Of course someone recorded it, you had to pay thousand and thousand of dollars to make Hendrix come to your festival. It’s not because people were leaving that the men in charge of recording the event had to stop and go home lol
Where he said something like 'That's what happens when you fly too close to the Sun' I believe. I'm watching a very good surprisingly good Time Life Richard Pryor collection (±15 DVDS of FROM Merv Griffin -'65! & Forward. At that one when he gets confused & has to apologize as it's supposed to be a great, post- Fire comeback special -& squares it the very next night. But it's not un-different to Jimi getting what he 'wanted'- to play a Landfill as people look through the pockets of other people's clothes in a swamp. Wow.
@@nylesfrench3568Which is probably the only reason any of us know what Woodstock was TBH. If it isn’t for the movie, I don’t think it has nearly the lasting cultural purchase that it does (except maybe as a legend in some subculture of die-hard boomer live-music fans, similar to the way really great Grateful Dead shows are catalogued and commented on).
No this is definitely one of his harder songs that was recorded at least.. the end of purple haze through villanova junction is sick and definitely difficult to play
Its funny how being a lead guitar player and singer leads people Jimi Hendrix or Matt Heafy (Ember to Inferno era) to play riffs that use both rhythm and lead elements. You can hear the blues influence, the classical influence, the jazz influence, and a slight soft rock influence in there too.
Speaking of Woodstock 69, no other man ever could make HUMAN screams and plane engines and gunfire LIVE with a GUITAR. That national anthem made him the undisputed G.O.A.T. for me
Practice your improve for 3 minutes every day just by simply combining your favorite sounds from your favorite sounds that sounds similar and then find how to connect them in your own way to use the chords to create and structure new arpeggios you'll grow every week if you do it 7 times a week for 30 minutes each time I've never thought I'd be able to but I grow substantially faster and faster now after 2 years because of the commitment
No, this is not the most difficult Hendrix piece. It’s improv, but part of something he’d already been doing for awhile, and then turned into the Hey Baby and Villanova Junction improvs, that this improv became. I like to see someone trying to play the Power of Soul riffs snd changes, or Message of Love, Earth Blues, Valleys of Neptune, Gypsy Eyes, My Friend( not Straight Ahead which is sometimes titled My Friend), Angel or Drifting, for the first time. Some seem easy, but the rhythm changes make it difficult, or just the odd chord voicings take a bit to get used to. All songs folks can play note for note, and I’ve learned myself, at one point or another, but I also learned the Woodstock improv, as a teen, and the only part I can’t do is the opening to the thumb going four frets back(if you’ve learned it, you know).
I do not like Polyphia much, and I think Tim Henson looks weird, but I admire his skill on the guitar. I try showing other people, but they never like it because they don't understand anything more complex than generic country singing and open chords.
It’s a great tune to challenge you as an intermediate and once you have hendrix down learn the Stevie ray version because it has a lot more style and dirtiness to it and you’ll be able to improvise and give it your own spin but definitely small chunks and lock them in before putting it all together
One of the best to inspire. Wasn't the best player of all time. If improvisation is what makes it then voice of soul takes the cake and eats it. The dude wrote it after getting diagnosed with incurable brain (might be wrong with type) cancer. He went home and plated it all in one sitting. It hauntingly beautiful recording.
Because of that one riff... I sometimes think if Hendrix had survived he would have been perfectly infusing funk and bluegrass by the time the eighties were rolling around. Such a shame he passed.
There’s a RUclips guitarist that goes by the name “Greg” and he has the best Hendrix covers. He covered this “song” (really an improvisational piece) to perfection.
@@baabaabaa2293Untrue! as Witnessed by Billy Cox and Jerry Velez( Congo Player) in an Interview Billy Cox Stated that Jimi was a Perfectionist ( especially when practicing) and during rehearsals for Woodstock in a Rented House nearby Jimi was Serious about No Drugs!

