I remember seeing Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock 69 .He went on last on a Sunday afternoon and as crowded and as muddy as it was very few left he was absolutely the best guitarist EVER,in my opinion.🎸🎶Great reaction 💗 What memories .✌️🔥
@@futurereflections4097 He did actually flip it upside down and then he strung the strings in the proper orientation. You can't play barr chords with your thumb the way Jimi pioneered if the low E string wasn't at the top of the fretboard. It's impossible. The guitar strings are set up and tuned the way they are (for standard tuning) to be ergonomic for your hand to hold and play chords. There are different tunings which change the "ergonomics" if you will, but the vast majority of these tunings are very seldom used. But even with the different tunings, the strings do have to be in that order.
No one cooler. No one. Morbid, but totally inspiring fashion advice someone once gave me: "Dress every day like you're going to Jimi Hendrix's funeral." RIP
Jimi was in the Air Force and was injured so he sat in the barracks and practiced his guitar everyday till eventually he was discharged. Went on played for many bands toured in the 60’s and even played with Little Richard then decided to move to the UK and met some great promoters and musicians and became a Star from there
I'm glad black people recognizing the genius of this guy. He was an acid/psychadelic rocker back in the day - I saw him live, about 6 rows back from the stage, around 6 months before he died; I feel so blessed and thankful!!!!!!!
Anyone can play Hendrix songs, they are typically taught to beginners. The vast majority of guitar players can't even cover most SRV songs... No hate on Hendrix, there is a reason he is a legend.
Had all his albums at 14, (65 now), posters on my wall, 😁 but he had already gone to that great band in the sky 😢, so never saw him live, butt did see Stevie Ray Vaughan live 💙, he ended concert with Voodoo Child, totally did it justice, always felt it was a tribute to Jimi Hendrix...heaven has a helluva band.
Jimi was SRVs hero. He based his style on him. He went to Jimis father and asked if he could use Jimi’s wah wah pedal. He gave it to him and he used it years
His "Development,"AS A Artist Was A Quite Unique!! Partly Influenceedv,By The Crazy , But Free ,Time He Was In!! His Heavy ,Use O Psychedelic Drugs ,Both Enhanced/ Expanded, His Musical Horizons And How , He Played The Guitar 🎸🔊 I!! He Was 1/8 Irish And One-8th , Cherokee Indian ( His Mom) And His Experiments , With Feedback , Likely Came In The Beginning , Because He Was A Left- Handed ,BASS player, FOR The Isley Brothers, ETC... 🤪👋
Hendrix the innovator, listen to 1983(A Merman I Should Turn to Be) of Electric Ladyland... Not one of the most suggested tunes, but amazing nether the less
Notice that Hendrix is left handed and plays that Fender upside down. Amazing but logical. The stings are just flipped from top to bottom. He was the original and Stevie Ray just worshipped Jimi.
I have an interesting family connection with Jimi Hendrix. My mother helped boo him off the stage in Greensboro, NC. She was 16 at the time and she and a venue full of teenage girls waiting to see The Monkees. Jimi Hendrix was their opening act. There was a mini-documentary made recently about that night. I'm still trying to understand how someone thought it was a great idea to have those two musical acts tour together.
This is a heavily edited version of “Voodoo Child” from Woodstock, it’s actually 14 minutes long. If you get the DVD “Jimi Hendrix Live At Woodstock” it has his entire 2 hour performance, as well as a ton of extras.
There is no equal to Jimi! For different picking styles, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits (Sultans Of Swing you already reacted to) and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac (Try listening to "I'm So Afraid" and you will not be disappointed) use a banjo finger picking style. Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters will put you in another universe!
No one points out that Jimi is left handed playing a right hand guitar upside down. Pretty sure that's special. What do you think Shon. Jimi was FIRE. RIP
Watch Jimmy play live at Woodstock the Star spangled Banner at the tine he pissed the squares off but they should have been proud he seriously put his heart into it I have to say thats the best redition Ive ever seen so do your self a favor and watch it...AND FOR THE 100TH TIME DO YOURSELF A SOLID AND WATCH 2 AMAZING GUYS CALLED 2CELLIS PLAY AC/DC THUNDERSTRUCK AND G&R SWEET CHOLD OF MINE YOU WILL COME OUT A CHANGED MAN FROM THEIR PERFORMANCE AND AS USUAL YOU ROCK😍🤙
Jeff Beck is who I recommend if you're looking for one the best. Try "Full Moon Boogie (live)" with Jan Hammer to start. Jeff was hugely influenced by Jimi. Jeff Beck changed with the times as evident on every album release. "Live at Ronnie Scott's" is a great video showing his chops in an intimate setting with many guest artists. Robert Plant in attendance as well. Cheers Shon!
Hello shon! I would love to see your reaction to “Forbidden City” by Marty Friedman! It’s a songs with no vocals, various transitions and tempos changes. Marty is a very melodic guitarist! I think you will love it
With your new found love of guitar you should try a few instrumentals. Steve Vai's Tender Surrender, Jeff Beck's Cause We've Ended as Lovers or Joe Satriani's Satch Boogie would be a blast for you. Anything by any of them would be great.
No one sounds like Jimi Hendrix. He did not use a metronome. He had jazz sensibilities and did not routinely play on the beat. Sometimes ahead and sometimes behind made his sound more organic and thought up on the spot. He did not play any of his songs the same way twice. All Voodoo Child recordings are different. He was always innovating and moving the needle. That restless energy pours out of his guitar like a flamethrower.
The unedited video of this performance is actually twice as long, with some immaculate playing and good close ups of his fingers. Do yourself a favor and find the full length video, even if you aren't allowed to post it for us. That's still only scratching the surface of his mystically intuitive, creative, flowing works of musical art.
Not to take anything away from Jimi because he’s obviously amazing but, some pretty big time drummers have said it was Mitch Mitchell’s (drummer) band and Jimi was the guitarist and singer. Mitch was very underrated. I’m a 90’s Bulls fan so it’s kinda like Jordan and Pippen lol
Sorry, that is absolute *nonsense* mate. Yes, Mitch Mitchell was an excellent drummer; he wasn't an era-defining genius though. Hendrix was. He'd have been a superstar and a legend with or without Mitch. The reverse doesn't necessarily apply. And let's remember it wasn't only about the guitar playing - Hendrix wrote nearly all their songs, with a couple of negligible contributions from Noel Redding; he was the mastermind behind the expansive, experimental soundscapes on Electric Ladyland. And he was the singer too. Mitchell's band my arse!
@@crucialfyah Just because they are (respectively) a good and a great drummer and I'm not doesn't mean I, or anyone else, have to agree with them does it? I think the notion that Hendrix was just the guitarist (and singer/songwriter/frontman/visionary) in Mitch Mitchell's band is utterly preposterous, and a crank view that is probably shared by very few people apart from a few members of the drummers union.
shon.. I would love to see you react to Eddie Van Halen's 'eruption' guitar solo video.... it will blow your mind the skill and the mastery of the guitar.
The best - until Stevie Ray Vaughan came along. But had it not been for Hendrix, there would be no Stevie Ray. I always considered Hendrix to be the best. And still to this day, it's still hard for me to say Stevie Ray Vaughan is best. But, I believe Stevie Ray eclipses Hendrix. By a smidgen.
Stevie's great . . . and Jimi's the King. BTW: he plays a regular guitar, strung the regular way...but he's left handed. That means it's all upside down and backward to the rest of us.

