When Frank Zappa interviewed Jimi Hendrix in May 1968 for his Life magazine article about rock’n’roll, Frank remarked how he thought Jimi was a sincere, humble guy. He asked Jimi if girls and boys treated him differently and apparently Jimi said girls ask, ‘Do you think about a particular girl when you’re playing or is it just sex in general?’ But guys were more interested in questions about his guitar or if he got high on stage.
(from Freak Out! My Life with Frank Zappa by Pauline Butcher)
@anonymouslolxD Looks like Pete Townshend's Rickenbacker 360/12 (12 string)1965 with R tailpiece in maple(obviously before he smashed it to bits)..see Jimi gestures towards him with his thumb...that's Roger Daltrey far left holding his favourite instrument!
Amazing pictures. So many times I've heard "rare" when it comes to Hendrix only to be disappointed. I've been a huge fan for 30+ years and thought I've seen it all. I would say 45% of the photo's were first timers for me. Excellent job. Thank You for posting.
(5:45 - 6:29) rhythm-comping the 12-bar changes, but how the HELL did he get that sound??? IT's almost like he's fretting the chords, but banginging the tremolo-springs in back or something?!? Wow, what a sound,! I have never heard that particular sound before? It's sort of bassy, metallic, and on-the-verge-of-feedback all-at-the-same-time?!? Anyone have any specific ideas how exactly he did this, besides what I guessed earlier?
@billmeedog sounds about right he s fretting the chords by tappin the chord (and sliding) (with his right hand(chord hand) he s kicked in the fuzzface and sounds like he s on the bridge pick-up so the amps just about to tip over-sounds to me like he s banging the body to get the thump/rhythm (if u hit the srings u get a bell/chimey sound -usually-an its kinda hard position to do both (also sounds like hes used the pick up selector as a wah just before the section-before the rhythm.)
professional players are always interested in the know how and will always be exchanging ideas and learning from other players they respect,as did Jimi. if you spoke to Jimi he say 'yeah --man -was watching Buddy----I found this crazy little lick...'
@70goldtop Cool, no sweat, -- nice to meet u on here anyways. ---hey maybe check out my playing ---see if u dig it ---It s classic rock based --but lots of blues and some soul mixed in.. Dave.
Its a Gibson SG, (Les Paul Custom) Around '60 they stopped making the trad. Les Paul shape and started calling what came to be an SG, a "Les Paul Custom". There was part of the pickguard that extended up between the end of the neck and the neck pickup and in that narrow strip it said Les Paul. (Les Paul hated it and that shape came to be known as the SG) Thats the basic gist... more to it than I've said. You collectors and others should add or correct where I've got it wrong.
@6SL You are oh so right. Beautiful axe. I've only seen a couple. Probably worth a few bucks these days. Of course Jimi was mostly seen on a strat, he played FlyinV's quite a bit but rarely anything else, so I would say that the pic at 2:18 is pretty damn vintage itself. (A Rick at 9:55?) I believe if he were alive today he would have left all the flambouyant psyc rock way behind and would be the best blues guitarist to have walked the earth.
@4to88strings i think jimi would be friends with alan holdsworth and the marsalis brothers, they would be his best friends cause even though they took it really far they would still want jimi to take them further, that's where jimi lives outside our dreams :)
@Campestral That's a pretty eclectic combination..but I can see it. But I could see him
hanging with Bella Fleck Vic Wooten and Chic Corea too. Maybe even Itzach Perlman. Jimi was an explorer. With sound, style, technique and unfortunately with drugs. Don't get me wrong I've done more than my fair share, but I think I could have accomplished much more if I hadn't "Experimented". BTW Holdsworth is an awesome, seldom mentioned guitarist. Saw him once, and he blew me away. You like Steve Morse?
@6SL Hey I replied to you before on this SG. Well, I was watching Pawn Stars the other night and they gave a guy $90 grand for one of these that belonged to Mary Ford. It was documented with letters and pictures of her playing it with Les etc. Pretty cool stuff. They'll probably re-sale it for double that. What do think it cost new, a few hundred??

