No one will ever come close to Jimi, he was the coolest guy ever.

I heard that S.R.V.s wife once said that sometimes he would wake up in the middle of the night and get out of bed and go and play his guitar because he had dreamt that Jimi Hendrix had taught him something new.

AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT HE DID ALL OF THESE AMAZING THINGS AND STILL CHEWED GUM THE WHOLE TIME!!!

I was lucky enough to see the Jimi Hendrix Experience twice in 1968, and I would have to agree that, yes, he was the best. Not only was he a virtuoso on the electric guitar, but he also created a style of playing that was brand new and thrilling to watch. And don't forget he wrote most of the songs he played; songs that had beautiful lyrics and melodies. I consider him a creative genius, and I still think back to those 2 concerts, over a half century ago .....

Jimi absolutely changed the way the electric guitar was played. It's hard to keep perspective via today's standards of what a great guitar player is, as the evolution of the instrument continues to reach higher levels. You only need to grab a few quotes from his peers of the day to see the impact he had at the time. He also had an everlasting impact on how recordings were made- "painting" soundscapes with guitar. Listen to some of his original studio material to get a feel for what a true master composer he was. To me, he and Duane Allman were to two greatest losses in terms of potential in the history of Rock.

Jimi could play with his teeth, behind his back, over his head, and between his legs. These stunts he learned in his youth by attending gigs and witnessing other guitar artists around Seattle.

People who have seen this a thousand times still get shivers hearing the tone, seeing the presence, knowing this guy bows to nobody in the pantheon of guitar greats. It's not just the ability, it's the construction of the movements and little yelps and sneers from his melodies, and it IS the melodiousness of it. Even when he drives hard solos it's always sweet to the ear. He's not showing off, he's sensing the sound. But of course, it's also the completeness of it all. Bass and Drums do their part perfectly.

All along the watchtower. The studio version is a great one from Jimi Hendrix!

It is amazing how a three piece band gets such a full sound. So yes, Jimi is doing all of the guitar parts as well as singing.

And then there's Jimi. He was a force of nature when he showed up. The top rock guitarists of the time, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton etc. were totally blown away, and said so publicly. Stories of him playing a club in London, with the entire audience being made up of musicians. Cream. The Stones. The Who. Truly the who's who of the bands of the time all flocked to see this guy. Monterey was his coming out party. Insisting on being the final band, he closed the show with his legendary burning of his guitar. He was also the closing act at Woodstock. The concert ran late so Jimi played on Monday morning. Imagine waking up in a mud-soaked field to Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix for breakfast, and The Star-Spangled Banner played like it had never been done before. There are several films of his concerts out there but hard to find. It was fascinating to see how he changed up the way he played certain of his iconic songs such as Machinegun (sound effects) Red House ( heavy Blues) and Voodoo Chile ( It is Chile, not Child ). Purple Haze about LSD. He was so versatile. Check out SRV's version of Little Wing. Stevie was massively influenced by Hendrix.

He was a master. Check out his rendition of the star spangled banner. Epic. He has many great songs. Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, The wind Cries Mary. Voodoo Child has a fantastic solo from the live version.

The Wind cries Mary is my favorite of Hendrix's song, it is a little softer than the other. All are good but I lik that one the best.

Jimi was a master at combining lead and rhythm. He was a (if not the) main innovator of many different chords, solos, licks, riffs, and combining them all. His style and talent combined with his guitar effects and the new wave of psychedelic rock had never been seen or heard before. When Jimi hit the scene people were hearing noises they had never heard from a guitar.

Jimi started his career playing with people like Little Richard, The Isley Brothers and others. He was playing what was called the Chitlin Circuit down south and the playing with teeth, behind your back was part of the showmanship in those performances. However, as you noted Jimi's facility with the guitar and brilliant rhythm and solo licks made him one of the best to ever do it. Add to that Jimi's personal style, smoothness, songwriting gifts and mastery of blues and rock and you've seen someone who absolutely changed guitar and music forever. Jimi was absolutely the epitome of a legend!

Jimi will always be the man. Hands down.

Jimi opened up an entire new world for all those who came after him . His unique talent and songwriting skills started a whole movement in Rock n Roll. He is playing with a 3 piece band, bass, and drums and everything else is him.

Jimi was making love with his guitar everytime he went on stage...

I always felt that Jimi's guitar was just an extension of his body and soul.

I was privileged to see Jimi live in 1970. His warm up band was Strawberry Alarm Clock. After their set, the stagehands swapped out the drum set and actually nailed it all to the stage. The amps literally formed a wall at the rear of the stage. The Experience (Jimi's band) consisted of himself, his bass player, and his drummer. About halfway through his concert, they had to come out and reset all the nails in the drum set. Yeah, it was that energetic and loud. I think Jimi was pretty much deaf by this point in his career. An unforgettable experience though, no pun intended.

Hendrix was great at improvising on the guitar. He was a pioneer in his day. As far as I know, T-Bone Walker - the first man to play the electric guitar with his teeth. 9 of of 10 dentists do not recommend playing guitar with your teeth, lol. Other songs of his I recommend - All Along the Watchtower, Purple Haze, Foxy Lady

The Jimi Hendrix studio version of All Along the Watchtower blows my mind every time I hear it. Did you notice that he was playing left handed with a right handed guitar upside down?

