I am 72 yrs old. I saw JIMI twice in Houston. Amazing.
I have photos of Jimi playing Houston in '68, '69 & '70. I saw him in Miami. One of my life's high points.
As stated below,but for you abouve so to speak, One of Thee Luckiest People to walk the Earth, YOU !! Thank you kindly and as Jimi would say "Stay Groovy, Stay Free" as you can! its your right!! Peace,Love and damn good music!!
@@scottemmonsmusic6001 and yet another one that I will say this to, YOU got to see Jimi? Wow!! One of thee Luckiest Peope to still WALk the Earth Plane !!
Poor girl, not familiar with the greatest classic rock guitarist of all time. Shock, he chews gum. Jimi always did on stage. No comment on the famous repeating tongue flick although every hippie chic knew what he was doing. His teeth dear, not his face. At least she called him “masterful”. Saw “The Experience” in Chicago at the Chicago Opera House in ‘67.
I'm 72 as well. I saw him early in his career supported by Pink Floyd and the Nice in the north of the UK. The venue was less than half full but the atmosphere was incredible. Went to many concerts afterwards but non ever surpassed the emotional excitement of that night
Probably the most historically important musical performance of all time.
That one gig changed rock-n-roll...
🤣 yeah, whatever dude
If we only had video from the prime of T-bone Walker - playing with his teeth, behind the back and head, the duck walk - you’d know where it all comes from.
Yes, Jimi is the master and his guitar is his slave. He not only masters the guitar but he can sing and play the guitar with his teeth ALL WHILE CHEWING GUM!
While playing a right hand guitar, left handed and upside down....
Master of The Stratocaster (by the way, his strings are restrung as in the standard way).
He always chewed only Blackjack gum on stage.
The performance you are responding to was done in 1967. That was a very long time ago. Everybody who saw him including famous guitar players had the same reaction that you are having. They had never seen anything like him before and he was also a very great guitar player. He is probably the single biggest electric guitar influence ever in rock music. He was the original prototype Rockstar. He died very young at age 27 but after only two-and-a-half years of having his band he was the number one top billing rock act for all of the concerts including the famous 1969 Woodstock concert. From the same performance you should watch him play Wild Thing. Not only does he play with his teeth as he did in this song, and behind his head but also behind his back underneath his legs and he does a somersault while playing the guitar and then burns the guitar as a sacrifice. He was one-of-a-kind. All the big stars of the time back then were in awe of him although he was a very shy and friendly person off stage with a good sense of humor, when he got on stage things exploded. You should watch the whole Monterey Pop Festival performance by Jimi Hendrix. And you should watch him play the national anthem at Woodstock which is readily available on TH-cam.
She is playing coy....
Jimi was by far the greatest artist of all time…..considered a “genius savant” according to the Army’s IQ/Apptitude test. Never gets stale.
a little joint, a dark room and then hendrix... no first class flight with a real airplane will be better...^^
No the army said that he claims to play guitar. They never give IQ tests. IQ tests don't actually measure anything anyway.
Hendrix was light years ahead of his time. He could create sounds using feedback and the primitive equipment available to him in the late 60;s that most guitarists still can't recreate using modern technology today.
i,m a big fan of him but in the netherlands was a band TIELMAN BROTHERS ROLLING ROCK (BEST ROCK,NROLL LIVE )TV SHOW 1960 OR ROCK IT UP LIVE VIDEO 1959 INDO ROCK VIDEO
He is so far ahead of his time he is still blowing minds today 😅
@@dazo69 no a dutch band did this in 1960 look TIELMAN BROTHERS ROLLING ROCK FROM TV SHOW 1960 but i,m a big fan of jimi
Without computers!!
And that's the problem, using modern technology designed to cater to modern tastes.
But as far as primitive, not really, just simple, and loads of people still use the old stuff.
'You're my guitar & I can do whatever I want with you, because I'm your master'.
Probably one of the best descriptions of Jimi Hendrix that I've ever heard...👍
Jimi has a number of songs to melt your mind. Foxy Lady, Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child to start.
