Poor girl, not familiar with the greatest classic rock guitarist of all time. Shock, he chews gum. Jimi always did on stage. No comment on the famous repeating tongue flick although every hippie chic knew what he was doing. His teeth dear, not his face. At least she called him “masterful”. Saw “The Experience” in Chicago at the Chicago Opera House in ‘67.

The performance you are responding to was done in 1967. That was a very long time ago. Everybody who saw him including famous guitar players had the same reaction that you are having. They had never seen anything like him before and he was also a very great guitar player. He is probably the single biggest electric guitar influence ever in rock music. He was the original prototype Rockstar. He died very young at age 27 but after only two-and-a-half years of having his band he was the number one top billing rock act for all of the concerts including the famous 1969 Woodstock concert. From the same performance you should watch him play Wild Thing. Not only does he play with his teeth as he did in this song, and behind his head but also behind his back underneath his legs and he does a somersault while playing the guitar and then burns the guitar as a sacrifice. He was one-of-a-kind. All the big stars of the time back then were in awe of him although he was a very shy and friendly person off stage with a good sense of humor, when he got on stage things exploded. You should watch the whole Monterey Pop Festival performance by Jimi Hendrix. And you should watch him play the national anthem at Woodstock which is readily available on KZfaq.

Jimi has a number of songs to melt your mind. Foxy Lady, Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child to start. Each live performance of these songs will take you to another place, more so than the studio version, as he'll go off in so many different directions. As you can see Jimi is left handed, back when he decided to learn guitar left handed ones weren't that available and were expensive. He got one and restrung it upside down and, as they say, the rest is history.

Nobody, at least not your typical rock and pop audiences had never seen anything like Jimi before. His bag of "tricks", like playing behind his back or with his teeth were picked up on the southern "Chitlin' Circuit", a training ground for young musicians and a steady source of work for the best of the best. After years playing as a sideman with rock and R&B greats like Little Richard, Curtis Knight, the Isley Brothers and many more, Jimi was discovered in New York's Greenwich Village and taken to England to assemble a band and record. This performance is from his return performance and reintroduction to the US at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. His impact on the crowds was as profound and unexpected, as revolutionary seeming as it had been in London. His virtuosity, flamboyance and just swagger, his innate style combined with mind-blowing musicality propelled him quickly into the top-tier of rock royalty, the premiere act and earner of his day. Dive in. Check his cover of Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower', 'The Star-Spangled Banner/Purple Haze/Villanova Junction' from the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair, 'Johnny B. Goode' from Berkeley, or more of his own compositions. 😘🤙🎸🎶❤✨️🕊

This immortal performance was at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Even though Jimi was American, he had to go to England to get noticed. This was his homecoming. His first performance in America as The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones flew to America specifically to introduce Jimi Hendrix to the audience. Jimi was honored and humbled that Brian Jones would do that. I'm glad this was your introduction to this amazing artist who changed the face of the electric guitar and what it was capable of. Yes. He was the master of his guitar. He was also the master of casual cool. On stage, nothing phased him. He would play some amazing passages in an offhand way which really intimidated the guitar gods of the day. You can see interviews with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend, and others talking about the first time they saw him play when he first arrived in England. Some of them half-jokingly said, "I felt like I needed to go home and practice some more". Another nice thing about Hendrix was that he was very humble, He praised other guitarists and would get shy when people would refer to his guitar prowess. BTW, you are very charming.

Also playing a right-handed guitar left-handed. Obviously makes everything upside down. Jimi was really great. Try listening to "Fire" and "Purple Haze", two of his biggest songs when he first came on the scene. Far as I know, he wrote them both. Hearing those two songs was how I came to know of Hendrix. I'd say one of his best was a cover of a Bob Dylan song called "All Along the Watchtower". "Hey Joe" is a cover of a kind of strange song about a guy on the run after shooting his wife or ex-wife, but it's the guitar solo parts that Hendrix is most remembered for. I think he played the guitar with his mouth in more than one live appearance. He also played behind his head. I prefer listening to his stuff as recorded, because that's how I first heard them on the radio in the late 60's, and came to enjoy listening to Hendrix. I'm sure I'm in the minority, because the "off the wall" stuff he did was live. Thanks for choosing to react to Jimi Hendrix!

Jimi is my musical hero and has been from a very young age. My father had (still has) the very famous double album "Electric lady land" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Ladyland). Whenever he played it little me was mesmerized by Jimi's guitar play. He could do things with a guitar nobody at the time (late 60s) could and it is such a waste of talent him dying at 27 years of age in 1970. What you see in the video is that is indeed chewing gum, which he often did, and playing the guitar with his teeth. Jimi was also a master at using musical feedback (a screeching or humming sound resulting from the return of a fraction of the output signal from an amplifier, microphone, or other device to the input of the same device.). His performance of the national anthem of the US at Woodstock in 1969 is legendary ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdCqjctnks6dloE.html). Other songs by Hendrix i could recommend: Purple Haze, Foxey Lady, Voodoo Chile (both the long version and the "slight return" version, Gypsy eyes, Bold as love ... well, I should really suggest to listen to his entire oeuvre. I am glad you liked it and wish lots of listening joy to Jimi's work. Your reaction and surprise are a joy to watch. ~ Vals

The future was electricity (guitars) - technology - (soon to land on the moon 1969) - music in stereo - television in color - a car in every home - air conditioning. Barely a hint of anything called the internet. A more hidden aspect of Jimi's brilliance was his impeccable rhythmic 6th sense. His rhythmic phrasing is so smooth, he can jump in and out of time like it's standing still.

