Freddie Mercury ADORED Jimi Hendrix; he cried "for days" when Jimi died. Freddie idolized Jimi so much, there's even a photo of Fred when he was a teenager, copying a pose that Jimi had done sitting w his guitar.
Freddie also sang about Hendrix in Queen's song "The Miracle." Freddie is singing about this that he finds are a miracle and Hendrix is one of them. Roger Taylor sang about Hendrix in Queen's song "Drowse." In the outro he songs, "Jimi Hendrix. He was good."
After Jimi passed, there was a young guitarist who grew up idolizing him and only wanted to be that good. His name is Stevie Ray Vaughan. He achieved his goal. If you want to see him show his incredible chops, please react to STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN TEXAS FLOOD LIVE AT THE EL MACAMBO you can find it on YT. Peace -
SVR was a super great electrical guitarist. Definitely top 5 but to say he was a AS good as Hendrix is a stretch. SRV was a top notch technical player where as He drix was a top notch etherical player. Hard to compare them.
Jimi could play with his teeth, behind his back, between his legs, and over his head. His guitar was a standard stratocaster reversed to play left hand, which means that all the strings were reversed too. He premiered in the UK at Regents Polytechnic in London at a Cream gig where he requested to come up and jam. I was there! He plugged into Jack Bruces's bass amplifier, and blew everyone away (including Bruce, Baker, and Clapton - Cream) with his rendition of Howlin' Wolfs Killing Floor. Yes, he wiped the floor with all of them! From that point onwards I was hooked. I have never ever seen anyone equal or better Jimi on guitar, never, since his death in 1970.....although there are a lot of good guitarists including SRV. SRV was a disciple of Hendrix, just like so many others. Jimi was simply a one off, on a different plane and light years ahead of everyone else musically. I loved him then, and I still love him. Superb musician. My only regret was that I never met him in person and talked to him about his music. I was at plenty of his gigs. I heard a guy the other day playing chords just like Jimi. I came and watched the guy play, and later I tipped him. Anyone who can do that is deserving because they are creating magic.
^ ^ Its amazing that after all these years people are still listening to his music. He was certainly a big infuence on me. The first time I heard "Voodoo Chile" {slight return} I had a religous experience......yes I am EXPerienced !!!!! Have you ever been experienced? well I have! The tragedy is that he was so ahead of his time that people did not really understand his music. James Marshall Hendrix ....we will not see your like again! Ill meet on the next one and I wont be late! Foxy pagan Love fae Scotland VVxx
And now you need to listen to Hendrix's contemporary who was even voted by Melody Maker readers as the International Guitarist of the Year in 1972 above Hendrix, Clapton & Beck: Irish guitar legend Rory Gallagher. I'd recommend listening to the version of "A Million Miles Away" from the posthumously released Rory Gallagher Blues album, keeping in mind that this was recorded live in 1973 for the BBC 1 sessions. He doesn't use any special effects and the sounds on his guitar are all created by his hands on that instrument, not even a whammy bar (which broke off early in his ownership of his beat up '61 Strat and was never replaced). He was a phenomenal musician who heavily influenced other musicians such as Slash, Brian May, and Alex Lifeson.
Good job! Please react to: 1)Voodoo Child live in Maui (even better than this) 2. Voodoo Child at Woodstock (even better), and 3. Machine Gun at Fillmore East (my vote for greatest guitar solo ever). It destroys all before and after it, such emotional power!
What makes this performance even more impressive is that Jimi had been smoking weed and hash all day, and he took 2 hits of the notoriously powerful “Owsley” LSD not long before he went onstage. Jimi was absolutely lit, I’m shocked he was able to play at all.
You have to understand. Nobody, I mean NOBODY at this time played guitar like this in rock. Blues musicians were always ahead of their time and laid the foundation for Jimi's style, but in rock, you had guitarist like the Beach Boys, The Beatles and their relatively tame music. Chuck Berry could groove, but Jimi was over the top and showed the rest of them how it's done.
He sang, played lead, chewed gum and looked dope af all at the same time

@Edith Hendrix is my favorite too
Now you know how we felt 50 years ago when we first heard and saw him.
Jimi could play with his teeth, behind his back, between his legs, and over his head.

Jimi's the greatest do more
It was his tongue!
James Marshall Hendrix 😊
Now... React to Jimi playing Machine Gun @ Fillmore East. Smfh...
The thing is, he played with his teeth and behind his neck AND DIDN'T DROP A SINGLE NOTE. Not to mention playing lead guitar while singing lead.
It was his teeth
Tapping.

Prince copied several of Jimi's flourishes and moves, like the hand flip on the neck
Teeth
Sounds speeded up
