Jimi Hendrix - Stages - Purple Haze

[PtarmiganStrings]

why is he playing right handed in this picture?

[xxmaxexstreamxx]

nice but sloppy but still killer amazeing

[RIPHendrix70]

@xxmaxexstreamxx i love when everything's slurred lol

[audadvnc]

@xxmaxexstreamxx - In a recent interview with Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna fame, he was asked, "What was the defining characteristic of the San Francisco sound?"

His reply: "Sloppy!"

[ReeseMac]

I think this might be my favorite version of Purple Haze. The ending at 3:06 is killer.

[SuperRobza]

totally awesome version of purple haze. i think he played it differently evrey time he played it

[TheOfficersDelusion]

RIP Jimi Hendrix. 41 Years ago today.

[Charlito93]

0:50 While I kiss that guy ? yeah ur really high lol

[MrMarksmanelite]

this is the coolest version i ever heard....thats it

[ShioOkami512]

Sometimes i wish i was born 30 years earlier...

[finalnexus]

I had the four cd set when it was released in the early 90's.... cool document....

[colosalblack]

This is probably my favourite song to play on guitar. It's just insanely fun.

[deltasquadftw]

He was a lefty, not a righty, but he was a kick-ass guitar player! wish I had his talent T_T

[sawboss17]

KILLLLER!



[eatmyorangemarmalade]

[horsefly52]

That solo was kick ass.

[ArnteeDi]

The music is awesome, naturally! Your picture of Jimi is reversed

[ArnteeDi]

The music is awesome, naturally! Your picture of Jimi is reversed

[HumblePie76]

This is a super heavy version. I love it!

[DeliciousCustard]

I like that he legit said "excuse me while I kiss that guy" in this version. Humor is a sign of greatness. :D

[guitarkid177]

why the fuck is the picture reversed! Every guitarist knows that Jimi PLAYS LEFTY!!!!

[TheDicamillo]

scuse me while i kiss that guy

[hendrix7755]

that first pic sucks

[chespiritorosario]

este negro es un capo con la guitarrita!

[able506]

time to break out my stash of keif

[Codude180219]

My top 3 Jimi Hendrix Live versions of his songs:

1. Purple Haze (San Diego)

2. Hey Joe (Monterey)

3. Red House (Woodstock)

[Profy00]

excuse me while I kiss that guy!

[SWWhite1000]

Why did you mirror that photograph? It looks like he's not a lefty and plays a left-handed guitar.

[Fett600]

why isn't this version on iTunes...

[jahstp]

aha hhe actully says exxcus eme while i kiss that guy

[haloskater24]

i think blackpool is another good version

[dmohr7]

hey what tuning is he in cause im not sure but i think its a full step down anyone help?

[iFriendChannel]

@dmohr7 half step i think

[bookworm1138]

@dmohr7 half-step, i think.

[dmohr7]

does anyone have tabs????????????? for the last solo fuck that was sick

[mychem1914777]

@dmohr7 I know right... Hendrix makes that strat scream with emotion

[SinfulTyrant]

Best Version of the song

[superbolli]

i think the image is mirrored when looking at the strat

[ImpYr0]

Awesome

[aaronbrakefield]

perfect mix here. just enough bass and drum, and then plenty of THE AXE!!

[robsurfin]

I was there...Just got back from Nam...it was amazing...!

[StratoBlaster420]

@robsurfin Want to trade lives?

[gbrown4x4]

This pic is backwards....As if you're looking at it through a mirror. It was reproduced backwards so that's why it''s like that.

[bubbah12345]

oops nevermind duh thats a righty played righty my bad

[bubbah12345]

this picture is kinda weird looks like a lefty played righty even though he mainly played righty turned lefty

[iFriendChannel]

no because he already flipped the guitar so if he already flipped it it would be the right way round in the picture

[wiisports505]

so dumb, this pic shows him playing right handed, HE PLAYED LEFTY

[sebyseby34]

i'm shiver....the best version..

[salrigatti]

agree

[LiBERAT1ON]

I know he was a lefty, but then it wouldn't make sense as to why he flipped the guitar, that would make him play with his right hand.

[TheCleanButter]

@LiBERAT1ON He wans't a lefty. When he started playing the guitar he thought that the fingers on his right hand were stonger thus re-stringing it.

[LiBERAT1ON]

@TheCleanButter I really didn't know that. That's pretty interesting. I just assumed he was left handed.

[imtripping23]

It ended so perfectly. He shouldnt have died

[RingsofSaturn67]

For all of the guitar players out there, do you think Jimi is using a silicon or germanium-based resistor in the fuzz?

[Boerny1984]

Both

[sm1tty031]

its germanium...look for dallas arbiter fuzz faces of the time period. In fact right here on youtube there is a shoot out between germanium and silicon fuzz faces.

[Mezm3rize]

He says "Excuse me.... while I kiss that guy" in this version, doesn't he?

[salrigatti]

indeed

[XxRuLlExX]

Best version!!!!!

[bookworm1138]

wtf...why is he playing the guitar right-handed?

[LiBERAT1ON]

He's not, the picture is flipped.

[andrewjeff]

yes it's one of the coolest version that i ever heard!!killer!

[xBERETHOR222x]

agreed but really can anything compare to hendrix. hes in a league of his own

[xBERETHOR222x]

this version is in guitar hero lol

[bookworm1138]

3:09 to 3:37: now THAT is a guitar solo!

[dmohr7]

also at the end he starts tuning it up very far so it was pretty low

[dmohr7]

i agree with u

[ZBone12]

Whats that red thing on his guitar?

[GTAVC2]

he think since the jonas brother wear a pruity ring, all rockers should LOL

[lukethesk8rdude]

i know! i cant believe it! Jimi Hendrix is THE beast but no1 watches these vids of the best performances in the world!

[thepurplehaze357]

Hendrix always had different everything. he would just make up solos that were so great and thats why he's the best

[dmohr7]

yeah mn i fuckin found the guitar ero version fuck yeah manwhoever put this up i fuckin love u

[gongandfriends]

danny!

its gidyea

[chrisisSuperDUPERfor]

The secret behind this video is that hendrix tuned his guitar to the tuning of his voice instead of Standard tuning

[parigod]

He just tuned down a half step didn't he?

[chrisisSuperDUPERfor]

people said its hard to determine because in like 5 of his vids they're all different tunings. lol

[BulletFrenzy543]

it sounds it but its less heavier then half a step so to be honest I have no clue lol

[Clayton412]

He usually played a righty guitar turned upside down.

[BulletFrenzy543]

Yea, but he just had to string it so itd be lefty

[Clayton412]

I meant to say that.

[BulletFrenzy543]

I love how near the end u hear to chicks yell VOODOO CHILE! haha

[AngryNerdFan1337]

this is the version on Guitar hero world tour

[silverbasscross]

OMG thats right!!

but... in the game it says The Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1968, and this guy says 1969.. wut??

[AaronSparda990]

Yeah, they got it wrong. It was played in '69. :P

[BulletFrenzy543]

no Hendrix could slightly play with his right hand at times when he wanted

[parigod]

That pictures obviously live, he never played right handed live.

[Cheo1545]

Inverted Pic..I Suppose.

[parigod]

Why's he playing right handed in that picture?
