25 Musicians Talk about Jimi Hendrix - เพลง
Im an old man now, 5 kids 12 grand children. I saw Jimi at the UFO club in London in 1968 and its one of the most incredible and memorable experiences of my life. To see such genius was an absolute privilege. Like seeing Beethoven perform live
Im from NZ- Michael Jackson only came to NZ once and i saw him live in 1996
When I tell Young people now, they want to know all about it.
Wow unbelievable did you ever see the floyd there especially with syd if so please tell us
Lucky, lucky man
In my bedroom I have a portrait of Beethoven & Jimi Hendrix on the wall. I have never seen anyone who played the guitar like Hendrix. He was one with that guitar as if he was making love to it. Unbelievably great!!!!
I used to hang at that club. Rodney Bingenheimer turned me on to it in 1969.
Jimi stood alone. As incredibly gifted as he was, never forget, Jimi practiced, rehearsed, jammed, recorded, and performed constantly. Gifted + extremely hard working = magic
I agree, he use to wake up an immediately straped on his guitar walking around the kitchen where ever non stop unplugged picking. Jimmy knew inspiration is an in the moment thing, so if stummbed on to something his guitar was where he was.
The scary thing about JH had not passed away he would be still playing inventing writing. He was a continus conduit of sonic sound.....
Very true.
48 Months on the scene
I've heard numerous of his acquaintances say that he Always had a guitar with him, even when he went to the movies.
The best 🎉
When Hendrix played at Woodstock and turned the Star Spangled Banner into the Vietnam war, he transcended rock music into a true art form. No guitarist before or since has reached that level of self expression - Incredible.
Absolutely.
You could hear the battle in Viet Nam and the original American war at the same time.
True, that & "Machine Gun" are sonic art.
That was just unreal, a definitive moment in the history of music and arts.
@@stedbenj & All the other Wars Since!! 🇬🇧 🌎. 😢
Hendrix was humble. In an interview the interviewer said he was the best guitarist in the world, and his response was he was the best guitarist on that stage where no one else played! Loved the cat!
Actually his response was that he was the best guitarist sitting in that chair that he was seated in at the time
@@MrPnew1actually his response was both of those things you both said lol
"Jimi was the best electric guitarist where no one played". - from his silly friend. - Al DiTomasso....
Good as they were, none of the English players I'd seen - Clapton, Beck, Townshend - prepared one for Hendrix. It wasn't a question of _degrees_ of ability.. but a _qualitative_ difference: the English guys all seemed like highly-skilled workers applying themselves to a task.. while Hendrix seemed a natural. Ferocious power and great delicacy side by side - delivered with equal nonchalance. They seemed to cost him nothing. Jimi had mastered technique so totally it was transparent, which allowed his playing to become a direct expression of _personality_ .. rather than a brilliantly executed performance.
--- John Perry
Nice tribute to master guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Salute!
Jimi is my "Hero". I was 14 and saw him live at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland in 1968. My very first concert in my life. He blew me away. Changed my life forever.
Wow Jimi Hendrix was your first concert? That pretty much ruined the rest of your life as far as concerts were concerned. I’d love to interview you for exact details from what you remember. The second person after Jesus is Jimi that I’m interested about hearing details from people who saw him walk this Earth. My friend saw him three times in Houston. I was only 60 days old when he died.
Wow!!!!
That's cool that you saw him at MPP. Great venue. The show you saw was the first time he played star spangled banner
Ditto dude also my 1st concert I was 13 ..with Aire Apparent & Fat Mattress opening the show✌🏾❤ ...If only he lived longer 😔
I'll bet it did...
Me and some high school friends went to a Jimi Hendrix experience concert in Chicago during February 1968 in Chicago on a Sunday night. That was the first time hearing loud music volume moving the air and vibrating your clothes. Concert tickets cost $16 dollars and 50 cents each. He actually made his guitar talk. There was 30 sunn speakers on stage. Jimi was on the left side and a drummer in the center and the bass player on the right side. I was 19 years old.
I was there too! And, I saw his other two appearances in ‘68 in Chicago as well; then in spring of ‘69 caught him in Madison.
