Jimi Hendrix Trivia
|
- Elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience) in 1992.
- Usually played a fender stratocaster upside down.
- Was one-quarter Cherokee, through his grandmother.
- Hendrix played left-handed, much to the chagrin of his father, who believed that playing left-handed was a sign of the Devil! As Jimi's brother witnessed, Jimi played right-handed when his dad was present. After the elder Hendrix left the room, Jimi would use his famous left hand. Jimi wrote with his right hand, however.
- Played in the Ike Turner Review under the name of Jimmy James.
