Randy Hansen About Guitar Effects

[@davidalkire2318]

Used to watch his kids in his house while he was out at gigs lifelong friend

[@precbsfender]

Randy saw Jimi perform at Seattle's Sicks Stadium in July 1970, the overwhelming amount of inspiration is obvious. Randy has flown the Hendrix flag with the highest nobility and decorum..a true professional in every sense .

[@greatfullytwisted7431]

Damn well said

[@Jonhobbs64]

Woah! That is absolutely the best demonstration possible! Randy is Soo cool and professional at the same time! Thanks for posting!

[@davegilbertmusic]

Randy's so great! Saw him in the late 70s when he called themselves Randy Hansen's Machine Gun, that's still one of the top 5 shows I've ever seen! I love how he effortlessly pulls off Have You Ever Been (to Electric Ladyland) here ❤💯

[@jamesbone105]

I saw Randy with Machine Gun at UC Davis in Oct of 1979 he ran up and played right in front of me, he blew my mind. My brother took me and he saw Jimi 5 times and he told me that's as close to Hendrix you will ever hear. The whole show was amazing.

[@davegilbertmusic]

@@jamesbone105 that's so funny, same thing happened to me!

[@thomasrichmond2413]

When we first started seeing Randy in the late 70’s there was no wireless. His crew patched like 10 25’ cords end to end and he would fucking go nuts. One show he was playing on his back in the middle of Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, while his rhythm section was playing Third Stone from the Sun. Amazing memories.

[@Johngonefishin]

Saw him here in the NW in the 70's, he had a 200' guitar cord, he would work his way out in the audience while playing with a roadie behind him to take care of the cord, grab a long neck beer bottle off of someones table and play wild slide guitar and then drink what was left in the bottle, on his way back to the stage while still playing he would do a full on back flip back on to the stage without missing a note........

[@stevespawn1]

Jimmys sound was great-randy plays for decades what jimmy originated in only 4 years as a star. Love your playing Randy

[@user-qm7nw7vd5s]

Saw him perform in a small, low ceiling venue in Northern California, while he was at his peak. Very impressive! The KZbin vids don’t really capture what he does live.

[@stlrockn]

I saw Randy at the Exit In (a legendary club) in Nashville in 1979 and again in 1980. Great shows, great memories. I wish he would come back this way. He is far and away the best Jimi Hendrix tribute artist out there. He not only plays the notes... he gets the SOUND.

[@vicvega3614]

Geeze how old is this guy doesn't look that old

[@stlrockn]

@@vicvega3614 He saw Jimi back in the day and he and I are about the same age so I imagine he is around 70 years old.

[@vicvega3614]

@@stlrockn oh wow i would've never guessed hes that old

[@thelastperfectman4139]

This man is the truest disciple of Hendrix. Way beyond simply being a "tribute" act.

[@jamesbone105]

That shirt is really cool made for Jimi and given to Randy. I have watched Randy live a few times in my life he is something special.

[@willg54]

I like Randy. He's cool, so down to earth. Hasn't let his fame go to his head. He would be fun to hang out with, or jam with, THAT would be REALLY cool!!! Randy, if your drummer ever gets sick, hit me up. Have drums, will travel!!! Hahaha! 😸 ✌

[@MerrickGuitar]

Don't ever let this video get taken down please

[@rudolfkurtz9847]

I ❤Jimi Hendrix and I love what Randy Hansen does cause he loves Jimi and i hear that🙏

[@Dbalx]

LOVE YOU RANDY!!!!!

[@dannyc6166]

I held that Uni-vibe. My friend Mike gave that Uni-vibe & I played with it before he flew out to Seattle, went to Randy’s house & hung out , jammed & had a ball. That was 1984 or so. Mike, who’s the biggest Hendrix fanatic I’ve ever known, met Randy after a show in Minnesota. Her’s one you probably won’t believe. Jimi’s daughter Tamica worked for me in the 90’s. I went to her wedding. She had photos of her with Jimi’s dad to prove it. The Hendrix estate recognized her at one point. She never knew him, but I freaked out when she told me!!!!!!

[@ExOceann]

Sometimes when i fall asleep i remenber à snippet of my childhood, of a documentary about hendrix broadcasted on arte back in the days, and this little snippet is this exact clip of randy showing his pedalboard! Thanks for the upload and the throwback

[@medievalknievel]

Al Hendrix was a substitute Spanish teacher in the Seattle school system I was at Newport high school mid 80s in Bellevue and he would come through several times a month to teach class he would never talk about Jimi He was very cool to us though God Bless you Al Hendrix

[@danacurry8742]

I remember seeing him at the Roxy theater on sunset strip in the mid 70s I was completely blown away. Great guitarist and great show 👏 👍

[@Authorityoneverything]

Thanks to Randy for well... being Randy and lettin us in on how Hendrix did his thing ... Sad to say without Him we might not really know alot from jimis stuff . Jimi was only around for like 3ans a half years and then he was gone . I realize he played a long time before but i mean the experience and band of gypsies and other than some people remembering what hendrix played or how he did this or that 50 years ago i originally was just blown away by how accurate randy was before randy i would always say whoever was good but no one can play "it " like hendrix , well randy can . Its really sad man cause its like Hendrix sister is letting Jimi Hendrix be forgotten by not letting his music be played on anything and slowly this strictly monetary move by his estate is erasing the most influential rock guitarist who changed the music of his day talk about the Beatles changing music no body knew it was possible to make such sound with a guitar. Hendrix might not have been the best technical guitar player but he will always have the best tone and ability to reach far beyond what thought was possible and to do such things in less than 3 years it was ment to be i guess. Jimi will be remembered because of this man and a few others we can hear the live sounds that died soo long ago .

