The fact I love most about Jimi was how humble he was. Onstage he was quite the fiery and innovative performer and musician, but offstage he was quiet, soft spoken, very polite and in awe of his influences and other guitarists in his orbit.
It’s why I actually lobbed hearing Townshend, or Albert King, because they are so full of themselves.
Watch SRV with King, and see how much he holds back, because Albert can’t keep up. Townshend compliments him, but with passive aggression, because he had a mindset of being the best, even just within his own mind, or he’d stop playing altogether.
For electric players, he just could usually control, or go with the flow, of the chaos of a cranked amp, feeding back and generally being unruly.
It’s sad in the last year of his life, he still had a terrible road crew, who didn’t know how to setup for bigger venues, and he constantly fought audio problems. As well as the fact, that Michael Jeffrey was touring him to death, with Jimi recording any chance he could get in between.
Very well said... succinctly so true.
Jimi was like no other,he was a very spiritual being I feel.I really enjoyed his creativity on the guitar ,it really makes me wonder where he got it all from !

@@CorbCorbin I'd have loved to see Townsend's jaw, as Jimi stood up on
that chair before him and put his ego
to shame. He thought... that because
they both destroyed equipment/gear
that it put him on Jimi's level. Not so
fast. Jimi played circles around Pete
Townsend "who" relied on antics and
volume to which Jimi had in spades!
What he leaves out is how advanced
Jimi's playing was compared to his...
And said whatever he said fact being
Hendrix was no longer alive to refute
his rubbish. Disrespectful. Born outta
envy and sour grapes that Jimi -stole
not his act, but space in his egomind
AKA inflated head, ....rent free.
If Hendrix isn't your favourite guitarist then he'll probably be your favourite guitarist' favourite guitarist
SRV is my favorite so looks like you are correct lol
Eddie Van Halen is my favorite guitarist, and Eric Clapton was his favorite guitarist.
Rory Gallagher as good if not better
Check him out
@@tonymccusker501 Dude please don't 😂😂
He did, however, say that Rory Gallagher was the best living blues guitarist. I agreed with him at the time. But now Rory's gone too.
My favorite story about Eric Clapton on Jimi Hendrix...
...There was a particular night when Cream allowed Jimi to join them for a jam at the Regent Street Polytechnic in central London. Meeting Clapton had been among the enticements Chandler had used to lure Hendrix to Britain: “Hendrix blew into a version of [Howlin’ Wolf’s] ‘Killing Floor’,” recalls Garland, “and plays it at breakneck tempo, just like that - it stopped you in your tracks.” Altham recalls Chandler going backstage after Clapton left in the middle of the song “which he had yet to master himself”; Clapton was furiously puffing on a cigarette and telling Chas: “You never told me he was that fucking good.”
One of Jimis's biggest admirers was Stevie Ray Vaughan. He idolized the man and because of Jimis's inspiration became one of the masters of his craft. Watch him playing Voodoo Child and Texas Flood live at El Mocambo. A tragedy that two of the all time greats died so young.
That El Mocambo performance is unreal ! Had it on vhs as a kid and have it on DVD now , I watch it a couple times a year . SRV dedicated a lot of time emulating Jimi and I'm not saying that in a derogatory way ,imo he was the only person that truly understood what Jimi was doing and always viewd his covering Jimis tunes as a tribute to one of his heros . Both of those guys manhandled their guitars and made it sound good !
@@sunoclockoneday2576 I couldn't agree more with you on El Mocambo. Anyone who hasn't watched Stevie Rays performance there is missing out on so much.
Yep, at El Mocambo Stevie really is on another planet.
El mocombo in Toronto????
The Little Wing/3rd Stone jam is insane!
Jimi could touch your soul with his playing. Electric church music indeed!🎸
I still find new elements in his songs enough said
The real genius of Hendrix was his ability to combine rhythm and lead together- it gives his playing a lot of overtones and harmonics that make it really beautiful and different. You're hearing the notes running over one another- but instead of crashing into each other and sounding muddy- they're complimenting one another and creating harmonies that color the music.
I was looking for this comment, thus it amazes me that still people chirp "he's over rated",. That in itself shows me they never really listened or watch him play. Because you are spot on, his fingers did things that boggles the mind, a true legend, a true pioneer of sound and what can be achieved when you think outside the box.
I like the way he never played a tune the same way twice always doing these creative add ons.
