James Marshall 'Jimi' Hendrix (1942-1970) reshaped electric guitar with feedback, distortion, and his Woodstock performance of 'The Star-Spangled Banner'. His band 体验合唱团 (The Jimi Hendrix Experience) and albums like 《Are You Experienced》(1967) are canonical in 摇滚 (yáogǔn, rock) discourse in Chinese music writing.
