Jimi's tone on Voodoo Chile has been and will forever be my all time favorite electric guitar tone. Just so liquid and tubular, yet piercing and powerful.
primeDecomposition Band of Gypsies is also very juicy
It's the reason I have a 59 Bassman clone.
I talked to Eddie about the tone. Jimi is playing through a twin reverb
@@brandonterzic Maybe he did but I've had a 60's Twin and a Bassman and it sounds like a Bassman to me. Twins sound different to my ears.
Also full drop D
I feel sorry and excited for people who haven't heard Hendrix yet.
JDOG one time
@@Atomic1710 make this two times www.veojam.com/watch/1236023637
sadly they won't have the historical context geezers like me have, hearing his stuff coming thru friends 55 chevy car radio & going "Wow, what the hell is that? I love it!"
Today's day one
@Philip Schlaepfer fire away!
Jimmy's playing on Voodoo Chile is so amazing...I literally can't stop listening to it. I hear it almost everyday. It's has this haunted swamp sound to it. Like, truly ghostly and epic.
Jimi is from Seattle...a city surrounded by water...and you can hear a haunting, "watery" sound to much of his blues playing...I too grew up in Seattle...the city has it's own special aura, a sort of cosmic/dimensional feeling to it's ambient weather situation...especially at night...I can visualize the young Jimi, soaking up that background influence, and then incorporating it into his unique playing style....You are not with us physically anymore, Jimi, but I can still hear you when I am strolling about the city, especially in the evening.
@@curbozerboomer1773fuck sick way of describing it
Catfish
"The night I was born, the moon turned a fiery red"...
The lyrics capture the mood of Jimi's howling, dark, Delta blues leads perfectly. Jimi is indeed a mysterious voodoo child...
The guitar sound on Voodoo Chile (w/Stevie Winwood) is probably the most powerful guitar sound I've ever heard. Jimi's bluesy note choices just emphasize that power.
Ive always been amazed by his guitar sound on voodoo chile too. It's only recently (after 30somethin years listenning to it) that i noticed he is tuned a *whole* step down not only 1/2...
I've always thought it was the best thing he recorded.
If anyone's wondering, and I know this sounds unlikely, but you can get a really good approximation of that awesome sound with AmpliTube. I don't even tune down for it, I let the pitch shifter in the software do that, too.
Lee Robson I can get that tone with a cheap voodoo octave or the big muff with the volume all the way up and tone all the way up with the preamp turned up just a little, amp gain up to 7 bass on 12 o'clock mid 3 o'clock treb 3 o'clock and the rest is the player and how you set the volume on the guitar etc :)
The footage was (sadly) lost probably long ago, but thanks for the reminder for the CD, I used to have a download of it but have since found it again on rutracker.org
the producer has soul.
Eddie Kramer is the best
@@noahrivera329 Yes see Led Zeppelin II!
paul j
Eddie Kramer, wuz da Engineer.
Chas Chandler, usually Produced, BUTT he left & Jimi took over, Rover.
This is what's missing in a lot of today's music recordings. Spirited and creative musicians are around, but their works die in the studio
Charlie Andor
Producerz, take out all da life, makin sure da time iz 2 a click. No emotion, thru meter. Same soundz, azz all da otha trax on da radio, azz adverse 2 guest musicianz, bringin n their own unique flavorz.
I've been listening to Voodoo Chile for 50 years and those sinewy guitar lines never get old. One of Jimi's best performances IMO.
My first memories of Hendrix as a child was he was some much older man playing amazing music. Now all these years later he seems so young and I'm twice as amazed.
Jack Cassidy is my favorite bass player. Amazing tone and energy. 'Plastic Fantastic Lover' live on 'Bless Its Pointed Little Head' and Crown Of Creation' are pure testaments to what I love about the man. At times I feel he is vastly underrated by the masses.
