Jimi Hendrix

I told you, penny, I'll publish posts about more big, huge problems like global warming or American election, but that's so hard and boring to me. As expected, my best intersts are music, arts, something more freer things. So I can't keep going with social or political things. Sorry. But I'll just keep going and on and on with my beautiful things, like this.

Today, I wanna talk about the person who is the legend of guitarists.
Jimi Hendrix.

Recently I'm practicing the guitar. It's so hard.
I guess guitar is one of the hardiest instrument to play for the first time.
In the beginning, It's so hard to handle the guitar, I was almost upset and so depressed about this. Now I can do it better, but still I'm just a biginner.
So I thought about great guitarists and decided to write about Jimi Hendrix.

When I first heard Jimi, the song was "little wing".
Have you ever heard that? I can say that you will admire this song. It doesn't matter if you like rock music or not, if you love listening music or not.
My feeling about this song was
first - He is not only playing the guitar great but also singing a song very nicely.
second - Ohhhh this guitar's sound is so awesome!

I recommend you to listen this song.
I couldn't find a clip for this but I find this.
This is another song of Jimi.
Jimi's live concert clips are all splendid.
I watched some live clips in DVD, it was beyond the expectation.
Take This!!!!!!!!!!
(Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chind)

See? Jimi was so great. and He is great now, too.

Jimi plays guitar with opposite side. When people usually play the guitar with guitar's neck in the left hand, but Jimi is not. Jimi holds guitar's neck in his right hand. Why? When he first play the guitar, the guitar's master was his friend, who was lefthander. So the guitar was for lefthander, too. (The guitar's neck and body are opposite side) Jimi practiced the guitar with that, and Jimi plays with holding his guitar's neck with right hand. Sometimes Jimi made his own custom-made guitar for his habit(right hand neck thing) and played with that. Another special thing about Jimi is the guitar's tuning. Jimi tuned tue guitar up in special scale. Not in correct usual scale, he tuned with a little bit low or high level of tones. So he could make his own sound. I think his color has indescribable impressions.

All the great musicians are dead, but eternally alive in fans heart. Jimi passed away even before when I was born, I can still listen his songs. And there was no internet, computer things, but now there is so many websites about Jimi. It's so great.


Practice and Practice!
I wanna play many wonderful songs!

Music makes me happy. It is so formal expression, but it's absolutely true for me.
