"Can I just do it one more time?"
You can do it 1000 times, I'm not going anywhere.
i know this is an old comment but it brought some tears.
I've started to take his techniques as inspiration for my guitar practice and it has completely changed my perspective of looking at this instrument. What a legend
Mike S me too 🥺♥️
"I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes." - Jimi Hendrix
"Can I do it one more time?" Off camera voice "Yea" Agrees with the off camera voice.....
People usually criticize his vocals but when you hear it from a blues perspective, his voice is exactly what you want.
It's not about the technique. That's what makes it so good. The blues was never about all that perfection classical musicians and jazz guys are into. It's about a level of feeling that those genres don't focus on.
@@aqualili perfectly stated
He used to listen Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. He studied the roots.
I never heard/seen his voice criticised. Everything is perfect 😊
who on earth criticized his voice my man? give me names and ill make sure they dont say anything abt it again
This looks like it was recorded in heaven
Underrated comment
S. Peter was the cameraman.
It was recorded in 1971 so yeah probably
It was recorded in heaven ! And the proof is the voice answering who is God himself... Still shocked and amazed by Jimi's talent and creative spirit. He doesn't even reply to Jimi at the end because he lacks words !
"don't waste all that film there, stop it for a second!" what a legend
Luke Quinlan I have literally never understood what he was saying until reading this
@@MrAdster11 haha me and my mate spent a long time trying to figure it oue
thank you for " wasting " all that film
Then Boom! on the spot he changes up a Bit and Kicks Ass. What a Mind, what a talent.
Jimi Hendrix is not a guitar player, he is a force of nature
Who needs to read music when you canplay like this.
Jack Bruce said that. Clapton was a master guitar player, but Eric was a guitar player, Jimi was a force of nature
king guitarrr
Jimmie as the greatest im65 yrs old and still love him hope to see him in heaven.
PotatoeCookies did you ever see him live?
Blues is like playing chess, it's easy to learn the moves but takes a lifetime to master
Took Jimi only a couple of years though.
RodTheClan I guess he played off and on growing up then really got into it in the army, 101st airborn I think. From there he took off, got high, got into to rock and with his blues background and awesome natural talent, xtra long fingers, and pitch perfect ear, he just blew the rock world away... That's why he's considered one of the greatest ever.
Bmac Why a lifetime? For that matter - the sooner you can start putting in the hours of study the better, and that's not exactly an easy endeavour. It's difficult. For either.
Bmac I feel like people who say stuff like that are pretty full of crap. Many of the most influential blues musicians were already making waves in their 20's/30's. Idk if your definition of "mastery" is different from mine or what, but it seems like your logic there could apply to pretty much any skill.
Well, it's taking me a lifetime anyway ...
The “don’t waste that film there” is fucking beautiful. What an honest down to earth guy. He was concerned with wasting film not even aware of his own beauty
Cameraman did him dirty, but it still turned out amazing
listen you dummies... back when things were filmed with actual film it was a concern to not waste film on non A roll content.
Can we just appreciate his outfit?
noah barragan psychedelic pimp comes to mind
Can we just appreciate how he looks in general? Anywhere?
No regular guy can coordinate amazing clothes like that. It's to perfection. I'm feeling he had an artistic eye plus enlisted the help and knowledge of foxy ladies. One interviewer mentions a seamstress Jimi was seriously chatting up. It sounded like she brought him clothes to look at that day.
I went to England in 1978 and found the most amazing clothes, the styles of hair, clothes, makeup were so creative and never made it to the USA.
I'll have to research his style. Someone must have written a book on it by now...?
He looks like a Final Fantasy character.
It was the 60s, awesome times
how can you not love Jimi?
+drdotislovinlife He was rubbish.
+Kodiak and Grizzly Bears Speak for yourself, but not for me. You might be looking for the usual technical stuff. Jimi was a musician, not just a guitarist. And he did have a very good grasp of technique, but he never let it get in his way. Technique is one thing any musician has to learn, whether she/he is in blues, jazz, rock, classical, etc.,and it is important, but it's just a road to what you want to say. Jimi created us a new destination. (And, yes, I was a classical musician, but I always loved Jimi Hendrix.
