  • One night in 1969 at the San Diego Sports Arena, Hendrix did an otherworldly version of his blues signature song "Red House". I listened hundreds of times, and I learned to play the blues :)

    *Jimi Hendrix: A Brother’s Story by Leon Hendrix, copyright 2012*
    Chapter 11 ‘Still Dreaming’
    Page 182 |P3
    One afternoon, we lit up our first joint of the day and finally had a chance to talk about his playing.
    “How do you make all of those noises out of there?” I asked. “How do you get all that wild sound?”
    “The pedals-the wah-wah and the fuzz tone. The Marshall amps I’m using have a huge sound, and the Fender Strat is a great guitar,” Jimi told me, leaning back and spreading out on his chair. “You know, Leon, after all those years of being in those bands and people telling me what to play and having to play exact arrangements, those are second nature. My stuff exists outside of those lines. I’m free. As long as the bass player stays in the root, I can do what I want. If it starts feeding back, then fine. The strings and notes and tones are fighting against each other, but the guitar is still tuned to E, so it’s going to at least be in that area. I could be playing a lead way up high, but that low E string could still be feeding back. So there are two tones going on. It’s like you’re playing two guitars at the same time. *You have to let it go, but still control it.* The guitar is pretty open. You can’t really hit a bad note unless you don’t know how to bend it and shape it into all the other melodies and tones going on. *It’s all about recovery. It’s the most important part of soloing and improvising.* You know what I’m talking about?”
    I did. When Jimi explained things, they always made perfect sense.
    One of my favorite songs of Jimi’s at the time was “Bold as Love,” off his second album, Axis: Bold as Love. When I told him my feelings on the track, he went into detail about some of the thinking that went into the writing of the lyrics. *Jimi was interested in the relationship between emotions, colors, and musical notes. He mentioned a concept called Energy Sound Color Dynamics-which he playfully sometimes referred to as E=sc2 to borrow a little style from Einstein’s E=mc2 theory.*
    Jimi was fascinated by the connection of the seven notes in a musical scale to the seven colors of the rainbow. Not to mention the interesting fact that red, yellow, and blue-the first, third, and fifth colors of the rainbow-are primary colors, while root, third, and fifth-the first, third, and fifth notes of a major scale-make up a major chord. If there was such a thing as “hearing in color” or “playing in color,” that was exactly what my brother was intent on accomplishing (or it may even be said that he had already accomplished it by then). Regardless, he was interested in practicing it. Jimi felt that if he couldn’t physically hold on to the music, he could at least describe it in color and somehow make it three-dimensional. He took his fascination with radio frequencies back when we were little boys to the next level. Not only was there sound and color to mold and shape in his songwriting, but there was also the energy-the soul, spirit, and emotion. The three elements together were something as powerful as anything. Jimi attempted to link everything together in one form, which was his music. My brother was always educating me in different ways. I felt as if he knew the answers, and that knowledge was total freedom to me.

      Weird, I had a similar epiphany some years back, about the connection between frequencies, vision, hearing, and perception. Hendrix being a true artist, put in words that simply express my complex ideas.
      It's somewhat a relief to have someone corroborate my notion.

    I've never heard anyone talk about this version of Red House but like Tim, I got this LP when I was a young teenager and there was something about that song on Hendrix in the West that just captured me! I've listened to it thousands of times and never tire of it. I knew and know I could NEVER play like that--I don't even think Jimi ever matched that version again. I was just a young white kid in Germany with a cheap Framus acoustic guitar listening to Top 40 but after I heard this I just became a Hendrix fanatic. I've heard a lot of versions of Red House but there are none that even come close to this one. And a lot of people may not like it because while it may start out very traditional, very in the pattern blues, he slowly builds the song into a hurricane of sound to the point that you don't really know it's a guitar making those sounds!! His guitar almost sounds orchestral. He's no longer playing NOTES but sounds and while he may have been influenced by Albert King---by the time this song ends you realize Jimi is in a flying saucer and Albert is in a Lincoln. By the way, this should be listened to in the dark, late at night with excellent headphones. The only other song by Jimi that matches this is the live version of Machine Gun from that original Filmore album....that is a religious experience and there are times in that performance where I think the gods are actually playing through Jimi!

