People hate on him too much for taking inspiration from Jimi Hendrix. He seems like a great guy
I think the guy looks great but if you take inspiration from hendrix get the playing up to scratch brother
Taking inspiration is one thing, copying is another.
@@CloverTheBunnyABDLwell he’s not black is he
@@CloverTheBunnyABDL If you're inspired you may want to learn. And if you want to learn you may need a blueprint. And if you have a blueprint you may want to follow or copy it, until you can build your own. From this video, this guy seems to mix a lot of the old with the new. Good for him.
@maximusindicusoblivious180 My style is built my on living the Blues. I don't copy anyone. My style is different, that I have to use my ear when I play and no rely on someone else style.
Love Sam. He’s an insane player and such a sweet dude
100% 🎸🚀
Sam really is thé nicest guy. Went to visit sixty sixty a couple of times over the years and he always let's me play Sunny. Played his Marshall stack this summer and his Uni-Vibe. such a cool guy. Always have a blast nerding out about Hendrix stuff with him ✌🏻
The world needs more big rigs
i met Sam in store. He was such a lovely bloke, he asked my name and shook my hand. I only wanted to say hello and thank you for teaching us how to play! Humble gent!
I love that he started his reg-rundown with the guitar. A true player.
everyone starts with the guitar(s)
Cool video. I went to London back in August this year and met Sam at the shop. He’s such a cool dude. 🎸👍
When he played the Univibe it gave me chills!! Beautiful.
Sounds beautiful 🔮❤️
It's insane to think I've been in this shop, Sam is such a cool person, really glad to see him in your videos! And what a cool rig😎
That’s awesome that you’ve been there mate! Certainly an incredible shop and Sam is a legend. Thanks for the nice comment!
he's really a great player and such a nice guy, it's a shame that people on shorts hate this man for some reason. just because he's tribute musician or jimi hendrix imitator doesn't mean he sucks or something. like he only plays jimi hendrix things and what's your problem?
It's beyond being a "tribute" to Jimi... this guy is full-on trying be the second coming of Hendrix...he dresses like a Prince/Steven Tyler love child and plays a flipped lefty strat...
@@datass666but he plays well, who cares 😂
I think that it's beyond what this guy is doing. It appears that people in the U.K. still appreciate art and see it as beauty. Many in the U.K. embraced Jimi at the time and saw him as beautiful. Not so much in America. It may be a so-called Ugly American thing, I don't know what's in people's heart. This is coming from a Beautiful American.
Love his setup Fender Stratocaster and a Marshall stack, he's a really cool dude and can play awesome.
Thanks for sharing Chris. Sam is the best, great dude & killer player. Been following Sam & SixtySixtySounds for a few years now - The shop is the shiz too!
You are very welcome mate. That’s awesome, fantastic guys indeed 🎸
Yeah, haters! People love Hendrix, whether they know it or not. Did you see all the onlookers through the window as he was jamming? Seriously.
I love these we NEED more please☮️💜
Stay tuned 🔥🚀❤️
It's a nice sounding guitar, hard to deny that.
"The greatest thing you can do for a guitar is play them." Truth.
Beautiful man he is. All the success to you mate.
love all the gear and stories behind it! the passion is there with this one :)
The tone is soooooo good man
Band of Gypsys tone is killer JIMI was wrangling a monsterous sound and playing so tight..
never heard of him..now I have, great player...thanks!
love the passion and detail .
🚀🎸❤️
Hey Sam,great video!!
All the best for you bro!! ,and keep the music alive!!💯👍
Went to Uni with Sam, lovely bloke. Great player 👍
Thanks Sam, I’m now pissing myself laughing at the ironic thought of a long haired man with a peace symbol necklace, bringing a bomb though airport security!
Such a cool and calm vibe.. nice video!
You just can't go wrong playing through a cranked stack.
oh you can
It's a good idea to leave the top cabinet unplugged.for hearing damage.
Met Sam in Sixtysixty before. He was a top bloke!
Always great to see Sam thriving!
Excellent video, watched all his insta stuf great fo hear Sams story.
