Celebrating Jimi Hendrix’s Legacy with the Experience Hendrix Tour

Jimi Hendrix’s impact on music is immeasurable, and Experience Hendrix, LLC — founded by his father, James “Al” Hendrix — continues to honor that legacy through an electrifying series of all-star tribute concerts. What began as a one-time event at Seattle’s Bumbershoot arts and music festival in 1995 has grown into a powerful ongoing tradition, bringing together legendary musicians and rising stars alike to celebrate Hendrix’s groundbreaking artistry.

Over the years, this tribute has evolved from single-night spectacles to full-fledged tours spanning major cities across the US and beyond. Whether through special one-night-only events, the traveling Red House Tour, or the nationwide Experience Hendrix Tour, the mission has remained the same: to bring Jimi’s music to life in a way that recordings alone cannot capture.

“The Experience Hendrix Tour is a rare opportunity for fans to hear Jimi’s music performed live by an incredible lineup of artists,” says Janie Hendrix, President and CEO of Experience Hendrix, LLC. “It’s more than just a tribute — it’s a way to honor his influence and share his timeless sound with new generations.”

The tour has welcomed participation from some of the biggest names in rock and blues, including former Hendrix bandmates such as bassist Billy Cox, who played alongside Jimi in both the Band of Gypsys and the Experience. Cox has expressed deep appreciation for the Hendrix family’s dedication, noting how their work has preserved the music and given the musicians who played with Jimi a proper platform. Fellow Experience member Mitch Mitchell also praised the organization’s commitment to protecting Hendrix’s name and artistic integrity.

Decades after his passing, Hendrix remains a towering figure in music and pop culture. His songs continue to appear in films, TV shows, and video games, and his influence can be heard in the work of modern artists across multiple genres. From rock icons including Lenny Kravitz and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to classical innovators such as Nigel Kennedy, Jimi’s spirit lives on in unexpected and inspiring ways.

The Experience Hendrix Tour not only showcases a selection of today’s top musicians — such as Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Joe Satriani, and Mike McCready — but also brings together legendary artists who directly inspired Hendrix himself, such as blues great Buddy Guy. It’s this unique blend of past and present, of influence and innovation, that makes the Experience Hendrix Tour such an unforgettable musical journey. Every performance is a powerful reminder of why Jimi Hendrix remains one of the most important and influential musicians of all time.

The Gear That Brings Hendrix’s Sound to Life

Jimi Hendrix’s tone was built on a combination of innovative playing techniques and cutting-edge (for the time) equipment. His iconic sound was shaped by a mix of Marshall stacks, fuzz-driven sustain, and expressive modulation. Today’s Experience Hendrix Tour artists use a range of gear to re-create that unmistakable sonic footprint. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular gear to consider if you want to nail the iconic tones of Jimi Hendrix.To get Jimi Hendrix’s iconic tone, you’ll need gear that captures his signature blend of gritty fuzz, psychedelic modulation, and powerful tube-driven amplification. Hendrix was known for using Fender Stratocasters, Marshall amps, and a handful of key effects pedals including the Fuzz Face, Uni-Vibe, and Vox wah. Below, we’ve curated a list of guitars, amps, and pedals available on Sweetwater.com that can help you achieve the classic Hendrix sound. These selections include both authentic re-creations and modern alternatives that stay true to his vibe.

Guitars

Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster – Olympic White

Hendrix famously played Stratocasters, often flipped upside down as a lefty. This signature model features a reverse headstock, a maple neck, and vintage-style single-coil pickups designed to mimic his tone.
