@@futurereflections4097 He did actually flip it upside down and then he strung the strings in the proper orientation. You can't play barr chords with your thumb the way Jimi pioneered if the low E string wasn't at the top of the fretboard. It's impossible. The guitar strings are set up and tuned the way they are (for standard tuning) to be ergonomic for your hand to hold and play chords. There are different tunings which change the "ergonomics" if you will, but the vast majority of these tunings are very seldom used. But even with the different tunings, the strings do have to be in that order.

I have an interesting family connection with Jimi Hendrix. My mother helped boo him off the stage in Greensboro, NC. She was 16 at the time and she and a venue full of teenage girls waiting to see The Monkees. Jimi Hendrix was their opening act. There was a mini-documentary made recently about that night. I'm still trying to understand how someone thought it was a great idea to have those two musical acts tour together.

No one sounds like Jimi Hendrix. He did not use a metronome. He had jazz sensibilities and did not routinely play on the beat. Sometimes ahead and sometimes behind made his sound more organic and thought up on the spot. He did not play any of his songs the same way twice. All Voodoo Child recordings are different. He was always innovating and moving the needle. That restless energy pours out of his guitar like a flamethrower.

Robert Plant in attendance as well. Cheers Shon!

Not to take anything away from Jimi because he’s obviously amazing but, some pretty big time drummers have said it was Mitch Mitchell’s (drummer) band and Jimi was the guitarist and singer. Mitch was very underrated. I’m a 90’s Bulls fan so it’s kinda like Jordan and Pippen lol

Sorry, that is absolute *nonsense* mate. Yes, Mitch Mitchell was an excellent drummer; he wasn't an era-defining genius though. Hendrix was. He'd have been a superstar and a legend with or without Mitch. The reverse doesn't necessarily apply. And let's remember it wasn't only about the guitar playing - Hendrix wrote nearly all their songs, with a couple of negligible contributions from Noel Redding; he was the mastermind behind the expansive, experimental soundscapes on Electric Ladyland. And he was the singer too. Mitchell's band my arse!
