I did'nt care for his tricks, playing with his teeth or tongue, it was part of the show to get known but he hated it all. He just wanted to play his music.

[@yake222]

he never bothered to get a left handed guitar since he learned to play with a right handed guitar

[@garethhawkins4710]

nooooo!! We never knew that

[@cementhead60]

The Stratocaster is upside down but the strings are switched around to be in the correct order for a lefty.

[@omgvague]

He almost had a lefty guitar: In one of the ultimate sliding doors moments in rock and roll, Eric Clapton had originally planned to meet Hendrix the night of his death but that never came to fruition and left Clapton with an unwanted reminder of his friend’s demise. “The night that he died I was supposed to meet him at the Lyceum to see Sly Stone play, and I brought with me a left-handed Stratocaster. I just found it, I think I bought it at Orange Music. I’d never seen one before and I was gunna give it to him.” “He was in a box over there and I was in a box over here. I could see him but I couldn’t… we never got together. The next day, whack! He was gone. And I was left with that left-handed Stratocaster.”

[@raysmith7543]

Did not play upside down. He strung his guitar in the standard method..top to bottom low to high.

[@IrishKack]

Jimi said “when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” We could have used more people with that mentality. Why do all the truly good people die so young? Peace y’all.

[@johnettereynolds1053]

You do realize that Jimi Hendrix learned to play his guitar upside down. He was left-handed and couldn’t afford a left handed guitar, even if they were available then. So he is playing upside down, even more impressive, when you think about it.

[@stuartscott9498]

With all due respect, that's not strictly true. Yes, he is left handed playing a right handed guitar but the guitar was re-strung conventionally for left handed playing i.e. with the first string at the lower edge of the fretboard and the 6th string at the upper. So, he would have no problem picking up and playing a "proper" left handed guitar. Albert King was a different matter - he used a right handed guitar turned around for left hand playing but left the strings where they were resulting in a totally unique sound and style. Later, Gibson made "signature" Flying Vees for him with a standard left hand layout for the controls but he still had the "upside down" string set up. When Jimi used Flying Vees he sometimes had a right handed guitar, sometimes left handed but they were always strung conventionally.

[@marcofernandoguarino709]

He didn't have his strings "upside down." Learning to play lefty isn't hard when you're a lefty. Check out Eric Gales. He's a modern blues player, a lefty, that does play with the strings upside down. Also, keep in mind, and I say this as a lefty guitar player, that most people have right handed guitars. So when you go to someone's house and they have a guitar lying around, you start fiddling with it, and after years of those kinds of situations, before you know it, you know how to play guitar upside down. At least for me, all the cowboy chords and bar chords are just as natural to shape upside down at this point.

[@stuartscott9498]

@@marcofernandoguarino709 Eric Gales - did not know that. He is a great performer. In all my 60 years playing the guitar as a "righty" I've never tried to play a left handed guitar turned round so I'll take your word for it that it's not that hard!

Albert King also had the strings done for his left-hand playing.

There is still nobody that can do what he could do with an electric guitar. I have seen you shocked by a few artists before, but not like that.

[@johnwade5747]

Jamel, the crowd is so tame because of the times. You got to realize that was about 68 or thereabouts. They hadn’t been awoke yet! give them another year or two! Some of them probably weren’t even tore up yet, or as Jimi says ‘experienced’! It was all part of the progression that’s got us to where we are now. Think how important his mind blowing addition to it all was.He opened a lot of peoples eyes to the fact that thru music, we are all the same.❤

[@ShreddFly]

Jimi Hendrix is the reason I play guitar today. I seen the Woodstock movie when I was 9 years old. And all I wanted to do after that was play the guitar. After Jimi Hendrix everybody played the guitar different. He was the innovator of his time. Jeff Beck once said that Jimi Hendrix came in and change the rules all in one night.

[@superchicken5000]

It’s so cool to see someone experiencing the genius of Jimi Hendrix for the first time. What a player he was...

[@natewilliams1062]

I can’t believe how good this old ass recording sounds. Jimi lead the way for A LOT of styles. Band of Gypsies deserves several listens

[@humpy936]

Nate Williams Yes it does.

[@usernameinvalid2675]

I can because Europe was better at recording live music in the 60s bar none

[@roberthungry]

Much like John Coltrane with his sax, Jimi used his axe to PRAY with,channeling energy from nothing and making it manifest into reality. Your reaction is perfect.

[@robjones2408]

Jamal's reaction is priceless. '@5.21, he is unable to talk after witnessing Jimi's supernatural brilliance. That's why the audience was so stunned. Jimi still remains in a field of one, five decades since he left this mortal coil.

Sure there will be. That's the hope of the future! That because of the influence the young strive to achieve more than those who have come before. There will just NEVER be anyone to come FIRST again! RIP Jimi!

There are very few things at the moment which make me proud to be British - however, the fact that back then Jimi found his musical home and partners here makes me hopeful for the future of my country.

My man this was an incredible and honest reaction. That’s how I felt too. It blew my mind watching Jimi do that

[@MajahDancer]

I know this was a reaction from a long time ago, but this video has an emotional effect on me too. Jimi's playing was transcendent. It can simultaneously fill your soul and yet leave you feeling empty, wanting to hear more.

[@jonellfretz5746]

Fun fact: Jimmi Hendrix actually played his Fender upside down.

[@jamelakajamal]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@jonellfretz5746]

@@jamelakajamal He was left handed. So he put the strings on his fender backwards and played like a boss. Oh by the way im still waiting on my reaction lol

[@j0shle0]

Jonell Fretz yup, and actual guitarists use those tone and volume knobs which are below the strings for a reason. It’s way harder to use them the way his guitar is configured.

[@orlandl.blanchard5423]

Yes he played guitar with his mouth. He also pioneered the wah-wah pedal into R & B.

[@miked5814]

Yeah he's playing with his tongue. Nuts man. Unbelievably talented. Can you imagine what he would have done if he didn't die at 27.

[@johnkoprivsek8317]

Really he's not though. He's tapping the frets with his fingers to play the notes. The tongue thing is mimed.

I’ve been listening to Jimi for 40 years and I still don’t know how I feel about it. He was incredible.

Jimi Hendrix was the reason I started playing electric guitar and I will always thank him for it until I die.

[@HFStuart]

When Jimi came to the UK he recorded sessions for BBC Radio 1. The sound engineers are on record saying they could see the soundproofed glass moving in the studio and the classical studio TWO FLOORS above called to complain about the sound bleeding through into their recording.

You Just witnessed the greatest guitar player ever , sad he passed away at 27 years old in 1970 , theres no one ever come close to his guitar skills , Mr. Jimi Hendrix was a magician with that Stratocaster !!!!

[@ReeseMac]

When Jimi played with his mouth I thought only used his teeth but on closer examination you can see that he obviously used his tongue as well and , on top of that , the man didn't miss a beat. If you only listened to the audio you'd never know that he did that and played behind his head. G.O.A.T.

[@mousta2612]

Well, actually he played a legato only with the hand on the frets. The tongue movement was useless for the sound, just a scenic move. But in the piece before he used his teeth as a pick.