@@evetsnitram8866
What!!! So he never played "Hey joe" excacly the same? You'll find if you actually watch and listen that he does. And alot of guitarist use free expression playing live, especially a solo, watch Jimmy page live.
@@71771PAULTHEWALLOFSOUND I just listened to him play Hey Joe at the Beat Club, Monterey and Winterland. All had quite a few differences. I can think of many guitarists that vary their solos.
@@evetsnitram8866
I'm not saying he never does, but why is that an issue? He can play every track the same, but live he improvised alot, and partly that's why he's one of the greats, can think on his feet and produce great riffs and solo's.
Jimi's soul literally changed the atoms in his guitar. The man played things even the universe couldn't invent. He's touched more people in Rock than any other guitar player in history. Virtuoso. Absolutely 1.
Thats impossible
@OWL: What a poetically insightful way to describe Jimi's abilities and effect... Agree 1000%
@@englishorchard-haze4708 "A virtuoso...is an individual who possesses outstanding talent and technical ability in a particular art or field such as fine arts, music, singing, playing a musical instrument"... How does that not apply to Jimi?
Oh Please… OWL, I think you've been out in the sun for to looooooong. Jimi Hendrix SUCKED!
@@persephone1062 It's because Jimi didn't sweep pick arpeggios.
Some modern guitarists dismiss Jimi and say that he wasn't that good. . His technique was perhaps a bit slapdash. . Or maybe his speed wasn't all that fast etc. etc. etc.
BUT They are looking BACK from a modern perspective where all those techniques and style and whatever are common these days. .
In the 60's NOBODY played that way. . There were tiny elements that one or two players MAY have used - occasionally. . Little 'tricks' and licks that they incorporated in their playing.
But Jimi took those little things, and put them together in a new and AMAZING way that NOBODY had heard before (who cares if it was sloppy playing or not?)
Even his contemporaries. . the "GODS OF GUITAR" of the time, saw him and heard him and INSTANTLY recognized his huge talent. .
"WOW! This dude is a threat to me". . Or . . "WOW. . I have to learn how to play like that!". . Or "WOW! I don't know what he's doing or how he's doing it. . But THAT is great guitar playing"
He was the first to develop and use and highlight certain elements and stylistic bits in his playing that were new and unique. . Everybody has learned from him (whether they know it or not, or admit it or not . . . doesn't matter)
Modern electric rock guitar playing is built on the foundation of Jimi Hendrix and his playing style.
100% facts - And also modern guitarists have the luxury of being able to study in comfort from dvds, and to take private lessons. Jimi was figuring all this stuff out while usually living hand to mouth in grinding poverty, and using guitars that were not designed to do what he did with them. There were no Ibanez, or hamer guitars with fancy floating tremelos etc. They design guitars to play in the style that he practically invented. Privilege sometimes breeds ignorance and arrogance. Jimi's whole attitude was to just be HIMSELF, not to be a *Rock Star/ Guitar God* (even though he so obviously was that!) and fall into the faux rawk posturing and tired clichés that the genre has wrapped round itself in the last 50 years since he left this world. Rock "rebellion" soon became simply a corporate IP and a financially lucrative lifestyle choice for his legions of suburban pretenders. But Jimi was an artistic rebel to his core, and a genuine ORIGINAL. 🎸🖤
I agree ! At that time period, he was untouched by ant other player. The solos to " Voodoo C...slight return" and also solo to " Machine Gun" are absolutely , ferocious & almost inhuman !!! Even by today's standard.
And , let us not forget that melody is a whole other animal. One must almost have to be born with ability to create melody------ he did it ALL.
the greatest ever ----
Yep and John frucainte from chilis carry’s on the legacy quite well thank god
People fail to mention some of the lyrics he wrote were on another level as well , how many of the "greatest" guitar players can say that . Nobody can come close to playing like Jimi, he invented a style that can't be duplicated
Dunno who these mindless guitar critics are. I'm sure none of 'em has a Little Wing, or a Castles Made of Sand in them.
He was so smooth and fluid,in his playing,in his singin,in his spirit!
God bless his soul!!!
John Lee Hooker's comments are the most moving and insightful to me. There's a guy who's been through it, and never actually met Hendrix, but "knew" him. Man .....
I agree with you....... John Lee was always my favorite bluesman, and he, himself , influenced many greats, as he said...... Jimi was a genius- virtuoso . An innovator.
