Jimi Hendrix - catfish blues

[chitown847saviorsoul]

True that ygetup1,,,,,, hendrix is the greatest

[ygetup1]

If Muddy Waters had done a lot of acid he would have sounded like this.

[MrUnknownVariable]

are there salt-water catfish?

[Rustyshacklefization]

@MrUnknownVariable Yes there are ..even if there wasn't though this tune would still kick so much ass

[Daliaprezas]

lo amo 

[MellosK8]

sin duda eres el mejor guitarrista, pero solo guitarrista

[newbluestv1]

Gary Clark Jr. played an awesome version of this at the White House a few weeks ago, and it sent me looking for this video to see Jimi's take. It's unreal. newblues.tv/jimi-hendrix-catfi­sh-blues/

[TheDeathOfCarmine]

jimmi was inspired by LSD, without it his muisc woulnd´t of been this, read it in his biography

[secretguitardiagram]

at secret guitar diagram .com anyone can learn to play this good if they want it

[VERA0055]

Insubstituível!

[xavier3961]

5 dudes wives went fishing and didn't return....Jimi Had Respect for the Blues.

[sjgraemail2]

Well if a six, turned out to be a nine.....

[Blackberry851]

I was seriously born in the wrong time. Gaaaah god why do you have to be so cruel :c

[JamieStarrRevolution]

@Blackberry851 You can say say that again, 14 and hating it :(

[ciapskIad2]

I think, he plays AWESOME!! But Jimi's singing was always crap. At least for me ;(

[ray92yumy]

Era un poco bueno...Solo un poquito jajja

[ryanms22]

@ray92yumy un poco mas que un poco jaja... como dios

[ray92yumy]

@ryanms22 Me molesta cuando se los compara.Yo creo que el es bueno,pero el no es Hendrix

[petitsable]

Simplemente una verga este cabron

[milongero100]

legend



[polymath7]

Easily the best version of this song -and that's saying something.

[cholula88]

@polymath7 seriously? i'm a HUGE hendrix fan, but best version? muddy waters, dude...

[polymath7]

@cholula88 Yeah, seriously. I'm a HUGE Muddy Waters fan, but just listen to that solo from 2:40 to 3:24.

[diegocostarica21]

@polymath7 mmm the best version its the original from robert petway

[tylerchambrez]

i don't think john mayer ate enough catfish haha

[k12modernwarfare]

I think John Mayer ate too much catfish.

[custardpie74]

Absolutely awesome blues- this is the shit man!!

[ThatKidFromClevland]

justin biebers penis size see dislike bar

[fenderkid6]

@ThatKidFromClevland Wow, you're witty AND original aren't you?

[sk8rsurfer]

@Oldspirit189 you shouldn't hate man....hatred is poison. seek love in life and you will be happy. jimi was about one love.....he chilled with people of all colors.

[MegaMac9999]

@Oldspirit189 whoa chill out enjoy WWJD and i don't mean jesus we all love jimi and catfish and i love old fishfry places like that with the old black dude who's in the back cooking up some feel good

[shurdi3]

IDK why but the beginning always reminds me of the original Voodoo Chile (15 minute version not the 8 minute)

[satchitanand6]

the master of magic, noro!!!

[nsdreamer1981]

what, is nobody going to do the "three people, blah blah blah"... or.. "i'm 5 years old and i love this song"??

[luisenriqueromeromay]

0:22 the classical Hendrix yea!

[SquaidsIHave]

i feel like after listening to this an empty part in my life has been filled

[raven1always]

Goddamit I'm horny

[TheNESimplicity]

@Oldspirit189 Why do you assume he/she is white? Gosh, you're not any better!

[waterman1]

This was an Robert Belfour originale, Check it out. I dont't think you can beat the originale.

[hamburglerskates]

@2:27 the intensity grew proportionally to the rate ate which my ear lubricated itself.

[Hendrixcloud]

Wonderful rework of Petway's classic. If you listen to Muddy Water's "Rolling Stone" you can hear the influence there as well.