IMHO,Cassidy is the best American classic rock bassist
I was in a bar in the village in 1985 and a friend walks in with this British guy named Steve with real short hair. Steve asks me what I do and i tell him I'm an assistant engineer at Electric Lady Studios down the street. He looks at me and says "That's great!I've worked there a few times. As a matter of fact I played keyboards with Jimi Hendrix on a little tune called "Voodoo Child" at The Record Plant a few years back.." Yes indeed it was Steve Winwood, and I felt like crawling under the table...
loooool hilarious!!
Ken Steiger woooooooooooooooooooooow !!!!!!! so humble guy
Ken Steiger A few years back, like 17 years.

I'd never heard Jimi until a buddy came over to my house with one of the Hendrix albums. I just sat there......amazed! Blown away completely.
There's Jimi Hendrix and then there's everybody else.
Tungadunger yea everybody that’s good.
Yep. I could explain exactly how too.
...Jimi for live, EVH for studio playing-that’s how I get to vote for both...
Jack Casady during that period had the most expressive touch with his right hand that was absolutely unique and brought out the full sound of the strings.
Jack is still bringing it with Jorma as Hot Tuna continues to tour. . .
The hendrix blues album to me will always be the greatest album they ever put together.. it truly changed my life in all kinds of ways
The greatest album who ever put together? Not really an album just a collection of Jimi playing the blues which first came out in the 1990s. Your comment reads like you think it was put out as an album during Jimi's lifetime?
@@johnarundell7951 It’s a great compilation album though? Just because it’s a posthumous album doesn’t mean it ain’t Hendrix.
Voodoo Child (long version, not slight return) is the best of its kind I’ve ever hear. The playing is awesome. Thank you Jimi for this song.
My favorite voodoo recording is on Hendrix in the West 70 LA forum can't find it yet but have it on polydor
Hendrix was a major influence in my life and music in the mid 70’s
voodoo chile with steve winwood is probably one of the best duo jams in history period jimi makes that guitar cry and steve plays that organ keyboard like his mama just died just a beautiful jam like eddie kramer said just getting off on each others playing and complementing each other
that is probably the best jimi hendrix one could listen to. fucking brilliant. the atmosphere, the playing... man that song's tone is on fire ! not to mention the playng... too bad there are no recordings of it live
nintendudeshred64 jelly 292 is amazing with them two
Actually there are numerous takes of "Voodoo Chile".....
there are many takes but so little that are released hence its rarity
nintendudeshred64 you ain't kidding this song is so badass its sick!!!
Jack Cassidy ladies and gentlemen. Brilliant bassist. Great style of play, got right into the song
Cassidy himself, mentions that Jimi showed him a little "pinching" technique on the bass, that gave that recording a little extra "oomph".....Jimi was a fine bass player too!
The purity and power of this track makes me cry damn near every time I hear it.
"Voodoo Chile" is a masterpiece of "live" blues jam with Jimi's own "Super Session" version of a band: Stevie, Jack Cassidy, and or course Mitch. Fooking brilliant; never get tired of listening to it. Noel who?? ;)
One of the greatest jams ever👍
easily the best guitar ever recorded imo. such focus on the extended jam. i've never heard precision like that on the guitar. it's like he was waiting his whole life to play that jam. laid back blues licks and the final solo is better than words can describe. very cool to hear him play with mitch and two great instrumentalists.
How nice that Eddie Kramer got to work with all these fricking geniuses -------unbelieveable ---incredible, so beautiful. The talent ratios are going right off the charts.!
Jimi rarely looks at his axe when 'ripping' a riff. A natural for sure.
*Nah, he was just good at guessing where the fret was.*
Yep. Sure sign of a guitar master. Another example is Jimi's idol, Terry Kath.
Repsychler 808 Are you seriously surprised that musicians don’t have to look at where their fingers are on their musical instruments?
Peter Yianilos yeah but he was all over the fretboard in his rhythm playing, it’s just impressive
Jimmy IS (yes, in present) THE GREATEST. Everyone who met him describes him like a gently giant, in and out of stage. It's easy to see it, just seeing him playing the guitar like the Genius he was, singing or smiling. God bless the King, forever! lml
The bass player from Jefferson Airplane played sessions with Jimi.......I never knew that!