@@stevesither7270 ...JLH was also my favorite bluesman. He and Jimi were both so special in ways very difficult for me to describe, and both hold a very special place in my heart!!
i agree.I was most interested in what John Lee had to say.It's a shame he never met or jammed with Hendrix.Can you imagine how soulful & gritty(John) and soaring above the clouds(Jimi) would have sounded?
@@MrZootalores I just wonder what film of hendrix john lee hooker had watched 3 times before he went to sleep and had dreams of talking with jimi about music and guitars...rainbow bridge? isle of wight? berkely? woodstock? monterey?...he said he watched a 'film' so it may have been rainbow bridge....he didn't say he watched a 'concert'...I thought jimi's rainbow bridge playing was excellent...ezy rider just amazing version...foxey lady also excellent but actually best live foxey lady is royal albert hall 1969...if John lee hooker watched that it would have blown him away...what otherworldly solos he translated from the universe
@@persephone1062 Same here @Persephone ---- Billy Gibbons greatly influenced by JLH too....& Hendrix loved Billy's playing !!
The beautiful thing about Jimmy is, he’s still here! Anybody that knew of him can’t forget him!
It's astounding and sad that a mere four years after arriving in London, Jimi Hendrix was gone.
He was more than a guitar player as Santana explained, he represented a new start, a new way of looking at life to the generation that was there and experiencing those times and his legacy lives on through the fingers of a million guitar players.
murderd because of who he donated to!
Carlos explained something we all forgot; Hendrix,being a product of his times was creating new music & sounds that transcended borders(with a guitar)..of course, Carlos was guilty of that too,Santana forever!
That's an interesting statement. Perhaps London crushed the poor man? I wonder where he came from? Because there was a place where perhaps, a strong spirit could develop. Maybe. The pollution crushed him and an ignorance of prescription medications.
@@MrRobertFarr No his manager is what crushed him. He was enslaved to be on
stage makin money for HIM whether on
a drug, sick, tired, jetlagged...exhausted
from groupie sex, whatever. NY to LA &
back to NY then to Europe all in 1 week.
And still he did his best and rose higher.
Dopes on here putting him down ..have
no clue. They 'd be a bit sloppy at times
too with all his pressures and deadtired
strung out just to keep up. But when he
was rested and ON, the magic boy took
over. An open channel. A vessel for the
ground breaking music he brought to a
violent era, in need of a star like he was.
And he surely was then. Fizzled society
cannot appreciate him enough today....
He not only changed guitar playing, but
also influenced many studio engineers.
Beaking barriers with new applications,
mic placements, experimentation..etc.
And stereo recordings. A rags to riches
story. Poverty to stardom. A Megastar.
Even crazier, is that the first two albums and the first 4 or 5 singles were all done in under two years along with a fierce touring schedule. It's amazing what amphetamine sulphate solution in a baby bottle can do. But then....boom. I don't mean to dismiss him, he was the greatest. But he paid the price for channeling all that energy so quickly. A lot of people muse "What would he be doing now?" as if his greatest works were yet to come. His greatest had long since been done, certainly from a songwriting point of view IMO. RIP. Live long in us all.
Jimi was INCOMPARABLE!!! He had a beautiful voice too, straight from the heart.
@Daniel Thurston: Jimi's voice was uniquely beautiful and compelling... it thoroughly matched his lyrics and his musicianship
Oh please.
1st time i heard Hendrix was around 1975, I was a kid about 10, Crazy, The music was like nothing else, It went straight for my soul, I felt it like no other.. To this day there are few who touched me in this way. A handful maybe... But Jimi's #1
I like when Carlos Santana said 'The guitar became incidental". It put into words what over the years I call "Transcending the instrument".
What made jimi amazing as he was. He was humble if he wanted he could cut heads.
Pete Townsend AND Albert King had
their minds so fucked by Jimi's REAL
legendary success, that you can hear
sourness in their ration-als. Trying to
make sense of what happened. Their
fragile egos never again to be intact!
Pete Townsend is deluded if he puts
himself... in even the same sentence
as Jimi as a guitarist extraordinaire!!!
And Mr. King, as good as he was, NO
-he couldn't play Jimi's songs, -didn't
teach him "a lesson," and absolutely,
underestimated Hendrix's blues as a
guitarist. Albert had his own style of
boxed in playing which was unique...
but Jimi playing the blues pulled his
playing from influences, true pain in
his life, competitiveness such as the
few comments here, and intensity in
fact that is just off the charts badass
-on a good night! When Jimi was ON,
he was unfathomably great! And the
ego's of his era couldn't process this.