Never gonna down on anyone drawing influence from Hendrix to any degree..started playing 40ys ago because of Hendrix..such a blessing to have genius song material to study learn..and PLAY..
I got to play a red 63 Strat at Sixty Sixty Sounds last year. unplugged and very quiet like sitting on their couch...pretty cool
That’s super cool 🎸
Whenever Im in London and in Covent Garden I stop by there@@PedalPawn
A great attitude, great vibe too✌️💜
I made one from a Squier! Love it! Fun to play!
Right ...
I would like to hear how you did it. Did you change the block, saddles, nut, tunings, pots as well as the pickups? How much money did you put into it?
Every guitarist takes inspiration from hendrix... he literally cosidered the greatest guitarist of all time..
Incredible Sound!
I use my univibe just for the preamp and run it with the vibe on zero. Although I do like the effect, I rarely use it for anything I play. The boost/preamp was a bonus surprise and I use it for leads/fills or just to brighten everything up.
God that shop always looks so amazing! Would love to go! But I’d not be able to play as good as Sam!
Best thing to do for a Guitar is play it!👏this guy is the real McCoy a Gem💎indeed!🤘☮🌻🎩
Seems like a cool dude. Great playing
Great interview. This guy is super cool!
Yes Sir🔥🔥
Groovy man✌️
This cat has quite the rig! I almost bought a hendrix signature strat, but couldn't get past the knobs being on top..really messed with the muting on the bridge for me. Ended up buying an American Standard. Years later I kinda wished I would have bought that one 😂
that fire extinguisher tops it off 😊😊
We need more players like jimi whoops i mean sam
Killer set up 👍
Great playing , what type of picks/ strings are you using ?
Ah man i’ve been wondering if Sam had ever tried any pedal pawn stuff, I know this video was about his personal rig but one with him trying out your pedals would be cool, I’m sure that’s already in works to be fair haha cheers Chris ✌️
Thanks a lot for the question! Sam has used our Fuzz in the past on a bass clip, that video idea sounds great ha ha 😝🚀❤️
Awesome! I've always wanted to flip a lefty Strat and play it Jimi-style. I'd go with a white one. I watched Jimi live at Woodstock so many times back in high school, I wore out the tape.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend ❤😊
Thanks so much, you too mate
Sam is The Man! His IG stuff is fantastic. Did you get to have a go with his rig?
He sure is! I did, but not on this exact set up because it was too loud for my brain to handle 🤣
Incredible
Dig the hat and the handcuff bracelet. No longer selling those on Sixty Sixty website??
Sounds sick keep me playing both of you
Thanks so much for watching mate 🚀🎸
Damn i hate rhat you have an authentic univibe. Only modulation fx i really want 😅😅. Sounds killer through that setup!
We had a rock star larper on every corner in the 90s.
Yeah Sam! Love Sixty Sixty Sounds too!
He’s so awesome mate, and so are you!! 🚀🎸
Where did you get your boots man? I've been looking for some suede ones like that for awhile.
Great video. Hey Chris and Sam! I too am looking for an original Uni-Vibe at a reasonable price (lol). The preamp is 95% of Jimi's tone. The trouble is, there are good vintage ones and not-so-good vintage ones so you have to play it before you buy it.
Thank you very much mate! 😍 you are right about the hit and miss nature indeed 🚀🟥⬜️
So cool. THough I thought Hendrix used the pre rola greenback speakers in his Marshall?
Surprised to see this mentioned anywhere on the internet besides the forums still alive, helping with common knowledge. He used whatever was available at the time it was bought. The pictures will show when he acquired new rigs over the years. The g12H 25 watt speaker was first used in the pinstripe stacks seen in the early videos. He transitioned into the basket weave cabs in late 1968, that probably started him using the newly invented g12H (30w) version for power handling.
The pre-rola sticker doesn’t matter to anything having to do with the tone, only the specific models that had different (wattage) power handling. Also, there was a different white voice coil used in all of the speakers before the end of 1967. It’s the least of worries in all of the tone. More detailed and delicate coil that would burn up or melt each speaker soaking in power on stage for hours. They changed to higher wattages in their model lines and the voice coil was “upgraded” to avoid melting, though slightly changed the tone consequently. This is how it all made sense for me in tone chasing when finding out the reasons behind why the way the tone was.
