Experience Hendrix tour 2010 with Ernie Isley...... Many people on the floor said the sound was low but it was blasting away upstairs. A small bass adjustment on your computer equalizer and this video is awesome.
@mysterybat35: This guy responded to my post too. This cat is trolling As evidenced by his absurd comment. Not to feed into this mess.. as you pointed out the time lines simply don't match up. Ernie, born in 1952 is 10 younger than Hendrix and hadn't yet picked up the guitar when was a sideman for the Isley's which was probably around 1964 or 65'. This guy won't be able to provide one iota a proof to the contrary. SMDH...
@43wella also... Hendrix received his first guitar way before he met the Isley Brothers and started playing in their band. If this is your way of saying you like Ernie better than Jimi Hendrix then maybe I can understand that but still..
@43wella No offense but are you high?. Look, Ernie influenced ME to play guitar so I know a LOT about him ok. Jimi had his part in influencing Ernie although Ernie never received formal lessons from him (see Arsenio interview). I don't believe for 1 sec that Ernie influenced Hendrix to play guitar. That doesn't even make sense. Ernie was playing little league baseball when Hendrix resided with the Isley family and played with older brothers Ron, Rudolph and O'Kelly. Show me the proof.
People you will never know that Ernie was the influence because they do not want you to know...but years ago in a documentary Hendricks said so...but you will not see today.
@electrixladyland69.. Yeap that is his 3rd Zeal strat. His wife Tracie got his first 2 made for him. not sure about this white one. I wouldn't say his 70's era playing is the "best" but its just different. To me his skills developed even more thru the years. The stuff he has been playing from about '95-present seems to have more harmonics and notebends, etc. what hasn't really changed is his pentatonic solo's... even though they stay the same he makes it sound good everytime!
@kstrat lol
