CLASSIC ARTISTS would not have a complete series on rock legends and their mark on the world of music without making this film, the final word on guitar virtuoso JIMI HENDRIX. Rather than drudging up scandal and outworn hypothesis about his lifestyle and ultimate death, CLASSIC ARTISTS looks at Hendrix the master of electric guitar, as told by a selection of the world's greatest musicians in all new and exclusive interviews to CLASSIC ARTISTS (Dave Mason/TRAFFIC, Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor/The ROLLING STONES, Eric Burdon/The ANIMALS, Paul Rodgers/BAD COMPANY, Ginger Baker/CREAM, Bev Bevan/ELO, Stephen Stills/CROSBY, STILLS & NASH and others), some who were his mentors, some his contemporaries and admirers of his incredible talent, and those who emerged as new talent as a result of his influence, explaining why Hendrix's work remains at the zenith of rock music to this day. Moving beyond the icon and the myth, CLASSIC ARTISTS brings alive the images and music that Jimi Hendrix evoked from his very soul, using the instrument as, he put it, his "personal diary." This style evoked a home-grown and raw, uncensored sensuality, which indeed was his nature and that of his music, as if he were his own muse. Narrated by SLASH (GUNS N ROSES/VELVET REVOLVER) a longtime Hendrix acolyte, this film is less a biography than the first film ever to focus on the music itself and the impetus of the master who created it.