i'm not one for having SRV in every comment line, BUT! hear is a good time to inject SRV..between solos hendrix is THE blues guitarist for CREATIVE heaven ...his licks are unbelievably complex, string bend control, no effect cleanliness, feel, dynamics,...ad infinitum..SRV never in any strecth of imagination could match such genius.. anyone who mistakes distortion and wild solos for hendrix needs listen...a freak show draws the crowd....as does burning guitars..
Can anyone explain why Jimi continued to play right handed Strats? The cut away is not as deep on a right handed guitar if you are left handed. Kind of ironic that the best lead guitar player during that time had a handy cap.
@MrJfatah might've been that he liked not having the resonance problem on his high strings - course, he might've just been that cool - you have to admit, he was pretty damn cool
@catawboy I say he was just being that cool because he was.
He liked strats who doesn't beside Angus and Page but there probably wasn't alot of lefty strats going around in the early 60s.
Back to strats. I've seen Townsend playing SG Les Paul Rics Teles but when you see him now he's gotta strat. Same with Beck Clapton Gilmour and others. They can bite or growl or be mellow as jello. Very versatile axe. Jimi coulda played a $25 pawn shop special and make it sizzle or cry 'cause he was Jimi.
@ranjanchadha That's right. I have Martin, Gibson, Fender, Epiphone and Yamaha, but I got a Jay Terser in a pawn shop that I love. With a pro setup it plays and sounds as good as a Gibby or Gretch. But I think that's true with anything. I backed an 18 yr old kid in a pool hall that took a cue stick off the rack and took several hundred dollars from guys using custom sticks. Man, were they pissed.
11'O6'' seconds of pure genius...An exemple among so many others: the part between 2'33 et 2'37!!!...Shit:-)..There's nobody, except hendrix, at this level...even if think the ultimate version of red house is the san diego's arena one..Thx Jimi!!!
Anyone know the origins of this song -- who wrote it -- or is it traditional? I am especially intrigued by the "empty spot" in this song -- around 6:45 and till around 7:00. This is much more pronounced in other versions of this song. What does the empty, meandering space in this part of the song mean? I don't think I've ever heard anything like that in any other blues song. It's a unique empty space that only Jimi could pull off then launch into a devastating solo.
His tone on this version of red house was especially clean, and those double stops he plays right before the first verse are brilliant. very inspired performance of a tune he did often, including his voice which sounded great on this night. wish I had been there.
@davec3487 I think he turns the guitar volume up and then starts knocking on the guitar body with the picking hand (in the same way you might knock on a door) whilst sliding the blues V chord up and down the fretboard . Seen him do it in video on the Isle of Wight Red House version. :)
@davec3487 It sounds like hammering the strings gently on the neck and holding them. You slide your fingers up/down the strings, pass over the frets while holding and the frets make the 2 notes. You'd get the upper, neck side string sound and the lower, body side string side at the same time, one is going up the other down as your lengths change on the entire string length on the opposite sides of your fingers. Electrics are easier to do but I do it on my acoustic guitars.
@davec3487 Hes Tapping / fretting and a bit of sliding on the strings with most likely his metal Tremolo Bar (whammy bar) these bars just snap out of the bridge.
It's great to hear the "full" version. And to think that I could have been there, if I'd only got off my butt! Many thanks for sharing this with us. :)
My favourite, and the best guitar playing I've ever heard, is Red House at the Isle of Wight festival 1970. Things were going wrong, and you can feel it. He sings falsetto, messes up, mentions his girl, then plays the greatest solo I know. Its better when he just plays.
The Best Guitarist That Ever Lived. We lost a great human being. I've seen interviews of him, and he was such a likeable idividual. He looked the type that if you wanted to talk to him, he would listen to what you had to say.
Maybe it was the key to his excellence that he always had to make up for the other two guys, especially the one with the bass guitar. He must have been largely toward the good natured side. Gives his amazing guitar solos really an extra weight as they are silent. Also great vocal part here.
@canada2love Hey man, say what you want about Noel but Jimi himself said that he was able to make the music he did because of Mitch Mitchell's drumming, which truly is incredible.
@percymillerz Sure, Mitchell is a fine drummer as long as they they do slow blues, and a virtuous one all the time. Prob is only, when Jimi gets fast and virtuous, Mitch does also, or at least tries, as if he wanted to conform with the guitar solo. But in this process he seems to neglegt his task as a drummer: to set the rhythmic stress, to articulate these magic points. As an example you may regard Buddy Miles in "machine gun", who serves by his art a trance-like backbone.
@canada2love Nice to get an intelligent response. I actually have to say I agree with you that mitch tended to neglect his rhythmic role for a lead style and there is no doubt Buddy is a phenomenal, funk machine. However, if you listen to some jams between Mitchell and Hendrix like "Jungle", they reach insane musical heights with just two musicians, completely in sync.
Just comes back to Jimi though - He could of made indescribable funk with Miles or indescribable fusion with Mitchell.
@canada2love I don't think Mitch was neglecting his role as a drummer to set the rhythmic tone/pace. You don't have to play strait time to be a good backbone for a band. Mitch more so floated around the time... still indicating where it is but not being so direct with it. That was the whole magic of his playing is that it was always evolving, he was always speaking through the instrument as Jimi spoke through his. In this case as in many others Noel becomes the backbone...
@Zack8133 just as John Paul Jones would become the time center if Bonham went out of time in a fill or off the hinge with page. The time keeper can move between the group because everyone is contributing to it. I actually feel that Buddy Miles didn't compliment Hendrix as well as Mitchell simply because he laid back more.. His playing does put the spotlight more on Hendrix more which is never a bad thing, but the beauty of The Jimi Hendrix Experience was their collective musical mind and body.
pdeagle14-really the government did all that stuff-(drugs,dope,red wine and pills) to jimi and then killed him the way the media wants us to believe. did the government also make him a good guitar player? even in europe? wow. tell me more.
Love Jimi! He was getting a really good tone at Royal Albert Hall. This is one of the great versions of Red House. My all time favorite being his version on "Hendrix in the West." That is pure sonic orchestral genius beyond belief.
his phrasing is so unique and natural, and so hard to copy, as in get his feel and flow, not just reading tabs. BUt to actually improvise like dis is......hard.........talented bastard :)
I swear to god, when redhouse started playing, my computer and desk just started to shake, No other explanation apart from the epic vibrations flowing through the speakers, shook this inaminate object to the core.

