Just a few months after Jimi turned 16 his mother Lucille died. Jimi got his first guitar later in the year of his mother 's death. ("Time Line") Many people think his heartbreak over his mother 's death is why Jimi turned to the guitar and writing music because, "At its core, Hendrix 's music was all about the blues." (Fricke). A year later in 1959 Jimi played in his first concert with "The Velvetones". Then Jimi dropped out of high school to join the army. He was only in the army for about 3 months because he got injured during a mission and was discharged. Less than a year after being discharged from the army Jimi began to play on the R & B circuit. After about 4 years of that Jimi formed his own band called "Jimmy James and The Blue Flames". In this band is where he was discovered by a man named Chas Chandler. ("Jimi Hendrix Biography") Then on October 6, 1966 Jimi Hendrix 's most popular band was formed, "Jimi Hendrix Experience". Over the course of about 2 years the Jimi Hendrix Experience released their 1st, 2nd and…
