He explained in an old interview that when he wanted to learn how to play left-hand guitars were very rare and extremely expensive. Far outside what he could afford. So he said he bought a used righty and "improvesed". Damn good job I'd say!
If you want more of Jimi, I'll tell you the HIDDEN GEM of the rock world, Jimi's magnum opus: "Machine Gun - Live at the Filmore East in 1970". It is the single greatest live audio of the greatest guitarist who's ever lived. Yes, that's a big statement. Yes, it's that good. No, you will not be disappointed.
The problem is that Janie Hendrix blocks all the stuff she owns, so very little of what you suggested is able to be found on youtube. Such a shame too, makes Jimi be excluded from all these younger people being able to discover him. There is some stuff on youtube, but some of it is just a bad night or quick tv appearance or whatever, so the problem is even worse since most of what is on here is not his best.
I personally find it amazing that people of this generation, regardless of musical genre preference, do not know of/heard of Jimi Hendrix. Dude transcends genres and paved the way for a lot of modern music. I cant think of an artist or band that has not been touched by Hendrix. A God in the music industry.
I saw Jimi play live several times, and I met him in 1968. He was everything they say! His performances were visceral and spiritual at the same time. He changed the electric guitar forever. For Black kids into Rock music, he was our great idol, but he transcended race and genre. He was a musical prophet!
How in the hell can you NOT know who Jimi Hendrix (RIP💜) the best guitarist in the world is/was⁉️ He is truly amazing and plays left handed. Wait until you see him play the guitar behind his back and with his teeth. You need to feel "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" 🎸🎸🎸 I have never heard a bad song from him. However, his live performances don't show his vocals as well as the studio version but shows him as a performer and GUITAR GOD. A few of my favorites: 🎶Hey Joe 🎶All Along The Watchtower 🎶Foxy Lady 🎶Voodoo Child
Hendrix is easily one of the best guitarists ever next to Stevie Ray Vaughan, sadly both left us at a young age. You check out All Along The Watchtower by Jimi, and both Hendrix & SRV do great versions of Voodoo Chile and Little Wing. Check out live versions.
I mean at this point in history and how far we have come in rock n' roll its really hard to reinvent the guitar like these guys did or even Jimmy page. They were on a whole différent world
@M 40 Agreed, SRV is great the only guitarist other than Hendrix who can own a Hendrix track, but for me his best work is his Hendrix covers, so Hendrix is ahead on originality, he created startling new music and his guitar playing just looks and sounds so intuitive.
Have a look at (also RIP) UK guitarist Gary Moore and his version of Hendrix''s 'Red House' at the Montreaux Festival. And his other blues stuff. He's at least on a par with Hendrix and SRV. At least.
"When I first saw Eric Clapton, I thought 'ah, here's a master guitar player', but Eric was a guitar player. Jimi was some sort of force of nature" -- Jack Bruce, bassist for Cream. What I consider to be his absolute best has no video, just sound. Close your eyes and watch your jaw hitting the floor. Jimi Hendrix playing "Driving South" on BBC-1 radio: vimeo.com/204320283. My mind literally cannot process this.
"Purple Haze" was the name of a popular, LSD (drug) back in the day. "Whatever it is, that girl, put a spell on me": She gave him Purple Haze and he was trippin', like she put a spell on him.
Jimi was a phenomenal performer because he was one of the best musicians who ever lived. Wholly original, imaginative and awesomely accomplished--the likes of which we're not likely to see again.
Everything Jimi did is twice as impressive because he pioneered a lot of this hard rock distorted stuff, he wasn't standing on the shoulders of giants, he was the giant.
Jimis my favorite musician please please do more of him. Id really like to see your reaction to the song are you experienced. That shit blew my mind the first time i heard it.
R.I.P. to one of the greatest guitarists and musicians of all time 🤘🤘🤘🤘 in honor LayedBak, you should check out “Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower” this one goes crazy!!!
The feedback at the end is all Hendrix. I've never seen a live performer do that or be able to control it like he does or did I should say. I play the guitar today because of Hendrix, I first heard him when I was about 10 or 12 years old and have never gotten over it. He is still a master the Stratocaster
As far as his guitar work goes, Hendrix was one of those guys who was just so damn good that he'd just start fucking around with it for fun and not miss a beat
Your face when the guitar music is so epic you can’t deal 😂 it’s my absolute favourite. More of that please 😆 he could also play the guitar behind is head. You’ll blow your mind watching that video
Playing guitar bombs in the sixties. This guitar sound just was unknown then. When u heard Jimi play a new song, it felt like u were taking a peek into the future of music. What a journey it was for all of us. It was real clear his talent was on some other level. I still miss him.
You ran into one of rocks icons. I was a teen when Jimi hit it big with music like this. I'm part of a lucky generation because so much great music was made back then.
Imagine listening to this while smoking weed or doing some quality LSD back in the day (your grandparents lol). The studio version was really well done also.
This festival was huge. Hendrix went on at 12 midnight , and he played the Star Spangled Banner while fireworks were flying shooting up in the air. It was the 4th of July .
Jimi Hendrix was an absolute titan among men. Considered by many to be the greatest rock guitarist in human history, his career was tragically short as he died at the young age of 27 years old. But even in the few years he was active, he influenced the entire world of music. He defied all the odds while doing it too. He was a Black dude performing at a time when there was still a lot of stigma about it. He was left handed at a time when guitars were only made for playing right, and so he played his guitar upside down with his left hand. He shocked the world in the best way possible.
You are on the right track brother...keep on doing Jimi Hendrix and bringing it to THOSE who do not know but will find out so they can become EXPERIENCED!!!!!
Nah bro he has the low E string up top and High E down. So he is playing it the normal way for lefty guitarist just he is playing the guitar that Right handed players play.
Today I'm an old fart 57 year old guitarist. Since the age of 9 Jimi's music has been my passion, my goal to strive for. What made Jimi was not so much his technical ability but his creative talent. Jimi was humble, watch some of the old interviews with him (Merv Giffin show is a good one) and it'll become apparent how humble he was. Back when Jimi was alive there were Jazz guitarists and classical guitarists who had skill levels that far exceeded Jimi's and Jimi was quick to point that out. Nobody in rock/blues music was doing what Jimi was doing, and those who approached what he was doing couldn't achieve what Jimi achieved. I grew up a couple hundred miles from where Jimi is buried (Renton Wa.) and I've been to his grave a couple times, it's a sad place for me. Stevie Ray Vaughn loved Jimi and you can hear it all over his music. Stevie Ray did what Jimi did: he took what he learned from his influences, added himself to it, and then took it all a step further. I live near New Orleans and so I can go to the city and hear people following their influences and honing their skills every night. As an old fart I love to hear a person flip out when they first hear what I've loved for almost 50 years. Music can bond us all together.
It is hard to play an instrument and sing, it’s even harder when you realize boss here plays lefty flip haha, he learned to play the guitar, essentially upside down. Jimi’s one of the coolest figures of his time.🤙
