If you say anything about Jimi, he was extremely humble, and it wasn't false humility, it was genuine. Jimi never needed to have people say he was the best, or this or that. He was always talking up the other guy as being so good. I' m from Seattle (Jimi's hometown) so I'm biased I admit it, but he did things with a guitar that nobody had seen or heard ever before. And he was the first to do them.
Ya! Jimi stayed real and he stayed humble. Not easy to do when you're a star and a genius!
Remarkably, in the span of about 18 months from early 1969 to mid 1979 Eric Clapton produced three (four) albums, Blind Faith, Eric Clapton and Layla and other Assorted Lovesongs (two album set), all of which were influenced by wildly varied styles and none of it sounded anything like Jimi.
Excellent points.
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend musicguru ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
When I was a kid, 6th grade, I had started taking drum lessons from a guy that taught guitar as well . One of the other students was taking guitar lessons from the same guy...Well I happened to have a copy of Ozzy's No More Tears, he had a copy of Jimi Hendrix The Ultimate Experience...We traded and I still own the CD today. Hendrix was so good. And maybe the best trade ever for me. In my top 5 favorite guitar players. David Gilmore though is more my style
Hendrix is the greatest electric guitarist that ever lived.
@@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz Ya man, he was great!. Wish we could have seen where he would have gone past age 27
Clapton was respectable,took about a year I remember after Jimi passed,and then people started using his ideas,same with EVH about 1980,and you couldn,t go into a bar without someone tapping away,Holdsworth,Beck,not so much,Clapton can hit beautifull notes,but he had no surprises in the 70,s,good for radio play I guess
How come he didn't meet him at that concert? Also I can't see Jimi using that lefty anyway on stage because the upside down strat was Jimi's trademark
Hendrix played a right handed stratocaster strung upside down.. he then played it left handed, even the whammy was on the top of the guitar. Maybe Eric thought Jimi would play the left handed stratocaster left handed
When you take a right handed guitar and "string it upside down" then play it left handed, it becomes a left handed guitar except for the the cut out which does not allow your fingers to reach the very top of the bottom of the guitar where the super high notes are. When you buy a left handed strat or any other guitar it is strung for lefties at the factory. Eric understood what Jimmy was playing. He knew that by giving him a factory made lefty guitar it would be appreciated by Jimi. There were not many lefty guitars made back then. We lefties would have to take a right handed one and re-string in and play it left handed. Jimmy would have really appreciated and PLAYED that wonderful gift.
Maybe Jimi would’ve gotten a right-handed whammy bar and fitted it like a SRV strat, but in reverse.
@@9344music5ehm, not exactly; the higher tuned strings get shorter and vice versa 😊
I wonder what Jimi would have thought about Clapton's racist rants at his concerts?
That first story is misinterpreted, although oft repeated. Jimi was a guest player with Cream, and started cutting heads. Cream was a stand there and play band, much like the Allman Brothers. The appropriate thing to do for a guest player is to stand there and play. Not hump the mic. Not hump the guitar. Not try to show up the band that invited you on stage. Jimi behaved like an ass, and Clapton was pissed. It was massively disrespectful. That's the explanation I've heard, and Clapton was always too much of a gentleman to contradict the accepted version of the story. I could be entirely wrong, and don't remember where I read that version, but as an explanation it makes far more sense than the accepted story.
Fascinating take. It's enough to make me want to do a full video on the incident.
@@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz i'm looking on Google trying to find some back up for my version of the story. And I can't. And for the life of me, I can't remember where I heard that. There only seems to be two sources that I can find. The first is Chaz Chandler, who was Hendrix's manager and had incentive for the story that was spread. And the other is Clapton. and he does not contradict the story. He seems to back it up. So I could be totally wrong. Or maybe where I heard it was totally wrong. It just rang true to me, but I guess it could be totally untrue.
@@scottstambaugh8473 Those accounts would be the basis of my video. But what you said has a ring of truth to it, even without a source. Ginger Baker mentioned that Hendrix went through his whole routine when he jammed with Cream. I'm sure there's an element of truth to what you're suggesting and it's a fascinating angle. If Hendrix would've just stood there like a statue like he did during the famous "Machine Gun" incident I doubt it would have had the same atomic bomb impact. Especially in buttoned-up Britain. Let me know if you find anything a bit more solid; I'm gonna dig around a bit on this one myself. 👍
What happened to that guitar?
That's a great question! Maybe I'll do some research on that!
Mr Eric Clapton should write a political parody cover on "hey joe"
guitarists share guitars with their friends. It's not rare.
Clapton smokes Hendrix. Hendrix brought the visual to rock guitar. That's about all. He was great but nothing comopared to Eric
You can't say he smokes Jimi that totally False. Even Eric would say your Wrong. They are just different styles. I've seen them both live and would say I liked Rory Gallagher live over both of them. I wouldn't say Rory smoked them both just I like his style of playing better.
They are both excellent guitarists. The "visual" that Hendrix brought, while amazing, doesn't mean anything. I've spent many hours listening to, but not watching, Hendrix play. Hendrix sounds nothing like Clapton. Clapton doesn't "smoke" Hendrix. Not even close. Listen to which ever you like best, but don't disrespect the other. Both are great. It's not a competition.
@@jimiplayscobo5877 Fair enough.
I'm more into Larry Carlton, Frank Gambale, Mike Stern, Robbin Ford, so on and 10000 others who are all as good as the rest.
I do wish Hendrix was still alive. I do feel he is a good rock writer, player, and singer.
@@doggy7210 Agree. It's all opinions. I guess part of my "smoke him" attitude is there's decades of Clapton doing many styles of music with everyone and Hendrix just coming out of the gate.
I've seen bands have a great song or album and cant follow it up. I wish Hendrix were still alive. He'd have added brass and more of a jazz influence I believe in time which would have been even better than his out the gate music.
@@abc-yv2js Jimi's biggest fault was tuning when playing live. Soon as he hit his whammy bar forget it lol. If he had the Strat's of today Who Knows? I've seen and heard tons of bands from Jazz to Blues to Rock. I seen Jaco Pastorius playing with Herbie Hancock what a stunning Bass solo!
I seen Roland Kirk play three Saxes at the same time. The list goes on forever lol
