It's by no means one of the hardest, but that's not the point, is it? 😺 It sounds great! It sounds perfect for the song; every part is there - tone, phrasing, melodic content... Feel... To me he sounds more like Robin trower than Jimi , but then I used to think that trower sounded like Jimmy, too! 😸 Hard and good are like comparing, not apples and oranges... More like apples and bricks! Hard does NOT Make something good, and good doesn't have to be hard! For example, most of bridesmaids solos and fills are nowhere near as hard as, say... A zillion others things, but HIS ALL sound great, and absolutely perfect for a song they're in, which ACTUALLY is harder to do!!!!!!!!!! .. Short form... Kudos to Ernie 😺😺😺!!!!!!!!!!

What’s his rating?

Ernie Isley is a great guitarist, but he was taught by the greatest guitarist! Lots of people don't know, but Jimi Hendrix was a guitarist for the Isley brothers and best friends with them and he taught Ernie when he was a kid before he died, and that's where ernie's talent comes from - is he saw all the things that Jimmy had actually invented. There's a lot of great guitars but Jimi Hendrix had things that no one else had, he actually struck fear and a lot of the huge guitarist of his time! because they couldn't do what he was doing. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Miss Jimi, he went out too young

One day back in 1973, I was babysitting for a couple that allowed me to use their stereo. Once the kids were asleep, I turned to a station playing this tune. This wasn't my transistor radio. This was a stereo consule with all the sound settings that made this music come alive. To this day, I still think of that moment in my youth & how great the guitar made me feel and move. Yeah.

Just like you, Christine, back in that day--maybe in 1975 or so, they used to have 'concert shows' on TV on Saturday nights at 10:30 thru midnight in the midwest. These guys came on and I was transfixed by Earnie Isley standing apart from the rest of the group, they wearing their matching tight white satined outfits, and Earnie in a white buckskin jacket, jamming at the end of the stage in his own world. Very special childhood memory. I cannot now play this song only once.

Thats the longest & best guitar 🎸 jam ever

When this was out as a mega hit, I saw them perform this live in upstate New York (State U. of Geneseo). They did it in one set and then repeated it later much to the crowd's surprise and joy. In addition to this being an excellent song, folks really missed Hendrix and it took us right into Hendrix/Isley Brothers mode. I'll always remember that concert.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your brother and founding member Rudolph Isley. Your music has been a big part of the soundtrack of my life. He will be forever missed. 😢

Hail and farewell, Rudolph. 🙏🏾

The imagery in this song is so real, the attitude of the lady, her reaction, his wanting to take her home, the reaction on her face, " Look yeah but don't touch"! This is definitely a "PLAYERS" SONG!

I saw the Isleys in Jackson Ms. in the early 70s, Ronald Isley voice was so pure, I was blown away. And of course Rudolph and O Kelly were captivating, so soulful

All nationalities love the Isley Brothers ,,,Just A Power House Of Sound,,,class of 1973 here,,,What a life ,,🏆🎶🎸

So glad my MOM played all these records back in the day`````````LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They played this song on 'Don Kirsher's Rock Concert' wayyyyy back in the 70's. Ernie played a nice white strat thru Wah -> Electro Harmonix Big Muff -> Maestro Phase-Shifter....and (if I recall correctly) several Peavey stacks. (Yes, I'm a guitar-player.)

MY G O D THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE

When you get a magical group of talented brothers hooked up to a fantastic music machine, you of course get nothing but super bad jams.

What a pleasure to listen to this again brings back so many memories, the Isley brothers🎸 were a head of there time, with there unique sound,🎶🎵🎵

What can you say about the Isley brother. Legendary group. So many fantastic songs. Ron Isley voice blows you away.

3 + 3 one of the best albums ever. Really unique. When guys from the 50s that had hits, got with they're brothers and nephews and created the something phenomenal in the 70s.