They NEVER Rehearsed The "Star Bangled Banner", it was unexpected and the ONLY person to play along was Mitch Mitchell!
No, hendrix wasn't on acid or any psychedelic at any show. If you've ever dropped acid, you'll know that all you can do is sit in a corner and laugh for 15 hours straight. Those kinds of drugs make even the slightest concentration impossible.
@@rebeccabailey527 Absolutely! and his Guitar would have appeared to be "MELTING" and Other Hallucinations. Also notice that he did The Complete Set without Intermissions or a "Bathroom Breaks!
Good one. There is part on jimi plays berkely 'i dont live today' jimi plays rhythm jazz chords quick! Fits perfect. I dont believe he played those chords on studio version. The 2nd album axis bold love is guitar bible, rythm n blues chops. But the recording had to be re-recorded in one day because the master was lost. If it hendrix desision he wouldve took time re record songs. It wasnt until late 80s i seen someone play castles made of sand, nobody played that stuff from axis. Thats when it hit me hendrix was very necessary guitar player. Seeing it played was a breath of fresh air, beautiful. Hendrix had taken rhythm blues chops ideas from many artist but hendrix took double stops up a notch. Fifty years later polyphia has added techniques thump ,flamenco to rhythm n blues adding to many genres. Taking guitar up another notch to the point most 80s shredders marty friedman, john petruccie cant play. Even though polyphia would absoluty shred anything paul gilbert can play. Steve vai is the only one who admits. Steve says to tim henson , i cannot do what you do on guitar. Tim could careless, tim was happy just comunicating and befriending steve".
Sure, Sonny! His Mgr got pushy & said if ww don't close, we don't go on. The BAND was written in as the Saturday night headliner & didn't play to garbage. So, whatever you want to believe -esp as you can do it, right?
He also played on a Sunday morning when everyone in the crowd was coming down off all the drugs and whatnot which probably made for an O'nry crowd. Not to mention he played the national anthem combined with the sounds of war. Jets and bombs and sh*t. The most wicked sounds I've ever heard come from that little white Strat.
Can someone verify if that whole thing was actually improvised? I’ve been listening to it for many years and am still so amazed that I almost doubt it was all improv. It’s unbelievable.
The fact that I mention this song to people old and ypung and they have no idea what I'm talking abput proves that only few on this planet have a blessed musical background like us. .People like us know what were are talking about, know where we are going and will have very blessed futures if we continue on the riotuous path. Keep you eyes open and ears focused.
I like this young man talking about Hendrix. I like this young mans playing and hunger for knowledge. This younf man, however how much i admire his desire for knowledge, needs to study more about Hendrix. Good Luck my friend.
Btw, check out -Frank Marino, Frank Zappa, Jeff Healey, Tony Springer(wild t.) , Pat Travers, Eric Johnson, Lindsey Buckingham, Miles Goodwin, Rick Emmet, Kim Mitchell, The Tragically Hip, Chris Cornell, Ian Thornley, Hawksley Workman, etc. Etc and even Noel Redding( Fat Mattress et. al.), Although im sure this fine man knows all the greats i havent named!!!
I hear things in there that non of the guys. who you said did play. Jimi did have a Django record. Some of it have some Spanish flavor. Django played this song called bolero something.
this is the first time i've ever been impressed by you playing guitar, well done.. it would've been perfect, but you had to throw in the fake "i'm feelin it" face at the end like you always do and fuck it all up
Nothing was challenging to Jimi, he played with feeling. Jimi barely looked at his neck of his guitar when he played. He just played. It was fun for him. He was like a child in his bedroom, playing a guitar for hours
So many live deep cuts that are so much more impressive imo this is just random funk improv and it’s not technically difficult at all just requires good time feel to pull it off
I dont think Hendrix actually came up with that, one day on public access tv, i seen an old black and white video of an old man playing exactly what Hendrix played as that improvisation, on a classic guitar, i think Hendrix seen that and learned..
Only reason we know of this song is because one man recorded the whole event and stayed until jimi was done
Of course someone recorded it, you had to pay thousand and thousand of dollars to make Hendrix come to your festival. It’s not because people were leaving that the men in charge of recording the event had to stop and go home lol

How did he improvise all of that on the spott, really one of the best musicians
I heard that jam and personally i thaught it was just stoned gibberish.
@@big.muscles.ohyeah Thank you, aforementioned SJW.
Also the acid and wine helped
Ain't really that hard when you've been playing since you were 13..
L.S.D.
One of my favorite pieces of music. Nice job by you.
The solo at the end of purple haze right before he goes into Woodstock improvisation always gives me goosebumps
Yes where he goes so high on the g string while keeping it resonating
This is like the 20th most hardest jimi henrix riff already
No this is definitely one of his harder songs that was recorded at least.. the end of purple haze through villanova junction is sick and definitely difficult to play