'He make it look so easy'. Yep. He's untouchable. Always will be. Jimi's not just the greatest guitarist of all time, he's one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. Music simply flew out of him, and he did more in three years than the rest of popular music did in the following thirty.
SRV was amazing, but nah, Hendrix was the G.O.A.T. Period. His creativity, along with the songs he wrote on his own make him the best ever. He created the path that Stevie would follow. SRV himself would have told you that, he said it many times in interviews.
The fact that he had to flip his strings on a guitar so he could play left handed, the way he just leans on his whammy bar to create that sound and makes it all look so effortless, this is without a doubt one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and you haven’t even seen the vid of him playing guitar with his teeth yet, you’re in for a treat with Jimi Hendrix. I recommend all along the watch tower next
Jimi was crazy man, he played a right handed guitar that was turned upside down and had inverted strings. Then played left handed. He shaped the electric guitar to be what it is, with all those affects and just having the feel of the guitar, truly was the greatest
Alex Sava it’s titled in a way where it sounds more like he’s never heard a rock song before. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy his reactions just not the click bait titles.
4:25 😄👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Jimi Hendrix was an innovator.. He will forever have the greatest admiration and respect from anybody in the rock community or anybody who's ever played guitar seriously. He left a lasting impression on the world, he is a Legend with a capitol L.
If you weren't Experienced before, you certainly are now welcome to the Jimi Hendrix Experience . Jimi R.I.P 😢 in my opinion was and will forever be the GOAT guitarist 🎸 ever. That wasn't just a guitar he was holding that was his lady and together sweet music they did make . Jimi's charisma , sexuality which he had in abundance and natural born musical talent made him the phenomenal performer he was , sadly he passed at such a young age and was just starting to get get the recognition he deserved we are very lucky though that he left us the gift of his music 🎸🎤✌💕
He was briefly in a band named “Band of Gypsies”. It’s a three piece band (guitar, bass, drums) with Jimi and the drummer (Buddy Miles) on vocals. Hands down THE best live Hendrix… ever….
HaHa! The first time i saw him was at the Fillmore SF...didn't know he was black...thought the band was from England...there was this tall black guy walking the floor with his hat upside down in his hand, passing out purple tabs...WTH, I thought, as was the fashion at the time. 20 minutes later, peaking, I saw him on stage. I got Experienced! He had a "joint" made out of flash paper, so when he lit it, and pretended to hit it, it burned all the way down in a second...then he launched into the first song, Purple Haze, which was what he passed out. A magic moment in show biz. I feel blessed.
Jimmie Hendrix was the greatest of them all. He was the first left handid guitarist. If you look at him on stage, look at his guitar,...he played it upside down and he stringed the guitar up backwards.
When Hendrix came on the scene, it was him and somewhere down the line was everone else, including Clapton, Page, B.B. King; EVERYONE! and they knew it, bowing to the one and only. R.I.P. Check out his Song, "Poligap." Rainbow Bridge album. 🤗🤗 from a sixties child. Rock on!
🔥I DARE YOU SHARE THIS 🔥What should be my next Rock and Roll 🎸/ Metal/ Country reaction🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ Drop it 👇🏽👇🏽
LayedBakDFR you should totally do One by Metallica!!
SLIPKNOT ORPHAN! (Attempt #1)
End of a heartache by Killswitch engaged please
FIRE FROM THE GODS -EXCUSE ME
Please man, you would dig it I think
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Try Foxy Lady live .
Hard to play and perform simultaneously? Try this on for size. Did you notice he's left-handed playing a right-handed guitar backwards?
Brooo WHAAAAAAAAT‼️
That was one of my favorite things about him!
@@LayedBakDFR that's why his guitar looked like it did lol.
He explained in an old interview that when he wanted to learn how to play left-hand guitars were very rare and extremely expensive. Far outside what he could afford. So he said he bought a used righty and "improvesed". Damn good job I'd say!
It was a right handed guitar strung upside down because he was left handed
Jimi Hendrix is the reason why the electric guitar was invented: simply so he could play it.
God bless
So trueeee
He's the reason electricity was invented 😅
R.I.P Jimi Hendrix the greatest guitarist of all time no contest.
Yes there is
Maybe of his time, things evolve, people always get surpassed.
I heard that the greatest one was santana
Jimmy Page has entered the chat *
SRV could jam with Jimi and they’d both say the other won, no doubt
For pure jimi craziness the star spangled banner from Woodstock is a must.
Scott Anderson bruh the solo where he plays with his mouth tho
Yeah this would be awesome to watch him see!
Just saw that on Netflix dude everyone from my generation needs to see that
Personally I think the one from Monterey Pop Festival is better.
Machine Gun is the most complex and beat Hendrix performance.. Check it out
If you want more of Jimi, I'll tell you the HIDDEN GEM of the rock world, Jimi's magnum opus: "Machine Gun - Live at the Filmore East in 1970". It is the single greatest live audio of the greatest guitarist who's ever lived.
Yes, that's a big statement. Yes, it's that good. No, you will not be disappointed.
@keastin2814 Machine Gun at Copenhagen 1970 September
I 100% agree. The emotional integrity of that performance to this day is still unmatched. Absolutely wrenching guitar playing.
Amén!!!!!
Kind of sad that it was his last New Years Eve....
More Hendrix? "All Along the Watch Tower" is a must as well as "Hey Joe" and "Foxy Lady".
Don't forget "wind cries Mary" and "little wing."
The problem is that Janie Hendrix blocks all the stuff she owns, so very little of what you suggested is able to be found on youtube. Such a shame too, makes Jimi be excluded from all these younger people being able to discover him. There is some stuff on youtube, but some of it is just a bad night or quick tv appearance or whatever, so the problem is even worse since most of what is on here is not his best.
AND don't forget "Are you Experienced" and his fantastic cover of "Johnny B Goode"
Red house
Voodoo Child is my favorite song from Jimi Hendrix so that's my recommendation for ya for next time.
Roel Rodriguez I prefer Little Wing or Hey Joe to it
Shashank Iyer both are amazing but I’m just in love with the opening riffs to voodoo child.
I'd like to see him do a double feature - Voodoo Child by Hendrix and then SRV - both live, of course.
I'm a basic bitch. Beyond the watchtower is mine
Orrrrrr foxey lady
I personally find it amazing that people of this generation, regardless of musical genre preference, do not know of/heard of Jimi Hendrix. Dude transcends genres and paved the way for a lot of modern music. I cant think of an artist or band that has not been touched by Hendrix. A God in the music industry.
He's just unquestionably the GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL TIME!
He was also preforming while taking large doses of LSD he is the GOAT on a guitar!
I saw Jimi play live several times, and I met him in 1968. He was everything they say! His performances were visceral and spiritual at the same time. He changed the electric guitar forever. For Black kids into Rock music, he was our great idol, but he transcended race and genre. He was a musical prophet!
You should react to Hendrix playing the guitar with his teeth, its insane
@ReneidKlein yes Haha, Hendrix was in a league of his own
Just to remind you, this was recorded in the 60's. He's that ahead of his time.
All along the watch tower!
How in the hell can you NOT know who Jimi Hendrix (RIP💜) the best guitarist in the world is/was⁉️ He is truly amazing and plays left handed. Wait until you see him play the guitar behind his back and with his teeth. You need to feel "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" 🎸🎸🎸

