    Jimi was shy, humble and sensitive. There was an aura of sadness about him; he was abused by the record companies and all the hangers-on; the expectations everyone had for him, he couldn't keep up with. I think that he was happiest like this, sitting on a porch somewhere playing the blues for a friend, no huge audience screaming for him. He wasn't a big druggie either, like people say. I still remember when I heard he had passed; I was on my way to school in S.F.; I went there and cried. When I saw him perform live in 1968, he looked alone up there in the purple spotlight. I highly recommend you listen to Jimi's "Axis Bold as Love" and "Electric Ladyland" albums.

      You have to understand his childhood to get a clearer picture of him. Both parents were alcoholics who fought each other all the time. Jimi would end up hiding in a closet during their fights. They moved constantly. He often was passed around to relatives to take care of. He became so infatuated with the guitar as a young child that the school therapist advocated for the school to buy him one. He used to go to school with a broom handle and pretend it was his guitar. The first musical instrument he ever got was a one string ukelele that he found with his dad while he was helping him clean out a garage for money. His mom died of cirrhosis of the liver when he was just 15 years old. His father would not allow him and his brother to go to her funeral and instead got them drunk because that was how men handled their pain according to him. All of this pain and misery was channeled into his music.

    Wow! This historic footage was originally from a 1967 film titled "Experience" and was later included in the 1973 documentary titled "Jimi Hendrix" which I saw at a midnight show in a packed theater in '73. Film maker Peter Neal, who shot the footage, said this - “Just before we left we asked Jimi if he would mind playing some acoustic blues. We’d decided to ask him to do that beforehand and since I had this 12-string guitar, I took it along thinking it would be more interesting for him than an ordinary 6-string. I noticed how Jimi kept looking at it and then he asked me if he could play it. I said that I’d hoped he would, so he picked it up and launched into that number. We didn’t have much film left at that point, and so I told him that he’d have to do it in one take but it was just one of those magic moments that happen sometimes.”

    Jimi played the blues. You can hear it on this 12 string acoustic guitar. His songwriting was the Blues. I didn't realize that when I was younger. I think it was BB King who said, Jimi was a blues man....something like that. Jimi had fun, especially on stage. He was humble but not depressed. Jimi died of an accident, sleeping pill overdose. He passed away because of complications from that unfortunate event. That's all I'll say about it here. I encourage people to look up the facts because lots of false rumors exist.

      Actually it was inhalation of Vomit.the ambulance people lay him on his back didn't clear his throat. He had been drinking and had a meeting the next day so wanted sleeping pills to get to sleep. But was sick and the vomit stuck in his throat. Should have been in recovery position or hiemlik maneuver?

      Jimi had a prescription (legal) for Sleeping Pills in the U.S.A.. He usually took 3 to go to sleep.
      He ran out of his prescription, and was given 3 German sleeping pills by his German girlfriend. Those German tables were 3 times stronger than his American prescription. He did die of vomit inhalation and was dead before the ambulance arrived.
      The German girlfriend was very negligent in how she handled it.

    Jimi was so damned humble. He never considered himself to be great, let alone "The Greatest." He was such a cool and generous person to other people. There is a l;ot of video with him talking to and fooling around with guys like Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, and other Rock Stars of his time, and it seemed they were all in such awe of him, until they began talking with him, and then everyone just relaxed around Jimi. Very humble man.

    I've watched this several times, gotta admit the first time, and a couple times after, shed some for him. I love the sweet Blues comin outta his mouth, such a gentle voice. Think ur correct about his aura, seemingly sad and downtrodden. He sure was colorful here, that style and fashion looked outstanding on him. Asking permission to start over, can you believe that !? That's his personality right there, shy, unassuming, soft-spoken. But damn, he could make some noise! Genius, legend. ☮️to all.

One of the 27 club, and personally I think his death was a CIA hit. Because of his humble persona, was was well loved and had allot of influence in the world. I believe the same about John Lennon and Jim Morrison.

