What this young lady probably does not realise is at that time these sounds had never been heard before. It was revolutionary, for me anyway. And the first time I heard “Hey Joe” on the radio my first reaction was to wonder which planet was this coming from.

[@deandavidson1375]

I met a guy once had been roommates with Jimi before he went to England. He was still convinced that Jimi was from some other planet far away

[@michaeleaton9943]

No one ever heard ANYTHING like this before Jimi

[@ebk72]

also Jimmy Hendrix was self-taught on a right-hand guitar flipped as he was lefty, resulting in his strings beeing slightly off the poles of the pickup (different sound). If that aint alien I dont know what is : )

[@WickedIndigo]

@@ebk72I’m glad you made this point. So many people think he just played the guitar upside down like Albert King did. But part of Jimi’s unique sound was that the guitar was right handed and restrung to be right side up for his left handed playing. And just as you said the pickups were oriented differently and the low E was longer while the high E was shorter, also contributing to the unique sound.

[@karateman302]

When I was younger and just getting into the guitar, I knew a guy who said that Jimi wasn't that impressive and claimed to be better at guitar than him. If only I'd known what I'd come to realize then about how revolutionary Jimi Hendrix was for the instrument, I'd have realized how foolish of a statement that was.

[@Cadinho93]

"If Jimi Hendrix isn't your favorite guitar player, he's your favorite guitar player's favorite guitar player." Singing, chewing gun, playing with his teeth, playing behind his neck all while being charismatic and incredible at everything he did. Jimi Hendrix was light years ahead of his time and he changed music forever. He came here from somewhere else, gave us his tremendous gifts and then went home.

I drove home ( parents gone for the weekend) kissed her goodnight and walked to (my Dad's '67 Mustang. She asked were I was going I said to Jimi's party.

@@perlaursen1885 Stevie Ray Vaughn -- the white guy the racists prefer to the Black guy, Hendrix, that Vaughn is best known for copycatting. I saw the same phenomenon in my generation: "Paul Butterfield Blues Band" of Chicago, that played actual Chicago blues, was ignored for "Clapton is God," who played the British idea of Chicago blues, because "Butterfield" had Blacks in his band.

[@scottmiller8738]

Jimi was probably the most innovative guitarist that's ever lived. What he did was simply mindboggling and absolutely groundbreaking. But does that make him the best guitarist ever? SRV did borrow from a lot of guitarists, including Jimi and Albert King. What SRV contributed to music was an incredible refinement of playing the blues that I don't think anyone has yet approached. Can't we just accept their respective contributions and not participate in unnecessary comparisons and unfair condemnations? They were both great!

[@jnagarya519]

@@scottmiller8738 Blues is a primitive and extremely limited form of music invented by illiterates. That is why it is in and out of popularity: a new generation discovers it, gets all excited about it, then in time gets restive about its limitations and moves on. Vaughn is popular, at the forefront, because he's WHITE. The same thing happened with the "Clapton is "God" nonsense; not only was he not an innovator -- never has been -- but he was playing his British "idea" of Chicago blues. Meanwhile, "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band," actually from Chicago and actually playing Chicago blues, were mostly ignored because there were Blacks in the band. So we hear all sorts of shit about Clapton, and Vaughn, but not a word about Michael Bloomfield. Well, Bloomfield was Jewish, and he was in a band with Blacks, so "Clapton is God,," and let's ignore the fact that Vaughn is most popular because he COPIED the Black guy Jimi Hendrix.

When first hearing Terry Kath play, Jimi Hendrix was quoted as saying that he thought Terry Kath played guitar better than he did. It was later on reported that Jimi Hendrix also called Terry Kath the “Best Guitarist in the Universe.” The late Chicago lead guitarist.

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

Jimi said that about a few different people. For example, he also said it about Rory Gallagher. I'd chalk it up to Jimi being a very shy and humble guy.

