James Marshall Hendrix (called Johnny Allen Hendrix by his mother for a time, and generally known as Jimi Hendrix) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter whose guitar playing was a considerable influence on rock music. After initial success in Europe, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival.
Hendrix helped develop the technique of guitar feedback with overdriven amplifiers. He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Elmore James, rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, as well as by some modern jazz. In 1964, Hendrix's father told pioneering R&B producer Robert "Bumps" Blackwell that his son idolized Little Richard and desired to play in his band, although he was playing B.B. King-style blues at the time. By 1966, following playing and recording with Little Richard, Hendrix stated, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice." The Rolling Stone named Hendrix the best guitarist on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003