+Carol McAlpine
Technique is a means to an end, but it is not an end in itself. Hendrix understood this, but many musicians don't. Also, the introduction to "Little Wing" shows he was a master of technique, but he only used it when he needed to. The introduction to that song is pure genius.
Leeland Whitted
What rubbish are you blabbering about. Hendrix hadn't any guitar techniques at all. There are millions of guitarist being superior to Hendrix. Hendrix was ballsed up. A good soldier, though.
+Leeland Whitted I agree, genius. The first time I heard the intro to Little Wing it left me stunned and bewildered. Or dazed and confused. I'd not heard anything remotely like it, and I knew the work of Page, etc. Similarly, the first time I heard Purple Haze I had an out of body experience, and Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) blew my mind, and when I listen to All Along the Watchtower I still see a Monet - it is aural art. He was a virtuoso and creative genius: still the greatest rock guitarist by light years.
worried about wasting film, if he only knew...
Legitimately heart breaking.
😂
@Ben Welch being big , bold & brash, I would love to go back in time (with my super duper Samsung smartphone & a pocketfull of 256gb micro sd's to video everything) and be his big brother to influence him & keep him safe from too much excess & bad people.
@@aaronsmith5433 Very Impressive
No, Jimi was a perfectionist, he wanted it to be perfect, OCD, thats what made him so great !
Imagine the greatest musician in the history of mankind asking you for permission to continue playing
😅😅😅😅
he was endlessly humble...not your typical rock star.
David Bowie never said
@@ahmadfaizarmianosyah4099 who?
I love Hendrix but I would not go so far as calling him the greatest musician of all time
It's rumored that Hendrix's "Unplugged" album is locked up somewhere in the desert at Area 51.
GBeret83 black gold
So that’s the real reason everybody went there.
Funny
ua-cam.com/video/cjbQZXyZ2SI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=CaptainMidnight it exists right here
Unlikely. Hendrix was not much of an acoustic player, and he would be the first to acknowledge that.
Wait a dam second here.....the greatest player to ever live says "wait wait don't waste the film I was scared to death" what a absolute angel of a man.....R.I.P. James Marshall Hendrix!!!!!
no guitar player is perfect, not even james.
Blargh!
Listen to some Frank Zappa and then say who is the best . I love Hendrix but Zappa is so way beyond. I am 61 heard and saw them all live including Bonamassa in november of last year..
Zappa was a great guitarist, definitely a better composer, and unquestionably more disciplined. But Hendrix did more to reinvent the sound of the guitar.
Also if you compare Hendrix from his first few years as a commercial artist (i.e. his entire career) to Frank's playing during Frank's first few years as a commercial artist, Frank doesn't even come close.
Hendrix was just starting out, while Frank had a few decades to come.
I read somewhere he wasn't expecting the 12 string guitar, so he was very nervous.
"'Cause I was scared to death." Omg so many things to love about this man.
Cause I was scareds to death. I've heard that way of saying scared before too.
Jimi was so funny!
@@thomasharmon6444 Scared as to death :)
Yeah its fun to watch the Master just playing around. Just 27 when he pass away and what 22 when he made it.

On point like a perfect joint
I wish he was an old musician now still touring around. The loss still hurts me today. (As well as SRV.)
We wldnt appreciate him as much..I miss him with u
@@cedneal3872 agreed
@John they could still friends.......
every time i see a video of srv i'm compelled to say it aloud "dude, you should have taken the bus"
God, I can't even begin to imagine what his fully realized sound must be like if he was allowed to further develop it.
This guy is just a fucking legend & there's no other way to describe him, genius.
+D to The Main try awesome. got to see him in SF 1968.
***** Lucky you!
left handed fucking genius
Joe Micucci Jimi does a good job of copping licks from the old masters in this video. It demonstrates his intermediate-level, acoustic guitar skills well. One can see why he developed mastery using electric effects such as distortion, rather than playing unplugged.
+Yukon Woman so you're saying that JH isn't good?
Jimi's singing should not be overlooked.
Jimi was scared to death. The humble man plays the blues. God bless my friend.
