Greatest Guitarist of All Time”. Born to James Allen “Al” Hendrix and Lucille Jeter, Hendrix was part Cherokee and his father had six fingers on both hands. Although Jimi had to make do with the traditional five he crafted dozens of unmistakable riffs, such as the nervous warbling intro to “Foxy Lady,” and the imperious sledgehammer hook that drives “Purple Haze.” In possession of a soulful voice imbued with the spirit of the blues, Hendrix built up a loyal fanbase and revolutionized every genre he touched, from hard rock to psychedelia.
