About Playlist
To appreciate the full range of guitar expression that hit the world in 1969, start with anything Jimi Hendrix recorded that year—including that famous for-the-ages interpretation of “The Star Spangled Banner” from Woodstock—and then move in any stylistic direction. The Peak Guitar playlist hits on some of the major landmark recordings from that year; with a few exceptions all were created in 1969. It’s a long playlist, but really it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Photos courtesy Legacy Recordings