"i was scared to death" bless his heart
"I got scared, can we start over?"
I love Jimi
It is said that long ago the devil traded his soul to play the guitar like Jimi Hendrix.
Comment of the week
+haloskater24 it really is
+Ben Dover --- "I taught him how to hold the guitar. If I would have had time, I would have showed him how to play it." That's what Jimi said of some famous guitarist whose name I can't recall.
+Ben Dover Jimi is the reason slowhand plays the stratocaster.
+Ben Dover and then, Robert Johnson traded his soul to play like The Devil
Undoubtedly, the greatest guitarist of all time, ever in history, period, end of discussion.
you are right.✌
If that is what you genuinely believe, I am available for marriage.
Jimi Hendrix was a unique guitarist and an innovator but definitely not the greatest guitar player of all time. People who say this don' t really know much about guitar,!
@@TheAlanWilson tech wise? No, but it's a pointless analysis at this level.
Jimi was the greatest playing in this video that's for sure.
For 1960’s its scary good quality
I believe that I've heard that film naturally records in 4k, or something like that
Peanut Spring 3 Film has no resolution, just a matter of how it’s digitalised
@@sauce4417 film does have an average "grain" size which is roughly similar - resolution for digital images is number of pixels width & height which translates to dots/inch (or mm) for a particular display, so in practice the dot size should be 2 or more times smaller than the grain size for reasonably accurate fidelity
This wonderful clip was filmed by my old classmate Peter Neal for 'The Experience', the first film about Hendrix. The Zemaitis guitar was mine, bought for my 21st birthday by my fiancee Veronica. for £30. I was up in Soho and Pete rushed in to the studio and said 'I must have an acoustic guitar - I've got Hendrix next door." I said it was a 12 string and strung right handed, but Pete just grabbed it and fled. Jimmy strung it up left handed and somehow managed to get this magic stuff out of it. I sold that guitar for £500 when I was broke in the eighties - worst thing I ever did!
This guitar would bring you more than twohoundred and thousands Dollars Today .... this sucks man.
+david ash Perhaps you can track it down and get it back. It belongs to the ages.
So he didn't have a guitar and had to borrow yours but he just happened to have strings for a 12 string?
+TETHYS and why did Jimi turn up to film without a guitar?
+TETHYS there's nothing special about 'strings for a 12 string' They are just 'strings'. But in these modern times where you can get fifty brands of toilet paper to wipe you're poepoeh that is hard to believe i guess. (it's a joke)
Why without a guitar? if you see the whole documentary you'll see that it is mostly improvised..like the sixty's that is.
His guitar was like an arm to him, so natural.
"Don't waste all that film..."
Don't worry bro, it wasn't wasted.
I love that you can hear him speak so candidly, really reminds you that he was a real person, not only a huge star.
If you didn't know this was Jimi Hendrix, you'd be certain it was a recording by one
of the legendary blues players from the Mississippi Delta. Perhaps Lead Belly,
Son House or Bukka White, especially Lead Belly as he was a 12 string master.
This is pure unadulterated Delta Blues. Jimi is channeling those roots and those
masters he heard growing up and sucked in like the musical sponge he was. And
remember: he's improvising this. It is the Deep Blues of The Delta, as deep as
Robert Johnson, Skip James and Muddy Waters. Hendrix was a Bluesman at heart.
And then you just go on down the yellow brick road what a tale .
+larry geetar Many have said that Jimi was not a "blues man." I disagree..of course. I think his shit didn't stink. But one of his other supporters spoke up and said that Jimi was indeed a blues man...a Delta Blues Man. "It's just his delta is on another planet." Yes..AND.. no.
+larry geetar
Yeah Really you're right
He was so great as all these old blues men
+larry geetar James Marshall Hendrix grew up in Seattle, Washington but was exposed to classic blues. His knowledge of it was hardly encyclopedic (like Clapton) nor did he have an especially great feel for it (like Vaughan). His forte was his command of distortion and other effects, his use of a reversely strung right handed guitar, some unusual chord voicings, thumb fretting. Plugged in he was the premier psychedelic guitarist, for about four years (except for Terry Kath, who sounded so much like him in '68 but came from more of a jazz background). But this acoustic piece readily demonstrates Jim was NOT the greatest to pick up a guitar. This fawning all over him like he was some kind of god is ridiculous. There are indeed so many better country, jazz, and yes, rock guitarists than him. But the image is there, and it is reinforced by repetition.