Voodoo Chile has been my favorite for 40 years and I learned that about a year ago. Jack is great.
A lot of musicians in the 60s played sessions with each other... The 60s were the best time for a lot of things and music was def one of them
Yeah Jack casady
Steve Winwood also
JIMI played with anybody that had an instrument one of the things that made him GREAT....he was humble 🎸✌🏻
This track is probably my favourite off of the whole album, but Jack Cassidy's bass in Isolation is absolutely light years from the track on Electric Ladyland. It sound full, rich, and full of character. On the track it really could be anyone playing with any sort of bass...
A truly wonderful recording , this track always blew my mind💫
Omg, this is a gem! Eddie is so great. Thank God for Jimi, and thank Him also for Eddie. A terrific team. And Mitch (especially) and Billy too of course. Noel just wasn't a bass player by nature, and neither was he anywhere near Jimi's level. Thankfully Mitch was perfect. Steve Winwood and Jack Cassidy - brilliant!!!!!!! This is such a pleasure and thrill to watch. Thank you!!!
Jack Casady is 1 of the best bass players from this era, I'm so glad he is still with us. So many from my era have passed on now, & many way too young. Jack always plays his best & plays for the song. Perfect fit with Mitch Mitchell
Jack's bass guitar playing is really awesome...did not know he played with Jimi Hendrix back in the day.
That whole album blows my mind and soul🌎
Standing next to a mountain You are the mountain and what a mountain you were RIP Jimi
Jimi hendrix was truly above all his peers at that giving time no.1 🤙🤙🤙👍
Voodoo Chile is by far the most beautiful song ever made
he always calms me down and get my head straight no matter what a crap I'm dealing with.... magic?
Jimi Hendrix and his effortless perfection.
I don't I ever knew one of the greatest bass players ever (Jack Casady) was the bass on Slight Return. That jam evokes so many things, a smoke filled club that followed by Belly Button Window. You can actually hear the glasses clanking.. Jack is still kickin it at 75. One of founders of busy melodic bass lines. Bless it's Pointed Little Head is one of thalltime best live albums ever and the bass is mixed way up front ...right where it should be.Hendrix, Winwood, Mitchell and Casady. Now there's a dream band.
Casady has said that Hendrix actually took him aside, and showed him a little move on the bass, that kicked in a little more "oomph" to the pulse of the song...many folks said that Hendrix was also an excellent bass player!
@@curbozerboomer1773 interesting! Thanks!
hell yeah jack casady
Casady was so great..he even looked like a bass player should look!
@@curbozerboomer1773 I saw Hot Tuna again this week, and Jack was still so amazing at 79 years old, that I've just been on a binge of every obscure thing of his I can find on UA-cam to listen to.
I love this song so, so, much. I can't even tell you how much I love this song! It's the pinnacle of humanity, I can't even believe a song this badass is even possible!
Great song.👌Jimi Hendrix = LEGEND! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
It would be so amazing to have a full video recording of the entire song....got to be the best jam ever
One of my favorite jimi tracks.
Voodoo Chile is my favourite song of all time. Has anyone heard the alternate take from the Jimi blues album? Very interesting as you can hear how they arrived at the final recording, it really was an improvisation! Just some lyrics and a groove. Also there not much in the way of mixing/mastering on the alternate, you can hear how a little reverb some chorus and panning made Jimis tone on the record really come alive! Also interesting his guitar is actually low in the mix compared to a lot of rock, but it still cuts through. What a masterpiece in every way, the players, the timing, the way the world was back then and the producer. Ultimate kudos.
That track is one of the best Jimi ever recorded imho... a track so atmospheric that it still sends tingles up my spine to this day.
Steve Winwood and Eric do a mighty fine tribute version of the number in their occasional concerts together,
When I was young and into tripping i would spend hours and hours with voodoo child revisited,moon tides and wind whispers mary. I remember it like it was just yesterday, life was really good then . It was freedom man!
"Voodoo Child (slight return)" is my favourite song of all time-bar none! I have often put my headphones on and listened to the song for over an hour on constant repeat.It's so filled with such passion and raw emotion ,it just grabs my soul and rips my heart out.The world will never see his equal,he raised the bar way beyond the Stratosphere.