[DieSuperHigh]

I wish Jimi Hendrix was a cat fish so I could eat him and get high as balls.

[SongHooks1993]

@DieSuperHigh Jimi took drugs but wasnt a HUGE acid head like everyone claims he was read room full of mirrors best book of jimi's life you can get.

[journeyjl]

@DieSuperHigh So you wouldn't eat him for his guitar skills?I would. Shows where your priorities are at.....getting high and that's it lol

[MuddieRain]

@DieSuperHigh WEIRD?????? AND NOT COOL

[johnca619]

@DieSuperHigh ...oh yeah♪ hahahahahahaha, fuuuuck yeah duuuude...you must be high! oh yeeeah!☺Peace

[christheman593]

I wish I was a catfish so jimi could sing about me!

[lotorobly]

i started with vangelis, then went to blues, John Lee was there. I clicked on Catfish. What next - I think I'll get into Woodstock again

[carlobluesriver]

2 people without soul !

[kermicheo]

yeah brother

this lonely world screwed me over many times

I wish, I wish, I was a catfish

swimming in the deep blue sea........................... oh well..........oh well

[chupacabra20]

me cries jimi

[jaceo187]

robert petway

[rippkurlzable]

@imcnevindude if u hit a bowl with ur car u should careful, you might pop a tire.

[Thedeadspace13]

Hey people what if jimi turned into a catfish when he died?Someone could eat him!So thats why we should stop eating catfish!!!!

[pntherowns]

@Thedeadspace13 maybe we should keep eating catfish til one of us has Jimi become a part of us.

[Thedeadspace13]

@pntherowns True true

[zny93]

@pntherowns not jimi but the blues as an essence

[lascosasqsevan]

2 personas no tienen sentido común. Que lastima me dan al no saber valorar una excelente pieza musical de la mano de grandes del ROCK

[robertlete]

Nice transition from Mitch Mitchel! Jimi is the soul of blues and sound effects.

[SupernalOne]

great version, though i still prefer Rory Gallagher & Taste doing this song - I suppose because I heard them do it first -

[bucketrance]

those 2 dislikes r from catfishes who are on the dinner table ready to b eaten

[Aswefly]

Only Jimi can release a song 40 years after his death.

[PelicanGodOfJupiter]

@Aswefly I reckon Tupac will give it a crack in 2036...

[briams74]

@Aswefly wonderful no word to explain

[heyheyheyden]

You think that this is badass, then listen to some Robert Petway now thats some real blues.

[swaumpman]

@heyheyheyden shut the fuck up

[swaumpman]

@heyheyheyden shut the fuck up

[heyheyheyden]

@swaumpman y so angry this is robert petways song jimi hendrix made a nice cover of it but robert petway made the orginal catfish blues. now don't u diss petway his song catfish blues inspired heaps of blues and rock musicians such as hendrix and muddy waters.

[Kstylie420]

@heyheyheyden he said shut the fuck up, didnt diss rob, you came off disrespecful to jimi, stop trying to troll people on blues pages.

[PLEASANTDesigns]

[MrSmartComment]

Holy F that drum solo killed it . DnB 70's style :D

[KevinKronz]

Gives me goose bumps no one does it like jimi music lacks the real heart and soul it used to have you can just feel it in the music.

[hardgreenhorn]

thanks so much for posting - this is Awesome!!

[vanfo35]

I can't believe there are only 3 dislikes vs. 615 likes. There are way more people that have no taste. What do you want to hear? Justin Bieber? Yeah, he really gets down.

[TexianPride]

What the hell catfish is he eating from the sea...

[dragon3600000]

@TexianPride

magical ones

[TexianPride]

@dragon3600000 Must be lol

[kaylee932]

@TexianPride the blues kind lol

[Kullg4r]

Nice little drum solo in this song too.

[MrUnknownVariable]

oh, I LOVE the little Voodoo Chile riffs he slips into this song! it's like sex.

