@@yellowjacket4843 ??? With the exception of a Gibson Flying V most notably seen and used in the Rainbow Bridge concert and a Bartell Black Widow guitar, most of Hendrix’s guitars were righty guitars flipped over and changed to be played left handed!

And if I were high, I'd say "damn, how do ya think he got outta that coffin?" ✌️☮️ Jimi was the master of distortion. He could tease distortion out of an acoustic, it would sing and it would sound good. ✌️☮️

I’m almost sure Jimi would change the strings though, so that they were in the right order. Props to this guy for not changing them, makes playing a lot harder

As a former drummer in a Hendrix tribute band, keep Jimi's image and music alive by any means necessary!👏👏👏 This beats beating on five gallon buckets any day!😂
He’s even playing the guitar upside down like Jimi. That’s some dedication! Edit: I was mistaken, Jimi strung his guitar normally, just on a left hand guitar. He didn’t play with upside strings…
@@PotHead98 i don’t think they are, didn’t Hendrix flip his guitar and reverse his strings so that his strings would actually be the correct way around? Low E on top and high E on bottom? This guys strings are upside down
@@wilhelmvontag3998he did? So he didn't restring it so that the low E string is on top? I dont think thats true, because hendrix used his thumb for bass notes. Im pretty sure he restrung his guitars so they go in the same order top to bottom. There are players who played guitars "backwards" and "upsidedown" but im not sure if jimi did.
I know. It would help a bunch, if he just learned some guitar playing. Just saying, 'cause Jimi, he sorta played, like, guitar... you know?? 🤨🤔 🆗😎🆒🎼 🎸. 😳

Henrix

Even plays the guitar upside down like Hendrix. OG
That WAS jimmy hendrix a rare rare outtake that no one seen ,I was there 1966 It was before he got famous.
Looks like he been to the crossroads and come back with a van from the future! But he had to supply the fuzzy dice himself....
Yep.. I heard about it.. my mother was there too. Drove her dodge caravan .. that's it behind him 🤣
If I was high I would’ve thought that was really him

I *AM* high and I thought it was Jimi..
This is very rare concert footage. Jimi was playing on the street, but everyone was more interested in the rooftop concert about a block away.
And the Beatles had a police escort
And Hank Williams Sr showed up in a puff of smoke.
Get back JoJo
Obviously he was high on smack
Oh.. Get Back .. my brotha
Man woke up one day and realised he looks and sounds like jimi hendrix
The lady dancing was pretty funny. She knows what good music is too.
Sings like Jimi, Looks like Jimi, plays like Elmer Fudd
ELMER!!! 🤣🎅🏼
sounds like elmo
looks like elmo
plays like a damn cookie monster 🔥🔥
Tbf though it looks like he’s playing the guitar upside down which is pretty accurate to Jimi. A fine little detail.
Chi è Elmer Fudd?
@ozzy2623 a Looney Tunes character who chases Buggs Bunny.
Even playing the right-handed guitar left-handed. Dedication.

@@messygamez5675no he didnt
@@messygamez5675 no he played it upside down

not true, sloppy guitar playing is sloppy guitar playing. End of story. Would still sound like crap with bass and drums smh
You just gotta be really high, and you'd think you're in the 60's.
We ❤ Jimi, Rip, great tribute. Thank you
That woman didn’t care who it was, she's on the groove!
I was looking for this comment, had to point her out myself cause I didn’t see her getting any recognition. You a real one for it fam. She said 🐧 💃
i love that women too.. She looked joys but serious with steps😅
She got a flashback to her youth
That's me trying to play purple haze in high school😂

He's definitely just as high as Jimi was lmao.
Middle school lol
faded than a ho@@yesseru
im 12 but i can play purple haze
Dude got the hendrix look down to a T. The upside down, reverse strung right handed strat held left handed, the outfit, the voice EVERYTHING
It's not reverse strung. He's playing a right handed guitar upside down
I new jimmy was still alive , God love this guy give him some props for doing something in this world positive .and honest.
That inner voice "Help me!" was real
Yeah it’s high key not even that bad. Everything is there except the guitar virtuoso. He kinda nailed the sonics of it
Lol
That woman doing her thing is what makes this video for me.

Oh the voice!!! 😍
She had a swag like no other person I seen before.

There is something about the bucket guys though.

Buckets the Drummer is awesome, I found him searching for street performers playing buckets. Good stuff.

Yes he did @joegadd9668

@@Gottiline_Ace I have been practicing for the past month, idk if im new or i just suck at it, but he sure plays better than me😅
Haha the high strings on top killed me 💀☠️💀
As a guitarist, Id be more than willing to offer this man a "Cyrano behind the bushes" kind of deal.
I like to think he's actually right-handed. He just plays this way because Jimi did
A true method actor! Like Peter fall had a false eye to play columbo

Jimi ain’t dead, he’s alive and well!
Excuse me while I kiss this guy!
I’m sorry but I can’t unhear that
Jimi was rather referring to the sky as opposed to guy as you could see in some of his videos he raised his hand pointing to the sky
He says the sky. The context of the song even suggests he so high that he can kiss the sky.
Jimi is saying Scuse me while I kiss the sky xx
😂. And yes he knows its sky. Jes saying it sounded like guy here
In one concert, he pointed over to Noel Redding and clearly said, " - kiss this guy." 😂
Long live Jimi. ❤

Looks and sounds just like him......My UNREAL
Murdering that groove
Still a better guitar player than I am