Voodoo child is my favorite song..the tone is just so good
eddie kramer is so lucky to have the master track, i'd kill to to able to listen just the guitar or just the bass/drums on jimi's music
Actually, some of Hendrix's playing has been successfully isolated, allowing for exceptional listening to his powerful licks!
I’ve been a gtr player since 10 yrs old .... I’ve had so many heroes... django, tony rice, Dan crary, Chet, Merle Travis, but one day I “heard” Jimi and it was a spiritual experience.... it wasn’t live screaming stuff, it was castles made of sand... first time .... went through my soul... nobody has ever had that effect on me before or since... Jimi always said “this is for those with open hearts and ears!” 👍
I wonder sometimes if he wasn't a chosen "muse" for the spirit of music itself. I know what you mean. The singled out studio version of him playing "Electric Ladyland" by himself has *always* had that effect on me
Yeah
Most purely moving song of depth to me by JH in essence of human life.
This song gives me chills!!!!!!!!
At the same day and time Jimi was recording voodoo , the 3rd may, my mom went into labor with me. 13 hours later , right around the time they were finishing up the track, I was born. 90 miles south in Philadelphia pa. May 4 1968. . 10+ months before,
The day Jimi played Monterey, my parents were married.
In 1981 after taping 4 songs from that Monterey pop show off the Jimi Otis lp off the radio, it was like a rolling stone that prompted me to pick up guitar which I have performed and taught 35+ yrs.
Hendrix had it all!...Unique skills on guitar, exotic good looks onstage, he was the total package, simply the best of the best!...And he earned it on his own, with little encouragement from friends and family. so of course, he had "to throw himself away", as he mentioned in his lyrics for the tune Burning of the Midnight Lamp. So sad, to think of the music he could have kept giving us.
mitch mitchell never get his justified due.
Mitchell was a awesome drummer. I love the way he improvised playing off Jimi! he came from the Rock progressive r jazz influence... Jimi said once that he was one guy that he'd b afraid of losing......I believe as a die hard favorite musician and just the music of Jimi of His guitar playing. that you're hearing a music of an original, an original. Jimi alone just guitar is an experience like no other but with Mitchell it enhanced the whole thing......sort of put the cherry on top and was just what Jimi could use and it worked wonderfully! I love Mitch And Jimi......let's face it too ...Noel was good if Jimi didn't feel he liked the bass lines and wasn t holding the bottom at all. he d have him long time ago removed....so I've always been impressed by Noel too!
Mitch was a good drummer no doubt ..
What do you mean? To drummers it’s the Mitch Mitchell Experience with some guitarist that’s pretty good ;p
@@joeymangano3122 ..Jimi wrote the bass lines for Noel and played bass himself on half of Axis and more than half of Electric Ladyland according to Eddie Kramer and Mitch Mitchell.
It was all about Mitch and Jimi.
Joey Mangano
U c whut Framrod posted?
Mitch Mitchell had a lot of Elvin Jones in his sound...a perfect compliment for Hendrix's fantastic sound and rhythmic playing.
STEVE AND JIMI ! AWESOME
This gives me goosebumps
Noel Redding , in my humble opinion was always miserable and never liked Jimi! Every interview i heard after Jimis death was usually quite negative. Noel was bitter and resentful of Jimi. If he had not been in the experience playing along with someone like Jimi, who in the hell would have ever heard of him?
+Lovell Block I agree.
yes, I think so too. Part of it may have been that he was actually a guitarist and he could probably never played guitar for anyone again who knew who he was! It would have been rediculous. lol
Jimi was no saint. Noel found out that he had been kicked out of the band through a newspaper headline! Who wouldn't be pissed?
I always got miserable and stuffy vibes from Noel. Glad someone else saw it. Good thing Jimi replaced him.
Nobody else had a problem working with Jimi except for Chas and Noel. Jimi could be a real pain in some ways, but it appears Chas and Noel just didn't have the patience to put up with Jimi's way of doing things.
that bass line...this whole 2 tracks jimi motherfucking hendrix!..sweet!
