THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE BY JIMI YOU NEVER HEARD. HE AND JOHN LENNON USED TO BEAT THEIR WOMEN WHEN DRUNK................................. ROCK AND ROLL IS A MYSTERIOUS THRILL, FAR BEYOND THE GLITTERINHG WALLS OF REALITY, CUPCAKE. ENTER AT YOUR OWN PERIL. I'M A BIG FAN TOO, CARLOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimi definitely tapped into the spiritual before he checked out. People say how far he might have gone but he was already there . We still need to catch up but most are afraid to be totally free to express ourselves because majority of world won't like it or appreciate it. Today all they want is another hit record.Jimi gave us much more that's why we still love him. We didn't appreciate God's gift so he took it away.
Actually, a jealous and insecure sycophant "girlfriend" took it away with her red wine additive. Jimi died a tragically common bluesman's death, just like Robert Johnson..hauntingly uncanny, eh?
What a real Treasure this is - Hendrix solo on just an Acoustic Guitar (tuned way down to Db open 6th String). Almost sounds like a 12 string (lower strings) & quite possibly an unwound 3rd to accomodate Jimi's wide, bluesy bends within his wild tasty licks. Pure flow of spontaneous Genius here - a true innovative on the spot Composer - with Mitch supporting him with whatever was handy to beat on it seems. Sounds like it was recorded on one of those early small portable reel-to-reel tape recorders (with terrible Wow & Flutter) with some tape echo delay added later ? Thank You so much for posting this very historical moment in music history.
Classical too. Many of the chords and melodic lines are the core of a brilliant symphony arrangement. This was all a glimpse to where Jimi was headed in the 70s, and he spoke of all this as early as 1967. Learning theory and arranging strings and harps for his ideas. These are the Blueprints.
@@jimiray1969. Indeed he did! By his own admission, he also loved Wagner and Strauss. After moving into the building in which Händel had lived, Jimi went out and bought records featuring his work. He also listed Bach, Beethoven and Mahler as composers he enjoyed, stating that he would be preferred to be labelled as being akin to them, rather than as a "psychedelic" artist. Jimi was far more than a "guitarist", even though he was "the best". In fact, people who see him only (or even primarily) as a guitar player are missing more than half the point - in my opinion, of course.
@@markrobinson8410 I don't concur with the "wanting to go towards jazz" theory. Pete Townshend has expounded the same idea, but I remain unconvinced. Jimi was interested in pretty much _all_ music. He talked far more about integrating classical elements into his music than jazz. This tied in with his desire to bring the generations closer to each other - one of his main hopes for the future. "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" gives the clearest idea of where he was headed prior to taking that next step, in my opinion. This is especially true of SonicLoveNoize's attempt at a "reconstruction" in my opinion. There's not too much jazz there, is there? Jazz was just one genre that Jimi integrated into his body of work (see "South Saturn Delta", in particular), together with blues, country, rock, funk and numerous others (by his own admission). I would even heretically argue that Jimi "invented" avant-garde industrial with "...and the Gods made Love". I believe that he was really trying to get the sounds that he could hear in his head down onto tape. Those various approaches - and the guitar - were simply a part of doing that.
This is very rare, special stuff...we only have this, and then that film of Jimi playing that 12 string from the movie, and then a short video, lifted from the film that never got shown to the public yet (except once, in RAH, England)...that shows Jimi sitting on his bed in his flat, doing quick versions of Hound Dog, and some other brief stuff, for his friends. including Cathy Etchingham....and that is all we have, so far, of Jimi on acoustic guitar;;;He was no Segovia, but that is not the point...his own playing style comes through, especially on this extended hotel room jam with Mitch....when I hear this, I feel privileged and almost guilty, to hear such intimate, creative chops from this unique musician!
I should mention, that there are a few tapes of Jimi, playing either very softly, or maybe unplugged, on an electric guitar, recording ideas of his into his tape recorder...these were also done in hotel rooms, and are equally interesting...But the acoustic stuff is very rare indeed!
It is amazing how the ideas just flowed so freely from his mind through his fingers. There are the scetches for about a hundred great songs in this one brilliant jam session. Again, nothing short of amazing.
Jimi was unequalled at improvising. It does seem like a constant flow of musical ideas. On the Monterey DVD (if memory serves)Purple Haze plays over the end credits, and you hear one brilliant phrase after another during the vamp. I bought Hey Joe in 1966 and I'm still amazed by his recordings. There is no doubt that he had mastered the guitar techniques necessary to express his art, and his phrasing and command of rhythm and song structure gave form and context to his musical adventuring. I wonder if this is a gift or if it can be learned. Whatever, there is something that sets Hendrix apart from all others.And it's not just chops, is it?
@@peterlloyd5285 No sir! You are correct, it's not in the chops! That's what many people miss, you can learn the notes and licks, but no one is ever able to be as exciting to listen to as Hendrix. His creativity was off the charts. I've no doubt if there had been a way to measure a person's creativity he would be at the top with the titans of the art world. Just my two cents on Jimi. Cheers!
@@Josh93B Yeah...remember, this was recorded a few months after Woodstock...so he was revisiting some of his chops from that powerful "Improvisation" he did there...it is strange, that the 4 minute blast of creativity at Woodstock is not commented on as much as other tunes he performed that day...but it was such a unique, quasi-classical effort!...Man, this dude could just go wherever his creative mind wanted to go!
@@peterlloyd5285 You are so right!...He manages to inject such feeling and emotions into most anything he was attempting...all of this came from a young boy, who was denied familial intimacy at an early age...he had no one to really encourage him...and his mostly missing mom died when he was 15--about the time Hendrix really dove into studying the guitar...it is like he just put all of his hurt and pain into the guitar...and so much of that informs his unique expressivity...it is said so often, but true--we will never hear another Hendrix--his music was too much a part of his very own existence...and when I hear his sensitivity, it moves me like no other!
