Hendrix.

Sometimes when I realise that it's time to sleep I tend to listen to music all night and I sleep very late. I can't help it, I feel really tempted listening to music before I sleep. I kind of really listen to every detail of the song; it's what actually keeps me up. At the moment I am listening to lots of Hendrix.
We all have our own heroes and he is one of mine. I can't remember how I started listening to Hendrix but I remember the first time I listened to him it just blew me away and I got hooked immediately. I have never been playing guitar this much eversince I started writing my own compositions. I just . . . love it and I can't get enough. I want to get better at playing guitar.
Anyways, I am not a Fender kind of guy (I'm more of a Gibson) but sometimes I just feel like playing on a Fender guitar because it somehow makes me feel like my hero and I don't know why but I associate Fender with Hendrix. Hendrix is Fender and Fender is Hendrix.

"There is no such thing as 'the greatest'. Art isn't sport. It's not a competition. There is no best painter, no best sculptor, no best guitar player, no best writer etc... You can measure how good someone is by their technical skills, but it doesn't mean shit artistically. Hendrix wasn't a guitar player, he was an artist."

Someone wrote this comment on a Hendrix video on Youtube. I couldn't agree more.
