He absolutely is playing rhythm and lead.. 3 piece band.. .Him on guitar, Noel Redding on Bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums.
Those drums!!
Well said! And I love Mitch's drums so much as well.
Wild!
Yes, I've read that Jimi and Stevie Ray Vaughan are both known for playing both lead and rhythm.
@@lissawillis6829Hendrix yes he plays the guitar upside down left-handed and right-handed play rhythm League guitar sing at same time it's what you call is Hendrix is a universal guitar player. Stephen Ray Vaughan he's not in the same league as James Marshall Hendrix nobody comes close to James Marshall Hendrix.
Singing, playing with his teeth and still didn't lose his chewing gum. Fantastic.
He's not chewing gum he's tripping on acid
If Jimi Hendrix isn't your favorite rock guitarist I will almost guarantee he's your favorite rock guitarist's favorite guitarist. Jimi didn't die, he just returned to his home planet.
Jimi didn't die, he just returned to his home planet. - i love that😂
He did return to his home planet. Little story: a New York Post reporter said to him "I'm from the NY Post...and Jimi replied : "I'm from Mars"....lol...true story.
Such a perfect explanation of Jimi's playing
🎵💜🎶🎸
So true.
Well Said!!
Most people miss the fact when they first see Jimi that he plays a right handed guitar left handed upside down.
He reversed the strings as in standard right hand tuning ( low E string on top)🎸
Totally missed that!
@@barsandbarbells2022 that's where that unique sound you mentioned comes from! Good ear!!!
He liked having the vibrato bar (whammy bar) and controls closer to the top of the guitar.
The really impressive thing about Jimi, was that he could play a right handed guitar that was strung for a right handed player, with almost the same facility. That's a really incredible level of dexterity and coordination.
No one will ever come close to Jimi, he was the coolest guy ever.
AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT HE DID ALL OF THESE AMAZING THINGS AND STILL CHEWED GUM THE WHOLE TIME!!!
I heard that S.R.V.s wife once said that sometimes he would wake up in the middle of the night and get out of bed and go and play his guitar because he had dreamt that Jimi Hendrix had taught him something new.
No body could play feedback like Jimi. Nobody ever. Jimi was Stevie Ray Vaugn's mentor. Jimi wrote. Voodoo Child
Mentors work with you. Jimi died when SRV was 16.
So, you say he never listened to Jimi at that age?@@betsyduane3461
@@betsyduane3461 Well, he was definitely one of Vaughn's idols, if you prefer that term, along with a few others, like Howlin' Wolf and Lonnie Mack
Worth checking out the late great Chicago's Terry Kath's Freeform Guitar feedback epic from 1969. Jimi rated Terry as a guitarist. Both sadly gone now. RIP Jimi and Terry. 🎸
@@supertrexandroidx Yes, I saw SRV 2x
I was lucky enough to see the Jimi Hendrix Experience twice in 1968, and I would have to agree that, yes, he was the best. Not only was he a virtuoso on the electric guitar, but he also created a style of playing that was brand new and thrilling to watch. And don't forget he wrote most of the songs he played; songs that had beautiful lyrics and melodies. I consider him a creative genius, and I still think back to those 2 concerts, over a half century ago .....
That's awesome. What concerts did you see him at?
Well davidzimmerli489 my new most jealous moment?! Must of been Magical Cool!! And Groovy , Cherry and Far Out Man!!
@@raiderfan71269 I saw him at the Rochester War Memorial in Rochester, New York on March 21, 1968 and 2 days later, March 23, 1968, at the Buffalo War Memorial in Buffalo, New York. The Buffalo show was by far the better of the two. My friend and I had fantastic seats, 2nd row, left section, directly below Jimi, looking up at Jimi, who was in a great mood, pulling out all the stops, doing backward somersaults, while playing amazing guitar, playing with his teeth, playing behind his back, and humping his amps until they shook. And all the time, chatting & joking with the audience. I still think back to that day, and realize how lucky I was to be there ....... mind blowing!
@@allengray5748 It was all of those and more, believe me, Allen!
@@davidzimmerli489 Saw him July 1970. A month and a half later he left us behind, but the "Experience" stays with me and millions more, and millions yet to come who will be influenced his musical genius.