Even John Mayer sounds like he has
to try a lame reasoning -why he falls
short! LOL. 27 club? C'mon. As great
as Jimi Hendrix was when not out of
it from being worked to death (travel
drugs, tons of sex ;) he still -could've
done even more. His ballads express
who he really was beyond his playing
prowess on stage. Long live the *real
king Albert. And JIMI was humble on
top of all his talent, unlike many here
obviously. He was hungrier as a man
seeking salvation thru his music too.
Coming from poverty, his was a rags
to riches (stardom) story. And 15-27
was not long, to ascend to such true
legendary status with the respect of
most...of his peers. Peace.~
Well put!
Complete nonsense. Albert King was every bit hendrixs equal
Those were some fine words to express Jimi Hendrix, thanks Ray.
Ray/X-Ray- Outstanding and again, very well put. Bravo!
@@aaronjohnson3463
Even if one doesn’t agree about playing ability, or sound, Hendrix was a far better songwriter, in an era full of many of the greatest ones.
Jimi played his kind of music in a way that separates him from the other deep intense in pure heart and soul.
With all due respects and considering the time Jimi was alive it's like a gust of wind blowing past us everytime we today hear his music. We needn't ask or wonder what he may have sounded like today what he sounds like on his videos says it all.
.....or maybe a passing storm. Beautiful sentiment and so true.
Albert, Jimi had the blues and a whole world more than that that nobody can touch. Jimi was the GOAT.
@Kevin Clancey: Amen!!!
Pioneering yeah! The GOAT no!!
Bro a hater. No one could play the guitar like Jimi 🎸🐐
Its jealouse
Jimi was the most amazing guitarist of all time...
@Ross Williams: AMEN!!!
To really understand the genius of hendrix , you have to know what came before him. And see his contribution in that perspective.
There was a young guitarist at the Guitar Shoppe in Laguna Beach, CA, today playing Third Stone From the Sun. I remember my brother cranking that up on a 4-track in his VW van in the 60s and my reaction at first hearing it. I couldn't believe those sounds were coming from a guitar. It was sounding like another world and it was.
Jimi would have loved what John Lee said about him. awesome how calm an peaceful he is
Same here! John Lee Hooker's comments about Jimi really spoke to me. When I first discovered John Lee's music, I immediately got a strong sense that Hendrix had listened to and been inspired by John Lee's guitar playing & music. When I caught a few gigs of John Lee at local clubs, he was the nicest warmest guy, who enjoyed hanging out in-between sets and talking with us young fans.
Supa Frogg. Like Billy Cox said when he 1st heard jh play in '61 at Fort Campbell: " it sounded like uh cross section of John Lee Hooker & BEETHOVEN"!
Wow. That was a great collection. I really love Jimi Hendrix. I was learning Manic depression when I was in 9th grade and couldn’t get some parts. He came and showed me in a twilight dream. Probably just figured it out because I was obsessed but it’s fun to think about.
I saw Buddy Guy in the B. B. King blues tour. He covered Jimi doing Red House. Buddy played covers of all friends that died. Amazing concert.
LOVE Buddy Guy! A National treasure.
@@constantine7382 Yes! Yes!! YES!!!
Jimi was Transcendent!! You know you are great when other artist's play "victim" or try and "camera convince" themselves as comparable. He too rockish for motown and too soulful for rock. So he created "funky freaky blues"! Best Ever!
I think what Hendrix had above all other guitarists was the ability to be present in the moment. He listened out for an unusual sound while he was playing and then developed it. He picked it up and went with it. Of course, he had great technical ability too but for me it was his ability to improvise and produce fresh sounds that made him stand out.
He had many of the moments you describe, and Jimi loved playing with other great musicians, any chance he got.
He’d bring them back to the studio, record all night, which is how the Voodoo Child(blues) track on Electric Ladyland happened.
His ability to improvise, and either go into a pre-written song, cover or just a one time jam of beauty, _was_ the thing he could do better than his peers in rock.
If only he’d lived a few more years, after resting for maybe 6 months in 1970, we’d have gotten some better recorded live shows, jazz fusion records, etc.
I seriously think Jimi would’ve toured with Winwood, at the first chance he could get, as he mentioned wanting many times while alive. We would’ve seen Jimi with guys like Santana, Miles Davis, Terry Kath, Billy Gibbons, etc…
I agree totally... Jimi had a vibe above all other players. I recently bought a 9LP set (Seattle Boy?) of some of the stuff he did and I was shocked to find some beautiful acoustic guitar melodies on there as well, along with some very cool vocals..😉

Oh Jimi !! The best, always 💞
And one of Jimi’s favorite guitar players was Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top
And Terry Kath of Chicago!