Hendrix is one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived

[@sumonjamal1653]

Jimi Hendrix was born in Seattle... he joined the US Air Force but was playing guitar from a very young age... After being discharged, Jimi Hendrix became an active musician playing w/ the likes of Little Richard and Isley Brothers in the early 60's. In 1966, he was seen performing by Chas Chandler of the UK band The Animals... Chandler offered to manage Hendrix and introduced him to the London music scene that included The Beatles and Cream... Jimi Hendrix formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience w/ Noel Redding (bass) and Mitch Mitchell (drums) and the trio became a sensation in concert... In 1967, they released their debut album 'Are you experienced?' ... which turned the rock world on its head and introduced his incredible guitar playing 🤘🤘 The Experience toured the UK, Europe... and then the US, as they released 2 more albums 'Axis: Bold as Love'... and 'Electric Ladyland'... but by 1969, Jimi Hendrix was building his own Electric Lady Studio in New York... he decided to break the Experience and hired new musicians. At the Woodstock festival in '69, Jimi Hendrix stole the show giving an iconic performance at the early hours of the morning. He became the highest-paid rock performer that year. But by 1970, Jimi Hendrix had not delivered a new record in years and was spending a fortune recording hours of music on tape... He was forced to tour in order to raise money for his musical objectives... Hendrix had also developed a drug habit which had contributed to his erratic behavior. Tragically, Jimi Hendrix was found dead in London in 1970 after apparently asphyxiating on his own vomit while passed out... He was only 27 years of age. Jimi Hendrix's records sold more after his death and his unreleased music was released bit by bit over the years... either live recordings or studio sessions.

[@zzblzmn]

Jimi joined the Army. It was join the Army or go to jail. It was common in the 60s.

[@ptofview]

Actually Jimi joined the U.S. Marine Corps because he was arrested with a friend for stealing a car. The judge offered him jail or the military. Jimi earned his Paratrooper Wings, and was later discharged because he displayed a complete lack of interest in the military and was released.

[@GumboGalahad]

Jimi was arrested for being a passenger in a stolen car and joined the Army to avoid jail. He went Airborne and was in the 101st. He was discharged because of an ankle injury if I remember correctly.

Being an old school rock/metal musician, you can't help but acknowledge what Jimi did for guitar and music. All the early stuff was awesome. But for me his Band of Gypsys stuff is what really influenced my own guitar playing. You go with the early Hits as suggested but, do yourself a favor and get you some Band Gypsys in your life.

Even Wikipedia has to be corrected about her and Jeff. She had been playing bass for only a couple of years when that young unknown little girl auditioned for the 2007 tour and Jeff though it was a joke when she showed up. During the audition he gave her the guitar solo in ... Cause We've Ended as Lovers ..

"Purple Haze," "If 6 Was 9," "Fire," "Foxy Lady," and "All Along the Watchtower" are good songs to listen to and react to. Also, don't miss his rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" that he performed at Woodstock, in which he allows his guitar to provide social commentary on the Vietnam War.

[@ryusukeminami52]

Actually it wasn’t a anti-war statement, he confirmed in an interview that it was just an improvised moment as he remembered learning to play it at school. But of course, that doesn’t mean one can’t feel whatever one wanna feel about hearing it 👍☮️

Jimi Hendrix wasn't the original singer of Hey Joe. He just gave it another level. The original is good and Hendrix was great.

[@mrratny]

1.Red House (studio version) 2.Voodoo Child (slight return) Studio version. Just my opinion, but his best stuff was done in the studio. Sooooo clean.

[@user-tk8ds7pq4y]

He was with the 101st Airborne Division and jumped with his guitar. HOOYA!

[@samlewis7878]

I think Mr. Jimi was just crazily talented...it's not that there are no artists out there per say. ....he was the rarest kind of fellow who was capable and loved a huge, seemingly endless output of product and energy. There are not many of them in history.

Jimmy Hendrix was and still is the goat. No one had ever played or sounded like him before, and everyone bowed their heads and followed thereafter. Bowie wrote and paid homage to him with the opening lines in the classic, Life On Mars, Ziggy Played Guitar, left-hand, cool and gaylee with the spiders from Mars!! He blew everyone away, to the point where Bowie created this alien rock 'n' roll star Ziggy Stardust and his band The Spiders From Mars. What more can you say, all the great emerging rock guitarists and bands of that era including the biggest of all time The Beatles didn't just believe he was on another level he was on another planet in not just how he played, if that wasn't enough, it was as much about his stag performance, his guitar was apart of him. Hey, the playing behind his head and teeth, amazing as it was was just a trademark gimmick and only 10% of what he was.

[@GeraldWalling]

And this is why Jimi Hendrix is the GOAT. Songs 'Purple Haze', 'All Along the Watch Tower' 'The Wind Cries Mary' 'The Star Spangled Banner (Woodstock), just to name a few.

[@davisworth5114]

You need to order his CDs, only way to hear his greatness, this was his first perfomance in the US as Jimi Hendrix, he attained stardom in England first, Jimi had a very traumatic childhood and died tragically at 27.

