RANDY is an absolute beast in his own right. I have spent many years trying to emulate Jimi Hendrix and gave up. One day watching u tube I came across this video and thought it was a lost video of Jimi. As I listened I remember thinking Damm Jimi was on fire that day, then the camera paned a close up. I Was speechless, never did I Think in my 64yrs someone could fool me. Randy did that. If u never got to see Jimi, no one but no one does it as well as RANDY. Not to mention he is an amazing Musician of his own talent. Much Love for you RANDY. Thank u for sharing your amazing talent with us. God bless

This is one example of why Randy is called the best Jimi Hendrix tribute artist in the world.

3:30 he throws his pick in the air and catches is right on time. Wow. That was BRAVE! Skillful and brave.

More or less. Yes.

Without a doubt, THE BEST when it comes to playing like Jimi. This dude captures every essence that Jimi ever exuded. His nuance is INCREDIBLE. His technique is his own, but he pays homage to Jimi with EVERY SINGLE note. His adlibs, physical, vocal and instrumental, are so freekin' Jimi-like that it is astounding. He even moves like JMH. He handles the stage like JMH. He has mastered the guitar like JMH. He is sooooo comfortable in every way. The band deserves more than honorable mention. To play at the same level as Randy is quite an accomplishment. I'm just wondering what kind of music 12 morons enjoy. Maybe Bruno Mars? Maybe Usher? Hmmm ??

Randy saw Jimi perform in Seattle in 1970, it captured his soul, the seed was planted. Randy has every nuance of Jimi's fingerboard wizardry down to perfection..Amazing talent !

Won’t be seeing Marino anymore. I loved him and Randy. Some people spent time comparing musicians like a contest? That’s not my way. I’ve seen both Marino and Randy many times.

Pulentas. Agree Randy is good, and nail it good, and he's a underrated player. But you have to listen to Jimi Hendrix blues album, you will really understand how far out jimi is in flavour the sound, how he move the strings. I have not seen any thing like it, and it's like the string is rubber in he's hands. Randi is far from the skill of the master and creator Jimi. You have to hear what the top players of the world today says; some we have figure out, but there is still thing that jimi did that no one have ever managed to create again, still until this day. They ask, how the fuck did he do that. That said from the top guitar players of today, that we recon as one of this times best guitar players.

Thank you for keeping real music alive...

Randy is such an amazing player and one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

holy shit, close you eyes and just listen and tell me, but i don't know if he's just happens to sound like Jimi or if he's impersonating him but he sounds just damn like Jimi! You cant tell me that Jimi's spirit isn't living in that man!

Christ. Was this guy born after Jimi's death. This might be proof of reincarnation lol. NEVER heard anyone play Jimi like this guy.
