When I first got my Strat the first thing I wanted to play instinctively was Purple Haze, Hendrix is the best of them all

Well... since Santa brought me a Strat for xmas. It looks like I'll be studying up on my Jimi. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@bullwinklemoose8291]

Hendrix is STILL without a doubt the greatest of all time. When I was a kid in the 60's, I didn't especially enjoy his music...I was totally a Beatles kid and Hendrix was too out there. But much later in life I started playing guitar because of my love for Stevie. It was actually through Stevie that I circled back and started to learn about how Jimi influenced the direction of music back when he was alive...and I was completely blown away at what I learned. I have so much respect for what he accomplished and as much as I connected with Stevie and never thought I'd love anyone more, I think Hendrix has surpassed Stevie on my personal list. Stevie definitely inspired me more, but Hendrix has a greater awe factor...I still can't believe how much he did in his short lifetime. He remains hands down and without even anyone close the GOAT.

[@YungTrinidad407]

Yeah sounds about white , y’all white people love your Stevie he’s a Hendrix copy cat but throw a lil country on it y’all crackers love it

[@mebeasensei]

[@jordanfender3085]

You’re the best Marty!!!! I’ve learned so much this past year and a half I’ve been playing and it’s all from you… I bring my guitar into work and practice and was told to start a KZbin channel and give lessons but I said everything I learned was from “Marty Schwartz” on KZbin and it’s not possible for me or anyone I’ve seen to teach it anymore clear and thorough. Thanks again Marty and hope you Merry belated Christmas to you and your family!!

[@raiderjohnthemadbomber8666]

My cousin, who was an administrative assistant for Capital Records gave me two albums for Christmas, 1969 to expand my "musical horizons", Jerry Butlers "Ice on Ice", and an unreleased album called "Band of Gypsies ". I was 14 at the time. I'm eternally grateful to her!

[@tmage23]

I also love that walking riff in Hey Joe.

[@stevefielding8324]

You just keep getting better Marty! You should link each clip back to lessons you've done previously. Thanks so much.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much Steve!!

[@kenanderson5264]

Simply an incredible tutorial for those of us wanting to get into Hendrix' technique. How creative he was! A real fountain of guitar ideas. When we see them in this format, they are more accessible; we can see what was going on and what he was up to. Thanks for this, Marty.

[@JKCrane]

I bet Marty makes a good living for working so hard producing videos. I enjoy them! Good job Marty!

[@asgoodasgoose6202]

sounds lovely, think I'll learn to play them on my acoustic

Hey Marty, he sure was an incredible guitar player and entertainer. I am happy I got to grow up with his music. He was taken away from us too early.

i'm impressed - i'm from holland en daar zeggen we - niet normaal - of althans goed bezig - i enjoy your video's keep it that way and i'm starting up playing guitar on mine gibson les paul custum sunburst which i bought 25 years ago for 3500 guilders{dutch money then} and now i'm gonna retry playing with my blues scale and learn the way jimmy hendrix played, it's a free way kind of style but in a slow motion kind of playing you feel the way he played and that turns me on and sets me free, and after that i', gonna analyse songs of stevie ray vaughn that turns me on although ....and i'm serious

[@thewoodys_surf_instrumental]

Band of Gypsies Is one of the best live albums ever recorded. It’s a shame there was not a film crew to document it. I mean it was New Year’s Eve the end of the 60s and it’s Hendrix and nobody thought to film it??? Hey Marty, I would definitely watch your 90s sitcom, ha! Beautiful red Stratocaster, gorgeous dark rosewood.

[@jeffreyjones3228]

Hendrix was inspirational in the way he focused on the instrument. Playing guitar in a way no other had. Still today anyone learning guitar will study his music on there path.

[@larsjacobs2341]

Well I suppose you could say the same about Eddie Van Halen or Tom Morello. Though I still definitely agree with you Jimi was the best
