One of the most colorful and distinctive guitarists to come out of the late 60's and the decade of the 70's was Jimi Hendrix. He was considered to be a musical/guitar genius; one that was ahead of his time and who influenced the future direction of both blues and rock guitar.

While he was performing in the New York, he was noticed by Chas Chandler of the Animals. Chandler convinced him to move to London where he eventually formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience with drummer Mitch Michell & bassist Noel Redding. Their first album Are you experienced produced notable songs such as Hey Joe, Purple haze and Foxy Lady

Acoustic Guitar - The Polynesian Festival

This is my cousin Carl: singer- guitar player - he and I were directing traffic for the Polynesian Cultural School Festival in Dunedin, NZ. Schools (from pre-school to secondary) gather together over the course of two days to sing, dance and perform!

When we weren't directing traffic we would be talking and catching up. A friend of ours dropped by for a korero (confab) with his guitar; cousin Carl picks it up and starts playing - he really has a nice touch! (you can feel when someone has a nice touch!)

To get a nice touch is to feel your way around the fretboard, to hear the music in your head and to translate what you hear onto the fret-board. Knowing your fretboard give you options - some very colorful options limited only by your imagination and creativity! This suggest practice and lots of it! But first you will need to get instruction - GOOD INSTRUCTION if you want to learn how to play acoustic blues guitar well - - - so try this:
