[@hippydippy]

3 thing's Jimi is most under rated at... 1. His rhythm playing. 2. His emotional vocals. 3. His song writing. He was the best. PERIOD.

[@atanasstoianov9270]

I don't think anyone undervalues Jimis rhythm playing. He is probably considered the best rhythm player of all times.

[@KingGrio]

Wtf planet are you from ? It's a Jimi Hendrix d*ck sucking contest out there, he's not underrated at all.

[@paulrichards132]

Mate… I’m sorry but you can’t say underrated and Jimi Hendrix in on sentence….

[@petarkosovic6455]

@@paulrichards132 I think he can when it comes to his singing. He is the most emotional singer (musician) that ever was.

I feel like I progress 10 years further in playing guitar with this lesson. You are great musician. I love your lessons. Greeting from Slovakia.

[@wendelllaffin240]

How in the fuck is it possible for one human being to know so much about all aspects of the guitar without forgetting some of it along the way... this is incredible to watch i tell yah.

[@ChrisWoodwardMusician]

Joe is amazing. I can only imagine how he must feel to be able to make such an impact on people. Truly is a blessing.

[@wendelllaffin240]

i met joe at one of his meet and greets... honestly one of the greatest people i had the pleasure of peaking with.

[@ChrisWoodwardMusician]

+Wendell Laffin I wouldn't know what to say if I met Joe. He seems like a great guy in all of the videos.

[@sega62s]

You should see whar jazz players know, its even scarier

[@wendelllaffin240]

Chris Woodward i was very nervous meeting him... when i approached him he picked up on it right away and he started to ask questions about the guitar i brought in for him to sign... i started babbling on and then later i realized... that was his way of easing my tension... he is an amazing person and as down to earth an humble as you could ever hope someone like Joe would be... not even a hint of rock star douche bag in him.

[@johnwayne9906]

I've met Joe twice in my life. Once with Yngwie and Vai at G3 and once at a guitar center. Class act this guy

Joe Satriani is by far one of the Best guitarist/musicians ever! True master....one of my Top five favorite guitarists. I've seen him 3 times and he was just amazing. He can just Tear it up....and never miss a lick!

[@iwritesongs6965]

These Hendrix videos are making me reflect on what I learned from Jimi Henrix. 1. I'll never come close to the talent of Jimi. 2. How to strive for freely shifting from rhythm to lead :D The second lesson is far more inspiring.

[@jimix8575]

"How to strive for freely shifting from rythm to lead" You are right and it is very difficult to get close to that. Almost impossible. I reccomend you to use mute notes and learn the original versions and not imitations. You have to learn a lot of Hendrix songs to understand how to do that. Also play scale patterns instead of modern cencepts such as scales, arpegios...etc In fact it is possible to make an hybrid method but you would have to avoid many things to get close to Jimi.

One of the few guitarists who makes use of the full fret board. I've been a fan since 94 and he never fails to astound me.

[@sherrithorne5634]

One of my all time favorites. Met his mom who spoke so very highly of him when I was at the NYPL. Wonderful!

[@antarcticorb9197]

Been listening to Jimi since the sixties, and back then it was rare to complement his rhythm playing, and i always wondered why. He was the best of the best, and always conveyed a special feeling and mood!

[@kcrossleKMC]

Came here from the Rick Beato interview, which referenced Hendrix. This just knocks me over - not the actual music (he's not playing any song) but the fact he gets to the essence of Hendrix's music like I've never heard since 1969, live. Thanks.

[@rudymikula7129]

Amazing demo. He has the right feel, so his notes flow with an ethereal bounce . Keep playing live. Thanks.

[@callevi1791]

Thank you Joe for helping us learn the instrument. I really enjoy the explanation along with illustrated examples. Super helpful.

I am a drummer and I love this. I also know Joe is a master teacher performer producer etc with the HIGHEST regards For Hendrix and his body of work. Joe continues to show many music types the way and takes care of himself to always perform and teach his best. I love his tones and he would be the first to describe the sounds he chooses to teach over Jimi's style and sound...so pro. That is why drummers are here. Listening...learning. I think JH and JS would be great buds.

I have been stealing from Joe since the mid 80's. Floored me with his second album "Surfing...". so I got "Not of..." as well. It is the standard of guitar I strive for, but always fall short. In process always become a better guitarist over the years.

[@ericheine2414]

Thanks Joe the more I listen to you The quicker I'm picking it up.

[@budgetguitaristcom]

Joe can play any style well. He's just crazy talented. Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but that guitar and that pickup and that amp don't do the Jimi strat sound well. At all. Agree with Andrelix67 - turning down the gain a bit would have helped. Joe likely has an endorsement where he doesn't play other brands in videos so I totally get it. But this video is an extremely effective demo of the wrong guitar and amp combination for the style.

[@gavanhillebold3131]