Language.
A great jam and and a great album.
Slight return to me is the greatest sonic assault ever devised by man.....PERIOD
He was amazing!
I have told many people around me at various stages throughout my life that this is the song I want played, LOUDLY, at my funeral as my body burns...I may no longer be of this world, but I,ll met ya on the next one and dont be late....
Outstanding version, incredible Jimi's best excellent. When I'm in my car I have Pandora on I reply this tune over n over n over again. I CANNOT get enough of this amazing tune.
Jimi wrote the music and lyrics. Winwood played the B3 organ, that's all.
@@patrickfoster4586 Yeah when I was researching this version and also I wanted to memorize the lyrics Winwood's name came up as lyricist for this version which I thought strange. That greedy Janie leech sellin some of Hendrix lyrics n this version was there so but dude type in this version lyrics n it take u to Winwood page of all the songs he wrote this version there, why idk
Masterpiece !!!
IMO one of the Greatest Blue's Jam Ever
Damn Jack's bass sounds so deeeeeeeep...
Modern tech has improved the sound quality of that album...Jimi had complained that it came out "too muddy". and blamed the tech engineers for failing to bring out the sound.
Not only is Mitch killing it but his snare tone is exactly what I based mine on such a tight warm pop, this jam is the ultimate Jimi's guitar sounds at times it's just gonna explode then back down to a sweet tone. Perfection!
Voodoo Chile , greatest blues guitar part ever recorded imo , and Jimis timeless masterpiece , which will be the only music to be heard at my funeral 👍
Jimi' s tone is so liquid I can taste it!!
"two musical giants"....yep. Winwood's feel on this track is just amazing.
But so was Mike Finnigan's on Rainy Day. Jimi could have worked with a lot of great keyboard players. Hell, Jon Lord. I wish he had - that's what Jimi's premature death robbed us of.
@@aquamarine99911 yes, finnigan played with some greats, dave Mason and Stephen stills among many others
But is is not interesting...how, if a powerful musician like Hendrix dies young, he is immortal...but great musicians like Winwood, just grow old, and tend to fade away...life is so weird!
@@curbozerboomer1773 I hear what you are saying but Steve has had a pretty incredible career.
gracias jimi por tu musica universal.
I bought this album when it came out. And every time I got a new stereo, I’d play to judge how good my stereo was.
Watching this was like, seeing the holy scrolls become unraveled and read for the first time ... On the night I was born, lord I swear the moon turned a fire red!!
VooDoo Child / Electric Lady Land was and is! to this day, An amazing work of art....
This is jimi best work
HENDRIX FOREVER MAN
Yeah, Mitch Mitchell, the coolest drummer for Jimi.
At THAT time. But as Jimi and his music evolved he often needed and wanted a more strong and steady groove.
Mitch could not provide that and that is why Hendrix recorded more with Buddy than Mitch in the last year of his life.
Not better...just different.
@@FramrodLiggins Well, you're wrong there. Jimi only had Buddy Miles for a year, then he asked Mitch back again. Why? Because they fitted together.
Noel Redding was such a downer . But. Mitch was on the same wave length as jimmy .
HANSEN used Mitch.......and they had some weird stories about Mitch.....in the end, he was a nut job.
Yeah..Noel was a square. Never cared for him. he was way too pop as well.
Mitch and Jimi were in it for the music. Noel was in it for the job and the money.
He boadted i was best guitarist in? Wherever born. Itd bebuzz to play with such a real one off like Hendrix. But envy was strong with him. No just accepted and wow happy to be with such brilliant honest polite guy. With no big head at all. Knew was the shit but never acted like im mr Hendrix to no one.
@@BryceDAnderson1952 Mitch had lived a charmed life, as a kid...he even was the star of a British children's show on British TV, at the age of 11...so he always had a somewhat removed, quietly arrogant attitude towards others. You can hear that attitude in some of the interviews he did. Then, throw in Jimi, with his unpredictable mood swings and drug usage...it is amazing they even lasted one year, let alone nearly three years!
