“All Along The Watchtower”, originally a Bob Dylan tune, but after Jimi Hendrix did his own version, Bob said the song belonged to Jimi from there on out.

Yes, "All Along The Watchtower" is an absolutely Iconic Jimi Hendrix performance (Studio Version PLEASE!) The song was written by BOB DYLAN but, after Bob heard Jimi's version, he himself has said that when he performs his own song, he feels like he is doing a tribute to Jimi Hendrix.

You should check out a different side of Hendrix with "Rainy Day, Dream Away." It's cool and jazzy but still psychedelic! With Buddy Miles on drums and Mike Finnigan on organ. You could also include the second half of the recording, "Still Raining, Still Dreaming" that was split into two tracks for some dubious reason.

You need to check out the Band if Gypsy's, Hendrix at his funkiest. How many guitarists did Hendrix influence? When Jimi went to London in 1966, Clapton, Beck and Townsend were astonished. The story is told that Clapton fell into a deep depression, and Beck was ready to hang up his career. Townsend was to numb to speak. Basically, Hendrix established a new precedent for guitarists.

Jimi is my favorite guitarist, and I have a long list. btw, it's very hard to find his music on YT because it's so heavily copyrighted; his step sister, Janie Hendrix, now owns his estate and music catalog and won't let hardly anything get through. You really have to buy his records (CD's, etc.) if you want to dive into his music and it's well worth it! I recommend Axis Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland for starters.

Hi, Mary! Was late to the comments & just happened to see yours, & guess would b hard to find mine, but I became friends with Billy Cox working at a public access tv station in my 20's n early 2000's where he had a show. Sure you know who that is, but most don't know Nashville was Jimi's training ground for 5 yrs before hitting it big. There's a MUST SEE interview from Musician's Hall of Fame YT Channel Billy Cox "Little Known Facts About Hendrix" (31+ min), & can find Jimi's very 1st tv appearance as a back-up player on Nashville tv show, "Jimi Hendrix Night Train 1965." It was the inspiration for later Soul Train! ✌😎❤

I’ve been requesting this artist for awhile now , Johnny Lang,41 years,been playing music since he was a teenager. He was 16 when he released first album Lie to Me, his genre is American Blues,gospel,rock,he’s a singer songwriter and five of his albums charted in the top 50 of the Billboard 200. He will blow your mind when you hear him . He’s up there with the other GOATS

[@stevemillar4248]

Hold your horses, there! I've been a Jonny Lang fan since the Lie To Me EP. I'm in my third decade of enjoying people's reactions when I'm playing "Darker Side" for them and I casually let them know that those are the gorgeous, sophisticated vocals of a true professional who will be old enough to drive himself to the studio in another couple of albums. When somebody plays me a "song" by one of these recent "singers" whose "singing" is actually digital output phoned in by a laptop running auto-tune and a few filters, I play Jonny's live "Groundhog Day" for them and encourage them to give it a try at karaoke next time. But Jonny himself would be the first to protest his inclusion in any GOAT discussions. He's great, but he's not woven into the fabric of the human evolutionary timeline like Hendrix, who has been blowing minds and changing lives for more than half a century already.

[@gtrgar4561]

Before becoming the solo artist we know and love, Jimi Hendrix was a sideman for several bands. In '64 he was with the King Kasuals. While they were Seattle, Jimi saw Butch Snipes "play" with his teeth. Alphonso Young a second guitar player in the Kasuals, also played with his teeth. Alphonso saw the technique used while he was in Tennessee. There are some citations of T-Bone Walker as the originator of playing with your teeth, but from my experience and observations, other may have been doing it around the same time. Guitar players are always coming up with different ways to get the strings to vibrate (hit them with drumsticks, violin bows, tapping/pull offs with fingers tips, finger picking, coins, guitars picks made with all kinds of materials, along with assorted electronic devices just to name a few). Jimi went on to play with Wilson Pickett, Ike and Tina Turner, the Isley Brothers, Little Richard and others. 🎸😎

[@rwfrench66GenX]

Great reaction! I’m from the city so my favorite Jimi song is Crosstown Traffic. A movie for your other channel is Across The Universe which is a musical of Beatles songs while being set in the 60’s and there’s a guy who is supposed to be Jimi and a girl who is supposed to be Janis Joplin but they don’t have their names. The more you know about The Beatles and the 60’s the more you’ll enjoy the genius of this music. The actors actually do the singing too!

I attended his April 11 1969 concert in Raleigh NC. I'll never forget the "experience". Interesting trivia...they nailed the drum set to the stage prior to the performance and then had to renail the drums at intermission. Only three band members but they put out some soundwaves!!!

[@runarbjaaland9083]

It's easy to take his technique for granted . That riff shows of his right hand plectrum skill which doesn't miss a note - actually very hard to do, and yes he does it effortlessly. He is the guitarists guitarist. As a kid I tried to copy his songs, (it was cheaper than buying records) and was blown away by how hard it was to play his songs. His crazy sounds were always rooted in following a melody which made his sound so musical. Lots of layers with this guy.