You can't go wrong with any Jimi Hendrix. Literally anything he did is gold. He changed music forever.
Yes, Jimi was in another league, a league of his own.
He blew all the guitarist in Britain away when he arrived there😮
I am 73 and have loved Jimi since I was 15..it's great to see you react for the first time! It brings back that feeling!
I remember seeing Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock 69 .He went on last on a Sunday afternoon and as crowded and as muddy as it was very few left he was absolutely the best guitarist EVER,in my opinion.🎸🎶Great reaction 💗 What memories .✌️🔥
I remember reading somewhere that Jimi was left-handed and restrung right-handed guitars so he could play them left-handed.
I don’t think he restrung them, he just played them upside down

If Jimi isn't your favorite guitarist than Jimi is your favorite guitarists favorite guitarist. Love and respect, brother, hog fam Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
I was one of the lucky ones to see him in person April 1969 in Philly.
Jimi was left handed. He played a right handed guitars upside down. A pure once in a lifetime musical genius.
Jimi had the best threads in rock
Jimi was a paratrooper in the US army. And broke an ankle on a jump.
Much respect Mr. Jimi.
So the PR story goes. He was a lousy soldier and hated the army and did everything to get out.
He despised the millitary. And the few respect he did have for the higher ups was demolished by Vietnam.
@@hesch-tagfact
@@predeterminedmeat5024and fact
Jimi's impact can't be overstated. like the Beatles. world changing artists.
Been playing the Guitar for over 30 years...This BROTHER INSPIRED US ALL!!!
No one cooler. No one. Morbid, but totally inspiring fashion advice someone once gave me: "Dress every day like you're going to Jimi Hendrix's funeral." RIP
Jimi was and still is THE BEST!
Yep, absolutely 👍😁💪

