I think everyone who loves Jimi loves SRV, too. Like, how could you not? You see how Jimi’s left handed? And do you see that guitar is upside-down? LEGEND.
SRV copied jimi even his licks im a guitar player of 40 yrs its not hard too copy and add too someone and people on utube who never heard jimi give SRV all this credit!
@@joesmith6524 if you actually listen to srv outside of his hendrix covers you can hear he was a big fan of Albert King also. He wasn't super original, but in terms of technicality, he kicked Jimis ass, imo. He also had an intensity to his playing that differs from most players
@@Alex-et5tj Being technically proficient on an instrument does not make you an innovator. They are two different universes. Jimi innovated, SRV imitated.
Totally 100%. Mate. The picture and sound quality, camera angles on Jimmi and crowd capturing the moment perfectly, the colour, his guitar tone and effects, his performance on this day, families with infants, damn there's even a horse running in the background. This really stirs the soul brother.
Been a Hendrix fan like forever. This is an amazing piece of footage only recently released and the picture quality (and sound) is superb. This is three guys, absolutely 100% live. No backing track or orchestra or overdubs. Just three guys playing live in a windy field. Totally awesome. Can you imagine performers today singing into a mike with a bit of sponge zip tied around it? Actually, scratch that. I don't think zip ties had been invented then. It's probably just a simple bit of wire...
left us too soon! ... can you even imagine if he had just another ten more years where he had more time to download all the stuff he was hearing in his dreams and visions .. just as Carlos Santana expressed as much in his impression of Jimi and his playing!
On his albums I wondered, "How did he know what aa spaceship sounds like?" even while it was happening, he was creating the sounds with a guitar... not even a synthesizer... no tape loops on stage... bass, drums... guitar... WoW
Gotta hear the original (long, studio version) on Jimi's Electric Ladyland album; called "Voodoo Chile." Slight Return is the shorter one (also on the album). They're not on You Tube. It's worth buying the album, also his Axis Bold As Love album.
Let's give some love to that rhythm section of "Badass" Billy Cox on bass and "Mighty" Mitch Mitchell on drums! The best drums and bass combo a guitar virtuoso like Hendrix could ever ask for!
But I think it is wrong to say that Jimi was not of this Earth!...He was very human, like you and me...he went through a type of Hell as a kid, not getting enough love and care from his relatives, running the streets of Seattle as a teen. getting in trouble with the law, joining the service,, and then staying true to his artistic vision, with hardly any help from anyone. So remarkable, that he somehow found his way to stardom, despite the odds. He is one of my very few heroes!
You lose the bet....Jimi, before he was famous, played the "Chitlin" circuit--very small clubs, mostly in the South, and mostly to black folks...frequently those clubs could only hold 50-100 people...some nights he would only get ten dollars!...Hendrix paid his dues, on the road, for over four long years, before he finally got his big break, went to England, became huge in Europe, and then came back to the USA in 1967...Jimi was so great, because he truly was "experienced"!
His tones.. always fresh and new to this planet. I witnessed it myself , front row at 14 . Never been the same. This was a mixture of Band of Gypsies ,Billy Cox on bass . The Jimi Hendrix Experience , Mitch Mitchell on drums. Concert was performed in a volcano krator in Hawaii. This was the line up that I experienced.
And to think that there are still hundreds of hours of his incredible music yet to be released to everyone There will be and still are people who deny his first ever style on the guitar as not that impactive but hendrix single handedly changed how the guitar could be played as well as altering rock music forever!
In 1966 I was 12 i had a friend Anthony who’s older brother Danny had just bought “are you experienced” LP, he lit up a joint and we all shared it and listened to “are you experienced” life was never the same
Hendrix "Pali gap" The most beautiful, mesmorizing sound, from Rainbow Bridge LP. I have over 50 first press Hendreix, Goldmine Rated NM/EX vinyl. Eat your heart out! But I'm old.

Much to the chagrin of their host band; understandably, not invited back. lol. Lawton is among best female guitarists, ever! Little known. Pretty thang, too . . .