@@michaeltassi6018 No wonder, Kath was nuclear.....
Billy's fave ever is EVH, and Billy has jammed with everybody
Yah. Billy was probably the most creative blues guitarist of his time for me. Hendrix was much more than a blues player, in fact IMO, his best work was done on his early ballads, which although blues based, were not blues. His country element shone in them. Early ZZ was straight Texas blues. And Gibbons killed it. Better, more creative ideas than Stevie Ray, more dynamics that Johnny Winter. I'd put him right up there with his fellow Texan, Freddie King.
Seems like Santana and John Lee Hooker get it best. The beauty of Hendrix to me is his total dedication to his auditory vision. Yes he took ideas, styles and riffs from everywhere, but he had such a clear and fantastically unusual imagination. And he was able to express his ideas and feelings so beautifully through his guitar. His early adoption of effects like the Fuzz Face, the WahWah and the Univibe… they were just tools to make sounds closer to whatever he heard in his mind. Like the guitar solo on “Castles Made of Sand” that he played backwards for recording then reversed the tape to make the sounds we hear on the record. Listen to “1983 … (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)” - I have no idea where his mind was when he composed and played that piece but it takes me someplace special every time I really listen to it. His commitment to his music was complete.
ETA: I left out his spontaneity and sense of humor. Every performance, every song, every note was another experiment. During “Wild Thing” from the Monterey Pop Festival you can hear him wander into “Strangers in the Night” and it’s perfect - and very funny.
@ChipsternB: "WORD"!!!
Very well put. Jimi was attuned to a
wider sweep and scope of our milky
way galaxy. A soundscope of purity!
An open vessel/channel. He found a
way to hear tones and match them..
-in his mind with the hues of mixing
colors. Color coded! This is genius!

Thanks, this was very educational and inspiring. Some really beautiful comments by some really beautiful cats with one exception, I had always heard Albert King was kind of a hard ass. His comments here certainly cement that. "I could play anything by Jimi but he couldn't play any of my music" Yeah, right. I know enough about guitar to say pretty much the opposite was true. Sure Albert might be able to copy Red House but he would be clueless on Voodoo Child (Slight Return) to say nothing of 1983. Anyway, IMHO Jimi's early death was perhaps the most regrettable of all of the tragic early deaths of any musician in any genre. Peace, love and namaste.
Obviously Albert KING doesn't have Jimmy HENDRIX ' phenomenal "musical ear " .....only genius / composers have .
Albert was a first class blues player,at the top of the tree for sure..but he had certainly got hopes mixed up with capabilities there....there is no way he could have played any of jimi's stuff...maybe a version of red house but thats it..I am a huge fan of Albert King but he had some attitude at times...
You tell it !:)
@@hughmongus6141 I agree with you . In all of Alberts years i can't recall him ever covering any of Hendrix's songs & not even Red House . I would have loved to hear him try doing Manic Depression or I Don't Live Today !!!! Jimi could have easily played any of Alberts songs & i believe Albert in his heart knew that. He was very rude at times even if he was a true Bluesman.
I was hoping to see Billy Gibbons because he toured with Jimi and Jimi warned people to keep an eye on Billy that he was going place, and he was right!
Carlos! Absolutely! His description rang so true for me. Jimi played life! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤
John Lee Hooker! I just 😭😭🤩❤❤🙏🏼
Hooker's dream, brilliant!
A great magnanimous soul. He dug deep into the most profound issues of his time and of all time, The only musical artist of his time that was the equal of Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and he was just really getting started when he died. It is even not out of place to discuss him in the context of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven
Oof, did I ever disregard John Mayer by skipping through what he said, I hope everyone did the same because for him to be in this conversation is absurd.
He thought and felt the Guitar and Music beyond anything we knew before🙏😎✌️
The greatest blues guitarist's all have respect for Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker called him a genius and SRV said it best, there will never be another Jimi Hendrix....I have to agree....He was here for a short time but was able to get 3 LPS with the Experience ....Are you Experienced, Axis Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland...I still get a thrill, all these years later, every single time I listen to his music....
Tears...John Lee Hooker! I believe...Jimi Hendrix soul/energy moves in & about us. I admire his ability to connect souls, minds & hearts.
Powerhouse Mr. JIMI
in that Era Jimi was untouchable!
