  • @dreekd80 That is only if you can't play and you need a bunch of fancy smancy equitment. ok. i was just trying to inform anyone who was interested how to get that sound. but if it makes you feel good to shit on me... do what you do brother.

  • if you play guitar and you want the Hendrix/B.O.G. sound, you need these:

    a Strat or really any Fender other than a Tele; a tube amp (a Marshall if you really want to be authentic); a Fuzzface pedal; a crybaby wah; a vibe pedal (BBE Soul Vibe, Moen Shaky Jimi, Fulltone UniVibe, any of those or another will do); a good Octave pedal (octave up).

    I've got all that shit (Strat thru PV Delta Blues 115, bbe soul vibe, red fuzzface, MicroPOG octave, ERnie Ball wah) and it sounds friggin GREAT!!!!!!!!

  • @dreekd80 i can get strat tones outta my tele everyday.

  • @KAWT1 I can't. but as was previously stated, I can't play. I need a lot of "fancy shmancy" crap to convey the notion that I can play more than three notes. Anyway, I think Strats and Teles sound completely different.

  • thanks

  • How the fuck can 3 out or 393 dislike this?

  • there are 3 insane people in this world who don't like this song?

  • This was my 2011 summer song. Cruising late at night getting high and vibing with my man Jimi. Wish he was still here with us, R.I.P.

  • and i tought hendrix only could play the blues?

  • very current, Bro -

  • One of my favourite Hendrix songs.

  • @edmedmoped Same for me - and IMHO one of his best songs - and one of his most underrated too !

  • I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert in Allentown, PA and used to listen as my cousins jammed to his music in their living room.

  • Yes you are right, i saw the electric lady docu. Thanx

  • So soulfull.... That great clean strat sound.. And he did all the vocal parts himself.!

    HERO....!!!!!!

  • @Staziish he probably played the bass too ... listen to the bouncy line ... that's him 

  • @patfurlan Whoa! Don't dis' Noel Redding. Class bass player!

  • hes so clearn spot on, not a murkey night in site

  • The record producers have sucked the life out of music in pursuit of the almighty dollar. Maybe after the country has crashed and burned, another era like the 60's will rise from the ashes.

  • @added23 i totally agree! good perspective! i guess people just wish they had grown up in the era when this music BLEW UP the radio and record stores. heck, i think i should have been born in the '60s. my parents were DAMN LUCKY to be able to grow up during the time of Hendrix, Mercury, McCartney, Lennon, Starr, Harrison, Joplin, etc etc etc!!!!

  • @charangel316 Strummer, Lydon, and Ramone

  • that guitar. why arent there churches worshipping this man? HE'S AMAZING

  • @theimagesharper probably cause he was just a human with a huge imagination and talent

  • @theimagesharper because he took drugs. church don't like drugs.

  • i like this song lol :D

  • I dont complain to be in my generation. (MY GENERATION....) Its the best I can possibly imagine. Complain everybody after that.

  • @Cleo2706 Sorry, I mean I PITTY everybody after us...

  • Comment removed

  • i love this tune

  • un 10!!!!!! (Y)

  • ten minutes till midnight and it's 83 degrees outside while i'm listening to this song :D

  • I'am listening it for the first time, it sounds marvellous.

    Music had incredible involution in the last 20 years, there is almost nothing that is worth to listen.

    Well at least there is internet, so we can enjoy the glourious past of rock'n'roll easily.

  • fudge it

    

  • I saw Jimi twice in my life. ONce at Winterland in 1968 and again a couple months before he became a Voodoo Child in Berkeley 1970. Sure wish he was alive today then America would really have talent.

  • @PhukIT1865 All I can say is that I envy you. I wasn't born until 81.

  • @TheButlerDidIt81 man i wasn't born til 97! haha

  • Some of the best music ever This is realll music !!hiting my 6foot bong as I listen to this!

  • Listening to Jimi i'm high before i even light my spliff

  • @masterknaster then its not because him lol

  • Still love this after 40 years, I regret that I never saw him live

  • @Darkneuromancer1 I was only three when he passed. I never had the chance, but it is because of him that I decided in my teens that I just HAD to get me a Stratocaster...

  • Still love this after 40 years

  • still great !!!

    and the telephone keeps on screemin'

  • still great !!!

  • love the feel and rhythm of this song, one of the best

  • meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow

  • I've always likes this track. It has no real no chorus or hook but I dig the vibe. It's pretty original. I heard this when I was 6 - my brother 10 years older than me played all this sort of stuff so it seeped into my consciousness at a very tender age.