+Professor Musica Exactly, Professor! This is intermediate level acoustic work-if that. The description in your book of his playing being "inarticulate" and imprecise is accurate. If I watch Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, Tommy Emmanuel and then this it's easy to see Hendrix was tremendously overrated. So much of him had to do with volume, distortion, etc. I saw Terry Kath at the Fillmore in '69. Blew me away.
1000 people are still waiting at the train station
Thank you Jimi.
i love how enthusiastically the guy said "YEAH" when jimi asked to do it again. He knew what he was witnessing
Man what a loss to the world this man was. I can't even imagine how the future of music would of changed with him around longer. The stuff he would of given us after the gifts he already gave us is unthinkable .
The most astounding thing about him was that he did it all at an age when most of us are still playing with toys.. and left us before he was even 30.
the greatest guitarist of all times, period.
Maybe Rory Gallagher came very close...but two hero's
LMFAO
Jimi Hendrix, while good, is hardly the greatest of all time. I find most people who retell this faux fact typically have a very shallow pool of "known guitarists" to choose from. Also, they typically get quite heated when you tell them Jimi Hendrix is not the greatest guitarist of "all time".
Rolling Stone has him number one of all time, and he is. And interesting that 3 in the top five were in the Yardbirds
Well if Rolling Stone says it.... lol
I've watched this a million times and I will probably watch it a million more. One of the best pieces of acoustic music ever recorded and not many people have even heard it. Side note: the video quality on this is ridiculously good considering it was probably filmed in the late 60s
It was from a movie so it was filmed on 35 mm stock.
I love the bass lines that pair with his voice when he goes low. This man was musically gifted.
Someone tell the 1.6K blind people that they missed the button by a few inches
Have loved this and come back to it again and again since the first time I heard it on vinyl many years ago 👌
cool.
Name of song?
@@lamarazedek6556 hear my train a coming
@@lamarazedek6556 this is the acoustic version. There is also an electric version
I'm digging that 12 string
+1970broncoman same
it's custom from some guy who died 20 years ago but i think that he maked about 4-5 of this, every guitar is a little bit different
when he looks into the camera...I die. The guitar always just seems like an extension of Jimmi's body. It's a part of him and he's so effortless with it. Love this man.
Jimi Hendrix . When I heard his music. At age of 13 thanks to my brother Vinnie. (GOD rest his soul). I listened to the greatest music of all times. PS. To young for Woodstock. But I wish I was there.
He played at the end of the festival, most people had left, it was basically a giant pile of mud, shit and trash. At least according to my parents, they left but my moms brother in law stayed.
Clearly, whoever gave this a thumbs down doesn't even know what the fuck they're watching. It's just magic.
Retrovibes, whoever doesn’t understand what’s going on in this 4:53 song needs to just never listen to music again because they don’t know what music is about
If jimi had recorded an acoustic blues album we wouldn't need any more music
+Connor Son Of Johan Amen brother.
its called black and gold and held by the hendrix estate
in fact there are plenty of acoustic recordings from him available on the web

i dont have the links anymore , but u can search on kickass.to
Name of the song is Hear My Train A Comin' , in case anyone doesn't know.
I never get tired of hearing this. Truly a masterpiece.
The intro made me feel like i was gonna watch a good ass movie
and you did it!
yep, and that's wut I saw, dig!
He's better than god.
no sir. God is above all. he is better than any man though.
obie dobie you're weird rofl
He just improvised on the spot and his brilliance was on clear display. Jimi showed why he was a true artist and miles beyond so many guitarists. He was my hero!
What kind of camera back then had this quality
Larry Lewis 35 mm film looks great.
@@bensagal-morris8072 I see that now
The ones which filmed Hendrix;)
Film, and the budget to pay for it.
even 16 mm can look nice
"Tears burning,tears burning me. Way down in my soul!"
