    @jimihardin Před 2 lety +3

    Also, your reaction to Jimi Hendrix was freakin PRICELESS!!! His impact in the four short years he was a solo artist speaks for itself. In the 60's segregation ruled and black people couldn't go into a lot of restaurants, clubs, stores ect. Jimi helped open those doors by the passion of his music, the style of his dress and the perception of what black people could do given the chance. Of special note, rock music was not a genre yet and Jimi doing what he was, changed the expectation of what music could be. It's so good to see a whole new generation of people feeling what I did then. UNBELIEVABLE! I played drums in a Hendrix tribute band 10 years ago and it was my honor to help keep his memory alive. Thank you so much for recognizing his brilliance and showing the world...(I changed the spelling of MY name to Jimi to honor the influence and impact he had on music and humanity). Jimi Hardin

    Jimi Hendrix was a guitarist wayy ahead of his time. All his songs, covers or not are amazing and his live peformances are a site to behold. He truly does make love to his guitar, especially in a live peformance back in 69 where he grinded the guitar against amps, humped it and lit it on fire while basically playing the guitar still. I don't remember what festival it was tho. It should be up on yt tho. Glad to see you're reacting to one of my favourite musicians :D

    There was Jimi and then there was everyone else. I saw him 4 times. Yes, "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Machine Gun" his two hard political statements are incredible. But try him doing "Wild Thing" from The Monterey Pop Music Festival and "All Along The Watchtower". "Wild Thing" especially is life altering. And shocking to this day.

    Jimi Hendrix was a genius, a phenomenon, a titan among men. He defied all the odds, and in spite of his lamentably short lifespan, he changed every corner of the music industry in the 27 years he was alive. His unique artistic vision resulted in a legacy that has influenced the entire world.

    As a guitarist myself, even though my late father played guitar as well, Jimi Hendrix was the reason why I pushed as far as I could in my guitar playing ability. Every guitarist will say that they were influenced by another guitarist and if they don’t say Jimi Hendrix also influence them they are lying.

    Jimi was in 2023. The audience was in 1967. They were young kids on their best behavior on first dates and had a curfew. The most white kids could do back then, unless they were dancing with a partner, was tap their feet and clap at the end. Jimi was from another planet and blew their minds. They are in shock.
    I was 13 then and i always thought this song was about the Vietnam war. 😂 It wasn't until a few weeks ago on youtube reaction videos that i heard the lyrics.

    Jimi had to learn to play his guitar as a 6 year old child in Seattle on a $10.00 Sears and Roebuck special, because his family was so poor. Jimi being left handed, had to play his guitar (most are made for right handed people) upside down. Can you imagine having to learn all of the chords backwards and upside down? That's why he was, and is considered the greatest rock and Blues guitarist that ever lived. And that comes from all of the other great guitarists in the Rock world. Simply ahead of his time. He died way too young as well. (age 27).

    • @kgunitkeese17
      @kgunitkeese17 Před 4 lety

      He didn’t play the guitar completely upside down despite switching it to the other side. Jimi Hendrix switched his guitar to the other side but he restrung it. Paul McCartney was the same way too. The only one that I can think of that played the guitar completely upside down without restringing it was Albert King.

    Really enjoy your reactions! Made me laugh when you commented on recording technology "back in the day". Records were scratched out with sharp sticks, and mixes made taping together paper cups! LOL!! HAHAHA. I've got a few suggestions from the Progressive Metal Genre - you will be amazed at the musicianship, and transitions.
    - Rush -> "YYZ" - they're Canadians, so they pronounce the song title as "Y Y Zed." They're one of the early prog rock bands, incredible musicians, and were loved by "music nerds".
    - Rush -> "Spirit of the Radio"
    - Yes -> "Roundabout"
    You've just scratched the surface of guitar greats. Jimi is definitely at the head of the line. He died too soon though, but set the music world on fire with his talent. Here are some other awesome guitar players.
    - Stevie Ray Vaughn - "Texas Flood" You gotta do a live version for the full effect. :-D SRV also died too young. He had mad respect for Jimi, who was one of his influences.
    - Song -> Voodoo Chile. If you react to this, you should do Jimi's version first, and then Stevie Ray Vaughn's version. Both are FIRE!
    - Living Colour - "Cult of Personality" - live on Arsenio. Vernon Reid's fingers are moving so fast, they're a blur!
    - Steve Vai - "Tender Surrender" - live

