I saw Jimi twice. At the Miami Beach Convention Hall and The Miami Pop Festival. He was always one of my favourites. I'm a drummer since 1965. Excellent work. Thanks
It feels like it belongs with the third side of Electric Ladyland. I call it the "Rainy Day Suite". Love Or Confusion is one of my all-time underated Hendrix favs. It should be a prerequisite for humans over the age of 16 to be familiar with it!
@@patriotpizzaman If i'm correct, Jimi wrote "Rainy Day" at the Miami Pop Festival, when it rained. 3 Glorious Days of Music. I was there for all three days.
Steve Vai himself said it when they were doing that tribute tour a few years back, something like I can play Jimi's notes but I still can't sound like Jimi. Jimi's expressiveness on the instrument is... it's difficult to put in words... it's magical.
Might sound wierd but it's 100% legit. You can copy the notes but without Hendrick's lifetime of ingrained muscle memory, Hendrick's hands or Hendrick's heart it won't sound exactly like Hendricks. It'll sound like you playing Hendricks. There's a lot of bends and other techniques that are just very unique to eacb individual player. At the highest levels it's often character and inflections that identifies an artist more than level of technique.
It is one of those things that even AI can't nail. The subtleties, the imperfections, the human touch. His guitar had a voice, Jimi was like the messenger who let the instrument speak. You kinda get to ask if the guitar played Jimi or the other way around
Maybe the title was meant the be a slight at the Hendrix estate. At least that's how I heard Tyler's "I can't play Hendrix, but I can play Hendrix" comments.
Hendrix state are killing his legacy. Is so sad that money and greed does to art. I'll be waiting to the moment the ownership expires ill do a full cover of every hendrix song as a thank you note to jimmy
Just imagine, Jimi came back to life, and walked into a studio, and was shown this, and was handed a guitar. After the whole futurist shock and awe of how amazing this would be to him, imagine what he would come up. Sometimes we lose perspective of how much cool stuff we have. He had a couple of amps, and couple pedals, and had to crank the shit out of it to get his sound. it's just amazing to step back and look at it like this. It sounds so good.
"played the guitar like a piano" THANK YOU!!!!!! I've been trying to figure out how to put it into words for years. I'm a piano and guitar player and you fuckin nailed it bro.
Jimi's sense of what the next note should be was his greatest musical gift. His musical imagination generated his sound. That he also understood and found such excellent amp and pedal sounds was additional Kismet, but he would have been amazing regardless.
Now I know why Jimi is my favorite since I can remember. I always said his sound was different in ways other than distortion etc. You explain about he didn't follow natural chord progressions. I don't speak music theory, so I'm grateful you unlocked in me what I've been trying to express for over 35 years when I was a young teen😁
This was great! Maybe in the future you could do full break downs of other guitarists style and sound based on techniques and gear with links to tabs and references to these patterns in songs. It would be epic!
No, it’s Pali Gap’s beautiful rhythm part that I can never play exactly right. If you know that song before you look it up, you’re definitely a Hendrix fan.
I'm a hardcore Hendrix nut. Pali Gap might be in my top 5 songs of all time. It's filled with such emotion that it has brought me to tears, so many times
Love this, you've done something I can't, I can play so close to Jimmi H but can't make my own unique sound it keeps sounding like I'm copying JH or SRV while yours is like a new melt my face . Man I hope you can do a full cover of your favorite songs instead of just these short riffs. Love your work. Keep shedding
And his name is either James Marshall Hendrix or Jimi... not Jimmy. If ya can't spell his name ya likely can't play his licks...neither can I...but then devil is in the details of ✌
When you pulled out the ES-335 I was hoping you were going to play red house, room full of mirrors, izabella, or some other Hendrix tune that incorporates humbuckers. But I understand why you had to show off that feature of the plug-in because it is pretty unique. Great video!