      I did the same. Forty years later I can actually do much of his stuff Justice. But it’s been more of a hobby than a profession. Red House has been my latest focus. I can do the studio track Justice after a few months of focus and practice. I taught myself Castles … about 20 years ago. Now I can play it and sing at the same time. Hoping to work a little electric into a broad genre acoustic cover set.

    I love Albert King, he was a blues legend. That being said, calling Hendrix is not a blues guitarist is crazy if you ask me and many others. Here’s the thing with Hendrix, by the time he entered the UK he was doing things with his guitar that no one has seen or heard of ever before. Even though you can call that unorthodox, he had Blues in his roots and playing. If you ask Clapton, Page, or Beck? They would all agree he was the best. Not only was Hendrix a great player, his phrasing and rhythmic lines were incredible.

    Hendrix in the West. Redhouse. The record that literally changed my life. Became a professional guitarist and teacher. Was a teenager back then, so many older friends that supported and carried me. I'm thankful to my last day. I got this record as a present after having heard it for the first time through a Marantz Quadraphonic System. Still I put It on. Till this day, it touches me so deep, puts tears in my eyes. I can't help it. Music is meant to touch your heart or make you dance. Body and Soul. Electric Church, now I see.

The first time I heard Red House, the album version, I literally fell to my knees when those first scraping sounds introduce what’s coming. I always thought he was scraping his pick across the strings but found out it was feedback. I have listened to that song thousands of times. I can hear it without the music being on.

      I'm not sure if this is directed at my comment but, for the record (pun intended), I first heard it on a cassette tape, played on a half decent tape player on a fairly budget system. It blew my mind. It sounded best on vinyl, played through a Linn Karma, attached to a Fidelity Research FR64FX, attached to a Garrard 401, going through a homemade SRPP (valve) preamp attached to some homemade Williamson power amps and coming out of Lowther PM6As in Acousta cabinets. As close as you'll get to being there without you have the original masters. Having said that, the performances are more powerful than any equipment used to experience them and would sound awesome on even a mobile phone.

He would regale me with fingerstyle excellence on the 7-string. Howard was a strong proponent of moving lines, both in the bass and within chord progressions. and his teaching reflected that.

    Tim hits the resolving note in a lick and just before it he looks up with a smile because he knows it’s going to be great.
    I hit it and I look up in shock because it sounded good 🤷🏻‍♂️

    When I first heard Redhouse from Smash Hits for the first time I was a young teenager in the late 70's. That was it, after that I did pretty much the same thing, I bought a heavy ash Strat(which I still have)and studied every live version of the song and other epic JH blues I could find. So glad I went that route.

    When I was a kid I had the same album. "Hendrix in the West" has the best version of Little Wing too. And an awesome version of Johnny B Goode.

    Great Post, Tim! I've listened to 'Red House' off of 'Hendrix in the West' (like you), for decades! IMO - IT IS Hendrix' best version of 'Red House'. I know there are many others, but to me, this is the definitive version. As we all know, Jimi never played ANY song - the same way, twice! Nice Job, Tim! You Rock, Brother!

  • @charlespalla1978
    @charlespalla1978 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love it! This got me stoned years before I smoked. It's the lack of time and his meandering that sucks you in and when he hits the pocket it snaps up right and ready for his next riff. Chaz I was ten. Oh where did the years go.

Been a bedroom guitarist for about 20 years.

    always been obsessed with his Redhouse live @ Winterland. (10/11/68 version). Not from this world. love how you make the point of playing out of the pocket and it seems that when Hendrix was playing live you can hear his drummer trying to time his bars.

    Tim this is my
    favourite Hendrix track of all time. Like you I have listened to this song hundreds of times without getting tired of it.I discover something new every time I listen to it. You have come the closest to any guitarist I have heard to capturing its essence. We also need to give credit to the rhythm section in the recording which is rock solid. Have you ever considered doing a recording of your favourite Hendrix songs or even favourite guitar songs? I would be the first to buy it. Cheers! 👍👍