Absolutely since he " atomized " the standart commercial rocksound and brought a new and "fresh" one which keep on running . However
the guitar hero and his never-ending solos is no more the goal . Fortunately . ...as disto , fuzz , effects for electric guitars are often some hide
misery tool !

There will never ever be another that’s for sure …how could there be ?
I love the John Lee Hooker segment, it was just beautiful.
I don’t think John Mayer should have been on there, seemed like a passive/aggressive, sly-remark. He said; “I wanna be like Jim Hendrix...uh, actually, no I don’t...” what’ a clown LoL. What Santana said was lovely.
Minor league player
Love JM's playing BUT your JM comment was SPOT ON.
Not a fan of Mayer. No comparison. He was more or less saying Hendrix was f’d up. Didn’t comment on his music or his amazing voice.
To be fair the title is famous guitarists on Hendrix and he’s a famous guitarist talking about Hendrix
Yeah who cares what whining voice has to say !! F him
I think we can be sure of very few things in the world. One of those is that Jimi is the greatest guitar player that ever lived.
Hahaha hahaha
I think we can all agree that maple walnut is the best I've cream ever!!!
Lol no, you’re just trying to sound cool. Many arguments could be made about other players being the best.
There are a lot more things that we can be sure of in the world. “Best musicians” isn’t one of them because that’s very subjective

What fantastic interviews. I've never seen these before and everyone was so young. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm just wondering where these interviews have been all this time or where have I been, lol..
Give seen and/or heard all of these. Some were in documentaries, including The Jimi Hendrix Movie, and some from specials, or radio shows snd interviews, that were then put into different retrospectives.
The History of Rock n Roll, which was a multi part doc on the genre, has a few of these, in the part about psychedelia and guitar heroes.
This video was SO good. Thank you.
He was a messenger and a gift to us all.
One of the best rock guitarists ever. Probably the most influential.
The best
@@primepap Matter of opinion and many knowledgeable people share yours. It's hard to say there is a best in my opinion. How do you compare Paco de Lucia to Hendrix? Totally different art forms. I doubt either could have played each other's music authentically. Hendrix wasn't a finger picker and de Lucia wasn't a rock guitarist.
Carlos Santana is on another level altogether .
Hey, good day,. Thank you for the wonderful video! When as a kid 12 year old , Used to listen to Jimi Hendrix and all those other guys. They were amazing geniuses. Especially Hendrix. Could go on and on. I’ve been playing guitar for over half a century. Primarily original music. And still suck :-) but it’s a spiritual thing. And he was a great inspiration and still is. This just warms my heart to hear the nice things these other folks said about him. Awesome! Thanks again and have a beautiful day. Jim
Great video!! I had not seen some of the footage. It was awesome!
JIMI HENDRIX LE MEILLEUR GUITARISTE DE TOUT LES TEMPS 👍👍👍👑👑👑👑
Sad to see so many egocentric and vainglorious zero guitarists trying to kid themselves and the public that they were in the same league as Jimi Hendrix as guitar players. I have no idea what planet they think they are on, but when the day of reckoning comes, they will be at the bottom of a very tall ladder, and Hendrix will be at the top alongside Django Reinhardt.
Brilliant !
Theres an interesting story on YT by Chris Squire, the bassist of Yes and how he first met Jimi who became the main act at the Marquee club in London. Yes were the opening band and the Jimi Hendrix Experience had just formed.
Pete Townsend saying that he was competitive with Jimi, 😂😂🤣🤣
There is no contest Jimi is light years ahead of Petie
So funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Pete must of been dreaming . ")
He did mentally what he had to do to carry on! He was crushed by Hendrix to the point of just about quitting so he thought he'd "compete" just as a means of survival.
@@kevindean1327 He thought he was competing but knowone can compete with Jimi 😂
Just goes to show how good he was, he was in competition with Pete and didn’t even know it. I promise you the only comparison being made was by an envious Pedo Pete
Hendrix was a jawdroppin player and one of the few guitarists to take guitar playing to place's never before seen. A true inovator. But Django still has the edge over him

Rory Gallagher is the greatest gui
Great compilation video. And great ending with John lee hooker at #1.
Merci for this.
Albert King - "I could've very easy played his songs. He couldn't play mine." (chuckles) "We played together and I taught him a lesson about the blues." Really Albert? I know Albert influenced SRV and others but as far as blues royalty goes, this King still ranks third behind BB and Freddy. Guitar AND vocals - I would put Red House alone up against any of Albert King's songs.
