      David, try Johnny B Goode at Berkley. It is on You Tube. Astonishing! And something you have never heard before? Try: Brain Jones Jimi Hendrix There Ain't Nothing Wrong With That. If you plug this into You Tube it will come up with a few renditions. Go for the one with Brian Jones in costume in black and white. That's a good one. This is a beautiful haunting song, and who would think to use a sitar in a pop song? Hendrix, the genius, that's who. Yes.....singer is Noel Redding....Jimi's bassist.

    Psychedelic guitar genius. Many legendary guitar players but Jimi was unique in that psychedelic genre from the 60s. Many tried to copy but there is never another. I played his version of our National Anthem for my Mom one time. Half ways through, I looked over and she was weeping. When it was done, I asked her why. She just said.... so beautiful. Now my Mom was born in 1924. She didn’t always get my music but this needed no words. Gone too soon Jimi. ❤️

    Often voted as the best guitar player of all time. Now you can see why! You GOTTA see his performance of The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock. Absolutely classic and helped to define music in the late 1960's!!
    Alas, we lost him at age 27. We can only IMAGINE what he would have been able to do if he lived longer! He was a bright star and burned out way too soon.

    What I find most interesting about Jimi Hendrix is that all of the devices we have today to augment the sound of guitars to make cool effects didn't exist then. They were invented so that other guitarists could do what Jimi did without them. Amazing.

    I saw Jimi play 4times. In 68,I saw him play here in New Orleans, and in 69 at Woodstock, in 70at Memphis and a month later at Atlanta Pop Fest with the fireworks 🎆 in the background for the 4th of July. He played Atlanta for hours . In New Orleans after the show , the crowed shoved so hard by the dressing room projecting me off the bench and into Jimi's chest and down to the ground . I held my head in fear of police night sticks. I noticed crushed velvet moccasin shoes ( Jimi's feet) .I was only 18years old then (now 70), and I felt a hand grab my elbow . It was Jimi . He flung me up on the bench again, like a rag doll. He was very strong. He then went nose to nose with me and said "Stay Free , Little Brother, Stay Free ! . He then ran to limo hanging out the window shooting the ☮️ peace sign at us as they drove away.

      Dick Dale and Albert King also played right handed guitars, left handed without changing the strings, nut, or grooves.
      Hendrix also played a right handed accordion left handed and upside down.

      Jimi had synesthesia. It is a condition where you see music as colours. I have it and to me a purple haze is a constant just under low constant beat with the other highs and lows going between white and black and the tempo changes it from waves to flashes. He would describe to the band I want some more red or other colour in that. Emotion brightens the colours.

    When the Isley Brothers first witnessed the Beatles taking off the number they had popularized first ('Twist and Shout') on The Ed Sullivan Show, there was no immediate panic about the British Invasion. Because their guitarist - had he stuck around - was the 21 year-old James Marshall (born Johnny Allen) Hendrix. You sometimes wonder how these people manage to sit below the radar for so long.

    Hendrix floored everyone who saw him. When he first played in England, some of the guitar greats were in attendance, including Eric Clapton. Hendrix tore into a version of [Howlin’ Wolf’s] ‘Killing Floor’ and plays it at breakneck tempo. Chas Chandler - who was helping to manage Hendrix went backstage after Eric Clapton left in the middle of the song (which he had yet to master himself); Clapton was furiously puffing on a cigarette and telling Chas: “You never told me he was that fucking good.”

    This was a few miles down the road from where I live & not far from the Allman Brothers Big House & the birthplace of the godfather of Rock n Roll Lil Richard, July 3-5 1970 with over 400,000 people attending in the very tiny town of Byron Georgia (pop 1300 in 1970)! There were many great bands there for those 3 days including Allman Brothers, Chambers Brothers, Grand Funk, B.B. King, Mountain, 10 Years After, Johnny Winter! This was also the largest audience that Jimi performed in front of & sadly he only did 13 more concerts in 2 months, his last one in Germany (my birth home) September 6 twelve days before he died...RIP 11/27/1942-9/18/1970, he would be 79 this year - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS ✌️☮️

    This was actually from This Isle of Wight Festival in August of 1970.
    Tragically, he'd be gone over the rainbow bridge in less than a month. He'd been through a lot. Exhausted, he misjudged his intake of wine and barbiturates. His girlfriend couldn't wake him up and called for an ambulance. The responders made him sit up. He didn't OD, he choked to death on his own regurgative matter.

    Understand, the guitar to Jimi is just a tool. He passes the music from himself to you over the tool. But this man has learned to use that tool like nobody else you have ever seen or heard. Every waking hour he would have that guitar strapped on. He ate breakfast with his guitar on. He went to the loo with his guitar strapped on. Liked the echo effect in the loo! That's how you get this good on guitar. You work at it until the tool is no longer an obstacle at all to expressing yourself and your music. The tool becomes part of you as a musician. Jimi was the first guitarist to make the guitar talk. Watch his rendition of Sunshine of Your Love on The Lulu show. You will see what I mean. And yes.....I saw Jimi live more than once. And once you have done that you never ever forget him. This man did things with guitar that nobody had even dreamed of, or dreamed was possible. He was incredible. I miss him tremendously.

    You can divide rock into two eras: before Hendrix and after Hendrix.
    If you ask a large number of rock guitarists "Who influenced you?" the name you hear more often than any other is Jimi Hendrix.

    I have wondered whether there would have been more African-American interest in rock music if Jimi hadn't died so young. He was such a huge talent.

    I was just a baby, when we lost Jimi. You've barely scraped the surface of his talent. Yes, all great guitarists took notes from Jimi. SRV, Santana, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes to name a few. See his live performance in Monterey, Woodstock,etc. He was left handed, playing a right handed guitar in many different techniques that I won't spoil it for you 😉 AMAZING.

    He's playing a right-hand guitar left-handed. That means that all of his fingering is both upside down and backward. It's amazing that he was able to teach himself to do that at all, not to mention behind the head. Plus Clapton and Vaughn couldn't keep up with him.

      Jimi strung the guitar correctly but he did use a RH strat, meaning that the tuning knobs were below the neck of guitar instead of above the neck where they should be located.