A few of my favorites:
🎶Hey Joe
🎶All Along The Watchtower
🎶Foxy Lady
🎶Voodoo Child
You dropped this "🎶Little Wing".
This man is the best thing to happen to rock in terms of guitarists. His inspiration was unfathomed.
Playing that right hand guitar, upside down, re-stringed, so damn badass.
He didn't need to restring it. - th-cam.com/video/zfq4j2jm7vM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iFd760eedHI51s-4
Now you see why he scared every Rock band alive at the time! He was way ahead of everybody!
Hendrix is easily one of the best guitarists ever next to Stevie Ray Vaughan, sadly both left us at a young age.

Gotta include Chuck Berry and Prince too
Have a look at (also RIP) UK guitarist Gary Moore and his version of Hendrix''s 'Red House' at the Montreaux Festival. And his other blues stuff. He's at least on a par with Hendrix and SRV. At least.
You know Hendrix is a genius when the creator of the original All Along the Watchtower, Bob Dylan, says that it’s Hendrix’s song now.
Gotta check out Jimi Hendrix playing Hey Joe live, that man was just out of this world with his performance
Hendrix is the greatest of all time. Bar none. All that skill and talent plus he was on more acid then we can really comprehend.
"When I first saw Eric Clapton, I thought 'ah, here's a master guitar player', but Eric was a guitar player. Jimi was some sort of force of nature" -- Jack Bruce, bassist for Cream.

