he jimi :) my girlfriend buyed me a CD from you for my 18th birtday:) hope you still have some hope in the teens music taste/influence ! Have fun jamming with god:D
I find everything exceptionnal in Jimi Hendrix, both as a musician and human being. As to his musical qualities, to me he's really absolutely everything one can possibly imagine and much, much, much more even...Discussing playing skills seems to me a sheer joke, but also all the rest, frankly. Who playd like Jimi, who plays like him? Absolutely NO ONE...
Blackdude57 is trolling and people are actually responding to this guy hahaha anyways great song and yeah it sucks theres a mcdonalds and a technical college right next to the graveyard where jimis buried at but fuck it he's dead what the fuck does he care
Hendrix had a message. Heard a story about him. Set up on a corner down in Watts - the rough section - and his own people threw stuff at him. Jimi had to go to England to get going - they were advancing faster than the states - in a New Rock n Roll - Jimi didn't like the war in Viet Nam - and was about Peace - a lot of that was misunderstood - plus he was Black - many people were still stuck on stupid. He always viewed himself as a messenger. "All Along the Watchtower" - a Masterpiece.
@mojojager Yeah, while Jimi was an influence of Trowers', I never thought he tried to "copy" Jimi like some think...he simply incorporated his influences into developing his own unique style just like every other guitarist who had Jimi as an influence!
This particular track shows Jimi repeating his playing a little too much for me...I can't think of a single instance where Trower repeats his playing more than 2 or 3 times! Yet, from "some" I hear Trower repeats a lot?
@pike9346 Utmost respect due Trower. He devoted himself to playing black music when exposed to JMH and he is is a great improvisor on the hard funk genre that JMH created. He stays away from Hendrix compositions and draws on the spirit, technique, and soul of the his musical father. JMH is sometimes repeating himself in his extended studio jams, which he does in order to really lock in on the rhythms, riffs, tones, techniques, vocals, and sentencing. From that he distills the best tracks.
@DavidEye01 larry lee on guitar sometimes jimi lays back and let larry lee play maybe this is one of em in beginnings at woodstock its larry lee playing the solos not jimi
@DavidEye01 larry lee on guitar sometimes jimi lays back and let larry lee play maybe this is one of em in beginnings at woodstock its larry lee playing the solos not jimi larry lee sounds almost identical in style as Jimi check out Jam back at the hous from woodstock
@borchabronx he could be on war heroes and crash landing original tracks and to hear him good go check out jam back at the house from woodstock if you see jimi nod to the right to someone ( i think he had a cigarette) on then its larry lee playing the solos and jimi plays rhythm
@borchabronx larry lee solo on jam back at the house is before 5.10 woodstock you hear jimi starting machine gun but you could not devide larry lee,s style from jimi,s they use identical phasing equipment jimi hendrix solos are distintive however but there are many people in here juma sultan playing the cowbell and maybe jerry velez on congas that was the gypsys suns and rainbow setup and mostly they rehearsed at the shokan house

