      @@markriobr Hendrix was so electrifying because he made his bones in the old Chitlin' Circuit. He backed up tons of artists like Little Richard and the Isley Brothers for a good while. Richard actually fired him for being too flamboyant. Try to wrap your head around that one. The fact is that to make it in that circuit not only did you have to have solid musical chops, you had to be visually spectacular. Black folks in those days weren't about to spend their hard earned dollars on middling talent. And they let you know in no uncertain terms you didn't measure up. Black folks know about Jimi. Maybe not the Jimi of Monterrey Pop, but certainly the one from the Circuit.

      Hey Marggie! I was just typing this exact thing when I saw your comment. Jimi is the guitar god. Possibly the most influential guitarist to ever live. The timeline is a bit misty but I believe I was a Jimi fan before I was even introduced to Queen. It was Hendrix or Bowie. Can't remember which came first for me. My first time hearing Hendrix was a song called Third Stone From the Sun from his Are You Experienced album. I was mind blown. Manic Depression, Foxy Lady and the album titled cut and I was a lifetime fan. Another life lost way too soon. Kinda strange that my 3 favorite artists all died long before their time.

I put in the VHS player & watched about the first minute & thought "damn, someone tell him his guitar is upside down" & went in the kitchen to get something to drink & as I came back looking at the television & I couldn't understand what I was seeing. Was this guy playing that upside-down guitar with his teeth? I hit rewind & started over. It gave me goosebumps, here I am at 50 yrs old & that feeling is exactly the same....

    (rarest contralto with polyphonic overtones)
    One of my favourite things to find and enjoy is music that gives me chills and goosebumps. I was cruising UA-cam recently and discovered a Russian talent show contestant that did just that, with one of the best, most unique voices I've heard in many years. Her delivery was nothing short of magical and I searched out more and more and more, and...more chills.
    I was stunned to find that the first performance I heard was when she was 14!!!! She's now 17 and still developing. She sings in Russian, French, English and Arabic.
    The covers she performed on that show are very popular on UA-cam. Many UA-camrs publish reactions on these performances, which include the ethnic song "River" (in a new musical arrangement), "Blizzard", "Wicked Game", "Human", "Derniere Danse", "Take On Me" and others.
    Please react to one of Diana's songs and I promise she will surprise you..

    Jimi was one heck of a cool, mellow, laid back dude. On stage he was a monster with a guitar in his hands, but off stage he was the exact opposite, a quiet, shy person, very retiring and reserved, exceptional manners, very thoughtful sometimes. Hard to believe isn't it that he initially was so shy that he did not think that he had a very good singing voice at all. How wrong Jimi was. I love his voice. It is a perfect fit to his music. Soulful, deep, and earthy. Look carefully. That is a right handed strat, turned upside down, and strung to play left hand, but in so doing the stringing arrangement is reversed too. Weird, eh? Rad, Jimi could play with his teeth, between his legs, behind his back, and over his head effortlessly. Jimi could play with his teeth better than some guitarists can play with their hands! He could also play right handed, but preferred left hand playing. You were astounded. How can he do that? Jimi on waking up, would clean up, dress, and then strap on his guitar. He ate breakfast with his guitar strapped on, he went to the loo with his guitar strapped on. Liked the echo effect. From dressing till going to bed, Jimi would have a guitar at hand. He heard the music in his head, and plucked it from the air. He practiced his guitar so much, that the guitar and Jimi were one. That's why sometimes it even looks like Jimi is making love with his guitar on stage. Because playing the guitar had really been removed, as Jimi was so proficient, it enabled Jimi to express himself over the guitar almost effortlessly. Jimi's feelings went straight out from him and over the guitar to you.
    On stage at Regents Polytechnic in London, where he jammed for the first time in the UK with Cream (and nobody did that....I mean jam with Cream as they were considered God's themselves), I saw Jimi crouch down and 'hump' his guitar on stage whilst doing a roaring rendition of Howlin' Wolfs Killing Floor. Ginger Baker was lost for words, Jack Bruce said wow, and Eric Clapton stood with his mouth open. I just said WOW! There have been many disciples like SRV and Prince, but Jimi is the real deal. Nobody before or after has got anywhere near his talent. Jimi was very humble about it too. He did not personally think he was the best. But fact is, he was. Genius. ABSOLUTE HANDS DOWN GUITAR GOD!!! Saw him more than once live, and you can take it from me, he was light years beyond anyone else. Nobody could touch him musically. You can ask anyone who saw him live and they will all tell you the same. When he died, I wept. Without a doubt the most unique, talented, gifted, musical artist of a generation lost at age 27. A tragedy beyond all proportions.
    Next stop? Try Jimi Hendrix, Johnny B Goode, Berkeley. Chuck Berry, who wrote this song, said that Jimi quote, 'Played the absolute crap out of the song.' Jimi's performance starts out with him saying, 'Let's do a little loose jamming with Johnny B Goode.' And then he is off. What happens next is sort of a cross between a guitar, a song called Johnny B Goode, an express train going full speed, and Hendrix. Go look. You'll be absolutely amazed. Another to watch is Jimi Hendrix, Lulu Show, Full Version (Cream tribute). There's a colored version of this now. Jimi over ran the TV time slot, and changed mid way through Hey Joe saying, 'We're going to stop playing this rubbish and play a tribute to Cream. I dedicate this to Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Eric Clapton.' Then he begins. The over run meant that he was never invited back onto the Lulu Show again. Never heard a guitar talk the words to Sunshine of Your Love? You are in for a treat. At the end something else astonishing. I will not spoil it for you.

