                His father bought him his first guitar.That second part is not true. The guitars he owned he restrung. It was common for him to play a right handed guitar "upside down".In fact he played the bass guitar that way on All along the Watchtower. Noel Redding the Bass player had walked out. My source is better than your source. I have also been a fan since 1970!

                    Jimi Hendix used devices built by Roger Mayer. Slightly modified Fuzz Face and the Octavia which was used on Purple Haze.

                      i saw him play at the Shoreham ballroom on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC at age 16. Approx 1968! Ending up seeing him later that night at a 'Little Tavern' hamburger stand in Georgetown. One of the best shows of my life!

                        That's so cool. I tried to get my dad to let me see him at the LA Forum on 25 April 1970. My only chance at 11 years old! :B

                            Cool. A nine year old thread. I have one. What was the name of the original drummer for the Beatles before Ringo Starr took the sticks? And as a bonus question, what was their original band name?
