His comping of the bompa-bompa chords and the classic double stop riff (that Chuck borrowed from T-Bone Walker, and jump blues after all!) is rock solid, befitting of a back-line player, well schooled in all those chitlin circuit bands where you could be fined if you missed a beat or lagged a note, over which he paints astral dreams of sheer sonic bliss...

I love that everyone talks about that note around 2:33 - that bend where he throws is left arm over his head in unison with the bending of the note. I first saw this video as a teenager and this one note touched me in a profound way, and it has stayed with me since then. And I love seeing here that so many people feel the same way.

Another great example of Jimi's mastery of feedback is the Rainbow Bridge version of Hear My Train A Comin. He on que he summons feedback to imitate a train whistle. It is amazing. The control he exhibits over his ax is insane. He was quite simply "Th GOAT." I challenge you to find anyone who could do that let alone with such ease.

That distorted note on the solo is the greatest note ever played. Haunting and otherworldly.

You made me smile, when you smiled! The very end solo. I knew we all seen the impossible!

My first concert, age 14... After 2 opening acts, The Experience came out at midnight and finished just before dawn! No other live performance came close... RIP Jimi.

Amazing example of Hendrix' ability. My first Hendrix album was In The West, which had this and many other incredible live performances. Lover Man is my favorite. I played in a band and of course we played this version of Johnny B Goode.

Nothing Jimi does "correlates" to anything anyone ever does on the fretboard. His hands are so unique, as big as Chuck's, which were something else...

Special note to guitarists: Regarding that bend at 2:35: wide bends like that are particularly difficult on a Strat, because when you bend, the springs in the guitar stretch and all your strings go flat, so the tremolo is fighting you and you have to push the string even farther to get your note. In addition, the old Fenders have a fingerboard radius of 7.25 inches, so the action has to be a lot higher than on a Gibson with its flatter neck or your bends will fret out and die. As if that's not enough, Jimi's low tuning requires that you push the string farther to achieve the same change in pitch. (Luthier here, as well as guitarist, speaking.). That bend alone, under those conditions, is nothing short of phenomenal. Thanks again, Fil, and nice work on your white Strat!

Hard to believe this was 50 years ago! Loved your analysis and your playing too!

Best version of Johnny B Goode ever! High-Octane energy! This specific performance is one of his greatest in playing and top notch showmanship. I wonder if Chuck Berry crapped his pants when he heard Jimi's version. 😂😂

Thats insane playing.No wonder Clapton had second thoughts.No one has revolutionised the electric guitar as Hendrix did.The most influential guitarist of our time.

Sick. Typically another "sick", phenomenal performance from The Phenom. Jimi was a genuine human comet, blazing across our skies brightly and briefly and disappearing, and these videos and records are the bits of his cosmic dust trail; through which we can still see him and hear him. Thanks for these insights. There can never be too many.

What a pleasure your videos are. I've seen and heard Jimi's version of Johnny B Goode so many times but -- after this -- I appreciate it even more. I've been playing guitar for 50 years now, and I'm still learning from Jimi, and you!

Your analogy of Jimi's control of feedback is spot on!

Sorry to flood the chat but this is an amazing channeling of Jimi's spirit! I'm blown away by your technical demo but also your appreciation for his balls to the wall approach to performing! It's like nothing was planned. Jimi was forced to play the hits but by 1969 he was improvising everything from the songs to the setlists and of course the instrumentals! Finally, let's hear it for Billy Cox on bass guitar!

I saw him live that year. My eyes and ears were opened that night and my view of music has never been the same.

The ending still gives me goosebumps!!

This makes me smile it's so good.

Take a close look: at 16:44 he was just pushing the WAH pedal with her left hand, while he's making that pull-off licks with his right hand. hahah what a showman he was. Jimi just covered this song, "Johnny Be Goode" in concert TWO TIMES in his life, just two fkin times. And he is really IMPROVIZING, as always. He mades things easy hahah On this video, and on his last concerts (take some 70 stuff shows like Baltimore 70, or European tour 70,...) he was a fkin BEAST, really: focuzed, groundbreaking and tasty licks, he literally rewrites the same song musically between one concert to another (for example Hear my Train a Comin', or Red House), understanding that he's always singuin' while playin'!!! I don't ever imagine what he have reached if he'd spend 10 or more years with us. What a loss.

Thank you Mr. Hendrix for pioneering the greatest era of electric guitar EVER! He was so exciting to watch live, sorry I never got to see him in person. Nice analysis as always Fil!