YES he played the rhythm and lead , teeth, one handed , behind his back, chewing gum, singing and summer-salts.....you just witnessed the legend. Hendrix wrote Voodoo child
Imagine if he'd made it past 27 dude. R.I.P Hendrix
Yeah too many TH-camrs edit the best parts out of videos you need to watch the one where Jimi is humping the amp
Jimi is playing with his TEETH here. You really need to watch his entire Monterey Pop performance. He lights his guitar on fire. Plays and does a somersault
Jimi absolutely changed the way the electric guitar was played. It's hard to keep perspective via today's standards of what a great guitar player is, as the evolution of the instrument continues to reach higher levels. You only need to grab a few quotes from his peers of the day to see the impact he had at the time. He also had an everlasting impact on how recordings were made- "painting" soundscapes with guitar. Listen to some of his original studio material to get a feel for what a true master composer he was. To me, he and Duane Allman were to two greatest losses in terms of potential in the history of Rock.
Don't forget SRV!
I got to see Jimi Hendrix live a few weeks before he died. Jimi was the one that so many others copied - including SRV. He was an innovator and an absolute phenom. He changed how people approached guitar playing and blew the lid off the music scene when he came out. This was the first time for teeth playing and playing behind your back.
Good as SRV was - and I saw him live - I wish I had seen Jimi. And no disrespect to SRV but I never got why so many people like him and don't know Jimi's music. Likewise Prince (another who took hugely from Jimi)
Jimi could play with his teeth, behind his back, over his head, and between his legs. These stunts he learned in his youth by attending gigs and witnessing other guitar artists around Seattle.
And then there's Jimi. He was a force of nature when he showed up. The top rock guitarists of the time, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton etc. were totally blown away, and said so publicly. Stories of him playing a club in London, with the entire audience being made up of musicians. Cream. The Stones. The Who. Truly the who's who of the bands of the time all flocked to see this guy. Monterey was his coming out party. Insisting on being the final band, he closed the show with his legendary burning of his guitar. He was also the closing act at Woodstock. The concert ran late so Jimi played on Monday morning. Imagine waking up in a mud-soaked field to Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix for breakfast, and The Star-Spangled Banner played like it had never been done before. There are several films of his concerts out there but hard to find. It was fascinating to see how he changed up the way he played certain of his iconic songs such as Machinegun (sound effects) Red House ( heavy Blues) and Voodoo Chile ( It is Chile, not Child ). Purple Haze about LSD. He was so versatile. Check out SRV's version of Little Wing. Stevie was massively influenced by Hendrix.
All along the watchtower. The studio version is a great one from Jimi Hendrix!
People who have seen this a thousand times still get shivers hearing the tone, seeing the presence, knowing this guy bows to nobody in the pantheon of guitar greats. It's not just the ability, it's the construction of the movements and little yelps and sneers from his melodies, and it IS the melodiousness of it. Even when he drives hard solos it's always sweet to the ear. He's not showing off, he's sensing the sound. But of course, it's also the completeness of it all. Bass and Drums do their part perfectly.
It is amazing how a three piece band gets such a full sound. So yes, Jimi is doing all of the guitar parts as well as singing.
He was a master. Check out his rendition of the star spangled banner. Epic. He has many great songs. Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, The wind Cries Mary. Voodoo Child has a fantastic solo from the live version.
The Wind cries Mary is my favorite of Hendrix's song, it is a little softer than the other. All are good but I lik that one the best.
Good as this is, if you want to hear Jimi at his very best - here are the two tracks at the very too of the list: 1- Machine Gun (from Band of Gypsies album, it is a live performance from the Filmore East on New Years Eve 1969->1970 (video is available!)) and 2- Voodoo Child, slight return (studio version only please - off the Electric Ladyland album). The best of the best (and there are many other bests!)!
Excellent suggestion, I tend to feel people need to work their way up to Machine Gun with A Band of Gypsys. I think people that I have seen react to that song were not fully ready to take that in!
Totally agree with your choices, especially the Fillmore Machine Gun ,mind blower of mind blowers
Machine Gun is the greatest guitar solo ever
Jimi Hendrix was in the Isley Brothers before he went solo, all you want to know about Hendrix is in the documentary A FILM ABOUT JIMI HENDRIX it came out around 1973/1974, they interviewed everybody alive at the time who had interaction with him including his father, girlfriend ect..
Hendrix was great at improvising on the guitar. He was a pioneer in his day. As far as I know, T-Bone Walker - the first man to play the electric guitar with his teeth. 9 of of 10 dentists do not recommend playing guitar with your teeth, lol. Other songs of his I recommend - All Along the Watchtower, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady
Jimi started his career playing with people like Little Richard, The Isley Brothers and others. He was playing what was called the Chitlin Circuit down south and the playing with teeth, behind your back was part of the showmanship in those performances.
However, as you noted Jimi's facility with the guitar and brilliant rhythm and solo licks made him one of the best to ever do it. Add to that Jimi's personal style, smoothness, songwriting gifts and mastery of blues and rock and you've seen someone who absolutely changed guitar and music forever.