The material the cone is made of is the secret to the speaker, since it’s now illegal to use the same chemicals in the formula, that were supposedly lost after a random 1973 factory burn down. Re-issues don’t have it to spec and it’s just been marketing. Just as the vacuum tubes, transformers and pickups windings. Everything sounds muddy nowadays, you may notice. The speaker contributes the most along with the characteristics of the amp paired with them. Honestly, he just has a full on common reissue type of rig going on. I just couldn’t even when I got tired of all those speakers within a year, from sadly trying to buy and resell out of high school. Forex took care of that no college dilemma. People talk and don’t listen with their ears enough or we’re crazy for hearing the difference still
You quoted me 3 grand for one of those the other day. Can i come and play Sunny before i decide? It's a fair bit of dough that is. Very cool.
Talk about Clapton too😱❤️
I 'd liken this setup to a good cover band. There's an upper ceiling to how much appreciation I can have for this type of thing when in reality its just an imitation of something that's been done before. Admittedly a good imitation but an imitation none the less.
Hey,
Would love to know what cable from Australia he is using. Pls help
he is a right handed player playing a left handed guitar. Wow! he must try real hard to LOOK the Part! wow! thats impressive!
What if you lived in a world where the opposite was true and there were more left handed guitars available then right handed ones. Left handed player's do all kinds shit just to play guitar, play them upside down, play them with strings reversed, play them with teachers telling them to change to play right handed. Left handed guitars became available maybe before Jimi's time, but he was probably hard pressed to find one in his early days of playing and flipped it upside down. And the rest is history.
I dig the guitar right on
This guy's awesome. Stop the hating. Love the tone by the way
Amazing
That's a lovely guitar. The whole vibe says Woodstock. Sam could do with a time machine to jam with The Who, Jimmy, Mountain, Carlos and Ten Years After at those legendary 3 days in Bethel NY.
Does pedal pawn make a fuzz that's this good? If so which one?
No entiendo porque lo critican, el tipo toca a Hendrix como ningun otro. Ya quisiera uno tocar como el.
EXCELLENT.
Thanks so much for watching!
How do you play a strat and not use position 4? The most iconic and unmistakably strat tones were created with the pickup selector in position 4, even if it meant using the in between position on a 3 way switch that first gave birth to it. And as a bonus, by using position 4 you're essentially combining two single coils to work like a humbucker, greatly reducing the 60Hz hum that single coils are so susceptible to picking up you'd think that was their primary design goal, making it possible to play at higher gain settings without driving yourself and everyone within earshot crazy. So kids, don't let statements like this deter you from thoroughly exploring position 4 on stratocasters or anything based on the strat design, because it's arguably the best pickup setting for extracting that typical strat sound. I have an Ibanez "superstrat" type guitar that does a fairly convincing job of sounding like a proper strat in position 4. Don't be a position 4 denier! ;😉
Which posittion is four?
@@vegaplus420 It's between the neck pickup position and the middle one and selects both the neck and middle pickup.
My brother those emojis are dire
@@theminer49er5 Your mother's unaware by whom you're sired.
(I' m just screwing around, going with the flow you inspired.
I intend no offense.
Please cancel the hitman you might have hired.) ;)
Hendrix had his strats disconnected from the tone pots by Roger Mayer , but obviously you already knew that titbit 👍
Thank the stylist
Somebody needs to make "The Bomb Fuzz"..
🤣
Let's discuss you moving on to newer ventures in your life. Possibly a real job...not trying to scam people. 😂
cool
I need a link for those vintage coil plugs please
Like triggers broom that strat 😂
😂😂🔥
Nigel from spinal tap
The riff he plays at 2:00 What song is that. Or is it improv
You should visit Julijan Eric
He’s AMAZING 🚀❤️
Even Billy Cox invited him to play with him:)@@PedalPawn
It’s ok to use stuff just because it looks cool. That’s the reason I use coiled cables as well.
Ha ha, totally!