Albert didnt like any guitarist
Ahhh… the internet never fails to provide ample visibility for the moronic opinions by people who know nothing and do nothing.
As I stated above, Albert had about eight solid riffs, period. An original, signature guitar "voice" to be sure, but B.B. and Freddie were in another league completely. It's a fact that when Albert was starting out, he told people he was B.B.'s brother, that's all you need to know. And while it's claimed that his guitar Lucy was named for Lucille Ball, I doubt. B.B. had Lucille, so Albert had to have Lucy.
@@KidAndersen and yet you're one of us lol
@@shaunmaazza5846 He did like SRV but he showed a different side when they did the video together. Yes Albert came up with the real original Blues cats but he couldn't play Jimi's music & he sure couldn't play Stevie's either. He was a great man & a true Blues legend but he was also quite arrogant at times. He did the same thing to Rory Gallagher when Rory played at Montreux & jammed with Albert. Very disrespectful for such a Pro as he was.
It's what ever guitarist connects to your heart. My GOAT is Duane Allman without a blink.
This is cool. I thoroughly enjoyed myself:)
This is a great video 😀
What made him different was the swagger.
Like he was marching to the beat of a different drummer
It showed in how he played and the way he performed
He was the first person to ACTUALLY play the blues in a rock setting.
Blues is about emotion.
In Blues guitar you play in front of the beat, or after, as the case may be.
You mess around with the timing to evoke an emotional response.
THATS what the Blues is.
An emotion
That's what made BB and all those old Blues men great.
It's not just playing the blues scale.
Anybody can do that
Clapton comes along and plays right on the beat.
Blues scale
Blues phrasing
But always ON the beat.
That's why Clapton, though a master on the guitar, didn't make you feel it the way jimi did.
He played to your head.
Jimi played to your heart.
To this day ppl are still trying to figure out the secret
Figuring out his licks
Wondering why it doesn't sound the same.
Joe Bananassa.
A virtuoso.
So fast.
Probably the greatest blues guitar player of the present.
He bores me
Technically spectacular!
But it just doesn't sound like jimi.
There's an ingredient missing.
Jimi Hendrix was the Ultimate Rock Musician.❤️🎸
Hendrix is one of my favorite rock guitarists of the 1960s my favorite track was "The Star-spangled Banner" at the original Woodstock.
Really cool 😎 hearing Carlos appraisal of Jimi!
I also like Pete' Townsend comment it was very surreal Clapton loved him and it is sad he bought him a guitar he never got to receive it.Buddy and BB King
Gone way to soon like SRV and so many others. Nothing but respectful from all.
the. best. guitar. player. ever. btw, Miles Davis said one time he felt sorry for not having played with hendrix. he said he would like to make a record with him. imagine that. the. greatest. ever.
* It's that goddamned motherfucking 'Machine Gun.'
* Charles R. Cross, Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix (2005), ISBN 1-4013-0028-6.
* Davis' response when questioned on what he heard in the music of Jimi Hendrix.
12:14 the for real blues man. I was turned on to John Lee Hooker in the 80's when the Blues Brothers movie came out. This man has the market cornered on Blues. He is the Blues. RIP JLH
I admit that my eyes got watery listening to John Lee speak.
‘Clapton also HAS Tallent!
Any chance Pete Townsend can tell you how great he is..he takes. Jimi liked Eric because Eric was actually a really awesome player and a humble dude.. He didn't have to tell people how brilliant he is all the time. There was ZERO competition between Hendrix and Townsend. Townsend couldnt even hold Jimi's pick.
Hendrix wasn’t competing, but Pete was.
He always needed someone to try to be besting, whether as a player or songwriter, to fuel his own self.
He’s spoken very fondly of Jimi in other interviews, but there’s always some passive aggression in it.
He admits that he felt threatened by Jimi.
I really think it all stems from the one time Jimi got angry with him in front of other people. At Monterey, Pete was furious about following Jimi, because Pete was still smashing all the gear to end gigs, and he knew Jimi had recently been doing something similar, in European shows.
Jimi stood upon a chair, staring at Pete, and basically started playing to let him know that he was about to do something insane, to show the difference in how he destroyed a guitar.
Then, history was made.
