Great reaction. Something you may not have heard about Jimi: He’s left handed but he didn’t play a left handed guitar. They cost more and when he was young, Jimi couldn’t afford one. So.....He just takes a right handed guitar, turns it upside down and teaches himself to play!!! Understand. The strings are now in reverse order on the neck! And he teaches himself to be the greatest most innovative rock guitarist ever!

Though he did play a flipped over right handed guitar, it was restrung the correct way with the lowest string on top and the highest on the bottom. He has never played the guitar with the strings in reverse order.

Thank you for your details I really love what you said and you're right on spot on Jimmy was just great he knew his guitar upside down and backwards he knew where the notes working matter where he put it behind his head or with his teeth

Yep sure thing, plus the control knobs are now all in the way too. Did you know......Jimi could play right handed too, but preferred left hand playing. He could also play acoustic (6 and 12 string), and bass. Now that's what I call a guitar player.

The guitar was part of him, like a body part. That’s how well he knew it.

Find a version of him playing The National Anthem at Woodstock

You're feelin it like a hippy chick from the 60's. Great reaction.

Jimi where just so much ahead of the time, so much musician and pure talent, so sad he are gone, but we will forever have the music 🤟🏻❤️

Purple Haze was the name of the best LSD pill in 1967. Second best Purple Owsley. Keep on tripping people!!!

that is an excellent observation that I've never heard from a young person.

Miles Davis was a very big fan of Jimi Hendrix. Jimi played by feel, and Miles was flabbergasted to find out that Jimi couldn't read music.

Bleeding heart, red house..live from royal Albert hall....The sound quality is fantastic on that recording...you can actually hear the pin drop...

Pure genius. His creative ability was beyond all measure. In my opinion he could channel the entire universe through his guitar. The notes never stopped flowing from his mind which made his music look like it just poured out like a river.

This is why Jimmie Hendrix was considered the best ever.

the best book i ever read in my life. is called excuse me while i kiss the sky. its all about his short life. fantastic read !!!!

So casual. When you are this good, when you are ten blocks up the road from every other musical artist, when you are on the next level, when you make the guitar speak, you and the guitar become one. This is where Jimi was at, and that is why he was and still is in my own opinion, the greatest guitarist who has ever lived. Jimi was special. In 50 years I have seen nobody that has matched or bettered him, and I should know.......I have seen The Jimi Hendrix Experience live more than once. A shout out too for Noel Redding (bass) and Mitch Mitchell (drums), both superlative artists in support of Jimi in The Experience. Now two more for you. Jimi Hendrix, Johnny B Goode, Berkeley. Chuck Berry who wrote the song stated that Jimi, 'Played the living crap out of the song.' Prepare to be blown away. Next, Jimi Hendrix Lulu Show, Cream Tribute. Again prepare to be amazed. The guitar speaks the words! Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe, Monterrey Pop Festival......look to the footage. Jimi Hendrix, The Wind Cries Mary, Stockholm......a beautiful slow and moving piece full of emotion, written after a late night bust up with his then girlfriend Kathy Mary Etchingham.

At that stage he wasn't trying!...His Strat was just another appendage to his body..The man slept with his guitar...The world will never see another like him.

I love Jimi Hendrix, he was the best guitarrist of the world

One of a kind

Yes, young sister, he really was that good! I saw him live 3 times, the first time in the front row right in front of him! His shows were otherworldly, and yes, he did make it look effortless. That came from all those years on the "chittlin circuit", playing with The Isley Bros, Little Richard, and James Brown! For Black kids he was our only Rock Star on the same level as The Beatles.

Played a right handed guitar left handed and slayed it...a reason he is legendary

Total 60’s. And I got to witness. I feel blessed....

My very first rock concert, at the LA Forum in 1969! After 2 different bands played, Jimi came on at midnight and played until dawn. Turned me on to mj too!!!

GOOD summary of this...Im just glad young ppl hear him and really appreciate music from other generations !!!!COOL

Jimi looked so calm up there probably because he was stoned out of his mind. Late 60's and early 70's was the golden years for drugs and free love.

Hey Scribe Great reaction! The man heard colors.