Jimi Hendrix was an absolute Corp de Force! A total one-off who did so much to steer rock music into the field we all know today. Bands and musicians at the time had nothing but praise for his talent; otherworldly, off this planet, whatever they said, they were right. Such is as he was, his soul lives on in all of the solos, screaming feedback, distortion, sweet cleans that guitarists produce today. He is still with us. Keep playing, never give up! Thank you Jimi.
Jimi Hendrix played his guitar to the Universe.
Love that.
The two things that keep coming up from pretty much EVERY musician are: He was so absolutely gracious and almost shy, UNTIL he hit the stage!; Once he hit the stage, it was obvious, without question, he was from some other planet, if not from some other universe! I grew up with his music through high school and as I started playing bass and he was not just a great guitarist, but an absolutely astounding MUSICIAN!
Very provocative. Gripping
One time he was not so humble and I'm surprised that it wasn't meantioned....At a.festivable the various artists artists were fighting over you should go on last and close the show...( usually a coin toss ,decides it). But this time Hendrix picked up his guitar and played a crazy lick .and also behind his back and behind his neck....then put down his guitar and looked around at everyone silently looking at the floor ...as told by Grace Slick and others.who were there.
Jimi was and still is my favorite artist ever and that will never change. Been listening to him since I was 10 or so. Can’t imagine what he’d have made if he survived
Jimi was the best guitarist I ever heard.
a human conduit between soul and ear, is why he's number 1 for me
I was 11 yrs old folding chronicles at 5 am when I first heard Jimi Hendrix on a transistor radio and was stunned. I may have continued working for a newspaper company but instead I’m 70 now and still playing guitar. Thanks Mr. Hendrix and thanks for this post , illuminating and memorable to say the least . A being never to be forgotten who’s spirit remains.
Not Mister , Jimi!
Jimi's father gave him his right-handed guitar. Being left-handed, he simply flipped it to his left, and learned to play chords upside down!! GENIUS knows no boundaries!!!
I never knew that. The Joe Walsh piece with Howard at the end was the most informative for that reason.
no he didnt xD he restrung it normally what??
He restrung the guitar so it was basically a flipped left handed guitar. U actually think he learned how to play guitar completely upside down🤔
@@williamtaylor5193he restrung the guitar. He didn’t play the strings upside down lol
@ballsballsballs3617 Yes. And no, he didn't "re-string" the guitar because there are pictures of him playing the right-handed guitar upside down, as well as interviews with musicians who knew him who attested to that fact!! Word is he initially started playing that way because they were too poor to afford a second guitar. In fact, legend has it that he even tried to create a "diddly bow" the way the legend Robert Johnson did by nailing a string to the side of a shack, and using a glass bottle tucked in between as the bridge.
Thanks for making this video brother. You must love Jimi as much as I do...
You bet I do! 😉
@@wellhidden6931 Wow really? I didn't know that...
I flipped the picture on purpose because the thumbnail looks better that way. I'm sure Jimi would be ok with that. I'm not gonna fix it for you
Beloved Jimi Hendrix, blessed our lives.
He just completely played his heart and soul.
Like everyone I'm so grateful 🙏 for his time on this earth 🌎.
Thank you Jimi.
I don't like Jimi because while learning how to play I was instantaneously demotivated seeing this guy play with such sophistication in which he did so simplistically.
First time I heard Jimi Hendrix was in 1969..I was 12 and I was living in Germany listening to Armed Forces Radio.
It was his version of The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock and I was poleaxed. Real shivers there.
Since the first time I heard Jimi at the age of 7 in 1969 he has been my favorite guitar player. Loved this video.
Jimi stands alone! No one comes close.
No. Jimi is my favorite guitarist but the idea that nobody ever approached him in greatness just isn't true.
@@user-qb1sm3rk9rNobody will be Jimi he's right. Anyone can copy sht with endless practice that doesn't make you Jimi or have the soul. if it wasn't for him there'd be no heavy anything. You're not a musician you don't have the right to comment
Seemingly true! Objective they say!!❤ 🌎
Never approached in greatness 💯 Yeah😅 🇬🇧 💷 🇬🇧 💷
@@m42037Absolutely correct though the so called argument commences!!😅
Jimi is a rock star, the greatest of all
And he was only playing guitar for 12 years. I still can not believe that.
Jimi was not from earth he landed here from a short time changed the world and then he split back to his planet.. I must say I did get to that planet for a minute. What a great minute in my life.. Sometimes I go back there...Sometimes....