    @kingbee48185 Před 4 lety

    Jimi will always be the GOD of electric guitar players. He was only too disappointed that many of his own people didn't take to him, but those that did see him live sure did. Yes, he played with his teeth, behind his head upside down, behind his back, between his legs but near the end of his tragically short lived career, he started to abandon that and play music that was much more funky, with more blues and jazz fusion. See if you can get a live version of Wild Thing or The Star Spangled Banner to see what a stunning live performer he truly was. I feel Jimi broke down more racial barriers than all of the others before him. I was born in 63, I was 7 when he tragically died and was converted around 78. Still love the man and his music. No electric guitarist will ever surpass him

  • @Bezzell_Rocket
    @Bezzell_Rocket Před 4 lety

    All the flashiness aside, he had a larger than life statement in the late 60s which lacks focus today. "Ain't puttin' no rope around me!!!!" In the 60's and just a few years earlier that was a real threat. When they played gigs down south, they caught tons of flak, and literal life-threatening instances. I don't think people give him much credit for what he did for the human race as a whole. Not only was he a complete genius, but a peacemaker and heartbreaker at the same time, but something larger to which we have not yet begun to view it's scope.
    The United States of America wanted nothing to do with him. He had to fly across the pond to get famous........then come back, and still work for it all over again. A trailblazer, genius, and wonderful soul that had to burn out way too fast . To the benefit of us all. True hero of humanity without ever knowing it. Just check out any guitar mags from the last 40 years. He's always on the cover or in the top TWO!!

Whether it was the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, CCR, Santana...didn't matter, took them all too much for granted! You'd think I'd have kept my torn-in-half tickets...Santana&Tower of Power intermixed the bands, on stage, in Fresno, once upon a time but do i have proof? Nope! Took the concert too much for granted, too drunkORstoned to save the stub. Same with the others.

    Pretty big sound for a trio; Jimi on Stratocaster, Noel Redding on Jazz bass, Mitch Mitchell drums. Legendary trio; see also "Fresh Cream"

    Say hello to the GUITAR GOD!!! With teeth, behind the head, between the legs, behind the back played effortlessly. A right hand strat turned upside down and strung left hand. Light years ahead of his time then and now. Seen by me on numerous occasions. Want a new trip with Jimi? Try Jimi Hendrix, Johnny B Goode, Berkeley. Chuck Berry, who wrote the song, said of Jimi that he quote, 'Played the crap out of the song.' Starts off by saying, 'Let's do a little loose jamming with Johnny B Goode.' What happens next is a sort of cross between a guitar, a song called Johnny B Goode, and an express train going flat out. Again, has to be seen to be believed. Any sane person would say no, it cannot be. But this is Jimi Hendrix, and he is a musical genius who makes things that seem impossible with guitar possible. So at one with the guitar that Jimi and the guitar are one. The guitar is the bridge that allows the music to flow from Jimi to you effortlessly. Incredible? No. Beyond that. Far far beyond that. On another level.

    Btw he also was right handed but only played left handed. He is a god tbh. A person that can't ever be replaced. Rip jimi

    The crowd don’t know how to react! When you see this for the first time? It blows your f..ing mind and I agree. So imagine eyeing this over 50 years ago?

    Just for a contrast, check out the live at Woodstock version of Hey Joe. Totally opposite, no teeth, no behind the head, just stands there and casts his spell. Closes Woodstock with Hey Joe.

    Man when I first heard this song I was high on 2 tabs of Acid and it was one of the most intense and wonderful experiences I’ve ever felt

  • @827dusty

    Notice in the video, his guitar is upside down...That's unbelievable! That song is an old Blues song from the 1930s or something. Its been around for a while, but Jimi made it famous when he recorded it in 1967 with the then power trio Band called "The Jimi Hendrix Experience." Ther is a whole shit load of Jimi's stuff on video from the BBC in London, his later band "Band of Gypsies, all sorts of stuff for you to learn about Hendrix. Most is on you tube, and not hard to find. Enjoy your "Jimi Hendrix Experience."

    Couldn’t find this tid bit in the comments-Jimi was a leftie. He restrung a right handed guitar. He was The Godfather of guitarship - many newer icons learned from him. Off to see if you reacted to more Jimi. 🎸

    Getting a gun and shooting your girlfriend is actually a really common theme in blues songs, there’s dozens of songs dating back to Robert Johnson’s “All my love’s in vain” through to “Down by the river” by Neil young. It even has a name: ‘murder ballads’.
