    Jamel, did you know that my hero, Jimi, died 50 odd years on this September 18. Yes, 50 years ago. I'm 68 y.o. and I cried today.
    James Marshall Hendrix was the hero of mine. I did'nt care for his tricks, playing with his teeth or tongue, it was part of the show to get known but he hated it all. He just wanted to play his music. That's why I loved him, like the very first time I heard Hey Joe and then Purple Haze, The wind cries Mary...
    He was my brother, man. My soul Brother.
    R.I.P. James.

And it kinda makes me think the night that Jimi die the next day his contract with his manager Mike Jeffrey was over so I find it very strange that Jimi dies the night before all of this Jimi Hendrix was murdered by his manager or people involved with him for Jeffrey was stealing Jimi money and the owen way to stop him from finding out was to kill Jimi. It is a shame that one of the worlds guitar player dies for the greed of another.

      He almost had a lefty guitar:
      In one of the ultimate sliding doors moments in rock and roll, Eric Clapton had originally planned to meet Hendrix the night of his death but that never came to fruition and left Clapton with an unwanted reminder of his friend’s demise. “The night that he died I was supposed to meet him at the Lyceum to see Sly Stone play, and I brought with me a left-handed Stratocaster. I just found it, I think I bought it at Orange Music. I’d never seen one before and I was gunna give it to him.”
      “He was in a box over there and I was in a box over here. I could see him but I couldn’t… we never got together. The next day, whack! He was gone. And I was left with that left-handed Stratocaster.”

    You do realize that Jimi Hendrix learned to play his guitar upside down. He was left-handed and couldn’t afford a left handed guitar, even if they were available then. So he is playing upside down, even more impressive, when you think about it.

    • @stuartscott9498
      @stuartscott9498 Před 3 lety +4

      With all due respect, that's not strictly true. Yes, he is left handed playing a right handed guitar but the guitar was re-strung conventionally for left handed playing i.e. with the first string at the lower edge of the fretboard and the 6th string at the upper. So, he would have no problem picking up and playing a "proper" left handed guitar. Albert King was a different matter - he used a right handed guitar turned around for left hand playing but left the strings where they were resulting in a totally unique sound and style. Later, Gibson made "signature" Flying Vees for him with a standard left hand layout for the controls but he still had the "upside down" string set up. When Jimi used Flying Vees he sometimes had a right handed guitar, sometimes left handed but they were always strung conventionally.

    • @marcofernandoguarino709
      @marcofernandoguarino709 Před 3 lety +1

      He didn't have his strings "upside down." Learning to play lefty isn't hard when you're a lefty. Check out Eric Gales. He's a modern blues player, a lefty, that does play with the strings upside down. Also, keep in mind, and I say this as a lefty guitar player, that most people have right handed guitars. So when you go to someone's house and they have a guitar lying around, you start fiddling with it, and after years of those kinds of situations, before you know it, you know how to play guitar upside down. At least for me, all the cowboy chords and bar chords are just as natural to shape upside down at this point.

    When Jimi played with his mouth I thought only used his teeth but on closer examination you can see that he obviously used his tongue as well and , on top of that , the man didn't miss a beat. If you only listened to the audio you'd never know that he did that and played behind his head. G.O.A.T.

      Well, actually he played a legato only with the hand on the frets. The tongue movement was useless for the sound, just a scenic move. But in the piece before he used his teeth as a pick.

    The crowd had that reaction when he first came on the scene because they’ve never seen anything like that. Jimi was ahead of his time and he also had his own unique sound that the world had never heard. I remember when I was around 7 years old and one of my older brothers said....check out this new Hendrix album..... I loved growing up during the 60’s & 70’s.... the greatest music ever recorded was fresh and new.

    Watched this 7 or 8 times now, love your reaction. That crowd isn't dead, they are English watching Hendrix for the first time, stunned. This stuff was everyday music in the 60's, grew up with it. What a time!!!!

    Much like John Coltrane with his sax, Jimi used his axe to PRAY with,channeling energy from nothing and making it manifest into reality. Your reaction is perfect.

    Yeah he's playing with his tongue. Nuts man. Unbelievably talented. Can you imagine what he would have done if he didn't die at 27.

      Really he's not though. He's tapping the frets with his fingers to play the notes. The tongue thing is mimed.

    He is my hero since I twelve years old heard him for the first time in 1965 and later saw him live in Stockholm 1967. A LIFE changer.
