JamsBio partnered with Universal Music Enterprises to celebrate 40 years of the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Electric Ladyland by asking you to submit top 5 lists, reviews, and memories of anything and everything Jimi Hendrix related.

You entered the contest for a chance to celebrate this amazing rock legend, and to win a Gibson V-Factor Flying V guitar or a  Jimi Hendrix Experience music/DVD prize pack containing selections from the UMe reissue catalog. The guitar is our biggest prize to date, and will make one of you very happy.

The winners who will receive the CD/DVD prize pack are:

  • UTMark of Houston, TX, who picked up a guitar because of Jimi Hendrix and writes about it in this post.
  • OldSchoolRock from Simi Valley, CA, who shares his top 5 Best Jimi Hendrix Songs
  • villajunction4 from Floral Park, NY, who added to the Best Jimi Hendrix Guitar Solos list

The lucky user who will get to jam out on the Gibson Flying V Guitar:

  • che_reborn of Hollywood, AL, whose first memory of Hendrix was when he was only 4 years old. He remembers it so vidily because he was listening to Jimi Hendrix’s album, “Axis: Bold as Love” and describes the experience as his eardrums sprouting wings and taking him to what seemed like heaven or nirvana.

Congratulations to all winners. Make sure you practice those guitar riffs so you can sound just like Jimi.

If you didn’t win, you can still get your hands on get your piece of the Jimi Hendrix Experience…