This is beyond basic power chords you can get by with on an electric. His advanced chord choices in just the right places and their associated scales allow him to portray scenes of clarity from places afar. As individuals, we have our own interpretations of events unfolding in our minds as each movement unfolds in his acoustic journey. It's as if everybody's got their own idea of what an adventure may be it, flying over the highlands, hoofing it across the planes or daring to go wherever a Hobbit sees it so.... . To some it's on a grassy bank by a calm pond shared with a lover, to a, got no time got to get there to save the village, conquer the enemy or get the gold before anyone else does kind of action packed quarter horse ride to victory, to justify our existence and preserve our sanity and our ultimate destination, and everything else in between. That's the kind of inspiration one might feel when he can see what he is hearing through the instrumental mastery of musical story teller with no words across all languages, 'Scene hear' by Jimmy and Mitch. Another master of this was Frederik Chopin. His and Jimi's stories are similar as time, distance, social and technological gaps have no space between them in the imagination of the player and his listener...
Beautiful!!! Wow - what a pair! Mitch is so good with Jimi. Jimi is the master, the magician, the genius - and Mitch goes right along with him - so in tune with him , en rapport!! What a wonderful tape!!! A Super-talented pair. What a joy this is. Jimi is truly a wizard - a Voodoo Chile - a genius, a phenomenon. Magical. Supreme. This is so beautiful to listen to. I could listen to it forever! Thank you!!!
He certainly was a special gift.I love The Doors and The Beatles and what Steely Dan achieved in the 20the century roo.Jimi was Jimi,he was a gift from the gods we didn't get too enjoy for half long enough,thank God for recording technology.
Jimi Hendrix is one of my favorite guitar hero from the Psychedelic Era too, I found some rare material, but it's going to take me awhile to identified each concert by date.
Jimi once said, responding to a flattering comment..."Let's not make comparisons to others...that is when we get into trouble...I personally cannot decide who is greater, Segovia or BB King!...well, they are ALL "Kings"....Hendrix was so humble about his genius.
I had to say, THANK YOU very much for the look behind the door. I am a huge fan, TONS of recordings. Love to hear rare glimpse into his short lived life.. His calming serene voice and demeanor is a curtain to his incredible talent as a musician. There will always be a special place in my heart for Jimi. RIP you will never be forgotten. Thank you AztecPyramid
That Woodstock Improvisation, along with his most stirring rendition of the SSB, really did point to his futuristic abilities on guitar!...Strange, that the Improv, which was IMO the most "explorational" thing he did at the venue, is not often mentioned...yet it is so brilliant!
No, they were usually dueling, feel pity for the poor bassist who had bring them together. It’s like being caught between a volcano and a hurricane and being tasked with making them cooperate with each other.
I is interesting, how Mitch does not hesitate to make on the fly suggestions to Jimi about timing, phrasing, etc. They did push each other to higher achievements, but with obvious respect....I have had a somewhat lower fidelity version of this amazing jam but could not heare their asides to each other...now, and with headphones, more nuances are revealed,,,,this jam is a precious account of the virtuoso quality that Hendrix had when exploring musical ideas...so many brief, but beautiful forays here!...I miss Jimi Hendrix so much!
This is a great sample of the inner mechanism of jimis mind. This seems very on the spot spontaneous jamming, and is in bits and pieces. If t were to be composed there is definitely songs to be had in this recording. You can hear the genius and know it's jimi almost straight away
Hendrix is the greatest guitar player I've ever heard. To put why he is into words isn't always easy, because his playing had supernatural qualities that can only be felt, and not fully described. An example of this would be Voodoo Child (the intro is my favorite guitar riff of all time), where he just explodes on that track, and the best way for me to even explain it in words, is to compare it to an atomic bomb going off. Jimi was fast, stylish, clever, emotional, revolutionary, influential and so many other amazing things as a guitar player, but his playing just had this mystical quality about it, a spiritual force of some kind, that is just hard to put into words.
Jack Bruce (paraphrasing)... "When I first saw Eric Clapton I said well there is a master of the guitar, but while Eric played guitar, Jimi came along and he was more like a force of nature or something."
From 11:00 on its spellbinding guitar and quite technical, romantic, gypsy, classical- having appreciated music from the Hendrix years of 1966-70 it pisses me of that the mob, the suits, the lawyers kept this bottled up, or even a hint of it. Warner Home Video could have put many elements of his music out but the money was all syphoned off as quickly as humanly possible. Hendrix was bought and sold. This audio recording is really amazing, thanks for uploading.
i love your description of his deep cut material. “technical, romantic, gypsy, classical- having appreciated” amazing choice of words. it’s hauntingly beautiful, jimi’s ability to transcend what we knew and know now
..Yeah.... Like Jimi Said "Wrap Me Up in Cellophane and Sell Me and Don't Worry About Looking at The Score" It's So Sad... His Talent was So Far Beyond Anything We All Truly Know 😢😢💔💔💔💔
most of us reading this right now ive been on this earth for 20-50 years and still have no idea where or who we are... making very little impact on the world. Jimi was only really in the limelight for about 4 years... and his legacy to this day is continueing to grow... just imagine what he would have done with 8 or 10 years. or if God wills it a life time...
Hendrix unplugged- this stuff is great! I could picture him doing an album of stuff like this with maybe an acoustic bass and a sax player on some of the songs.
I could picture hendrix with his own sprouted giant magnificent wings holding the reigns of a giant flying turtle in lofty blue skies with just a small puffy cloud or 2 around telling us to wake up its time for school extraterrestrial school.
