Jimi Hendrix remains one of the most influential electric guitarists of all time, in spite of the fact that his career was cut short by his tragic death on September 18, 1970, at the age of 27. In this video clip, Hendrix is asked how often he practices the guitar. He responds: “I like to play to myself… in the room or before we go on stage or something like this, or whenever I feel down or depressed or whatever, you know. I can’t practice though, this is always constantly, what do you call it? Like a jam, you know. It’s hard for me to remember any notes ’cause I’m constantly trying to create other things. That’s why I make a lot of mistakes.”
