Rolling stone magazine lists Jimi as the number one best guitar player and he was certainly a phenomenal one! A trailblazer for sure. Left handed on rt hand guitars, the wah pedal, he was amazing! Watched every second of this. Thanks Adogg!
It’s like picking your favorite child, they are all so talented and have such great positive things about themselves….if only we had musicians with 1/100th the talent today
When it comes to pedal effects Jimi went beyond just a wah pedal. Vox Wah Jimi's Woodstock wah pedal is a subject of heated debate: some argue it was an early Vox Clyde McCoy wah modified by Roger Mayer, while others say that it was a Vox V846 Sepulveda wah modified by Dave Weyer. The latter sold at auction in January 2017 for $33,000 but it's still unclear whether this was genuinely the wah pedal used by Hendrix at Woodstock. Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face Hendrix used a red Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face at Woodstock. His pedal technician, Roger Mayer, had begun modding Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Faces for him in 1967 and was infamously dismissive of the unreliable nature of the early germanium-based units. Although there is no consensus on what was inside the red Fuzz Face pedal Hendrix used at Woodstock and elsewhere, the chances are it was a modified silicon Fuzz Face circuit - although some sources indicate it could have been a modified Octavio circuit instead. What we do know is that Jimi ran his Fuzz Faces cranked, into his cranked Marshalls, using his guitar's volume controls to do all the heavy lifting when it came to volume and tonal nuance. Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe Woodstock was the first public outing for the Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe as part of Jimi's guitar rig, as he had only discovered it a couple of weeks before during rehearsals for the festival. The Uni-Vibe sounded immense and otherworldly when combined with Jim's wah and Fuzz-Face. It was subject to a light "tune-up" by Roger Mayer but was not heavily modified like his other pedals.
What you’re seeing here is Jimi at Woodstock. I was there and being awakened by his guitar was extraordinary. He was as beautiful on the inside as he was talented and beautiful on the outside. He said: “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” RIP Genius…and thank you.
You were so lucky to see him at Woodstock! I'm from Seattle, and saw his last concert in the continental US at a small outdoor stadium there in 1970. Of course it was raining being Seattle, and none of us knew what laid ahead for him, but I count it as one of my best rocknroll blessings to have been there.
@@hamidge1976 Yes, Jimi restrung it and modified the bridge to accommodate the strings in the correct order. He also tuned down a half step so instead of EADGBE he is playing Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.
This performance from Woodstock was one of his best, particularly if you listen to the entire stretch from Voodoo Child through the Star Spangled Banner (the beginning you heard at the end here), Purple Haze, a solo improvisation, finally ending with Villanova Junction. For me it is the greatest stretch of guitar playing I have ever heard. His song Machine Gun is transcendental.
On the morning Jimi Hendrix played the national anthem, on the stage at the Woodstock music festival, thousands of people had left the scene the day before, thinking the party was over... Jimi woke the remaining crowd with his rendition of the national anthem. At that time, he was the highest paid guitar player in America! Maybe the world!! He was on top of the heap. And remember... This was in the 60s. Long before Stevie Ray Vaughan, even though Steve idolized Jimi, as many other artists did, and still do today. Jimi Hendrix was doing things on the guitar no one had ever heard before. He was like a master samurai with his katana sword! And it was a time of 'free love, drugs, flowers and war.' Out of all the mayhem, and social chaos of the 60s, Jimi became a positive icon, that drew people together, 'for the love of music,' the art of noise.
This was at the Woodstock festival in 1969. It was a three day festival, and a quarter of a million people showed up. Jimi Hendrix was the headliner. Now you know how we felt 50 years ago when we first heard him.
In 1969 I was 15 years old and followed the events of Woodstock as closely as possible. Even our Dad (a WW2 Vet) thought Jimi was a superb guitar player.
This performance was at Woodstock and I believe it was one of his best live performances. He used the wah-wah rift you loved so much for the intro in the studio version of Voodoo Child. I loved the slower tunes too like Little Wing. Phenomenal!