[sebz661]

I could never get enough of this.

[Intheflesh44]

Hendrix uses a lot of lines from other blues artists, the one about "my husband just now left" is a muddy waters song.

[jgcaesar4]

@Intheflesh44 Catfish Blues is an old blues song first recorded by Robert Petway in 1941. All those types of lines are used over and over by the great bluesmen.

[Intheflesh44]

@jgcaesar4 thanks for the info dude

[MrRaif09]

Nobody I mean nobody play like my man Jimi! Seattle baby! Yeah homeboy

[TheParamountPrincess]

awesome!!!!

[TheJmccrea]

haha jimi definetly wouldnt get caught and put in the grocery store he would be the most mystical fuckin catfish

[mcrenren]

best song to jam to stoned

[dexterromweber]

I've been fryin catfish all day at work and get this... seriously i work with an old black guy who kinda looks like muddy waters and his name is Catfish! no one even knows his real name...we all just know him as catfish...

[Chamomileable]

@dexterromweber Maybe Muddy just went into hiding and never died. He just got tired of the limelight :)

[str8OuttaNaptown30]

@dexterromweber LMAO!!!

[codehendrix]

@dexterromweber what r u a fisherman?

[traveller89]

@dexterromweber once in a while great people got reincarnated like that, heh.

[ClassicRockfan79]

@dexterromweber man no lie i would love some catfish, fries,  side of slaw and a beer right now. lol

[TheStormtrooperrr]

e flat?

[ruscle123]

@TheStormtrooperrr yes

[TheStormtrooperrr]

@ruscle123 lol tnx man.i had to tune it down

[thenotinbrazil]

@TheStormtrooperrr yeah 1/2 step down tuning for all jimi hendrix's songs

[PianoMan347]

@thenotinbrazil what? I don't think ALL of his songs... What about Purple Haze or Hey Joe??? I mean i'm not trying to start a huge debate or anything but just wonderin... are you sure?

[TheStormtrooperrr]

@thenotinbrazil hey joe is on standard though and wind cries mary.idk about little wing

[thenotinbrazil]

@TheStormtrooperrr

@PianoMan347

well i havent researched you know but watchtower, voodoo child and little wing... the ones i looked the tabs up were all 1/2 step down so i just like automatically started believin that was applied to all his songs you know

never even considered some of them wouldnt be 1/2 step down, then i take back what i said, it was just i thought... and just looked up purple haze and it seems its standard so yeah you guys were right, i wasnt lying i just thought i knew

[atraindain]

2 catfish dislike this song.

[Dianu234]

Well I wish i culd play guitar like that !!

[Brandon18valensi]

@Dianu234 all the world wish that

[sporeaddict056]

who in their right mind can dislike jimi?

[thismayhurt23]

woooowwwwwww.....thats all i can say...

[kraupie]

the twang, the bend, and the rythem haha best thing ever

[MrFireblade67]

I love the way Jimi closes out this song. With that little shuffle thing at the end. I keep wondering how it sounds so awesome, and I kind of think it's because just before he gets to that bit he'd done a couple of major moves on the whammy bar. Being a strat it's put out the tuning ever so slightly which makes that closing bit sound really mean and moody. I don't no another guitarist that could still make his guitar sound awesome even when it was droppin' out of tune. The guy was one class act

[SuperBettyswollocks]

2 people dislike this and were searching for dustbin beaver ...aka justin beiber

may their fuckwitisms follow them for an eternity of such magnitude it will take the likes of Einstein to return and measure it.

gOD LOVES xıɹpuǝɥ ıɯıɾ

[CamDrummerDude]

Mitch Mitchell's drumsticks disliked this video.

[chriscody93]

2 people dislike that their computer's speakers dont work.

[soulleskill]

2 people think they are catfish's 

[ihaveallseeingeyes]

awsome cover.

[masercot]

What a bogus song!

Women do not fish...ESPECIALLY for salt water catfish. No, this isn't right...it isn't right at all...