Woodstock should’ve been nuked. It wasn’t and now all those hippies are in congress demonizing police, spreading Anti-White hatred, sexualizing children, gender propaganda, sympathizing for illegal aliens and convincing Americans to be soft feminized drones. Damn I wish that concert was bombed.
Guitar Match is dark magic. I've got plenty of guitars, but when I'm bashing out demos it's nice to be able expand on just what my main guitar's pickup and volume options can do without digging out other guitars.
I do love his later live sound though, Marshall cranked, fuzz cranked, booster too. He had so much gain, he was well into 1980 heavy metal territory, not quite Randy Rhoads "amps about to detonate" distortion but way more than any pre 1980 Metal album by anyone, Priest, Maiden. Wxcwpt Sabbath maybe, but even then on the most of the early albums for high gain, Tony actually doesn't use that much, Geezer also had a lot of overdrive thaz contributes to the overall sound but some of Hendrix later live tones where just fantastic. I don't known if he had any of his amps modified but you'd at least need a Plexi on full, a fuzz on max and a booster to get gain like that and it didn't get fizzy either, he still had a beautiful clear glassy tone, not some undefined fizzing like some 1960s high gain guitar tones. He had the output on max but the distortion probably pretty low on the fuzz and the man knew how to set an EQ to deal with that much gain long before everyone else. Sure people used fuzzes and screamers but most didn't have that nice a tone, unless you like that but often rich in high end fizz, which I just don't like at all. And really boxy too, Hendrix had that compression going that made everything sound super roubd and smooth.
Love the wisdom speaks hashtag one of my favorite quotes. Also great job on the glockenspiel for authenticity lol. Love your Jimi vids! How was he so good?!?!
I’m pretty sure the joke is that he cannot legally play those songs for these videos. That’s why everything he did was remarkably close. I’m sure he can play all the songs with ease
The hardest Hendrix bridges to me are in Little Miss Lover and One Rainy Wish, check those out again... BTW, I saw Jimi at the Seattle Coliseum in 1968 while I was stationed at Fort Lewis, WA. WOW, what a show!!!
as everyone we very far from his sound and feeling..thats why no-one can replicate....bit it inspires all guitar players and will forever...next saturday is bday by the way..happy bday jimi always rock love roll
Eddie hazel even has a jimi hendrix tribute version of maggot brain I BEG YOU PLEASE. It was the last song I showed and listened too with my dad before I had to give him cpr for 10 minutes and at 24 its fucked me up brother. Music and my guitar are the only things I have and give me a reason other than my dad. I never got to ask him if hes ever heard of parliament funkadelics or if he knew who Eddie hazel is or if he's ever heard it before. We only listened to a artist named dovydas play maggot brain for abiut 20 seconds. After he passed I learned the whole maybe true story of Eddie being told to play the song like his mother had died and it just blows my mind every single time I hear it. You're the best and help give me motivation and help me understand the guitar I'm every aspect. Rock on rocksteady 🤘
I always enjoy your playing. Love the video! Good emulating machine the clean sounds get pretty close but it don't sound like Hendrix. As always like Eric Johnson says it's the sumtotal of all the ingredients. Jimmy had giant hands Jimi played upside down. Jimmy used a weird set of string gauges. The fender strings that he used aren't even made anymore. Then there's signal chain. Jimmy had a box full of wah pedals. Jimmy used cocked wah position as well as his foot of course. Jimmy used Fender Marshall and sunn amplifiers. Those amplifiers were all hand-wired and you can't find mustard caps or any of the others anymore unless you want to Shell out some dough. Jimmy had a tendency to play slightly out-of-tune he didn't care you he would just keep going. I could keep going but it would just get boring. Thanks for the video I love your side trip videos!
5:06 is it only me who recognized the John Frusciante tone too?? Well I know Hendrix is Frusciante's influence but cmon😂 the first thing comes to my mind was JF's one😂😂
I love how the kids I jam with nowadays grok upon Dylan, Hendrix , etc. They're like "rock these days is so fake ". By doing this, my son, you are keeping the midnight oil burning. Oh wait that was a song... IMO what Jimi did was all about INTENTION.
