Too good to not share: Hendrix plays Machine Gun
Jimi Hendrix once again shows why he was the king of cool in his era.
Rumor has it that Jimi Hendrix didn’t sing because he thought his voice wasn’t good enough, until he heard Dylan, and then he said why not.
Not sure if that is true, but when Hendrix began singing, it was magical, and while he left us too early, he left us with plenty of memories.
Memories like this outstanding live recording of his song Machine Gun.
Playing a 60’s CBS-era Fender Stratocaster in black, a right handed model flipped upside down, as was his wont.
And he shows us to this day how it is done.
Enjoy this masterclass in cool.
