S1 E102:

He pleaded with his father to send his guitar to where he was stationed, and soon feigned a hurt back to attain an honorable discharge from the military. From a sideman playing behind some of the greatest names in R&B, to New York and across the continent to swinging London, the Jimi Hendrix Experience emerged as the hottest rock trio on the world stage.