It's not just the guitar playing. What we lost with Jimi was great song creation. He's one of the best song creators ever and the songs were created through the guitar.

Yes, you're right! He was playing lead and rhythm at the same time. It was a common practice on the Chitlin Curcuit for the R&B, BLUES and even GOSPEL of the day on stage. You'd b e surprised at the tricks needed to set yourself apart!

Jimi Hendrix. No one comes even close to this !!

Thank you for your reaction to the Jimmy Hendrix Hey Joe. I was at his concert in Copenhagen in 1967, and he and his band literally blow me away, with his way to play the guitar and using distorsion and feedback in his performance. At this period, there was only the group Cream with Eric Clapton playing a powerful blues/rock, progressiv rock, and the beginning of psychedelic rock, when Jimmy Hendrix arrived with his way to play the guitar, and changed the guitar performance forever.

Copenhagen my hometown. Not quite I grew up 30 miles south of Copenhagen, but did live there for awhile as an adult. When I was a teenager my friends and I would take the train or bus to Copenhagen to go to Montmatre, a Jazz club, Dexter Gordon was living in Denmark then and played in that club often. In 1967 I was an au pair in Westport, and that was the year I really got into rock and roll, not I forgot about jazz, but all sudden rock changed in the mid to late sixties, Jimi, The Doors, The Band many others.

The guitar/teeth thing is an old blues showmen thing - Jimi just brought it to the masses 🌞🎶🎸😬😎🙌👍

If you dig into Jimi going to England to play, you find out how much he impacted so many other guitarists. All the greats at the time were freaking out over Jimi!

Hard to believe he’s gone over fifty years. Listen to his All Along The Watchtower. He insisted he wrap up Woodstock, and didn’t disappoint.

I saw Jimi Hendrix in 1967 He was backing up the Monkees ! My mom was a Monkees fan who made me go and Jimi was getting pissed off when he was playing because all the girls were yelling "We Want Davie ,We want Davie non stop lol ! I was 12 now i have all Jimi's albums and over 30 CD's Thanks Y'all

His whole performance at Monterey was literally 🔥. 😉

Voodoo Child; Are You Experienced?; Purple Haze; All Along the Watchtower…….such great songs! King of psychedelic blues rock.

As will be said many times, 😀Jimi Hendrix is your favorite guitar players favorite guitar player!

He was so influential and it's more than just his skill set, he was a fascinating individual. They had been in the army and also he was left-handed but rather than buying a left-handed guitar, and by the way Ringo Starr of The Beatles was also left-handed playing with a mostly right-handed drum set, Jimi Hendrix just took a right handed guitar and turn it upside down and play it left-handed. Everything about that is just so odd and challenging. But he had a lot more than that too, he just was at the time, this new definition of cool, of just being so hip, just being so amazing. That just added to all the emotion when he died way too early.

You should react to his performance of the national anthem at Woodstock. Fabulous.

Part of Jimi's special guitar sound came from tuning down a half step.

There are only 3 musicians in the Jimi Hendrix Experience (guitar, bass, drums). Hendrix has influenced just about every guitarist to this date. And yes, he's also chewing gum. Great reactions

His violent Dad walked in on Jimmy when he was a kid and witnessed him playing an old style broom 🧹. His eyes were closed and his fingers were bleeding from playing a brush. Pure music coming out of him. So glad he eventually got a guitar 🎸 ❤

In his short music career , he's got so many songs. Watch this whole concert. He also has : Live At Maui- Woodstock, live at the filmore . And so much more.

Love that song and Jimi and the band. A few years ago i showed that clip years ago to my Grand daughter when she was 9 and i asked her whats different about him playing his guitar she said " it's a right handed guitar and he's playing on the leftside and the guitar is upside" I nearly died when she got it almost immediately.

In Jimi's hands the guitar is not just a guitar....it's a weapon!

I'm happy I knew jimi since time immemorial. I was born 9 yrs after he died.

You are absolutly right, he is playing rhythm and lead at the same time. Jimi was insane! Lemmy (Motörhead) said about him. When I saw him playing I realized, that I should quit playing guitar and focus on bass. And that is what he did. Lemmy played the bass like a guitar, which made the unique sound of Motörhead.

MUST HEAR Classics,, Jimi Hendrix "Crosstown Traffic" & "The Wind Cries Mary"

He was the first to do any of this. He could play feedback and distortion as well

What an astounding way to make 5 chords sound so awesome. It makes me excited watching you both get excited over this masterpiece. ❤🎶

Jimi was so unique. The tricks are very entertaining but what makes him really stand out was that he was a revolutionary, a musical genius, the best improvisor, never played a song the same way twice (unlike almost every other guitar player), he was an incredible songwriter, he played different genres and styles and every album is a classic. He was a searcher and sometimes it didn't work out but when it did, he stood way above anyone before or after him. Check out his version of Johnny B Goode from Berkeley!

