Jimi Hendrix Standard

Many people aspire to be as talented as Jimi Hendrix. Although his music career didn’t last long, his music had a lasting effect on the music industry.

Hendrix is voted by many as the greatest guitar player in history. It was a chance meeting that led Hendrix to his success. an associate of the Rolling Stones enjoyed Hendrix playing and recommended him to several record labels. He was rejected at first, but after performing in front of Eric Clapton (who was quoted to have said “my life was never the same again” following Hendrix’s performance), it was then he started to rise to fame.

His success had been european, but his band didn’t really have an impact on the States until Paul McCartney recommended Hendrix and his band for a concert. Hendrix then supported the monkees on tour, and this has been speculated as a tour to gain publicity for Hendrix.

You could reach Hendrix’s level of playing with D'Addario Guitar Strings.

Sid Vicious

Sid Vicious is known as the image of punk rock. Although The Sex PIstols had already released their trademark punk music and began touring, Vicious has been quoted as the image upon his arrival to the band.

He was one of the most influential bass players to hit the punk rock genre. The ironic part being, Sid couldn’t actually play Bass. Sid’s bandmates were known to unplug Sid’s bass during their gigs. Sid was completely aware of this and has been quoted as saying he didn’t know how to play.

Sid Vicious had his life cut short when he dies of a heroin overdose at the age of 21. It is believed that his mother gave him the heroin that would kill him. Whether or not she knew it was going to be used for an overdose is not clear.

The original Bass Guitarist of The Sex Pistols, Glen Matlock, was replaced by Sid after he left the band.

Maybe Sid may have had better luck playing if he had some D'Addario Bass Strings

bass bass and a bit more bass

Bass guitars are enjoyed by many musicans. very seldom will you come across a song that doesn’t have a bass line present. bass guitars are typically easier to play thant the guitar as you are only able to play one note at a time rather than chords on a guitar. this means that the beat is more pronounced almost like a drum.

in most instances the bass line is very similar to the beat of the drum as it gives it more sustainability.

people usually use their fingers when strumming the strings of a bass guitar, in a one two motion meaning one strum with your index finger the next with your middle finger the next with your index finger and so on. other people prefer to use a plectrum. Which one you prefer to use ultimately comes down to what style of music you prefer to play.