Thank you for this...the sound quality is upgraded from the one I have, that is part of a three CD collection of rare stuff, called Black Gold, Vol l,2, and 3. came out a long time ago, maybe early 90s.
nice clean up..[lots to study here] there's so little if any acoustic stuff by Jim..[little miss strange , all along the watchtower springs to mind...this is gold ! thanx
I had received a copy of this about 3 years ago.Amazing all the different themes he persued.You can hear what an acoustic Jimi album would have sounded like.He would of course have developed these ideas into even more extensive explorations perhaps with different instrumentation,orchestration,vocals,etc.Perhaps we can use one of those DWave Quantum Computers and retrieve this expanded Hendrix material.If Iam not mistaken it's already been done with a Beatles album called Family Chemistry.I've been working on related possibilities for some time.Conscious Alliances Anyone?Yay Jimi.
+Cordmichael As long as I am able to hear and experience as much of his material as I can, I'll be happy. There are some people that I'm friends with who don't look into live versions of songs that they like, and choose to just stick with studio recordings, but I continue to insist that they are losing out on some of the real magic from so many different artists. Staying away from live recordings limits what you can experience musically, and Hendrix is one of those artists who you just have to hear live recordings of, because it shows just how amazing he was, from improv ability to utilizing feedback on stage, it's just something fans of music should hear for themselves.
Jimi brought out the best aspects of Mitch's drumming skills...after Jimi died, that mojo they shared did not stay with Mitch for very long...and he also hit the old drugs/alcohol trail for several years.
He was a much better drummer than Baker technically and he was a much better ensemble player because he lacked Baker’s ego. He played as an integral part of the group and listened to what the others were doing instead of just keeping time until he had the opportunity for a long, self indulgent solo which he obviously enjoyed but which left the audience bored out their collective mind.
Oh Yeah !!!! I Swear I Keep Trying to Explain to People (Not Taking Anything from What Most of Us Know and Have Heard) But These Type of Settings Where Jimi's Just Being Free and Working on and Sharing Ideas is Where I Hear a Genius in His Mind and Guitar Playing That for Some Reason Gets Clouded or Lost in The Studio Recordings or Live That All of Us True Hendrix Fans Know... It's Just Absolutely Mind Blowing.... God... What He/We Were Robbed of and What Would Have Came From Jimi in His Future Musical Journey... For Example.. Chick Corea is On Record Stating His Idea for Return to Forever was a Musical Vehicle for Jimi I Mean What was That Going to Sound Like...Jezze 😢😢💔💔💔💔 Just for Example..... So... Thank You Evaaa SoSo Very Very Much for Uploading and Sharing This True Jem ☺☺😎👊💯💯💖
Yeah...he was retrieving a few moments from his Woodstock appearance, but with a mind to make a more cohesive musical statement...Rainbow Bridge came about 6 months later.
Jimi and Mitch met at Jimi's hotel room, early Feb in 1970...Hendrix wanted to show Mitch some of his latest explorations on guitar. They had not hung out together for the past three months or so. But they were going to embark on a new tour-(the "Cry of Love" tour)...this a very important tape, as Jimi was seldom captured on acoustic guitar. And the quality here is great!...I have this jam on an old CD from over 20 years ago, but it is muddy...I am so grateful that someone has properly processed this tape, and really brought out the improved sound!...BTW...there exists a tape Jimi made personally, of him simply ruminating about his current mental state, his fears for the future, etc...a shrink would have a field day with that tape!..I hope someone can improve the sound on that one, as it is quite muddy.
@@ndfindndj5066 Yes...others have told me that is the "name" of that tape...It is so rare and a wonderful internal memo, from Jimi to himself! And in the background, some gal is obviously asleep, breathing softly. A crazy ambiance!
It's not in C#, It's close to C#. Think of it like this:Imagine a scale from 0 to 1(C to C#),this is in 0,80. I did a cover of the first one on my channel,but since my strings went out of tune,i did it on D, but on 0,80 scale as i said.Only cowboys stay in tune as he said.
Did you know there is a tape somewhere around with Jimi Hendrix,Rodger McGuinn and Eric Clapton jamming with acoustic guitars taped in 1970 in New York?
vodoo57 alessio, I am obbssesed with Jimi and everything he was about m kid is gunna be named Hendrix hahaha but easy calling him god that's not what Jimi would want at all.
@@benjean3963 Hendrix was kinda godlike, but in reality he was just a human like you and me...who worked/practiced his ass off to be the very best he could be on guitar...so inspiring to think about where he came from, and how far he went, before his personal demons did him in...He is to be admired forever!.
Here Comes the Sun, indeed. This is the holy grail... as with a lot of Hendrix, clustered ideas to be unearthed, translated, and given space. Currently working on a song for the new Fabric album Chasing Sun that arranges a couple parts this. So many harmonic ideas to work through. Plus, a lot of pure soul. Anyone know exactly when this was recorded? Could it have been during the band's several days staying at Diamond Head in Hawaii in 1969? It seems that he put together a lot of ideas that I associate with his 1970 New Rising Sun and Maui period at the time. As well as the Stepping Stone riff, which I think came to "fruition" (not my favorite tune) with the Band of Gypsies, as they debuted it at the New Year's concerts at the Fillmore East. #endwriter #ChasingSun
..Jimi Recorded Everything... Even Other Artists When He Could.... The Two Things He Never Wanted to Be Without Was a Strat and His Reel to Reel Tape Recorder (And I Could Say Judging By This Recording an Acoustic Guitar as Well)
The main thing that strikes me, is Jimi's extreme fluidity!...the spontaneous notes just flow like a cosmic waterfall...we know that he practiced compulsively, from the age of 15 onward...Billy Cox has said that Jimi got 20 years of practice, in just the few years that he and Billy were touring around in Nashville, etc. One of the Isley Brothers clan, commented that, when they housed him for awhile in their family home, he would spend most of the nights, sitting in a chair, repeating various Blues chops over and over, breaking them down, playing them backwards and forwards. He was great, because he really paid his dues on guitar!
