Jimi Hendrix changed rock ‘n roll history. He pioneered several techniques that revolutionized music. Though he only had a short-lived career in music, his influence and impact cannot be stated enough. Decades later, he remains the standard by which everyone else was measured. With his god-tier skills on the guitar, Hendrix made his mark in rock.

“Music makes me high onstage, and that’s the truth,” Hendrix once wrote. “It’s almost like being addicted to music. You see, onstage I forget everything, even the pain. Look at my thumb – how ugly it’s become. While I’m playing I don’t think about it.”

“I just lay out there and jam,” he added. “You get into such a pitch sometimes that you go up into another thing. You don’t forget about the audience, but you forget about all the paranoia… Then you go into this other thing, and it turns out to be almost like a play in certain ways. I have to hold myself back sometimes because I get so excited – no, not excited, involved.”

This guitarist Ayla Tesler-Mabe played six of Hendrix’s most iconic riffs. And yes, she nailed every single one of them. Hendrix would be so proud.