Each live performance of these songs will take you to another place, more so than the studio version, as he'll go off in so many different directions.
As you can see Jimi is left handed, back when he decided to learn guitar left handed ones weren't that available and were expensive. He got one and restrung it upside down and, as they say, the rest is history.
All of the best Hendrix Songs.. Voodoo Child should be the next one. And yes, he played the guitar with his teeth.
@@robertmunson5412 If you watch just before he does it he flicks his tongue at the audience 2:35 so they know what he's about to do ;)
He did not restring the guitars upside down, They were strung as right-handed guitars. He learned to play them upside down and therefore, left-handed in that sense.
He did restring them , but he was capable of playing it without restringing it. He could also play right handed, which he would do when his father entered the room, flip it from lefty to righty really fast.
Not to mention Little wing, also a great song by jimi. Or Peace in mississippi
He's not only the original guitar hero, he is still is THE guitar hero. Everyone after him copied him, yet no one did it like him.
I know that's true enough, but you have to see Stevie Ray Vaughn doing Hendrix. Not a copy, but a great homage to the great Jimi.
@@jamessweet5341 I'm 55, and I have seen it. Not in the same league. Because someone can play it well isn't the same as the guy who invented the techniques and pulled it out of his ass.
@@jamessweet5341 Stevie was probably the most technically proficient blues guitarist of all time, I actually preferred his own material like Texas Flood, Pride and Joy, Lenny among other amazing songs. He still did a great job at Jimi but nothing matched Jimis creativity and uniqueness, no-one truly did it like Jimi
I saw SRV live 5 times. Great, but nobody comes close to Jimi.@@jamessweet5341
I am 71 and saw many great guitar players and I think Jimi is the GOAT
3 musicians - that’s all!
One being the greatest guitarist ever!
How? He was born to play the guitar!
It’s a treat to see your first time reactions to Jimi.. those of us who were coming-of-age when he erupted into life fell in love, and we’re blown away by everything he brought us I was one of them. Welcome to the club.
There's a reason Jimi is considered the greatest guitarist of all time.
Only by people that don't play guitar.
@@RichardDuncan-ju1xk Then who is by people who play guitar, not that should matter?
@@passionsquietrage No one. There is no greatest guitarist. Hendrix was important in the evolution of rock and blues, like Van Gogh was important in the evolution of modern art. Other than that, everything else is subjective. I love Hendrix, but there are thousands of better players technically.
@@RichardDuncan-ju1xk Interesting point of view.
Two songs: "And the Wind Cries Mary" and "Little Wing". They're both gentle ballads that still show off his guitar wizardry, but also exhibit his capacity as a songwriter.
Those songs, really show his song writing and guitar playing. Thank you.😊
Don’t forget castle made of sand 😎
Yes Jimi is one of the early guitar gods and many still think he's the best ever. But he could write and sing beautiful songs as well. Sadly he died young like a lot of artists did back then.
..and Jeff Beck, Steve Howe, Allan Holdsworth ect.?
He is THE guitar god. It shouldn't even be a question at this point, 50 years later. There's Jimi Hendrix and then there's everyone else.
Nobody, at least not your typical rock and pop audiences had never seen anything like Jimi before. His bag of "tricks", like playing behind his back or with his teeth were picked up on the southern "Chitlin' Circuit", a training ground for young musicians and a steady source of work for the best of the best.
After years playing as a sideman with rock and R&B greats like Little Richard, Curtis Knight, the Isley Brothers and many more, Jimi was discovered in New York's Greenwich Village and taken to England to assemble a band and record. This performance is from his return performance and reintroduction to the US at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. His impact on the crowds was as profound and unexpected, as revolutionary seeming as it had been in London. His virtuosity, flamboyance and just swagger, his innate style combined with mind-blowing musicality propelled him quickly into the top-tier of rock royalty, the premiere act and earner of his day. Dive in. Check his cover of Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower', 'The Star-Spangled Banner/Purple Haze/Villanova Junction' from the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair, 'Johnny B. Goode' from Berkeley, or more of his own compositions.