man sum of u guys mentioning guitarist no one has heard before and comparing them to hendrix. Others may be technically better but they don't embody the essence of rock n roll.
@moondog50002000 part of this shit was made into an album using jimi,s voice over some shitty bunch of musicians crash landing you can hear juma sultan playing a cowbell in the background Juma is the black guy on woodstock
what is this people talking rubbish like he wasnt the most talented or comparing him to to realy crappy guitarists. come on dont make me laugh. he was most talented and had extraordinary technique, its different if you like other types (read: crappy) of music or stiles. there are players who can stand beside him but not these amateurs mentioned here, Jimi was greatest and theres no arguing about it. there are few jazz and flamenco guitarists who can stand beside him and thats that.
@zeppelinchild3 50 years later it's easy to look back and make comparisons. Most of the "stars" now ie. Slash etc. weren't even born. Listen to his blues records from '63- to formation of Experience. It equals Stevie Ray etc. years ahead and there were no electric effects. I think the Experience work speaks for itself among groups of that period performing at that top level. The Experience were always the headline group at big festivals like Woodstock.
There are alot of guitarists that are technically better e.g. Alex Skolnick, Marty Friedman, Chuck Schuldiner, but I still think he is the best guitarist. Such creativity.
@Hughesy16LFC ITS NOT ABOUT TECHNICAL ITS ABOUT GOING PLACES YEAH TO MARS OR JUPITER AND REALLY FEELING IT TOO SPEED LICKS AND FINGER STRETCHES DONT MAKE YOU A GOOD INTERPRETER WHAT JIMI DID WAS DEFINE ELECTRIC GUITAR PLAYING FOR EVER CHECK OUT THE SONG BEBOP A LOOLA AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN THAT WAS ALL THERE WAS BEFORE HENDRIX
@blackdude57 If you read my comment you will understand that I said there are better guitarists technically, but Hendrix is still the best. There are a lot of fast/technical players who can still play with feeling though. Such as the examples i gave. Jason Becker too.
@Hughesy16LFC Hendrix = Brilliant innovator, perhaps most brilliant. Playing skills and musical knowledge? Subpar compared to any competent jazz player for sure. That isn't a slam on Hendrix, he was incredible but his lack of skills - the one thing that worked for him and his innovation - eventually started restricting him. Musically he was struggling at the end of his life because he had no where to go based on what he knew. this is why Miles Davis was started to figure large in his life.
@talkingwall Funny you should mention Miles Davis, 'cause he instructed Mike Stern (and others!) when playing with him to play like Hendrix! I'd also like to add that I'm a musician that lives in New Orleans, and know many far more than competent jazz guitarists, and not a single one of them has or would say that Hendrix's playing skills were inferior to theirs! Musical (harmonic) knowledge maybe, but not playing skills! Anyway, knowing how to play nice blues IS VERY IMPORTANT MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE!
@blackdude57 BLAA BLAA SUPPER FANZ ARE PREACHING again with sally gone nickels. Silly sausage get over here with your rosy biscuts... ahh refreshing biscuts..mmmmmm!
@SuperJiggawhat its no blah blah Im 54 and Im on hendrix since I was 14 used to spent days studying what he was doing im just enjoying telling the young generation of unknown things about hendrix if you dont like it its no problem to me jimi is long gone and still there are many who want to share my EXPERIENCE
@Hughesy16LFC every time jimi plays a song its never the exact same.. he played whatever he was feeling at that very moment! ... he was way ahead of his time.. and his playing is still ahead of our players today. in my opinion =]
who are the 7 fuckers they don't like hendrix ?? who ??? fuckers're just ignorants fuck them (sorry for my english ... really sorry ...) but I like jimi !!!
This was the first Hendrix I ever heard from an eight track in my uncles car. He was killed in a car wreck a week before his eighteenth with this tape (Midnight Lightning) in tow. This is a different mix but that swirling univibe at about 7:55 were the first notes I heard thru that run to about 8:30. Thirty years later...God Bless You, my Brother.
nah man, I reckon comparing different bands is what holds music back. There is no objective measure. It's like having two brothers, both are completely different but to say that one is superior to the other would be ridiculous. Diversity in art is the key where Jimi just happens to be the leading spirit guide inspiring all the different trips.
You also have to realize that there is a lot more going on today though with the guitar, there are so many excellent players out there who can do stuff Jimi never got a chance to do in his regretfully short life time. I agree that Kirk Hammet doesn't come close to Jimi and never will because he actually is nothing special there are way better metal guitarists out there. l
@seedawakeningishere he's the best because the sounds he made were out of a guitar and a couple pedals with an amp, and no one has been able to recreate it, plus he didnt have digital effects to make things happen, sure the digital stuff wasnt around yet but say he lived and seen the era with digital equipment he would have still stuck w/ his original set
@jubjub905 No, Jimi experimented a lot with digitals on Electric Ladyland and had he had some of the stuff that's out today, I'm sure he'd be very excited about it. And I don't think he is so good cause he made it with just the equipment he had (what about acoustic guitarists then?!), it's just that he played perfect notes which have a deeper sense ordinary headbangers can understand. And yes, you made a point, hendrix had the GREATEST sound ever, yet only amps and old guitars. His tone -unique.
I think you guys are missing are going way to far with this hendrix is the greatest guitarist that will ever walk this earth idea. Dont get me wrong I love Jimi man his writing is fantastic and songs like "Little Wing" and "Castles Made Of Sand" send shivers down my spine even after I have listened to them as many times as I have. But that being said there are a lot of other phenomenal guitar players out there, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Alvin Lee for example.
@seedawakeningishere Jimi's feel was developed up to the maximum, it could go NO FURTHER than that. That's why he is so great. Stevie Ray Vaugh was a joke.
Metallica is one of my favorite bands, but Jimi is definitely better as far as talent. Kirk Hammett, like hell of a lot of guitarists, mentions Jimi Hendrix as an influence, and I highly doubt Kirk himself thinks he's anywhere near as good as Jimi. Kirk seems like a genuinely humble guy. I'd like to meet the guitarist that thinks he's as good or better than Jimi, just so I can tell him he's a pretentious, arrogant asshole.
Kiddo whatever you said take the time to reavaluate Calpton , Beck, jhonny lee hooker , and more great guitar MEN laid the path to the greatness of kirk hammond ,hammot whatever dont take my spelling take the message this is THE backbone of every good,GREAT ,and GODLIKE guitarist you will ever see good Sir and there are MANY and I have seen alot of guy's that will never be mentioned here Hendrix is one of those GODS
Ok to end this u just CANT compare the two...even though i must say that hendrix is a better guitarist that Kirk Hammett creatively they each have their own separate talents that make them the elite musicians they are. but come on people...Metal......Funkadelic blues.......HEAVY METAL.........BLUEEEZZZ!!!!!!!!!!! two totally different genres.
@jessegguitar I have never heard jimmi hendrix play HEAVY metal, i mean metal is a genre whose main riffs guitar wise are based on blues riffs so hendrix can be interpreted as metal but heavy metal.....i think not...
@kenyheny fucking go back to your thrash bullshit screamo suicidal homicidal brutal noise and post comments over there dont fucking tell hendrix fans what is and what isnt anything,I am the troll of the apocalypse and I will rain down justice upon you,hendrix is the father of all that is heavy metal(and a few other genres) it sprung forth from his guitars birthing canal,let freedom ring with a shotgun blast!
@kenyheny ??? think how jimi sounded... BACK THEN! if the term was around.. it would of been used...research.. with your ears.. i heard jimi do the iron maiden gallop rythym, or punk beats with band of gypsies and experience....... JIMI mothfuckin HENDRIX.... unlocked the door to every style after wards!) steppenwolf was considered meavy metal thunder.. he deserves the term METAL!! UNDERSTAND?!!!!!!!!..
wow, thats such an unusual grove. lovely departure from the live version - maybe it stayed under because it doesn't have the same sort of visceral rage as the live/known version, but it's really subtle and beautiful regardless.
Every single Jimi Song has the same comments. Half the people want to try and bring down Hendrix, half the people want to talk about how great he was. And then there's the others who try to settle the fight with "hey hey lets just get high and love the music."
@Firesong14 Influences can go multiple ways. But what does that mean? People get tuned into different parts of hendrix, and a lot of it isn't musical.
are you sure this isn't a demo version or something? This sounds completely different both in sound and lyrics than the version on Band of Gypsys (at least to me)
@unleashed2rage its the studio version thats why it always sounds like its got alot more feel in it, check out the angel rare home recording, also check out the live at filmore east version its the first show the band of gypsys did as a group the lyris are prettty much the same
@unleashed2rage I'm ninety nine percent sure this was recorded after the fillmore performance. A day or two before the show Buddy had shared some of his experiences in the war (or maybe it was billy...not sure). anyways, it inspired Jimi to play this song. It was unrehearsed, experimental, and completely raw, which are three things that made that song so great. This one is more fine tuned and features that Eddie Kramer magic studio touch in my opinion, similar to the New Rising Sun album
Yeah,no doubt in my mind Hendrix was way ahead of his time.As far as 'who is better'? Tough to answer for everyone,but I will side with Clapton,Townshend and the rest and pick Jimi. Whether he was insecure enough to think West was better than him is irrelevant.The fact remains that he has been chosen by his peers as the best ever is what matters.Hats off to Stevie Ray,and props to people like Fripp, Mahavishnu and so may others,but I feel Jimi took it to the level that everyone aspires to reach

