If 6 Was 9 - Jimi Hendrix - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Revolutionary guitarist Jimi Hendrix was at the peak of his powers in 1967, riding high off of the success of his band The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s debut album Are You Experienced?. For their follow-up record Axis: Bold as Love, the group teamed up once more with producer Chas Chandler to record a batch of songs that showcased Jimi Hendrix’s growth as a songwriter and instrumentalist. "If 6 Was 9", one of the album’s 13 tracks, is an experimental blues number with a number of stops and starts, and a decidedly unconventional approach to its effects-laden guitar solo. The track chugs along as Jimi Hendrix sings lyrics about individuality, exploring the social and cultural dichotomies between the counter-cultural movement and the white-collar conservatives of the 1960s. The song was also notable for launching a number of numerology-based urban legends around the significance of the number 9 and Jimi Hendrix’s death three years later.