Amazing how the guitar industry back then seemed to totally disregard left handed players, the guys a legend and he has to play everything upside down.
I get what your saying, but Jimi learnt to play that way. chances are he asked for a right hander
He said "they make more right handed ones,so chances are there better than a left handed one would be"
Read the story of David Ash what here happenend.
By the way: for certain there were lefthanded guitars made by many guitarbuilders. Gibson als well as Martin did built a modest quantity of lefties.
Most of time shopowners didn't want to have these on stock: they only sold ocasionally wheras righthanded were sold all the time.
Still: they were made for sure, but sold for less ;)
That guitar he is playing is not strung upside down....the low E is on top and High e on Bottom....the body is flipped but the strings are correct....you can tell because it's thicker at the top than at the bottom...
@@txwisky dude... how... how are that dumb? You take a right handed guitar, string it upside down, and only then can you flip it over so the strings are the correct way up..
on behalf of everyone who has/had the Blues, Thank you Jimi, we love you brother, Peace.
He seemed very humble,pity
Stephen Cellucci Yes humble yet supremely gifted, there will never be an other like him, a total one-off, Peace.
If ever there was a musical catastrophe it was running out of film for the last few seconds. But I am quite sure the film crew had no idea what a super legend Mr Hendrix would become. But what a gem to behold regardless.
I’ve seen this now 6 times and it’s still amazing
He really pushed the frontier of guitar. He's simply an amazing guitarist. And humble.
His smile is beautiful woah... But dude I can't put his guitar playing into the words, just incredible, playing with feeling like that
He's soaking his soul through sound.
Mezzy ii0
When you burn twice as bright you burn half as long. We were honoured to have him for as long as we did. Peace Jimi.
There was only one Jimmy Hendrix and he was fantastic. He was his own man did things his way and that is key. Like all true artists they know who they are and that is the difference.
Simply great
He is so damn charismatic...shy, sweet ...incredible talent - the one and only.
Nobody ever played with more feel on the instrument than Hendrix did. His phrasing was always impeccable.
stevie ray
No...
stavros553 Stevie Ray only could try...sorry no one was and will ever be in the same building as Jimi and I play drums and know that...lol
So moving to see all the comments on this footage. No matter how many sources of this clip you find on UA-cam the same comments are repeated over and over, about his humility and magic. Just shows the power and reach of his personality and talent. We never get tired of you Jimi.
"Could I just play that one more time, I was scared"....... What a sweet, sweet soul. So humble and so talented.. Also, loved his giggle-to me he sounded like FUN!!!
"Hey can I do it one more time"?
-"Hell Yeah!"
Fellow musician
It was a sad day when we lost Jimi. A waiste of God given talent. He was truly the Best their was and ever will be. In his short time he blew away the greatest musicians of that era and his music will live forever. He is the best their ever was and ever will be.
We miss you Jimi!
I'm with you that Jimi's play is beautiful and lovely to listen to. But in music and taste there really is no best... The thing with Jimi Hendrix (and every other "star") became famous is due to diverse circumstances not only of that individual person but also the public, current politics, current (anti-)fashion, nothing control-able ultimately.
Jimi Hendrix was a man of many talents. He reinvented guitar playing, he could sing like a boss, he wrote amazing songs, he could play Rock And Roll and Blues and above all he was very down to earth and a kind guy. We really need another Jimi right now!
I saw this movie in Times Square when it was first released in 1973. The pain of his loss was still very fresh!
He would have been 72 today had he not died so young at 27. Unfathomable the amazing music we missed out on because of his early death.. I would have loved to see Hendrix develop as an artist throughout the 70's.
Imagine waking up tomorrow to hear a 78 year old Jimi had passed peacefully in his sleep after a short illness.
Now imagine not having the comfort of him simply being "there" for 51 years as we have all had to endure.
What a man...
He must have had such a crazy aura about him when you're near him, I can't imagine...
Such a polite man. We miss you Jimi!! Always.
take notes kids this is real music no lip sink no auto tune pure greatness
"Shit - 12-string", Jimi apparently said when presented with the guitar prior to filming. "What am I supposed to do with that?"