Jimi was absolutely the epitome of a legend!
I was privileged to see Jimi live in 1970. His warm up band was Strawberry Alarm Clock. After their set, the stagehands swapped out the drum set and actually nailed it all to the stage. The amps literally formed a wall at the rear of the stage. The Experience (Jimi's band) consisted of himself, his bass player, and his drummer. About halfway through his concert, they had to come out and reset all the nails in the drum set. Yeah, it was that energetic and loud. I think Jimi was pretty much deaf by this point in his career. An unforgettable experience though, no pun intended.
His violent Dad walked in on Jimmy when he was a kid and witnessed him playing an old style broom 🧹. His eyes were closed and his fingers were bleeding from playing a brush. Pure music coming out of him. So glad he eventually got a guitar 🎸 ❤
Jimi was a master at combining lead and rhythm. He was a (if not the) main innovator of many different chords, solos, licks, riffs, and combining them all. His style and talent combined with his guitar effects and the new wave of psychedelic rock had never been seen or heard before. When Jimi hit the scene people were hearing noises they had never heard from a guitar.
Yes and when Pete Townshend saw him oh The Who he was fearing for his lively hood. Peace 🕊️
Eric Clapton said he nearly threw his guitar away
Jimi was making love with his guitar everytime he went on stage...
Playing the guitar opposite hand, and he shreds it... Simply amazing...
Yep, Jimi was left handed and took a right hand , much more common, guitar and restrung it to play left. I think it was Lennon whowas going to give him a left about the time Jimi died
@@jimwilcox2964Clapton
@@robertnathan2843 yep, Clapton, Lennon is said to have given him a silver cuff bracelet after a show
@@jimwilcox2964 Cool, thanks. Paul recommended him for the Monterey show when the Beatles turned it down. He was well loved.🎸
Wow!! This IS exciting!! Both of you seeing Jimi for the first time!!!!
💙💙💙🔥🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🌹
I always felt that Jimi's guitar was just an extension of his body and soul.
Jimi opened up an entire new world for all those who came after him . His unique talent and songwriting skills started a whole movement in Rock n Roll. He is playing with a 3 piece band, bass, and drums and everything else is him.
Yes, you're right! He was playing lead and rhythm at the same time. It was a common practice on the Chitlin Curcuit for the R&B, BLUES and even GOSPEL of the day on stage. You'd b e surprised at the tricks needed to set yourself apart!
Jimi will always be the man. Hands down.
It's not just the guitar playing. What we lost with Jimi was great song creation. He's one of the best song creators ever and the songs were created through the guitar.
I'm happy I knew jimi since time immemorial. I was born 9 yrs after he died.
The Jimi Hendrix studio version of All Along the Watchtower blows my mind every time I hear it. Did you notice that he was playing left handed with a right handed guitar upside down?
MonterAAY Pop, 1967. He arrived as a rumor and left as a legend.
He was FAMOUS for four years. Before then he played in various bands including Little Richard's.
See his "Like a Rolling Stone" from the same performance.
For playing behind one's head see T-Bone Walker from 1940s-50s.
If you dig into Jimi going to England to play, you find out how much he impacted so many other guitarists. All the greats at the time were freaking out over Jimi!
Jimi Hendrix. No one comes even close to this !!
Jimi walked onto that stage an unknown, but walked off a legend.
He completely changed how people played and viewed the electric guitar more than anyone. Besides his showmanship of playing with his teeth, behind his head, behind his back, between his legs, etc… (There’s a great photo of him playing a one-handed solo behind his back while chugging a Coke!) he was a great songwriter both musically and lyrically. He used feedback and distortion in ways that nobody had before. There would be no SRV, EVH, Malmsteen, etc without Jimi Hendrix.
Hard to believe he’s gone over fifty years. Listen to his All Along The Watchtower. He insisted he wrap up Woodstock, and didn’t disappoint.
I saw Jimi Hendrix in 1967 He was backing up the Monkees ! My mom was a Monkees fan who made me go and Jimi was getting pissed off when he was playing because all the girls were yelling "We Want Davie ,We want Davie non stop lol ! I was 12 now i have all Jimi's albums and over 30 CD's Thanks Y'all
Voodoo Child; Are You Experienced?; Purple Haze; All Along the Watchtower…….such great songs! King of psychedelic blues rock.
Jimi Hendrix 27 my favourite 4 ever,just 3 years only in industry but amazing ❤🎸🤘🥰💓👌🙏🙏🙏
I don’t know if you noticed, but he’s also playing a Right handed guitar, strung upside down in order to play it left handed….
