”Jimi was a sweetie, a very nice guy. I remember him opening at the Saville on a Sunday night, 4th June 1967. Brian Epstein used to rent it when it was usually dark on the Sunday. Jimi opened, the curtains flew back and he came walking forward, playing 'Sgt. Pepper', and it had only been released on the Thursday so that was like the ultimate compliment. It's still obviously a shining memory for me, because I admired him so much anyway, he was so accomplished. To think that that album had meant so much to him as to actually do it by the Sunday night, three days after the release. He must have been so into it, because normally it might take a day for rehearsal and then you might wonder whether you'd put it in, but he just opened with it. It's a pretty major compliment in anyone's book. I put that down as one of the great honours of my career. I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't have thought of it as an honour, I'm sure he thought it was the other way round, but to me that was like a great boost.” - Paul McCartney.

I can guarantee that if you were on stage being filmed at this gig, you A. Wouldn't have pulled off getting back in tune that quickly B. Keep up with your vocals C. Instantly throw in that slick lick & still be right where you need to be. Everything looks very easy when you're sitting still being a bystander, yet once it's you in the hot seat everything changes real fast.
@@Jacob22941 and incorporating it into the song whilst adjusting his vocal tone? I doubt that it would be as smooth as this, he also basically invented this move
First concert I went to Jimi Hendrix I was 12 years old Maple Leafs Gradens May 3 1969 the night before that's when got busted for drugs...my oldest sister took me the ticket was 4.25 cents I was a big fan he was my favorite guitar 🎸 players and S.R,V Jeff Beck..I'm 68 years old now still love Jimi Hendrix music like it was yesterday 😊
It was strung left handed, so it wasn't anything crazy but I'm sure at the time it was very unorthodox. It definitely looks really cool. I've never played one that way but I've always wanted to take a left handed strat and turn it upside down and string it right handed. I have heard that because of the orientation of the bridge pickup that it turned up the bass e and makes the high not so harsh.
Other left-handed guitarists played a right-handed guitar just upside-down without restringing (Dick Dale comes to mind), but, as stated, not Jimi. -In this clip, he's actually just playing a regular purpose-built left-handed guitar.- Not sure why I said this. That's obviously a right-handed Strat being played lefty, still with the strings flipped, though.
@@PapaGoodTymesFender has released at least one (and I want to say more) Hendrix-themed model that is exactly that: a left-handed Strat converted to play righty. Here's a review of one: ruclips.net/video/HVSjVYuBsKM/видео.html
Jimi was with us such a short time and is missed more than any of us expected. I wish he was able to stay longer. Heart breaking having lost him so soon.
Remember that time Jimi Hendrix tuned his low E string?! Goddamn that was incredible, so cool! Highlight of his career, surely will go down in the annals of rock history.
My dad was a musician and we often talked about rock music. I can remember saying “ there’s never been a better guitar player than Jimi Hendrix before “ and my dad said “ Or Since!! “

I have an old Super 8 reel from my parents honeymoon in 1970 I believe. Hendrix was doing a show at the theater at or by Disney World and while my parents were kind fumbling with the camera they saw Jimmy and a couple security guys walking him through the park. They managed to record(no audio) just a few seconds of Jimmy casually walking at Disneyland. It’s a cool item to have. 🤷🏼♂️

@@morganrice9754 honestly as best I can, with the hike in food n gas prices lately. n the great loss of my husband. I've acquired MS from all the stress on top of that. How are you doing?
BB King did this same many times. Its amazing watching when hs is singing changing and tune the string at this same time. Unbelivable, anyway I love Hendrix!
He didn't just tune the string though, he made it part of the song, and he did it with perfect timing in the space of a single phrase. You can see that even Jimi was impresses by how it worked out.
It was not intentional.Jimi always knew that he didn't sing well but his guitar always made up for it. Yep after awhile it didn't matter to us. It was how we expressed ourselves back in the day. The musical sounds were voices. The beats were fantastic and the guitars were smooth and singing.
@@michaelcantu6071 it's easier to sing flat when your guitar is flat then it is to sing in the right key. More than likely, Jimi couldn't have hit the correct note even if he tried, it's very hard to hear one note and simultaneously sing in another key. It would hav even more impressive if he saying the correct note either while playing the wrong on, or what he should have done, just stopped playing and sing the song till he had a chance to tune it during on of the song's breaks
I’d say a very large percentage of guitarists who can tune by ear, have done this mid-song. I’ve seen that man do some awesome stuff with a guitar. But tuning a string in mid song…every day stuff, that most guitarists have done more times than they can count.
