Photo Gallery: Jimi Hendrix's Guitar World Covers Through the Years
Here's a photo gallery of every Jimi Hendrix appearance of on the cover of Guitar World magazine throughout the years (plus a couple of Legends covers).
As of this year's December issue, Jimi Hendrix will have graced the cover of Guitar World 15 times.
It's an impressive feat, considering Hendrix passed away more than 40 years ago. But these are the spoils rewarded to you when you're the most influential guitar player of all time.
Jimi's latest Guitar World cover issue hits stands on October 18 and features a comprehensive overview of the guitarist's 100 greatest performances -- with commentary from Eric Johnson, Jerry Cantrell and Joe Satriani, among others. You can get a peek at it now in this photo gallery of Jimi Hendrix covers through the years. All Jimi's covers, from his first on our five-year anniversary issue in 1985 to this year's December cover, are here, as well as his appearances on the covers of our Legends series.

I saw Jimi @ Woodstock '69 - early Monday morning - all who were left were there to see Jimi. I am glad he is recognized as the greatest guitarist who ever played one - because he is. Sure there are many great ones Les Paul and Wes Montgomery, BB King, Eric Clapton but Jimi Hendrix is in a second to none class- the Greatest~. You tube has the greatest collections of his videos and should be observed closely to see and hear what he did. I turned my grandson onto Electric Ladyland - it is hard to imagine such imagination released through steel strings and a simple pedal.
Not to be a bummer but have you seen "Jimi Hendrix: The Last 24 Hours"? I recommend it. I wish Jimi were able to have continued making music.
He was like a friend to who ever listens to him. selah