Jimmy is and will always be number one guitarist for what he did and take notice he's playing the guitar upside down bc it's a right handed guitar that he's playing left handed witch switches everything truly amazing
@@devinthierault my personal number 2 is Eddie, maybe I’m not educated enough to know what jimmy brought into guitar playing, but Eddie literally created a whole new technique that has been used across genres
Jimi isn't actually playing the guitar upside down since it is restrung for a normal left handed guitar. There are quite a few players that do play upside down - Eric Gales is one to check out. Jimi was still great nonetheless.
Jimi Hendrix is the reason I picked up my guitar and play Blues again there's no one like Jimi Hendrix and I'm having a blast with it till this day rest in peace. Jimmy James Marshall Hendrix
Now you know where Prince got his inspiration from. Hendrix was the first guitarist to tap into the potential of the guitar with that upside-down Strat. He blew many a mind back in the day. Hell, he's still blowing minds. You've got to listen to what he was playing next: Star Spangled Banner which goes into Purple Haze. F-ing genious.
Might not be his best performances technically speaking but check out Jimi playing Wild Thing at the Monterey Pop Festival 1967 for one of his more entertaining performances.
That’s Woodstock! Everybody was a little high 😁. His rendition of The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock is iconic. He recreates the sounds of bombs and screaming with that guitar. You might not notice the guitar is upside down! Jimi is left handed and had to learn by restringing a regular guitar. No one will ever surpass Hendrix on the guitar!! ☮️🌼♥️. Every performance was his best. On the song “Hey Joe” he does more than play behind his back. Wait for it!! 😂😂☮️🌼♥️
Jimi Hendrix is the man. He virtually reinvented the electric guitar and how it could be played. Nobody who has come after him can match him. The most important instrumentalist in rock history.The greatest.
Beautiful reaction! I've been listening to Jimi for 53 years (1967). I cried the day he died and hung a black framed photo of him in memorial. I second that you should see his performance in the 1967 Monterey Music Festival. Many think his cover of "Wild Thing" where he burns his guitar is greatest, yet I think "The Wind Cries Mary" is f'ing brilliant! You NEED to have his released albums "Are You Experienced", "Axis Bold As Love" and "Electric Lady Land" in your collection.
Check out JIMI HENDRIX - HEY JOE LIVE AT MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL. And FOXY LADY - LIVE AT MIAMI POP FESTIVAL. Also, his studio version of VOODOO CHILD is definitely worth listening to.
Holy Moly darling.. Now I concider myself Extremely Lucky that my Father worshiped this Man. This performance at Woodstock was my Dad's 3rd Jimi concert in a year. He stood on that stage after meeting Jimi and watched from 10 feet away. Thanx Dad for being such a fan..
Thanks Adogg ,for playing this! Jimi's excellence definitely shines here. I would highly recommend sitting down with the 1970 record Band Of Gypsies. Its a live recording from the Filmore East. it is tour de force Hendrix. Even if you don't feature it on here. Since you like Jimi, treat yourself to sitting down and hearing that record from beginning to end. it was one of the first records I bought when I was a kid, and it blew my mind! I still from time to time and it holds up as a master work. THANKS for all of your great selections. Your energy is really great!
My favorite piece by Jimi is the version of Villanova Junction Blues that he played in this very same set. After Voodoo Child he played The Star Spangled Banner, then an improvisation, then Villanova. All of them worth listening to.
You want to hear the best guitarist: Machine Gun from the Band of Gypsys. Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, Billy Cox. Absolutely the most incredible live guitar work of the history of Rock. And we're talking over FIFTY YEARS AGO ! And after all this time, still considered the greatest of them all. And he is !!
I saw him live. He could do that, and more, for two hours. You couldn't believe it even while you were watching him do it. Hey Joe, live at Monterey Pop. If you want to know what guitar was like five years earlier, see Walk Don't Run, by the Ventures. That was the best in 1963. Compare it to Jimi, five years later.
