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
"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.
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.
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.
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
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😁
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 ✌
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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’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
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.
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.
worst part is the spark sucks so bad, literally me and two friends all bought one, all returned within a half hour of getting them, it sounds great of you plug it into a 10k computer music system like tyler has here, but without it, its CRAP.
He's an influencer, that's how it goes these days unfortunately. But I don't mind, I won't buy it anway. I watch it because I find him entertaining and you might learn a thing or two about triads or EQ
@@t.r.backenbaum7325 tylker isnt an influencer, he is now a spokesperson, he used to be a guy giving guitar lessons, now he just sells things and shows off products companies send him.
@@uncledeadhead3674 Your grasp of the English language and grammar is what “sucks” here. What genre of music is an expert player like yourself, trying play? He just sells stuff? You do know that he has bills to pay too, right? Quit crying about a guy on RUclips. lol
If you want to hear Jimi's unmatched magic in one song, listen to Stone free from the Jimi Hendrix concerts album (Royal Albert Hall). The solo is incredible and the part after the drum solo is pure brilliance.
@Andrew Korvin Atlanta? Really? I have never really liked the Atlanta performance. It's not bad but it is just so mediocre. His guitar tone really sucked there and most of the performance he was just going through the motions. To be honest I can't fathom that the Royal Albert Hall version of Stone free is not talked about more. It's always Machine gun (which I get) but this version of SF is just brilliant. In fact it's my favourite live recording ever.
@@JONTHEWHEREHOG Yes it is incredible although the solo is not his best. The quieter parts elevate it. To me Red house from Randall's island New York pop is every bit as good and the solo is breathtaking. But San Diego's Red house has some of his best playing as well, especially the intro and the wah part. His clean sound there is stunning.
Here's a little trivia -- Stone Free is the first song Hendrix ever wrote. I'm a huge Hendrix fan but I will concede that a lot of his live performances are terrible. He is way out of tune on a lot of them. Two reasons they were so bad were, Number One and most important he was often under the influence of substances when he played and if you get "fussed" up enough, nobody can play well or even play at all. In fact the night before he died at Ronnie Scott's club in London he was so incapacitated he couldn't play. It was sad, and people saw...Look up what Ronnie Wood had to say about seeing Hendrix that night. The other reason is that people expected him to do all of the tricks with the guitar instead of just playing it. He didn't like this expectation and said that it made him feel like they wanted to see "a circus clown." But when he was (relatively) sober and just stood there and played -- well, that's how we got we got his masterpiece Machine Gun from the Band of Gypsies album. Watch that footage -- he's not rolling around on the floor or playing with his teeth -- he's Jimi Hendrix the Guitar Player, not Jimi Hendrix the Circus Clown. Incidentally, Hendrix was INCREDIBLY reckless with his use of drugs and alcohol. On the night he died he took 18 times the prescribed dose of the barbiturate Vesparax which his girlfriend (for the night) had. He then washed them down with an entire bottle of red wine. That kind of thing was not unusual for him, but this time the chemistry and biology combined in a lethal way, and it killed him. Hey, I love Jimi as much as the next guy and probably more than most, but that kind of thing was going to happen to him sooner or later, and more likely sooner. Knowing what I know now, I don't think he would have seen 30. Absolutely terrible loss to the world.
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!
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...
Hey Tyler, I have a challenge for you. There is a great country instrumental called "The Claw" by Jerry Reed. It is a great song with hybrid picking. I love Hendrix. But he is not the only player with a unique style.
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.
Great video. If you see this, please let your friend of Positive Grid know that they should update the Bias FX VST to working properly on FL Studio. I sent them a message complaining that everytime I open a project I was previously working on, I always need to go to the Bias FX and manually look for the preset I was previously using (it always open in the same default preset no matter what changes I've made). They told me that "isn't optimized for FL Studio" lol sure, nobody plays the guitar and uses FL Studio, that DAW is for trap-heads and electronic music produces who don't know how to even grab a guitar 🥲
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!
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 🤘
The most amazing jimi songs to me are on Apple Music TTG studios 2 songs one / peace in missippi no words just pure melt your fucking face and room full of mirrors he always has the best lyrics
nice! imagine listening to one of his hundrets of liveconcerts. They said PA systems werent that great, but i bet sometime... imagine that. He played best when he wasnt oficially recorded.. IMHO
@@WilhelmWilder yeah, and i already said that his officially recorded livegigs dont reach highscores for MY personal taste. Im fully aware of probably 100. 00 percent of content thats floating around net. ive spent 20 years hunting unsurfaced, or non-sold records. so that i have not missed anything.. im hunting trough even the worst sounding records, up and down the net
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?!?!
