Come On, Pt. 1 by. Jimi Hendrix

[tjrrockandrollmaster]

This song kicks ass. My first intro to this tune was in the 1979 movie Over The Edge. This was used in the scene where Matt Dillon and his buddy get into a high speed chase with the cop Doberman who sadly kills Matt Dillon's character

[tedongtr]

Jimi Hendrix is the master of the guitar.

[SonnyREast]

[SonnyREast]

My love is nice if its understood

c'mon baby let the good times roll!

[MattmanDavidson]

was there ever a part 2? and where could i hear it?

[SonnyREast]

@MattmanDavidson this is part 2, part 1 is Earl king, and 3 is SRV.

[dooshkanchik]

you got me flippin like a flag on a pole

[emotionalinvalid]

This is H at his best. more in control and structured in the studio. Of course there are exceptions like his live Villanova Station(?correct title?), where H plays both fast, experimental and a soft passage at Woodstock. H displays his talents from playing as a back up guitaritst with the likes of Little Richard to his inimitable virtuosity in this piece. A.A.T.W.TOWER probably is another piece where the great H displays his diversity, versatility and genius too.

[jokkergar]

amazing guitar solo!!

[probrojeffro]

For the three albums he put out, right from the get go just quality, quality, quality up and down the tracks. He didn't pull any punches or short change. How many bands take two, three, or four albums before they get to quality. Imagine what he could have done if he stayed alive. Amazing.

[iceybleu]

My oh my Jimi... you and your guitar.

[jcncastro1]

O melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos!!

[grahamw56]

This actually is spoiled by being digitalised (no offence intended...better than nothing), but on the original vinyl, sooo much better and 'together'. :)

[jgcaesar4]

@grahamw56 Agree. This is true about several Hendrix vinyl recordings. The Hendrix in the West vinyl remastered by Eddie Kramer really stands out.

[grahamw56]

This actually is spoiled by being digitalised (no offence intended...better than nothing), but on the original vynyl, sooo much better and 'together'. :)

[mrmogensen]

love Jimi, but gotta say, SRV wins this one

[destroysubgenres]

@mrmogensen Fuck off with the Stevei Ray Vaughn bullshit. He's amazing, but Hendrix is in a different league!

[JimmyPage97]

@destroysubgenres If anyone asks \Where do you see that Hendrix Influenced Srv...this is were you send them.

[boxingin]

Best musician ever, bar none!

[jaybavet1]

true musician....dedicated

[SuperSmooth65]

AT LEAST NOT LOUDLY

[SuperSmooth65]

AND GUESS WHAT THE PRODUCER AND ENGINEER WOULD NEVER LAUGH AT A PERSON WHO CAN FIRE THEM , IF THEY VALUE THE POSITION THEY ARE IN

[SuperSmooth65]

DUDE

[SuperSmooth65]

in the sixties or whenever

[SuperSmooth65]

and there is now truth to the statment about 90% or recordings being made with 20 watt or lower amps

[SuperSmooth65]

they would laugh because any decent studio would have that kind of equipment there alsready .

[joeyelmer]

like to hear clapton try to do this ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[vinnieIbz]

I hope this stays at 0 dislikes or some un musical Justin bieber minyum will have to die

[putoncabron]

Always leaves me for more. So I just EL all over again. Boom solution solved,ese!

[PrimalStones]

My mum just told me to turn this off because she was watching Emmerdale, i told her to FUCK OFF!

[nickzu]

why the name of the song is part 1? is there a part 2? or maybe hendrix was saving it for the next album...

[Sly6035]

@nickzu i cant remember the artist but jimi did as a tribute to him and stevie di his cover pt 3 for both thte orginal singer and hendrix

[clap67]

I love the 60 HZ noise kept in the recording..It's a live take!!You can almost feel the ENORMOUS volume of the Marshall stack!

[bugsycline]

@clap67 Idiot... any producer using a "stack" in a recording studio is unexperienced and shouldn't be behind the control board. 90% of all recordings from the 60's... the guitar amp used was a 20 watt or lower. usually a fender Princeton, champ or deluxe. Judging from the tone on this recording I'm going to say a marshall 1/12' combo was used... please don't spread disinformation. It helps create more crappy players.

[clap67]

@bugsycline Oh really?Search for "Jimi Hendrix Studio 1968" on Google and see who's an idiot now!

By the way :YES Jimi did use at least a 4 X 12 Marshall with a plexi head in studio,if not a FULL STACK!.Sometimes he used a Fender Amp like in the "South Saturn Delta" track along with a Gibson Les Paul Jr.

Oh,and Marshall 1X12 combo was certainly not around in 1968.

[bugsycline]

@clap67 excuse me clap67 The Marshall 1/12 comment was ment to be a "Marshall 2/12" and not "Marshall 1/12" Marshall produced thier first 2/12 in 1965...

Ps... Kramer is an idiot... He was so high on cocaine at the time he could probably barely put words together let alone a recording session... I dare you to show up with a marshall stack to a recording session @ any major recording studio just watch out... you're going to get made fun of by the engeneer and the producer.

