Summary

Description

The Jimi Hendrix Experience had one of the most dazzling and sensational careers of any band. Their roller-coaster ride through a schedule of sell-out tours and frantic recording sessions left them crazed with sex, drugs, stardom, and exhaustion but at the same time they produced some of the most explosive, inventive, and inspired music ever heard. Now, for the first time, Experience bassist Noel Redding tells the whole story. He lucidly and wittily describes the making of the band's startlingly innovative music how their phenomenal stage act, featuring Hendrix playing with his teeth and setting his guitar on fire, engendered a state of mass hysteria in the audience and the scarring aftermath of legal hassles and corporate duplicity. Frank, funny, rich in anecdotes, and full of insights into Hendrix, his genius, and the way it has been exploited, Are You Experienced? is a no-holds-barred account of an unforgettable band and a musical legend.

Full-dress classics that usually never touch water aren't covered; instead, the author focuses on teaching the reduced married-wing patterns that will enable the aspiring full-dress tier to proceed to that level, if so desired. Everything both the beginning and experienced tier needs to achieve competence is here: crisp and detailed tying steps accompanied by instructive color photographs. You'll have fun learning to properly dress these pretty and practical salmon flies...and as a benefit, your trout-fly tying will improve as well. (111/4 X 83/4, 248 pages, color photos, illustrations)
