It\u2019s common to hear blues-rock legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer cover Jimi Hendrix. But for this list, I want to highlight three alternative rock covers you may not be familiar with. The first reading remains true to Hendrix\u2019s signature style. But the others show just how far the guitarist\u2019s influence has reached. Hendrix not only transformed the electric guitar but also forever changed rock music, including a subgenre that often went out of its way to avoid rock\u2019s clich\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See how these alt-rockers below interpreted an artist who himself upended similar conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
