Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. Which guitar legend was born in Seattle and came to national prominence when he burned his guitar on stage at the Monterrey Pop Festival, formed the Experience and performed a legendary guitar solo at Woodstock?"
...1. Alvin Lee 2. Joe Satriani 3. Steve Vai 4. Jimi Hendrix Jimi grew up in Seattle with little to his name. In 1957 he saw an Elvis concert. In 1959 his dad gave him an electric guitar without an amp. He constantly practiced although, ironically, the only class he was failing at the time was music. He didn't graduate high school and after a couple of brushes with the law he enlisted to become an Army Ranger. He was discharged after an injury reportedly ruined his hopes of being a paratrooper. Hendrix decided to move to Nashville and ended up working as a sideman for several artists and bands. He then meandered to New York in the mid-sixties and after stints with various bands he was spotted by Animals bass player Chas Chandler, who brought him to England. Alvin Lee was with Ten Years After and also wowed the crowd at Woodstock. New York guitarist Joe Satriani gave lessons to fellow New Yorker Steve Vai.
