The way he improvised the guitar parts live is mind boggling. You wouldn't think that he could do anything to improve upon the studio version and then you hear some crazy cool rhythm...unbelievable.
Can you imagine going to a bar and seeing this band?? What really sticks out right away is the restraint. Nobody's shouting or blasting us away. Jimi's voice is lovely, and the whole tone is great.
His genius was not only in technique, but also songwriting and improvising different solos on stage, and that is much more important. so it's not a big deal playing HIS songs, but do try and make better ones? Hardly possible.. :))
what blows my mind is this song is so basic and simple but yet 30 some years later nobody has ever been able to even come close to doing anything half as good as this.....
@Haloumouse nobody plays this song as good as hendrix, especially NOT when you are 13. and dont go round posting on youtube how good you are and how much talent you have, that's just,,,, not cool
The most mellow version of this song that I've heard Hendix do. Diametrical to this is the rendition of "Hey Joe" he did at Monterey (a few months later), which is about 90 percent higher octane but just as good.
40 years after his death we are not only still listening to his music but also playing it. so in a way he has never died...his music still lives on through us.
i love hendrix as much as the next guy and i like how everyone remembers him by saying 'RIP Hendrix' but come on, have you guys forgotten about Mitchell and Redding? those two guys we're basically hedrix in their respective instruments, creative and innovative and they deserve much respect for there own contributions, not just being hendrix 'back up band'
It doesn't matter if he was high on drugs because he only did the right drugs for this kind of music. Drugs like Weed and Acid will make an already genius, introspective person such as Hendrix just get explosions of creativity.
@TheMaster926 Like the great dutch writer Hermans used to say: only phonies and imposters claim they need anything for being able to produce good writing.
Most of the time drugs lead to a lot of nonsense, which only sounds good to the one's producing this nonsense.
@fravatel Alright whatever you say... go and stay naive to the benefits of certain drugs in music and I will continue benefiting from drugs with my music.
Life has many unanswerable tragic parts to it, but it also has amazing shooting stars that a lucky person gets to catch sight of, and he was one of the most beautiful.
Click on the guy's name who had that horrible stuff to say and you'll see that he does that everywhere he goes in order to incite people. And yes, this does have everything to do with Jimi Hendrix and much of what he represents to me.
Funny, I was just about to say that this stuff still goes great with bong hits. You know why? Because there were bong hits, folk, blues, and hippies for thousands of years, and there always will be, unless the fascists figure out how to kill us all, in which case the whole world will come to an end, which is what they really want. Amen.
Where the world would be now, if he didn't die. I'm an atheist myself, but for people who believe in god, why do you think he has to go and kill the best people to ever live?
The Mitch Mitchell performace in this video is extraordinary and it is something of completely different thinking to other famous rock drummers of that period.
In my opinion three drummers, Mitch Mitchell, Keith Moon and Ginger Baker, changed the way to play drums in the rock music.
The record "Are you Experienced ?" could be considered the starting point to the '70's Hard Rock evolution, and all types of Rock and Metal today are sons of The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
probably not even one of you plays guitar so you dont even understand one little bit how good he is....you just say he's a legend because everyone else does.
92% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos.
stop being an elitist jerk. Im a massive fan of hendrix and i dont care if people dont get the name right, as long as they LOVE his music, even if they have heard very little of it!!!!!!
Hell yea he played with his teeth, his feet, behind his back he played a right handed guitar upside down cause he was left handed, Hes one of the best of all time he right their under Dime, and zack , ext.............but ya dont haft to take my word for it , read about him learn something damn it!
The way he improvised the guitar parts live is mind boggling. You wouldn't think that he could do anything to improve upon the studio version and then you hear some crazy cool rhythm...unbelievable.
