imagine if he had lived a long life. 4 albums was all we got.

To many musicians and composers, Hendrix is to the guitar what Bach is to western music. And that says a lot... 🎸🔥🎶

The first three albums by Hendrix were ground breaking! Wonderful stuff!

Jimi Hendrix was the greatest electric guitarist in my opinion. I love his music. He was always growing as an artist, experimenting with new sounds and all types of music. He was also visually stunning in his look snd style of playing. A true original that has influenced so many other artists. A candle that burns twice as bright burns twice as fast. RIP.

it's like books you read and find other people have the same thoughts as yourself but then you read books that tell you things you'd never thought or even conceived ,thats mind expanding.Hendrix appeared to be using the elements in an alchemy only he understood how to use. Mitch Mitchel was just the man to fly solo as they swoop and whirl arround each other, some times miles above at other times diving close to the ground identifying their prey. Bloody marvellous

And people try to compare him to other guitarists. He was simply other worldly. Another top review 👌

I always found the fact that Hendrix was left handed, yet played a right handed guitar.

@pyrielrising4338 4 ай бұрын

The basis for Hendrix theatrical performance was the competition between himself and Pete Townsend. The Who immediately followed Jimi at Monterey and the sacrifice was Jimi's way of saying to Pete..."top that!". An epic moment in the history of Rock music and one Townsend would never forget.

I first heard Jimi on pirate radio - Hey Joe was the first single I believe. It was like a bolt of lightning and I loved his music instantly and still do. A friend phoned with the news of his passing and I was simply stunned - oh what could have been! Thanks for a great and thoughtful vid as usual.

I’ve loved Hendrix from the first time I heard it back in about ‘87. Now I have a teenage son and he got it straight away too.

The late sixtes was an explosion of sounds, driven by a myriade of artists, Jimmy was one of them, perhaps the best to open our minds to the possibility of more to come, he showed the way to heavy, prog, etc. He was a earthquake, just like punk later on. It's nice to hear you describe him and his music, the era, cause I was born in 1956 and I'm still a fan of that era and Jimmy, many thanks !

*Fun fact:* James Joyces' *Ulysses* was the inspiration for the Jefferson Airplane song *"Rejoyce."*

psychedeilicsanctualy Each chapter of Ulysses was written in a different style and is an independent story, the albums James Marshall Hendrix made when he was alive changed music, my own favourite song was 1983 Moon turns the tides from Electric lady land also 'Machine gun' from Band of Gypsies

Great look back at arguably rock music's most important debut. Jimi's music will never grow old. I can listen to May This Be Love and feel his soul and spirit. I think he's still with us. Thanks Barry.

Nine years from Chuck Berrys Johnny B Goode in 1958 to Are You Experienced in 1967.They were intergalactic light years with Hendrixs mind blowing technique and vision

@nicodio2709 4 ай бұрын

Gone 53 years, still untouchable. So clearly the greatest electric guitar improviser. To really appreciate his genius, you need to listen to the many available live recordings. It is where you are mesmerized by the sheer power, speed, tone, noise, rhythms etc. coming from his Strat! Beyond the number one ranking, way beyond.

@raaka2027 4 ай бұрын

Still the greatest guitarist. I think what he brought, other than his fantastic playing, was an awareness of the actual mechanics of the instrument. I love those live recordings where you can hear the guts of it all.

There were thoughts of Jimi and Miles Davis getting together to work on an album … now that could’ve been some project if it’d had the chance to get off the ground.

Same here. He was on top of his game on that album. All the songs are so good on Axis. At the end of the day, THAT album represents Jimi the best imo.

Great review ... Peppers, The Doors debut and Hendrix debut all in 1967 ... simply amazing ... you could do a segment simply on 1967 album releases ... 🤔 "A Psycho-Sexual Psychedelic Frenzy" on steroids I'd argue 😉

A cosmic classic. I prefer the US cover. I believe Andrew Loog Oldham had the opportunity to sign him prior to Chas Chandler having seen him in NY with Linda Keith, but he wasn’t too keen so she recommended Hendrix to Chas instead. I wonder if Hendrix had synesthesia, ie he could hear colours? Mustn’t forget Noel and Mitch who played an integral part in the Experience. Wish I was old enough to have seen him, my Bruv did at the IOW Fest. I’d like to have watch that tour they did with Floyd, The Move and I think Amen Corner. I’d highly recommend the Handel / Hendrix museum in London - well worth a trip. 🤓👍🎸

@Saffy-yr8vo 4 ай бұрын

You mean Clapton couldn’t believe Jimi was much better than him 😂Didn’t Hendrix say Rory Gallagher was better than all of them? I found out I ‘have’ synesthesia, Some think Jimi had this wonderful affliction too. The mixing of senses in the brain in my case guitar sounds, invoke colour. His chords for Purple Haze shared this sensation.Enjoyed this episode so much as you invoke your own painterly verbal portrait of this genius and his multi dimensional talent so vividly, I will return to savour it again.

Best guitar playing of all time Star Spangled from Woodstock, and Machine Gun from Band Of Gypsies, unmatched to this day, I've always wondered though how good it would have been with Jack Bruce on bass and vocal, his first album is one of the best and its nearly 60 years old, rather insane.

@Saffy-yr8vo 4 ай бұрын

Am I correct in believing his Star Spangled Banner was not only meant to be ironic but also putting up the fingers to the US establishment and the war mongers? I’m not American tho 😂

hendrix only released 3 records in his lifetime. are you experienced-axis bold as love-electric ladyland. all great but i think the first album was the best. it was the blueprint for the rest and nothing he did afterwards really improved upon are you experienced.