He was just trying to get it right 😔 it was tough during the 70s ... (Not saying that's what the song is about, generalizing about his possible headspace... I believe this song is about a broken heart) The racial tension then was being fought out on the streets... MUSIC BROUGHT SO MANY PEOPLE TOGETHER ❤❤❤❤

    when Jimi showed up. I remember getting Are you Experienced, then Axis. Those completely blew me away. Never been the same since.
    Jimi just fit into the amazing cosmic stuff like 2001: A Space Odyssey that was going on as much or more than even the Beatles. He seemed to be from another and better world in the midst of the Vietnam War, Civil Rights marches, Dr King and Bobby Kennedy being assassinated. That was all happening when I was in junior high.
    Jimi helped us get thru it with amazing constructive, creative energy and sweet psychedelic soul blues rock music from outer space!
    Castles Made of Sand fall in the sea, eventually.

    What is remarkable about this clip is this: Jimi went into the BBC studios for an interview, and they set him up. Everybody was saying that he was using the guitar as an electric noisemaker, and they wanted to see if he could really play. So they got a 12 string guitar and had it tuned left handed (which is very rare) and they had it there, knowing that Jimi would probably pick it up. In fact, Jimi had never played a 12 string before. And then when he started doodling on it, he realized that they were FILMING HIM!!! So he stopped, and then played a song for them - one that he had written - Hear My Train a Comin. And a lot of acoustic players were floored. They said... "I can't do that..." What they found was that he was an absolute master of the instrument. A true artist.

    as for Jimi, yes he was THE Rock guitarist of all time, BUT his music was rooted in the Blues and also the funk and soul music of the day, his rhythmic accompaniment a result of listening to Soul artists like Bobby Womack and Curtis Mayfield and also Jimmy Nolan, who was James Browns main guitarist
    JUST listen to the original recordings of "Cry Of Love" and" Rainbow Bridge", both of which were released after his death as single records", BUT were "INTENDED" by Jimi originally as "Double Record"
    Listen to "Freedom" Eazy Rider", Dolly Dagger",and from band Of Gypsies "Message Of Love "Jimi had been gestating, and gettin back to his R&B Roots, featuring altogether a more ensemble approach, with an accent on compositions and less "jamming", as these recordings reflect

    Young Man, Jimi Hendrix is one of the 3 masters (Jimi, Bruce Lee, Ali). Jimi will blow you away, but you have to listen, the more you listen the more you will hear. Check out: Jimi Hendrix "Johnny B. Goode" Live from Hendrix in the West, Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe" Monterey Pop Live, Jimi Hendrix "Like a rolling stone" Monterey Pop live, "Star Spangled Banner" from Woodstock and his Masterpiece "Machine Gun". After that any studio versions of, "Red House", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and many others. Then pass it on to other young people, the man was truly a Legend!!! If heard, people will be more impressed these days then some of us were when he first came out. There will never be another like him. Sadly, his family seems to want to regulate him into obscurity by blocking a lot of content. Help keep his memory alive; he loved music too much not to heard... Peace!!!

The 101st Airborne categorized Jimi as a “Genius Savant” not a regular ol Savant! Humble, listened more than spoke. And some kind off Magical Savant on that guitar…… I’ve loved Jimi for more than 50 years and the trip never gets old. I’m simply able to process as much as a pretty smart kind of guy can...

      Alan Douglas produced jimi hendrix: Blues, not the hendrix family. That album came out in 94, the hendrix family didnt release anything until 97.
      Also of note on that album, mannish boy is many takes spliced together. You can hear most of the takes on the 10 CD set called "in the studio" its a bootleg. Also the beginning of electric church red house was from a different take and tacked on by Douglas. The harmonica on once I had a woman may have been recorded and tacked on much later as well.
      That's how Alan Douglas did things, remove bass and drum tracks, have new ones recorded by session players, he even added in new guitar tracks by others. He would take un finished recordings and splice things together to make a complete "song".

    This sounds like it just came straight from the Mississippi delta...that sound...that vibe! But he was from the Pacific Northwest. It was in his soul. He got his start touring with Little Richard and The Isley Brothers and influenced a very young Ernie Isley that you hear throwing down on that famous Isley Bothers track "Who's That Lady" !

      I'm left handed but play guitar right handed (thank god). Nobody made good lefty guitars back then and that's why you always see him play "upside down". If the 12 string was actually the film makers' guitar, they must have re-strung it minutes before he played it and the strings would not have sat properly in the grooves designed to hold them in place. Wish he had recorded more acoustic as the old blues players were his inspiration.

I am a huge fan of the old blues & glad I am from the deep south {Georgia} where a lot originated from old slave songs! My favorite song has become one of his "newly" released songs "Hear My Train A Comin"! I can get some good "head change" & listen to it full blast & just groove!