People need to STOP comparing SRV’s version to Jimi’s version of this song. Jimi WROTE it, CREATED it, and FELT it in his SOUL. SRV COPIED it. It’s like when a comedian imitates an actors voice, it may sound a little like Christopher Walken or Robert Deniro, but it’s NOT them. When Jimi plays this song, that he thought up in his head, you can feel it from every fiber of his being. SRV practiced this song every day from childhood and yes, he mastered all the notes and chords, but it’s rehearsed and played exactly like the record. Jimi NEVER played this song the same way twice, nor did he care how perfect or clean it was. EVERY time he played it live, he played it differently. It was about how Jimi FELT in the MOMENT on stage. SRV plays a nice imitation, that’s it. Jimi was THE improvisor and the ORIGINAL. NO disrespect to SRV, but C’MON, this song BELONGS to Jimi all the way!
Jimi Hendrix is a legend, he did inspire many guitarists including Yngwie Malmsteen who grew up watching Jimi and you can see the influence in his live shows. Would love your reaction on "Black Star" Yngwie Malmsteen Live, you'll love it.
Arguments over who was the greatest guitarist of all time are irrelevant. Jimi was the most EXCITING guitarist who ever lived. That's why he's the best.
He was the master at manipulating feedback and distortion and weaving it so seamlessly into his sound. No other guitarist could even attempt it. SRV's take on Voodoo Chile is nice but lacks the excitement that Jimi infused it with.
What people fail to realize is that without Jimi ,there would be no Stevie, no Jeff, no Tommy, Carlos, Steve, Neil's, Eddie, Eric/s, Angus, Ingve, Mathias, Jimmy, Alex, David, Adrian, Pete, etc. I can go on and on. Many of them would gratefully agree. Even though his sound is older, it's due to the time. He was pioneer, ......one who paved the way for many who wanted to pick up the axe and play just seeing him. They all brought their God given gifts to the table for us to enjoy. Don't forget, Hendrix had to battle alot along the way, where guitarists who followed him did not have to endure the same things. He wrote Purple Haze which was the mantra of the mod 60's. He totally changed the sound Machine Gun which has hit the heart of many a veteran, my dad included, who was hard nosed to some rock an roll music and The Star Spangled Banner, which many are starting to understand his version more and more as life goes on. It spoke of many things during that time. Some of those themes are still rampant and seem to still be somewhat active in the 21st century. Some racial inequality, war, the Black Panther Militants/maybe just under different names, and us just trying to survive and getting the people together, but in a world where no one can seem to agree to disagree without violence. We need music like this now more than ever, and there are not too many who are stepping up to the plate to do what he accomplished. He took a chance in a rock world where blacks were still coming from the chiltlin' circuit. Fast playing is not all there is to playing guitar. When you can move masses to want to play, you are the inspiration to many, so when they call him The Goat, believe me.....he is
I saw Jimi live. He could do all that left-handed, right-handed, one-handed with either hand, behind his head, behind his back, between his legs, with his teeth, with his tongue, with his elbow, with the mike stand, like it was nothing at all and Never. Miss. A. Note. You couldn't believe what you were seeing or hearing even while you were watching him do it. SRV is cool, but Jimi is Clark Kent's brother, sent here from another planet to teach us what guitars can do. See Wild Thing and Hey Joe at Monterey Pop and the Start Spangled Banner at Woodstock.
I like your channel. Have been binge watching your reviews & subscribed. I really love music. It would be nice to have talent, it truly is a gift. PS...you would’ve been fabulous in a disco, lol.
Actually Woodstock was August '69. This Maui concert was July '70. His last concert before he died was Isle of Wight festival in early September '70, 2 weeks before he died.
Steve Winwood dropped by the studio when Jimi was recording his third album, Electric Ladyland. They jammed, Jimi on guitar and Winwood on organ. The result was the studio version of Voodoo Child that can be heard on the Electric Ladyland album. I cannot find this version on youtube. The album /cd is worth the purchase just to hear Hendrix and Winwood jam on voodoo child.