Jimi Hendrix 27 my favourite 4 ever,just 3 years only in industry but amazing ❤🎸🤘🥰💓👌🙏🙏🙏

I've watched a few reactions to this video and one of the things that makes him unique often gets overlooked despite being obvious. He plays left-handed but plays a right-handed guitar strung for a left-handed player. When I first saw a video of Hendrix playing, and it wasn't with his mouth so I wasn't as distracted, the first thing I noticed was how weird the head of his guitar looked. That's when I realized he was a lefty

Jimi was playing a right handed guitar as a left hander. The guitar was restrung but the tuners appear on the bottom of the head stock rather than the top and the tone controls are above the strings where as they should be below the strings. Left handed Fender Strats were almost impossible to find but on the night jimi died Eric Clapton was waiting to meet him in a pub where he was going to gift him a proper left handed Fender Strat . Sadly Jimi never arrived to recieve the gift

Jimi Hendrix & Janis Joplin started their careers together & sadly ended them together,, passing away only 16 days apart..R.I.P. Jimi & Janis 🙏❤️

Jimi walked onto that stage an unknown, but walked off a legend. He completely changed how people played and viewed the electric guitar more than anyone. Besides his showmanship of playing with his teeth, behind his head, behind his back, between his legs, etc… (There’s a great photo of him playing a one-handed solo behind his back while chugging a Coke!) he was a great songwriter both musically and lyrically. He used feedback and distortion in ways that nobody had before. There would be no SRV, EVH, Malmsteen, etc without Jimi Hendrix.

The most creative and innovative musician of the 20th century, regardless of instrument.

Jimi is fantastic!!!

And playing an upside down guitar, He influenced a generation of guitarists! RIP JH🌹

a lot of these things, playing w teeth, behind his head, jimi was the first. GOAT! also, he was left-handed, so took a right-handed guitar and strung it upside down and just ran w it

I loved Hindix so much I bought a 60 year edition of his Guitar, that was quiet a while ago. I have only played it twice . He plays left handed on a right handed Fender Straticastor. When I was young my brother drove me nuts playing Hindrix night and day. Now I listen to him a lot .

One of the legends about Jimi was that at some concerts he put a couple of hits of LSD under his headband and once he started sweating he would get " off" and still played.

At that show he plays behind his back also, and he "set the world on fire". When he played "Wild Thing", his guitar was 'fire'. 🎸

His cover of Bob Dylan's "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER", is clearly a classic. But, if you want to hear an incredible example of Jimi and his drummer Buddy Miles improvisational skills listen to "WHO KNOWS" from their Band of Gypsies.

Hendrix, The Trailblazer........he leads and everyone else follows!!

I listened to these tunes on the album for years before ever seeing the video, but when the DVD came not in early 2000s(?) I was shocked to see him playing with his teeth and behind the back lol. Even if you listen to jimi all the time he still surprises you. I always thought the first solo sounded a little funny but the tone was cool, turns out it's teeth lmao

Voodoo child at woodstock followed by national anthem. And machine gun on band of gyspsy. See why he's really the greatest and most inspirational artist ever. ❤

You nailed it, he plays lead and rhythm at the same time.

LOOK AT HIS GUITAR ....Hes playing it LEFT HANDED strung RIGHT HANDED upside down .......

MonterAAY Pop, 1967. He arrived as a rumor and left as a legend. He was FAMOUS for four years. Before then he played in various bands including Little Richard's. See his "Like a Rolling Stone" from the same performance. For playing behind one's head see T-Bone Walker from 1940s-50s.

Jimi was a musical genius. He has to restring his guitar as he is a left handed maestro & many are right handed. His music has always been significantly his own sound. Thank for this one!

Queen- Now I'm here live is a good example also of lead and rhythm combination at its best

I saw Jimi Hendrix in a concert in Chicago, and as you can see in the video, he was not only known as a great guitarist, but also as a great performer. Aside from playing the guitar behind his head and with his teeth, he also played it between his legs, behind his back, and in other ways. People loved his charisma, and stage presence. Many great guitarists and musicians of his day went to see him in concert, and were amazed at the ground breaking things he did. Jimi was left handed, and if you look closely in the video, he played his guitar upside down to compensate for this. There were only 3 members total in the band, a drummer, bass guitar player, and Jimi Hendrix, so the sound of 2 guitars you heard was made by Jimi. If not the greatest rock guitar player of all time, he was certainly one of them.

Heard this at age 15, never was the same!

I saw this performance when I was 13, it was Incredible! Jimi was the first to record Voodoo Child☀

Yes he is playing both!

In 1969, I saw The Jimi Hendrix Experience perform at the Dorton Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. I was 16 and it was my first rock concert. It was one of the best concerts I ever saw. (I still give the best to Led Zeppelin who gave a 4 encore performance in Dorton Arena the following year.) It was his 1st performance in the States after a European tour. So it was the first time he performed the Star Spangled Banner in the USA since adding it to the act on the European tour. We saw history made in Dorton Arena that night!

I think his music will live on. If anyone is going yo be classed as a classical musician in years to come it will be him.