But, that guitar kicks something and that something is plenty of ass. Go Jimi!

[sk8rbuoi]

@masercot its called a metaphor dude lol and also this was written by muddy waters I believe before Jimi did it. Those old blues guys said some crazy shit. Robert Johnson has a song where he says "I'm gon' get up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my broom." The fuck does that mean?

[masercot]

@sk8rbuoi It's true that America has gotten so stupid that sarcasm and irony can no longer be used. 

Leadbelly sings a song about his "pretty little flower" and I have learned from that, if you don't know what the metaphor is, assume sex (Diddy Wah Diddy) or penis...

[Jcub90]

@masercot is it true you are sostupid you think we're all american

[masercot]

@Jcub90 If someone uses the word, "dude" and swears profusely, I assume that English is their first language. If someone doesn't know that there is a space between "so" and "stupid" and doesn't know how to punctuate a sentence, I assume that English is NOT their first language...

[Jcub90]

@masercot i think you are a clown ; you think u are smart. Look i used a semi colon english is my first language. I think u are are phantasmagorical example of someone who thinks they are smarter than everone else and me a 15 year old kid.

[masercot]

@Jcub90 I take it back. You are brilliant, son...

[Jcub90]

@masercot  arent u funny

[lewars1912]

@sk8rbuoi I think "Dust My Broom" was meant to shake off the old. Make a new/clean start. Strange metaphor I know, lol.

[singlechuck]

He could do what he wanted to with the guitar. It's that simple. I love his music.

[mikeusat]

I was thinking about this song when I was buying catfish at the grocery store the other day. Then I thought, if Jimi was a catfish, would I be eating Jimi?

[tedrobcool]

@mikeusat haha love it

[coolcatjerk]

@mikeusat holy shit you stink, whyd you think to post this?

[mikeusat]

@coolcatjerk

I see Jimi Hendrix's love and creativity is alive a well in coolcatjerk ;)

[bnbfalcon]

@mikeusat LOL, probably not.. You might keep him in a tub with a amp, and guitar.

[woodtick71]

@mikeusat if he was he'd be the coolest catfish ever swam the river

[mcwolves71]

@mikeusat

You'd be eating Muddy

[SteelShredd]

@mikeusat corny...

[SOB044]

@mikeusat you wouldn't be able to digest him

[poolpig]

@mikeusat I think Hendrix would be a wise catfish yknow the one that got away but I really doubt he'd be here on earth anymore. and I do see the humor in your post but......... I see the serious side too!

[bluesman8998]

@mikeusat mong

[ChiskoJuanisimo]

Multi Eargasm!!!!!!!

[MsBoko09]

most kick ass song in the world!

[MsBoko09]

most kick ass song in the world!



[lakid87]

was this the influence for "badfish" by Sublime? id like to think so

[WoodbineProductions1]

@lakid87 Man I love that song but I think Sublimes influences were more Bob Marley and other reggae artists man this is more like rock n roll/blues.

[clarkcu00]

Mitch Mitchell Kills it!

He's rockin' that great gig in the sky now i'm sure.

[jonnyhendrixson]

hes in the groove on this one!

[whymedude2]

those were the days where life was better on earth than in heaven.

God himself is now a big fan.

[TheDegracado]

Why the hell when i type a "J" to write "Jimi hendrix", the first sugest is Justin bieber?

[corpralkirsch]

@TheDegracado what this is bull shit

[paintballin878]

jimi hendrix is my idol. im a simple kid 14 live in the suburbs of newyork but man i fuckin love how a man can physically but his emotions into the sound of a guitar what a beautiful man everyday i do my best to walk in this mans foot prints maybe not as a musican but as a loving, kind, decent human being

[megajames3000]

@paintballin878 you were in me a couple of years ago. people thought i was obssessed with them. and now i just imagine what i would say to them if i was prepared. im not in the burbs, but it's nice. jam out man. we need more teens to spread the word nobody understands what they're missing
