Best Jimi Hendrix Songs - JTC Playlist

[@villiannewyork]

Thank you for giving Spanish Castle Magic the credit it deserves. People always talk about Helter Skelter as one of the pioneers of heavy metal but not Spanish Castle Magic.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

It really is a marvel of a song from 1967

[@Logan912]

I guess the difference is that “Spanish Castle Magic” still has a thick mid-60s psychedelic vibe whereas “Helter Skelter” is a straightforward hard rock tune.

[@stephendavis5530]

I just love the Electric Ladyland version of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) One of the heaviest things I've ever heard. One gem that is always overlooked is Love Or Confusion from Are You Experienced. In my opinion, it is in the same class as Purple Haze and Spanish Castle Magic. The chord crashes during the final part of this are unbelievable! 😎🎸🎸

One of my fave deep cuts is astro man from cry of love! Man that bass riff at the beginning! I love it!

[@justinw6670]

His mind fell out of his face,then the wind blew it away!!

[@ala0284]

Choosing between Little Wing and Voodoo Child is like picking your favourite child, but I’d have to give the edge to Little Wing, there’s something about it that just gives me chills

[@JTCurtisMusic]

It’s seriously one of my all time favorites. Only negative thing I have to say about it is I wish it was longer (which is probably for the best, leave ‘em wanting more).

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

Great picks. My absolute favorite Jimi Hendrix song is "Third Stone From The Sun". Just love everything about the instrumental.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I was really trying to fit “Third Stone” into this playlist, but because of the time restrictions, I couldn’t fit it without sacrificing two or three songs. A real gem nonetheless!

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

@@JTCurtisMusic I understand. It is hard to pick a Jimi song since he has an amazing catalog. And I agree, "Third Stone" is a real gem

Your people I do not understand

[@stephendavis5530]

@@JTCurtisMusic I always wondered what that clicking noise was on the super slowed down vocal. It sounds like an intercom.

[@CorbCorbin]

Side 3 of Electric Ladyland is an epic masterpiece. From Rainy Day, Dream Away, back to Still Raining, it goes from a daydream to traveling through the solar system, back to the bus, still dreaming.

[@frankfrank7921]

Machine Gun. I've probably heard it over 500 times over the years and I get still a chill down my spine when that leslie driven sustained first note of his solo happens. What we get after that is not just a guitar solo but, with only a couple of effects and Jimi's genius, a sonic portrait of war and all the chaos, pain and suffering that it brings. Not to mention his great and truthful lyric, "Evil man make me kill you, evil man make you kill me...even though we're only families apart." As we used to say back then, heavy, man.

[@thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051]

My favorite guitarist. I'd say that Voodoo Child: Slight Return is my favorite

[@navdeepsingh433]

I’ve been waiting for this one!!!!!!!!

[@artmanjohn2]

I just turned 72 last month and I had a t-shirt made that said, "I may be old but I got to see all the really cool Bands!" Example, I saw Jimi Hendrix live three times and at one of them I was 3rd row dead center! My ears haven't been the same since!

[@superskillz07]

Great video! 8:10 You can thank Chas Chandler, (Jimi's producer at the time) for Little Wing being such a short song. Chas wanted songs that would be played on the pop stations of the day and he got Jimi to cut down / alter his musical ideas to keep the song around 2 to 3 minutes long. Jimi probably wanted just about all his songs to be about 5 to 15 minutes long (if not longer) because he (Jimi) was so full of creativity and he wanted his music to keep going.

[@johnparsons1573]

Fantastic album. I would certainly buy this

[@arthurjenkins8163]

Excellent analysis of Jimi's playing Well Done

[@MatthewAFC]

Great Video, JTCurtis! I hope this can help me get into Hendrix. Do you think for a future playlist you could do, Cream. Great Blues/Rock Band! Thanks

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Cream is definitely on my radar

[@thatmadgranny6663]

One of my favorite Jimi songs is vanilla Junction blues its a instrumental but it rocks. Also this video was amazing keep up the awesome work Jt Curtis🤘☮️

[@nolanboyken5589]

I don't know why but I really like stone free it just kinda hits me in a weird way I love it a lot. Sad it didn't get picked, but those other tracks are still good.

[@iSkully99]

Stone free is a classic. I used to really enjoy a live rendition of it on youtube but it got deleted at one point in time and I could never find the specific version back

[@IamTabu]

I would love to see your Queen playlist. My absolute favorite band

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I’ve got a feeling it will be coming up soon enough...