I think Pete knew Jimi was beyond him solely as a guitarist. I've heard him say that one of the times when The Who followed Jimi onstage, he basically "stood and strummed". I think Pete does have to compete with Jimi somehow, for the sake of his ego, and perhaps it's related to songwriting (his greatest strength apart from his frenetic stage presence), and possibly The Who as a band. I think Pete has often acknowledged, albeit with some jealousy, that Jimi was at another level as a guitarist and performer. More than I can say for Albert King in this montage.
Hendrix and Townsend sounded differently no comparison maybe Hendrix and Buddy Guy ,as the 60s came to an end Townsend was laying the foundation for what would be rock and hard rock ,as Van Halen said Live at Leeds would give guitarist riffs to use for the next decade often played much better though by other guitarists Townsend didn''t need finesse
Pete's songs are remembered by millions ..Jimi's, not so much!
@@coolmacatrain9434 😂
2 things come to mind. Did Jimi know before going on stage he was going do things never done before , or did it all just happen in the moment and his genius knew how to direct the energy ?
Innovative genius who 100% changed the craft. Nobody changed the game as much as Jimi Hendrix. EVH ....a distant second.
I was most impressed by John Lee Hooker's comments. He came across as an honest man with real soul. Yes, Jimi did get some of his ideas from John but John didn't hold that against him. It's heartwarming to know that JLH regarded him as a genius and was prepared to say so.
Pete Towenshend being utterly self involved as usual. He was barely on Hendrix's radar.
I’ve never seen or heard what George Harrison’s thoughts were on Hendrix. Has anyone ever heard it in an interview or something?
Bryan Ciliberto. Not I, said the GREEN RABBIT!
Will never be another hendrix
When jimmy was asked whats it like to be the world's best guitarist. He said "I don't know you better ask Rory Gallagher "
Loved his humility .
I love Carlos Santana's comments. It was "the most important era...". Also due to psychedelics that expanded the mind of so many youth and it excelled music into the beyond and is still influential to humanity.
I had the opportunity to see him several times and listened to his recordings, still do. Still this phrase "greatest of all time" always bothers me. It's not like quarterback statistics or baseball. I'd even be willing to grant that he was at least one of the greatest rock guitar players of all time. But when you're talking greatest guitar players you need to take into consideration other realms, perhaps John McLaughlin, Django Reinhardt, and others. Can we all just enjoy Jimi's genius music without having to rank it against others?
I agree but when they say greatest, I think about those who changed the sound of modern music. Jimi was up there with Miles, Dylan and Jaco in that way. Others might think the fastest is the greatest, or who can play the most styles so it's all subjective.
I agree, I prefer “most influential guitarist” than the “greatest guitarist”. Damn near every guitarist takes a shot at a Hendrix lick.
💯💯💯
Where did you see him?
Jimi really enjoyed his music he was generous guitarist when his mother pass he found love in music his experience in pain and hurt but still the music express his heart and mind too give to people love around the world
Cool bit of history 💜✌️💜🤘
How does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world. Jimi Hendrix:I dont know you have to ask Terry Kath.
He said Billy gibbons….they were session players together. If you listen close, you can hear a tiny bit of Jimi in Billy’s playing
@MF Nickster I think it depended on which day you asked him. But….he wasn’t wrong with any on that list!
1970 live at the filmore east with buddy miles the song machine gun Jimi's solo sets him apart from other guitarists!
Jimi mastered the craft. Word!
Kool man
Jimi was a brilliant, innovative guitarist, but Clapton will always be my man. John Mayer should have ended his statement with “I’m not that good”.
Evanscalan, Thank you for saying what i was thinking when i heard his lame statement. Why he was even on this list is a mystery. No he's not that good as he says & that i will agree with.
@@paullevine1813 Talk about mysteries of being on this list, yes I agree with Mayer, but number 10 has never been the best guitarist in his own band, why's he on the list?
As much as I love Jimi, there is no "better". The guitar is an art form, not a fuckin olympic sport
All musicians are great in their own style. Even if they don’t get big or famous. Being an artist is awesome. Every nuance every, mistake, is what makes us unique. Especially, when they’re self taught.
generally self taught musicians are natural musicians . They have no choice : MUSIC loves them . i can name a few : Art TATUM , Charlie
CHRISTIAN , Fats WALLER , Django REINHARDT , Wes MONTGOMERY , George BENSON .......
@@jean-lucbersou758 self taught musicians are the best in my opinion. There’s a friction there you can’t match by teaching. Most musicians that were taught sound almost robotic at times. Take dream theater for example. Great band but too robotic lol.
carlos santana's speech on hendrix is so endearing
Isn’’Mayer with”Dead&CO.now?
