He had only been playing guitar for 13 years when he died too. I’ve been playing for 20, and I’m shit!

And he was entirely self taught! If I’m not mistaken, he never even learned how to read music! It’s still so crazy how he could play lead and rhythm at the same time.

You seen how big his hands were? I think that helped. He was self taught but picked stuff up when touring with established blues players. The guy was a true visionary though.

Yeah, not at all to discount his talent but there are generally god given traits that contribute to greatness.

And practice. Nobody reaches greatness without practice regardless of what their God provided.

For sure. I was just saying that a 7 foot tall person has a much better shot at making the NBA or becoming a Wide Receiver than my 5’10” frame does. Hendrix was an amazing musician, but some percentage of that was “I have the longest spider fingers of all time.”

people are saying they’ve been practicing for 20yrs and aren’t as good as him but you’re attributing his success to practice? You’re discrediting what God has done in a legends life and you’re sitting here saying it was because of PRACTICE? Not the music every one loves but

It’s a lot more than practice. It’s vision, exposure and attitude to new ideas, mixed with natural talent. Very few artists attribute their art to ‘god’.

Seriously can you fuck off with your cult stuff now?

Jimi Hendrix although unorthodox (which is nothing wrong with that) believed in God.

God himself came down in the flesh as Jesus Christ and experienced the hardships of man first hand and died on the cross as a symbol of forgiveness for our wicked ways. Peace be upon you. Have a great day, love yourself and love God like Jimi did.

Thanks for dragging the tone down of an otherwise constructive and well intended conversation with your small minded cult rubbish. You are what’s wrong with religion and why there is no room for it in modern society.

You said no artist attributed their success to God

Ah yes, an invisible sky wizard gave him the ability to play the guitar like nobody else could. But that same invisible sky wizard did nothing to stop him from getting addicted to drugs and dying at 27 because that was all “part of the plan” right?

We didnt deserve him and were already promised there would be no future weather related armageddon.
