Rest he nuggets unpublished Jimi Hendrix?

2009-11-01T18:47:00.000-08:00

The half-sister of Jimi Hendrix promises leaving many unpublished in the next decade. Can you believe it?

Mid-September, the adopted sister of Jimi Hendrix announced loudly still have in reserve "a decade of music and videos" unpublished guitar hero and promised to leave the news every 12 to 18 months.

We interviewed Yazid Manou, a specialist in France and reference for everything concerning Jimi Hendrix.

"We must first put the ad in context", says it immediately. "In late August, the Jimi Hendrix catalog has changed hands. He left Universal, in which Hendrix was from its beginnings through Polydor / Barclay, for Sony. It will take effect from 1 January 2010. Now, who said change in said catalog editions.

"So we will always qualify as a series of reissues, the label wishing once again put his mark on the artist. But to push the public to buy" Are You Experienced "for the 10th time, Sony is likely to propose editions deluxe, with new technical processes or bonus.

Distinguish true and unpublished news
This being so, can we expect real news? Here it is, as we said Yazid Manou, to distinguish new and completely unknown material. The diehard fans have in fact already aware of dozens of bands and nuggets that are yet officially unpublished. It is therefore possible for the rights-holders boast unpublished to publish simple rarities along with a more distinguished packaging (booklet etc. ...).

Jimi Hendrix (c) DR "Jimi Hendrix was a perfectionist, he spent his time recording the same songs, up to thirty or forty times, until they were completely satisfied. So there is plenty to get out of Alternative unpublished taken every month for fifteen years, "says he.

Especially that Janie Hendrix (adopted by Jimi's father, Al), which manages the rights to Jimi since 1995, jumped on most of the bands that emerged from the closet and drag buys, like the young guy who had been filmed the scene in black and white the entire concert of Jimi at Woodstock ... back - a new perspective exciting for the fans, that Janie had the idea to mix with the arch-known images of the same concert.

The same Janie has also created a label, Dagger Records, reissues sell real fake bootlegs (bootlegs) at a price of 10 euros with booklet, photos, etc. ... And offers concerts by streaming on the site jimihendrix.com.

the guitar history

2009-11-01T17:09:00.000-08:00

The guitar is one of the instruments with the most distant relatives through history and the world. For many, the first instrument resembling a guitar could date from 2000 BC. One finds in fact on representations of the Babylonians (1900 BC) but also in Egypt the same time.
The guitar n'apparue Europe than IX th century, probably introduced via Spain where the Arabs and Berbers people crossing the Mediterranean and brought their cultural specificities. Stringed instruments were common during the years until the renaissance lute which made its appearance. The guitar appears in the form now known to the XV century, is considered to be long an instrument of low category (compared to the lute, an instrument noble).
Obviously the first guitars were very different from those we know today: usually the strings were doubled, the body was very short and rarely handle more than 8 frets.
The guitar, easy access to and quality support naturally took his place in the family of stringed instruments to become over the years one of the references in the category of instruments "go anywhere". But it's really thanks to the two Spanish guitar really bored: Antonio de Torres Jurado and Francisco Tarrega. These two men of the nineteenth century sought to find the correct dimensions of the instrument, the ideal arrangement of strings, and allowed him to return from the instruments to accompany the major components of the romantic era. Torres will become the most popular maker for the sound of his guitar, Tarrega and one of the greatest virtuosos of the instrument. Many students of these great masters have become very famous guitarists, but it is a self-taught instrument that will give an international dimension: Andres Segovia.
Over time the repertoire of this instrument is therefore popular enthusiasm and of course important. So much so that the guitar goes into schools in England, which eventually incorporate into their lessons to the twentieth century, one of the last instruments to enter.

The guitar will then be taken up by hundreds of makers who seek to change the instrument on both its sound and musical qualities on the design of the object. In the early 1920s, while jazz bands looking to expand their guitar solos to test in public, Lloyd Loar, an engineer with the Gibson brand, created the first micro electromagnetic guitar: this is the beginning of an era electric.