Genius the likes of which comes once a century - if we're lucky. And how lucky we are that the technology existed to record Hendrix and such other absolute giants as Django Reinhardt - not just tablature or notation, but recordings of vibrant living irrepressible genius. It makes one wonder what it must have been like to actually hear Paganini play...
ATTENTION ALL GUITAR PLAYERS: This is to be studied!!! 32 minute long stream of musical genius! ,,and not just Jimi's. Every musian that influenced him is represented.
When I saw him in concert, it seemed as if he had one foot in "our" world, but the other in a higher dimension, where Creativity itself resided. Well....in that remarkable poem that he wrote on the back of his guitar, he despondently mentioned that he was deeply frustrated , at not being able to make physical LOVE to the spirit of MUSIC itself! That is a remarkable thing to say!
I am glad to hear such a powerful observation of Jimi's overwhelming talent!...I am a Boomer now...and I was blessed to witness Jimi in concert, twice. Somehow, in a very deep, meaningful way, his playing has influenced my awareness of appreciating talent of such a high, rare type.
Thank you for this amazing acoustic trip into my man Jimi. By the way, Jimi is not dead, God wanted guitar lessons and apparently God does not have the talent to learn Jimi’s stuff. I wish he’d give him back now. ✌️
I do not believe I have ever heard or read anything from anyone claiming to have taught Jimi anything on guitar...except Little Richard who claimed "I taught him everything he knows" but we knows better. Chas said Jimi could do an imitation of Little Richard that was fall-on-the-floor hilarious. How I would have loved to see Jimi do that! This stuff here is sofa king good and proves that anyone who said Jimi had peaked and was used up with no more music in him was just plain wrong.
Jimi did a few impressions!...he would sound like Bill Cosby - the Fat Albert character-, and he would sometimes imitate the gravelly voice of his dad!..
When I first heard hear my train acoustic version I thought it was ok but not great. I didn't think he was a great acoustic player. I now stand corrected. Thanks for posting this.
Remember though...that filmed acoustic Hear my Train, was from late 1967...this audio tape is from over two years later....Jimi was still improving, right up until he died!
his guitar playing are combination of blues, rock, jazz, flamenco, psychedelic combined into one unique style of playing. i bet if he can learn sweep picking, legato and polished this technique, plus with fingerstyle playing, he definitely will kill most of today shredder. Hendrix is a true first rock guitar legend, no doubt.
If u think Jimmi would be better playing legato and "polished his technique", you don't get Hendrix. Or the point of music, for that matter. It's not about shredding in the guitar shop more accurately than the next guy.
Jimi and Mitch were the cool cat daddios.rocked like nobody's business.. too bad that damn Noel Redding was brought into the mix at all. Jimi had to teach him everything all over again, and Noel flipped him ego and jealousy.. . cats were lined up to groove with Jimi, and learn form him and here Noel had the chance of the universe and was a little bitch about it! At least Mitch recognized that he won the rock and roll lottery!
Michael Craig, you are mistaken? The Experience changed the game, and Redding was a big part of it. Listen to the first two records and watch some of the live stuff especially the music from the UK TV shows early on. He was an outstanding bass player and contributed like crazy. And Hendrix did not treat him with respect when Hendrix ditched Miles and got Mitchell back and Cox. Read about it. The reverb on this is driving me crazy, but I am fascinated about where it came from. And I just heard snippets of Captain Coconut.. AztecPyramid AzPy, where did you get this?
William Windham Noel started tons of shit with Jimi, like intentionally playing too loud and ruining numerous songs and live sets. Check out the Stockholm show. Noel fucked things up for himself. That's why Jimi did so much of the bass himself in the studio in later albums and dropped him when he got the chance.
Noel was a dour envious miserable miserly git. He wanted to be a lead guitarist and he was envious of Jimi's fame and resented being reduced to a backing player. He seems to have genuinely believed that he had talent to rival that of Hendrix. Jimi even indulged him by including Redding's goddawful lame 60's pop song "She's So Fine" on the seminal masterpiece that is Electric Ladyland but the latter wasn't satisfied. He derided Jimi's lengthy and complex studio work on Electric Ladyland, insisting they should be making three minute pop songs for the charts. And have you ever noticed that in all the post Experience interviews you hear Redding in, he _always_ refers to "Hendrix" rather than "Jimi"? Redding was a miserable twat. End of rant.
Just when you think you've heard everything Hendrix did . Something Awesome like this comes up Amazing
Yeah so much underground to discover. He’s the Goat🎸
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE BY JIMI YOU NEVER HEARD. HE AND JOHN LENNON USED TO BEAT THEIR WOMEN WHEN DRUNK.................................

Eddie Van Halen was light years ahead of Hendrix and everyone else
The stuff he made up on the fly, was beyond normal talent. Genius, super genius.

Just his creativity, like no one else I've ever really heard, the soul in his playing, something else
Jimi's chord progression and chord changes are Just amagazin.i can hear a lot of jazz in his mind

Another master of this was Frederik Chopin. His and Jimi's stories are similar as time, distance, social and technological gaps have no space between them in the imagination of the player and his listener...
Thank you for your powerful statement concerning Jimi's ability to take us away!
Suck it nerd!
But yeah okay thanks for the insight.
Whif, inhale, cough-cough... Yeah... I see what you, like, mean, like, man... wow...
@@billsadler3 Jimi is playing tonight at the Electric Circus. Can you spare some coin for a ticket?