This is from the Rainbow Bridge concert/movie, a private event held on Maui by the drug smuggling/distributing/selling Brotherhood of Eternal Love... (I was a mule for them, carrying AfgHani primo hash and Orange Sunshine LSD long before the term mule was used for transporting these drugs.) You can see a lot of the audience members are well into what were ritual psychedelic experiences! I did not see this concert, but was at the foot of the stage when Hendrix played the helLA Forum in 1968. That concert literally changed my entire life. NO other guitarist comes close to Jimi, and his singing was great too.
With just a silicon Fuzz pedal, Univibe pedal, vox wah pedal, 1968 Fender Stratocaster (turned upside down) and 3 - 100 watt Marshall amp stacks - daisy chained together. Jimi created all those sounds with just that simple setup... Amazing! From my understanding Jimi wanted to possibly finish up more songs to his next L.P. and also his new music studio "Electric Lady Studios" was nearing completion. So Jimi got talked into going to Hawaii by Mike Jeffreys for the Rainbow Bridge movie and from my understanding it was a last minute idea to have Jimi come in and perform so it could be added to the movie footage. Thats possibly why the crowd (audience) was so small, it was composed mainly of people who lived in the area and parts of the production crew / Rainbow Bridge cast standing there watching him play. It wasn't meant to be a fully organized or well planned out concert.
Think about it: before this, it was The Beatles, The Stones, The Beachboys and Motown......You can hear the direct line from this to SRV and Jimmy Page. That was the “hippie dance”.....how you dance when you’re very mellowly stoned.....feeling the beat but in kind of a trance state....This was filmed in the countryside On Maui I believe.....and I think there was allot of “Maui wowie” around.....I remember those days.....
At the end of the show Jimi used to douse his guitar in lighter fluid and set it on fire. Like throwing your wine glasses in the fire place so they will never be used for a lesser toast. And yeah, Star Spangled Banner at sunrise at Woodstock a must!
Truth is, he only did that three times...and he played well over three hundred gigs, after his rise to fame...No flaming guitars after 1967, and he died in September of 1970.
Not sure I ever understood the reason for SVR’s version of this song when you have Jimi. SVR was a fine guitarist, but jimi was and is outta this world.
he was in a space trip thats why he makes the space noises with the guitar - if you watch the movie the rainbow bridge where this footage is from you will get it - it is an lsd experiment where hendrix happened to play - people were given lsd as they entered and asked to sit with thier star signs - check the flags in the field = so all the aries sat together . all the virgos etc - no matter who you came with
FIRE BRO!, check out Voodoo Child live at Woodstock and Foxy Lady Live, wearing a white shirt, might be Woodstock also!!!, FIRE BRO!, no one compares, PLEASE!!!, 👊🏻
FyI Jimmy wrote Voodoo Child , Voodoo Child a Slight Return, Little Wing, and Third Stone from the Sun, all of which SRV covered. SRV was great in his own right, I did love him and Jimmy obviously was one of his main influences, but no matter how well he covered Jimi's songs, he was still SRV. There is and will always be only one Jimi Hendrix to come along in a lifetime. He was a genius innovator, writer, musician who was really one with his guitar which spoke his mind, heart and soul that was mystical and other worldy. In the short amount of timed he graced this planet, he turned the music world on it's head and left an indelible imprint. To paraphrase something Eric Clapton aid ' The first time he saw Jimi play, it was like it's all over. You couldn't figure out what Jimi's hands were doing on the guitar or how he got it to make the sounds he was getting out of it, even if you were standing over him and watching him do it'. Yes there is something to be said for guitarists or any instrumentalists who are excellent technicians, and or those who can shred at super sonic speed. Jimi had it all with a biscuit.
Also, I think Hendrix started playing around 15 years or so. Didn't put the time everyone else did, as many guitarists started when they were kids, in the Military as well. Considering all of that, his natural talent, and vibe\feel of the music is something very unique to Hendrix.
@@nthdegree1269 He actually got the guitar around 12yrs. old and started playing with the Isley Brothers around the age of 15 or 16. Tony Rice, an associate the Isleys told them " this kid (Jimi) was the best and that he played right-handed guitar with his left hand,".