Otherworldly talent. Awesome air guitar too! :D

Thanks for mentioning 😀 our Man Steph!!!😁

Summer of 1969, and the Hawaiians got me so loaded on hashish at work, I had to go home early. I was living in Waikiki, and poorer than I've ever been. I was on reduced food rations. And on an empty stomach I was in a hash fog, making a beeline to my apartment on the Ala Wai, across the canal from the Golf Course. Then I heard this music coming from the park, so I cut towards the music. Jesus, Is that Jimi Hendrix? Oh yeah it was, damn, and he was playing in the theater-on-the-round sort of venue, (Google Earth it) and the sound flooded all over the park. I laid down on the grass and watched the stars in the black sky and listened for free. This music was just like the recordings. I didn't realize that he could sound like that in concert. I always thought his sound was created by studio equipment, but no, this was his live sound. The Hendrix sound was new to music. Guitarists had never played like he did, didn't get wild like that and so strong. I loved it to death. And then I got paranoid, remembering the stories they told me at work about Mokes beating up on Howlies in the night, so after one set, I walked home and crashed out. Safer than passing out in the park, I guess. I wish I had stayed for the whole show, but I was too young to handle the paranoia at that particular time.

I remember being at a party in high school when a band played a cover of this song. My older brother was the lead singer. I didn’t even know could sing!

tell it, girl, tell it. this is one of his most relaxed shows where he got into that groove, and the rest was great. his confidence IS nonchalant, here. this show was recently issued as a Showtime film. it wasn't widely known 'til a few years ago.lately, "a lot of black folks are getting hip to him" that is a direct quote from one of the twins, who hung w/ Jimi in Harlem .in '73 they had that WB's film.his words only became more true as the years went by, and everyone's music has been embraced by everyone of all backgrounds and neighborhoods. and Jimi is right there in the mix.

Jimi... a genius!

You are speaking much Wisdom, Youngblood!

Im related to Jimi Hendrix through Cherokee Indian mixed blood totally awesome and im 55 years old and the God's gave Jimi to us and he's the greatest Guitar 🎸 God Forever #1

I appreciate soul of your movement when you listen to funky rock music

Great footage! Good choice!

He came on the scene like someone from another planet. I bought 'Purple Haze' when I was a teenager. RIP the best guitarist ever ! :(

Jimi's manager (bassist with English rock band The Animals, Chas Chandler) would later recount how he would wear the guitar all the time and not suffer from downtime - it was an obsession, and it shows.

I'm 66 Welcome to our world I used to get in trouble from my mom for listening to this rock and roll Jimmy was great

He got that good jumping out of airplanes in the U.S army. A patriotic Rock in Roller.

Jim is the king of swag

All "Rock" is a deep, deep rabbit hole to dive down. Been around for about 70 years now....1950s-present.

Jimi was born and raised in Seattle, but people thought he was from another planet, with his "out of this world" guitar talent. Simply put, the greatest guitar player ever. Jimi was Mr. Cool, and relaxed. He is simply spectacular. When he hit the scene in 1967, he blew everyone's mind, including all of the top Bands in the world. Died at age 27. A superstar is here for but a moment, and is gone.

your so right. he became his instument!

What makes him the greatest?..Wasn't his mad skills, (which there were many.)..Wasn't his speed..Wasn't technical...Was his freedom..His fearlessness to explore his soul like no one did, or hasn't since..That was Jimi' magic!.. You can talk all you want about anyone else, but they won't match his originality, and free spirit...His guitar was his ladylove...He made love to that thing, pure and simple...I grew up with it..This is my era...Don't argue with me!...Lol!

I googled his fashion and it is incredible. It couldn't have just been a foxy lady who helped him. He had to have a fashion sense of his own. Most guys would be out if their depth, lost in space. I love everything he wore and how he put it all together. The video (white background) where he plays acoustic guitar blues...(amazing video!!!!! Please react to it) his outfit is so swag!!!!

Awesome reaction!! The sad thing is Jimi, born in Seattle, wasn't appreciated here in the states at first and had to go to England to gain his popularity!

Jimi at Woodstock is so awesome. He was the headlining act at the 3 day concert and the crowd is leaving, trying to get out and he was jamming! And great observation on your part cause he does play so effortlessly. One of the best guitarist ever!

Chas Chandler of the Animals brought him over to England and noted, as he stayed at his place, that Hendrix never put the guitar down (he even practiced in the bathroom - he liked the echo from the tiles). We still have much to learn...

Jimi Hendrix red house live, the longest one you can find will blow you away.

