“The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.”
— Jimi Hendrix
The history
The 1967 Monterey Pop Festival is remembered for Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire. His electrifying performance culminated in the burning of his Stratocaster guitar, becoming a landmark in the history of music and counterculture. This daring act marked the festival's pinnacle, launching Hendrix to global fame and solidifying rock as a revolutionary force. The event also promoted the integration of diverse styles and had a strong social responsibility component, contributing to the promotion of peace and unity. Hendrix and his flaming guitar continue to be icons of culture and music.
About the Project
I've always been a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix, and the idea behind this project is to pay tribute to one of my all-time favorite artists and, of course, to further develop my work by learning new techniques. I want to express my gratitude to my friends for their invaluable tips and support. This project is also dedicated to all my fellow musician friends.
Thank you!