@yoursatan ...I wouldn't say that music is "all about math", but in a way, he's not entirely wrong. How many notes in a major scale? Eight. Of those eight, you take the 1st, 3rd and 5th, and you got a major chord. There's a little "math" right there. Anyway, I'm not the kind of guy who can explain this in major details but I can definitely say that there is a form of math to rhythm. When you look into metaphysics, you see everything is about frequencies. My point = your teacher ain't that crazy.
my sister and her ole man are hip to the frequencies and how the affect deeper planes etc.... theyre into music pretty deep.. I am too but they seem to wrap their brains around that aspect. I can feel it.... I know where it brings me... but they seem to go somewhere further with it.. we're all musicians in the family or lapsed musicians.
Never Heard this one, listening to Jimi over 35 years,, a treat. Mellow etc. I still favor the Fillmore East live version on 12/31/69.
his notes resonate with me more than any other guitarist. I believe the frequencies open nerve centers releasing certain emotions.... we underestimate ourselves so much.
@jimscape ....nothing will ever touch the Machine Gun version from the original Band of Gypsies.... Hendrix was really on that gig.
....and EVERYTHING is about frequencies, man.... the Earth, even the sun, they resonate at a low frequency that we can't hear, but we're now able to measure thanks to our "technological advancements".... it's great to be alive, man...!
@ZeppelinFan6980 ...I wasn't, I was talking about the original album, with the 6 songs... No matter, I respect all Hendrix-lovers opinions, and that was a pretty good rendition of Machine Gun, too.... listening to it right now. =)
@TheRealDerfMan I agree bro. I reckon the Fillmore East live version on 12/31/69 is the best a guitar has ever been played. Incidentally, the Maui Hear My train a'comin is my other fav...
+ the wavelength of our sun is around one cycle per five min... and check out a search on solfeggio frequencies.
@photonicmusic ...duuuuuude, have looked into Solfeggio frequencies for the first time about a year ago... The sun, and all the planets, vibrate at their own frequencies. Ever seen the documentaries "The Freedom Movie"..? There's a "part 1" and a "part 2", and they talk about this stuff. "Kymatica" is another doc I've seen that talks about that stuff.
If Jimi were alive today, he'd be hip to all this stuff.... =)
(...and would probably be able to explain it to us, too..!)
this man is really a god. i hate it when 6324539865 people show 592349457 coverversions by hendrix on guitar because its "easy" to play those notes when they're already founded and written down. so it isn't special. mostly they dont interpretate that song. they just play those "simple" notes...
@AnotherAlias07 Hey, me too, Alias. I remember hearing this version years and years ago on some dude's bootleg album. That 7:55-8:14 interlude is beyond description and has haunted me ever since I first heard it. I could never find this version of Machine Gun until now. It's fantastic to hear it again, and it sounds as good as I remember. Cheers.
8 people use to be artists but were shot in the knee by a machine gun.