Hendrix, man..he showed them all just how it was done..Jimmy Page learned half of what he knows from Hendrix and Stevie Ray learned Everything he knew from Hendrix, who did it all better 15 years earlier. As an Original. The engineering on the studio version is stunning, the vu meters just dance, headphones become alive...
I saw him twice...unforgettable force of Nature on guitar!...SRV is likely better from a technical standpoint...but Hendrix was the "natural"...he started electric guitar at 15 years of age, and was brilliant by the age of 23...SRV began playing at the age of 7.. and had 20 years on guitar, before he was "discovered" at the age of 27...that happens to be the age that Hendrix died....as Jimi's last bass player, and good friend, Billy Cox has said " I witnessed Jimi putting in 20 years of practice in just the 4 years that I originally played with him..."....so yeah, the argument can be made, that Stevie was maybe even more accomplished on guitar than Jimi was...but give Hendrix credit for being the greatest innovator of them all...definitely in the genius category.
Yessss.... have you seen the movie about him? Andre 3000 was good! Plis, my great grandma's maiden name was Hendrix, and I'm SURE we MUST be related lol
Jimi was a pure creator. He could play 7 notes in 1000 ways. Hip-hopers, RAPPERS and the like are so f... shitty garbage. Can't play 2 notes in 1 way. They need studio fake tricks to cover up their lack of musicianship.
The absolutely most amazing capture of live electric guitar ever recorded. What was different that day was although his playing was from another planet, he was very stoic physically while playing. There is a black and white video capture of some of that performance and he doesn't move around much and isn't his usual expressive self. He was in another zone completely and the music bears that out.
@@michele3314 i would go with the isle of wight one. Played just a short time before his death. He's SO tired, and it just pours out of him. Haunting and so beautiful, from out of this solar system. It's hard to find good footage.
Jimi is the man and the only one in music. 'Are You Experienced' says it all. His best song ever and title of his first album. Nobody will play the guitar like Jimi again. He left America, because American's were still backwards. Europe had already embraced Postmodern ideology whereas America doesn't till 1973. I started listening to Jimi at age 11 and barely listened to anything else after that. I wrote about Jimi at school when I was 12 after my brother went to Vietnam in 1970, the year Jimi went to heaven. I miss him hard. 6 is 9 now.
You ask what other Hendrix performances you should react to, I can dump a laundry list of performances you can react to or at least watch on your personal time and be amazed at each one of them but two that you should definitely react to is, Things I used to do with Buddy Miles and Red House in New York 1968. Those are probably some of the best Hendrix performances on RUclips but not the best Hendrix performances. Great reaction bro.
I feel like Jimi was the innovator. Stevie grew up listening listening to the great black blues guitarist's album & learning to play their songs note for note. But Jimi was truly Stevie's idol & many including Eric Clapton thought Stevie was able to channel Hendrix. You should listen to Stevie playing with Albert King, they played a whole session together, unbelievable.
IMO, SRV is/was the logical inheritor of the Hendrix legacy...he was his own force of Nature, and freely talked about Jimi being a strong influence on his playing...there does exist a live performance of Double Trouble from 1982, in some Houston club, where SRV does several Hendrix tunes---he really "got it" when it came to playing Jimi's stuff....he could sound just like Jimi...and at that time, no one else could get that sound so right!
Jimi and Stevie are not comparable. Stevie sterilized Jimi songs. His playing may be more technically clean and proficient, but he's no Hendrix. The problem with Jimi is that it's hard to get studio versions of his stuff on youtube, and even harder to keep reaction videos up from what I've gathered. It's a bummer.
Stevie Ray Vaughan was brilliant in his own right and his tributes to Jimi Hendrix songs are the best that there is but that being said Jimi Hendrix created them creating music and covering music is two different universes and Jimi Hendrix is one of the all-time greatest guitar players that ever lived maybe one of the most innovative especially talented human beings it's ever walk the face of this Earth🌍✊
I am a guitarist. I can tell you SRV is great. I love his playing but in writing songs, the studio. Innovation, creativity, originality and technical proficiency he is no Hendrix. The control of feedback, effortlessly pairing his voice with instrument is so difficult and Jimi does it easily. Machine Gun is the last statement on electronic blues guitar. The Star Spangled Banner is iconic. The beauty of Little Wing.. No shame on SRV but Hendrix is the GOAT.