A pure genius. Period. They come around once or twice a generation.
RR is one
Jimi was it. The only one. Mind blowingly wonderful. No-one can touch him
He was not a guitar player, he was a steel string violinist and his fingers were the bows.
Absolutely right know one sounds

@@averychilco Whatever 🤡
bullshit, stevie was technically good and a great cover artist, but not original at all like hendrix, stevie was derivative @@jameskleiner2715
Very humbled to hear Masters talk about a legend.
Jimmy Page should have said something in that 1971 interview ...(Robert plant was only the lead singer in Led Zeppelin...he was not a musician) they should've included a separate interview with Jimmy Page talking about jimi hendrix in this.
@@marynovak5800A vocalist is a musician. Robert Plant was undeniably a musician.
Hendix was one of a kind, full stop ! No more words needed. Whatever you needed to hear, is all in his music. Grab some time, put on your headphones, shut the door & travel. What a great homage to Jimi.
Musicians discussing Hendrix is so academic; just like hearing a lecture on the many moods of John Keats when he wrote his celebrated odes . The outpouring homages to the god of the guitar from the world's most celebrated guitarists is just pure amazing and breathtaking.
I cried for days, weeks, and ultimately years over his tragic death.
Now you make me cry
I remember I got off a bus in Beverly Hills & was transferring to another bus in Hollywood. I was a white teenage girl & a much older black man walked up to me in the street & hugged me & said, "Jimi died". I was incredibly shocked. I had seen him play live many times & absolutely could not believe it.
His tragic murder…
I felt that one.
@@QuinnJACKSON-zx1dx I miss him right now. I don’t expect that’ll change.
There will never be another ….that’s for sure….unparalleled, unequalled and untouchable.
I loved his earthy voice too...
Joe Satriani almost did the impossible and explained some of Hendrix's magic and John Frusciante explained what feelings many of us were feeling when listening to him.
John Petrucci رو یادت رفت بگی
The best,no one plays like Jimi,lot of people on utube who watch him are amazed by the theatrics, don't think they realize how good of an guitar player he was,it's why I leave comments of his best guitar work!
To me, his death was the worst loss in Rock History. What could he have created in the seventies? So many incredible records we won't ever be able to enjoy.
His murder you mean.
He would have made the best instrumentals known to mankind
Unlimited Material Imagine
Breaks my heart to think of what other magic jimi would have put into the universe had he lived
@@cabbuccino5558 Murdered By the CUNT Mike Jeffries and Thugs.
Fantastic compilation. This will get a lot of views, well deserved!
thank you!
Thank You Jimi!
Hendrix, wah wah pedal, Electric Ladyland . I had never experienced anyone talk with their guitar until that rainy day dreamed away. Voo Doo Child blew this 11 year old mind. I still vividly remember where I was. Jimi seemed like he was from another solar system. It always made me wonder about his song Angel and how he was soon gone
He is a masterpiece 😊
it's just extraordinary,that TV programme in 1990 said that "twenty years ago,Jimi Hendrix died.he was 27.he is still seen as the most influential rock guitarist of the last thirty years."that is just absolutely extraordinary.eddie van halen alone is an institution.prince is a musical icon and phenomenon.all the world's heavy rock and heavy metal guitarist,classical guitar players.steve vai.rhandy Rhoades.tony iomi.all those millions of other guitarists!it's just extraordinary!
This is a fantastic compilation of guitarists reacting to Jimmi's genius.
Jimi not Jimmi
This is bloody great. Thank you for compiling these. John McLaughlin no less.
Right handed guitar, playing left handed, upside down!? Holy crap, I knew he was left handed, but I’ve never heard of THAT! Amazing. I was fortunate enough to visit him at his final resting place in Seattle 2 years ago. R.I.P. Jimi 🙏✨
Not upside down tho...it was strung normal
@@castlemagic4746still strings stretched to different lengths. Theres a scientific done article in popular Machanics on why his guitar sounded different besides his playing.
@@tomslick2058 nope.
I grew up listening to Hendrix. My friends and I knew that he was incredible but we did not know that other guitar players were blown away by him. He was not a bad composer either.