This was the first Hendrix I ever heard from an eight track in my uncles car. He was killed in a car wreck a week before his eighteenth with this tape (Midnight Lightning) in tow. This is a different mix but that swirling univibe at about 7:55 were the first notes I heard thru that run to about 8:30. Thirty years later...God Bless You, my Brother.

nah man, I reckon comparing different bands is what holds music back. There is no objective measure. It's like having two brothers, both are completely different but to say that one is superior to the other would be ridiculous. Diversity in art is the key where Jimi just happens to be the leading spirit guide inspiring all the different trips.

You also have to realize that there is a lot more going on today though with the guitar, there are so many excellent players out there who can do stuff Jimi never got a chance to do in his regretfully short life time. I agree that Kirk Hammet doesn't come close to Jimi and never will because he actually is nothing special there are way better metal guitarists out there. l

cause he was the first one to even play it like this
MrBubbles0o0o 11 months ago
@seedawakeningishere he's the best because the sounds he made were out of a guitar and a couple pedals with an amp, and no one has been able to recreate it, plus he didnt have digital effects to make things happen, sure the digital stuff wasnt around yet but say he lived and seen the era with digital equipment he would have still stuck w/ his original set
jubjub905 11 months ago
@jubjub905 No, Jimi experimented a lot with digitals on Electric Ladyland and had he had some of the stuff that's out today, I'm sure he'd be very excited about it. And I don't think he is so good cause he made it with just the equipment he had (what about acoustic guitarists then?!), it's just that he played perfect notes which have a deeper sense ordinary headbangers can understand. And yes, you made a point, hendrix had the GREATEST sound ever, yet only amps and old guitars. His tone -unique.

I think you guys are missing are going way to far with this hendrix is the greatest guitarist that will ever walk this earth idea. Dont get me wrong I love Jimi man his writing is fantastic and songs like "Little Wing" and "Castles Made Of Sand" send shivers down my spine even after I have listened to them as many times as I have. But that being said there are a lot of other phenomenal guitar players out there, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Alvin Lee for example.

@seedawakeningishere Jimi's feel was developed up to the maximum, it could go NO FURTHER than that. That's why he is so great. Stevie Ray Vaugh was a joke.

Metallica is one of my favorite bands, but Jimi is definitely better as far as talent. Kirk Hammett, like hell of a lot of guitarists, mentions Jimi Hendrix as an influence, and I highly doubt Kirk himself thinks he's anywhere near as good as Jimi. Kirk seems like a genuinely humble guy. I'd like to meet the guitarist that thinks he's as good or better than Jimi, just so I can tell him he's a pretentious, arrogant asshole.

joshmorrice 1 year ago
@unleashed2rage I'm ninety nine percent sure this was recorded after the fillmore performance. A day or two before the show Buddy had shared some of his experiences in the war (or maybe it was billy...not sure). anyways, it inspired Jimi to play this song. It was unrehearsed, experimental, and completely raw, which are three things that made that song so great. This one is more fine tuned and features that Eddie Kramer magic studio touch in my opinion, similar to the New Rising Sun album

yoursatan 1 year ago
@yoursatan ...I wouldn't say that music is "all about math", but in a way, he's not entirely wrong. How many notes in a major scale? Eight. Of those eight, you take the 1st, 3rd and 5th, and you got a major chord. There's a little "math" right there. Anyway, I'm not the kind of guy who can explain this in major details but I can definitely say that there is a form of math to rhythm. When you look into metaphysics, you see everything is about frequencies. My point = your teacher ain't that crazy.

Never Heard this one, listening to Jimi over 35 years,, a treat. Mellow etc. I still favor the Fillmore East live version on 12/31/69.
his notes resonate with me more than any other guitarist. I believe the frequencies open nerve centers releasing certain emotions.... we underestimate ourselves so much.
