Very beautiful, inspiring. I think back, remembering how people how people would discourage me when I was young. I'm still doing. Thank you for putting that up.
Big fan here. We had the soundtrack of the 73 Hendrix movie and of course, I saw it later many times. "We lived above Joyce's House of Glamor." Billy Cox from that movie talking about their post service days. your talk, history drove my head to the Hendrix song Highway Chile. It was the 5th album which I bought in Sept. 72 War Heroes.
Sincerity is a rare thing these days. As a lifelong tube amp addict I wholeheartedly agree that real tube tone cannot be replaced with the latest doodad. Great video!
Thank you, that's a nice compliment and I appreciate it. I'm definitely in your camp on the tube amp issue...it has come to my attention that can be a bit of a sensitive subject online but we keep on doing what we love anyhow!
Hi Sean, Your content and your passion for your craft have always been top notch. You are an honorable guy. You inspire me, an older guy who has never earned a cent playing the instrument, to keep practicing so I can finally get a couple of Chet pieces under my belt. My favorite YT Guitar channel. Thx for sharing that Jimi was no overnight sensation but a hard working determined musician. Take care, Mike
Hi Mike, thank you! I am glad to have helped inspire you to keep at it. Keep going and you'll get those Chet pieces under your belt! I'm still trying to do the same!
I live about an hour from Nashville and I too am a Jimi fanatic. Made the trip to the Jefferson St Museum a few years ago. The curator Lorenzo is a wonderful guy and said he saw Jimi walk down the street with his guitar on his back a few times. Also met Billy Cox at The Belcourt Theatre when he was there promoting the Live in Maui box.
David Olney…. We were in a short film together that never saw the light of day. I ran into him at Kimbros a few years before he died. He was playing a gig with Grant-Lee Phillips. Nice job. Don’t quit.
Respect. School sent me home on 19 Sept 1970, because i was wearing a black tie. Not school uniform, said Brother Peter, aka Bambam... I tried to explain that it was in respect of Jimi's death. It cut no ice. Great information
I don’t know who you are, but I enjoyed listening to you a LOT. Everything you said has the ring of truth and I loved your feeling for things of value. Plus of course, your admiration for Jimi Hendrix. This is one video that I’m going to listen to again. There are several things that I took away from this, especially the message about not giving up when it gets tough and to plow through the difficult times - although your words were much better - which is another reason I want to play this again. As for Jimi Hendrix’s playing: it took me a while before I realised that the feedback and distortion represented emotion and that was when everything clicked. I can’t ’casually’ listen to his music like I can a lot of stuff. I still don’t feel anyone has ever come close to his emotive playing. I have to stop now. You don’t want to hear this. But: I really appreciate your caring about this and you spoke very well. I hope that you’ve done more videos that I can enjoy. Thank you for doing this. All the best.
Thank you for watching, and I love hearing from viewers so no concern there at all! I actually really appreciate hearing your thoughts and am sincerely glad you found the video useful. I can't casually listen to certain music either and agree about the emotive aspect. And I'm not a famous guitar player, just a guitar player, so 99.9% of everyone wouldn't know me, but that's cool because another thing I don't like is putting on airs. I'm just a guy who plays guitar and loves doing so! Really glad you found the channel and welcome on board. The channel is still finding its way but I hope that there can be something here for anyone and I appreciate your kind words.
Sam Pugh owned Madison music,(RIP) was an old friend of Billy and Jimi from their time together in Clarksville. Billy came in the shop all the time in the 80s. I was a lil 14 year old Eddie Van Halen clone,that Sam and Luther Turner Mires ,kind took under their wing. One day Billy came in and everyone gravitated to him...I just kept on shredding. Sam came up later and said" Jamie,you know who that is don't you? I said no sir...should I ? He then sat me down and told me all about Ft Campbell,Cox and him jamming. He told me about Jimis Run with Little Richard. Sam told me the last time he ran into Jimi,was on Broadway...he said,I looked up and saw Jimi walking on the other side of the road,he yelled HEY Jimi and waved,Jimi waved back at em. Sam said that was 65.....the next thing he knew,Jimi was on TV doing Hey Joe. Billy lived in East Nashville back then.,in the 80-90s,I used to see him jogging all the time,and tell people,that's there is Jimi Hendrix bassist...nobody believed me lol
A long video and a great video. I have been to printers alley a few times . Saw country music solo acts . Cool to think Jimi walked those streets . Had breakfast at the copper kettle ? Is that a place ? Or did I get the name wrong ? I jammed with Reggie Wooten in Nashville at the ? Can’t remember the club name
Yes, Copper Kettle is a place! The one I know of is on Granny White but there very well may be another location (not sure). I'm guessing you probably jammed with Reggie Wooten at 3rd & Lindsley if it was back in days when The Wooten Brothers had their regular gig there. Glad you enjoyed the video. It makes it all worthwhile to hear from folks who appreciate it. Thank you in return.
Hey brutha... don't get bummed that the tube algorithm sux... I found your video and as a lifelong hendrix fan I enjoyed it thoroughly... kind of a hidden story from hendrix early days that are mostly glossed over. Makes sense to understand better WHT he reached out to Billy cox and Larry Lee later in his career. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate both your kind words and also the encouragement. I agree with you about when he reached out to Billy Cox & Larry Lee later on, and always found that a bit moving.
Indeed. The Harlem years are a gap in my history/timeline/studies that I hope someday to find someone who can shine more light on. Thanks for watching.
His girlfriend Fayne talked a lot about him playing in Harlem clubs. Doesn't seem too mysterious. Obviously, the lack of any traction in Harlem made Jimi head to the Village.
Sam Pugh told me about his friendship with Billy and Jimi...Sam owned Madison Music...Billy was in there alot ,in the 80s. I skipped school and Sam let me hang and play.
Billy used to come into Madison music all the time,Sam Pugh(rip) the owner,was friends with both Billy and Jimi. Sam was in the Army with them both. Billy came in all the time and I didn't speak....Sam said Jamie,you know who that is don't you? I said nope ..in told me all about their time together. I used to see Billy jog,in East Nashville for years... point him out to people,and say....that's Jimi Hendrix bassist. Nobody believed me lol
I stumbled onto this excellent video on The Gear Page. Inspiring, to say the least. Jimi apparently spent some time playing clubs in my hometown of Evansville, Indiana as well. All his post Seattle years, until meeting Chas Chandler, are woefully under documented. Wish there were more videos like this to fill in all the gaps. Thanks
Thank you very much, both for the kind/complimentary words, and for the subscribing. And also, I want to add a very specific thank you for your acknowledgment on the comment I pinned! Didn't want to feed the trolls so I didn't reply further but saw your support and as I get this going and learn to deal with trolls, it meant a lot to see your support.
@@thefretboardplayground FWIW, I've found the best way to deal with trolls is give them a heart on their comment without any other text, and move on. Nothing bothers trolls more than you not giving a shit. Keep doing what you do and the good people will find you. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my posts. Your class shows.
I actually learned about the Twin Twelve while researching this video and looked up listings. I was tempted but resisted the urge to track one down. I'm glad to hear a first-hand description of it from you and to know that the impression I got of it from that Mercury Magnetics article is accurate. Thanks for watching!
I love Danelectro but any Fender cranked will deliver a pretty modern sound… if you want to hear what a Danelectro twin twelve sounds like being beaten to death, Beware Of The Dog By Hound Dog Taylor And The House Rockers. Also You Tube has Them live at the Ann Arbor Blues Festival
Awesome, thank you for the tip --- I sincerely love this stuff as much as anyone and wasn't familiar with that particular track (but do love Hound Dog Taylor) or that it was recorded with a Twin Twelve. I'll check it out for sure!
Jimi spouted some prophetic items in his lyrics, as did others, unbeknownst to themselves. I'm inclined to think he was off'd by occultists. Some evil people were circling him shortly before his demise. The Son of God has returned btw
I subscribed just because this guy seems cool and I like his ADHD style (I'm not making fun of him I kind of talk stream of consciousness... So I'm told) *but quick thing re. Hendrix history: I thought he stopped playing with Little Richard because the ladder said he was upstaging him by playing guitar with his teeth etc...*no business and art will never play nice at least underground ART ..they did the same thing to Cleveland's music scene... Screw the businesses.. capitalism blows!!