As a left handed kid, his first guitar was a standard, old beat up second hand right handed guitar which had to be strung upside down, so that’s what he got used to, and carried on for the rest of his short life…
Jimi, Janis and Jim Morrison. Will never be duplicated.
Thank you for your reaction to the Jimmy Hendrix Hey Joe. I was at his concert in Copenhagen in 1967, and he and his band literally blow me away, with his way to play the guitar and using distorsion and feedback in his performance. At this period, there was only the group Cream with Eric Clapton playing a powerful blues/rock, progressiv rock, and the beginning of psychedelic rock, when Jimmy Hendrix arrived with his way to play the guitar, and changed the guitar performance forever.
Copenhagen my hometown. Not quite I grew up 30 miles south of Copenhagen, but did live there for awhile as an adult. When I was a teenager my friends and I would take the train or bus to Copenhagen to go to Montmatre, a Jazz club, Dexter Gordon was living in Denmark then and played in that club often. In 1967 I was an au pair in Westport, and that was the year I really got into rock and roll, not I forgot about jazz, but all sudden rock changed in the mid to late sixties, Jimi, The Doors, The Band many others.
Love that song and Jimi and the band. A few years ago i showed that clip years ago to my Grand daughter when she was 9 and i asked her whats different about him playing his guitar she said " it's a right handed guitar and he's playing on the leftside and the guitar is upside" I nearly died when she got it almost immediately.
The guitar/teeth thing is an old blues showmen thing - Jimi just brought it to the masses 🌞🎶🎸😬😎🙌👍
Three men bands always kill me! Noel and Mitch leave nothing in the bag behind him!
His life was short, his mark indelible, his influence indefinite!
Great reaction!
He was so influential and it's more than just his skill set, he was a fascinating individual. They had been in the army and also he was left-handed but rather than buying a left-handed guitar, and by the way Ringo Starr of The Beatles was also left-handed playing with a mostly right-handed drum set, Jimi Hendrix just took a right handed guitar and turn it upside down and play it left-handed. Everything about that is just so odd and challenging.
But he had a lot more than that too, he just was at the time, this new definition of cool, of just being so hip, just being so amazing.
That just added to all the emotion when he died way too early.
As will be said many times, 😀Jimi Hendrix is your favorite guitar players favorite guitar player!
There are only 3 musicians in the Jimi Hendrix Experience (guitar, bass, drums). Hendrix has influenced just about every guitarist to this date. And yes, he's also chewing gum. Great reactions
I've watched a few reactions to this video and one of the things that makes him unique often gets overlooked despite being obvious. He plays left-handed but plays a right-handed guitar strung for a left-handed player. When I first saw a video of Hendrix playing, and it wasn't with his mouth so I wasn't as distracted, the first thing I noticed was how weird the head of his guitar looked. That's when I realized he was a lefty
In his short music career , he's got so many songs. Watch this whole concert. He also has : Live At Maui- Woodstock, live at the filmore . And so much more.
His whole performance at Monterey was literally 🔥. 😉
Saw Jimi Hendrix Aug 2,1968 in San Antonio and sat on 3rd row. He blew our minds. All the sounds were created on stage without any special gear. Just Jimi and his guitar. Soft Machine was the opening act. Privileged to be there.
You are absolutly right, he is playing rhythm and lead at the same time. Jimi was insane! Lemmy (Motörhead) said about him. When I saw him playing I realized, that I should quit playing guitar and focus on bass. And that is what he did. Lemmy played the bass like a guitar, which made the unique sound of Motörhead.
All manual tuning and all ten amps
Part of Jimi's special guitar sound came from tuning down a half step.
Jimi Hendrix .... Machine Gun .... Hear My Train A Coming ....In From The Storm .... Total Genius . Between 1967 and 1970 Jimi's playing changed immensely . Take a look at his Isle Of Wight Festival ... 500,000 people ( England )
In Jimi's hands the guitar is not just a guitar....it's a weapon!
You should react to his performance of the national anthem at Woodstock. Fabulous.
Jimi was playing a right handed guitar as a left hander. The guitar was restrung but the tuners appear on the bottom of the head stock rather than the top and the tone controls are above the strings where as they should be below the strings. Left handed Fender Strats were almost impossible to find but on the night jimi died Eric Clapton was waiting to meet him in a pub where he was going to gift him a proper left handed Fender Strat . Sadly Jimi never arrived to recieve the gift
True story
Jimi Hendrix & Janis Joplin started their careers together & sadly ended them together,, passing away only 16 days apart..R.I.P. Jimi & Janis 🙏❤️
Doing it all while casually chewing his gum. LOL GOAT!