@@myguitarwantstokillyourmama really mundane for any guitar player who tunes by ear. People put these “Coolest Moments in Rock n Roll History”, just to get views. #clickbait
@@kidmandude3039 man there’s some awesome music from that era. And Jimmi was pure awesome. But people making a huge deal out of a guitarist tuning their guitar, just blows my mind. Like just because it’s Jimmi, it’s the most awesome thing. They might as well say something like “Woah, Jimmi took a 💩….Man that was something that noooobody could do.” #everybodydoes 😂
His dad didn't think being left-handed was a thing and would hit him when he saw him playing the guitar upside down. Jimi would flip it and play it right-handed with the strings upside down without missing a beat when he heard his dad coming.
@@Jaymes27 my father and the nuns in my grade school forced me to use my right hand. And then the nuns would get mad at me when I couldn’t color inside the lines. I wasn’t the best guitar player in history. 😂
@@craigcarter3449 Yeah quiet as kept a lot of nuns really hate it when people write with their left hand to them it's symbolizes that there's something wrong or that the devil is inside that person I heard that exclamation a lot when I was growing up
Yea fr!! Imagin thinking that tuning by ear is hard lmaoooo you’d have to be one silly dude to say something like, “He tuned it by ear (which is ridiculously hard), live, and while singing” lamooooo 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 couldn’t be me..
I served with Jimi in the army for a short while, he was a genuinely nice person, always putting others before himself. What i remember most about him is that he always seemed to be pondering something important, always in deep thought. I think he knew his time was short, but that's my opinion.
How anyone could play so well and be as bombed out as he usually was astounds me. I’ve tried to play that way and was totally lost lol. He and his instrument were truly one.
One of the coolest memories of Jimi Hendrix That I have. Watching the Woodstock video. And him playing the national anthem on the guitar. I was born in 1969. And I've always wished I could have been there. That must have been an awesome show.
He wasn’t playing in tune….his bottom E is obviously out…it sounded like shit. I’ve seen guitarists tune on the fly while playing hundreds of times. I think most of the people in this comment section are non-musicians or mediocre musicians at best..because tuning in the middle of a chord is not only common, but it’s also ridiculously unprofessional to have your bottom e off by essentially a whole step. I love Hendrix, but the comments are kind of annoying
You’re 100% right. I clicked on this expecting to see Jimi burning his guitar or something, not tuning his e string. You know, like any other guitar player. I will say, I’m surprised it wasn’t a LP g string going out it whack 😂

Getting back in tune while still playing is something guitarists have to worry about sometimes. And when you play as acrobatically as Jimi did, you risk going out of tune more often. Nowadays Fender makes tuners that lock in place, but Jimi's Strat was from another age. And another universe.
I strongly agree. I love this clip. I think society as a whole weighed on him heavily. Making it in the UK and being accepted there as the greatest., then coming back to fucked up America as it was at the time and having to cope with all of the racist bullshit here. Then retuning to Harlem where his own people didnt see him as black enough. And he was such a cool down to earth dude. And already by then being fucked over w money hungry promoters that used him and ripped him off. Who could he really turn to? He was right about eveything, and didnt care about the money. Towatds the end he was into jazz fushion and all kinds of cool experimental techniques in music and producing. Way before his time on so much. I guess we can only feel blessed for the short time we had him. He's still the greatest guitarist that ever lived. RIP Jimmy Hendrix.
Jimi is THE coolest dude ever and he tunes the string in a very stylish way for sure - he even incorporates it into the song like it's a special effect - but tuning a string mid-song is routine for any experienced player. It's just nudging a key left or right and you can pretty much guess how much and get very close without even hearing it. Cool moment but not historic, LOL
Guitars at that time got out of tune much easier than most of today's models. And the way Jimi attacked that thing so aggressively, it would constantly get out of tune, so it was prettu common at every live show Jimi did, he was always dealing with tuning it in the middle of the next number. But somehow, even when he had to do that he made it look cool. He often would change the dynamic of a song and as long as the band caught on, he'd play it like it was and in true Hendrix fashion, he'd quickly improvise and end up somehow making that fit and sound cool. Cool is just the best acronym there is for Hendrix. Seemed to come naturally to him. Some people got it and some people don't, it's that simple.