[willwelsh816]

@bugsycline hi, sorry, I don't want to add to the argument at all, but for information wise, why would an engineer and producer find it funny to bring a certain type of amp to a studio? I mean, what if you get a certain sound out of those amps that you really can't get out of many others? I heard that Cream also recorded with their stacks, I'm sure they were just half stacks, but I bet they were still loud as hell.

[BuddyWillis]

Stevie played Jimi better than Jimi played Jimi.

:3

[jgcaesar4]

@BuddyWillis That's silly.

[whack1989]

@jgcaesar4 i concur!!

[AZNman11111]

@jgcaesar4

agreed. nobody will ever play better than jimi

[harenchi]

SRV died while trying to be Jimi. He never made it...

[AZNman11111]

im pretty sure stevie also copied the riff in "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

[bugsycline]

@AZNman11111 from buddy guy's version of mary had a little lamb.

[bobbeedigi]

3:37 is so sick

[chrisderrick57]

Awesome speed....I actually bought All Along The Watchtower when it first came out as a 45 single....pleased to say I still have it!

[JHendrixxxxx]

As the matter of fact, Stevie Ray Vaughan was heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix.

And that means he would do his covers and try to do things that Jimi has done.

Jimi will always be the greatest.

And his greatness has inspired a lot of artists.

[zzebowa]

It isnt just the best guitar solo, it one of the best songs ever! And the solo is RELENTLESS! He nails the pent minor and major, and then drops into the coolest jazziest double stops and chords, and then rips back into the pent to finish! All without a seconds hesitation! How does he do it!

[TheLUBRICATORS]

@zzebowa to be that good. he was. had to shred alot wood i'd say

[zzebowa]

@TheLUBRICATORS Its a nice solo to play. Except I cant get the jazzy bit yet. its very cool.

[TheLUBRICATORS]

@zzebowa its what you call making it yours.comes with time

[zzebowa]

@TheLUBRICATORS Been playing 27 years, but only seriously in the last 3, and its only now I can start to play this kind of stuff.

[TheLUBRICATORS]

@zzebowa dont limit yourself - embrace all genres

[jdotsta]

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[pr0hine]

lmao george harrison ? stop kidding

[FretsOnFire95]

@pr0hine why do you say that? a totally different type of player, but still brilliant in his own right

[FretsOnFire95]

Don't hate on me for saying this, just an opinion: I think that George Harrison and Eric Clapton are AS GOOD AS Hendrix (not better than).

[psychopatysch]

@FretsOnFire95 are you on acid? wake up and see reality!

[FretsOnFire95]

@psychopatysch pft, what's reality anymore?

[vaibanez17]

@FretsOnFire95 Jimi Hendrix walked on stage with Eric Clapton(the year and concert escape me) and played so well with them that Eric Clapton walked off the stage in embarrassment.

[zzebowa]

@vaibanez17 I dont rate Clapton that highly. I can play as well as him, without much effort. Page is a little more difficult, lots of technique, but Hendirx! You have to have it in your SOUL to play like that, and I dont know if I was born that way! :)

[TheLUBRICATORS]

@vaibanez17 -Thank You only in Usa

[centraal22]

Ya gotta love the classics.

[emperorof420]

lol!!!! i love jimi's orgasm face when he plays guitar!!! its so fucking hot

[JMarreroBand]

Come check out my band play this song live...Dig it

[JMarreroBand]

Dig my band playin' this Hendrix tune...

[VancouverJames]

Wicked. always loved this cover by Jimi!

[PicnicHikeMusic]

That is sick! Wow - no wonder people keep talking about him. Notes come out of thin air. It makes these "100 note per second" players today sound boring. Fade out with Wah pedal gives me chills This has soul and rhythm.

And its 42 years ago ??

[putoncabron]

hey! where are all you guys at? post on this infectious jam ya'll!

[LuigiBoltoni1]

It's in my top 3 aswell boltedankle.

[YAHOO872]

people see me by gyft

everybodies wrecking their brains trying to find the sample

[louiseduvee]

Killer album.

[codyclarke1]

it doesnt sound like any of those haha, those songs, and artists sound like JIMI. not the other way around haha(:

[codyclarke1]

you can tell alot about a person by what music they listen too, Hendrix is my idol, i envy him. iv knoticed something about every hendrix fan that iv met, their all nice kindhearted people. thats so great. long live Jimi Hendrix

[TonyRoq]

Right! James Marshall Hendrix did not inspire hatred in anything he did, said, or recorded!

[0871356005]

i m trying to cover this and its taking a long time. a very long time in fact. truly the most insane piece of music ever thanks to both king and hendrix.

[uburei]

THIS IS THE BEST GUITAR SOLO EVER

[MrPONTVIANNE]

@uburei

OF COURSE

SRV COPIED JIMI

[boltedankle]

I bought Electric Ladyland as an impulse buy (I loved Hendrix long before I bought it, however), man, I'm glad I did. It's in the three best albums ever in my opinion. Completely un-messed with art.

[Meinbier1234]

am i the only one who thinks that this sounds a bit like srv's

"mary had a little lamb" ?

anyway, brilliant song!