    When I was a kid growing up in LA, I remember hearing Jimi Hendrix at a hippy Vietnam Vets house. They would smoke these weird smelling ciggies, and play this wild rock guitar music. I remember asking who it was, they said Jimi Hendrix man.. I was maybe 6 or 7 yo, and Loved it....
    I'm in my late 50s now, much of his music is still challenging to play correctly...

    I once saw where Albert King said Jimi Hendrix couldn’t play blues. I guess he never saw this. This is the REAL SHIT. This that sho nuff kinda blues my grandfather used to play and sing. The kind that connects you to the past on a deep level. Raw. Kinda like Lightnin’ Hopkins. Man, Rest well Master Hendrix.

    Welcome aboard Jimi's love train. I b'en hooked on Jimi the man, his life story, his music, his soul, his style: fashion or otherwise, his stories, his retelling of americanism, his escape from al and seattle, his discovery of Bob Dylan and the influences he gleed thereof, the talent he harvested from within and his generous sharing of his life to posterity and the many fans he generated and Microsoft for making the world a smaller place in which to share likes. This song includes lots of autobiographical references, old blues styles and sadness, and current language of the day. Dig. Oh, yeah. The red wine thing is a furffy which conspirirrationalist have used to distract attention away from the cause and effect of Jimi's partying lifestyle. He died happy. Painful but happy. RIP American/African/Cherokee Man. See you next month.

    Wow first time ive seen Jimi with a 12 string...We have lost a lot of musicians before their time. And a certain few of them passed way ahead of their time. and I wonder what would have happened in the music industry if they were still alive. 😔 Thank you for sharing this. It's one I had not seen before. Shows his vulnerable side.

    Jimi was shy and humble! He was such a talented guy on a guitar and could sing pretty good as well! Just imagine how good he would be today? Back then he did not have all that technology like they do today! He had the heart for the blues and playing! But just imagine where he would be today with all this equipment, that's if he would use it? Just a original talent!

    This is completely beautiful. The guitar is a twelve string acoustic. Jimi was such a shy and humble guy away from the stage. On stage he was a monster with electric guitar, but this footage shows just how much of a gentle and profound blues player he could be when playing an instrument other than electric guitar. Such a lovely guy. I miss him, and so does his almost soul mate Bob Dylan too.
    Jimi predicted his own death. He knew that red wine would be involved in his death and even spoke of it. He even told his friends that when you are dead you are made, and told them too to have a large party in his honor after his death which they did. Another thing Jimi said was when I am dead, just keep playing the records. This song is very apt for Jimi....his train was indeed a comin'.....and he knew it. In the end it arrived at age 27. The greatest loss to music of a generation. On his passing I wept and wept. Rest in peace Jimi. We all loved you back then, and we all still love you.

    On his “West Coast Seattle Boy” anthology-compilation the final track is another track where jimi plays acoustic but it’s audio only. “Suddenly November Morning” is the title and it’s taken from demo tapes of jimi playing an album he had conceived called “Black Gold” which was to have a cartoon accompany it. This of course never happened with the early death of Jimi but the tapes do still exist and are yet to be released by Janie Hendrix. There was even a song on it where jimi apparently mentioned a daughter but this track is suspiciously the only one to have been “damaged” and lost, which isn’t surprising due to the issues with the current estate holders

    As an old Hendrix-fan I’ve seen these clips several times. I find him very humble and a bit withdrawn. I’ve always found it remarkable that he changes the intro on the second take, and to me thats a sign of a true musician. No one comes close to Hendrix.

    So first off, the man is just a phenominally talented blues guitarist whether on 6 or 12 strings acoustic or electric. Try bending a string on a twelve string at the top of the neck sometime thrn try bending three at a time like he does and see what's left of your fingers. And check out his various live electric versions of Hear My Train" where he basically is playing the base line with his thumbs and rhythm and lead with the rest of his hand throughout the intro - simply mind bending. Also check out Born Under A Bad Sign where he plays a number of iterations of 12 bar blues lines seemingly backwards and forward and then turns them inside out and does it again. I think you've already reacted to his Machine Gun live from Band of Gypsies, which is one of the great live rock perfornances. And my favorite of his blues numbers is Red House live off of the Hendrix in the West album which is a masterpiece. Genius throughout.