Jimi was left handed in a world with only right handed guitars so he adapted he inverted & reversed the stratocaster instrument and took it to the Stratosphere
Amazing performance, FOR SURE! I wish the video would've shown a LOT MORE of Jimi actually PERFORMING, and a LOT LESS of the crowd and the back of Jimi's head. I tuned in to see Jimi! I wanted to see Jimi playing behind his back, or with his teeth (or tongue), or more with just one hand! Thumbs up for the music.
Purple Haze from Atlanta is pretty wonderful. Some of the notes he plays, he exploits the journey between the required pitches in a way that takes you with him - if that makes sense? :-) There's also a one-handed lick in the first few bars of the song that he throws in, that is to die for. ruclips.net/video/cJunCsrhJjg/видео.html
Coolest human EVER...oh and you heard SRV do a cover of voodoo chile slight return which is an original of hendrix... Without Jimi there would be no SRV
In a little more than three short years until his death, Jimi went from nothing to become the highest paid rock artist in the world. He remained the best selling black artist in the world - even after his death - until Micheal Jackson's Thriller album 12 years later. He should be as honoured in the black community as James Brown, Miles Davis and spoken about as being as revolutionary as the Black Panthers.
Jimi hendrix was miles ahead of everyone else no one like him, absolute legend.
ABSOLUTELY!
Still is.
I think everyone who loves Jimi loves SRV, too. Like, how could you not?
You see how Jimi’s left handed? And do you see that guitar is upside-down? LEGEND.
SRV copied jimi even his licks im a guitar player of 40 yrs its not hard too copy and add too someone and people on utube who never heard jimi give SRV all this credit!

JIMI is the #GOAT THERES NO ONE LIKE HIM. He’s not from this planet. Best guitar player ever and there’s not even a distant second
there was another guy named jimmy right there.
But I think it is wrong to say that Jimi was not of this Earth!...He was very human, like you and me...he went through a type of Hell as a kid, not getting enough love and care from his relatives, running the streets of Seattle as a teen. getting in trouble with the law, joining the service,, and then staying true to his artistic vision, with hardly any help from anyone.

The whole improvised solo is amazing.
This set is one of his most amazing sets.
It's called the sheer force of nature reverberating all through your body ... and there is no denying it cuz it won't be denied!
Jimi's music helped to form who I am , I feel reverence every time I hear it. He was an artist down to the marrow in his bones.
I bet Jimi had never played to a smaller crowd in his life! This video is the most amazing thing I've seen in years!!!
You lose the bet....Jimi, before he was famous, played the "Chitlin" circuit--very small clubs, mostly in the South, and mostly to black folks...frequently those clubs could only hold 50-100 people...some nights he would only get ten dollars!...Hendrix paid his dues, on the road, for over four long years, before he finally got his big break, went to England, became huge in Europe, and then came back to the USA in 1967...Jimi was so great, because he truly was "experienced"!

Seems a great crowd to me. Chilling, vibing af
you should do Jimi's cover of "All Along The Watchtower", one of the best rock songs ever. Dylan said "Jimi owns it now".
Legendary
He got that guitar screaming bloody murder
Listening to Jimi is no light matter...
I saw Jimi live.

Steve Winwood dropped by the studio when Jimi was recording his third album, Electric Ladyland. They jammed, Jimi on guitar and Winwood on organ. The result was the studio version of Voodoo Child that can be heard on the Electric Ladyland album. I cannot find this version on youtube. The album /cd is worth the purchase just to hear Hendrix and Winwood jam on voodoo child.
Raw and beautiful.
Hey Joe at the Monterey Pop Festival.
Purple Haze at the Atlanta Pop Festival.

