Jimi Hendrix is primarily known as an Electric Guitar Player, and a brilliant one of that.
I think it’s important to hear guitar players without the electronics, unplugged before being unplugged was fashionable. So here’s a youTube of Jimi Hendrix playing his acoustic blues on 12 string guitar. I’ve loved it since I first heard it in the early seventies and it dfinitely stands the test of time.
Enjoy the Jimi Hendrix acoustic guitar video on youTube

Thanks Jason
I watched the video. He’s a very interesting, quite young and I’d love to see where he’s at in about five or ten years when he matures. I can’t honestly see any relationship between Hendrix and this guy. But I really appreciate you pointing out his playing. There are other players that player 8 and 10 string acoustic guitars such as Egberto Gismonti and Ralph Towner as well
If you want to comment it’s great, but next time add a little content about the player so we can be a litlle more informed

At one point in the video you can see what looks like a 4 leaf clover type logo.

I’m pretty sure it’s an old Eko, an Italian guitar