I was born in 71 and my God his my number guy I love his music and listen to everything jimmy to those who saw him talk to him played with him that just a wonderful God gift am happy to hear his story's thank you guys thank you all
no one comes Close, no one can touch him musically creatively and his death leaves a major empty space on this planet
Great stuff, I was a kid back then, with a Motorola hi-fi , my albums were dear to me! What a great time to be alive then , the flood of rock and soul was comfort!!!❤❤❤😊
Escucho a Jimi en 2023 y se escucha una música del futuro, como un una energía que viaje a través del tiempo y el espacio
Bien dicho
Crazy how different Frusciante sounds when he was young, and before all the drugs.
Tears came to Eric Clapton's eyes when he couldn't get to give Jimi the left hand guitar. ❤❤
@@anothercanadian1266 Clapton was obsessed with Robert Johnson in the 60's and he have black musicians in his band. I find it more odd to hear him saying something racist.
????????
I don't believe Clapton is a racist.
Hendrix opening w Sgt Pepper 2 days after the album release in front of Paul, Eric & Pete. OMG
Love this! Thanks for compiling all of this. This is a great service. Thanks!
the interview with Clapton was amazing! Jimmy Hendrix is a guitar God!
That 'star spangle banner' during woodstock69..i hear a warzone in his music...master of feedback...awesome guitar playing..❤
Machine Gun
Classic footage👌🏽! Thank you for sharing 🙌🏽 🙏🏽😊!
Jimi - in retrospect. In the early 60's, I was invited to a dance put on by my friend's mom's church at the Audubon ballroom in Harlem. It had kids running around, a shake dancer and a blues band with a young guitarist, whose name I never got, but who I thought was great. He looked about 17 yrs old, but he was killing those blues. He was even playing, "Night Train" behind the shake dancer. lol
He was doing all those tricks: playing with his teeth, playing behind his head, etc. There wasn't that much distortion, just a typical blues sound. I thought he sounded great, especially for a band at a church dance.
It was years later, when I realized that it was Jimi Hendrix. He had blossomed into a monster player...
At least I saw him, even if I had no idea who he would be...
I thought you were going to say that it was Marty McFly
Even Lou Reed is respectful of Jimi, which is a unique thing. My favorite band is the Beatles for their songs and Jimi as the best musician. These two made Zeppelin possible. Perfect no filler LPs played by musicians inspired by Jimi's perfect musicianship. Funny how George Clinton reminds me so much of Jerry Garcia. A hippie grandad of fun and togetherness!
Why is it unique that Lou Reed respected Hendrix?
Because he rarely had good things to say about ANYBODY! @@titangoodson1064
@@titangoodson1064because lou reed always says stuff to be a contrarian or controversial. His interviews normally consist of him saying something and contradicting himself 5mins later or just being disrespectful to the interviewer. It’s funny to watch
The combo of Jimi and Mitch Mitchel on traps, sealed the deal for me as a young drummer. Jimi's picture hangs next to my Katana collection. They compliment each other as they are eerily similar in nature. Beautiful, dangerous and command respect. They also can snap if used with the wrong force, i.e., the leeches of the music business. R.I.P., I'm still a little mad at you for leaving so soon. What could have been if he'd gone full "prog' as he was ready to do? Ooof!
This is the best!!!!! Thank you so much for putting this together!!!!😎👍👍✌️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸
OUR. GREAT. GRANDS. WILL. BE. LISTENING. TO. JIMI. FOR. DECADES. TO
COME. 🎵🎵🎵
Thank you for making this my dude. It's special
WTF was John Mayer talking about ? No one will ever or has ever confused him with Jimi Hendrix.
I have no confusion about the fact that Hendrix was an innovative genius and Mayer is a nobody.
Said he wanted to be like Jimi except the dead at 27 part.
@@nakim55 Mayer is a nobody? If you really think that you're not a musician or you are not objective.
WTF are you talking about? You’re literally hearing things 😂
That's why I can't stand John Mayer.😊
It went in me through my ears and never came out.
Thanks for this video! Warmed my heart.
Jimi as a solo artist opening shows for the Monkees back in '67 blows my mind (hehe).