It's at Greenwood Cemetery. It's a marble gazebo with a guitar in the center. His portraits on the side with his hand written songs etched into it. Purple flowers are planted around the outside. Lots of people leave pics in the guitar. Lots of lipstick kisses from people. Um yeah not from me even though I love his music. There is a statue in Seattle.

Purple Haze" ...The makes a great segue , Great artist he was a major influence on...None greater influence that he had on , Prince ..you listen to.

[@jessortiz8181]

I have to honesty admit that I have never heard this particular track from Jimi Hendrix before. Thank you guys for reacting to Lover Man that was an awesome song no doubt cuz it was by Jimi Hendrix. It must have been one of his deep cuts? Cuz just like y'all I was just listening to the song too. I got lost in my own world when that song was playing. Jimi Hendrix is one of my influences as far as guitar is concerned but so are a lot of others. If 6 was 9 is my top fave song by Jimi Hendrix. David Gilmore from Pink Floyd is another influence of mine. David Gilmore has a very unique talent with playing Shine on you crazy diamond as well as Have a cigar, and Wish you were here. Robby Krieger from the Doors is another influence cuz I love how he makes the song People are Strange sound like he is strumming rubberbands. But my very top influence on guitar is the Zoso man himself Jimmy Page from Led-Zeppelin. I am recently practicing one of his songs atm on my guitar. The song is called Over the Hills and far away from Led-Zeppelin's 5th studio album Houses of the Holy that came in 1973.

My ex husband was a huge Jimi Hendrix fan and I really didn't know much about him when I was growing up. I grew up in a pretty WASP environment on the beaches of So Cal. Listened to all the British invasion bands and west coast bands. After we married, he really wanted to introduce me to a lot of black performers. Jimi was the first we listened to and it was really memorable. He is consistently voted best guitarist on Rolling Stones lists and I can remember asking my husband, surely in the last 60 years, there has been someone at least as good or better. When my husband told me that since Jimi was left handed and it was before they started making left and right handed guitars, he played the guitar upside down. Now that is talent!

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

There was before Jimi, then after, 1967 remember. He blew open all constraints. EVERYBODY else built on top of his lead. Listen to live Machine Gun from live Band of Gypsys, one of the greatest live guitar songs ever recorded. Someone else suggested Rainy Day Dream Away / Still Rainin' Still Dreamin --- great tracks, very jazzy transitioning to full blow Hendrix psychedelic blues workout. One of his best.

But the one time a critic spoke of "faint echoes of Jimi Hendrix" in my playing, boy I tell you, I'd have given anything to be able to mail that review back through time to my 17-year-old self, setting aside my cello and picking up a guitar for the first time, inspired above all by Hendrix and B.B.

July 4th 1970 Jimi played Star Spangled Banner for us at Atlanta Pop. One cool note about that concert; Jimi used a broad leather guitar strap with Xs on it. Every concert David Gilmour has played the last few years, he is wearing Jimi's old strap from that night. His wife bought it for him from the Hendrix trust. Imagine what that strap is worth today!!!

[@wpl8275]

Think about this. At 14 he got his first stringed instrument. A ukelele. But it had only 1 string. He learned to play single notes on it. At 15 he got his first real guitar, an acoustic one. Then at 16 he got his first electric guitar. In 8 short years he became the most revolutionary guitar player there ever was. He died at 27. Only 13 years after he got that single string ukelele. And not only did he play left handed, he could also play right handed as well.

[@normanhutcheson812]

A great Jimi song! A bit of trivia - did you notice that he’s actually left-handed, and he has played his guitar (using a right-handed guitar) with his left hand? He had to flip his guitar over for that.

[@donaldbrunner6250]

If you're a fan you need to come to Greenwood cemetery in Renton,Washington(just south of Seattle)and check out his memorial his dad had built to honor Jimi. If you look close you'll see he's playing a right handed guitar left handed. Pretty much any guitarist that came after him. He taught SRV a lot of what SRV did on guitar. So I guess you'd have to put SRV on the list of who Jimi influenced.

You can NEVER go wrong with Jimi

[@IYAMNI]

There are two rock guitarist who's influence was so great that you can hear the difference in other guitarists before and after their first album. One of them is Eddie Van Halen and the OG is Jimi Hendrix. I'm not dismissing other very influencial guitarsts, but those two changed everything. And to get an appreciation of what Jimi really did for rock guitar, one has to listen to what other rock players were doing in 1967, when Jimi first released "Are You Experienced". There was nothing else like it him. Listen to how huge his guitar is on "Manic Depression", how he uses feedback as part of his musical vocabulary. He didn't create the use of distortion or feedback, he just incorporated into his playing the same way Eddie did with tapping, harmonics, dive bombs etc... And check out the chaotic creativity of the title track 'Are You Experienced'... that album just changed the way everybody played. (and Stevie Ray Waughn is great but his first album came out in the 80s... or late 70s maybe. Jimi was doing it in the 60s)

[@rwfrench66GenX]

I agree with you but it surprises me that Allan Holdsworth or Robin Trower never get mentioned in a top 10 list. They didn’t invent things to draw attention to them but they’re masters and recorded some sick riffs!

