Did Alex learn to play guitar from Hendrix while in a coma??

[comaquestion]

Believe me, I know this sounds crazy. I have a coworker who swears that when he was in high school and college (late 70s/early 80s) it was common knowledge that Alex claimed to have learned to play guitar from Jimi Hendrix while he was in a coma. I've laughed at this many times but he still sticks to it. After doing some searching on the topic I've come up blank. Has anyone here ever heard of this rumor or is this guy the only one who has ever heard of it. Thanks for the help!!

Never heard that one and I was in HS in the late 70s/early 80s and a bona fide Rush fanboy.

I'm old enough to have heard the one about Rod Stewart ending up in the hospital because ... well ..... if you are old enough, you'll probably remember too

[callmejim]

Honestly, what is the point.

I was a little LITTLE kid at the time but I remember one of my older bros explaining it to me. AFTER it was explained WHY a stomach pump was needed, I asked, "But WHY would he do that?"

 

Must've been tough to have been one of my older bros when I little.

[Jomboni]

That's pretty cool of Jimi to take a break from his coma to teach this guy how to play!

[Amps211]

My chops prove that I learned to play guitar from Lamar Odem whilst he was in his coma ....

[HalfwayToGone]

Mine prove I didn't learn. Nope. Not one bit.

Was that the hamster or the stomach pump?

The variant I heard was that the source of the 17oz was a horse. Is that what you heard?
