This is Jimi playing in the Isley Brothers backing band (circa 1965?). Jimi was so broke at the time that the Isley Brothers had to buy him a new set of guitar strings for the initial audition! I presume Jimi must've got the gig in the end!
Jimi is the guy right next to the drummer. You never really get a full shot of him. There is a brief view of the 2nd guitarist however. Wonderful rootsy R&B!
I LOVE the song, but that dance is about the funniest thing I've ever seen! lolll...Especially when the left Isley breaks out the invisible shot gun. :-D heeeee heee heeee
One of Jimi's amazing talents was being able to play rhythm & lead guitar simultaneously. His years of touring behind groups like this paid off! Go Johnny Go!
That's a Fender Jazmaster he's playing. He's playing it upside down, strung left handed. Jimi had a strong background as a touring backup musician. Great video.

P.S.: It is possible that this video shows Hendrix backing Sam & Dave and not the Isley Brothers as I previously stated. Sorry!