The best guitar player of all time!! We dressed crazy back then. You don’t wanna see my elementary school pictures lol 😂

People said Jimi never put down the guitar, he was always playing it. There is an interview on KZread with Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones. He and Jimi were roommates back in the day before they were famous. Ron said not only did he play the guitar left handed, but he could play it equally as well right handed. Jimi's influence can still be felt over 50 years later.

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD, WHEN IT COMES TO THE INTERNET!!

Jimi’s live performances are always the way to go 👍

Natural born talent

Your are so right how playing guitar seems effortless. The guitar was just an extension of his hand. Check out "Like a Rolling Stone' from Monterey Pop Festival!

I believe Jimi started playing guitar at 6 yrs old , By 20 he was playing for the Isely Brothers . Both his parents were musically talented, his brother also plays guitar .

Star Spangled Banner live Woodstock 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing that he's playing a right-handed guitar upside down and left-handed too!!

I love it.

Hey! ScribeCash, Did you notice that he learned to play his "Guitar upside down". Because he was left handed

Let's not forget that this dude is playing a right-handed guitar upside down!!

Yes so true what you said about people have too many distractions now, excellent analysis. Jimi would practice anytime anywhere.

I play the guitar, sing & write songs & in 2008 I was going through a rough time with no $ living without the internet or a cell phone- nothing.. I spent all weekend and every night playing guitar and writing songs, wrote the best songs of my life in that house. Came out of my slump, got internet, a new phone- stopped playing guitar all the time

Purple haze my favorite love ya

Purple micro dot was the first acid I did. I was 11 years old in 1975. I always wished I'd been born 15 years earlier. Even so that first trip I understood what this song was all about.

love

Lovely reaction Scribe I felt the same way upon watching Jimi, send out the soundwaves, Machine gun is the one to react too, I'll get your album for that.

Jimi. One word.

Scribe! Try Jimmy's National Anthem live at Woodstock!

exactly, great point

Audio only, but a good live one on KZread is I Don't Live Today (at the LA Forum 1969). Great tune dedicated to the American Indian (Jimi's grandmother was Cherokee).

The music wasn't so great because they didn't have the Internet. It's because they were musicians and had talent. Something rather rare, nowadays....

ScribeCash understand me,,, Jimi Hendrix was 15 years old and played guitar 🎸 at a professional level true story 😂

When he alive he was the highest paid musician on earth 🌎 true reality 😅

"And he was high?" 😂

I seen a few times this movie on showtime! Won't give none away except watch it

He didn’t even pick up the guitar until he was 14 years old and he taught his self how to play without being able to read music so the kid was definitely naturally talented when it comes to playing a guitar but he also put the time into working at being the best. They say he would fall asleep and wake up in the morning with a guitar around his neck practicing.

The guitar is an extension of his body. Please watch the video of the entire concert. It gives a view of our country as well as Jimi. Pure emotion on the guitar.

voodoo child studio version if you can get past copyright

Yeah excellent reaction, Jimi Hendrix is in my opinion the greatest. He does look like he’s doing it Effortlessly! Because he is he has a very unique way of playing and almost no one else plays like that. Unless you set out to emulate it. There’s an awesome instrumental from Woodstock. Might be on KZread is very hard to find I downloaded it it’s called jam back at the house. I have the audio only but to watch it Jimmy plays almost all of it with his ice closed except for when he switching foot pedals. It’s amazing if you can’t find that I was suggest from the same show killing floor old blues song

in one live show he set his guitar on fire he could really put on a show.

Dont blame no internet for Hendrix been a genius

JIMI was RAW!!!!! He was HIPPIED OUT with that outfit. Left handed guitarist he was an ALIEN. Hendrix and Page my 2 favorites of all time. Do LOVE Angus though. Do The Star Bangled Banner by Jimi at Woodstock

Yeah he played guitar, but also, he played electricity! As I mentioned before, it is such a shame that his studio stuff is not allowed on youtube because he has a full spectrum of incredible music from the prettiest to the most severe... Oh well, maybe some day. You, by the way, are one of the best reactors, you really notice and appreciate the details, rock on!

Yep, Jimi made it look easy, from the swagger of his clothes to the second nature of his playing. And to think he passed away less than three months after he played that show...

He is Playing a right hand guitar Upside Down!