@davec3487 It sounds like hammering the strings gently on the neck and holding them. You slide your fingers up/down the strings, pass over the frets while holding and the frets make the 2 notes. You'd get the upper, neck side string sound and the lower, body side string side at the same time, one is going up the other down as your lengths change on the entire string length on the opposite sides of your fingers. Electrics are easier to do but I do it on my acoustic guitars.

@davec3487 Hes Tapping / fretting and a bit of sliding on the strings with most likely his metal Tremolo Bar (whammy bar) these bars just snap out of the bridge.

Astonishing.
My favourite, and the best guitar playing I've ever heard, is Red House at the Isle of Wight festival 1970. Things were going wrong, and you can feel it. He sings falsetto, messes up, mentions his girl, then plays the greatest solo I know. Its better when he just plays.

The Best Guitarist That Ever Lived. We lost a great human being. I've seen interviews of him, and he was such a likeable idividual. He looked the type that if you wanted to talk to him, he would listen to what you had to say.

Maybe it was the key to his excellence that he always had to make up for the other two guys, especially the one with the bass guitar. He must have been largely toward the good natured side. Gives his amazing guitar solos really an extra weight as they are silent. Also great vocal part here.

@canada2love Hey man, say what you want about Noel but Jimi himself said that he was able to make the music he did because of Mitch Mitchell's drumming, which truly is incredible.
percymillerz 3 months ago
@percymillerz Sure, Mitchell is a fine drummer as long as they they do slow blues, and a virtuous one all the time. Prob is only, when Jimi gets fast and virtuous, Mitch does also, or at least tries, as if he wanted to conform with the guitar solo. But in this process he seems to neglegt his task as a drummer: to set the rhythmic stress, to articulate these magic points. As an example you may regard Buddy Miles in "machine gun", who serves by his art a trance-like backbone.
canada2love 3 months ago
@canada2love Nice to get an intelligent response. I actually have to say I agree with you that mitch tended to neglect his rhythmic role for a lead style and there is no doubt Buddy is a phenomenal, funk machine. However, if you listen to some jams between Mitchell and Hendrix like "Jungle", they reach insane musical heights with just two musicians, completely in sync.
Just comes back to Jimi though - He could of made indescribable funk with Miles or indescribable fusion with Mitchell.

@canada2love I don't think Mitch was neglecting his role as a drummer to set the rhythmic tone/pace. You don't have to play strait time to be a good backbone for a band. Mitch more so floated around the time... still indicating where it is but not being so direct with it. That was the whole magic of his playing is that it was always evolving, he was always speaking through the instrument as Jimi spoke through his. In this case as in many others Noel becomes the backbone...
Zack8133 3 months ago
@Zack8133 just as John Paul Jones would become the time center if Bonham went out of time in a fill or off the hinge with page. The time keeper can move between the group because everyone is contributing to it. I actually feel that Buddy Miles didn't compliment Hendrix as well as Mitchell simply because he laid back more.. His playing does put the spotlight more on Hendrix more which is never a bad thing, but the beauty of The Jimi Hendrix Experience was their collective musical mind and body.

Love Jimi! He was getting a really good tone at Royal Albert Hall. This is one of the great versions of Red House. My all time favorite being his version on "Hendrix in the West." That is pure sonic orchestral genius beyond belief.