Beautiful!!! Wow - what a pair! Mitch is so good with Jimi. Jimi is the master, the magician, the genius - and Mitch goes right along with him - so in tune with him , en rapport!! What a wonderful tape!!! A Super-talented pair. What a joy this is. Jimi is truly a wizard - a Voodoo Chile - a genius, a phenomenon. Magical. Supreme. This is so beautiful to listen to. I could listen to it forever! Thank you!!!
if I had too say, he was the greatest recording artist of the 20th century...No one made such quality music at such a volume than Hendrix did...imo
He certainly was a special gift.I love The Doors and The Beatles and what Steely Dan achieved in the 20the century roo.Jimi was Jimi,he was a gift from the gods we didn't get too enjoy for half long enough,thank God for recording technology.
when he died, I was 16 he was my hero. at that time I read there was over 700 hrs of tapes in the studio
Jimi Hendrix is one of my favorite guitar hero from the Psychedelic Era too, I found some rare material, but it's going to take me awhile to identified each concert by date.
One of them? He was THE man on the scene..even though he did not act like it, or pay much attention to that celebrity nonsense..
You've got it 100% right. And to me, Jimi is still The man "on the scene".
So True!! I really love it when kickass guitar players start doin some Jimi inspired playing in solo's. Especially the older stuff.
do what ya gotta do bro ........there's still a "gazillion" Hendrix fans out here, we'll be waitin'!
this recording alone proves he’s the best
Jimi once said, responding to a flattering comment..."Let's not make comparisons to others...that is when we get into trouble...I personally cannot decide who is greater, Segovia or BB King!...well, they are ALL "Kings"....Hendrix was so humble about his genius.
I had to say, THANK YOU very much for the look behind the door. I am a huge fan, TONS of recordings. Love to hear rare glimpse into his short lived life.. His calming serene voice and demeanor is a curtain to his incredible talent as a musician. There will always be a special place in my heart for Jimi.
RIP you will never be forgotten.
Thank you AztecPyramid
Most soulful inspiring guitarist ever…brings so many memories with my first love. You will never be forgotten ❣️❤️🫶🏼
can really hear the progress of so many of his later recorded stuff like hey baby and the woodstock improvisation
That Woodstock Improvisation, along with his most stirring rendition of the SSB, really did point to his futuristic abilities on guitar!...Strange, that the Improv, which was IMO the most "explorational" thing he did at the venue, is not often mentioned...yet it is so brilliant!
jimi and mitch were attached at the soul
No, they were usually dueling, feel pity for the poor bassist who had bring them together. It’s like being caught between a volcano and a hurricane and being tasked with making them cooperate with each other.
I is interesting, how Mitch does not hesitate to make on the fly suggestions to Jimi about timing, phrasing, etc. They did push each other to higher achievements, but with obvious respect....I have had a somewhat lower fidelity version of this amazing jam but could not heare their asides to each other...now, and with headphones, more nuances are revealed,,,,this jam is a precious account of the virtuoso quality that Hendrix had when exploring musical ideas...so many brief, but beautiful forays here!...I miss Jimi Hendrix so much!
Wherever there was Jimi there was Mitch!!
Brothers in ARMS 3 amigos just made Jimi sound even better Soul
Mates tweaking sounds 2 blend it again OUT OF IT TRIPPY ❤👍🏽
Yess.... Mitch was His Musical Soul Brother No Question About it ☺☺😎👊💯
How nice to hear live jam performance like this one!!!. Go, Jimi Hendrix, go !!!!.....
This is a great sample of the inner mechanism of jimis mind. This seems very on the spot spontaneous jamming, and is in bits and pieces. If t were to be composed there is definitely songs to be had in this recording. You can hear the genius and know it's jimi almost straight away
Hendrix is the greatest guitar player I've ever heard.
To put why he is into words isn't always easy, because his playing had supernatural qualities that can only be felt, and not fully described.
An example of this would be Voodoo Child (the intro is my favorite guitar riff of all time), where he just explodes on that track, and the best way for me to even explain it in words, is to compare it to an atomic bomb going off.
Jimi was fast, stylish, clever, emotional, revolutionary, influential and so many other amazing things as a guitar player, but his playing just had this mystical quality about it, a spiritual force of some kind, that is just hard to put into words.
" There's guitarists & then there's Jimi Hendrix " -BB King
wow!! I agree! You described it and him perfectly! :-)
@ Keiran Bradley
"There's guitarists & then there's Jimi Hendrix " -BB King"
wow, that's so cool
so human and yet so superhuman
Jack Bruce (paraphrasing)... "When I first saw Eric Clapton I said well there is a master of the guitar, but while Eric played guitar, Jimi came along and he was more like a force of nature or something."
So grateful for this.
From 11:00 on its spellbinding guitar and quite technical, romantic, gypsy, classical- having appreciated music from the Hendrix years of 1966-70 it pisses me of that the mob, the suits, the lawyers kept this bottled up, or even a hint of it. Warner Home Video could have put many elements of his music out but the money was all syphoned off as quickly as humanly possible. Hendrix was bought and sold. This audio recording is really amazing, thanks for uploading.
i love your description of his deep cut material. “technical, romantic, gypsy, classical- having appreciated” amazing choice of words.
it’s hauntingly beautiful, jimi’s ability to transcend what we knew and know now
..Yeah.... Like Jimi Said "Wrap Me Up in Cellophane and Sell Me and Don't Worry About Looking at The Score" It's So Sad... His Talent was So Far Beyond Anything We All Truly Know 😢😢💔💔💔💔
A rare insight to some of jimmys playing.very cool.
A beautiful soul taken too soon. I love you Jimi.
Always so creative. What a soul.
Oh my god. I’ve heard every Hendrix deep cut and this somehow escaped me! This is what I imagine hanging with the guys backstage would be like.