This is from the Rainbow Bridge concert/movie, a private event held on Maui by the drug smuggling/distributing/selling Brotherhood of Eternal Love... (I was a mule for them, carrying AfgHani primo hash and Orange Sunshine LSD long before the term mule was used for transporting these drugs.) You can see a lot of the audience members are well into what were ritual psychedelic experiences!
I did not see this concert, but was at the foot of the stage when Hendrix played the helLA Forum in 1968. That concert literally changed my entire life. NO other guitarist comes close to Jimi, and his singing was great too.
With just a silicon Fuzz pedal, Univibe pedal, vox wah pedal, 1968 Fender Stratocaster (turned upside down) and 3 - 100 watt Marshall amp stacks - daisy chained together. Jimi created all those sounds with just that simple setup... Amazing!
From my understanding Jimi wanted to possibly finish up more songs to his next L.P. and also his new music studio "Electric Lady Studios" was nearing completion.
So Jimi got talked into going to Hawaii by Mike Jeffreys for the Rainbow Bridge movie and from my understanding it was a last minute idea to have Jimi come in and perform so it could be added to the movie footage.
Thats possibly why the crowd (audience) was so small, it was composed mainly of people who lived in the area and parts of the production crew / Rainbow Bridge cast standing there watching him play.
It wasn't meant to be a fully organized or well planned out concert.
Jimmy and his guitar were one ! WHAAAAAT? He was THE MASTER, Stevie was the protege."Hey Joe" and the Star Spangled Banner" also at woodstock
Jimi= the MAN 🎸🔥
Think about it: before this, it was The Beatles, The Stones, The Beachboys and Motown......You can hear the direct line from this to SRV and Jimmy Page. That was the “hippie dance”.....how you dance when you’re very mellowly stoned.....feeling the beat but in kind of a trance state....This was filmed in the countryside On Maui I believe.....and I think there was allot of “Maui wowie” around.....I remember those days.....
At the end of the show Jimi used to douse his guitar in lighter fluid and set it on fire. Like throwing your wine glasses in the fire place so they will never be used for a lesser toast. And yeah, Star Spangled Banner at sunrise at Woodstock a must!
Truth is, he only did that three times...and he played well over three hundred gigs, after his rise to fame...No flaming guitars after 1967, and he died in September of 1970.
Live at monterey , live at woodstock & Hendrix with a band of gypsy's live at the Fillmore .
the King!
The kid at 4:48 is like ye whatever lol
Not sure I ever understood the reason for SVR’s version of this song when you have Jimi. SVR was a fine guitarist, but jimi was and is outta this world.
Stevie went to Jimi's parents and asked them if he could pay tribute to Jimi by doing his songs and they said yes. Stevie very much respected Jimi.
that is NOT true i knew Al Hendrix.....BTW jimis mom died when he was 13
My god he burned so brightly 🔥
he was in a space trip thats why he makes the space noises with the guitar - if you watch the movie the rainbow bridge where this footage is from you will get it - it is an lsd experiment where hendrix happened to play - people were given lsd as they entered and asked to sit with thier star signs - check the flags in the field = so all the aries sat together . all the virgos etc - no matter who you came with
FIRE BRO!, check out Voodoo Child live at Woodstock and Foxy Lady Live, wearing a white shirt, might be Woodstock also!!!, FIRE BRO!, no one compares, PLEASE!!!, 👊🏻
Seeing nothing but truth through his guitar…Nothing but truth…No lies, politics or bullshit…
FyI Jimmy wrote Voodoo Child , Voodoo Child a Slight Return, Little Wing, and Third Stone from the Sun, all of which SRV covered. SRV was great in his own right, I did love him and Jimmy obviously was one of his main influences, but no matter how well he covered Jimi's songs, he was still SRV. There is and will always be only one Jimi Hendrix to come along in a lifetime. He was a genius innovator, writer, musician who was really one with his guitar which spoke his mind, heart and soul that was mystical and other worldy. In the short amount of timed he graced this planet, he turned the music world on it's head and left an indelible imprint. To paraphrase something Eric Clapton aid ' The first time he saw Jimi play, it was like it's all over. You couldn't figure out what Jimi's hands were doing on the guitar or how he got it to make the sounds he was getting out of it, even if you were standing over him and watching him do it'. Yes there is something to be said for guitarists or any instrumentalists who are excellent technicians, and or those who can shred at super sonic speed. Jimi had it all with a biscuit.
