Introduction
Jimi Hendrix redefined electric guitar forever: feedback as a musical tool, expressive whammy-bar phrasing, fuzz pushed to the edge, and roaring amps. From Monterey ’67 to Woodstock ’69, his palette shaped psychedelic rock. The blend of a Fender Stratocaster, Fuzz Face, Vox Wah, and Marshall Super Lead stacks delivered aggressive yet controlled tone from shimmering cleans to saturated soundscapes.