So, without the editorial....Hendrix is awesome, this is awesome. Enjoy the magic
From about 14:14 onwards shows Jimi's real creative genius on a guitar and his compositional abilities. Quite extraordinary!
Personally, I would have said that was the case from 00:00 onwards.
yes...sounds like the beginning structures of Villanova Junction
Its absolutely amazing! There's even some grunge in there.
Yeah, the folk edge does bring a feel of that type a rock
If only Jimi was given a Martin or something. I think the recording is bad wither because of the mic's or the guitar. Jimi was absolutely amazing.
Constantly experimenting and trying new things. Hendrix was and is the greatest innovator of the guitar. The Einstein of guitar.
most of us reading this right now ive been on this earth for 20-50 years and still have no idea where or who we are... making very little impact on the world. Jimi was only really in the limelight for about 4 years... and his legacy to this day is continueing to grow... just imagine what he would have done with 8 or 10 years. or if God wills it a life time...
You have a wonderful, evocative way of speaking Truth, when it comes to the ethereal aspect of Jimi's overall creative impact on music.
this is an incredible rarity ---the photos and the music-very, very coooool
WOW!!! BEST ACOUSTIC RECORDING EVER!!!!!!!
......and The Great Mitch Mitchell.
its amazing how life brought them 3 together.
Purple Haze, Orange Sunshine,only every direction to go. All at once and forever.
for me, an amateur guitar player, this tape is like a jewel. I remember learning little wing, only intro is like taking 5 classes of guitar school
the roots,
blue's is the happiness of expression! !
Hendrix unplugged- this stuff is great!
I could picture him doing an album of stuff like this with maybe an acoustic bass and a sax player on some of the songs.
I could picture hendrix with his own sprouted giant magnificent wings holding the reigns of a giant flying
turtle in lofty blue skies with just a small puffy cloud or 2 around telling us to wake up its time for school extraterrestrial school.

Thanks to Mitch and Jimi, for this jam!
Thank you for this...the sound quality is upgraded from the one I have, that is part of a three CD collection of rare stuff, called Black Gold, Vol l,2, and 3. came out a long time ago, maybe early 90s.
nice clean up..[lots to study here] there's so little if any acoustic stuff by Jim..[little miss strange , all along the watchtower springs to mind...this is gold ! thanx
This is incredible.
The greatest ever and ever will be!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks AztecPyramid happy thanksgiving this is awesome ,these guys were attached at the hip for sure
always interesting to hear anything Jimi did.
Thanks for sharing
💜🐂💨
I seen some more pics of JIMI , MITCH ,NOEL 😊😊 that I haven't seen be 4 thanks they are cool 😎 😊 and neat thank U 😊😊 OMG 2 26 2O24
Absolutely wonderful
@4:55 i've been looking for this jam for a while
I've a version where he sings, "sending my love to linda", good tune
I had received a copy of this about 3 years ago.Amazing all the different themes he persued.You can hear what an acoustic Jimi album would have sounded like.He would of course have developed these ideas into even more extensive explorations perhaps with different instrumentation,orchestration,vocals,etc.Perhaps we can use one of those DWave Quantum Computers and retrieve this expanded Hendrix material.If Iam not mistaken it's already been done with a Beatles album called Family Chemistry.I've been working on related possibilities for some time.Conscious Alliances Anyone?Yay Jimi.
+Cordmichael
As long as I am able to hear and experience as much of his material as I can, I'll be happy. There are some people that I'm friends with who don't look into live versions of songs that they like, and choose to just stick with studio recordings, but I continue to insist that they are losing out on some of the real magic from so many different artists.
Staying away from live recordings limits what you can experience musically, and Hendrix is one of those artists who you just have to hear live recordings of, because it shows just how amazing he was, from improv ability to utilizing feedback on stage, it's just something fans of music should hear for themselves.
+Cortex Zero Jimis' live material is where the real magic is, all that improvisation he did is just pure aural bliss, Peace
Great comment section...
Wow...I'm on the verge of listening to this entire track...wow...I did it!💥🤸💥🤸♀️💥🤸♂️💥
Found it.....and will never let go!
Never,i promise
Awesome! THANK YOU so much for this upload!
absolute classic recording 10 \10,
Anyone seriously interested in guitar, really should have a listen to this!
Wowww??? Very nice💃🕺 feeling like to dance.❤❤❤👏👏👏
Mitch Mitchell did not get enough credit for how great a drummer he was he was right up there with Ginger Baker
That is So True.... And Most in The Industry Will Tell You He was The Best Drummer on The Scene... So I Am in Total Agreement My Friend 😎👊💯💯
Jimi brought out the best aspects of Mitch's drumming skills...after Jimi died, that mojo they shared did not stay with Mitch for very long...and he also hit the old drugs/alcohol trail for several years.
He was a much better drummer than Baker technically and he was a much better ensemble player because he lacked Baker’s ego. He played as an integral part of the group and listened to what the others were doing instead of just keeping time until he had the opportunity for a long, self indulgent solo which he obviously enjoyed but which left the audience bored out their collective mind.
Oh Yeah !!!! I Swear I Keep Trying to Explain to People (Not Taking Anything from What Most of Us Know and Have Heard) But These Type of Settings Where Jimi's Just Being Free and Working on and Sharing Ideas is Where I Hear a Genius in His Mind and Guitar Playing That for Some Reason Gets Clouded or Lost in The Studio Recordings or Live That All of Us True Hendrix Fans Know... It's Just Absolutely Mind Blowing.... God... What He/We Were Robbed of and What Would Have Came From Jimi in His Future Musical Journey... For Example.. Chick Corea is On Record Stating His Idea for Return to Forever was a Musical Vehicle for Jimi I Mean What was That Going to Sound Like...Jezze 😢😢💔💔💔💔 Just for Example..... So... Thank You Evaaa SoSo Very Very Much for Uploading and Sharing This True Jem ☺☺😎👊💯💯💖
thanks for up loading-this is great.