This guy has taught me a lot about music.

Never has the universal libido flowed so effortlessly as it did through Jimi. There is nothing to break down here. There is no other electric guitarist other than him. Everybody else is playing AT it ...and as flashy and as virtuosic as they may be----they can't touch him. His energy is incinerating...He was like prometheus stealing fire from the Gods and gifting it to the world.

Why would anyone dislike this video? It's an excellent breakdown of this underestimated masterpiece of live guitar

16:43 - Notice how Jimi reaches over and turns-on the wah-wah by smacking it with his left hand. From that point onward, the wah-wah is on. 02:35 - The way he ‘pulls’ that feedback/note out of the guitar. My head practically exploded when I saw that when I was a kid……so many years ago.

Never saw Jimi but I saw Chuck berry once when I was twelve! He played a set on a flatbed truck between the first baseball game at the Metrodome in Minneapolis in 1982 ( exhibition Twins vs Phillies ) and a game played by the long gone Minnesota Kicks soccer team. He played for twenty five minutes with a pick up band of local standout musicians and just killed it...I was a really happy twelve year old. He drove up to the stage in a limo and left with that proverbial suitcase full of cash!

When I first heard Jimi Hendrix, this must have been in the mid-1970s, around then, the effect was like being hit by a bus while completely disorientated and enjoying the thrill of still being alive. I can remember the B side: The Wind Cries Mary, the A side memory has gone. The sound Jimi made playing his guitar made every piece of popular music guitar playing passe`. Like, nothing else mattered - probably still doesn't. Hendrix blew away everything that came before him and even now, challenges all that has come after him. Because of the tonal variations played on the record, All Along The Watch Tower, will always rate tops on my own list of songs that provided the background to the loss of my personal innocence. Wha wha, sweeping slide, muted fast strumming everything else got stood on its head so that "pop" music would never be the same ever again. I bought Are You Experienced, Jimi's first album accompanied by two white guy side men a situation that Billy Cox, session drummer sounded a disapproval of. Jimi did more than just touched those of us who happily followed the faith and mourned him deeply when at just 27, Jimi was gone. Suddenly, no build up, no warning as dark clouds covered the Sun only a desperate sense of loss. We had been gifted someone, some special and unique, never to replaced and only for a few months. The Great ones always seem to leave us, long before their time and our time too it would seem.

Fil, I truly have to thank you for this incredible music analysis videos that you provided of Jimi Hendrix-you opened my ears and mind further regarding his overall musicianship. I had to listen to the video separately as you suggested and the listening experience was amazing! Jimi was indeed an incredible musician who demonstrated that blend of-I believe you put it(albeit partially I think)as this-chaos and control and overall technique. After listening to Jimi, now I’m a bit ashamed to say that for years I wasn’t exactly “fannish” about Jimi because of his smashing guitars on stage-I believe that musical instruments are meant for playing, not destroying. So as of now, I’ve put that part aside. Since listening to your music analyses, I’m more open minded and if this is a word, more “open-eared” to all music genres. Yes I know I’ve said this before: From one musician to another musician, I sincerely thank you for all you do, Fil! 🎸

Excellent analysis. Ive seen that Berkeley performance so many times. Such a classic. Been grooving on the recently released Live in Maui cd/dvd set. Another great performance. One of his best captured on film despite the technical challenges of being on a volcano with intense wind.

Listen to the talk introduction on the - Hendrix on the West- album ..... SECOND DETAIL !!! watch before the solo at the end , how he hits and activates the wah pedal with his left hand after he clutches .....

Jimi was an alien, nobody will ever go to the places that he went on a guitar. He left everyone else way behind, even the technology at the time could not go to the places he could hear in his head. Thanks Fil.

The first time I saw controlled feedback as part of a song was when I saw Hendrix super-fan Joe Satriani on the Flying In a Blue Dream tour (late 1989 I think - maybe 1990). That opening C note, and he held it while staying at one spot on stage (“the sweet spot”), and he would just change the angle he was holding the guitar to switch the feedback to different notes. It was awesome, and technique Joe learned from studying Hendrix. Until then I knew how to make feedback, but had no idea you could actually control the pitch. Great analysis!

I am not a musician but I enjoy watching your videos and your lectures on the technique, and playing and your genuine love of music. I believe a lot of guitar players are learning from you. Thank you and keep on doing it!

Even though I have no musical skills at all, I always get a big kick and satisfaction from your videos. I enjoy how you break down the technical aspects of the artists performance and the joy and enthusiasm you put into it. Rock on!