I was so fortunate that when I was 14 years old (in 1968) my very first ever concert was to see Jimi Hendrix and it was life changing. Stevie Ray Vaughn was the first to recognise Jimi as a big influence in his playing. And the thing is that with Jimi - playing over 50 years ago, the technology wasn't what it is today, so while you get really good recordings of Stevie Ray Vaughn, some of Jimi's best work was not properly recorded (live). But even Jimi acknowledged those that came before him - the great blues players... and he paid his dues, playing backup to a lot of great R&B, Motown and soul groups and it really wasn't until he moved to London that he got big and was really appreciated.
They've played the wah wah pedal for ppl undergoing an mri and it activates the speech areas of your brain lol. Jimi was the wah master and could REALLY make it talk to you. Jimi inspired stevie and countless others. The thing he mastered was *expression*
Hi from Austin, Texas, Adogg! I grew up in the 1960s. Let's just say that my mind was officially blown when I first listened to Jimi back in 1967. There is not an electric guitarist alive today who hasn't been influenced by Jimi. He combined blues, funk, jazz, soul, and some cosmic shit that nobody knows what it is or where it came from to produce impossibly-good music. Yeah, he was high and trippin' most times, but Lord have mercy could he make that guitar sing! Look, you can't live in Austin without lovin' you some Stevie Ray. I was watching Stevie Ray playin' the blues at Antone's (the original Antone's, not that fancy Antone's downtown) back in the early 80s before he was world famous. Stevie's music was spectacular. Ask B.B. King. Ask Albert King. Ask Buddy Guy. Ask ANYBODY! But Stevie's music was understandable in human terms. Jimi's music was from another dimension. Nobody knows where it came from and where it went--but when Jimi took off, you just shook your head and tried to wrap your head around whatever place Jimi was taking you.
This was my dad’s favorite artist/song. We rolled him out the church at his funeral to this song and I couldn’t have imagined a better way to leave the church. Surprised my granny let us do that bc she’s such a traditionalist.
Did you see him use his teeth to play? It was brief at the end, but he did it. He could also play with his guitar behind his shoulders upside-down. Truly one of the most gifted guitar players in the world! Glad you got to be a witness to his talent.
ADogg can you imagine how he would be if he had not died so young? I think you missed him playing with his teeth when the camera was shooting him from the back
You're right, some of us have watched and listened the day he fell out of 'The Mothership'. I started in 1967, now imagine knowing what you just found out, for over 40+ yrs. You have been 'Born Again', my brother!👽
When Jimi made his way to England he landed square front and center in front of Clapton, Beck and Page. The rock icons of the 60's. They all new instantly who the big dog was. Jimi Hendrix is Master Class.
Remember that this was in 1969! No one, nobody had ever played the guitar like this. Back then, when he first returned home from his stay in England, the American kids just sat in their seats and stared. They had never heard anything like this in their life. Jimi’s album “Electric Ladyland” was to me some of his finest work. I also liked his album “Cry Of Love”.
My brother in law grew up near Traverse City, Mi. He wanted to go see Jimi play in Detroit one night. It’s about a 4 hour drive, but he wasn’t old enough to drive. So he and a buddy snuck out and jumped a freight train to Detroit. Coming home, the got in a box car on the wrong train. It stopped in Grand Rapids, which is 2 1/2 hours south of Traverse City. He had to call his dad at 2 am and ask if he could pick them up in Grand Rapids 😂 He said he had a great time at the concert though.
Jimi Hendrix is one of the pioneers in seeing what limitations all the guitar effects pedals would give him. He is truly one of the greatest. There is no telling what artwork he would have came up with if given more time. Rest in peace Jimi.
Jimmi was a rock god! A god amongst men! His talent had talent, a true legend, the greatest guitarist ever seen and heard-And a Seattle boy who presaged the talent that was to come out of that city!
Bro..when it was my time every body wants play guitar like jimmy.Hes the best guitar player I've ever seen,and people knows that.I love ur reaction cuz ur feelin it.