The Best Guitar Playing I've Ever Heard...
Thanks so much for posting this
Thanks
I can here hear the beginnings of his Woodstock jam stuff here and even a little bit of of Rainbow Bridge.
Yeah...he was retrieving a few moments from his Woodstock appearance, but with a mind to make a more cohesive musical statement...Rainbow Bridge came about 6 months later.
Jimi and Mitch met at Jimi's hotel room, early Feb in 1970...Hendrix wanted to show Mitch some of his latest explorations on guitar. They had not hung out together for the past three months or so. But they were going to embark on a new tour-(the "Cry of Love" tour)...this a very important tape, as Jimi was seldom captured on acoustic guitar. And the quality here is great!...I have this jam on an old CD from over 20 years ago, but it is muddy...I am so grateful that someone has properly processed this tape, and really brought out the improved sound!...BTW...there exists a tape Jimi made personally, of him simply ruminating about his current mental state, his fears for the future, etc...a shrink would have a field day with that tape!..I hope someone can improve the sound on that one, as it is quite muddy.
Which tape are you talking about?
The Room Full of Mirrors recital?
@@ndfindndj5066 Yes...others have told me that is the "name" of that tape...It is so rare and a wonderful internal memo, from Jimi to himself! And in the background, some gal is obviously asleep, breathing softly. A crazy ambiance!
Incredible musician.
If anyone's wondering, it's tuned down to C#
He says at thw begginning B# i may be wrong
Hi Real Candian,
Are you the guy who left a comment on Amazon about my book on chord progressions? If so could you let me know how you are going.
I can tune my guitar to sound either C# or B# and it doesn't sound like either one to be honest
It's not in C#, It's close to C#. Think of it like this:Imagine a scale from 0 to 1(C to C#),this is in 0,80. I did a cover of the first one on my channel,but since my strings went out of tune,i did it on D, but on 0,80 scale as i said.Only cowboys stay in tune as he said.
Did you know there is a tape somewhere around with Jimi Hendrix,Rodger McGuinn and Eric Clapton jamming with acoustic guitars taped in 1970 in New York?
Michael Lantz I never heard about this tape but it sounds interesting
I know that there is an interview with him and Clapton but I have never heard of a jam tape
It was mentioned in the book Black Gold: The Lost Archives of Jimi Hendrix by Steven Roby 2002.It list bootlegs,tapes and other unreleased gems.
I Can Believe That.... Jimi was Known for Recording Everything He Could.
Jimi was from another world... He will be my god till i die.
vodoo57 alessio, I am obbssesed with Jimi and everything he was about m kid is gunna be named Hendrix hahaha but easy calling him god that's not what Jimi would want at all.
Only Jesus ( the one true living God ) can take you and I to a place where Jimi never could. To be with the Father in Glory.
@@benjean3963 Hendrix was kinda godlike, but in reality he was just a human like you and me...who worked/practiced his ass off to be the very best he could be on guitar...so inspiring to think about where he came from, and how far he went, before his personal demons did him in...He is to be admired forever!.
I love Hendrix but he is just a man and he is gone. Their is only one God and His name is Jesus Christ only He can save you.
@@chrismarple Christ has been gone for over 2000 years now!
If anything, Jimi somehow manages to sometimes sound even more unique to my ears on acoustic than he did on his strat.
Here Comes the Sun, indeed. This is the holy grail... as with a lot of Hendrix, clustered ideas to be unearthed, translated, and given space.
Currently working on a song for the new Fabric album Chasing Sun that arranges a couple parts this. So many harmonic ideas to work through. Plus, a lot of pure soul.
Anyone know exactly when this was recorded? Could it have been during the band's several days staying at Diamond Head in Hawaii in 1969? It seems that he put together a lot of ideas that I associate with his 1970 New Rising Sun and Maui period at the time. As well as the Stepping Stone riff, which I think came to "fruition" (not my favorite tune) with the Band of Gypsies, as they debuted it at the New Year's concerts at the Fillmore East.
#endwriter #ChasingSun
..I'd Guess Tapes From His Personal 4 Track Reel Archive from One of His New York City Apartments.
..Jimi Recorded Everything... Even Other Artists When He Could.... The Two Things He Never Wanted to Be Without Was a Strat and His Reel to Reel Tape Recorder (And I Could Say Judging By This Recording an Acoustic Guitar as Well)
His reel to reel recorder was stolen when he played Rochester, NY in, I believe, 1968. I have never heard whether it was reovered.
@@stevenkarnisky411 Unfortunately It's Life and Peril of Most All Musicians (Trust Me I've Had More Than My Share of That BS)
AT 6:50-6:59, that's Freedom!
The main thing that strikes me, is Jimi's extreme fluidity!...the spontaneous notes just flow like a cosmic waterfall...we know that he practiced compulsively, from the age of 15 onward...Billy Cox has said that Jimi got 20 years of practice, in just the few years that he and Billy were touring around in Nashville, etc. One of the Isley Brothers clan, commented that, when they housed him for awhile in their family home, he would spend most of the nights, sitting in a chair, repeating various Blues chops over and over, breaking them down, playing them backwards and forwards. He was great, because he really paid his dues on guitar!
Genius the likes of which comes once a century - if we're lucky.
And how lucky we are that the technology existed to record Hendrix and such other absolute giants as Django Reinhardt - not just tablature or notation, but recordings of vibrant living irrepressible genius.
It makes one wonder what it must have been like to actually hear Paganini play...
Immediately on replay,
Thanks AztecP...
Highest level &music..real jam
I sleep to this ...