Personal opinion, Jimi is greatest guitarist PERIOD. He was so humble, didn't let compliments stunt his growth & keep him from bending all the rules❤
Prince has entered the chat with David Gilmore.
@@brelandgribben4054 both are AMAZING! Prince ❤️
SRV CLOSE SECOND 🤨
Anyone can play Hendrix songs, they are typically taught to beginners. The vast majority of guitar players can't even cover most SRV songs... No hate on Hendrix, there is a reason he is a legend.
I mean...Jimmy Paige is at least in the neighborhood.
I'm 59. Had over 30 Hendrix vinals bootlegs and what not. Greatest of all time.
Had all his albums at 14, (65 now), posters on my wall, 😁 but he had already gone to that great band in the sky 😢, so never saw him live, butt did see Stevie Ray Vaughan live 💙, he ended concert with Voodoo Child, totally did it justice, always felt it was a tribute to Jimi Hendrix...heaven has a helluva band.
Don’t sleep on the rest of the band. Jimi always surrounded himself with legit musicians.
I was listening to this the first time I ever tripped! What a blast 💥 💙👵🏼✌🏼
Gawd, that man had style! 🌟
you have to drop acid. no other way to truly experience hendrix. same for me back when i saw him in concert in toronto in nineteen sixty nine.
Jimi was SRVs hero. He based his style on him. He went to Jimis father and asked if he could use Jimi’s wah wah pedal. He gave it to him and he used it years
SRV based his style on more guitarists than simply Jimi. His brother and Albert King foremost.
Call Jimi The Originator/ Innovator !! Electric Guitar 🎸 Wise!! But, Criminally Underated For Hiz Lyrical And Vocal Abilities!! 🤏😎🎸🔊🎶
F'N LEGEND. 💪🎸
He is playing a right handed guitar left handed. Incredidible
Jimi was so incredibly talented and innovative and showed so much creativity....forever a legend :)
Check Jimi's Machine Gun - greatest guitar solo of all-time (full version)
I remember i bought this concert on VHS and the next day i bought a Strat and a mini Marshall amp.

Classic Hendrix! My favourite of his is Cross town traffic. Check out the greatest ever guitarist Paco de Lucia!
You are listening to a Edited version of this performance!! NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODY PLAYED LIKE JIMI !! SRV IS A CLOSE SECOND FOR ME !! 😢😢😍😍🎸🎸🔥🔥🐐🐐
Jimi was before my time and there is no one who could convince me he wasn't gods touched. I will never not love me some Jimi.
Greatest.........✌️💯🔥🎸
Heart and soul we lost one of a kind and we lost it too. Soon there he goes the man.

The best , genius now douth 😂❤
The guitar work in this video is so clean and amazing✨
Have you ever reacted to

There are innovators and there are imitators.

♥ Jimi!
One of my older brothers saw him live, and said it was unbelievable.
Not one reactor catches Jimi playing with his teeth at the end !
Love Jimmy iv listed since I started to play guitar but I do believe there are a few who could claim to be the greatest
Jimi outdone them with the upside down guitar,ciz he was left handed🎉
Chills every time!!!
Listen to 'All along the Watchtower'!!!
There is no equal to Jimi! For different picking styles, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits (Sultans Of Swing you already reacted to) and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac (Try listening to "I'm So Afraid" and you will not be disappointed) use a banjo finger picking style.

Would have loved to have.seen page and Hendrix together what a FUCKING show that would have been.😊😮
He's tripping on some Owsley acid during this performance.
That's a banger right there 🔥
Like the locks, now you can become a "PART TIME/ CLANDESTINE HEADBANGER!" 😅😂
Baddest electric cat of them all..
No one points out that Jimi is left handed playing a right hand guitar upside down. Pretty sure that's special. What do you think Shon. Jimi was FIRE. RIP
Mark Knopfler is actualy also left handed, he just plays on a right handed guitar switching his hands
Yes he played it upside down, but he restrung it to accommodate him being left handed.
you know how he did it? Practice, practice and more practice - hard work! Brilliantly talented , but also hard work - dedication.
Watch Jimmy play live at Woodstock the Star spangled Banner at the tine he pissed the squares off but they should have been proud he seriously put his heart into it I have to say thats the best redition Ive ever seen so do your self a favor and watch it...AND FOR THE 100TH TIME DO YOURSELF A SOLID AND WATCH 2 AMAZING GUYS CALLED 2CELLIS PLAY AC/DC THUNDERSTRUCK AND G&R SWEET CHOLD OF MINE YOU WILL COME OUT A CHANGED MAN FROM THEIR PERFORMANCE AND AS USUAL YOU ROCK😍🤙

This song has been heavily edited, the full length of this song is on the DVD, should go check it out, even the whole concert is actually shit hot
Great guitarist!! Definitely depends on the song if you decde to use a pick!
I absolutely love Jimi! But you have got to check out Eddie Van Halen's guitar solos he was also one of the greats.
Mmmmmm follow up star spangled banner 🎉

Please do Teskey Brother's Rain. Colors version. Australian group.
Oops meant 2Cellos🙃
Bron. Bear in mind this was a right handed guitar played upside down !!!!!

Jimi was left handed... so he played his guitar backwards
Mmmmmm follow up star spangled banner
Try rory Gallagher
Gary Moore
Steve vai
All great too in my opinion
Stevie Ray was 16 when Hendrix died, but you can hear Hendrix in Stevie's sound and style... He was infuemced by Hendrix big time
