No looking at the guitar!! Guitar on automatic pilot. Countless hours of practice required to achieve this. Playing by instinct and sound alone. His hands are so well atuned to the guitar he knows exactly where he is at any one time, and where to go next to achieve the sound he requires. Pure genius. Loved him then, love him now, always will. A true inspiration to all guitarists the world over, and to those who would pick up a guitar in an attempt to aspire to true genius and perfection as this.

@taariqtaariq I agree. I have that DVD (great disc) and as guitarist and an avid Hendrix fan since the 60's, always wondered how he manages to control his feedback at that volume. My guitar goes feedback nuts if I jack it too loud. I guess maybe it's pretty easy when you are the best axeslinger ever.

@razorx3113 I saw SRV live and the Fabulous Thunderbirds live on a double bill in 1986. Yes Jimmie Vaughan is a better guitarist with an original non Jimi influenced style.

@ilikezappa Robin Trower is not bad Hendrix sound alike. Robin Trower has great Vibrato.

This from 'jimi plays berkeley'. It is a great performance. He controls feedback whilst  playing on 11 the whole time , in a way that is otherworldy .

@skaworld509 Yes....never forget Mitch Mitchell....as Noel Redding rightly stated, 'a very very talented drummer.' Mitch was called Jimi's man.....and he earned that title.He was just as much a part of The Experience as Jimi and Noel, and just as important in producing superb sound as seen here.

@Isidarable I can tell you this.....if you think this is good, actually being there live was incredible. I was with Jimi from day one in the UK....at the Cream university gig when he first played....right up until his death. I have seen lots of comparisons and clap trap about Jimi's capabilities compared to others....but I can tell you this...Jimi was THE REAL DEAL! When you consider what you are seeing here is being produced on 1960's gear, there's only two words, 'musical genius'.

[skaworld509]

Let's not forget Mitch. Excellent drummer and you see him at the end fist pumping

[Isidarable]

@MrMoggyman If you saw him, lucky you! I would give everything to see that.

[MrMoggyman]

@Isidarable going at this speed while not looking at the guitar is something else.....but then again.......when comparing normal guitar playing to Jimi Hendrix, Jimi was always SOMETHING ELSE!! That something else is called GENIUS!! My hero Jimi Hendrix....this track just goes to show what can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and creative ingenuity on electric guitar. Lap it up guys and gals....this is the real deal!! Thank goodness I was priveleged to see Jimi live.
