His Woodstock rendition of Villanova Junction is like a religious experience. The most beautiful piece ever done on electric guitar. Many overlook it, but it was perfection!
@@BritIronRebel even without the star spangled banner. Woodstock was still one of his best performances ever, if not the best. Totally under rated for sure
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.
I Go to his memorial at a half dozen times a year. My parents are buried right across the roadway in the cemetery. If you're a fan Greenwood cemetery in Renton, Washington is a must trip.
One of my favorite human beings “ We all knew he was just this “force of nature” World will never see his like again - BB King Coming from BB KING! Enough said yes 🎵🎶😎
@@billcope9476 Hi Bill , I don't mean to rub it in , however there were two Atlanta Pop Festivals in a row each year at July 4th , I was there twice ! 69 and 70 !

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. ❤️
@Mainecoonlady what a wonderful story. Music crosses ALL genres and ages. My mother were born in the 20s also and learned through us to appreciate the power of the performance.
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 him live. Two hours of thousands of people sitting there with their jaws hanging open. You couldn't believe it even while you were watching him do it.
If you notice he is a left hand guitar player but he does not use a left hand guitar. He used a right hand guitar and flipped it the other way. Jimi Hendrix is a legend!
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.
Bonjour Hello JAYY ,Jimmy Hendrix is a legend one of the 5 best guitarist of all time, for me is the first one best ever. Thank you so much for your musical choice reaction 🎶. Hope you are in good shape and good mood too. GOD bless you and your family too.Take care be safe. Many Kissses. Tony from France
@Jacque Sorry, Hendrix did play with upside down strings. He could play it either way and even right handed if he had to. 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.
Untill Digital samplers ,synthesizers and drum machines are put away and a guitar is picked up there will never be another Jimi Hendrix ..what a legend ..r.i.p
Look at the size of his hands. That's a big part of why he was able to do what he did. He could literally bend the guitar to his will with those big bear paws.
He was actually ambidextrous like I am which really makes us even minded & even handed rather than one dominant side of the brain & hand & it also gives us a more creative mind & that's a big reason he gave us the great music he did
What the fuck are you people talking about! Jimi was left handed, hence the right handed guitar strung upside down!! A big innovation of his was using his thumb to hit the lo E string, giving him flexibility while playing E shape chords.
@@MikeB12800 haha he was not left handed, he was both handed dingleberry! He wrote right handed so does that make him left handed? I use both of my hands equally just as he did! You would know this if you were ambidextrous & knew about Jimi which you obviously dont! His father Al even talked about that so go take a Midol & calm your ovaries down
You Know, I can imagine Jimi Hendrix with all gifted talent , Sometimes I wonder if the Tremendous pressure to perform at that Level , people clinging on you like no ones business , Whhh.weee , His Life was Short - But He Left A Great Legacy , His Guitar playing still captures people around the world , 51 years ago Later , REST IN PEACE MR. JIMI HENDRIX !!!!!
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.
A good friend of mine, about 10 years older than I am, was at the Atlanta festival. He said the entire thing was great, what he can remember of it anyway. He did remember jimi's performance. He said it cut through the LSD and left a blister on his mind. He was not mad (definitely not) with the entire show.
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.”
Ooohh, I can,t get enough of seeing Jimi Hendrix perform , every since 1969 At Woodstock , I and some friends where lucky enough to make the trip , it was crazy , a lot of great musicians , there ICONS now : I No one thought that Woodstock Concert would be a great part of the 1960,s historical moments in time ,Our parents and older generation was against it !!!
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 ✌️☮️
Amazing : I would never get enough of watching Mr. JIMI HENDRIX Performances : The Guy was possessed in playing that Stratocaster !!!!I also like Stevie Rah Vaughn , Jimmy Paige of Led Zeppelin And Eddie Van Halen :: But Jimi Hendrix was a Freak of Nature Period !!!!
Jimi Hendrix was a master manipulator of the whammy bar, that metal stick attached to the bridge of his Fender Stratocaster. He'd bend it around to stretch the strings and wrangle some new sounds from his guitar. A true Guitar God.
I absolutely love seeing your reactions to Jimi Hendrix's videos! I grew up listening to Jimi's music and it inspired me to start playing guitar a few years back and I'm left handed and I also can't read notes or sheet music. He (Jimi Hendrix) was so gifted and influential musically.. I subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing more of your Jimi Hendrix reaction videos in the future! Take care and stay safe!
Whatcha him closely , and when he says Kiss The Sky " he gives the sky a kiss. And when he says " Up Or Down " he goes up & down. Same goes for he says " Happy Or In Misery " you see him happy & sad while playing 🎸
The Jimi Hendrix Experience He is my Guitar’s Teatcher I learn to play from that video long time ago purple haze Atlanta yes I had many concert in VSD and DVD vidéo it was really cool to learn from that live concert specially Atlanta, the wild angel, Woodstock, Berkley, and the Rainbow Bridge hendrix’s movie .... WooW .... we had a great time .... without forgetting his Big Friend Frank Zappa ..... that is the way how we learn to play Guitar 🎸 thanks Jimi Thanks Frank
The Atlanta Pop Festival was Jimi's last live performance in the US. If you want to see his full performance, check out the video Jimi Hendrix - Electric Church.
Jimi was left handed, he played a right handed guitar restrung for a left handed person. He didn't re-tune the pick-ups. That is part of what gave him his unique sound.
@@chip2139 its jimi, not Jimmy. And you cant retune pick ups. He flipped the nut but the poles for the pickups were opposite giving the wild twang on the treble
"all that talent on his shoulders" Well said, and it can be said that said talent killed him too..just think of how different the music world would be today if he was still with us. I think he'd be in his 80's about now
I was too young to see Jimi live BUT I wasn't too young to listen to his musice being played on the radio in the late sixties and early seventies. Hendrix and Clapton were two of a kind back then.
Always liked Jimi Hendrix my mother told me when I was about 2yrs old that she would go for a walk with her sister in Barns in london and would walk passed the Olympic studio’s and see Jimi Hendrix going inside
I always wish the technical ability to record was around during this time in history. Can you imagine what you would truly be hearing. I did see him live!!!!
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 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.
NOW YOU KNOW WHY STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS SO AWESOME BECAUSE OF JIMI !! JIMI WAS AND IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST GUITARIST EVER TO ME!! 🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸😍😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥
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.
Jimi didn’t play the guitar, he was the guitar. Try some Hendrix at Woodstock, it will blow your mind
His Woodstock rendition of Villanova Junction is like a religious experience. The most beautiful piece ever done on electric guitar.