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
@@nickwarden5134 I’m well aware of the Hendrix estate’s hair trigger to demonetize or take down videos with even a smidge of his content. That’s not the point of his video.
Drifting has got be one of the most beautiful songs ever, as is Castles Made of Sand, Little Wing, where to stop. Loved the improvisational jam at Woodstock. Machine Gun is otherworldly. 1983 .... is a masterpiece. Agree with Pali Gap. There are just so many songs that make Jimi so very special. Also his live versions would differ on his mood at any given time. As we listen, how we hear these songs will differ depending on our moods!!!
Jimis tone is based on cranking an amps volume, then controlling the gain with the volume pot on the guitar. Most people don't want hearing damage and that's whats required as a basis for Jimis tone.
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.
Hendrix used magic by studying the guitar playing style he was famous for.! Jimmy Hendrix played his feelings and emotions were in his songs the strumming or the tapping of the strings and he was a true artist like no other, humble beginnings like Elvis Presley. Jimmys choice material can’t be touched. The tributes played by the greatest guitar players in the world ever came close to his sound. It was Jimmies guitar was his fame.Hendrix mastered the art of playing a fender Stratocaster.
Driving south (alt and original), Born Under a Bad Sign, Jam 292, Pass it On (Straight Ahead) Live at Berkley, Peace in Mississippi, Night Flying Bird, Ships Passing Through The Night, Come On (Let The Good Times Roll), One Rainy Wish, Hey Gypsy Boy, Bold as Love (Olympic Studios version), Crying Blue Rain, Electric Church Red House, Once I Had a Woman, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Live in Stockholm, Sweden), and so so many others. I have a long ass spotify playlist of some good ass Jimi if anyone else likes him as much as I do. My spotify's Joey_Cich
My Washburn bass with active pickups has its uses, but my 69 sg bass has its own soul. I have an old sound brand tube amp that I HAVE to get going again. Nothing else was quite like it. Even tho my p/a amp and ev 15s were louder, it doesn't sound the same
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!
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).
Dude , you need to pulling those famous hendrix faces as well .... What i loved about hendrix is the same reason I love diamond Darrell . They both knew exactly what the wanted to play .
Great job with Watch Tower, big up from me, for whatever that's worth, but I really liked your take on it. Just goes to show you don't need to be a virtuoso to express yourself and not only that, to do it well.
wait I think I finally realized what you were talking about "not being able to play"... this is a copyright issue isnt it.. your attempt at all along the watch tower was brilliant i loved that

“Warble away off into the ether…”

Love the passive aggressiveness towards the Hendrix estate for preventing a demonstration that would likely benefit them one way or another.

Jimi wanted to meet Clapton when he first moved to London, he was Jimis hero

worst part is the spark sucks so bad, literally me and two friends all bought one, all returned within a half hour of getting them, it sounds great of you plug it into a 10k computer music system like tyler has here, but without it, its CRAP.
He's an influencer, that's how it goes these days unfortunately. But I don't mind, I won't buy it anway. I watch it because I find him entertaining and you might learn a thing or two about triads or EQ
@@t.r.backenbaum7325 tylker isnt an influencer, he is now a spokesperson, he used to be a guy giving guitar lessons, now he just sells things and shows off products companies send him.
@@uncledeadhead3674
Your grasp of the English language and grammar is what “sucks” here. What genre of music is an expert player like yourself, trying play? He just sells stuff? You do know that he has bills to pay too, right? Quit crying about a guy on RUclips. lol
If you want to hear Jimi's unmatched magic in one song, listen to Stone free from the Jimi Hendrix concerts album (Royal Albert Hall). The solo is incredible and the part after the drum solo is pure brilliance.
@Andrew Korvin Atlanta? Really? I have never really liked the Atlanta performance. It's not bad but it is just so mediocre. His guitar tone really sucked there and most of the performance he was just going through the motions. To be honest I can't fathom that the Royal Albert Hall version of Stone free is not talked about more. It's always Machine gun (which I get) but this version of SF is just brilliant. In fact it's my favourite live recording ever.
My favorite jimi performance is his San Diego Red House. Its probably his best live performance of any song besides machine gun.