Tell us how Jimi learned to play double stops in Nashville or just shut up.
There's one in every crowd.
@@thefretboardplayground Sadly, these days, it's most of the crowd. Thanks Anti-social media.

I agree, I just know you're channel will grow, because it's excellent.
Billy Cox said, " Jimi put 25yrs of playing in just 5 yrs in Nashville,constantly practicing"...
I live about an hour from Nashville and I too am a Jimi fanatic. Made the trip to the Jefferson St Museum a few years ago. The curator Lorenzo is a wonderful guy and said he saw Jimi walk down the street with his guitar on his back a few times. Also met Billy Cox at The Belcourt Theatre when he was there promoting the Live in Maui box.
I love Jimi so much anything I can learn about him, thank you so much
Hello just came across your channel. What an amazing story. I like most anything with music and gear.
Hi Larry, glad you're here. Welcome aboard! Hope you get a lot of value out of it as the channel unfolds. Thank you for watching!
I knew Gary,a little.He liked the still I took of Jimi waving while walking off stage ,Berkeley,2nd show.
David Olney…. We were in a short film together that never saw the light of day. I ran into him at Kimbros a few years before he died. He was playing a gig with Grant-Lee Phillips. Nice job. Don’t quit.
Thank you! I can't say David and I knew one another but he definitely recognized me and remembered my name. I thought he was a genius!
I love it!!!
Thank you for this.
You're quite welcome, thank you for watching!
This was very cool. Love it
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank You for Sharing:)

i was in rock block playing Villanova Junction one time and Gary was impressed that i (kinda) knew that one. I didn't know he'd passed.
Real cool!

I knew Gary. Everything you said totally sounds like Gary with the many times I talk to him.. I met him at rock block guitars. Solid video.
So nice to hear from someone else who knew Gary too. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for making this

What's even less talked about is Jimi's life while living in Harlem.

A couple of the Hendrix books suggest that being underpowered in that contest is why Jimi went for maximum loudness from then on.