[erbosifernandorock]

Maybe srv copied Jimi Hendrix.....

Listen the solo ... ;)

[Geepsterr]

Did you say "maybe" SRV copied Jimi ? HAH! close to a clone.

[bamwow09]

@erbosifernandorock who didnt copy Hendrix lol

[Rectanglectum]

@erbosifernandorock Maybe? There's no maybe's about it, DEFINITELY, SRV has said in multiple interviews before his death that Jimi was more than an influence, that he copied Jimi in more ways than he felt like admitting....that being said he's still a great guitarist...it's like Lynyryd Skynyrd saying you wouldn't have heard from them without the Allman Brothers....whatever, thanks for the tunes.

[HolliValsMusic]

@Rectanglectum If you want to have fun playing the guitar, how can you NOT copy Jimi?

[Rectanglectum]

@HolliValsMusic pretty F-ing much! even people who don't listen to him....likely listen to people who did listen to him....the (random number) degrees of separation to Hendrix are staggering in as many directions as one might want to take it....Jimmy Page is another one it's hard not to be influenced by on some level, dude was/is mindblowingly prolific....my greater point is along the theme of the saying imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....though it's a fine line to plagiarism too...

[TheLUBRICATORS]

@erbosifernandorock MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO YOUR HOMEWORK

[erbosifernandorock]

@TheLUBRICATORS WHAT?

[TheLUBRICATORS]

@erbosifernandorock REALLY WOW FREAKIN ENSTEIN

[kanix999]

@erbosifernandorock solo/melody has parts jjjjust like mary had a little lamb

[vin6L6]

@erbosifernandorock

Jeez, ya think ????? Nahhhh :)

[TheDemenzo]

@erbosifernandorock Mary Had a little Lamb

[bugsycline]

@erbosifernandorock Idiot! The both copied Earl King... New Orleans RNB legend.

the solo on King's version was ripped note for note by these guys... whom were big fans of kings music.

SRV even reffers to Earl as "One of the three kings" whom he tries to emulate for his tone.

[davidgoodlettmusic]

@erbosifernandorock Whatdayameen maybe?!?! Definitely. LOL. It's all good. So many of us are influenced by Jimi.

[jazzciggarette]

actually it sounds alot like let the good times roll by louis jordan

[Heeey333]

Prince has no originality. Just a imataion of Hendrix...

[skitchpatterson]

My fav song after 'foxy lady'... :-)

[vettecsix]

To me Hendrix was most able to become one with the guitar,No one since has been able to surpass his abilities,This is my personal opinion so take it for what it's worth!

[sirfunkyguy]

you're absolutely right, but I think john frusciante is one of the few, as not the only one who comes close...but ofcourse he's inspired very much by mr. jimi "god" Hendrix. doei

[billyx1111]

Stevi Ray Vaughn is as good as Hendrix.

[kacl1000]

As good as Hendrix? Man, you are crazy!!

NOBODY IS AS GOOD AS HENDRIX

Learn that dude!

[kankersletje]

there are some guitarist now that are as good as jimi like malmsteen, satriani, etc. but that's only because jimi died so young else there wouldn't have been one guitarist able to reach jimi's skills

[wizardfan7689]

Thats like...two differant genres. Jimi was the best rock-blues player. Satriani and malmsteen are in the shred catagory, sumthin i cant understand.

[viadisconnect]

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta comes close Im not saying he surpasses him but hes almost as good as Jimi.

[donaldbee]

WHO ???

[dvollrath]

I loveeee the mars volta and Omar. They're one of my favorite bands. But Omar really isn't that good of a guitarist. He uses delay to make it sound like he's playing way faster than he really is and he himself admits that he's not as good as people say he is. He's still very creative, but not even close to Jimi Hendrix.

Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist that's ever lived hands down. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't understand why because they're missing a lot out of life. listen closer

[wizardfan7689]

Haha, look up Andy Mcgee. I think thats how you spell it.

[dvollrath]

yeah andy mckee is brilliant but a completely different guitarist. Jimi probably couldn't play drifting while mckee probably can't play this song. I'd still give a solid edge to hendrix though cuz i think his songs are way more creative.

[wizardfan7689]

Well of course Hendrix's songs are way better and more popular than Andy's. Because Andy is not very known, but has amazing talent, I read somewhere that if Jimi was asked to jam with a jazz guitarist, such as joe pass, he would not do it. Cause he said himself that those cats were insane and that he couldn't play that style. And dont get me wrong, Jimi's proublly my favorite guitarist to listen to, becides Clapton.

[dvollrath]

very true. it's all opinion and different styles. maybe in 50 years there'll be another guitarist that the masses will tend to think is the best and most influential. It might even be Andy. After all he's just getting started.

[TheEarthBlues]

Jimi would jam with ANYONE.

[Flozell2000]

Outstanding! Thanks for putting this up so we don't have to listen to all of the absolute shit covers people are posting!

[lemonsquize]

actually listen to this guy hes proprably the best on the site at least at jimi covers taipobryan

[julianomaku]

excellent

[SpinalTracker]

Show 'em Jimi -
