@@timlewis6429 Sorry about the delay in replying. I've only just seen your comment. The Mojo Club was a small venue, a former church hall. The only seating was around the sides of the room. Most people stood/danced. The stage was only a couple of feet high. The dressing room was at the back of the room so Jimi and the boys walked through the crowd to reach the stage. People gasped in surprise when they saw Jimi. The show was exactly as you'd expect from the band including teeth playing, etc. We stood just a couple of feet away from the stage.

53 years since Jimi's death, and there still has been no guitar player to even come close to his genius. I'm afraid we will never see one like him again.

What I like about Jimi the most is how humble he was. A lot of people don't realize how utterly shy Hendrix was because of his stage antics. I only wish that artists today with a quarter of his talent dropped the ego.

Why was he so prasied . He was not as good as any other groups that were around at the time. He was just louder than the other. And his guitar playing was just making a shredding sound that Hurt your ears!!! Why wasn't Jimie Hendrix or Jim Morrison or Janis Joplin or brain Jones ever Run over told that they were only junkies?? Because they were on heroin the same as Stevie wright was. But they died from it. At least Stevie wright tried to get help for his drug addiction. But the doctor's that he went to for help just made him even worse. Maybe he would have been better off if he had died along with the others. He would have been a music God. In stead of a junkie and a alcoholic has been. That lost his talent because of it. So sad. He was a great performer and song writer and legend. Taught the rest of the front men how to entertain the people.

As the astute Bill Hicks expressed, "Hendrix was an alien, ok? His ship landed, they said, ‘Jimi, show ‘em how it’s done and we’ll pick you up in 28 years.’"

Same here brother. Jimi still Chief!

Hendrix composed on acoustic. Just so happens that he recorded an acoustic demo of a whole album. These tapes are titled 'Black Gold'. The estate has had these tapes for many years, have promised to release them, and yet here we are in 2021, still waiting. The last few releases of Hendrix studio recordings have done nothing for his legacy except make it harder for the uninitiated to find his prime material. The estate needs to face the fact that best of what was not released in his lifetime has long been available and hard core fans already have it (ironically with the exception of Black Gold). Anything else that remains should be released as archival material, big multi disc sets that collectors and completists will purchase. Not straining credulity by piecing together run throughs, outtakes and alternate versions that have better takes already released and claiming it as a lost studio album just as Jimi would have intended it. If they are afraid they won't make much money off Black Gold then save the big promotion campaign and lush packaging and just put it out there, charge a bit extra if they feel that they must. There are many long time Hendrix fans who have spent hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars on his music who would gladly reach into their pockets one more time to purchase Black Gold. This is a whole album of Hendrix on acoustic, rare enough in itself, but more than that it is his first recorded demo of a complete album (maybe a concept album) that the world never got to hear in a final form. I live in hope that I will get to hear it, one day, preferably sooner rather than later. By the way the raven haired beauty in the Hound Dog clip is Kathy Etchingham, Jimi's girlfriend at the time. Not groupie, not hanger on. She was incedibly important to Jimi when he came to London as an unknown and then broke through and rapidly achieved stardom. She gave him a lot of support and it is really cool that she appears in this clip, she is a big part of the Jimi Hendrix story. Her middle name is Mary. After she and Jimi had an argument she stormed out and when she returned Jimi had written the Wind Cries Mary for her. So to call her an inspiration or even muse for Jimi is justified.

I had a poster of Jimi Hendrix on my bedroom wall since I was about 9 years old. He was from outer space. We were sure of it. The way he dressed, the way he played. He was definitely not from around here. I would describe him as a percussive instrumentalist. He definitely changed the sonic landscape of the electric guitar. He did Bob Dylan's song "All Along the Watchtower." Bob heard it and said "I'll never play It sgain." In a way he was bowing his head with respect. I dig them both. Robin Trower could carve the air like that. After Jimi's passing Robin bought Hendrix's equipment. Jimi Hendrix spawned a new breed of guitar player. Not until Eddie Van Halen would there be another person who made such a big influence on the way the guitar was played. Thank you Mr Hendrix..

He was so proficient in his skill, that it really allowed him a lot of freedom to do what he wanted to with the guitar. That's what I think that I like about him so much. He probably never played anything the same way twice, and it never got boring. Always very exciting to listen to

I first heard Foxy Lady on the radio in the sixties. I went out and bought the album, "Are You Experienced" and listen in disbelieve that this mesmerizing sound was made by a human being. There are so many wonderful guitar players right accross the music spectrum and they play great too yet, during the short time he was with us Jimi Hendrix wove magic spells with every note he played and every song he sang. But it was really Jimi's relationship with the guitar that seemed to create a symbiosis- guitar and player, that seemed as though the instrument itself became a living thing of rare musical beauty. A fantastic joy, Fil to see the acoustic Hound Dog clip - imagine being there at that party?