Jimi's whole career was one of the coolest moments in rock history.
Finally! Now YOU I agree with!!! Best comment in this entire thread!!!

I've noticed lately that some of music artists greats are being down trotted on for the most nitpicking ass shit! n I don't appreciate it, cause Jimi Hendrix was surely one of the greatest! RIP Jimi🙏🏼🕊️
When you listen to trash what do you expect? No one here who knew Hendrix was a gift should explain anything to 🖕🏽tards
Hello Arlene, how are you doing over there today ?

@@morganrice9754 honestly as best I can, with the hike in food n gas prices lately. n the great loss of my husband. I've acquired MS from all the stress on top of that.
How are you doing?
@@cactuscultist_2307 Hi I'm here 🤷🏼♀️😄
LOVE WHEN HE SMILES ...ABOUT HIS GUITAR TONE!!!
BB King did this same many times. Its amazing watching when hs is singing changing and tune the string at this same time. Unbelivable, anyway I love Hendrix!
"that's it Jimi thought to himself, tune your string. It was not only then rock changed but the planet re-aligned to it's correct axis"
😂😂💀💀💀💀
Which was a bold move seeing as how we only have love to guide us until then.
He didn't just tune the string though, he made it part of the song, and he did it with perfect timing in the space of a single phrase. You can see that even Jimi was impresses by how it worked out.
It’s wasn’t a crazy moment but it’s a cool part of true rock n roll, he had to be trippin tho lol
It's pretty crazy, Clapton was quoted saying he'd never seen anyone tune a guitar mid song on stage before
@@gregjacobs8544 thats not true lol wtf
@@gregjacobs8544 this is bullshit, as Clapton had to do this many times. and yes Jimi tripped a shit load of acid like many in that scene
Only way I ever do it. Not unusual but he's not tripping
BB did this practically every time
Jimi Hendrix is the guitar himself.. the heart and soul of rock n roll music..
The cool part is how he sang the lyrics flat to match his guitar. Just saying, not the coolest thing in rich but still shows a legend improvising
It was not intentional.Jimi always knew that he didn't sing well but his guitar always made up for it. Yep after awhile it didn't matter to us. It was how we expressed ourselves back in the day. The musical sounds were voices. The beats were fantastic and the guitars were smooth and singing.
@@locadisa he didn’t like his singing voice, but he knew how to sing in tune… him singing flat to match the guitar was definitely intentional
@@michaelcantu6071 it's easier to sing flat when your guitar is flat then it is to sing in the right key. More than likely, Jimi couldn't have hit the correct note even if he tried, it's very hard to hear one note and simultaneously sing in another key. It would hav even more impressive if he saying the correct note either while playing the wrong on, or what he should have done, just stopped playing and sing the song till he had a chance to tune it during on of the song's breaks
I’d say a very large percentage of guitarists who can tune by ear, have done this mid-song. I’ve seen that man do some awesome stuff with a guitar. But tuning a string in mid song…every day stuff, that most guitarists have done more times than they can count.
For real. Love jimi but this title very misleading 😂
Yeah, this is pretty mundane for Jimi. He's done way more impressive shit, but still i couldn't have done this 🤣 I would've just fucked everything up
@@myguitarwantstokillyourmama really mundane for any guitar player who tunes by ear. People put these “Coolest Moments in Rock n Roll History”, just to get views. #clickbait
@@kidmandude3039 man there’s some awesome music from that era. And Jimmi was pure awesome. But people making a huge deal out of a guitarist tuning their guitar, just blows my mind. Like just because it’s Jimmi, it’s the most awesome thing. They might as well say something like “Woah, Jimmi took a 💩….Man that was something that noooobody could do.” #everybodydoes 😂
Breh I just play in my living room and I be tuning during the song sometimes 😂
The single Greatest rock star.
This is why the most important part of musicianship is LISTENING! 👏👏👏
Jimi was absolutely amazing, his looks , style , talent , persona and charisma and Omg that smile is absolutely gorgeous!
I couldn't agree with you more !!!!
Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fender offered to make a left handed Strat for him. He refused. He liked it being upside down.
The whammy bar was easier to reach that way.