😘🤙🎸🎶❤✨️🕊
Jimi was a magician on guitar. Playing solo’s with his teeth and behind his back. Playing rhythm and lead guitar simultaneously and singing. Dude was the whole package. This Monterey performance is one of my favorites of his. Legend!
Saw him in 1968, I was probably 15 to 20 feet from him. What a great show. Watch him play Wild Thing from the same concert. Jim
Oof .. I feel jealous!
Jimi did some amazing things with his guitar, including setting fire to it with lighter fluid, firstly in London in 1967 and then later that year, more famously at the Monterey Pop Festival. His mainstream career only lasted four years but what am impact he had.
Dweezil Zappa owns that guitar...from Monterey Pop..a gift from Jimi to Frank
I can't wait to see this reaction! I never get enough Jimi in my life. 😊 ✌🏼❤ from 🇺🇸
This whole concert of Hendrix live at the Monterey Pop Festival was mind-blowing !!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Absolutely! Fantastic version of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" ( Dylan was his idol ) and ending with a playfully explosive cover of the Troggs pop hit "Wild Thing". Check those out. You will not be disappointed.
Didn't he set fire to his guitar right there on the stage?
@@standbytogo123 if you watch him " Live at the Monterey Pop Festival " his last song he fires it up & smashes it to pieces .
@@guitarman8462 Thought so, but I like to check as I don't trust my memory so much these days.
@@johnsilva9139 him calling Noel Redding Bob Dylans grandmother was hilarious.
This immortal performance was at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Even though Jimi was American, he had to go to England to get noticed. This was his homecoming. His first performance in America as The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones flew to America specifically to introduce Jimi Hendrix to the audience. Jimi was honored and humbled that Brian Jones would do that. I'm glad this was your introduction to this amazing artist who changed the face of the electric guitar and what it was capable of. Yes. He was the master of his guitar. He was also the master of casual cool. On stage, nothing phased him. He would play some amazing passages in an offhand way which really intimidated the guitar gods of the day. You can see interviews with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend, and others talking about the first time they saw him play when he first arrived in England. Some of them half-jokingly said, "I felt like I needed to go home and practice some more". Another nice thing about Hendrix was that he was very humble, He praised other guitarists and would get shy when people would refer to his guitar prowess.
BTW, you are very charming.
The legendary Jimi Hendrix. Fantastic reaction. Yes, Google for other great videos. Jiminy was an excellent guitar player. But also a great entertainer . And the coolest dude ever.🎉❤
Lady - HENDRIX's act was a wonder back then - and still is.
When my father (a world war II vet) took my sister to see The Monkees at Forest Hills, NY in 1967, the warm-up band was Jimi Hendrix. Just a couple of months before my dad passed away in 2018, he recalled that show and said, "son I couldn't believe it, this guy was playing this white guitar with his teeth!" My dad happened to see some of the most famous acts of the 20th century live including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix.
I have photos of Jimi on the Monkees tour at Forest Hills and a couple of other shows. He only lasted for 6 dates opening for The Monkees. Crazy bad fit!
"House Burning Down." That's Jimi at the top of his game on the guitar and in the recording studio. A must, must listen. 🎸
Amazing song, that whole 4th side of that album is Hendrix at his apex!
Electric Ladyland I believe was his most epic departure to another world described by his sounds. The fourth side of the record is like the return trip to earth. House burning down into all along the watchtower ending in voodoo Child slight return is devastatingly powerful.
Love seeing young people be Amazed.
Also playing a right-handed guitar left-handed. Obviously makes everything upside down. Jimi was really great. Try listening to "Fire" and "Purple Haze", two of his biggest songs when he first came on the scene. Far as I know, he wrote them both. Hearing those two songs was how I came to know of Hendrix. I'd say one of his best was a cover of a Bob Dylan song called "All Along the Watchtower". "Hey Joe" is a cover of a kind of strange song about a guy on the run after shooting his wife or ex-wife, but it's the guitar solo parts that Hendrix is most remembered for. I think he played the guitar with his mouth in more than one live appearance. He also played behind his head. I prefer listening to his stuff as recorded, because that's how I first heard them on the radio in the late 60's, and came to enjoy listening to Hendrix. I'm sure I'm in the minority, because the "off the wall" stuff he did was live. Thanks for choosing to react to Jimi Hendrix!