Tommy Bolin???? Anyone??? This gentleman should play with Glenn Hughes,just saying.👏🎸👍✌️🥃🍺🍻
This Sam dude is straight out of central casting.
I think he's tapped into something that this generation is thirsty for. If you follow good vibes, quite often good vibes will follow you. Jimi and Carlos understood this, it's a universal brother thang, a lot of people will just not get it.
@@maximusindicusoblivious180 Still his look is hilarious.
I always wondered why I've seen Jimi Hendrix counting the frets before starting a song. The dots are on the bottom daaaah😂
I fell him about not needing the 100w but wanting it!
It might be wise not to plug in the top cabinet. You can inadvertently damage your hearing in a practice room.
@@markr.devereux3385 I don’t stack my cabs. That too much work just put them side-by-side. I’m not playing no sold out stadiums no time soon anyway. lol
@nimitz1739 I hear you. I like to play on 30w practice amps with a selection of pedals. A Marshall stack can be heard a mile away. I wonder what it feels like to be in jimis shoes playing a 3000w system in an arena bending and twisting the notes like he often did. Or the WOODSTOCK rendition of the star spangled banner. Why feedback tricks were suddenly popularized by the electrified musicians is fascinating. It grew out of the psychedelic scene thev AGE OF AQUARIUS the vibrations that most of us thrived on and the ones thevestsblishment hated and renounced. That was a gap I never tried to bridge f the older generation. They were poison.
@@markr.devereux3385 that’s whats cool about the Jubilee. It’s a 100 W head, but it has that 3rd switched beside the standby where you can put it down to a 50 W for more of a practice amp. The only Marshall head that offers that.
@nimitz1739 people forget the role of tbe Celestion 12 " speakers. Even other brands of use the 4×12 Celestion in their cabinets.
looks like pauly shore
❤
OUR GUITARIST ONLY USES THOSE CONVERTED STARTS............OUR NEW ALBUM WAS RECORDED WITH ONE
IN-FECKING-CREDIBLE gear. IDK, but the open E (6th) booms were a little too boomy/loud. It just over-powered the other strings output when he was playing the double/stops of the 12th and 14th fret. Maybe lower the bass side of the pickups just a teeny bit? Or it could of been the room or the recording. But that's okay. Being able to get that Strat boom on the open E and on neck pickup . Whether distorted or clean, that's what made me want to switch to Strats. I have a Strat copy-clone that I Hendrix-ed out. I have all the correct parts, except the neck. I can't quite get that tone. I think it has to do with the neck and how it determines the string length. I have a little 12 watt tube amp I re-housed with a DIY overdrive built into the top of the amp above the amps front panel. It is kind of cloned from a Marshall preamp. Circuit is like Runoffgroove Thor except no tone controls and with a Burr-Brown OPA134pa chip in it. Has dedicated 18 volt regulated filtered power supply-lotsa headroom. Now I want to listen to Jimi! (Hear My Train-Rainbow Bridge?)
Something interesting about that is that Hendrix, along with lots of other dudes from that era used an odd (by modern standards) set of string gauges, .38 low E and some other differences from a regular set of 10s, as well as being nickel wound. They sound slinkier and funkier, and according to Roger Mayer they have a more balanced output if you do the math on the relative output of each string. They were Fender Rocknroll brand back in the day, nowadays Pyramid makes a great set replicating them, been using them for years
Thought he was going to say "these go to 11"
A young guy that looks like a young guy and not like a loser is almost revolutionary
Huh?
@@datass666 fact
I like him.
🚀❤️🎸
Did hendrix used to wrap the low E diferently?
I think it was opposite of the other strings.
Even SRV tinkered with left hand guitars and bridges. You dont know till you do at least 10 gigs otherwise you get placebo affects. Gig 1, wow yeah. Gig 10, actually this is no difference to my normal set up guitar. Great vid that made me think hence my long comment
As a lefty handed guitar player this makes me so offended. 🤣
17:49 what song is this?
Hard to find but I like 6000 frets, bigger the better.
excuse me Sam who?
Do you have any Bob Marley or Carlos Santana wannabees in London you can feature?