[@vicvega3614]

Umm i think Jimi was the best player period, for him to have all those sounds in the late 60s is insane. He started a whole different sound. I used to have a digitech Hendrix pedal that had all of his sounds in 1 pedal, youd pick 1 through 7 songs and it was an awesome pedal but his family sued digitech and they stopped making it. It was purple

[@ElliotRomeo]

Anyone notice how Randy’s pants have the word “fuck” written all over them on the right leg? The man is legendary and has nailed the Hendrix sound down

[@freddyloper813]

Badass!! Love seeing you tour with a real univibe and fuzzface. I regret selling my univibe because theirs no great clone and their even more expensive now.

[@nimitz1739]

Now he just uses the keeley monterey and a crybaby. The Monterey is basically all Hendrix’s affects put into one pedal.

[@Stereostupid]

Fulltone makes great stuff

[@mchorchos]

@@Stereostupid not anymore. they closed business.

[@freddyloper813]

​@@nimitz1739 absolutely fulltone was a great builder but vintage units are unique. I've had 2 1960s univibes and one was beat up the other was mint. The beat up unit sounded waay better. I actually build pedals and amps but univibe is a lot going on.

[@VODECI]

@@Stereostupidget a sabbadius funky vibe, that’s what Randy Hansen uses today

[@richardperusse4299]

this video was made in Germany when was released the official VHS concert of Uli Jon Roth Hendrix tribute in 1991

[@deemika]

Such a nice guy. Even though he has accomplished the nearly impossible - playing Hendrix like Jimi played Hendrix - he is humble & sweet.

[@dezionlion]

Fuck yeah Randy! Finally someone showing us how to get proper Hendrix sound!

[@MrMcflanigengaming]

I love that 80’s strat there my favorite

[@Dbalx]

Randy come to Greece please!!!

[@julestielens6988]

Love this guy!

[@AlexWBKK]

wow. Looks like an original Univibe. Rare stuff. I have the MXR 68 from Dunlop. Its pretty cool too but no foot control :-(

[@sonnydaze6071]

THANKS RANDY

[@WhereWolvesRoam]

What a really nice guy

[@landoe8383]

Cool stuff

[@denniscacho2007]

His guitar being in tune after all the dive bombs made me jealous

[@quistador7]

yo thank you for this vid that tip he gave about using the Compressor to sustain clean sounds was amazing

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

You see these are things you can’t teach. You simply feel them you know like your just dialed in as Randy Hanson is. Some say it’s there at birth and it shows you as you go.

[@RASTAPUNK24]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrMcflanigengaming]

Just when I thought know body gets me 😂

[@roknrolbilly]

pretty cool freind!

[@williamsteele8891]

Thanks!

[@vajraloka1]

I wonder what kind of single coil pick ups he has.

[@michaelbingham4505]

Quite understandable but if you was to go deep into Randy and only Randy with your talent just think how far this could go. You see Robin T and Stevie Ray V. Go way out into their own individuality to accommodate their own purpose in life.Randy is Great but it is to sustain Jimi who been done that all of that.

omg, Hendrix took everything from this guy!

[@shocko77]

Lol

[@bobcatstillwell4844]

Randy Hansen is Jimi Hendrix reincarnated. As a teen, I had a massive Hendrix collection! I close my eyes and I cannot tell the difference! A huge salute to Randy!👏

[@ewoh24]

Why does it sound like Tom Pettys doing a voiceover???

[@fredsampson]

Floyd rose trem

[@FELAKUTI360]

Your not Jimi Hendrix 😳

[@danielhoward4566]

Either are you. lol

[@bobsebring2819]

So nothing about Randy's guitar effects huh? nice😤

[@davidharrick469]

Randy doesn't get the credit he deserves. He is a masterful guitar player, and no one can play Jimi's songs as well as Randy.

[@Landerdog]

This guy is great. Jimi was one of a kind in a different era. Personally, I don't understand wanting to sound so much like someone else, even though we all do it to some degree. Being too literal seems like some kind of thievery.

[@thepirhomancer9745]

Dude's just trying to making a living,besides,how else would you ever get a chance to feel what it might have been like to see Jimi live if not for guy's like Randy!?

[@pittsa5919]

Ä

[@Stereostupid]

It was recommended to randy to try a hendrix tribute and he didn't believe how successful it turned out to be there happened to be a huge demand for it and no one better suited in a way he's amazing...randy does have his own original music too that sounds his own

[@BasVossen]

For folks that want to Experience how it was going to the Experience, this is as close as it gets. I saw Randy perform during a Hendrix memorial festival in Tilburg, the Netherlands, 1992, where also Noel Redding, Snowy White, the Hamsters and Buddy Miles played. I'm lucky to say my bass teacher, Walter, backed up a lot of the bands!

[@jacktheglide9411]

Where's the improv in classical music? 😑

[@jimgatlin9602]

No disrespect but-who the hell is Randy Hansen??

[@BasVossen]

it is the dude in the video that will show if you scroll up. He's Canadian, like Frank Marino. Robin Trower is English, and Randy California (Spirit) is American as far as I know.

[@xpicklepie]

@@BasVossen Randy is from Seattle, USA.

[@mikecollins9789]

By far the closest thing to Jimi Hendrix alive today.

[@danielhoward4566]

Who the hell is Jim Gatlin?

[@michaelskooma8537]

Yep Jimi went into the univibe first to get that good machine gun type effect

[@user-1-800-spanked]

if Jimi were alive i am sure he would have loved a Floyd Rose