But he strung the guitar to be correct, after you change the nut, adjust the intonation, so it plays in tune, the only difference is how it looks.
You know, I was in my late teens when I first heard Foxy Lady, and I was sold. But all anyone I knew ever understood about his playing was a right-hand guitar left-handed. I never heard about re-stringing it. Thanks!@@rebeccabailey527
This was the tip of the iceberg. He was just having fun at this gig. Hendrix accomplished more in three years than most do in a lifetime. He singlehandedly redefined the musical vocabulary of the electric guitar and changed music forever.
This song is actually a cover of a Billy Roberts song. But Jimi made it his own too! 'Listen to All Along the Watchtower' next!
Jimi is my musical hero and has been from a very young age. My father had (still has) the very famous double album "Electric lady land" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Ladyland). Whenever he played it little me was mesmerized by Jimi's guitar play. He could do things with a guitar nobody at the time (late 60s) could and it is such a waste of talent him dying at 27 years of age in 1970. What you see in the video is that is indeed chewing gum, which he often did, and playing the guitar with his teeth. Jimi was also a master at using musical feedback (a screeching or humming sound resulting from the return of a fraction of the output signal from an amplifier, microphone, or other device to the input of the same device.).
His performance of the national anthem of the US at Woodstock in 1969 is legendary ( th-cam.com/video/sjzZh6-h9fM/w-d-xo.html). Other songs by Hendrix i could recommend: Purple Haze, Foxey Lady, Voodoo Chile (both the long version and the "slight return" version, Gypsy eyes, Bold as love ... well, I should really suggest to listen to his entire oeuvre.
I am glad you liked it and wish lots of listening joy to Jimi's work. Your reaction and surprise are a joy to watch. ~ Vals
And of course the brilliant Are You Experienced, Little Wing, Highway Chile. By the way, originally there was no "E" in Foxey, on the original version (which I have) it was spelled Foxy, I believe the E was a mis-spelling on an American album which for some reason has stuck.
@@ianbrooke6342 I didn't know this about the extra E in Foxy. I always assumed it was a deliberate spelling. Thank you for this little factoid :)
Electric Ladyland is Dope! One of the best double albums ever.
Same here always wished I could have seen him play, it’s so sad that he dies so early.
Your face when Jimi started playing the guitar with his teeth.. priceless.
This man, he was the real deal, he was one with his guitar, the man had two voices and one those was that guitar.
He inspired pretty much every rock guitarist in the world, directly or indirectly (inspired by a guitarist who was inspired by Jimi).
Sure, after him came guitarists who might do certain things better, but they never will be him.. because he was the first to do it like this.
Dive deeper into his music, Axis Bold as Love would be a good album to start with i think :)
Jimi is considered the #1 most influential Guitarist in History...Followed by Edward Van Halen. At this moment they are both making amazing music in Heaven❤❤
Not followed by Eddie Van Halen but by Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and David Gilmour. Van Halen in fact said that Page and Clapton were his biggest influences.
@@John-re2qw Edward changed the music scene with his playing / expermenting with Pick-ups / Rewiring his amps. As frank Zappa said...Edward Van Halen reinvented the Electic guitar. Hail to the King Edward👑👑🎸🎸 The rest of ur picks are all good blues/pentatonic players
Eddy played a heap of pentatonic. Most of rock is pentatonic
@@jimmyraidjamesEddie Van halen he's nothing specia. It was James Marshall Hendrix who change everything in guitar playing and rock music. He was a universal guitar he can take it anywhere. Eddie Van halen is pop music nothing special about Eddie Van halen 🫵👈
@@neddobrijevic3183 You need to understand music in order to judge and you know nothing about music 😂😂🤣🤣Hendrix was pop / rock / blues music too you foolish boy haha
Jimi is the greatest, so many great albums
No matter the position, orientation of the strings or whether the instrument is right handed or left, he knew where all the notes were.