Cream's I Feel Free opens with the so called "Jimi chord" - that was May 1966, I still think that's the first rock use of the chord in such a pronounced way. Are You Experienced released in 1967.
P.S. I was thinking that I had just gotten too old or burned out. I was 16 yrs old. There really were 2 Miami Pop Festivals! And, i did attend both of them. Memory being what it is... Some of the acts from the first one: "An estimated 25,000 people attended this event. Bands featured at the festival included The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Mothers of Invention, Blue Cheer, Chuck Berry, John Lee Hooker, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Blues Image." Blues Image was a local Miami band. Mike Pinera was lead guitar (Ride Captain Ride) and he later played with Iron Butterfly. Carl Plamer (Drummer for ELP) was the drummer for Arthur Brown. I remember Arthur climbing one of the scaffolds during one of his songs. Frank and The Mothers were great and so was Blue Cheer. So, in my cloudy memory, that sometimes gives me a glimpse of my past, I saw Jimi Hendrix 3 times, not 2. The second (3 day) Miami Pop Festival happened later that year in December, which I also attended. It's sometimes tough getting old, but i still play my 1973 set of Ludwig Drums.
I think every serious guitar player had a jimi hendrix phase, where his music suck you in, and you study his music and try to figure out how he did it, you got almost the same equipment, the same string size, amp settups etc, but you realize you can even get close to his expression or to his tone.And then you realize, jimi was something different, like he was born, literally born to play music in a short time and then to die, so that his presence and music still remains a mysterious. Randy Hansen studied jimi for almost 50 years, and he is an unbelievable good guitarist and still can't sound like hendrix. I would loved to see him live...
I think its pretty difficult to get an amp model to sound like hendrix with his fuzz effects and studio gear - so impressed that you and Bias are even attempting it. Every once in a while I see someone, like Randy Hansen, who can do a lot of justice to Jimi, and I wonder how much it would take wind out of his sails to use only virtual guitar amp and pedal fx vsts. BTW, doesn't a real fuzz pedal interact with a guitar's electronics in a way that makes it especially nice sounding? Some of those Bias tones sound pretty good, and I certainly wouldn't complain about rehearsing with them. But there's something gentle and smooth about a Hendrix tone, never shrill or harsh - possibly the tape plus the vinyl - or the pedal-guitar interactions and tube stuff in his amps (and as someone mentioned below, the long curly cables do roll off some harshness).
People always reference his early songs as being great such as Purple Haze and Castles Made of Sand but I find his best and most impactful music is often the lesser-known tracks, particularly those from just before he passed away, such as Bolero, Slow Blues, Freedom, Straight Ahead and November Morning. His first album is nice. The guitar playing is pretty good. But if you want to hear him play, i mean reeaally play, listen to the studio jams and outtakes rather than the studio albums.
"... particularly those from just before he passed away," I'll see your contrarianism and raise you an absurdist. I prefer his playing after he passed away. So much depth yet so minimalist so bare bones if you will.
Sounded pretty good to me. Really crank the plate reverb they all did that in the sixties its the secrete to sound like them. well maybe not crank it all the way but add some to were you can really hear it because its magical and heavenly. I really like the omni plate reverb.
I saw Jimi twice. At the Miami Beach Convention Hall and The Miami Pop Festival. He was always one of my favourites. I'm a drummer since 1965. Excellent work. Thanks
Respect to you sir, thank you for keeping guitarist and bassist in line and laying down the grooviest grooves possible! haha
It feels like it belongs with the third side of Electric Ladyland. I call it the "Rainy Day Suite". Love Or Confusion is one of my all-time underated Hendrix favs. It should be a prerequisite for humans over the age of 16 to be familiar with it!
@@patriotpizzaman If i'm correct, Jimi wrote "Rainy Day" at the Miami Pop Festival, when it rained. 3 Glorious Days of Music. I was there for all three days.
