When Jimi Hendrix began playing London, he pulled out all the tricks he’d learned. That included playing the guitar on his back on the ground; playing in between his legs; and playing with his teeth picking the guitar strings. His wild performances helped launch him on the British scene in 1966.
Later, as Hendrix’s songwriting talents grew and his songs became more complex, he didn’t want to keep pulling out his stage tricks. But audiences expected it by then. “The trouble was, audiences took it as something they must see or they didn’t enjoy the show,” he explained.
Amazing. A legend :-D