I thank God for the Monkees Givin him exposure. Had to come from somewhere
Jimi played guitar for many popular bands in the 50s...the Isley Brothers bused him to stay with them, when he was broke and bought him his 64 Stratocaster ..Little Richard said ..he was a star when I got him... Hendrix said. .he quit because Richard never payed him .He quit the monkeys tour in 67 because he was booed by monkey teeny booper fans . .even Stills was rejected as one of the monkeys by the producers.and he recommended Peter Tork who was a good musician , who also bought Crosby's sailboat for him ... Jimi finally found his audience and only lasted 5 short years ..but he accomplished a lot..musically.in that time
thank you for this!
He lit his guitar on fire in my soul! ❤🎉❤
You unforgivably missed out Stephen Stills, who produced the only rock album in history with Hendrix and Clapton together (plus Sebastian, Crosby, Nash, Coolidge, „Mama“ Cass and even Ringo Starr on it).
What's the name of the album?
@@os75 They did not perform together. Stills' album is the only album to which both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix supplied guitar work. Stills brought in Eric Clapton on “Go Back Home” and Jimi Hendrix on “Old Times Good Times” along with other big-name friends. It was his first album.
Stills, sitting playing guitar in a snowy scene is the cover. Love The One You’re With on it.
@@hannesstuber222Hendrix and Stills played together at Electric Ladyland and Hendrix offered to play bass on Stills solo album in 1970 before he died ..he was under contact to Chazz , but appeared as James (Marshall)..his middle name on the album.
Many more .. including Stills future band Manassas .and Rita Coolidge who he was dating ,. also Nash's girlfriend
I saw Jimi Hendrix play, summer 1969. The place was an acoustic barn. It was not like anything, as great as it was, I ever heard recorded, or a video of him. The sound had separation, clear and covered the range. At one point during Voodoo Child, he put up a wall of sound, it felt like the bass was rolling up from the floor. Not only was it the oddest combination, of 6 or 7 sounds, but you would think, he was flipping switches to produce it. To compare him to these great guitar players, is really not the question. There was nothing to compare him to.
Hendrix and Neil Young were late to appear at Woodstock...so together they hit wired a pickup truck to get there on time ..Neil played with the Buffalo Springfield..reunion.with Stills
I remember feeling just like Satriani, Jimi wasn't learning the theory he was creating it.
These accounts are truly fascinating especially Joe Walsh's account of Jimi being that I saw with the James Gang at the Syracuse War Memorial & many years later I met at Guitar Center on all days being my birthday & until now never knew that he knew Jimi & I've to say this is why I'm still playing now. The things that you learn in life & 1 more thing I got to meet the late Noel Redding in NYC as well. Much love & thanks for this.
John Frusciante's rant on hendrix was more greater than anything I'd would've thought of. So we'll spoken...I think it was even better than Claptons emotional story. John is Such a perfect soul and perfect guitar player. That's why he's my favorite.
Frusciante style is straight from Hendrix, and for that reason I love him
Oh my God, John Mayer. This is probably one of the clips he wishes he could remove permanently. CRINGE
Amazing compilation.
Lou Reed nailed the industry dark side of what Jimi was dealing with. And it was even darker than that. Do you really think he drank that much wine with sleeping pills? Jeffery was tied with the mob. They drowned him with wine, old mob trick. Now people he's not even related to by blood own his entire financial legacy. But ONLY the financial legacy. The music will live on for eternity. It will be forever preserved. And bless Eddie Kramer for releasing the tracks he still had in his own way. He knew how Jimi would've wanted it to sound, at least with what he had to work with. People Hell and Angels is such an appropriate name for that album, all things considered about Jimi's life and the end of his life.
yes he did, it is well known that he was into uppers and downers in 1970 on a daily basis... look at the autospy , there was NO ALCOHOL IN HIS BLOOD pls stop spreading those liese
I love his voice too.
