Jimi Hendrix learn and practice the guitar when he was growing up. He wanted to express his feeings some how. He tried lots of other interments before he played the guitar. He wanted a guitar at first but his family was to poor to afford one. His Dad’s friend played cards with him every Friday. One day, his Dad’s friend was losing and he needed money to keep in the game. So he sold his guitar to Jimi for five dollars. Jimi played the guitar all the time. He even slept with his guitar. “ Jimmy always slept with his guitar . I used to think of my competition not as a woman but as a guitar. Many times he fell back asleep with it on his chest. Any time I tired to remove it, he woke and said , ‘No, No, No, leave my guitar alone.” said Larry Lee. As he grew , so did his guitar skills . He learn at a fast pace. He could play the guitar behind his back when he was 16 and under his legs. Only one problem stood in his way. He was lefty at most things he did and back then if you were lefty you could not play guitar. But he change that by changing the stings around and just played.