  • Got the vinyls (European and US versions) and TWO CDs of ELECTRIC LADYLAND + the DVD, but I prefer to listen to it on YouTube, with Jimi's fans family !!! "Long Hot Summer Night" is one of my favorites !!! At 01:55 ss I'm really taking off !...

  • @zorbazig wait... so y did u buy the records in the 1st place then.

  • hendrix man. people complain that it sucks to live in our generation but i think its pretty awesome. we get to witness jimi hendrix, and other bands of the 50, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and truly appreciate how great that music is because of the shit thats currently on tv and radio.

  • @added23 i kinda agree! it just sucks that we cant see them live.....but at least the music never died (and it never will)!

  • @added23 What you said makes sense, except for the fact that the quality of life is declining and never getting the chance to experience those artists live.

  • @NocturnalCucumber well ive got to see some really amazing bands live. ive seen cage the elephant, the black keys and numerous local bands. im not saying that i wouldnt have LOVED to see hendrix, zep, or beatles live, but we have some pretty cool perks that we live in our time and find it so easy to discover a shit load of bands that we never wouldve if we lived 20-30 years ago.

  • @added23 I was born in 71, and happen to be a professional musician myself, so I've been attuned to music from a super early age....I grew up with the best music, and through all my studies and research have been exposed to the best of the best. I totally agree with your statement. Thanks to YT we get access to all this incredible stuff now that would have been so much harder to find back then. Not only that, but it makes it so much easier for us to share and introduce music to each other.

  • @originaltommy yup. the internet is taken for granted a lot.

  • @added23 mate i agree and i am 13, i love all of the old day rock and roll

  • @added23 gotta love a comment that stars with "hendrix man."

  • @StickyInADarkBlueCut haha. gotta love a picture of a fat nug

  • @added23 well said!

  • @conrizzo thank you sir.

  • @added23 wow that is an awesome perspective.. it's just the fact we can't see them live but i doubt we would have anyway

  • @eldeano1 sometimes its hard to listen to all these great bands without feeling shame that we werent around during those times, but many times we forget how fortunate we are to witness ALL this great music. but yea it does suck that we dont get to see them live. i suggest getting out there and seeing modern bands too. theres still some great music. i recommend cage the elephant, the black keys, mgmt, john frusciante, miniature tigers, radio moscow, arctic monkeys, and witchcraft

  • @added23 GREAT Point!

  • @GibsonDeAndre thanks man. check out newest song /watch?v=oIytisdPEKc&feature=c­hannel_video_title

    i feel like posting it on a hendrix page is probably wiser than posting anywhere else. im just looking for opinions from people who enjoy music that pushes creative boundaries. many people liked what i had to say so maybe you guys will enjoy the sounds from my head. thanks for all who check it out

  • Comment removed

  • @added23 your fucking awesome i hate when 18 19 year old kids like me complain about music when we have more great bands

  • @mrXXrauf182XX haha thanks. did you check out my tunes?

  • Play on Drummer...

  • Enjoy while you can...Jimi hooked us up to Make Something New...

  • Jimi had swag before it went mainstream

  • Jimi was murdered because he was a major CIA COINTELPRO 60's anti-war political target AND he was sending lawyers to the CIA's most sensitive secret banks in the Bahamas where his MI-5 manager was depositing his stolen money. Jimi was murdered because not only would he have exposed the fact CIA was tapping him through Jeffery but that the banks themselves were part of this critical Cold War operation. CIA then murdered Jeffery in a plane crash to keep any investigation from figuring this out.

  • @Exiles800 Easy on the Acid man

  • @skovie23232 There's always trolls out there willing to show they can't intelligently face the real facts behind Hendrix's murder. I despise these people because, ultimately, they work for and help Jimi's murderers and are ultimately saying, indirectly, that they don't really care if Jimi was murdered or not or why. I can prove every single thing I wrote. I think trolls can't disprove it and that's what bothers them, because it makes them feel guilty over their worthlessness towards Jimi.

  • @Exiles800 Dude It was a joke, get your crazy ass another place to rant and your pussy a heavy flow tampon you fucking loon

  • @skovie23232 Jimi Hendrix's murder is not a joke.

  • @Exiles800 Yes, I am a Secret Government Agent, ID:19087700, Name: John Smithie, you are a clever one, you have discovered out plots to take over the world, Now prepare to die, there will be heavy artillery on your hometown and everyone reading this will know the dangers of fucking with us.

  • @skovie23232 Like I said, trolls usually mock the evidence. Serious Hendrix fans don't.

  • @Exiles800 what does your Imaginary girlfriend say about this?

  • @shlongface100 I don't do troll, sorry. The Hendrix murder is for serious people only (which excludes you).

