Nichole is correct: SRV; Robin Trower and many others borrowed heavily from Jimi - and all with great respect, but they all had their own thing too and put their thumb-print on the music every time they covered it so it clearly was "them". Randy on the other hand is super faithful to replicate the Hendrix sound with very little change which is why his audio recordings are often confused by listeners with actual Hendrix recordings - with the rare exception (SRV's Little Wing Instrumental) that doesn't happen too much with other artists.
Back watching again. When i heard little wing on jimis album recording all those years ago i thought what a beauitful simple work on guitar UNTIL NOW i realise after watching Randy play how incredibly complicated it is to sound like Jimi. Those fingers are working overtime on the fretboard. Again many thanks to Randy for this trip down memory lane.
Lou, this was thee song that for me clicked and I went ohhhh…. I first bought the Jimi Hendrix documentary soundtrack on 8track because of a guitarist friend pushing me to get it and it has a lot of live raw concert stuff and I just heard noise. My little brain wasn’t ready, then Little Wing played, the rest is mystery.
I love the embedded Voodoo Chile at 01:17 I've seen Randy something like 10 times over the last 20 or so years - mainly in small clubs - and I have to keep watching clips like this to remind myself just how good he is. There are a lot of people who have tried to copy Jimi but none has even come close except for Randy. I once took an American friend to a Randy concert. He had seen Jimi in the 60s and I asked him what the difference was between Jimi and Randy. His answer was that Randy could sing 😀
I can’t believe that you’ve got some Morans in the audience chatting away while this great artist is playing some of the best Hendrix that we will ever hear. That it to the parking lot people….
Saw Randy 42+ years ago at the Point East in Dyer, Indiana. That's a very long run. I'm 64 now and old. But Randy is still out there doing it. SRV is the only other one that does Jimi justice besides RH. I had the same vintage 50 watt 1977 Marshall rigs Randy had here. They're long gone.
Randy, What ever happened to the strat I built You in Pacific Grove? The one you used on The Germany TV Concert. Mike Holland said, "That you really liked it" The EVANS Pickups, Floyd Rose 2. and the beautiful wood left handed neck. What was not to Like? I still have it's brother guitar, EVANS handwired Humbucker, tele birdseye Maple neck. Neck, Middle EVANS strat pickups! .Tele body Solid Spruce, Floyd Rose 1, Voice and Beauty and Sustain, it has it all.
This is absolutely stunning to see and hear this man cover Jimi Hendrix.... He's apparently been around 40 years, but I just came across him this past week. Is he still performing? Whose ever posting his music, thank you.... Queasyrider
Looks like the 68 Japan reissue he's playing. Curious on the gear! Pedals and guitars I mean I see the plexi's or plexish amps. Before the nerds attack...
I saw Randy I believe in Kent, Washington in about 77 I think..He did his Jimi take very well. Chopping down the Family Tree is still very Hendrixy, but the guy can play.
Randy has been doing this for over 40 years now. NO ONE even comes close to what he has done and never will in the rest of the history of mankind.
Randy is the closest thing to Jimi we will ever see or hear.
Ever heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan?
@@joshuamariscal8455 stevie is amazing but Randy sounds scarily close to hendrix. I’d say he sound exactly in both playing style and voice
@@joshuamariscal8455 Stevie and Jimi are smiling down on this from heaven’s celestial rock concert in the sky

Absolute
He plays with the soul of Hendrix...and makes it look so friggin easy.
Sure , but still it’s not easy! Look also at Johnny Winter, great slide player but completely different as Jimmy
Randy is an icon - no doubt he covers Jimi but he does it best and always gives 110%

Absolutely beautiful rendition of one of my jimi favs. Thanks Randy, we love you....more please.

there are people who are destined by God to carry on where those who were great and have died left off ~ randy hansen is one of them
So glad I got to see him!!
Gonna miss this guy so much when he finally decides to retire because there is nobody else that can do what he has done. Nobody.
Nobody ever retires they just die.
@@spitfireaace not true but ok
Right. He's been doing this for over 40yrs.
He'll probably find something else to do.
@TheRabbit_123 There's no out there that is doing a good job of doing Jimi. Randy is probably the end of live Jimi at this level.

Frank Marino can also play Hendrix
@@ralex3697 Is he still doing it on stage across America and Europe?
That's got to go down as one of the best covers I've ever heard of this song. Jimi would smile, I'm sure.
Kirk Hendrix
Jimi iis still with us. Randy is his AVATAR
there are people who are destined by God to carry on where those who were great and have died left off ~ randy hansen is one of them
Thats fitting that hes using a hendrix signature strat

Bellisima .fantastico. einfach sau gut...
Never heard of this guy - pretty incredible!

Sorry Randy doesn't respond to comments on my channel. You may find him on Face Book. There is a group called"Friends who love Randy Hansen".
Awesome - even Randy's voice sounds like Jimi
Had a great time. Good video.
Randy is very awesome player, guitarist just like Jimi, full professional- brillant.
@@waldemarkalnicki2397 Professional is the word, you are 100% correct.
Smoked a joint with him one in Alaska, cool guy.
The tone.....😳
i need that exact strat damn
By the way, Stratcaster sound is amazing.
My God. Super welll done.
Transported back in time. 😊
E' una grande anima Rock Randy ''is very very very strong''
Randy is Art of Jimi Hendrix.
Yes

Yes he is still performing as of 2018...Hes still playing as of now too.
One love 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
burning. desire:)
Sweet!
I like it
käsittämättömän hyvää musaa
When will he be in The Netherlands?
The best who plays Jimi
😍
santana???
This guy has been reincarnated! 🔥🔥
does anyone know which pickups he uses in his guitar?
Looks like the 68 Japan reissue he's playing. Curious on the gear! Pedals and guitars I mean I see the plexi's or plexish amps. Before the nerds attack...
on par with the SRV versions
Jimi played a right handed strat left handed. He’s playing a left handed strat right handed.
The jim father said hes the only one play like his son
A very worthy guitar to survive that thrashing!
I just love to hear people yammering while an artist plays softly....
Me too. I call it hilarious hubbub why are you talking?
Try some original Randy Hansen here ruclips.net/video/GwNFtUYxCdA/видео.html
Does he have any of his own music?

ruclips.net/video/GwNFtUYxCdA/видео.html his style has a Hyndryxy feel to it. Flows like jimi
Ditto..
It’s Spot on Hendrix without the sad drugged up mistakes and sloppiness that was a common occurrence during JH live shows
You sound better than Hendrix you are Hendrix
This is why you dont play the guitar with your teeth! Just leave it to Jimi..
In fact, leave it all to Jimi
Jimi is dead. I bet you can't do it better than Randy.
I would take prince over jimi guitar. Better overall musician also.
@@larrywerdeniuk8157 I’m sure Prince wore all the grooves out on his Hendrix records ages ago
@@daveylee4677 yep. But... He became better than hendrix, guitar, singer, overall more talented.
@@larrywerdeniuk8157 What? Prince better than Jimi?
Please make this stop....
Just don't watch it anymore.
Go away, no one needs to hear you complain like a little baby that needs it's milk.
Wow… those teeth
Dude could eat an apple through a tennis racket
Not cool
@@broadswordvideo totally cool. You keep quiet dogsdick🤡🤛🏻
