Jimi Hendrix Portrait

Guitar genius, James Marshall Hendrix, hero to many guitar players. His father was black and his mother was Cherokee, he was really into drugs, he died when he was 27 in London, drowned in regurgitated red wine. When you listen to his music, his guitar playing, you think, "This is not notes on a page, this is human outcries!" He had creativity and put his soul into it. He bought his 1st guitar for $5, had good grades, except in music class where he managed to get an F, yes failed. He was known to have a real love for fashion and spent his first big check on groovey clothes and funky accessories.
