“There were guitar players weeping”: The moment Jimi Hendrix silenced Jeff Beck, Paul McCartney, and Keith Richards with one songPicture this: it’s 1966, and London is awash with some of the best musicians in the world. It was 1966 when Jimi Hendrix landed in London, with little to no possessions to his name, bar his trusted left-handed Fender Stratocaster. It was a moment none of them could forget, according to vocalist Terry Reid, who remembered more of the shock and awe than the specifics of the music Hendrix played. There were guitar players weeping. The bar had officially been raised, and it was now up to the players of the scene to match it.
