Respect to you sir, thank you for keeping guitarist and bassist in line and laying down the grooviest grooves possible! haha

It feels like it belongs with the third side of Electric Ladyland. I call it the "Rainy Day Suite". Love Or Confusion is one of my all-time underated Hendrix favs. It should be a prerequisite for humans over the age of 16 to be familiar with it!

@@patriotpizzaman If i'm correct, Jimi wrote "Rainy Day" at the Miami Pop Festival, when it rained. 3 Glorious Days of Music. I was there for all three days.

Oh the envy I have for you

Man ur lucky

Facts

Damn. He played a Marshall, and his middle name was Marshall. What a coincidence.

I'm surprised I've never made that connection lol

Literally !!

Yep and James his first name...

So true. It’s like the human voice in a way, it can be impersonated but that has limitations.

Sounds pretentious as fuck

@@chrisr7419 which part?

Might sound wierd but it's 100% legit. You can copy the notes but without Hendrick's lifetime of ingrained muscle memory, Hendrick's hands or Hendrick's heart it won't sound exactly like Hendricks. It'll sound like you playing Hendricks. There's a lot of bends and other techniques that are just very unique to eacb individual player. At the highest levels it's often character and inflections that identifies an artist more than level of technique.

It is one of those things that even AI can't nail. The subtleties, the imperfections, the human touch. His guitar had a voice, Jimi was like the messenger who let the instrument speak. You kinda get to ask if the guitar played Jimi or the other way around

This song takes me to a whole other place

That song does not get nearly enough respect. Way ahead of its time

agreed 100%

Yeah man it’s criminally underrated. Same with pali gap

My absolute favorite song by Jimi

lol yeah took me a while to realize that is what was going on... its quite pathetic how protected his license is

Maybe the title was meant the be a slight at the Hendrix estate. At least that's how I heard Tyler's "I can't play Hendrix, but I can play Hendrix" comments.

@@werdecurb Exactly. Ironically the software he was using is officially licensed by the estate.

Hendrix state are killing his legacy. Is so sad that money and greed does to art. I'll be waiting to the moment the ownership expires ill do a full cover of every hendrix song as a thank you note to jimmy

How though?

@@Bstonz85 by that comment being a joke

It seems a joke, but the extra cable capacitance rolls off high frequencies and that was a major part of his sound!

I'm afraid he would end up sounding like a polished turd going up and down endlessly on the fretboard, if he had started playing in the 80's or after

@@Heatfarmer nein

@@Heatfarmer So true. Theres that rawness and freedom in jimis playing that makes all that crap sound so disingenuous and lifeless

Woodstock should’ve been nuked. It wasn’t and now all those hippies are in congress demonizing police, spreading Anti-White hatred, sexualizing children, gender propaganda, sympathizing for illegal aliens and convincing Americans to be soft feminized drones. Damn I wish that concert was bombed.

I’m pretty sure the joke is that he cannot legally play those songs for these videos. That’s why everything he did was remarkably close. I’m sure he can play all the songs with ease

Except Jimmy never played lukewarm…

And his name is either James Marshall Hendrix or Jimi... not Jimmy. If ya can't spell his name ya likely can't play his licks...neither can I...but then devil is in the details of ✌

Even a lot of Hendrix fans have never heard it !

@@SuperCrazylegs26 yea and it’s quite sad. Beautiful instrumental, horrible movie lmaoooo

Definitely my fav instrumental. It’s just so calm and exciting at the same time

I'm a hardcore Hendrix nut. Pali Gap might be in my top 5 songs of all time. It's filled with such emotion that it has brought me to tears, so many times

Got the rainbow bridge soundtrack on vinyl. Good stuff on that record.

Kramer is a god, but just listening to the little wing isolated tracks jimis tone is still astounding before production

I do love his later live sound though, Marshall cranked, fuzz cranked, booster too. He had so much gain, he was well into 1980 heavy metal territory, not quite Randy Rhoads "amps about to detonate" distortion but way more than any pre 1980 Metal album by anyone, Priest, Maiden. Wxcwpt Sabbath maybe, but even then on the most of the early albums for high gain, Tony actually doesn't use that much, Geezer also had a lot of overdrive thaz contributes to the overall sound but some of Hendrix later live tones where just fantastic. I don't known if he had any of his amps modified but you'd at least need a Plexi on full, a fuzz on max and a booster to get gain like that and it didn't get fizzy either, he still had a beautiful clear glassy tone, not some undefined fizzing like some 1960s high gain guitar tones. He had the output on max but the distortion probably pretty low on the fuzz and the man knew how to set an EQ to deal with that much gain long before everyone else. Sure people used fuzzes and screamers but most didn't have that nice a tone, unless you like that but often rich in high end fizz, which I just don't like at all. And really boxy too, Hendrix had that compression going that made everything sound super roubd and smooth.