I wish u can hear the album version as well with his amazing crazy intro that slams beyond comprehension.👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. This performance is soooo sick... haha!! Dang!!!
While most rock musicians know their songs note for note... Jimi used his songs merely as a suggestion as jazz musicians do. But each concert he gave a totally fresh, surprising shape to his songs mostly during the solo parts. This is what intrigued me a LOT as a 12yr old kid. He made me wanna play music. And still do to this day. Thank you Mr. Hendrix. Wish i lived in your times.
This is from Woodstock. jimi was the final act on the last night of the concert. The bands played so long that it was the next day by the time Jimi took the stage and lots of people left already. Those staying behind saw Jimi's greatest performance IMO. His performance of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock is legendary.
He was the highest paid artist at woodstock! He said he would not play unless he was the last person performing at woodstock! Jimi was the BOSS! What he wanted, he got!
bruh, if you did not know now you know ... often emulated but never duplicated ... the GOAT hands down! a sheer force of nature as so often attributed! listen to the studio and then also the live version from Maui. Hawaii .... almost completely different!
Man you gotta check out his version of Voodoo Child live at Maui"effin amazing" performance even though the wind is causing some problems (made conspicuous by the heavy foam covers over the vocal microphones) with the live sound - still an amazing version.
Be sure to check out the album version on Electric Ladyland. The entire album is phenomenal - this is Voodoo Child Slight Return, which is the continuation of an earlier song on the album called Voodoo Child. For more Jimi Hendrix, check out Castles in the Sand, Red House, Machine Gun, and Bold as Love.
You need to listen to Joni Hendrix Cross Town Traffic. I know his playing blew your mind and to make the explosion bigger, he’s a left handed person who was not ever told about restringing his guitar or anything so he’s playing it upside down!!
Absolutely my friend.I love Cross Town Traffic.Jimi’s rhythm playing on that cut is ridiculously good.Jimi is one of my favorite rhythm players as well as lead.Mitch and Noel did their thing as well 🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾 Peace & Blessings
Jimi was the greatest! That performance was from Woodstock. He performed at six in the morning when there was only 250,000 people left. Check out the Atlanta pop Festival 1970.
While stationed in Germany there was a protester outside our barracks - one of my friends played Jimmy's Star Spangled Banner out the window. LOL Even the protesters clapped
This performance is the last act at Woodstock. You should watch from Woodstock, Santana, The Who, Country Joe and the Fish, Ten Years After, Sly and the Family Stone...
Left handed!!!!!!!!!! Check out his guitar. ALIEN. 😊 Jimi just landed on Mother Earth for a bit, left his imprint on us and journeyed on years later. Fly high Jimi, we're still listening and teaching the young all about you!! ❤👍🏽
The pivotal moment for Hendrix was when Chas Chandler heard him play in a cafe in Greenwich Village, in the USA and he brought him to UK and made him a star! Then he went back to USA and the rest is history. The Experience were English musicians. Jimi certainly wiped the floor with other guitar players :)
When Jimi was starting out, he was hired to play with the Isley Brothers. He was with them for two years. He lived in their house, and practiced in a back room. Little Ernie Isley, 11 years old, would spend those 2 years, watching and absorbing Jimi’s style. You can see Jimmy’s influence in Ernie’s tribute. ruclips.net/video/TKsBEg9pp1o/видео.html

@H AH it would be awesome!
Only 2 guitarists that were true innovators and game changers in all of history. #1- Jimi Hendrix , #2- Eddie Van Halen. That’s it to date
When it comes to pedal effects Jimi went beyond just a wah pedal.
Vox Wah
Jimi's Woodstock wah pedal is a subject of heated debate: some argue it was an early Vox Clyde McCoy wah modified by Roger Mayer, while others say that it was a Vox V846 Sepulveda wah modified by Dave Weyer. The latter sold at auction in January 2017 for $33,000 but it's still unclear whether this was genuinely the wah pedal used by Hendrix at Woodstock.
Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face
Hendrix used a red Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face at Woodstock. His pedal technician, Roger Mayer, had begun modding Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Faces for him in 1967 and was infamously dismissive of the unreliable nature of the early germanium-based units. Although there is no consensus on what was inside the red Fuzz Face pedal Hendrix used at Woodstock and elsewhere, the chances are it was a modified silicon Fuzz Face circuit - although some sources indicate it could have been a modified Octavio circuit instead. What we do know is that Jimi ran his Fuzz Faces cranked, into his cranked Marshalls, using his guitar's volume controls to do all the heavy lifting when it came to volume and tonal nuance.
Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe
Woodstock was the first public outing for the Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe as part of Jimi's guitar rig, as he had only discovered it a couple of weeks before during rehearsals for the festival. The Uni-Vibe sounded immense and otherworldly when combined with Jim's wah and Fuzz-Face. It was subject to a light "tune-up" by Roger Mayer but was not heavily modified like his other pedals.

You are a lucky human being. Jimi was from the other world. GOD BLESS HIM.
Oh by the way I'm 65 so I kinda know where your coming from if you don't mind me saying. Those were special times.
You were so lucky to see him at Woodstock! I'm from Seattle, and saw his last concert in the continental US at a small outdoor stadium there in 1970. Of course it was raining being Seattle, and none of us knew what laid ahead for him, but I count it as one of my best rocknroll blessings to have been there.
DUDE THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He truly was a beautiful man all the way around.
There wouldn’t be half as many guitarist in the world today if they had never heard Jimi Hendrix ☮️💜
Somewhere Buddy Holly is smiling with his huge Lubbock grin.
Jimi
@@FNMCaffeine thanks, that was a voice text mistake ✌🏼
that's true and is why I started playing. Zeppelin and Hendrix blew me away and I just had to learn
We wouldn't have had a Jimi if it wasnt for LSD either
JIMI is playing with a RIGHT HANDED GUITAR UPSIDE DOWN! The man had such a stage presence!
Yes, but it was restrung the normal way.
@@bthomas518 no
@@hamidge1976 Yes, Jimi restrung it and modified the bridge to accommodate the strings in the correct order. He also tuned down a half step so instead of EADGBE he is playing Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.

Jimmy was such a badass he did it all first he gave us the gift of different music rest in peace Jimmy you deserve it
Jimi :)
There is a "Hey Joe" that is done live. You really need to see his technique on that performance. Behind the back and even more...
You NEED to hear Hey Joe or Jimi playing the Star Spanled Banneron guitar at Woodstock that he does some of at the end of here
My fav Hendrix is "The Wind Cries Mary."
Guitar is like like lava!
One of a long line of artists who overdosed. Hendrix, Jackson, Elvis, Belushi.... Yea, drugs should be legal. (That was sarcasm)
Please don't forget we'd never heard anything like this before! He changed music forever, like the Beatles did.
and he opened his show with Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band in front of the Beatles 2 days after it came

Every performance was Jimi's best performance. He didn't play the guitar he translated to us what the guitar had to say.
The guitar translated the collective consciousness of the universe lol Jimi was on another plane of existence
Only bad performances were ones with the equipment acting up
Thanks Adogg ,for playing this! Jimi's excellence definitely shines here. I would highly recommend sitting down with the 1970 record Band Of Gypsies.

EXACTLY!! Right you are,sir.
Meanwhile in Texas an 8 year old Stevie Ray Vaughn was learning to play this in his bedroom on his brother's guitar.
Hi from Austin, Texas, Adogg!
I grew up in the 1960s. Let's just say that my mind was officially blown when I first listened to Jimi back in 1967. There is not an electric guitarist alive today who hasn't been influenced by Jimi. He combined blues, funk, jazz, soul, and some cosmic shit that nobody knows what it is or where it came from to produce impossibly-good music. Yeah, he was high and trippin' most times, but Lord have mercy could he make that guitar sing! Look, you can't live in Austin without lovin' you some Stevie Ray.