This.
jimi mostly only used the 12 string. He's playing the guitar upside down again also. Best guitarist since rock n roll was invented.PS The man's name who invented rocknroll was named Chuck Berry. machine gun is one of my most favorite Hendrix tracks.
yeah its upside down for him, so trippy
Jonathan Goyens Absolutely true
The only time he's been recorded playing one, no? Oh hang on - 'All Along The Watchtower'?
nah dawg, he's left handed and back then people just redid the strings upside down cuz left handed guitars were rare
Im 62 and old now but Ive never heard this version,,Ive loved Jimi all my life, since my Hippy days ,But now to hear his most heart felt ,,,,,,, what can I say!!!! I have tears in my eyes,,, its so wonderful that the young generation not forget such a musical genius.
frank marshall bless you man

@@TheLuismaBeaTle me too
God bless Jimi Hendrix. There will never be another guitar player with both his level of skill and the amount of soul he played with
It's bizarre that no matter how brilliant the musician or the music played there are always idiots out there ready to give it the thumbs down. You have to be brain dead & heart frozen to dismiss this beautiful piece of 12 string blues by one of the greatest - if not the greatest! - guitar players to grace this planet. Jimi was such a lovely unassuming guy with a talent beyond belief for self expression on his instrument. Could any of these negative naysayers approach his mastery or musicianship...?
Steve Fanger Let me put fourth this theory I've been working on...I _think_ that people have different tastes in music and that your taste isn't necessarily the be all end all. Oh wait, everybody knows that already...hmmm...ok I got another theory...what if, you don't actually have to be a legitimate music critic to press the dislike button. You can just listen to a piece of music on youtube, dislike it thanks to your personal music taste and decide to press "dislike"- and it's actually not hurting anybody mature enough to take care of themselves! Oh wait, that's also common knowledge...)):
OR, OR. People dont like Jimi Hendrix. Hes a good guitar player but I think his music is shit. I like heavy shit. Everyone has different tastes. Do you like GWAR or Death?
Probably not. But that doesnt make them bad.
It's just not their cup of tea. I didn't used to like jimi, but my music taste has changed, and now he's one of my favourites... but every piece of music has beauty in it if you are willing to find it.
he was so humble also
NO they just need FRICKIN HEARING AIDS AND GLASSES
For those of you that 1) Do not play guitar 2) Make asinine comments like "He's overrated, so and so is better, blah blah blah, PLEASE REMEMBER, Jimi himself said, when asked what it's like to be the world's greatest guitarist, "I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher." The man completely reinvented the modern approach to guitar (albeit not without influence from Mississippi blues, Buddy Guy, Albert King, etc) and left one hell of a body of work in only 4 or so short years. REMEMBER -De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum.
Rory. and Peter Green were in the same league.
I couldn't find any proof that he said that about Rory.
Kelly Silva
He has been quoted as saying that countless times, once on Dick Cavett I think.
Adolph Oliver Bush Yes I've seen it a lot. That's how I discovered Rory! (:
I think he was a big Billy Gibbons fan too, though I could be mistaken.
I'd give up everything except my guitar to play like him
+adam clark Al you have to do is give it all of your time. It's what Jimi did.

My Mom drove me and my best friend Chuck to the Auditorium Theater in Chicago It was August of 1967 to see The Jimi Hendrix Experience with Soft Machine opening band on the Purple Haze Tour. Foxy Lady was like getting a tatoo directly to your brains grey matter of that moment when he crouched down an back and (spaces matter like the notes ) pause and FOK ZIIIEEE Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never been the same since.... neither was Chuck R.I.P. Chuck and JIMI .
This is what genius looks like. He is barely trying here, yet it is riddled with soul and just beautiful
Clapton once said that "the ones that don't like Jimi are jealous". That envy still continues today even in his death among a few notable guitarists and unknown UA-cam haters. Eric also said in an interview, "He is really one of the finest musicians around on the Western scene". No one who was around at the time can deny that "Are You Experienced" was light years ahead of anything they had ever heard. It was the line of demarcation between the past and the future of popular music; before Jimi and after Jimi.
angus young called jimi "surf music" hahaha, so he's obviously in the jealous camp
He was a magician on the guitar. Plain and simple
Jimi has and will continue to inspire countless guitar players, musicians and singers for ever. Enough can't be said of this amazing man !