    When it comes to the electric guitar there is Pre Jimi Hendrix and Post Jimi Hendrix, he changed to way people listen and played the guitar, no other guitar artist is even in the Building 1. He was incredibly creative 2. His technique was superb 3. He was a great songwriter 4. He was a great singer 5. He was a great frontman. He didn’t need to play fast alternate picking runs or sweep picking or tapping tricks , he was above that. No one even comes close to him He invented a whole new style of playing. He by himself changed the way people thought about the electric guitar. He singlehandedly redefined the musical vocabulary of the electric guitar and changed music forever. When Jimi hit the scene people were hearing noises they had never heard from a guitar.

    I've been waitin' for your reaction to Hendrix. He was born and raised in Seattle (as was I). I saw his final concert in the continental US at Sick's Stadium, a small open air baseball stadium in south Seattle that was located kind of over the hill from his childhood neighborhood, shortly before he died. My brother (who was a lead guitar player) took me for my 21st birthday in 1970. The tickets were $7 each, and it was festival seating (which means no assigned seats) and we were behind the dugout, standing across from the stage. The rock guitar was basically invented by Jimi. He influenced every gitpicker who came after him. He was really never known for his voice, but simply the genius he brought to the electric guitar. He played with his teeth, and also his tongue, behind his back, set his guitar on fire, etc. He played a right-handed guitar left-handed and restrung. He mostly played a Stratocaster and most players used a variation of the Strat ever after. He revolutionized the use of at least 3 foot pedal sounds, the wah-wah pedal, the fuzz face and the uni-vibe. Before him, the lead guitar players didn't really use 'em much, but they sure did after he schooled them. And he used a Marshall amp. A personal story for my bro' was that he was reviewed while on tour in Europe and his playing was called a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. High praise indeed. No, he didn't get rich and famous, but he should have.

    Rad my brother, me and my bros saw the movie Jimi Hendrix in 1974, it was 4 years after his passing, we were all 13-15 years old. Spiritual Enrichment on the highest level. What an amazing human Being he was, there wasnt a bad bone in his body. I had the pleasure of meeting Noel Redding and Buddy Miles, exchanged hand shakes and fond words, this was at a gig in studio city, jimis 60th.birthday bash. Thank God I was able to meet Buddy and Noel. Thank you for the vid.

    Great reaction. Jimi was a true legend and innovator. After working mostly as an ace R&B sideman in the US, he moved to England - where he blew everyone's mind. He showed up, and played super- challenging songs, all while playing behind his back, or head, or teeth. No one had ever seen anything like it.

    Hendrix was born and someone broke the mold. When he play with his teeth the "trick" is more in his right hand (he was left-handed guitarist) than in the teeth. ;)
    One of his best heir in his unique guitar style and sound (in my humble opinion) was Prince. You can try Prince covering Hendrix's Red House.

      @@bluetopguitar1104 yes, T Bone was probably the first. But did you notice you don't even need to pull the strings on the pick-ups to make an electric guitar sound?
      Take a look, this is just a simple example:

    I’ve subscribed now and appreciate and enjoy many of your reaction videos. These are songs amd performaces many of your viewers saw as kids, from age 10 (if you had n an older brother) to 20 - and so many are etched on our minds, often after one listen, as things wd cannot and do not wnt to forget. Much of popular music is derivative. In some cases we resent it but in far more cases we appreciate thr traditions and homages as newer music evolves.
    We are watching you go theough what many of us did and enjoying the new directions you are allowing yourself to pursue.!

    Great choice for a first encounter with Jimi. I'm one that considers him not only the greatest guitarist, but the single most important musician in rock. Unfortunately, most of the music from his official releases aren't available on UA-cam.
    Of the ones that are, there's plenty to enjoy; "Rock Me Baby" and "Like A Rolling Stone" from that same show you just saw (Monterey, 1967), "Hear My Train A-Coming" (Albert Hall, 1969), "The Star Spangled Banner" (Woodstock, 1969) and an ever expanding collection of live clips.
    The official audio of some of his classic studio recordings are essential listening; "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", "All Along The Watchtower" and whatever you else can find.

    You should watch this entire concert. Keep in mind, this was his first time playing in America after he went to England and became known. Most people in the audience have no idea who he is and most of them had never seen anything like this performance - you can tell by the blank stares and confused looks by audience members.
    You should check out his song called '1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)' next!

Jimi chows down on his guitar and your reaction kills me. ‘’Okay we are gonna have to go back because I know this guy didn’t just start playing with his teeth’’. 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been watching a lot of people’s reaction and I will say your’s is the real deal. 5 gold stars for this one!

    Please react to his version of our National Anthem. I played it for my Mom. Now she was born in 1924 and she loved how much I loved my music but I don’t think she really got it. But when I played the Star Spangled Banner, I watched her cry. After, I asked her why. She just said…. It was beautiful.
    Jimi’s guitar genre was very 60s, psychedelic. I think that genre actually died with him. But I do think he influenced future greats, not with his sound or style, but with his ability to make that guitar his own.