Nobody knows where it came from and where it went--but when Jimi took off, you just shook your head and tried to wrap your head around whatever place Jimi was taking you.
It a real shame he was taken from us at such a young age the man was a legend
He was amazing!
Bro, I know this is great but...put your headphones on and listen to the studio version and prepare to have your mind blown.
TRUTH!
This was my dad’s favorite artist/song. We rolled him out the church at his funeral to this song and I couldn’t have imagined a better way to leave the church. Surprised my granny let us do that bc she’s such a traditionalist.

Everyone needs to experience a Jimi Hendrix fix once you do you’ll never be the same absolutely a LEGEND
The best guitar player of all time, in my humble opinion. He not only played guitar, he made it talk. Truly amazing xx
Nobody could touch Jimi's style he was and still is idolized by many. He played guitar behind his back and with his teeth also he's amazing

Jimi is what every guitarist aspires to be
He is and was the best. Every time Jimi picked up a guitar it was his best performance.
My brother in law grew up near Traverse City, Mi. He wanted to go see Jimi play in Detroit one night. It’s about a 4 hour drive, but he wasn’t old enough to drive. So he and a buddy snuck out and jumped a freight train to Detroit. Coming home, the got in a box car on the wrong train. It stopped in Grand Rapids, which is 2 1/2 hours south of Traverse City. He had to call his dad at 2 am and ask if he could pick them up in Grand Rapids 😂
He said he had a great time at the concert though.
The place is Woodstock, NY. Back in "70" Everybody was there! 3 Days of Peace and Love
Jimi Hendrix not only played the guitar like no other; he used the amplifier as a finely tuned instrument.
Jimmy Hendrix was a U.S. Army Paratrooper.
Screaming Eagles 101st Airborne
That was so sweet what you said how you wanted to feel like we were with you the whole time.
Jimi Hendrix is one of the pioneers in seeing what limitations all the guitar effects pedals would give him. He is truly one of the greatest. There is no telling what artwork he would have came up with if given more time. Rest in peace Jimi.
Jimmi was a rock god! A god amongst men! His talent had talent, a true legend, the greatest guitarist ever seen and heard-And a Seattle boy who presaged the talent that was to come out of that city!
Bro..when it was my time every body wants play guitar like jimmy.Hes the best guitar player I've ever seen,and people knows that.I love ur reaction cuz ur feelin it.
I wish u can hear the album version as well with his amazing crazy intro that slams beyond comprehension.👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. This performance is soooo sick... haha!! Dang!!!
While most rock musicians know their songs note for note... Jimi used his songs merely as a suggestion as jazz musicians do. But each concert he gave a totally fresh, surprising shape to his songs mostly during the solo parts. This is what intrigued me a LOT as a 12yr old kid. He made me wanna play music. And still do to this day. Thank you Mr. Hendrix. Wish i lived in your times.
“All along the watchtower” - his best work!
This is from Woodstock. jimi was the final act on the last night of the concert. The bands played so long that it was the next day by the time Jimi took the stage and lots of people left already. Those staying behind saw Jimi's greatest performance IMO.
His performance of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock is legendary.
he was known for playing behind his neck and playing with his teeth and sometimes setting his guitar afire.💚
He was the highest paid artist at woodstock! He said he would not play unless he was the last person performing at woodstock! Jimi was the BOSS! What he wanted, he got!
What a great capture on video! He’s feeling it big time.
Love SRV! Jimi is Jimi ! SRV in whole had his own Texas boogie style over all. Jimi was from a totally different planet!
Glad you found the GOAT of guitarists.
This is footage from the legendary Woodstock concert 1969 it was a classic performance one of the greatest of all time rock performances
Love seein' your reaction, Adogg. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Some of the clips from his Monterey Pops performance are definitely worth a look.
bruh, if you did not know now you know ... often emulated but never duplicated ... the GOAT hands down! a sheer force of nature as so often attributed! listen to the studio and then also the live version from Maui. Hawaii .... almost completely different!