  • @Exiles800 Oh no, not me. Somebody needs a little more excitement in their life.

  • @Exiles800 Ok man

  • One of my favourite songs by the man.

  • he was killed, forced drowned with liquor by individuals, he was killed because he made to much of an influence his voice and music was so powerful and the people who had him killed knew that. forced over dose and drowning with liquor

  • @Roumelmax Right On, there are different stories on WHY he was murdered, but the fact that he was murdered is unarguable.

  • @Roumelmax Just out of curiosity, where did u get your information from. 

  • he did not die because of LSD... he had a cocaine overdose and than he drown with his own puke.

  • @Cotias They were his girlfriends sleeping pills actually. He was depressed and obviously having trouble sleeping

  • @Cotias youre completely wrong... it was sleeping pills and wine my man

  • Comment removed

  • There's like a sinister, masterful cool jazz machination to that intro and bottom rhythm that can't be put to words and usually ends up just being called genius. It's weird how many combinations of cutting edge sound Jimi could juggle within the same song and successfully put it all together so naturally. Jimi sass shays an R&B number across the top of an innovative urban mechanical jazz groove with gospel falsettos and grinding guitar sounds that hit you deep and grab you.

  • @Exiles800 "Sinister" isn't exactly the right word. It's almost as if Jimi has conjured and released the tiki spirit of the guitar itself and allowed it to express its buzzing elfin spirit in sound as if Jimi had captured the actual soul of the guitar itself.

  • @Exiles800 That could not have been said any better!! My head spins while listening to this song. First the lead guitar licks punches me in the face, then the rhythm guitar kicks me in the balls. Once im just about on my knees, the bass guitar puts me in a headlock, then finally the drums just puts a bullet in my head. This song is beethoven like!!

  • the lick from 1:42 - 1:50. eargasm.

  • Jimi playing all intruments (except for Mitch and Al Kooper), and doing all the vocals. They sure don't make 'em like him anymore.

  • Strange dayz for me and this album. the cut 1983 was a real mind blower when smoking the right stuff.

  • Society doesn't want to believe successful people are successful without some drug.

  • Hendrix rarely, if ever did hard drugs. He did smoke marijuana, but not as often as everyone thought he did.

    Hendrix was scared to death of LSD and Meth, because he actually knew that the duo would kill you.

    For all of you that belive that he O.D'd, he didn't. He choked on vomit in his sleep after partying. Such a tragic death.

  • @MrJettJester same thing happened to Bon Scott RIP TO BOTH

  • @MrJettJester dude jimi was not scared to death of lsd a lot of his songs were inspired by lsd and he smoked a shit load of weed like the rest of the hippies even the Beatles did lsd and smoked weed

  • @MrJettJester Hendrix used a lot of LSD until at least 1969, and there are no reports of acid ever killing anyone. I'm pretty sure that crystal meth wasn't really around back then. He hot caught with heroin at an airport but claimed it was planted on him and won his court battle.

    Regardless of his drug intake, he was an awesome musician.

  • @VanDoodah the heroin was planted on him there was a witness read: the intimate story of a betrayede musical legend by sharon lawrence. its amazing and shows a side of jimi nobody but sharon knew and its very sincere and suck you in as if you were jimi or sharon. amazing book. and most people here should read it they are very confuseddd

  • @MrJettJester its proven that he o.ded he took 9 (his lucky number) of some girls (she was unaware) pills and drank heavily on red wine (that he dliked) and died. the woman there (her pills) at the time wasnt too conserned but ended up spilling everying to jimis closest friend sharon lawrence. and this was taken into court. dont believe me read: jimi hendrix the intimate story of a betrayede musical legend by sharon lawrence. (its amazing)

  • hendrix: such a HUGE drug-addict.... right... hendrix took SSOOOOO many drugs.... yeah... right.

    hendrix was just an irresponsible drug-addict. right,

    hendrix just did drugs, and that's how he composed this entire album: Electric-Lady-land. cuz hendrix was SSOOOO eff'ed up on drugs 24-7

    and that's the only way he was able to compose this entire album.... cuz he was so eff'd up on hard-core drugs 24-7-365.... right, right. hendrix was such a collossal drug-taker.... right.... keep believing

  • im going in my basement and finding this record

  • listen to this in deep heat..perfect!

  • listen to jimi on the bass! I bought the bass transcriptions to this album and you can tell which ones noel or jimi plays because jimi's are twice as hard lol he could have been a one of the great bass players. I guess a musician is a musician.

  • 1:59-2:19= EARGASM, my favorite Jimi Hendrix verse out of all of his songs. The lead guitar on that verse makes my head spin its so damn good. IMO this is his most underrated song, i have not seen one cover of this song on youtube.