That low C# tuned acoustic is just so tasteful.
ATTENTION ALL GUITAR PLAYERS: This is to be studied!!!
32 minute long stream of musical genius!
,,and not just Jimi's. Every musian that influenced him is represented.
Geoff Gage and so is every musician after him that was influenced by jimi
16:17 jimi invents "red hot chili peppers - by the way"
14:16 jimi invents "the eagles - one of these nights"
Devon Couch 4:55 jimi invent the "nirvana" sound

This is great
Love the little snort loo
Really , Hendrix was beyond category
When I saw him in concert, it seemed as if he had one foot in "our" world, but the other in a higher dimension, where Creativity itself resided. Well....in that remarkable poem that he wrote on the back of his guitar, he despondently mentioned that he was deeply frustrated , at not being able to make physical LOVE to the spirit of MUSIC itself! That is a remarkable thing to say!
We are not yet ready to understand the genius of this gentleman
I am glad to hear such a powerful observation of Jimi's overwhelming talent!...I am a Boomer now...and I was blessed to witness Jimi in concert, twice. Somehow, in a very deep, meaningful way, his playing has influenced my awareness of appreciating talent of such a high, rare type.
Track listing anyone? I am hearing amazing stuff. Try to do it!! There are so many!! Even 6:50 In From The Storm is there!!
Thank you for this amazing acoustic trip into my man Jimi.
By the way, Jimi is not dead, God wanted guitar lessons and apparently God does not have the talent to learn Jimi’s stuff. I wish he’d give him back now. ✌️
I do not believe I have ever heard or read anything from anyone claiming to have taught Jimi anything on guitar...except Little Richard who claimed "I taught him everything he knows" but we knows better. Chas said Jimi could do an imitation of Little Richard that was fall-on-the-floor hilarious. How I would have loved to see Jimi do that!
This stuff here is sofa king good and proves that anyone who said Jimi had peaked and was used up with no more music in him was just plain wrong.
Jimi did a few impressions!...he would sound like Bill Cosby - the Fat Albert character-, and he would sometimes imitate the gravelly voice of his dad!..
Excellent jimi blues improvisation
patrick khatchadourian
patrick khatchadour
They were truly Soul "brothers"
This si just fantastic
Jim's alive!!
Jimi
That conversation at the beginning is jokes 😂
Mostly Mitch, doing a poor impression of Elvis!
Ur profile pic reminds me of that isaac hayes album "for the sake of love"
28:58 this is cool
God sent Jimi to as for awhile 🎸😔🇺🇸
I hear love shining in all directions warming my soul touching me to the Core expanding from the universe within We love you Jimi and Mitch
When I first heard hear my train acoustic version I thought it was ok but not great. I didn't think he was a great acoustic player. I now stand corrected. Thanks for posting this.
Remember though...that filmed acoustic Hear my Train, was from late 1967...this audio tape is from over two years later....Jimi was still improving, right up until he died!
14:14, now that’s a masterpiece
COOL ! 😎
his guitar playing are combination of blues, rock, jazz, flamenco, psychedelic combined into one unique style of playing. i bet if he can learn sweep picking, legato and polished this technique, plus with fingerstyle playing, he definitely will kill most of today shredder. Hendrix is a true first rock guitar legend, no doubt.
Sally Cinnamon ...jimi just played jimi. and he could sweep pick..
Pite Gallows u
Todd Bryan I did'errnt do anything :'(
If u think Jimmi would be better playing legato and "polished his technique", you don't get Hendrix. Or the point of music, for that matter. It's not about shredding in the guitar shop more accurately than the next guy.
CNCTEMATIC yes. all in the expression and feel. even the simplest of players sound great if they play with feeling.
thanks
I can’t get that first little lick outta my mind; does anyone know if he ever used it for a song?
Jimi and Mitch were the cool cat daddios.rocked like nobody's business.. too bad that damn Noel Redding was brought into the mix at all. Jimi had to teach him everything all over again, and Noel flipped him ego and jealousy.. . cats were lined up to groove with Jimi, and learn form him and here Noel had the chance of the universe and was a little bitch about it! At least Mitch recognized that he won the rock and roll lottery!
Redding was in it only for Money ,Fame and His ego. Rip Noel
Michael Craig, you are mistaken? The Experience changed the game, and Redding was a big part of it. Listen to the first two records and watch some of the live stuff especially the music from the UK TV shows early on. He was an outstanding bass player and contributed like crazy. And Hendrix did not treat him with respect when Hendrix ditched Miles and got Mitchell back and Cox. Read about it. The reverb on this is driving me crazy, but I am fascinated about where it came from. And I just heard snippets of Captain Coconut.. AztecPyramid AzPy, where did you get this?
William Windham Noel started tons of shit with Jimi, like intentionally playing too loud and ruining numerous songs and live sets. Check out the Stockholm show. Noel fucked things up for himself. That's why Jimi did so much of the bass himself in the studio in later albums and dropped him when he got the chance.
you are a fucking prick, read Noel's book. you have no idea what he went through.
Noel was a dour envious miserable miserly git. He wanted to be a lead guitarist and he was envious of Jimi's fame and resented being reduced to a backing player. He seems to have genuinely believed that he had talent to rival that of Hendrix. Jimi even indulged him by including Redding's goddawful lame 60's pop song "She's So Fine" on the seminal masterpiece that is Electric Ladyland but the latter wasn't satisfied. He derided Jimi's lengthy and complex studio work on Electric Ladyland, insisting they should be making three minute pop songs for the charts.
And have you ever noticed that in all the post Experience interviews you hear Redding in, he _always_ refers to "Hendrix" rather than "Jimi"? Redding was a miserable twat. End of rant.
one hell of an acid trip
MrJoeystockdale explain
He loved the blues but also classical guitar
