    Back in the 70s , "Band of Gypsies" was a record I listened to hundreds of times.
    It is an absolute masterpiece of blues / rock improvisational soloing and rhythm.
    In this new RUclips video I break down the chain of six blues licks that begin the song Power to Love.

    He said what followed the intro was 60 plus seconds of the most explosive and intense guitar playing he has ever heard. This man knows music and musicianship and for him to say that is a testament in regards to how good Hendrix was with a guitar. He was not alone as all the musical greats during the time of Hendrix said the same thing in different ways. Hendrix was a cut or should I say several cuts above of his contemporaries. Even today he is still considered as the best guitarist ever. That’s one hell of a compliment.

      I would not say Hendrix was good, that term is reserved for beings from planet earth. He was from a different solar system.

    Finally !!! A comment on this song which has been engraved on my mind for 45 years, just like the important originals from JH, Love or Confusion, Stone Free, Up from the Skies, and third stone from the sun ... I am of course also a guitarist. Only guitar players can react to the incredible stuff produces by the Master !!!

      By the way when I was a kid that first note where Hendrix hits the wah we called ‘the note from God’! Still gives me chills to this day!!

    • @Finnvbot

      There's nothing like bending a note while opening up the wah and a strat tuned down to E flat.

    If you have a vinyl copy of Band Of Gypsy's in good condition and a system with
    turntable, put it on. Turn it up. Loud. It sounds like they are in the room with you.
    The recording of this album is one of the best I have ever heard. Clean and very
    present, just outstanding. Jimi at his best, pure playing with no stage antics.
    I agree with you, Tim. A really, really important album. Part of the magic is the
    rhythm section of Billy Cox & Buddy Miles. It was the black r&b feel Hendrix was
    searching for and the grooves just allowed him to play without worrying about
    anything else. Groove, the most important aspect of any ensemble playing.

    Tim, BOG is my favorite live Hendrix of them all. The whole album (CD) is intense especially this song, I still after all these years get goosebumps listening to it. I have the original copy of the LP I bought along with several others and a CD to listen to in my car - the whole album is magic and captures JH at his best live. If anyone asks me about Hendrix BOG is my first go to
    Thanks for all you do, never thought I might be able to play at least a small part of this song but now I can give it a go!

  • @chris33513

    This track is below the radar when Hendrix is celebrated. For me it sums up the essence of Jimi . It’s wild and beautiful - The Band of Gypsys album is the best . The Who Knows track , for me, is supreme . The Power to Love intro , featured here is outrageously brilliant 😀 You need good speakers , kind neighbours and a turned up bass volume .

  • @cali3168
    @cali3168 6 лет назад

  • @benzel5659
    @benzel5659 5 лет назад +4

    You're goddamn right it's the most explosive guitarplaying! I could hear Buddy's "Whaaa!!" as if he stood next to me when you meantioned that. Fantastic musicianship. Btw, I would love videos of you talking about the structure and "theory" of these tracks. Especially this one, as I consider it to be one of the most unique tracks, even in Jimi's vast collection of masterpieces.

    I think Band of Gypsies and Cry of Love were probably the best Jimi's albums and Red House from Hendrix in the West

    I remember glossing over Power of Love, ( not a guitar player but have own many guitars), pretty much ignoring side 2 of Band of Gypsys back in '72 & maybe 2 years later i was in a energetic patient 'zone'and revisited this jam....and i wanted it to go on forever.forgive me there was nothing i contribute back to you on a technical side.thnx i was totally engaged with what you share.

    Another way to look at that C7 chord is as a tritone substitution for the V7 chord. BTW, it's a lot easier to grab it with your thumb over the neck playing the 6th string a la Jimi. Thanks, Tim Pierce. You're awesome.

    @charlespeterson3798 6 лет назад +3

    I remember buying this album when it came out and the reception seemed muted by the public generally and crckets in particular, choosing to focus on the vibe between Miles and Hendrix. Guitarists that I knew thought it was the most influential album of their lives. Go finger.

    Tim, was looking over your discography on All Music and thought you’d probably be a great guy to just talk records with. I think I here a coloration especially on old records that is part of what makes them special and lasting. Of course you cover more genres that I like, but I’d like you to do a show on essential recordings for hospitality, for example I have a little Beatles, country and pop just for guests to add to my prog-head collection when we have people over - but I’d like it to be great pop, like Rumors. I bet you know some jewels.

    That was sort of Jimi's intro. the Power of Jimi 's Intro to this song....dayumm...its his power,his energy coming thru,it isnt just the notes' he's playing,its anger,its possibilites, its frustration its lightening coming thru, its one of THEE baddest ass intro to any song I've ever heard and the WAY he does it. I Love Frank Zappa,to Return to FOREVER,to Joni Mitchell,Stone Temple Pilots,Pearl jam,creed,ect mother's finest, Carlos Santana..,ect..... I've heard and seen tons of bad ass MthFker's Man....
    Its Jimi's energy that took this song to "another place', he was definitely EXPERIENCED!! I could write a book, here,about it...suffice to say... Sing on Brother,Play on Drummer....

    The 'Crash Landing' version is pretty cool. I love this song, never gets boring. Typo in the title...there is no Jimi song called Power to Love...There is ""Power of Soul" aka "With the Power" and "Message to Love" which is another killer tune. :) :)

    great video...as usual. By the way, they have released the first show...It's called Machine Gun: the Fillmore East First Show. It's exceptional, miles beyond many of the estate releases. It actually might be a little better that the original Band Of Gypsys!