Also, I think Hendrix started playing around 15 years or so. Didn't put the time everyone else did, as many guitarists started when they were kids, in the Military as well. Considering all of that, his natural talent, and vibe\feel of the music is something very unique to Hendrix.
@@nthdegree1269 He actually got the guitar around 12yrs. old and started playing with the Isley Brothers around the age of 15 or 16. Tony Rice, an associate the Isleys told them " this kid (Jimi) was the best and that he played right-handed guitar with his left hand,".
Hendrix, man..he showed them all just how it was done..Jimmy Page learned half of what he knows from Hendrix and Stevie Ray learned Everything he knew from Hendrix, who did it all better 15 years earlier. As an Original. The engineering on the studio version is stunning, the vu meters just dance, headphones become alive...
I saw him twice...unforgettable force of Nature on guitar!...SRV is likely better from a technical standpoint...but Hendrix was the "natural"...he started electric guitar at 15 years of age, and was brilliant by the age of 23...SRV began playing at the age of 7.. and had 20 years on guitar, before he was "discovered" at the age of 27...that happens to be the age that Hendrix died....as Jimi's last bass player, and good friend, Billy Cox has said " I witnessed Jimi putting in 20 years of practice in just the 4 years that I originally played with him..."....so yeah, the argument can be made, that Stevie was maybe even more accomplished on guitar than Jimi was...but give Hendrix credit for being the greatest innovator of them all...definitely in the genius category.
Yessss.... have you seen the movie about him? Andre 3000 was good! Plis, my great grandma's maiden name was Hendrix, and I'm SURE we MUST be related lol
I never seen the movie
Hey Joe, All Along The Wachtower, Manic Deepression...
Hendrix is the GOAT
Period.
@@thecounselorace621 This is peak Hendrix IMHO. With a time machine and one concert to travel to, this is the one. vimeo.com/444280586
Jimi was a pure creator.
He could play 7 notes in 1000 ways.
Hip-hopers, RAPPERS and the like are so f... shitty garbage. Can't play 2 notes in 1 way. They need studio fake tricks to cover up their lack of musicianship.
Listen to machine gun...band of gypsy's..I promise you will have to take a nap afterwards...
The absolutely most amazing capture of live electric guitar ever recorded. What was different that day was although his playing was from another planet, he was very stoic physically while playing. There is a black and white video capture of some of that performance and he doesn't move around much and isn't his usual expressive self. He was in another zone completely and the music bears that out.
@@michele3314 i would go with the isle of wight one. Played just a short time before his death. He's SO tired, and it just pours out of him. Haunting and so beautiful, from out of this solar system. It's hard to find good footage.
@@jacobgelfer idk man the band of gypsies version is probably one of the best live guitar parts of all time.
Jimi Hendrix Guitar God
God playing the guitar
@@lrwiersum what u think abt slash
Jimi is the man and the only one in music. 'Are You Experienced' says it all. His best song ever and title of his first album. Nobody will play the guitar like Jimi again. He left America, because American's were still backwards. Europe had already embraced Postmodern ideology whereas America doesn't till 1973. I started listening to Jimi at age 11 and barely listened to anything else after that. I wrote about Jimi at school when I was 12 after my brother went to Vietnam in 1970, the year Jimi went to heaven. I miss him hard. 6 is 9 now.
You ask what other Hendrix performances you should react to, I can dump a laundry list of performances you can react to or at least watch on your personal time and be amazed at each one of them but two that you should definitely react to is, Things I used to do with Buddy Miles and Red House in New York 1968. Those are probably some of the best Hendrix performances on RUclips but not the best Hendrix performances. Great reaction bro.