@@BritIronRebel even without the star spangled banner. Woodstock was still one of his best performances ever, if not the best. Totally under rated for sure

Jimi Hendrix was awesome! He absolutely defined an era.
Imagine the music he could have put out if he had not died so young. Huge loss.
“The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.”
"died so young" - the "27" club: Morrison, Joplin, Cobain, Jimi ....... I know there are others
if only drugs never existed.
I Go to his memorial at a half dozen times a year. My parents are buried right across the roadway in the cemetery. If you're a fan Greenwood cemetery in Renton, Washington is a must trip.
Thank goodness Jimi Hendrix didn't live long enough to be playing the Super Bowl. "Pepsi sponsors Jimi Hendrix with Gwen Stefani!!!!"

" Voodoo Chile"!!! Essential Hendrix. Unreal.
Hendrix was just too cool for words!
Hendrix frequently plays rhythm with one hand and lead with the other, at the same time, on one guitar!
On a right-handed guitar flipped over with the strings upside down!!!
@Jacque Sorry, Hendrix did play with upside down strings. He could play it either way and even right handed if he had to.
Dick Dale and Albert King also played right handed guitars, left handed without changing the strings, nut, or grooves.

When the great play you hear a direct connection to their soul and spirit. The unspeakable becomes clear.

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.
The best ever guitarist the world has seen. He came and left too quickly but he was here!
Guitar GOD!
Imaginez, à l'époque on pouvait entendre ce morceau en France dans tous les bars possédant un juke-box, bonjour l'ambiance!

I regret to this day that I didn't get to see Jimi live.
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.
NOW YOU KNOW WHY STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS SO AWESOME BECAUSE OF JIMI !! JIMI WAS AND IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST GUITARIST EVER TO ME!! 🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸😍😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥
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.