[@629GSMITH]

JIMI plays a right handed stratocaster but he plays it left handed. You be blown away.

[@gregorylapointe4157]

I would recommend, Machine Gun, from Jimi's Band of Gypsies album. It has one of my personal all time favorite guitar solos. Keep up your reviews, they are appreciated!

[@user-wn8mg2jh1d]

Never thought he was a very good vocalist, but aa AWESOME Guitarist .

[@perlaursen1885]

Jimi wasnt licking the guitar…he was mimicking….and all the girls knew excactly what he was doing. 😎

[@jim55price]

"All Along the Watchtower" -- a must. Cheers.

[@yearginclarke]

This performance was from Monterey Pop Festival, his first show in America after coming back from England. It was an important event at the time, and definitely cemented it's place in Rock history. It was the perfect opportunity to expose his act to a big audience in America, and the world at that. So with that in mind, he wanted to put on a hell of a performance...which he definitely did. His performances that night with the opening of Killing Floor, and ending version of Wild Thing are the best of the best of that performance IMO. But also this version of Hey Joe and Like a Rolling Stone are amazing also. The whole show was amazing of course, but the aforementioned performances are my favorites from that night.

[@wadehendryx7378]

Jimi Hendrix is an experience.

[@loj74fun]

The greatest.

[@David19749]

Yup! Everyone who watches Hendrix or the numerous bands that came out of the 60s and early 70s feel the same way too! 😅

[@EastPeakSlim]

As mentioned by others, this performance was at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. THE performance of his at that show is "Wild Thing." I won't give spoilers, but it cemented his legend forever and booted his budding career into the stratosphere. It can be found as part of the documentary film "Monterey Pop" by D. A. Pennebaker. Find it. Watch it. You gotta!

[@daydays12]

"All along the watchtower" and "the Wind cries Mary"!

[@danielschaeffer1294]

“The Star-Spangled Banner” from the official Woodstock film. Jimi totally reinvented the guitar and you can watch his fingers.

[@marcushampton2075]

There was a lot of showmanship because that is what the money guys told him to do but in fact he was an incredibly serious musician who was only getting started when he sadly passed. "Little Wing" is a masterpiece.

[@marceldupont5582]

Hey young lady, you must know that the 70's music will go through the centuries...🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@rogerbianchini2982]

Jimi didn't write this song, but he made it HIS OWN with this performance and recorded version

[@donfinch862]

He was left handed, played a right handed guitar upside down! Let alone the rest. Nice reaction

[@MrMoggyman]

I saw Jimi Hendrix and The Experience on multiple occasions. I can confirm that live he was just as good if not better than anything seen filmed. If we were comparing guitar artists, there were guitarists and Jimi Hendrix ten blocks up the road from them. He was on a completely different level from all other guitarists. Self taught, Jimi and his guitar were one, and he was the first person to make the guitar speak. The next film you need to watch is Jimi Hendrix Johnny B Goode, Berkley. It is on You Tube. Prepare to be totally mind blown! I wish I could find the footage of his one man gig at Hammersmith Odeon, London. It was shown on TV shortly after his death as part of a tribute, and I have never seen the footage again. Jimi is on stage in his Woodstock outfit with his guitar and just a small Marshal practice amplifier. Out in the audience around 300 to 400 kids. The high level film shots show the audience moving and swaying like water to Jimi's playing. It was a remarkable sight.

[@donnielsen154]

Welcome to the 60s young lady - we had it all

[@denniseldridge2936]

Hendrix was indeed a very unique guitar player. Sometimes it was like he'd throw a bunch of notes in the air and play with them as they fell to earth. There are many great performances, but if you do a search for Voodoo Child (actually Voodoo Chile (slight return)) and Hawaii you'll get a great version of that song. He is also famous for performing the Star Spangled Banner at the original Woodstock, one of the vanishingly few times rock has come close to creating actual art.

[@KevyNova]

Interesting fact: this was a cover of a folk song and it had also been done earlier in the festival by The Byrds. The two interpretations by The Byrds and Jimi Hendrix are wildly different, with The Byrds playing it fast and upbeat (David Crosby even smiling throughout the song) and Jimi Hendrix playing it as a slower, more soulful song. Jimi was unknown in the USA (even though he was American, he was successful in England first) and it was The Beatles who got him a headlining spot at the Monterey Pop Festival. Jimi came on stage an unknown, but walked off a legend.

[@davidholcomb70]

Ran away from home to see,Jimi,at Atlanta International Pop festival!
