Top guitarists celebrate Jimi Hendrix

It's a who's who of some of the best guitarists of the present celebrating the works of one of the most fiery six-stringers of the past. The "Experience Hendrix Tour" is loaded with the likes of Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Susan Tedeschi, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Living Color and more, all paying tribute to the Voodoo Chile himself.

Jimi Hendrix's playing was boundless, so it's fitting that such a wide range of artists, stylistically speaking, will be tackling his repertoire. And while they might not be setting any guitars on fire, the same can't be said of the stage.

See the "Experience Hendrix Tour" at 8 p.m. Saturday at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, 4455 Paradise Road. Tickets are $45-$125; call 693-5583.