You are at least half right. EVH however, IS NOTHING MORE THAN A TALENTLESS FRET WANKER, HE IS NOT A MUSICIAN!

[@IYAMNI]

@@rwfrench66GenX Yeah both Holdsworth and Trower get some great stuff… Especially Holdsworth and amazing and influential Jazz guitarist I have all of his discography including with UK and Bruford. But as far as influential goes I think Holdsworth influenced a lot of jazz players but not so much in the main stream of rock. And Trower was basically doing a more digitized version of what Hendrick said done a decade before. The word influential has nothing to do with virtuosity. Allan Holdsworth is a much more accomplished technical player than any of the guys we’ve mentioned. But influential simply means they’re playing in the style that is unique to them that his new fresh and that that style influences other people. The level of influence that Hendrix had bar at Waze pretty much anybody after him and once again the way you can test that is by listening to all the albums that came out that year and comparing them to Hendrix. Well not all of them but you know what I mean just go on KZbin look for rock songs for different groups that came out in 1967 and listen to the way the guitar is approached him perform the compare that with him he was doing. Jeff Beck was doing some great stuff before that too but nowhere near as influential that’s what I’m saying. Other very influential guitar players that people don’t think of are Django Reinhardt and Les Paul. Les Paul was off the hook way back in the 50s. Excuse any typos I am using my dictation outside of In-N-Out Burger right now ha ha

Stanley Jordan, Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Buckethead, John Petrucci, Ottmar Liebart, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, I find inspiration in many styles of many eras. I understand the people I mentioned may not have influenced as many as Jimi and Eddie but to me music is an art and it’s meant to be about individuality. Getting people to pick up an instrument is great as long as they’re not playing the same song the same way.

The answer to your question on how many guitarist were influenced by Jimi is all of them...lol. Keep your good vibes flowing.

Jimi was a force of nature.

[@AndrewwarrenAndrew]

Jimi came to England to perform and finally started getting recognition, married an English girl too.

Legend! So cool!🤘🔥

The live version of this song from Woodstock is worth checking out.

[@richardjones9007]

Hendrix revolutionized rock and what it meant to be a guitar player. Listen to popular music before and after Hendrix and you will appreciate his influence. There was a reason he was the highest paid act at Woodstock (a whopping $18K-about $149K in today’s dollars). And all this in just 3 years.

There are some players that can play anything Hendrix played, same with EVH, same with SRV. But none of them could have created it. But the real genius of these 3 is that fact that they were innovators! And not many of them around.They showed every other rock player how it's done, and gave birth world wide to millions of rock guitarists!

Love "Foxy Lady" and "All Along The Watchtower". ❤️❤️

Jimi's song "In From The Storm" is great, if you can find it online. Also, when Jimi played in England, Clapton, jimmy Page, and Pete Townshend would sit in the audience to get schooled. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. You have to check out Jimi's anti- war song ... "Machine Gun" it's about 12 minutes long and will give you the full experience ! So. visceral!

I did not know he did a studio version... I've only heard his live version at Monterey....

[@christopherpollak7448]

Jimi was the first to turn it up and sound good. Anyone who picked up a Guitar in the latter 60's and early 70's was influenced by Jimi.

Can't go wrong with Jimi Hendrix. I love all of his music. Sad he died so young. Check out this song called "Traces" by Classic IV I think you like it. Also another song called "Shannon" by Henry Gross both songs are sad. They'll tug at your heart's strings.

If you play electric guitar, then you probably love special effects pedals. If you love guitar pedals, then you owe Jimi a debt of gratitude. Everyone knows his guitar work, but a lot of folks don't know the starring role he played in the pioneering development of so many fun tech toys that we enjoy these days. You haven't lived until you've tormented your in-laws with a Vox Crybaby pedal and a Marshall amp with the volume set to "Are you leaving already"...!

The wildest thing about Jimi. He can do anything with a guitar and as a left handed person he does not play a left handed guitar. He does all that with a right handed guitar turned upside down . He taught himself that way and never changed. All his fret work and picking are backwards.

[@andrewcastillo9558]

I don't wanna be a know it all sir but not entirely right.. he played right handed guitar upside down but reversed the nut on guitar and restrung it to play like normal. That is alot of the reason why he has a distinct tone. The pickups would be reversed polarity on the wound strings. Along with tensioning the bridge differently with the springs on the back side of the strat. He also used heavy gauge strings for ead and light gauge for gbe.

"Castles In The Sand" "If Six Was Nine", "Manic Depression", "Fire", "Are You Experienced", and "Axis Bold As Love"