@@JONTHEWHEREHOG Yes it is incredible although the solo is not his best. The quieter parts elevate it. To me Red house from Randall's island New York pop is every bit as good and the solo is breathtaking. But San Diego's Red house has some of his best playing as well, especially the intro and the wah part. His clean sound there is stunning.
Good choice!
Here's a little trivia -- Stone Free is the first song Hendrix ever wrote. I'm a huge Hendrix fan but I will concede that a lot of his live performances are terrible. He is way out of tune on a lot of them. Two reasons they were so bad were, Number One and most important he was often under the influence of substances when he played and if you get "fussed" up enough, nobody can play well or even play at all. In fact the night before he died at Ronnie Scott's club in London he was so incapacitated he couldn't play. It was sad, and people saw...Look up what Ronnie Wood had to say about seeing Hendrix that night. The other reason is that people expected him to do all of the tricks with the guitar instead of just playing it. He didn't like this expectation and said that it made him feel like they wanted to see "a circus clown." But when he was (relatively) sober and just stood there and played -- well, that's how we got we got his masterpiece Machine Gun from the Band of Gypsies album. Watch that footage -- he's not rolling around on the floor or playing with his teeth -- he's Jimi Hendrix the Guitar Player, not Jimi Hendrix the Circus Clown. Incidentally, Hendrix was INCREDIBLY reckless with his use of drugs and alcohol. On the night he died he took 18 times the prescribed dose of the barbiturate Vesparax which his girlfriend (for the night) had. He then washed them down with an entire bottle of red wine. That kind of thing was not unusual for him, but this time the chemistry and biology combined in a lethal way, and it killed him. Hey, I love Jimi as much as the next guy and probably more than most, but that kind of thing was going to happen to him sooner or later, and more likely sooner. Knowing what I know now, I don't think he would have seen 30. Absolutely terrible loss to the world.
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!
Yes, Tyler is a very great guitarist…obviously… keep up the awesome work Tyler!!
I think Jimi is looking down smiling watching this video with us.. amazing work man.
The honesty is refreshing.
Great video!
One of the finest and most versatile guitarists on RUclips. Tasty stuff, Tyler!
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...
Hey Tyler, I have a challenge for you. There is a great country instrumental called "The Claw" by Jerry Reed. It is a great song with hybrid picking. I love Hendrix. But he is not the only player with a unique style.
Jerry is a way too underrated and often forgotten picking and songwriting genius.
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.
Great video. If you see this, please let your friend of Positive Grid know that they should update the Bias FX VST to working properly on FL Studio. I sent them a message complaining that everytime I open a project I was previously working on, I always need to go to the Bias FX and manually look for the preset I was previously using (it always open in the same default preset no matter what changes I've made). They told me that "isn't optimized for FL Studio" lol sure, nobody plays the guitar and uses FL Studio, that DAW is for trap-heads and electronic music produces who don't know how to even grab a guitar 🥲
UPDATE: They fixed it. I can't believe it 😉
His cover of aware of love and gypsy woman at woodstock was amazing
that’s a pretty deep cut too hard to find online
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!
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 🤘
The most amazing jimi songs to me are on Apple Music TTG studios 2 songs one / peace in missippi no words just pure melt your fucking face and room full of mirrors he always has the best lyrics
Great video, you are very close tone wise and technique wise, sounds f-ing awesome!
Great playing and tone
Lol all I heard was “I can’t play this jimmy song” to avoid getting de-monetized… still a fun vid man!
Love the dig at Hendrix Studios 🔥
Cool video man, and Euphoria screensaver running behind you sent me in the past.
Thanks for repping Walt grace Ty! Hometown!
Imagine Being there when jimi had a break through for a song...damn...chills
nice! imagine listening to one of his hundrets of liveconcerts. They said PA systems werent that great, but i bet sometime... imagine that. He played best when he wasnt oficially recorded.. IMHO
@@erewrw1906 have you listened to band if gypsies?
@@WilhelmWilder yes, not my individual favorite tastes,
@@erewrw1906 well its a hendrix live album...
@@WilhelmWilder yeah, and i already said that his officially recorded livegigs dont reach highscores for MY personal taste. Im fully aware of probably 100. 00 percent of content thats floating around net. ive spent 20 years hunting unsurfaced, or non-sold records. so that i have not missed anything..
im hunting trough even the worst sounding records, up and down the net
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?!?!
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
This is one of the best videos. All the tone work was amazing
It's damn good! if I had my eyes closed I think that was Jimi playing , Great Job !!!
Dude, you can clearly play any lick you care to play! Amazing chops.