R.I.P., Guitar Maestro.........gone at age 27.....what a loss to the musical world......we miss 'ya........
I was 8 years old when I herd this master..the first time..and he blew me away..My dad played on the turntable...it is blues
Jimi - Manic Depression is FIRE!!!! The drumming and the guitar is top notch!
Do you know what Manic Depression is? This song is actually a competition between Jimi and Mitch to see who is the best musician. It's close!
So many great guitar players wowed
The tricks are cool and all but what makes Jimi the greatest was his creativity. Absolutely out of this world and has given us some of the most beautiful songs ever. Not to mention he revolutionized how the guitar is played. Like what.
One of the legends about Jimi was that at some concerts he put a couple of hits of LSD under his headband and once he started sweating he would get " off" and still played.
Jimi was so unique. The tricks are very entertaining but what makes him really stand out was that he was a revolutionary, a musical genius, the best improvisor, never played a song the same way twice (unlike almost every other guitar player), he was an incredible songwriter, he played different genres and styles and every album is a classic. He was a searcher and sometimes it didn't work out but when it did, he stood way above anyone before or after him. Check out his version of Johnny B Goode from Berkeley!
Hendrix, The Trailblazer........he leads and everyone else follows!!
Funny story I read in a rock magazine a long time back. There was an article that said that at one of Jimi's shows in London England, Eric Clapton had come and watched him for the first time. After that show, he called Pete Townsend up on the phone (guitar player for "The Who") and told him that there is somebody that he needs to see. And at Jimi's next show before he came out on stage, Eric tells Pete: "I think this is the guy that's going to put us out of business". lol I'll never forget about reading that.
MUST HEAR Classics,, Jimi Hendrix "Crosstown Traffic" & "The Wind Cries Mary"
He's the best guitarist of all times, with incredible influence creativity and talent. Also that scene presence... He's the god of guitar players for a reason.
a lot of these things, playing w teeth, behind his head, jimi was the first. GOAT! also, he was left-handed, so took a right-handed guitar and strung it upside down and just ran w it
I saw Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock when I was 14. I had just turned 14 on August 16, 1969. My mom did not know...she thought I was at a lake in Michigan on my birthday. 😮. I never told her. She would have been furious even if I told her later in life. I was not a hippie! 😆
He was the first to do any of this. He could play feedback and distortion as well
Jimi's drummer Mitch Mitchell was F-ING AMAZING!!!!
Queen- Now I'm here
live is a good example also of lead and rhythm combination at its best
Those unison bends are crazy.
Me and our kids grew up on Jimi. Driving to church listening to Are You Experienced and I Don't Live Today. Purple Haze and Machine Gun going home. Grandchildren are here. They'll remember how free thinking works rather than become dedicated followers of outdated ideas. RIP Pastor Jimi. 🙏👍👏😎💪😍🇳🇿
Pioneer. GOAT. Hendrix
Heard this at age 15, never was the same!
My Wife Pat and I Want you to have The Best 2024 RESPECT 🙏💯 🌟💝 Thanks Keep on Posting❤
I'm 72 and lucky enough to see JIMI TWICE in Houston Tx.
SRV was Awesome. BUT JIMI IN ENTED IT.
And playing an upside down guitar, He influenced a generation of guitarists!
RIP JH🌹
I loved Hindix so much I bought a 60 year edition of his Guitar, that was quiet a while ago. I have only played it twice . He plays left handed on a right handed Fender Straticastor. When I was young my brother drove me nuts playing Hindrix night and day. Now I listen to him a lot .
His cover of Bob Dylan's "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER", is clearly a classic. But, if you want to hear an incredible example of Jimi and his drummer Buddy Miles improvisational skills listen to "WHO KNOWS" from their Band of Gypsies.
I think his music will live on. If anyone is going yo be classed as a classical musician in years to come it will be him.
Jimi was a force of nature!
All along the watchtower, purple haze, the wind cries mary...all good songs
Jimmy played the greatest national anthem on the guitar 🎸 at Woodstock
“What is happening right now?!”, asked everyone in the audience that night. 😂
Yes he is playing both!
The most creative and innovative musician of the 20th century, regardless of instrument.
Voodoo child at woodstock followed by national anthem. And machine gun on band of gyspsy. See why he's really the greatest and most inspirational artist ever. ❤
I like his version of "All Along The Watchtower"... the guitar play is brilliant. o
Jimi was in US AIRBORNE. He literally slept with that guitar in the barracks. I study Him.
He was playing with his right hand. The mouth engagement was all act.