[@Ciabattaonions]

Two years later 😂

[@abbalite]

Waterfall is my fave JH song.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

That came VERY close to being on this list...

[@shaqeelzainalabdeen231]

My favourite songs of Jimi would be Red House,Hear My Train A Comin' and Lover Man

[@TuckerPiper]

Yes I am experienced jimi

[@kjlmusic1540]

What’s the plan for the post-Black Sabbath playlists? We want more of them! And we can get them! Because History of Rock is done!

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I’ll put out another Patreon poll

[@stijnos244]

ccr would be cool

[@sincity3018]

Or the all an brothers band

[@garybentlage481]

Hi like this thank u

[@ChrisSaundersMusic]

Live album, honorable mention: Tax Free at Winterland

[@JTCurtisMusic]

A deep cut! Very nice.

[@vincentbadger6920]

Can you do Queen for your next playlist video?

[@JTCurtisMusic]

The next playlist video is Black Sabbath, after that I'm going to turn it over to my Patreon poll, which Queen is in.

[@vincentbadger6920]

Ok cool!

[@vincentbadger6920]

I see that you like a lot of Classic rock bands/artists like you I like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, but some more of my favorites are AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, Metallica, Rush, Van Halen and ZZ Top.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

@@vincentbadger6920 All good suggestions!

[@jacksteadman3467]

You should do a Bob Dylan playlist, he’s awesome!

[@rayannadeem6048]

Bro how did u not add voodoo chile the blues jam

[@JTCurtisMusic]

It’s 15 minutes long, It would have taken up almost an entire side. It’s why LADYLAND is best listened to as a whole.

[@rayannadeem6048]

True but still its essential

[@JTCurtisMusic]

@@rayannadeem6048 it’s a cool jam for sure and the fact that Stevie Winwood and Jack Cassidy are on it makes it really cool, but still it wouldn’t be essential for me.

[@rayannadeem6048]

@@JTCurtisMusic guess I understand why but personally i think one his best live emprov ever. BTW I love u stuff man as new guitar player hearing and learning about the history of rock was really interesting. One more thing where is the cream video

[@ilanamargalit4350]

You should do a Bruce one

[@vincentbadger6920]

What is your favorite Hendrix album?

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Electric Ladyland and Axis Bold as Love

[@delanoarts3703]

He also got pretty pissy about having to play songs like hay Joe which unbelievably was one of his only big hits that little fact always blows me away because like this video says he is the most important guitar player ever Its crazy when find out icon like hendrix never had a number are even any really big hits because he was so influential he was the one that inspired Eddie van Halen him and cream and is considered the top 5 of greatest guitar players if not the number one over 50 years ago still number one but no real big hits interesting stuff its like the remons and slayer those bands are the most influential bands of there genre easy and neither one had a platinum album same with hendrix yet he was one of the biggest stars of the 60s period great video 👍

[@beatnik111]

Jimi Hendrix is the only person you can compete with Eric Clapton

[@discotequilasunset]

bro what Jimi is wayyyy better than Eric clapton

[@discotequilasunset]

compete in what? guitar playing?

[@beatnik111]

@@discotequilasunset I like both but what I meant was Jimi Hendrix was really the only other person who can compete with Eric's guitar playing in the sense of like quality just electric flying ideas if you know what I mean

[@discotequilasunset]

@@beatnik111 yeah okei, that’s not what i think but it’s subjective

[@sincity3018]

I mean I’d compare Dwane Allman, Jimmy Paige, David Glimor maybe even Eddie Van Hale

[@LeSensuel]

While I love Jimi’s Little Wing, I definitely think the ultimate version is SRV’s. No lyrics, it’s all about the emotions from the instruments and of course Stevie’s incredible guitar playing and soloing. As for best track of Jimi’s, I’d have to say either Voodoo Child, Slight Return or Machine Gun.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

SRV’s rendition is fantastic

[@delanoarts3703]

Haha last comment another interesting fact about hendrix is he was in the army and supported the war at first he actually said stuff I can't understand why people don't want to win this war it wasn't till the late 60s that he changed his mind but before jimy was a rock star he was very conservative cool guy

[@uman3785]

No 1983?

[@JTCurtisMusic]

It's 13 minutes long, would have eaten up half a side.