He had to play like that. The band was a 3 piece no rhythm guitar.
The ability to innovate is the mark of a professional musician
Spanish castle magic is tough too, some are hard for just 1 or 2 riffs but they are still killer challenging. Cool riff
Speaking of Woodstock 69, no other man ever could make HUMAN screams and plane engines and gunfire LIVE with a GUITAR. That national anthem made him the undisputed G.O.A.T. for me
Of all the riffs I have seen you play. This is the most like the music I make and seems relatively easy to me
That really is absolutely mental to improvise even by modern standards
Practice your improve for 3 minutes every day just by simply combining your favorite sounds from your favorite sounds that sounds similar and then find how to connect them in your own way to use the chords to create and structure new arpeggios you'll grow every week if you do it 7 times a week for 30 minutes each time I've never thought I'd be able to but I grow substantially faster and faster now after 2 years because of the commitment
U really help me appreciate the music
Thanks
May your guitar tone is killer bro I love that
this guy try not to talk about Hendrix challenge 99% impossible
Bro has mentioned Jimi Hendrix more than I have lost my guitar picks.
Found em bro..in & under the couch!!

Mike has done his hair like hendrix, he will now go through tanning injection to finally become hendrix.
Best freaking comment man💀💀💀😂😂😂
The Hendrixing is entering is final stages.
Looks more like Prince to me.
Nope hair is from his heritage...not like jimi
Thanks jreg, you really showed jimmy Hendrix who’s boss
So, Hendrix was doing Polyphia when Tim Henson's parents were like teenagers
😉👉
Not enough harmonics to be polyphia
I do not like Polyphia much, and I think Tim Henson looks weird, but I admire his skill on the guitar. I try showing other people, but they never like it because they don't understand anything more complex than generic country singing and open chords.
@@Trippsy05 what does Tims looks have to do with his musicianship here
Jimmy hands where to big to be able to do polyphia
I cant believe youre local and know Anthony..... lets JAM dude
I'm right now trying to learn Little Wing(First time ever playing/learning Hendrix music) and damn its hard
Once you have it down it sounds gorgeous! Definitely a must learn song
Break it down into chunks, focus on 100% feel and technique and ull have it in the bag bro
It’s a great tune to challenge you as an intermediate and once you have hendrix down learn the Stevie ray version because it has a lot more style and dirtiness to it and you’ll be able to improvise and give it your own spin but definitely small chunks and lock them in before putting it all together

WOW! I heard some Magic Band connotations there. Well done, man!
Love this
You learned it, he made it. Props on learning it pretty solid though brotha
Its easy to play Hendrixs stuff, some of it. Whats almost impossible is sounding just like him, as you demonstrated here.
I'm getting very serious rolling stone writer vibes from this dude
I love that website!
Oh he was just stretching tha fingers.You do that if ya got a cramp.Or take too much....
There’s even a little bit of the Isley’s sound in there (who Jimi played guitar for).
Dud you awesome with that riffs love your channel,and Because of Jimi Hendrix i play guitar and cover Jimi every time almost 20 years!!😅😂
Great one man
This is truly unbelievable. I just can’t believe this guy is talking about Jimihen, just unbelievable
He was technical but most importantly MUSICAL which is what touches people's hearts dearly
My favorite Jimmy was the Woodstock jams.
Yeah that was definitely a Adlib on the spot Riff By Hendrix 🎸🎼🎶🎶
Now that’s Brisk, baby!

I dig it ✌️😎👍
I find the intro to his live version of Killing Floor at Monterey to be very tricky to duplicate exactly like how he did it.
i believe he was either tripping on acid or some other psychedelic through this masterpiece/setlist
He was..Brian Jones (maybe) gave him 5 tabs & he dropped the lot!!
Carlos Santana too.. off his guts!!

How did you learn it? How can I?
I bet he played this all the time alone in his room.
Subtle I can play Jimmy's hardest riff brag
Bien carnal
*now play his rendition of fhe national Anthem*
Bro u look like white Jimi Hendrix
Who cares if it’s difficult for someone else to play just listen to his creativity and enjoy it’s not a sport it’s art 😂
should check out a couple riffs from Frank gambale.. guitar player in Chick corea elektric band. they'll keep you busy for the next 50 years
I tried to learn it, it’s fucking hard. If you mind, do a lesson about it please
quick tips, if you want learn the jimi hendrix playing style, try john frusciante's style. His playing just hendrix way but more easier
Until we found out Bob Dylan wrote and performed The Watchtower first. Great cover though
The Dark Souls effect where people think difficulty = good music.

def one of the most unique and difficult. considering you still couldn’t play it right and neither has anybody since.