Not only for wammy bar..... Change sound.... He just found his way...... His own way😉
His dad didn't think being left-handed was a thing and would hit him when he saw him playing the guitar upside down. Jimi would flip it and play it right-handed with the strings upside down without missing a beat when he heard his dad coming.
@@Jaymes27 my father and the nuns in my grade school forced me to use my right hand. And then the nuns would get mad at me when I couldn’t color inside the lines. I wasn’t the best guitar player in history. 😂
@@craigcarter3449 Yeah quiet as kept a lot of nuns really hate it when people write with their left hand to them it's symbolizes that there's something wrong or that the devil is inside that person I heard that exclamation a lot when I was growing up
Well, this guy should see me in action then. That's the 1st thing I do when pick up my guitar, is tune it.
Yea fr!! Imagin thinking that tuning by ear is hard lmaoooo you’d have to be one silly dude to say something like, “He tuned it by ear (which is ridiculously hard), live, and while singing” lamooooo 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 couldn’t be me..
@@supermelvinfell it's not that hard
@@supermelvinfell I guess I am Ridiculously talented ¯\_(°°)_/¯
@@supermelvinfell it really isn't that hard musicians do it all the time.
@@supermelvinfell tuning by ear is ridiculously hard? geez, I can't even think of what to say ...
I served with Jimi in the army for a short while, he was a genuinely nice person, always putting others before himself. What i remember most about him is that he always seemed to be pondering something important, always in deep thought. I think he knew his time was short, but that's my opinion.
cool
He had a lot going on in his mind, like all geniuses
did you get to hear him play guitar in person?
Okay buddy keep them coming😂😂😂😂
CoolStoryBob
Cool was good to see Jimmy smiling
How anyone could play so well and be as bombed out as he usually was astounds me. I’ve tried to play that way and was totally lost lol. He and his instrument were truly one.
Cool clip, it’s like he’s still with us. Jimi Hendrix lives on…
One of the coolest memories of Jimi Hendrix That I have. Watching the Woodstock video. And him playing the national anthem on the guitar. I was born in 1969. And I've always wished I could have been there. That must have been an awesome show.
And we didn’t even get to see when they cut out mid song to play Sunshine of Your Love since Cream broke up. Pulled them right off the air
Just curious.... I thought that was on Lulu (black and white)? I thought this was the one where he threw the Beatles' chords from I feel fine?
That's what I was waiting for also....
Mr. Legendary man himself Jimmi Hendrix🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Insane, he was really able to play in tune with a untuned guitar, pulling the strings in tune.
He wasn’t playing in tune….his bottom E is obviously out…it sounded like shit. I’ve seen guitarists tune on the fly while playing hundreds of times. I think most of the people in this comment section are non-musicians or mediocre musicians at best..because tuning in the middle of a chord is not only common, but it’s also ridiculously unprofessional to have your bottom e off by essentially a whole step. I love Hendrix, but the comments are kind of annoying
@@freeman7079 youre exactly right
You’re 100% right. I clicked on this expecting to see Jimi burning his guitar or something, not tuning his e string. You know, like any other guitar player. I will say, I’m surprised it wasn’t a LP g string going out it whack 😂
@@freeman7079 Don't read those comments. It must be hard for you, being annoyed the whole day.🤣 BB king did replace a whole guitar string by himself...while playing on stage! There's a video from it, remarkable!
@@freeman7079 Yeah it's not hard to tune on the fly unless you're tone deaf. Plus that part of the song was an easy moment to do it.
OmG, I'm swooning. That beautiful smile!! ❤
As a guitarist that jams everyday… I do this each time! Why so cool?!
If you were so overrated as Hendrix it would be that cool...
When your on stage live with a few albums under your belt then we'll explain 😂😂😂
Because he’s Jimi Hendrix. You’re not.

Sadly missed loved you Jimmi
Forever will be known as the #1 guitar player who inspired 100’s of others rip jimmy gone but never will be forgotten 🎸🔥💯
Just ask sting who influenced him #1 Jimi Hendrix
The greatest guitarists ever,hands down!!
Coolest cat to ever walk a stage
Second maybe I was the coolest cat to hit the stage no doubt then again I was off stage too
That is not a cat, that is Jimi Hendrix silly!