Oh the envy I have for you
Man ur lucky
Marshall is literally Jimi’s middle name
Facts
Damn. He played a Marshall, and his middle name was Marshall. What a coincidence.
I'm surprised I've never made that connection lol
Literally !!
Yep and James his first name...
The Hendrix face pop-ups were perfect.
Steve Vai himself said it when they were doing that tribute tour a few years back, something like I can play Jimi's notes but I still can't sound like Jimi.
Jimi's expressiveness on the instrument is... it's difficult to put in words... it's magical.
So true. It’s like the human voice in a way, it can be impersonated but that has limitations.
Sounds pretentious as fuck
@@chrisr7419 which part?
Might sound wierd but it's 100% legit. You can copy the notes but without Hendrick's lifetime of ingrained muscle memory, Hendrick's hands or Hendrick's heart it won't sound exactly like Hendricks.
It'll sound like you playing Hendricks. There's a lot of bends and other techniques that are just very unique to eacb individual player. At the highest levels it's often character and inflections that identifies an artist more than level of technique.
It is one of those things that even AI can't nail. The subtleties, the imperfections, the human touch. His guitar had a voice, Jimi was like the messenger who let the instrument speak. You kinda get to ask if the guitar played Jimi or the other way around
One Rainy Wish is his most underrated tune in my opinion
This song takes me to a whole other place
That song does not get nearly enough respect. Way ahead of its time
agreed 100%
Yeah man it’s criminally underrated. Same with pali gap
My absolute favorite song by Jimi
Love the passive aggressiveness towards the Hendrix estate for preventing a demonstration that would likely benefit them one way or another.
lol yeah took me a while to realize that is what was going on... its quite pathetic how protected his license is
It’s actually insane how good he played guitar his own way before and after himself.
I love that you played them ALMOST - probably to avoid copyright claims, but that actually made them more interesting.
Maybe the title was meant the be a slight at the Hendrix estate. At least that's how I heard Tyler's "I can't play Hendrix, but I can play Hendrix" comments.
@@werdecurb Exactly. Ironically the software he was using is officially licensed by the estate.
Hendrix state are killing his legacy. Is so sad that money and greed does to art. I'll be waiting to the moment the ownership expires ill do a full cover of every hendrix song as a thank you note to jimmy
“Warble away off into the ether…”
I love that. That’s going to be the name of my LP.
It's the curly guitar cable that's the real secret to Jimi's sound :)
How though?
@@Bstonz85 by that comment being a joke
It seems a joke, but the extra cable capacitance rolls off high frequencies and that was a major part of his sound!
Nothing better to start off the day than a music is win video

I'm afraid he would end up sounding like a polished turd going up and down endlessly on the fretboard, if he had started playing in the 80's or after
@@Heatfarmer nein
@@Heatfarmer So true. Theres that rawness and freedom in jimis playing that makes all that crap sound so disingenuous and lifeless

Bad proof reading. SHREDDING what's shedding LUL
That was fantastic. Thanks
For so many of these riffs I was like "That's so John Frusciante!". And then I realised that John is so Jimmy and it all made sense.
Except Jimmy never played lukewarm…
And his name is either James Marshall Hendrix or Jimi... not Jimmy.

Man I wish I couldn’t play Hendrix music like that .. Amazing.. thank you
You’re talking about Jimi’s live sound or recorded sound? The recordings were more than heavily modded by Eddie Kramer, the unsung hero
Kramer is a god, but just listening to the little wing isolated tracks jimis tone is still astounding before production

At times I have thought I heard the influence from jamming with his father Al. He even called it "the public saxophone"
Jimi Hendrix is one of my favorites

His cover of aware of love and gypsy woman at woodstock was amazing

Sounded pretty good to me. Really crank the plate reverb they all did that in the sixties its the secrete to sound like them. well maybe not crank it all the way but add some to were you can really hear it because its magical and heavenly. I really like the omni plate reverb.