In this clip, you can see how true Jimi stayed to the "Old Negro Blues" sound of the 1920s forward. It is so natural for him. Jimi on an acoustic, is just so rare, and very cool. Looking at Jimi's clothing, you can see a lot of what Stevie Ray Vaughn took from his childhood idol. The loud jackets, and hats etc. Jimi was the first, and will always be the Best in my opinion.

I remember seeing the film Experience at the Paris Pullman cinema in Drayton Gardens from which the 12 string stuff and probably Hound Dog too came (I can't recall for sure) in 1968 and was so excited as a 15 year old to see the Experience twice at the Albert Hall in February 1969 and Jimi again at the Isle Of Wight in 1970. The thing that make people say he's 'messy' or whatever was all about the note by note search and the thing that made him and keeps him up there with the best is that every single note mattered and when he was on there was literally nobody to touch him. I'm enjoying listening to your analysis. Thanks

Jimi’s rhythm guitar was often overlooked. Everyone was so awestruck with his lead guitar ability, that they often didn’t even look at his mastery with other instruments...Jimi Hendrix played brilliant bass guitar too. If you listen to the album Electric Ladyland, you will hear his style of bass playing on over half the album. See if anyone can tell the difference between Noels bass playing, and Jimi’s on the album. 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be) is an excellent example of Jimi’s bass playing!

In 1972 my girlfriend and I went to the Biograph theater in Washington DC. To see the new Hendrix movie Rainbow Bridge. I was floored by the music and his attitude. And I had to hit three record stores on the way home before I found the album in stock. They had six of them and I got three. I usually bought two of the same albums one for on the living room shelf for when I had company. And one locked away in a closet kept pristine to listen to with headphones on a Sansui G-33000. But I had to get one for my brother. I put it on the same level of musicianship as Electric Ladyland.

Amazing talent and soul. Such a loss for us all to lose him so young. Can you imagine the breadth and width of his discography and impact had Jimi had an Eric Clapton or BB King length career?! Thanks for your research and musical education, Fil. Always enjoy what you have to say. Cheers.

Just before going to see Harrison i heard my first taste taste Jimi Hendrix Smash hits and i loved it shortly after coming back home i learned to play guitar but it was difficult because for years i had parallisis in my right side and i have parallisis in my eye but persavered and still play not as good as Jimi but do a few of his songs and love to hear you Fil analize his playing ,,you are wonderfull and very talented so again i love jimi and thanks for the video!!!

Jimi was almost beyond cool. He channelled the entire history of the blues and mixed in the reds, greens and purples from outer space for good measure. There was something not of this world about him. He was great fun too, so much laughter.

First off Hendrix invented a lot of improves like partial Barre chords with the thumb over the top down on the neck and play licks to chords without moving much. Chet Adkins , Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Waylon Jennings, Haggard and Nelson and a few others were so underated guitarists that played when they'd sing. Hank Jr is another. Don't know where I'm going with this other than pay attention to detail you can learn a lot.

Well, I love Jimi and am heavily influenced by him. But JImi didn't invent either of those things. Blues players (and others) had been using their thumb for barre chords before Jimi was born and guitarists have been playing chords and melodies mixed together since the instrument was invented 100's of years ago. But Jimi did massively change how electric guitar was played and he hugely influenced probably millions of guitarists, myself included.

On July 17, 1967, one of the oddest musical pairings in history comes to an end when Jimi Hendrix dropped out as the opening act for teenybopper sensations The Monkees. The booking of psychedelic rock god Jimi Hendrix with the made-for-television Monkees was the brainchild of Hendrix’s manager, Mike Jeffery, who was seeking greater public exposure for a young client who was a budding star in the UK, but a near-unknown in his native United States. It was in the UK, in fact, that Monkee Mike Nesmith first heard a tape of Hendrix playing while at a dinner party with John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton. Nesmith and his fellow Monkees Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz became instant Jimi Hendrix fans, and after witnessing his legendary performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, they encouraged their own manager to invite the little-known but highly respected Jimi Hendrix Experience to join their upcoming U.S. tour. Hendrix himself appears to have had no direct input on the decision, though he’d made his opinion of the Monkees clear several months earlier in an interview with Melody Maker magazine: “Oh God, I hate them! Dishwater….You can’t knock anybody for making it, but people like the Monkees?” Nevertheless, Hendrix joined the tour in progress in Jacksonville, Florida, on July 8. Predictably, the reception given to the now-legendary rock icon by the young fans of the bubblegum Monkees was less than worshipful. As Mickey Dolenz later recalled, “Jimi would amble out onto the stage, fire up the amps and break out into ‘Purple Haze,’ and the kids in the audience would instantly drown him out with ‘We want Daaavy!’ God, was it embarrassing.”