He was a hero who came and went to soon
Well . . . wow! So many kind and wonderful things said about Jimi. It's really so great to have listened to all of you. Hey! Thanks for putting this out here for all of us. Oh man--- the stories. When I was a kid, my eldest sister knew Jimi, Janis and Jim M. They were really great friends. We lived in SD at the time. Well my sis went to Monterey as-well Woodstock. She was a concert and music lover. She was Model gorgeous just like my next elder sister. I saw a utube video where Jimi mentioned my sis saying, "This one's for Eva" *smiles!* A name she went by, but it was short for, "Cheryl Eva" her first and middle name. Anywho--- at home most of the family referred to her as "C.E", but for me it was just "Cheryl." :--)) She brought home to me, two guitars from Jimi. One from Woodstock (A White Fender Strat) and one from his stache of many. It was maple dark fading to blonde. Both had the strings upsidedown to me, I played as a righty not a lefty. I flipped the strings on the Whitey so I could play and my friend David wanted to play badly... he begged me for thee other cuz it was a lefty like him. So I sold it to him for 15 dollars. LOL I had NO IDEA who Jimi was or would be. Ahh well David enjoyed it while he had it. He gave it away during moves and my Whitey from Woodstock was stolen. No idea where it got to... possibly ended up at Paul Allen's Hendrix Musuem here in Seattle. I'd know if I saw it I think.
Anywho... when I played, which I never took or had lessens, I just played by ear man... it was about the sounds (If that makes sense?) and I loved messing with feedback. There was something about it and guitars. Thee awesome strange sounds I could make from them. Not sure how to explain that one, but one day I was at a friends house... they were practicing for their next gig in Seattle. They were a great cover band. We were down in the basement where the walls had sound barriers on them so they could play loudly without offending the neighbors. This other dude was there. Long haired... kinda hippy looking dude. He was on his knees just outside of the door, listening to the music with a flat piece of wood on his knees and he was rolling a joint. LOL and rocking back and fourth to the music they were playing. Suddenly, he gets up, walks into where they're playing and picks up a guitar and starts playing. Holy crap could this dude play! I was amazed at this dude's talent. They all went upstairs to get food and whatever... I stayed asking Mike if I could play his guitar while they were on break. "Sure he said... go for it man!" And so.. after they headed up stairs I started messing with the guitar and getting those bitchen sounds. I'd warm up and start making them and I'd be GONE. Not literally but mentally no longer present. Playing just took me some place. Some place. And then the sounds would just flow from me and that guitar and suddenly... from my left appears THAT dude! I about jumped out of my skin. I'm like, "Woah dude... Jesus you gave me a start!" He apologized sincerely and asked me... "How did you make that sound?" Not knowing what I was doing... I had no notes or chords etc... I could tell him. I had no idea what he was after? I apologized saying, "Sorry man I don't know what you mean." He said again, "THAT sound you were making just then man! What was it... how were you making it?" I had no answer for him. So he accepted my density and headed away. I started playing again after a few minutes went by. And POOF there he was again over my shoulder and looking at my hands on the guitar. He said, "THERE IT WAS man! Do it again please." Well, I couldn't because I really didn't understand what he wanted to hear. I was embarrassed for not having an answer for him. He walked away and back upstairs. I stopped and headed up stairs too. G
I got to the short hallway next to the kitchen and saw Jill in there making some food. Dennis, Carl, Mike and that other dude were in the living room talking and having fun it seemed. I went to turn toward the living room entry and was startled once again by that dude. He had come over to where I was to have words with me... passionately. He said these words to me (Which I'll never forget), "Hey man, let me know IF you ever decide to GET SERIOUS about playing guitar will ya!...'?'" I was like, What is THAT supposed to mean? So I asked him, "I'm sorry, what do you mean by that?" He replied instantly and with serious eyes piercing mine, "Because THAT IS WHEN--- I'm going to quit." I thought I'd somehow offended him. So again, I stood there not knowing what to say and feeling really embarrassed. He walked away back into the living room. Our mutual friend Mike, came right to me and asked, "Hey man, what's wrong?" I told him, "I think I upset that dude somehow. He quried me, "Why> What did he say to me?" I told him and he suddenly flushed saying, "OMG dude! Do you know WHAT A COMPLEMENT that is from him??? Do you even know WHO he is?" I said, "No! I have no idea, he's you guys' friend. New to me!." He *Smiled!* and told me . . .
THAT is . . . Randy Hansen. One of the best guitar players and Jimi Hendrix impersonators around. He gave you a huge complement man. He's saying, "He sees SEVERE TALENT in you. ENough to place intimidation into his bones man. Did he hear you playing down in the basement?" "Yeah he did and he wanted me to tell him how I made some sound as I was playing, which I had no clue what he was talking about. You know me... I don't know the tech side of playing," He agreed knowing ne as he did. And that was thee end of the conversation and I at least felt better realizing I had not actually offended Randy.