Jimi Hendrix started the "guitar hero" persona, he was born to play the guitar, not just like everybody else, but how HE wanted to play the guitar. Jimi essentially liberated the guitar from the simplistic 60's stereotype of 'beat' music, which was essentially just chord playing followed by a jangly 15 second solo. So Jimi played his guitar LOUD, with distortion, wah-wah and other effects that were in their infancy at that time. He would also play it behind his head, with his teeth, rubbing the strings across his mic stand, or his bank of Marshall speaker cabinets. Jimi was an innovator, he created as it were, a psychedelic/blues style of music that was his own. He was a one off, we will never see his like again.

I used to work with Billy Cox, Jimi's best friend & bass player for Hendrix's Band of Gypsys & re-formed Experience. Can hear little known story of Hendrix's five years of training in Nashville before he hit NY, then went on to England where he became famous if look up Musicians Hall of Fame interview, Billy Cox, Little Known Facts about Hendrix. Can also look up Jimi Hendrix 1965 Night Train. Was his very first tv appearance as a back-up player on a Nashville tv show that became inspiration for later tv mega-hit show, Soul Train. See ya! 🤘🌎❤

original guitar hero..lol, well you proberly dont come across a bigger rock guitar legend then Jimi, you can tell, he lived for that guitar, was very experimental, and i think one guy every rock guitarist look at, and learn from still today, also first mover.. truly a legend..

Wild Thing from the same Monterey Pop 1967 show is a must. He does summersaults, plays behind his back and burns his guitar. After that he was a legend. Also his version of Johnny B.Goode from Berkeley 1970 is amazing display of guitar flash virtuosity. Can't go wrong with the GOAT

That performance was from the Monterey Pop Festival in the 1967 "summer of love". If you haven't already, you MUST react to the song "Wild Thing" from the same concert. The ending will blow your mind.

You have to watch All Along the Watchtower , studio version, a cover of Bob Dylans song and easily the best cover of all time. He made it his own. Thanks a lot for your reaction ❤

Do a full album reaction to his Band of Gypsies album. Mind blowing. I mean, it will be like you never imagined someone could play the guitar that way. Makes Hey Joe seem like a walk in the park.

One thing to note in his playing, you see and hear all these embellisments hes playing while playing chords, that was normal in R&B guitar playing. His teeth playing and behind the head/back, playing with the elbow, was standard chitlin circuit showmanship. His soloing was firmly in the blues tradition, with a decent bit of jazz. To white rock/pop audiences that was all revolutionary, because they had never heard the roots of where it all came from.

I saw a video of Jimi while he was in London I think where he got up out of bed in the morning for a drink of water. He came out in his boxers and his guitar was around his neck. Dude slept with his guitar.

Jimi Hendricks has been regarded as the greatest guitarist. FYI. He passed away at 27 years old. Just imagine the breath of music he would have produced had he lived a full life.

Jimi showed up and ALL the current guitar gods (Clapton, Page, etc.) were shocked and amazed by his playing. Eric Clapton even famously stated that after he saw Hendrix play live he considered quitting because he couldn't imagine competing against Jimi.

Jimi was brought over to England in 1966 by Chas Chandler (Bassist with the Animals) - teamed Jimi up with Mitch Mitchell (Drums) and Noel Redding (Base) - the rest is history. And yes, dear, he is playing with his teeth.

More suggestions: "Little Wing" studio version (beautiful ballad), "The Wind Cries Mary" studio version (another ballad), "All Along the Watchtower" studio version. Also after hearing "Little Wing" studio version, there is a great live concert version of "Little Wing" at the Royal Albert Hall, London, February 1969. All video's are uploaded by "Jimi Hendrix". Some suggestions to start with. Jimi Hendrix was only 24 to 26 years old when he recorded these. He was very talented with an enormous musical gift.

You picked a super legendary artist to react to: Kudos, for his next tune you have to do his rendition of Bob Dylan's " All along The Watch Tower". BTW Jimi practiced for many many years, his like was electric guitar.

Inna, he absolutely IS singing and chewing gum at the same time. He did that pretty often. How he did that, sang and played the guitar with his teeth is amazing. A guy so in command of his instrument thahe could be playful with it. I'm 69 years old and lived through Jimi's era. He was considered a god, practically.
