I've been wanting to post these pics to share to you guys. Any Hendrix fan out there that hadn't got the chance to visit the legend were he rest.

Anybody ever want to visit the legend someday let me know, cause I go to this cemetary almost every weekend. Its the same resting place my late brother rests.

I see a lot of hendrix fan visiting him whenever I am in the area.

Bruce Lee when I get the chance I'll take pics too to share but thats at a different cemetary.

Last time I was down in Seattle I wanted to go check out his grave, but I didn't have enough time.

Rock on, you managed to pick his best video on you tube. This is an awesome song, performed live with The Band of Gypsies (not the Jimi Hendrix Experience).

I always thought of Hendrix as one of the few guys who could play one note, and you know who it is you're listening too.

You know how a band/singer has a lasting impact point on you and almost a 'timeline' as far as memories? Hendrix is that one.Alot on cassette replays, but just an all time musical dynamo.Castles made of sand-If 6 was 9-are u experienced-bold as love-crosstown traffic,- jeezuse it never ends.

Awesome pics Julius.Thanks for sharing

Bold as Love is my favorite Hendrix song. Hey Joe is a close 2nd.

I like all along the watch tower even though Bob Dylan wrote it.

Thanks for reply guys, Jimi is just awesome. His guitar work is amazing. Im too young to really know a lot about Jimi but I am learning about him and his work. Did he play the guitar backwards or upside down sometimes because he is left handed?

There is a cool statue of Jimi Hendrix outside a college school on broadway seattle. When I get a chance i would like to share that too.

He uses his guitar as toothbrush. They invented the distortion pedal because of him.

That's correct.

He had some right handed guitars, but it is my understanding they were restrung for a lefty so that high E was still in the lowest physical position and the low E in the highest position. So he played "normal" in that sense. I have been told that the fact that he played a right handed stratocaster restrung for a lefty contributed to his unique sound, because it somehow affected the tension of the strings.

Yeah, I thought it was implied that he re-strung them so the strings were in the normal position. I don't know anything about it changing the sound of the guitar, I suppose it's possible, but I know that even today left-handed guitars are often hard to find and more expensive that right-handed ones. Kurt Cobain at times played re-strung right-handed guitars for that reason.