I can GET SOUNDS, I can MAKE them come out of the guitar. I just don't know how or why I can.
Randy offered later on that, "There were only two people in the world he knew of that could make such sounds out of a guitar without pedals etc.... Jimi Hendrix and you -me-"
I didn't know what to say so I just smiled and replied, :How cool thanks man."
That's my story from way back when. Saw Randy Hansen play at the Paramount in Seattle. I was STUNNED, He had a full on show dedicated to Jimi Hendrix. He even looked like him with his dark paint on his face to make him look like a black dude. I always aid after that night... "Randy is the White Hendrix reborn!* Check him out... I think there are videos of him performing on utube. Randy Hansen! *Cheers mates!*
This was great, thanks..now I've gotta go listen to 3rd Stone From the Sun...
Really enjoyed all of this, especially the honest take from Pete Townsend.
Jimi was from the future and the past, he was plugged into the ether.
When it comes to Zappa mentioning if Hendrix could have hooked up with a trained music guy reminds of George Martin the genius behind The Beatles.
Amazing doco, thanks
Enjoyed Joe Satriani's comments...similar experience, I'd been playing a while, into Chicago blues, Bloomfield, Muddy...etc. "Are You Experienced" was so new and out there yet I could clearly hear the blues, the intro to Hey Joe... yeah! I recognize that. Amazing times when "the real" was highly valued. Now it's plastic/processed. Kudos to the singer songwriters keeping music alive.
Check out the jam of ( Pali Gap).... Hendrix very bluesy ,genius instrumental. .it has a hint of Jazz in it ...this would have been the direction he was going in before he died .
Jimi was a spirit! Period
Was fortunate to see Jimi on Sunday at the June ‘69 Jazz/Pop festival at Devonshire Downs in Northridge CA. 2 months before Woodstock
He Could Have been with him at Woodstock ...if he didn't make excuses, like dozens of other bands that were told it wasn't going to be a very big deal and that they probably wouldn't get payed ..but .they would have been immortalize in the Woodstock film..
You know a person is great -- when people that knew them still talk about them. JIMI was a shooting star for real .We are so grateful that enough footage and tracks were recorded that we know that such a person really existed.His music was so unreal.
There is a story behind the band of gypsies at the Fillmore performance. There were two shows that night. In the early show Jimmy went out on stage and did his usual show with all the tricks and a lot of showmanship.
When he came off stage Bill Graham asked Hendrix if he couldn’t just play without any of the tricks or over the top showmanship Graham that him he couldn’t do it.
Jimmy just gave him a look. As you see in the film Jimmy stands almost stock still for the whole performance but plays fortunately for us one of the most fantastic musical performances ever recorded.
It’s reported that Jimmy walked off stage and stuck his tongue out at Bill Graham. For an encore he went back on stage and proceeded to give an amazing showmanship performance and every trick in his book.🎸
Eric Clapton right up with Jimi master guitar players
Most of these guys expressed their understanding of the unique talent - I'd be willing to bet some of the others were embarrassed to hear what they had to say back then. Overall - enjoyable interviews, thanks.
It was a time that if we all together...We ruled the world through music. It was beautiful...
Jimi seemed able too bring Light & Color outta the Guitar
Humble genius we miss u.

JIMI!! Ya Shook up the WORLD 🌎 You Shook up the WORLD Man!! WE ALL LOVE YA!! ❤💜🎵💕💜😇🎶🎼🎵🎸☮️💫🌠
Hendrix could play lead guitar 🎸 and sing at the same time!not many musicians can do this
Never considered this, but this is the most truth of any comment. Only thing rivaled his guitar playining was his song writing.
He could sing, and play lead and rhythm at the same time 🤯 👍🏼 genius 😊
Which is very technical.
50 plus years later and they’re still trying to crack the code.
EH
The code is simple. Start young, learn tunes by ear, play live as much as you can.
There's no code, just individuals

1) be unbelievably talented
I think it’s just something you have to go through in your own way to understand where he’s was coming from you always kind learn this stuff for me years later this is a awesome vid I love the take 😢 on the bro from hot chilli peppers
As Buddy Miles once said. "As far as I'm concerned, the last living musician was my man, Jimi Hendrix."
Best guitar player all times