Not a saxophone? At times I have thought I heard the influence from jamming with his father Al. He even called it "the public saxophone"

Yeah exactly.

Bad proof reading. SHREDDING what's shedding LUL

Do you mean the things he never intended for lease? There's a reason it's called an "outtake". .My you are quite the contrarian.

"... particularly those from just before he passed away," I'll see your contrarianism and raise you an absurdist. I prefer his playing after he passed away. So much depth yet so minimalist so bare bones if you will.

@@frankfrank7921 looooooooool

Valleys of Neptune is one of his best songs but it was released after he died. Freedom is also really good, was one of the first songs I heard by him

Slow blues 🔥🔥

Cream can never get enough credit. Somehow even Clapton gets overlooked!! His work on Bluesbreakers stands as the standard of electric blues guitar.

Jimi wanted to meet Clapton when he first moved to London, he was Jimis hero

I heard it too and came looking for this comment.

5:22 Castles made of snow? It's like the sterilised lovechild of Jimi and John's playing.

@@MichaelJones-kq3md agreed with that💯

❤

Shhh you

that’s a pretty deep cut too hard to find online

Jerry is a way too underrated and often forgotten picking and songwriting genius.

UPDATE: They fixed it. I can't believe it 😉

He doesn't want the video to get taken down, so he "can't play" the music.

@@nickwarden5134 I’m well aware of the Hendrix estate’s hair trigger to demonetize or take down videos with even a smidge of his content. That’s not the point of his video.

@Andrew Korvin Atlanta? Really? I have never really liked the Atlanta performance. It's not bad but it is just so mediocre. His guitar tone really sucked there and most of the performance he was just going through the motions. To be honest I can't fathom that the Royal Albert Hall version of Stone free is not talked about more. It's always Machine gun (which I get) but this version of SF is just brilliant. In fact it's my favourite live recording ever.

My favorite jimi performance is his San Diego Red House. Its probably his best live performance of any song besides machine gun.

@@JONTHEWHEREHOG Yes it is incredible although the solo is not his best. The quieter parts elevate it. To me Red house from Randall's island New York pop is every bit as good and the solo is breathtaking. But San Diego's Red house has some of his best playing as well, especially the intro and the wah part. His clean sound there is stunning.

Good choice!

Here's a little trivia -- Stone Free is the first song Hendrix ever wrote. I'm a huge Hendrix fan but I will concede that a lot of his live performances are terrible. He is way out of tune on a lot of them. Two reasons they were so bad were, Number One and most important he was often under the influence of substances when he played and if you get "fussed" up enough, nobody can play well or even play at all. In fact the night before he died at Ronnie Scott's club in London he was so incapacitated he couldn't play. It was sad, and people saw...Look up what Ronnie Wood had to say about seeing Hendrix that night. The other reason is that people expected him to do all of the tricks with the guitar instead of just playing it. He didn't like this expectation and said that it made him feel like they wanted to see "a circus clown." But when he was (relatively) sober and just stood there and played -- well, that's how we got we got his masterpiece Machine Gun from the Band of Gypsies album. Watch that footage -- he's not rolling around on the floor or playing with his teeth -- he's Jimi Hendrix the Guitar Player, not Jimi Hendrix the Circus Clown. Incidentally, Hendrix was INCREDIBLY reckless with his use of drugs and alcohol. On the night he died he took 18 times the prescribed dose of the barbiturate Vesparax which his girlfriend (for the night) had. He then washed them down with an entire bottle of red wine. That kind of thing was not unusual for him, but this time the chemistry and biology combined in a lethal way, and it killed him. Hey, I love Jimi as much as the next guy and probably more than most, but that kind of thing was going to happen to him sooner or later, and more likely sooner. Knowing what I know now, I don't think he would have seen 30. Absolutely terrible loss to the world.

Master Volumes or Attenuators

nice! imagine listening to one of his hundrets of liveconcerts. They said PA systems werent that great, but i bet sometime... imagine that. He played best when he wasnt oficially recorded.. IMHO

@@erewrw1906 have you listened to band if gypsies?

@@WilhelmWilder yes, not my individual favorite tastes,

@@erewrw1906 well its a hendrix live album...

@@WilhelmWilder yeah, and i already said that his officially recorded livegigs dont reach highscores for MY personal taste. Im fully aware of probably 100. 00 percent of content thats floating around net. ive spent 20 years hunting unsurfaced, or non-sold records. so that i have not missed anything.. im hunting trough even the worst sounding records, up and down the net

I was thinking the Silver Sky was looking pretty good but I've never actually tried one. Are you thinking the strat is better?

Not when you have a nice arrangement with PRS!

agree with you. drifting is a super underrated track. up there with little wing and castles imo

Very valid thoughts.