I feel like Jimi was the innovator. Stevie grew up listening listening to the great black blues guitarist's album & learning to play their songs note for note. But Jimi was truly Stevie's idol & many including Eric Clapton thought Stevie was able to channel Hendrix. You should listen to Stevie playing with Albert King, they played a whole session together, unbelievable.
Albert King was SRV's main influence. Jimi was second.
IMO, SRV is/was the logical inheritor of the Hendrix legacy...he was his own force of Nature, and freely talked about Jimi being a strong influence on his playing...there does exist a live performance of Double Trouble from 1982, in some Houston club, where SRV does several Hendrix tunes---he really "got it" when it came to playing Jimi's stuff....he could sound just like Jimi...and at that time, no one else could get that sound so right!
@@jackscott5593 Agreed!
Best guitarist ever.
Oy!!
Of course we danced so bad. We were all high on weed and acid man. FFS it was the 60's.
the Goat ...
Jimi and Stevie are not comparable. Stevie sterilized Jimi songs. His playing may be more technically clean and proficient, but he's no Hendrix.
The problem with Jimi is that it's hard to get studio versions of his stuff on youtube, and even harder to keep reaction videos up from what I've gathered. It's a bummer.
Not to mention he had 20 years to learn
Stevie Ray Vaughan was brilliant in his own right and his tributes to Jimi Hendrix songs are the best that there is but that being said Jimi Hendrix created them creating music and covering music is two different universes and Jimi Hendrix is one of the all-time greatest guitar players that ever lived maybe one of the most innovative especially talented human beings it's ever walk the face of this Earth🌍✊
I am a guitarist. I can tell you SRV is great. I love his playing but in writing songs, the studio. Innovation, creativity, originality and technical proficiency he is no Hendrix. The control of feedback, effortlessly pairing his voice with instrument is so difficult and Jimi does it easily. Machine Gun is the last statement on electronic blues guitar. The Star Spangled Banner is iconic. The beauty of Little Wing.. No shame on SRV but Hendrix is the GOAT.
"Hey Joe" the Monterey Pop Festival
there will never be another
Jimi was left handed in a world with only right handed guitars so he adapted he inverted & reversed the stratocaster instrument and took it to the Stratosphere
I just now realized supernaut by Black Sabbath sound exactly like this opening riff
Dude he has a blues version of this song on electric ladyland that you must hear under all circumstances
The Man. Destroyed rock and roll and put it back together. The pioneer. Stevie continued the jam but Jimi brought it.
That what I say.
Machinegun live in Fillmore east, by Jimi Hendrix Experienced
Amazing performance, FOR SURE! I wish the video would've shown a LOT MORE of Jimi actually PERFORMING, and a LOT LESS of the crowd and the back of Jimi's head. I tuned in to see Jimi! I wanted to see Jimi playing behind his back, or with his teeth (or tongue), or more with just one hand! Thumbs up for the music.
He da GOAT end of story
GOAT
Purple Haze from Atlanta is pretty wonderful. Some of the notes he plays, he exploits the journey between the required pitches in a way that takes you with him - if that makes sense? :-)
There's also a one-handed lick in the first few bars of the song that he throws in, that is to die for.

Coolest human EVER...oh and you heard SRV do a cover of voodoo chile slight return which is an original of hendrix... Without Jimi there would be no SRV
Jimi was an alien… not from this earth. that’s why he had to leave so soon
that was the dance style of the 60s
Without Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn wouldn't exist.
Jimi died way too early.There will be NOBODY like him.EVER!!!
It would be impossible for most guitarists to handle the decimals Jimi controlled with ease
well , if you dug that then check out jimi plays berkeley if you already have not checked it out ! it`s the bomb.
In a little more than three short years until his death, Jimi went from nothing to become the highest paid rock artist in the world. He remained the best selling black artist in the world - even after his death - until Micheal Jackson's Thriller album 12 years later. He should be as honoured in the black community as James Brown, Miles Davis and spoken about as being as revolutionary as the Black Panthers.
You should react to the song “Who Knows” on “A band of Gypsies “ Jimi was in that band .
The baddest electric cat of them all..