He doesn't want the video to get taken down, so he "can't play" the music.
@@nickwarden5134 I’m well aware of the Hendrix estate’s hair trigger to demonetize or take down videos with even a smidge of his content. That’s not the point of his video.
Kudos to you sir for capturing the essence of Jimi.
Drifting has got be one of the most beautiful songs ever, as is Castles Made of Sand, Little Wing, where to stop. Loved the improvisational jam at Woodstock. Machine Gun is otherworldly. 1983 .... is a masterpiece. Agree with Pali Gap. There are just so many songs that make Jimi so very special.
Also his live versions would differ on his mood at any given time. As we listen, how we hear these songs will differ depending on our moods!!!
agree with you. drifting is a super underrated track. up there with little wing and castles imo
Hell yeah !!you got it !!you got it !!
Never seen anyone come close to the sheer awesomeness and psychedelic chaos that is 3rd Stone From The Sun, not even SRV
Jimis tone is based on cranking an amps volume, then controlling the gain with the volume pot on the guitar. Most people don't want hearing damage and that's whats required as a basis for Jimis tone.
Master Volumes or Attenuators
Your channel makes me really want a PRS guitar.
That Paul Reed Smith isn't cutting it bro! Can't believe u wouldn't have used a fender stratoblaster for this achievement
I was thinking the Silver Sky was looking pretty good but I've never actually tried one. Are you thinking the strat is better?
“Again, I keep reviewing gear that makes me not have to have so many guitars. It’s a problem.” Hahaha!
Not when you have a nice arrangement with PRS!
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.
Hendrix used magic by studying the guitar playing style he was famous for.! Jimmy Hendrix played his feelings and emotions were in his songs the strumming or the tapping of the strings and he was a true artist like no other, humble beginnings like Elvis Presley. Jimmys choice material can’t be touched. The tributes played by the greatest guitar players in the world ever came close to his sound. It was Jimmies guitar was his fame.Hendrix mastered the art of playing a fender Stratocaster.
Has the recreated PRS Hendrix high end plexi. Plays on a plug-in. (I know it’s sponsored). Honestly impressed with some of those tones.
cant wait to play this for myself with my spark amp. great video!
Driving south (alt and original), Born Under a Bad Sign, Jam 292, Pass it On (Straight Ahead) Live at Berkley, Peace in Mississippi, Night Flying Bird, Ships Passing Through The Night, Come On (Let The Good Times Roll), One Rainy Wish, Hey Gypsy Boy, Bold as Love (Olympic Studios version), Crying Blue Rain, Electric Church Red House, Once I Had a Woman, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Live in Stockholm, Sweden), and so so many others. I have a long ass spotify playlist of some good ass Jimi if anyone else likes him as much as I do. My spotify's Joey_Cich
That is the most beautiful color of any 335 I've ever seen OMG 😱 it's gorgeous!!! Great stuff
I'm spending my evening learning that version of Purple Haze, sounds EPIC. Kudos 🙂
Doing a Hendrix vid and not using a Fender is blasphemy!..... Just messing, another great vid dude! Love the channel.
My Washburn bass with active pickups has its uses, but my 69 sg bass has its own soul. I have an old sound brand tube amp that I HAVE to get going again. Nothing else was quite like it. Even tho my p/a amp and ev 15s were louder, it doesn't sound the same
Jimi Hendrix is one of my favorites
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!
Very valid thoughts.
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).
Dude , you need to pulling those famous hendrix faces as well ....
What i loved about hendrix is the same reason I love diamond Darrell .
They both knew exactly what the wanted to play .
Oh yeah one more thing. You have to do a mash-up of pentatonic diatonic chromatic and a few others but a great video thank you!
Bro that first demo track tore me a new... well it really rocked.
what is it called?
The opening on foxy lady pumps me up so much
That was fantastic. Thanks
Great job with Watch Tower, big up from me, for whatever that's worth, but I really liked your take on it. Just goes to show you don't need to be a virtuoso to express yourself and not only that, to do it well.
Thanks Great job I enjoyed the video
wait I think I finally realized what you were talking about "not being able to play"... this is a copyright issue isnt it.. your attempt at all along the watch tower was brilliant i loved that
More videos like this, that was awesome.
theres such a cool vibe to the new background i love it
Love from India sir
❤
Shhh you
Close enough for jazz... effectively nailing it!
You can never make too many Jimi Hendrix videos
Very nice ad! Inspiring 🎸
