I can't stop myself from writing about this guitar legend who, despite not being knowing how to read or write music, made waves across the world and became an indisputable guitar legend.
Widely recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians of the 20th century, Jimi Hendrix pioneered the explosive possibilities of the electric guitar. Hendrix's innovative style of combining fuzz, feedback and controlled distortion created a new musical form. Because he was unable to read or write music, it is nothing short of remarkable that Jimi Hendrix's meteoric rise in the music took place in just four short years. His musical language continues to influence a host of modern musicians, from George Clinton to Miles Davis, and Steve Vai to Jonny Lang.

Some taste of Hip Hop for you
For all those who thought this blog is going to be full of Classics and Rock, this is just to inform you that this forum covers all genres and therefore something to give you a nice taste of Rap music, I choose Eminem to tell you the story of life....
Saw this killer movie 2 years back called "Eight Mile" starring Eminem and featuring songs and music done by himself...
Tells you the story of a guy who is white and wants to produce nice Rap music but the circuit is being dominated by the blacks.. well, this ain't said here to offend anybody or something, just narrating the story as the critics did..
Rap music was originated side by side of Hip hop as a musical genre which developed alongside hip hop culture, and is commonly based on concepts of looping, rapping, freestyling, DJing, scratching, sampling and beatboxing. The music is used to express concerns of political, social, and personal issues. Hip hop began in the Bronx in New York City in the 1970s, primarily among African Americans, with some Jamaican immigrant influence. The term rap is often used synonymously with hip hop, however, the latter denotes the practices of an entire subculture.