Genius
❤
He was well known for playing guitar with his teeth when the mood takes him. I've tried and it is possible but it hurt! I saw him live on his first UK tour in 1967
Pink Floyd were on the bill too!
Yes he sang while chewing gum and played guitar with his teeth xD Jimi Hendrix was just on another level.
The Original Guitar Hero. Exactly. You nailed it.
The man,the legend that is Hendrix 👌👌
Jimi was a wizard and he was one with the guitar. You’ve never seen this before and you’ll never see it again.
Yes, with his teeth and if you'll notice, it's a right-handed guitar, meaning that he essentially played it upside down.
Jimi was and for many, will always be, the very best, he still has the #1 spot on my list. You will always see someone walking around with his t shirts, he has become a pop ikon, enjoyed by anyone who listens to him. Try his great cover of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower, tremendous song. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎶
He played with his teeth. One of the things that made Hendrix a really good player is that he had really long fingers . Which made it easy for him to move up and down the neck very easy .
And that sweetheart is why he is the best guitarist ever.....
Jimi can change your life if you have the spirit to feel him. If you truly "feel" him, its a deep rabbit hole of face melting eargasms the deeper you go...
Purple Haze, that's actually what I'm smoking right now 🤣
You hit the nail on the head, Jimi Hendrix is the original guitar hero. This was in 1967 at the Monterey Pop Festival, his band's first US appearance. Jimis' studio songs are better than his live performances, which were often uneven. Please react to Joe Cocker doing "With a Little Help from My Friends", live at The Metropol, 1970, good reaction!
Jimi Hendrix has a scorching version of Chuck Berry's classic song Johnny B. Goode. And his masterclass playing on MACHINE GUN will leave you speechless. Keep going. You're just getting started. And it's only going to get better.
Yes, Machine Gun for sure... As far out as he has ever gone on guitar, and we still haven't caught up..
That version of Johnny B. Good appears in the Hendrix in the West album, a compilation of some of his top live performances, and is incredible. Not to be missed.
His other live masterpiece album, and IMO his greatest display of live musicianship, is Band of Gypsies, on which Machine Gun may be his single greatest performance. Listen to the whole album, but strap yourself in for the second track.
For more Jimi check out Foxey Lady live at the Miami Pop Festival 1968, and Voodoo Child live at Woodstock 1969. I'm sure you will be just as impressed. ✌️
I was lucky enough to see Jimi Hendrix twice (in 1968 and 1969). He just tore the stage down both times. And him playing using his teeth is absolutely real. At the ‘69 show, he ran onto the stage wearing a black silk bodysuit with silver sequins running down his sleeves and pant legs and a red headband. I forgot what he was wearing at the ‘68 show.
Jimi is left handed and plays a right handed guitar backwards and upside down :)
We have been deprived of 53 years of Jimi Hendrix. He would have just gotten better and better, but I guess the Universe had other plans for him. He seemed really exhausted near the end . The very last pictures of him in a London garden are haunting.
Jimi started in blues, but he expanded into psychedelic. LSD played a role in music then. It was second only to reefer in illegal drugs (legal until 1966). Jimi was a terrific guitarist, and his music is still in the heart of many of us still.
And prior to blues he was playing RnB/Soul with The Isley Brothers, and rock n roll with Little Richard
This was recorded 18.06.1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Look for: Woodstock US National Anthem, Purple Haze, All Along The Watchtower, Foxy Lady.
Simple: THE BEST ROCK GUITAR MAN in HISTORY. Greetings from CHILE my sweet lady.
You are so cute. Jimi would have loved you! I met him in 1968, and I saw him play live 3 times. He was the greatest of all time. Unfortunately he died at the age of 27. He was my hero!
She definitely could have been a Hendrix girlfriend.
Jimi once said when he played the "chitlin" circuit before he became a global star if a guitarist couldn't play with his teeth or behind his back, he would probably get killed.
