      It's not about the technique. That's what makes it so good. The blues was never about all that perfection classical musicians and jazz guys are into. It's about a level of feeling that those genres don't focus on.

      No regular guy can coordinate amazing clothes like that. It's to perfection. I'm feeling he had an artistic eye plus enlisted the help and knowledge of foxy ladies. One interviewer mentions a seamstress Jimi was seriously chatting up. It sounded like she brought him clothes to look at that day.
      I went to England in 1978 and found the most amazing clothes, the styles of hair, clothes, makeup were so creative and never made it to the USA.
      I'll have to research his style. Someone must have written a book on it by now...?

From there he took off, got high, got into to rock and with his blues background and awesome natural talent, xtra long fingers, and pitch perfect ear, he just blew the rock world away... That's why he's considered one of the greatest ever.

      +Kodiak and Grizzly Bears Speak for yourself, but not for me. You might be looking for the usual technical stuff. Jimi was a musician, not just a guitarist. And he did have a very good grasp of technique, but he never let it get in his way. Technique is one thing any musician has to learn, whether she/he is in blues, jazz, rock, classical, etc.,and it is important, but it's just a road to what you want to say. Jimi created us a new destination. (And, yes, I was a classical musician, but I always loved Jimi Hendrix.

      Technique is a means to an end, but it is not an end in itself. Hendrix understood this, but many musicians don't. Also, the introduction to "Little Wing" shows he was a master of technique, but he only used it when he needed to. The introduction to that song is pure genius.

      @lupcokotevski3668 Před 8 lety +2

      +Leeland Whitted I agree, genius. The first time I heard the intro to Little Wing it left me stunned and bewildered. Or dazed and confused. I'd not heard anything remotely like it, and I knew the work of Page, etc. Similarly, the first time I heard Purple Haze I had an out of body experience, and Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) blew my mind, and when I listen to All Along the Watchtower I still see a Monet - it is aural art. He was a virtuoso and creative genius: still the greatest rock guitarist by light years.

      Zappa was a great guitarist, definitely a better composer, and unquestionably more disciplined. But Hendrix did more to reinvent the sound of the guitar.
      Also if you compare Hendrix from his first few years as a commercial artist (i.e. his entire career) to Frank's playing during Frank's first few years as a commercial artist, Frank doesn't even come close.
      Hendrix was just starting out, while Frank had a few decades to come.

    This wonderful clip was filmed by my old classmate Peter Neal for 'The Experience', the first film about Hendrix. The Zemaitis guitar was mine, bought for my 21st birthday by my fiancee Veronica. for £30. I was up in Soho and Pete rushed in to the studio and said 'I must have an acoustic guitar - I've got Hendrix next door." I said it was a 12 string and strung right handed, but Pete just grabbed it and fled. Jimmy strung it up left handed and somehow managed to get this magic stuff out of it. I sold that guitar for £500 when I was broke in the eighties - worst thing I ever did!

      Jimi Hendrix, while good, is hardly the greatest of all time. I find most people who retell this faux fact typically have a very shallow pool of "known guitarists" to choose from. Also, they typically get quite heated when you tell them Jimi Hendrix is not the greatest guitarist of "all time".

    If you didn't know this was Jimi Hendrix, you'd be certain it was a recording by one
    of the legendary blues players from the Mississippi Delta. Perhaps Lead Belly,
    Son House or Bukka White, especially Lead Belly as he was a 12 string master.
    This is pure unadulterated Delta Blues. Jimi is channeling those roots and those
    masters he heard growing up and sucked in like the musical sponge he was. And
    remember: he's improvising this. It is the Deep Blues of The Delta, as deep as
    Robert Johnson, Skip James and Muddy Waters. Hendrix was a Bluesman at heart.

      +larry geetar James Marshall Hendrix grew up in Seattle, Washington but was exposed to classic blues. His knowledge of it was hardly encyclopedic (like Clapton) nor did he have an especially great feel for it (like Vaughan). His forte was his command of distortion and other effects, his use of a reversely strung right handed guitar, some unusual chord voicings, thumb fretting. Plugged in he was the premier psychedelic guitarist, for about four years (except for Terry Kath, who sounded so much like him in '68 but came from more of a jazz background). But this acoustic piece readily demonstrates Jim was NOT the greatest to pick up a guitar. This fawning all over him like he was some kind of god is ridiculous. There are indeed so many better country, jazz, and yes, rock guitarists than him. But the image is there, and it is reinforced by repetition.

      +Professor Musica Exactly, Professor! This is intermediate level acoustic work-if that. The description in your book of his playing being "inarticulate" and imprecise is accurate. If I watch Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, Tommy Emmanuel and then this it's easy to see Hendrix was tremendously overrated. So much of him had to do with volume, distortion, etc. I saw Terry Kath at the Fillmore in '69. Blew me away.

    Pure inspiration. He is my one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

    hypnotizing ... even though simple. Just love his style, voice, musicality ... it lives on

    I've never been one of those people to dis new music but as far as talent I just don't think anyone has ever come close to Jimi. It's not even the technical stuff, that adds to it but it's the feeling in his playing.

    An electric version of this song can be found in the album "Rainbow Bridge". This version is simply one of the best live performances in music history.
    To the ones who say H. makes mistakes while playing etc. (just in case, I haven't read the comments below for now), remember 60% of his music is IMPROVISED. All songs are performed differently each time, and that's true for "Here my train a-comin'" too. It's easy to play a song perfectly when you have played it a million times always the same way note by note.