Man you gotta check out his version of Voodoo Child live at Maui"effin amazing" performance even though the wind is causing some problems (made conspicuous by the heavy foam covers over the vocal microphones) with the live sound - still an amazing version.
Be sure to check out the album version on Electric Ladyland. The entire album is phenomenal - this is Voodoo Child Slight Return, which is the continuation of an earlier song on the album called Voodoo Child. For more Jimi Hendrix, check out Castles in the Sand, Red House, Machine Gun, and Bold as Love.
Jimi was srvs largest influence., But Jimi Hendrix changed music more than anyone else in history! RIPJames Marshal Hendrix May God Bless Your Soul
You need to listen to Joni Hendrix Cross Town Traffic. I know his playing blew your mind and to make the explosion bigger, he’s a left handed person who was not ever told about restringing his guitar or anything so he’s playing it upside down!!
Absolutely my friend.I love Cross Town Traffic.Jimi’s rhythm playing on that cut is ridiculously good.Jimi is one of my favorite rhythm players as well as lead.Mitch and Noel did their thing as well 🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾 Peace & Blessings
Jimi high as hell and rocking out!
Jimi wasn't a master of the guitar he was a guitar God. He played with his mouth and even behind his back.
Jimi was the greatest! That performance was from Woodstock. He performed at six in the morning when there was only 250,000 people left. Check out the Atlanta pop Festival 1970.
While stationed in Germany there was a protester outside our barracks - one of my friends played Jimmy's Star Spangled Banner out the window. LOL Even the protesters clapped
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock with his white Fender Stratocaster guitar just showing everyone else how it is done.
Adog you should listen voodoo child the long version with the drum solo . he is the gran master of the guitar.
The GOAT
A right handed guitar upside down! Jimi ❤️
I was lucky to see Jimi once. Yes he was THAT GOOD.
When the guitar truly becomes an extension of the man playing it.
This performance is the last act at Woodstock. You should watch from Woodstock, Santana, The Who, Country Joe and the Fish, Ten Years After, Sly and the Family Stone...
Are you Experienced the studio version is mind bending. Best physodelic solo ever.
This was his greatest performance in my opinion. It doesn't get better than this Woodstock rendition of Voodoo Chile!
Left handed!!!!!!!!!! Check out his guitar.
ALIEN. 😊
Jimi just landed on Mother Earth for a bit, left his imprint on us and journeyed on years later.
Fly high Jimi, we're still listening and teaching the young all about you!! ❤👍🏽
Jimi was an idol of SRV.
When Jimi came to London he changed the Sound of Music forever..
The pivotal moment for Hendrix was when Chas Chandler heard him play in a cafe in Greenwich Village, in the USA and he brought him to UK and made him a star! Then he went back to USA and the rest is history. The Experience were English musicians. Jimi certainly wiped the floor with other guitar players :)
All that totally insane shit he does and he is never out of key or misses a note! A guitar genius!
I would be proud have you as my brother
Oh no! He was just starting his legendary take on the 'Star Spangled Banner'. You NEED to see that.
After watching your reaction to Jimi I know that you have joined the ranks of the Experienced. Nice to see. Fly on.✌
Check out Jimi's live version of "Hey Joe" and watch him play the guitar with his teeth and then behind his back.
Jimi was definitely a master at what he did. On top of his ridiculously high skill level he was a very humble man.
Jimmie played that without any distortion pedals he was on acid in another dimension making that mofo scream truly a legend
When Jimi was starting out, he was hired to play with the Isley Brothers. He was with them for two years. He lived in their house, and practiced in a back room. Little Ernie Isley, 11 years old, would spend those 2 years, watching and absorbing Jimi’s style. You can see Jimmy’s influence in Ernie’s tribute. ruclips.net/video/TKsBEg9pp1o/видео.html