T-Bone Walker could play guitar behind his back, whilst doing the splits onstage. When Jimi came to England, nobody could play like that.
He used those tricks to brilliant effect. Jimi was a fabulous showman.
You just witnessed the greatest guitar God in history!
Indeed, he did treat the guitar as you suggest and he was amazing because of it.
You have to watch All Along the Watchtower , studio version, a cover of Bob Dylans song and easily the best cover of all time. He made it his own.
Thanks a lot for your reaction
❤
His rhythm is kinetic and amazing.
I love your reaction to Jimi playing with his tongue, everyone seems to have the same reaction, I love it! I also think it's funny that he's singing about shooting his old lady, but you notice he, 's chewing gum.
You MUST see Jimi do "Johnny B. Goode"!
Jimi Hendrix started the "guitar hero" persona, he was born to play the guitar, not just like everybody else, but how HE wanted to play the guitar. Jimi essentially liberated the guitar from the simplistic 60's stereotype of 'beat' music, which was essentially just chord playing followed by a jangly 15 second solo. So Jimi played his guitar LOUD, with distortion, wah-wah and other effects that were in their infancy at that time. He would also play it behind his head, with his teeth, rubbing the strings across his mic stand, or his bank of Marshall speaker cabinets. Jimi was an innovator, he created as it were, a psychedelic/blues style of music that was his own. He was a one off, we will never see his like again.
Another aspect of this performance is the era in which it was performed. In 1967, worlds were in collision. The traditional and safe norms were meeting the future. The future was electricity (guitars) - technology - (soon to land on the moon 1969) - music in stereo - television in color - a car in every home - air conditioning. Barely a hint of anything called the internet.
A more hidden aspect of Jimi's brilliance was his impeccable rhythmic 6th sense. His rhythmic phrasing is so smooth, he can jump in and out of time like it's standing still.
Do a full album reaction to his Band of Gypsies album. Mind blowing. I mean, it will be like you never imagined someone could play the guitar that way. Makes Hey Joe seem like a walk in the park.
My favourite Jimi Hendrix tune is "Bold As Love", which shows off his flair for lyrics and songwriting, which complements his next-level guitar playing.
You picked a super legendary artist to react to: Kudos, for his next tune you have to do his rendition of Bob Dylan's " All along The Watch Tower". BTW Jimi practiced for many many years, his like was electric guitar.
Wild Thing from the same Monterey Pop 1967 show is a must. He does summersaults, plays behind his back and burns his guitar. After that he was a legend. Also his version of Johnny B.Goode from Berkeley 1970 is amazing display of guitar flash virtuosity. Can't go wrong with the GOAT
It's Hendrix's the gum chewing him.😎🎸🎸🎸
THE MASTER! IS A GUITAR GOD! 🤘😎
Circa late 1967, an eleven year old kid (me) gets a copy of the "Are You Experienced?" LP by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It changed the way I listened to music. A whole lot of rock musicians changed the way they played guitar. Nobody saw a guitar played like that before, it changed the music scene in the US and around the World.
The Original Guitar Hero 😂 ❤
Best guitarist ever! ♥
original guitar hero..lol, well you proberly dont come across a bigger rock guitar legend then Jimi, you can tell, he lived for that guitar, was very experimental, and i think one guy every rock guitarist look at, and learn from still today, also first mover.. truly a legend..
Check out Jimi playing at Haleakala in Hawaii… at this time he played his new songs with his old songs
One thing to note in his playing, you see and hear all these embellisments hes playing while playing chords, that was normal in R&B guitar playing. His teeth playing and behind the head/back, playing with the elbow, was standard chitlin circuit showmanship. His soloing was firmly in the blues tradition, with a decent bit of jazz.
To white rock/pop audiences that was all revolutionary, because they had never heard the roots of where it all came from.
Yes , he's chewing gum , singing and playing guitar 🎸😉. As far as the song , it's an old folk song but Hendrix made it his own .