Still missed and dearly loved 🙏❤️
Getting back in tune while still playing is something guitarists have to worry about sometimes. And when you play as acrobatically as Jimi did, you risk going out of tune more often. Nowadays Fender makes tuners that lock in place, but Jimi's Strat was from another age. And another universe.
What a brilliant smile, Jimi
...💙🙏🙏🙏💙 R.I.P. Jamie Hendrix 💙🙏🙏🙏💙...
He did show a charismatic smile for us. if he knew we'd be watching on our cell phones today...... he couldn't have known what they were.
@@wendyanne5894
Mimi’s eyes shine !
Hendrix said “this cannot be” and actually warped reality to put him back in tune
He was always tuning as he played. And in between songs, even when he wasn't tuning down to E flat. Damn whammy bar . . .
Wrong...everything Jimi did were the coolest moments in rock and roll history
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This man is pure magic.

Name me one other guitarist who could tune their guitar. Don't worry, I'll wait...
@@michaelhaydenbellDuane,Randy, Dime bag,
@@psmith669 Pffft YEAH RIGHT!!!
He was cool as sht. We’re being robbed by not having him around, should find who is responsible. More candid Hendrix content on my feed pls.
I strongly agree. I love this clip. I think society as a whole weighed on him heavily. Making it in the UK and being accepted there as the greatest., then coming back to fucked up America as it was at the time and having to cope with all of the racist bullshit here. Then retuning to Harlem where his own people didnt see him as black enough. And he was such a cool down to earth dude. And already by then being fucked over w money hungry promoters that used him and ripped him off. Who could he really turn to? He was right about eveything, and didnt care about the money. Towatds the end he was into jazz fushion and all kinds of cool experimental techniques in music and producing. Way before his time on so much. I guess we can only feel blessed for the short time we had him. He's still the greatest guitarist that ever lived. RIP Jimmy Hendrix.
Typical liberal statement. Newsflash! He was responsible. Nobody got robbed he killed himself with immaturity and drug abuse. End of story.
@@JC-sj2pd you seem cool.
@@pattyorozco5567 well said
When I was studying guitar I couldn't learn enough Hendrix songs.
I teach you how to play guitar 😅
He was always out of tune. Fender didn’t make good tuning pegs back then
Yep. They still don't, in my opinion. LoLolLA
Paul McCartney had to mention that, they couldn't comprehend how good Jimi was!
Always? Sometimes, when he used the tremolo bar.
Love Jimmy The Best of all Every in this Era’n
Hello friend, I’m Morgan and you ?
KING JIMI
It's just incredible how a professional guitar player can tell that their guilt is out of tune, it's just the coolest thing in Rock n' Roll history.
The greatest guitar player ever Jimi Hendrix🕊🥀🙏❤️❤️❤️
Jimi is THE coolest dude ever and he tunes the string in a very stylish way for sure - he even incorporates it into the song like it's a special effect - but tuning a string mid-song is routine for any experienced player. It's just nudging a key left or right and you can pretty much guess how much and get very close without even hearing it. Cool moment but not historic, LOL
VOO DOO CHILD TALKING ABOUT DOING THAT STRING THING BENDING OR MOVING HE COULD DO IT
AND YES HE WAS COOL
I tried climbing the stage... But got high
Smooth as Silk
God I loved that man one of the coolest and most talented guitarists ever!!☮️❤️
LEGENDARY ROCK N ROLL!!! Where IT ALL Started FROM!! JIMII!!
post that iconic moment when he turned his amp on! omg epic
🤣
That's 1 of my favorite songs for jimi plus many more .
Wind cries Mary 😢
Guitars at that time got out of tune much easier than most of today's models.
And the way Jimi attacked that thing so aggressively, it would constantly get out of tune, so it was prettu common at every live show Jimi did, he was always dealing with tuning it in the middle of the next number.
But somehow, even when he had to do that he made it look cool.
He often would change the dynamic of a song and as long as the band caught on, he'd play it like it was and in true Hendrix fashion, he'd quickly improvise and end up somehow making that fit and sound cool.
Cool is just the best acronym there is for Hendrix. Seemed to come naturally to him.
Some people got it and some people don't, it's that simple.
Couldn’t have said it any better
@@BonesofGoldSkateboarding well you could have if you knew what the word "acronym" means. that would be a start at least.
Jimi was the coolest cat on the planet and still is!