Legend !!!
Greatest song EVER
Steve Winwood and Mitch Mitchell with Hendrix was electrifying.
I often wonder, how people like Winwood rationalize their lives, post-Hendrix!...I mean, sure, Winwood had a strong career later on, but still...he had climbed a mountain, with a sheer genius, back in 1968!...Everything since that moment would seem to me, to be rather boring by comparison.
This is sad, it just makes me think how much we were yet to hear this guy create. It seems like of all the masterpieces he already had, the best was still yet to come.
Damn I wish he stayed around a little longer.
Ces 2 morceaux sont absolument énormes des chefs-d'œuvres sixties.
Had Hendrix only lived longer....I got the chance to hang out at Electric Ladyland Studio when a friend was recording there. I still get chills thinking about it...
Voodoo child, little wing, watchtower and purple haze are my favourites
Raoul Akhtar
Check out Dolly Dagger.
Just found the Jimi Hendrix's experience record in my father's old box of records, looks brand new wrapped in a plastic sleeve, this copy must be over 40 years old.
Radu Popa cool
I saw Noel Redding at a pub in Boston and after seeing that I knew just how much Jimi got from noel. Alot! At the end of the night Ginger Baker came into the bar and they jammed out on Sunshine of your love.I felt like I was in 1968. What an Honor
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...Jimi
Gordoha - really? Here's a master sound engineer showing all the layers on the master tapes of these classic songs, and the stories of how they came together. It's priceless.
Noel never seemed to grasp that, as good a musician as he was, he was not in any way JImi's equal, or even in the same league. He was good enough to back him - that's it.
You've written to him? Noel's been dead since 2003.
I guess that explains why he never wrote back.
bill bailey
Kind of mean but very true nonetheless
Anti World
I don't think itz mportant tho.
Noel, wuz NOT trying 2 outdo Jimi. I never got dat from anybody, or n anythang Noel did. He did sum stuff, 2 show he could keep up wit Jimi, like play bass bhind his head, BUTT he recognized Jimi wuz special, n termz of guitar playing & showmanship, just like evabody else!
All Noel wanted, wuz whut MOST would want. He xpected financial gain & there wuz VERY lil cummin his way. Even mo special, he wuz da 1st, 2 tell Hendrix, he wuz being ripped-off! He wuz just an ntelligent bloke, iz all. All da flak hez taking now, iz unblievable, 2 me.
Da 2nd thang Noel wanted, wuz 2 b creative. His style of songwriting wuz totally different 2 Jimiz, & we know dat from his output, on Jimiz recordz, so he started FAT MATTRESS & they didn't go very far. Jimi approved of Noelz ambitionz & spoke publicly about whut he thought they would all b doing, n da near future.
Badass song!!!
AWESOME!!!!!! I would sit next to him all day adjusting knobs and slides for days just to find the intricacies ya get on vinyl, to cassette, to cd. My CD first issue are so thich the wont play in my modern cd player. they also lost sound from the lp.
I love his blues album more than anything else Jimi ever released. its a desert island disc for me
2:14 Literal eargasm
lol
Amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Its so great that Jimi wanted to play with Steve Winwood. I wish they could have done more but we have this timeless blues with him and Jack Cassidy on bass.
Supreme. 🕉
2:14 Literal eargasm
mitch mitchell never get his justified due.
Jimi was probably such a generous person. Chris Squire tells the story of seeing Jimi show Noel Redding how to play the simple bass line of Purple haze or one of the songs. and Noel was having difficulty with that. But it wasn't until Noel kept bitching about him jamming, and quit, before Jimi got better bass players.
Well...Redding was Jimi's mistake, really....he only chose him, because he liked Noel's Dylan hairstyle!...a poor way to evaluate a musician....but Hendrix was just like the rest of us...he had some faults, and was very impulsive and reckless with his life...it worked for awhile, but eventually killed him.
50 years ago today...love you Jimi
*JIMMY HAS THE MOST SOUL* !!!!!!