Jimi Hendricks has been regarded as the greatest guitarist. FYI. He passed away at 27 years old. Just imagine the breath of music he would have produced had he lived a full life.
27? So young 🥺
"I've never seen anything like that...!"
That was exactly what people said in 1967 to 1970 when Jimi Hendrix was active... 🔥🤘 He's been called the godfather of heavy rock music and shocked the world when he announced his arrival w/ his band - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (w/ the late Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass)... 'Hey Joe' is a cover, first recorded in 1962... Hendrix sang the most famous version.
Doing reactions to Jimi Hendrix will be tricky cos his music is heavily copyrighted on TH-cam... If u can get used to the 60's "retro" sound, u will find his music amazing... his live performances off the charts! ⚡⚡⚡🎸
James Marshall Hendrix was a teen from Seattle when he picked up the guitar and blossomed very quickly... After a stint in the US Air Force, he worked as a live musician, even playing in Little Richard's band. He was discovered by Chas Chandler, bassist of the UK band The Animals and brought to England in late 1966... He formed the trio The Jimi Hendrix Experience and won over British music royalty like Eric Clapton of Cream... Paul McCartney of The Beatles... and Pete Townshend of The Who... Jimi Hendrix played guitar like no one else, using his teeth... playing on his shoulders... and creating guitar techniques & sounds that were revolutionary in the day.
Between 1967 and 1968, the band released 3 major albums - 'Are you experienced?' ... 'Axis: Bold as love'... and 'Electric Ladyland'... which made Jimi Hendrix a star in the US and Europe. His set at Woodstock '69 Festival is considered legendary even today.
Unfortunately, Jimi Hendrix was often ruled by erratic creative impulses, and fell into hard drugs very early... He built his own studio in New York (also named Electric Ladyland) and spent much of 1969 and 1970 recording staggering amounts of new music, but not releasing an album... He also parted ways w/ Redding and Mitchell and worked w/ various musicians in his live band... Because of the studio bills he was racking up, his only option was to tour constantly to keep his income coming in. His drug and alcohol abuse was making him increasingly aggressive at times.
After his final performances in 1970, Jimi Hendrix was found dead by his girlfriend in a bathtub in London, England... He had apparently asphyxiated after throwing up on alcohol and barbiturates at the age of 27.
Tragically, two more musical icons died soon after, both at age 27 - singer Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison, singer of The Doors...
The estate of Jimi Hendrix was given to his father Al, and then his sister Janie... Jimi Hendrix's unreleased studio recordings and live shows were released over decades and his records sold more copies after his passing than when he was alive.
Some classics by Jimi Hendrix - 'Purple haze'... 'The wind cries Mary'... 'All along the watchtower' (Bob Dylan cover)... 'Fire'... 'Voodoo child (slight return)'... 'Foxy lady' ... 'Little wing'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
He wasn't found dead in the bathtub... He was actually alive when the ambulance got him but died shortly thereafter... Its been said if he was in America he would have survived because the paramedics had different training than the English guys...
@@LostMyMojo100 There is no evidence to support ur claim. Hendrix was found unresponsive and attempts to resuscitate him failed... That does not mean he was alive when they found him in a bathtub. He had to be declared dead at the hospital he was taken to.
That's like saying John Lennon did not die after he was shot at his apt. building... 2Pac did not die at the scene where he was shot - he died days later at the hospital.
Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue) and Slash (Guns N' Roses) had also OD'd and had no pulse, but were somehow resuscitated using adrenalin shots... People can be resuscitated from the point of death after an OD or heart failure.
@@sumonjamal1653 .... Well, read the Eddie Kramer and John McDermott book: Setting the Record Straight... You might learn something...
@@LostMyMojo100 R those guys the medical experts or EMT's?
No.
There. Now you've learned something.
If I want stories about Jimi Hendrix, yes... but speculation about his death?
Don't care for it.
Besides, different people recollect the same past differently... 😈

Jimi Hendrix was one of a kind without question.
