WHY JIMI HENDRIX KICKS ASS

[@ghfdt368]

id love to give credit too is Jimi's band members who are very often overlooked. Jimi is a legend of course, but Mitch Mitchell his drummer and Noel Redding his bassist in the Jimi Hendrix Experience should be remembered. They kept up with the legend during his performances and albums which shows how talented and skilled they were and you can argue are right up there as one of the best rhythm sections of all time. One thing I appreciate about Hendrix too is that he knew this! in songs like All Along the Watchtower and Hey Joe he really lays back and lets them carry the song and I mean the bassline in hey Joe is absolutely awesome.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

The drumming on hey joe by Mitch Mitchell is nothing short of spectacular!!

[@musselchee9560]

Jimi showed Noel how he wanted it played.

[@Atomic1710]

Mitch Mitchell was the jimi Hendrix of drums.

[@TheRumbles13]

Billy cox ftw

[@robertpatterson3406]

Mitch will always be one of the best drummers ever in my opinion and Noel was an awesome musician but I don't think that he was very satisfied. I have heard that Jimi wrote all of the bass lines.

Best "Hendrix Style Lesson" on KZbin. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@averychilco]

If you really want to learn guitar, never even attempt a hendrix lesson until you have been playing for 10-15 years or you will become discouraged. I always hated hendrix because I seen his music as an impossibility to learn.

[@rangeofmotion5993]

Once you learn the Hendrix style and you can visualize the different chord inversions on the guitar neck, the flood gates will open... PS... your piano playing is great! Any piano tutorial/tricks/tips videos????

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I actually cut my finger while cooking yesterday, nasty cut! Hard to play guitar at the moment, I might do a piano video!

[@rangeofmotion5993]

@@GuitarPilgrim That would be awesome! I started learning piano a few months ago and it is crazy how quickly it started to click just based on my minimal music theory knowledge and by using my ear to figure out extended chords. It could be interesting to see how you have taken what you know on guitar and translated that over to piano (and vice versa). Cheers!

[@stijn4771]

Sad to see big ass money corporations blocking the legacy of a free spirit, who surely would want everyone to have acces to as much musicality as possible, if he saw the internet. Good job reuploading this. Never let Jimi Hendrix fade away!

[@averychilco]

T-Bone walker is the only player that was equally as good as Jimi Hendrix, T-Bone Walker's style still has never been duplicated.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Hendrix played a mean beast that few can imitate. He got me and countless others to play, and really set the mood for the psychedelic scene without a doubt! Cheers for the vid (Even though it's a reupload haha)

[@pilsplease7561]

Stevie Ray Vaughn was one of the few that could rock it and actually in some ways improve hendrix stuff.

[@jello-tarzan]

My first Hendrix album was Band of Gypsys, I was 13. It blew my mind completely. 40 years later, I'm still in awe. Thanks for your videos!

[@liljimitwofeatherz9735]

Machine gun is the reason why I got a gtr

[@Bombilakus]

Because of Hendrix now I have 3 strats and no anxiety problems!

[@musselchee9560]

Back in the late 70s I used to own a box turntable. It could play up to seven Hendrix LPs with no deterioration in sound by the time the last album was playing. It had two small box speakers. I would set it up before going to sleep at night. The Hendrix sound lulled me to sleep and would still be playing when I woke the next day. Much later, I bought a six stacker CD player. I too have no anxeity problems.

[@jontypiper9881]

[@prasenbashistha8167]

Jimi's "All Along the Watchtower" is the best cover song ever. Period!

[@Bokaj.]

If Jimi Hendrix did a Cover of your Song, it's not longer your Song.

[@mihaiflorea1928]

True! And srv's cover of little wing amd johnny cash's cover of hurt are close seconds :)

[@hohaia01]

Hard to argue with that. The guitar work on that song was genius level. A work of art.

[@pilsplease7561]

And In my opinion the second best is Johnny Cash's Cover of Hurt. That song was Cash's after that it was a masterful piece of work

[@ronnieDshman18]

I agree... however, check out Silvertide’s cover of “Maggie’s Farm”. It’s only youtube but it’s amazing

[@bobhara7656]

Hey brother,..I love your passion for Jimi's music. I heard him at 18 years old and 2 years later put down the drums and picked up the guitar to try and figure out what he was doing. That was 52 years ago and I still can't stop playing and listening to him. You are an awesome teacher and a fine ass player. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@jochem420]

Most things he did werent that dificult, but he had a real new view on guitar, and still nobody is able to beat him in those inventive ways of playing yet

[@nahlabazile6994]

I agree it's not that difficult when you have a good level but when I first tried to learn some of his stuff, I had a very hard time because it was so different from what I had learn thus far.