A couple things.Hes in a tv studio.The guitar was borrowed and restrung for him but the nut wasnt turned around so you get all that ringing.Check out that nasty wound on the web between his thumb and fore finger on his left hand caused by trashing his room in Sweden.Lastly anyone notice the pick disappearing near the beginning?

Hound Dog reminds me of Robert Johnson's approach of singing, and playing rhythm and lead all at the same time!

“Let me do it again. Hey don’t waste all that film there! Stop it for a second!” Haha Hendrix is the man

Jimi was a sublime cocktail of elements all coming together to make an utterly unique player, arriving at precisely the right moment in history. His appearence and character all channelled through his incredible guitar playing to inspire us for generations to come. I have recognized his genius instinctively for 50 years and now listening to your professional analysis here, helps me understand why.

Yea, saw that same exact billing in Berkeley as a kid, and it's the first place I ever saw this Jimi clip too. The first one of those _theater concerts_ I saw though was Song Remains The Same and Pink Floyd, Live at Pompeii. I'll never forget that day.

When I think of Jimi Hendrix, I always think of the E7#9 chord.

Jimi was a master at what he did, that's why so many wanted and still want to be like him. But there can be only one Jimi. Jimi was actually pretty bashful until he got a guitar in his hands then he came to life. 🤘

Great Video of acoustic Jimi Hendrix! I enjoy acoustic strumming and picking and to see the second video again reminds all of us of his mastery and vulnerability. You demonstrating his cord change ups brought much joy. Your guitar lessons are Masterclass, as I believe I have said in another post. Thank you.

Just saw at 8:59pm NY time, good evening its Raini, stay healthy, Fil; brilliant man Mr. Hendrix always. As well, brilliant analysis and demonstration Fil, good seeing you and I am fine just busy, but your live streams I gave a thumbs up always. So, cheers and outstanding this analysis and your live stream Saturday Aug. 22nd 2020.👍🧸🎻 Good night Fil, and have a great week.😎🎸🎵🎼

Hello Fil, Still with you, been working some long days, as many as 12 hours so time is at a premium. I may have mentioned I have been to Jimi's grave as I lived next to the cemetery he was in, the Evergreen Memorial Cemetery located in Renton, Washington, state, near Seattle. Jimi's dad Al lived in Renton. He was the real deal, there will never be another like him. Glad your doing good. All the best from Oregon, C.

I like the way you smile when you're looking Jimi or Greg Lake playing guitar !

I learned how to play this when I was about 12... I must of played my brothers cassette tape over 100 times trying to get it down... when I here this track it brings me right back to those days of non stop playing for hours upon hours where the fingers would lose skin and bleed just a bit.... I’m sure some can relate

Sorry to jump in on you, almost a year later. Like you, I grew up when you played a record a jillion times and figured out the song, as best you could, by ear. Brother, I know the work you put in. What I wouldn't have given to have KZread. LOL I spent 2 months, maybe longer, learning, Mood for a Day. I knew I had the chops, what I didn't know was the tuning. Haha. I was laffing my ass off when you said how many times you replayed your brothers cassette. We were cave dwellers when it came to available material to learn from, by comparison to the incredible players today. I recall when KZread first appeared; I think I about bled my fingers dry. Kid in a Candy Store. I have a '71 Martin D 12-20 with so much Rosewood, I used to polish it and sleep with it, that'll make sense to you. LOL Plus, remember when you needed to do an alternate tuning, it was by ear. I still appreciate the fact that I can ear tune without an electric tuner to alternate tunings C, D, E and G, etc, and be pretty damn close. Something i think alot of the players today never learned, as a natural thing. Damn, there's some great, great players today. I remember going to parties and if there were other players, it might be one other dude. Instant hook-up with the ladies. You'll remember how when you finally got the song you were working on down, you could play as well or better as the original artist because of all the practice. Sorry to bend your ear so much, you just brought back some great memories. Your handle wouldn't be jguitar, if you didn't know your game. Take care and stay healthy. I love playing as much today as I did when I was learning every lick to the "Needle and the Damage Done. Thanks for the memory jog. I have 2 original Beatles and James Taylor songbooks from 1970, and every song and music sheet from Neil Young and CSNY. My treasures. Where'd the years go. Good health to you.

when i saw this on the movie, ‘Jimi’ , i found a vinyl-record album store in NYC, and they sent it right to me...i had to have access to that beautiful rendition of that song. i love watching them play, even as a listener/dancer. it’s been said so very many times...but what if he had merely been allowed to play/learn/play…and had it been up to us, collectively, to record him? thank you, Fil! 💔

Interesting to hear Jimi on acoustic, since most probably think of him as playing electric.