  • This song is so good through both headphones on full volume. As soon as i get my vinyl im doing the exact same thing, vinyls sound so gooooood.

  • melody sounds a little Beatles inspired with a big ass dash of Hendrix, and thats not a bad thing :]

  • Hey, The Man was an original, worried that other people could play better than he, (like that could happen) and couldn't write or read music. But his lyrics and style can never be bettered! Saw him in 1967. What an Experience!

  • Jimi was hardcore but soft & mellow, soulful, funky, metaphysical poet, humorous, self-depricating, visionary, earthy but celestial, casual cool but socially conscious.

    But, most of all he loved music and life and no one expressed that better than he did.

  • There are no words majestic enough to capture the precious influence he has had on millions of people...

  • RIP James Marshall Hendrix, who passed 40 years ago today. Pure guitar genius, the like of which we'll never see again.

  • @WerdnaCourt not true.

  • R.I.P

    

  • omg i forgot this song even existed, another to add to the hendrix worship section of my collection

  • this is awesome... I love when hendrix gets girls to sing back up. and that last part with the tremolo picking was sweet

  • @TheDragonfly1987 I'm pretty sure Jimi did the falsetto background vocals himself - they talk about it on the "Behind the scenes" DVD - his engineer, Eddie Kramer, says Jimi had a great falsetto

  • @SpyridonKaprinis Yeah your right.... could he read music? The other day this dude was trying to tell me all "signed" musicians have to be able to read music.I dont think so

  • Love the ending of this song.

  • Blogging to Jimi right now! Talk about inspiration....

  • If you guys want the FULL experience of this song, get your hands on an unused vinyl copy, find some Bad Ass vintage Hi-Fi stereo and play it as loud as you can handle.

    Thank you for the upload, my CD's and Vinyl's are far far away, so YouTube comes to my rescue every day :)

  • Outasight brought me here FTW

  • Anybody know of any other classic rock albums similar to this one? ;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;l­kj;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj­;lkj;lkjl;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj;­lkj;lkj;lkj

    tanks jimi ...R I P ,

  • Man, I gotta buy this album on vinyl.

  • is this song in standard tuning?

  • a 1/2 step down, that's how i play it

  • @added23 ah man who cares how it's tuned just play it the way you want to play it not how jimi would or how some one else would, hell look what jimi did to all along the watchtower i mean just play it

  • @fliping2ninja haha do u play guitar man? you need to know the tuning in order to play the song. and all along the watchtower is in standard tuning for every version. jimi didnt change the tuning from dylans version. u dont know what ur talking about

  • @added23 flipingninja was jsut tryin ta say that jimi threw his own twist onto a song that wasnt his. calmn down bro

  • @jzane913 i wanted to know what tuning it was in. not some gay little speech telling me to just play the song

  • Very smooth; love those hooks!! Been a fan 20+ years and this is one of my long-time favorites.

  • Also, best use of the lyrics "woop woop woop woop" in a song, EVER.

  • can't argue with that sir

  • @alreadywoundpie it's roof..roof..roof..roof..e.i. "two candycane roofs" at least in the first verse. after that...who knows??

  • One of his all-time best IMO...although ironically it's a lot cooler than hot.

  • This has to be one of the coolest songs ever made.!!You can really feel the heat!

    I have this on vinyl :D:D

  • Sexy beautiful song, man.

  • Hello said my shaky voice well how you doing .. Well can't you tell i'm doing fine .. Amazing guitar .. Amazing man .. pure Genius .. *****

  • my favourite alltime hendrix song :)

    thanks for posting

  • great song, too bad its just a matter of time b4 YT remove this vid, copyrights.

  • I know! That's what happened to the other Hendrix I had up!!

  • @thatmoustache

    Your only option to try and keep it on longer would be to pretend the vid's up for people to see lyrics. That works, most of the time.

  • @GodfatherOfSweden and one year later....

  • @GodfatherOfSweden yo man the fucka lasted a year so far if only it lasted as long as jimis music would last.................... a fucking lifetime!?!?!?!?!

  • @GodfatherOfSweden not yet thank god!!!!

  • wosssssshhhh Thank You!!

  • Extremely great ! what a melody !!!!

    I wonder how could someone create such tunes back in the 60's. He was such a genius.

    R.I.P JIMI

  • @jeanstylo

    more than a genius.....

  • @jeanstylo ill tell u how, lots and lots of acid

  • @jeanstylo You don't need to be a genius to make good music, just sing what comes from the heart. Hendrix had passion for his music unlike the people today with their computerized voices.

  • @jeanstylo

    He's alive, can't you hear Him ?!