I think people say no one can play like jimi because nobody has had as much dedication as jimi. He is a real life legend
he just played the way he felt it.today everyone playing guitar.theres 10yr olds playing. like theres some kind of standard to be called good.so what! just sit in your room and play to you're self for expression. thats what makes you feel better. fuck media and people.theres real talent inside 4 walls.
Until you sign a contact.......
papazz mud plus or minus a ceiling
Beautiful... I always felt Jimi was the whole package.. Miss you brother..
hendrix never forgot his roots, he was much more than a flashy showman. Best ever
I've lost count of the amount of times I keep watching this video
I need to have a word with 766 people.
Now 784
You might see it a bit more realistic: I remember the time when he's first records were played on the radio... "Hey Joe", we were only with two who loved that music ...the more than thousand other kids at school didn't like this kind of music... now i see 48400 likes and just 800 dislikes. Among the dislikes 457 because he didn't play with his teeth, 222 because they wanted Nona Hendrix, 366 because they did not like his hat, they thought it was a fashion show.... Now I hear you thinking: there weren't so many dislikes...is true, several of them did push the wrong button.
804
Liam The Plonker no shit.

I feel like an dirty old hobo at an abandon train station --- listening to Jimi Hendrix 's ghost playing this tune on his guitar to me over and over in my dreams every night. Maybe I am being haunted by Jimi Hendrix, or it's just my crazy imagination playing games with my mind....
If it's Jimi Hendrix we're talking about, it's not a haunting, it's a blessing.
Senatrix yes
0:15 You just know it’s Jimi. You don’t even have to see it’s him, you can just hear the way he plays that it’s him and can only be him. Beautiful. Imagine being able to just sit and watch him play so casually.
I loved his music when I first started hearing it
d'Philip Chalmers is one of the best
He left so soon. It makes me so angry because I imagine all the music he could have made, but then I'm just glad we got what we did. RIP Jimi
he died in the 70s ffs. his music now wouldnt get any recognition
Jimi: Stop wasting all that film!
Literally everybody in the 1920s: But film burns so well!
Such an amazing artist !

Words are the utterances of the common man,
these words where uttered by the Grooviest of Souls..
Thanks Jimmy, may your fever live long brother ;)
hypnotizing ... even though simple. Just love his style, voice, musicality ... it lives on
Incredible! Beyond words really..the talent...the feel...the passion that was Jimi.
An electric version of this song can be found in the album "Rainbow Bridge". This version is simply one of the best live performances in music history.
To the ones who say H. makes mistakes while playing etc. (just in case, I haven't read the comments below for now), remember 60% of his music is IMPROVISED. All songs are performed differently each time, and that's true for "Here my train a-comin'" too. It's easy to play a song perfectly when you have played it a million times always the same way note by note.
I saw Him in Milano, on June 23, 1968!!!!
Lucky...
Sure! But now I'm 65!!!! Snif, snf, but still in business as musician!

what did you feel?
Very esay, i cannot sleep for all the night. I was crazy: And I suppos he was Gos, or God gave him sometyhing that we cannot have. The concert was incredible for us: th ballroom was full, fullm full. I saw God, God was incarnated in Jimi Hendrix (and i have a picture of myself looking at him, and i tourch him), Maybe you thinjk that I am silly (65 years old) but, believe me, was one of the greatest experience that I had in my life (I saw also the Beatles here in town, 1965) Regards.
pietro aligi Schiavi I am a few years younger than you 56 but remember how I felt when I first heard him and I know why you felt that way. No one on this earth before or after will ever be able to compare to him
You know I’ve heard his singing voice thousands of times, but I think that bit at the beginning might be the first time I’ve heard him just speaking. He seems nice, that makes me happy.
Very underrated musician.
I was in high school when he died. Me and my friends wept. He was, is, and always be the greatest rock n roll guitarist of all times.