I'm so jealous of my older brother ... On leave in London1966 he met Noel Redding and Hendrix. And being a bass playing Army artilleryman (loader on the 155 Howitzer) he talked bass with Noel Redding. He even got a picture of him and Redding, and Jimmies arm

Thank you for your analysis. Extremely interesting. From a person who has witnessed Jimi play live with The Jimi Hendrix Experience more than once, I can only say that the real gift that Jimi had was that he had become so proficient with the guitar that he and the instrument were almost as one. The guitar became his tool to musically express himself with the minimum of effort, due to his extreme proficiency, rather than being just an instrument to be played technically. Indeed at that time Jimi was acclaimed as the first man to make the guitar actually talk. Of course there were the stunts, showmanship, and the loudness of the music was an important factor too, but when you are at such a level as Hendrix was you develop an individual artistic creative style that is almost a characterization of your very self. That is what was really magical, because when Jimi played you could feel that in his music, and that feeling from the music was extremely difficult to replicate. Jimi did not help others to do that either. First there was the reversed stratocaster played left handed. Second Jimi was very picky indeed about what strings he used on his guitar to achieve his sound. Third he was renown for slackening off strings so others could not replicate his sound, sometimes to such an extent that the whole guitar went way out of tune. I can remember one gig where Jimi actually called out on the stage for Eric Clapton (who was in the audience) to come up on stage and tune his guitar. No ego, such a humble, quiet, and shy guy off stage, with a lovely sense of humor too. Jimi never even thought that he came close to being anywhere near the greatest guitarist who had ever lived. But fact is that he was a creative musical genius, and all his fans who loved him knew it. When Jimi died I wept. The greatest loss to music of a generation. How I miss him, even today. Remembering back, I was so lucky to have seen him perform. God bless Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell, and Noel Redding........The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Performing for God and the Angels now.

Long, long time Jimi fan here; he's my favorite musician of all time. I often tell people that most have no idea how well he played acoustic and bass guitar. I remember a well known musician, can't remember his name, who saw Jimi play a lot in the village before his British fame. He said it was amazing to see him go from acoustic to electric and still have such control on both. Remember, it's been said that Jimi wanted to do an acoustic set at Woodstock but there were those who were against it. It's amazing how much youtube and the internet have increased my research on Jimi.. Thank you internet and thank you Wings of Pegasus.

Rock Maestro Fil...that was a fabulous analysis.of my favorite Jimmy Hendrix video...and the quality was amazing...and his whole aura was really beautiful...his clothes, the way he played..just makes me sad that's such a beautiful man died so young....I never saw that hound dog video...what rythm and riff...that's my kind of croud! Well it used to be..lol

In the intro to song on the second take he does a two note bend that is so unusual and so Jimi.

I wonder if Jimi ever played the same song twice, not for lack of mastery but because of it?

Having soul and feel and sound like someone that came off the farm from the south like he jumped back to blind man guys and big bill bronze wow and great singing..

I've seen this Hear My Train a'Comin about 10 times over the years. Always the same roller coaster ride... A laugh during the 'don't go wasting all that film...", a tear during the performance (song resonates,,,what can I say) then a laugh again at the end, "Did you think I'd do that ?". amazing. Song also bookended Jimi Hendrix: Blues. The main performance to open the disc, Rainbow Bridge version (Berkeley ?) to close it. I bought that album new in '71 and always loved this track. CD brought out the tuning problems but the spoken/played intro made me brush aside all that. Times were i'd hit 'play' again, just to hear that. An acoustic was played on Mountain "Climbing" for the song 'The Laird'. This was a gift from Jimi to Felix Pappalardi. If memory serves, it was a little parlor sized Martin Jimi strung lefty, so when strung righty. the high E had a rattle to it, giving this slide parts a sitar like buzz. Worked great on this.

How did I miss this one?!? Rare to see indeed. Great video Fil.

What a sweet soulful baritone he had.

Facinating to watch you break down & demonstrate Jimi's guitar playing. Even though he was on this Earth for a short time, he and his music were a true gift. Thanks FIL, I did learn more about his skills through your video here.🎸☮️

That 2nd video with him playing Hound Dog is just sick man. Unreal.

Rock Fil, always a great lesson. I have to shout for Jimi!!! Thanks Fil

Oh those 60's pants! He was amazingly cool! Gone way too soon damn!