Jimi Hendrix is awesome. Did some really innovative things on guitar that have and continue to shape the way guitar is played. The man was prolific 🤘🎸
"Purple Haze" was the name of a popular, LSD (drug) back in the day. "Whatever it is, that girl, put a spell on me": She gave him Purple Haze and he was trippin', like she put a spell on him.
Mescaline, actually.

ONCE IN A WHILE GOD REMINDS US HEs REAL WITH A PERFORMER, OR ATHLETE OR HUMANITARIAN. THIS IS A GOD GIVEN CREATION.
Jimi has an entire generation saying "I ain't never seen!"
Wish you would do more Jimi (unfortunately much of his stuff gets blocked)
He the greatest out of them all. NOBODY was playing the guitar that way with that type of sound UNTIL Jimi Hendrix. Fact 💯
Hendrix is literally the greatest guitarist to ever live.
Bruh facts!
No one can reasonably tell me otherwise.
Facts
Thanks for this he is my all time favorite guitarist of all time!
How the hell haven't you heard jimi Hendrix that's sacriligous as a fan of music Jk
Jimi hendrix was on that Ling Ling practice schedule train
Too busy listening to rap garbage which these days 99 percent of it is.Not his fault,just what he has been fed in his lifetime.
Gotta agree with you bro!
relax bro it happens love seeing people open to jimi hendrix for the first time. i remember my first i listened to jimi hendrix.... WOW
@@pflynn581 99 percent? Theres alot of good new rap artists lol your just bad at finding good modern rappers

FREAKIN AWESOME

I'd love to see you react to Voodoo Child, then watch Stevie Ray Vaughan play it live in Nashville and compare them!
Yes. That would be interesting. Must be live versions only.
No comparison!! Nuff said
You ran into one of rocks icons. I was a teen when Jimi hit it big with music like this. I'm part of a lucky generation because so much great music was made back then.
Country I suggest Charlie Pride Is Anybody Going to San Antone
Rock I suggest Jimi Hindrix All Along The Watchtower
THE inspiration for ALL great rock guitarists. Thanks!
Imagine listening to this while smoking weed or doing some quality LSD back in the day (your grandparents lol). The studio version was really well done also.
This festival was huge. Hendrix went on at 12 midnight , and he played the Star Spangled Banner while fireworks were flying shooting up in the air. It was the 4th of July .