I used to work with Billy Cox, Jimi's best friend & bass player for Hendrix's Band of Gypsys & re-formed Experience. Can hear little known story of Hendrix's five years of training in Nashville before he hit NY, then went on to England where he became famous if look up Musicians Hall of Fame interview, Billy Cox, Little Known Facts about Hendrix. Can also look up Jimi Hendrix 1965 Night Train. Was his very first tv appearance as a back-up player on a Nashville tv show that became inspiration for later tv mega-hit show, Soul Train.
See ya!
🤘🌎❤
Jimi showed up and ALL the current guitar gods (Clapton, Page, etc.) were shocked and amazed by his playing. Eric Clapton even famously stated that after he saw Hendrix play live he considered quitting because he couldn't imagine competing against Jimi.
The Offspring did a cover of this song. The first time I found out is was Hendrix I was floored.
Jimi's is also a cover
One trick musicians use to keep time is chewing gum. Emerson, Lake & Palmer did it all the time. Back in my days as a drummer, we chewed Beeman's gum as a band. The idea is that you chew gum in time with the music, it's a natural reaction. He did things with a guitar nobody had ever done before and he set standards others have built upon, but I dare say rarely surpass. Much fun to watch Jimi in aaction. I remember the day he died. We were on our way to school when we found out. I did not believe it.
I had no idea about the gum thing! So cool!
I'm guessing you can tap your feet and chew gum at the same time. Beeman's was a nice choice.
@@edhorton2766 It was before "The Right Stuff" when "Chuck Yeager" asked for it. It just happened to be the favorite flavor of the band. I could tap my feet and chew gum, but that was back in the 70's! Don't ask me to do it now. hahahaha
@@InnaSoloMusic Not everybody does it, but ELP were almost always chomping on gum as they played, but a whole lot more instrumental than Jimi. It really works, you subconsciously keep time by chewing. It's not easy to chew off beat.
Interesting. I've always done this without the actual gum. Just keep time by clicking my teeth together. Might have to try gum.
Jimi is who all guitarists are measured.. yet none can or have ever measured up to him.
I cry when I hear Jimi because I feel his pain, that drove his music.
What a cute lil kitty reacted to Hendrix!
"All Along the Watchtower" -- "The Wind Cries Mary" -- "Manic Depression" -- These are musts. Welcome aboard. Cheers.
Jimi is the greatest Guitarist of all time have listened to Jimi as a teenager still have on of his albums and I'm 74 now died way to young 27 yrs in 1970 i believe
That performance was from the Monterey Pop Festival in the 1967 "summer of love". If you haven't already, you MUST react to the song "Wild Thing" from the same concert. The ending will blow your mind.
Played the strings, upside down,,and left handed 🏴🤘
When you hear the leaves version and hear Jimis outstanding conversion , its as epic as all along the watch tower.
Almost anything off of the album _Band of Gypsies_ is great. Some of my personal favorites are "Changes", "Who Knows", "Power of Love", and "Machine Gun".
One of the most fascinating things about Jimi is the fact that he was left handed yet he would play right handed guitars upside down. He didn’t change the strings he didn’t modify anything he would just play
Jimi and Buckethead are the 2 GOATS of the guitar world
I'v read Hendrix never had a guitar lesson in his life nor could he read music but he is considered by many to be the greatest virtuoso of the electric guitar as an instrument. Other people did some of tricks before him for example guitar playing behind the head and Pete Townsend smash guitars up on stage before Hendrix but I believe Hendrix was the first person to set light to a guitar on stage during a live performance. He is also the greatest proponent of controlled feedback during a performance.
Nobody will ever come close to playing feedback like Jimi. Welcome to Jimi's magic.
the hendrix foundation no longer allows jimi on yt as they arent being paid but in the monterey concert he plays a whole song with the guitar behind his back - this was his first ever concert in america as jimi hendrix - hey joe was just being played on the radio and he was a star in england
Nice one Anna, this didn't end like that, it's from the Monterry pop festival late sixties or early seventies. He continues on lighting his guitar on fire and leaving most people who watched it stunned. Love you're doing these reactions, more please
She needs to watch that concert, it will freak her out!