[@jochem420]

@@nahlabazile6994 true, the way he plays isn't really something for beginners. Even when a riff ain't that hard to pull off, to put the same kind of energy as Hendrix in it is hard to master...

[@nahlabazile6994]

Jochem You have to earn the right to play his songs. Once you start to « understand » his playing, it opens a whole new world

[@Jturner9669]

It’s not that hard to play good, but to master it is very hard. Plus he never played the same song twice, always improving. Songs like Pali Gap show how good he really was

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Hendrix saw the guitar as an extension of an acoustic guitar. In other words he saw it as a piece of technology. He wanted to create textures not just playing notes ect. His genius lies right there turning a usually comping instrument to an up front snorting, fire breathing dragon.

[@rockyerzandikazen2734]

THe Tone from that strat is Awesome

[@kicknadeadcat]

He was amazing because he was original. No one played like that ever at that time.

[@Pimp-Master]

The first thing I fell in love with (back in my first week of college in '74) was the Hendrix in the West record, mainly Little Wing and Johnny B. Goode. My mind was thoroughly blown.

[@randyupchurch1899]

Sir,the way you approach music "ALWAYS" makes me happy&enlightened!!!...THANK YOU!

[@Ralfscho]

When I heard Jimi for the first time I was sold. And to this day he remains my favourite musician of all time. I here new things every time I listen to Drix. Too bad I could never hear him play live. My favourite Hendrix song is 1983 ...(A merman I should turn to be).

[@ryanelison4539]

Ralf yes! Me too!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

My favorite song is 'drifting' , beautiful lyrics, he was such a great songwriter...

[@patrickfoster4586]

My fav is Third Stone...wait Castles...Little Wing...no, Voodoo Chile (long version)...no wait, 1983...Freedom...wait, Electric Ladyland...no wait it's House Burning Down...Room Full of Mirrors...I GIVE UP! My fav is everything Hendrix wrote and performed!!! Depends on what mood I'm in as to my fav! Cheers P[>

[@nikzar9889]

I'd never forget the first time I heard Jimi Hendrix. It was one of his hit singles named "Fire". I heard it in movie that I don't recall the name of. But from those moments, as a non musician, a child who didn't even knew what to call this type of music, I was singing the riff of that song in variety of ways that Hendrix played it on stage. And when I finally heard the song again, I was even more than happy to know, that the song has lyrics. Thanks Jimi. For me, you did more than enough and leaved. I'll be playing your records, all nights long, brother.

[@johnd.zaranek2513]

[@davidbriggs9675]

Great tone on that Strat. That's as important as the technique. The two together equal guitar heaven.

[@jiggalojonski]

Lets all get this straight right now Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitar player of all time 🙌 hands down the style he created influenced all the musicians we listen too today but no one can play like Jimi i can however play Who Knows by the Band of Gypsies note for note 😉 it took me months playing 20-30 times a day to get it down note for note back when i was 18

[@mairenared]

Another great video Thom, you really nail Hendrix's technique. He was a superb innovator whose impact was incredible at the time. You can hear his influence in all sorts of players from SRV to Steve Vai and younger players like Frusciante and Mayer. I had the great fortune to see him live at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. I was wearing a turquoise Jim Hendrix T-shirt which, sadly, no longer fits me. A truly awesome experience :-D

Not only was he a pioneer, he also loved and believed in the teachings and the Revelation that is the urantia book. it is something about that book that inspires some of the best musicians, like Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Carlos Santana. I think it is because, after you read the urantia book you do not look at reality, or the world in the same way. and all four of those individuals gave the world much truth beauty and goodness, through their music.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thanks you Steve, very much appreciated! For me it was very simple, the moment I heard The Beatles when I was a young kid, I knew I was going to make music for the rest of my life. I started to play guitar around ten years old and later on went to the conservatoire to study guitar. Only to quite playing the guitar all together after just a few months being there and decided to study classical piano instead, which I did and was a lot of fun! That was years ago, now I enjoy making videos playing the guitar again, none of this was planned, it just kinda happened, life is like that wouldn't you agree?

[@stevelogan1699]

Guitar Pilgrim Thank you so much for replying! Your story is very interesting and, though it contains several unexpected turns, has two details which I would have expected: namely that you have had a considerable formal grounding in music and that all you do comes from genuine love of music. It interests me especially that you found things in formal study which you didn’t like and yet found a way - by shifting instrument - to continue. I am struck in your videos by both your skill in playing and in identifying the characteristics of other players. Best of all, you get to the heart of rock and roll while keeping free of false attitude. I am grateful for all of this. Thank you, and warmly, again.