One of the best guitarist in the world! We lost him and Janis Joplin at the same time 😭
Jimi is, was and forever will be THE MAN, baby.
The GOAT!!!
Hey brother man you REALLY need to watch "Since I've been loving you live " by Led zeppelin, I swear you won't regret it
You are on the right track brother...keep on doing Jimi Hendrix and bringing it to THOSE who do not know but will find out so they can become EXPERIENCED!!!!!
The cool thing about his playing is he’s left handed but his guitar is strung right handed. So he’s literally playing it upside down
Nah bro he has the low E string up top and High E down. So he is playing it the normal way for lefty guitarist just he is playing the guitar that Right handed players play.

Gotta do Stevie Ray Vaughn now!
Eh.
@@nunyabusiness8498 wtf you commenting on a year old comment w/ some “eh” shit for? Gtfoh
I remember , as a ykid , my father pushed me to download all of Jimi's live concerts and watched them , all night long .. :D
No Autotune fake singing, no studio fake tracks, no shitty hip-hop nor crappy rap. True musicians and singers.
Hendrix Live at "Monterey Pop Festival." 1967.
He's the Best ever. So Relaxed, and so damn good.
Hey man! If you liked this please react to Stevie Ray Vaughan covering his song voodoo Chile!!
Hendrix could vibrate Mt Everest. Never heard a more beautiful sounding guitar.
If you’re going to react to Jimi Hendrix, it has to be Voodoo Child!!
'He make it look so easy'. Yep. He's untouchable. Always will be. Jimi's not just the greatest guitarist of all time, he's one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. Music simply flew out of him, and he did more in three years than the rest of popular music did in the following thirty.
Cant do Hendrix without Stevie Ray Vaughan. Hendrix is the OG goat that inspired the best of all time, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
You said it.👍
Srv was good but u can't beat the original. Had Jimi lived longer would of produced so many more good songs. The original is always the best.
SRV was amazing, but nah, Hendrix was the G.O.A.T. Period. His creativity, along with the songs he wrote on his own make him the best ever. He created the path that Stevie would follow. SRV himself would have told you that, he said it many times in interviews.

dog youve had 14+ "first" reactions to rock music, quit milking it
With that he meant first time reacting to a song or a band or smth ..not to whole rock music

Love to see first reactions to Jimi. Now you go. Not music, but a world.
Jimi played rock like a jazz musician. He was other worldly
This song was actually on the radio way back around 1966! The local radio station used this song as a back-drop for anti-glue sniffing ads.
If you weren't Experienced before, you certainly are now welcome to the Jimi Hendrix Experience . Jimi R.I.P 😢 in my opinion was and will forever be the GOAT guitarist 🎸 ever. That wasn't just a guitar he was holding that was his lady and together sweet music they did make . Jimi's charisma , sexuality which he had in abundance and natural born musical talent made him the phenomenal performer he was , sadly he passed at such a young age and was just starting to get get the recognition he deserved we are very lucky though that he left us the gift of his music 🎸🎤✌💕
not only was he clean as fuck he learned guitar left handed on a right handed guitar and still sings and slays it!!
That chemistry? Oh yeah, would throw it all away to get back there again! Keep on rockin Bro!
The man was one of Prince's biggest influences. You can see it in the way Prince played guitar and his style of dress.
He is also playing with a Right handed guitar upside down with his Left, LEGEND!
Jimi doesn't just play, he makes love to his guitar.
My favorite guitarist!!! Keep doing what you do
Jimi is LEGEND. Listen to everything!!!!!!!
You ought to hear Jimi Hendrix play the National Anthem! It will give you Goosebumps literally!! 😨😱😬
Jimi is an absolute legend.
He was briefly in a band named “Band of Gypsies”. It’s a three piece band (guitar, bass, drums) with Jimi and the drummer (Buddy Miles) on vocals. Hands down THE best live Hendrix… ever….
I was at the Atlanta Pop Festival and saw Jimi. Wow, he was something.
Wow man, you're a legend just cause you were there. Dig it😍🤩✌️
He could make that sing or scream with one hand, Damn🔥🔥!! Much respect and love💖💯 rip JH
If you ever wind up in seattle there are Jimi monuments everywhere, the city is quite proud of Jimi 👍
Jimi Hendrix is a magician of music.
HaHa!
