Jimi Hendrix (1973) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #JimiHendrix
This musical documentary captures the elusive character of one of rock's greatest musicians: Rock 'n' Roll Hall-of-Famer Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix, arguably the most influential guitarist in the history of rock 'n' roll, is shown in rare performances, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage including such legendary songs as "Purple Haze," "Little Wing," and "Foxy Lady." Hendrix's all-too-brief career was cut short by a fatal overdose at the age of 27 in 1970.
Directed By Joe Boyd, John Head, Gary Weis
Starring Arthur Allen, Albert Allen, Stella Benabon

A 12-string tuned down is the best sounding instrument ever

[@rayh72]

... four semitones I reckon and yes, sounds great. No wonder he could bend the strings so well on fret two.

[@damfeller6978]

He's got it tuned to B standard

[@glenmilner9828]

Not an easy feat tuning a 12 banger either.

[@We_Seek_Truth]

@@damfeller6978 You are close, but you're a half step low. "rayh72" has it right. It is "C standard" tuning. That's what all the sources say that I've found, plus I have "tuned up" (down) to it and it is indeed "C standard" tuning, which is down - "a major 3rd" - or, "2 whole steps" - or, "4 half steps" - a k.a. "4 semitones". So, if you tune down that far, then an A note is the 4th fret up on the open 5th string, which would normally be C#. Technically A is still 440 Hz, but the "new C#" note is now an A note (440Hz). Don't ask me what the new open A string is in hertz, I just know it's an F note. But I leaned decades ago that he is tuned to "C standard". But a lot of bands DO use a "B standard" tuning quite extensively. I've learned a lot of weird tunings from grunge, metal, and alternative bands. It can get pretty technical & complicated.

[@We_Seek_Truth]

@@rayh72 Yeah, 4 semitones down. And I was thinking the same thing, slack tuning makes string bending a lot easier, even close to the nut - on the second fret.

[@EmericaNobles]

What most people don’t know is that Jimi completely improvised this on the spot and that’s why he initially started playing it sounded completely different that what he ended up playing. Pure genius

[@frandsenphilip1]

Every generation has its geniuses - Hendrix on guitar is one of them. It's like Mozart or Beethoven in our age.

[@lukemarsden5872]

he's improvising, on a new guitar, on the spot in front of camera, at the age of 23-24, truly amazing - you can tell his heart and soul was truly in the blues, he lived and breathed every aspect of his roots, - a truly truly magical man - what a musical talent - we should be so glad cameras and recording technology was around the capture him.

[@chrisgoodrich46]

Most musicians will just improvise for a more complicated guitar part

[@clintjones9848]

I doubt that was totally improvised.

[@markmcnary1785]

You know, I have to say it, Jimi was great, and if it hadn't been for him, the guitar players that came after him, never would have happened. Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robin Trower, Frankie Marino, and many others wouldn't have come out to play guitar at all. Hendrix was the inspiration for those that came after him. To play, and to be the next generation of guitar gods.

Jimi was the blues. He spoke that language. No one ever says about regular folks-‘Hey they’re improvising that conversation.’ It just happens because people speak a language. He was the blues.

IF you know enough blues licks, you can pretty much improvise anything on the spot. Took me years to get there but I can now.

In open tunings it's not that hard to improvise like that He added a bit of his style to a typical delta blues song It's actually way easier to do than it looks

James Marshall Hendrix (nacido como Johnny Allen Hendrix; Seattle, Washington, 27 de noviembre de 1942-Notting Hill, Londres, 18 de septiembre de 1970), más conocido como Jimi Hendrix, fue un guitarrista, cantante y compositor estadounidense. A pesar de que su carrera profesional solo duró cuatro años, es considerado uno de los músicos y guitarristas más influyentes de la historia del rock. El Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll lo describe como «Indiscutiblemente uno de los músicos más grandes de la historia del rock». 82 AÑOS 27 AÑOS 55 AÑOS.

After pre intro, at 0:57 the intro starts in 6/8 shuffle rhythm and then after a 5/4 measure of the first vocal line he switches to 4/4 straight rhythm with 8 beats per bar starting right on "...train..." and then stays on 4/4 but at 2:54 he does a shuffle riff in two measures of 2/4 within the 8 beats of the bar to remind you of the shuffle 6/8 of the intro. Amazingly creative even with time signatures and fluid rhythm transitions on top of everything else improvised here.

Jimi is one of my favorite artists ever since my teenage years. Its amazing how everytime i come back to his music i still find something new. When i first heard this i just thought about how cool his vibe was, how he played the blues in a unique way, but now its so obvious that this "cool vibe" its just him honoring and letting out his connection with his cherokee roots and the blues. Thats where the "goat" or "genius" magic is, when you are connected and true to yourself and the art you're crafting. And he knew that at a very young age, bro was something else for real.
