This is from 1968. He was light years ahead of the guitarists that are around now. Jimi will never be matched. RIP.

Jimi was so ahead of his time. Nobody was doing what he did in the studio. Pure art.

greatest guitarist of all time.

Now you know how we felt 50 years ago when we first heard him. Wait until you hear him play the Star Spangled Banner at the Woodstock festival in 1969. You'll never be the same afterward.

This record was the reason I first picked up a guitar in 1970, and I'm still gigging. How cool to see young people loving the unique genius that Jimi was :-) Have a listen to Machine Gun from the original Band of Gypsies to hear what he was capable of live :-)

Jimi was ' a different breed ' alright...in other words a fricken genius of epic proportions. I'm not surprised that you would be speechless upon hearing this gem. All the best.

How can someone sing and play and be creative like that! Thank you Jimi! Trying to accept that you just was here for a while!

Check out Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Live At Woodstock.

The Voodoo Child himself !✌

Hendrix hated most of his studio stuff because it had to be cut down to a 3 or 4 minute playable radio song. Anything live!!! A good place to start is "Hey Joe" live at Monterey Pop😀😀😀

Without a doubt the greatest studio rock guitar performance of all time. Loved him since 1967 and miss him every damn day.

Been a fan of Jimi since 1969. Unfortunately no one has come even close to the Legendary Jimi Hendrix. I don't say that lightly or with bias, but hoards of people would disagree and think I am bias. The thing is, many have tried. Technically, they will be faster, more dextrose etc. But what most people are missing, is that Jimi was much more than a Guitarist. His whole being and life in every moment was dedicated to his art, so he was a composer, writer, poet, and explosive showman/entertainer. He rode the Highest Wave right up till it crashed. He didn't get off the wave before it crashed, he rode it the whole way. The thing is, he inspired everyone you know of and don't know of. Eric Clapton was in awe of him. He was asked what it's like to be the greatest guitar player. He said don't ask me, ask Prince. Now Prince in many Top musicians minds was 100% dedicated to his Music, like Jimi, but many don't know that he was one of his biggest fans and tried to emulate Jimi. When asked who he thought is the greatest, he said, " Jimi is still the man! " Why, because Jimi was and still is on another level. I know all the other guitarists, all of them, that are very good, but not like Jimi, and they would agree. Jimi was a gift. Something other worldly🌸🙏

Your Jimi Hendrix experience would be sadly incomplete without you seeing him play THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER at Woodstock. You will be in awe as he is the only man in this world who could bring the sounds of The Vietnam War to life. It ended up defining the whole era. So sad he didn't live to see it.

Congratulations on hearing the greatest guitar jam of all time

1981 i was 18, first time i became aware of Hendrix's music, i had heard of him. It was love at first listen. The man was a genius, the premier rock guitarist of all time in my own opinion and a hell of a songwriter . I cant imagine hearing this in 68, must have sounded like an alien landed and picked up a guitar. He had great style and a pretty good voice too, total package. Wish i could have seen him live! Much like the Beatles, there is before Hendrix and after.

He was the most progressive blues player ever & took it to a whole new plateau & has inspired everyone since that had picked up a guitar!!! Just liked & subscribed to your channel. 🎸🎶😯🤩👍

THE MASTER AT WORK!!! 😎🤘

A magician, it's hard to find words to describe him.

Before Jimi....No one ever heard a guitar sound like that ...EVER !..."Are You Experienced" scared the sh*t out of me when I was kid...😆

People had no idea what the electric guitar was really capable of until Hendrix came along. When he plugged that Strat into that 100-watt Marshall amplifier, he changed guitar playing forever.

Jimi Hendrix is unique , definitely one of a kind.

JIMI WILL STAY THE GREATEST GUITARIST FOREVER! ONE OF THE 5 GREATEST MUSICIAN IN HUMAN HISTORY, WITH MOZART, CHOPIN, BEETHOVEN AND JIMMY PAGE! WHAT A CREATIVITY! THE SOUNDS! THE STORIES, HE'S TELLING WITH A GUITAR! IT'S CRAZY! THAT GUY DIED AT 27! RIDICULOUS! LISTEN TO LIVE, BABY, IT'S ON STAGE, YOU WILL SEE HIS REAL POWER! KISSES FROM FRANCE, TENNIS PLAYER😂🇫🇷✌️😘😂

WHAT!!!!!!.... SOMEBODY IS ACTUALLY REACTING TO THE G.O.A.T HIMSELF ......LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm an older guy who grew up listening to Jimi and others when they first hit the scene. I love seeing the reactions of younger folks as they listen to these classics. And I especially love seeing your reactions because of the genuine appreciation you have for these songs and artists. This particular genre was called psychedelic rock. I'd love to introduce you to a couple of other songs from my favorite psychedelic rock band of all time, Pink Floyd. Cut and paste these titles in YT search and check them out: David Gilmour - Run Like Hell Pompeii 2016 and David Gilmour - Comfortably Numb Live in Pompeii 2016 I'll stop back by and check out your reactions if you decide to try these out. Thanks! Joy, please enjoy!

With all due respect to Clapton, SRV, et al, Jimi Hendrix is THE G.O.A.T.

This is actually Voodoo Child (slight return) - there is another version called Voodoo Chile on the same album "Electric Ladyland" which appears earlier in the album

Jimi was a force of nature. People like him only come around, once in a lifetime.

He is built different :)

The God father of metal way ahead of his time the G.O.A.T lives on

you got to check out SRV version , or texas flood live at el mocambo

When I was a young man a long long time ago, I used to drop acid, and when I did and was just getting off, I’d put this on and and put on the headphones, and get righteously launched. Jimi was a guitar demon, one and only, a shooting star that’s come and gone. His like will never be seen again.

Yo I'm 50 and I just heard this on your station.........It was like ,one of the 1st times I ever listened.....crazy kool....sound which proves at least to me that JIMI never grows old

That dude is one of the baddest men to ever walk the earth…..no one else even comes close

I'm subscriber 805! Glad to be on the launching pad. Since I've Been Loving You caught my attention, Voodoo Child set the hook. Favorite song ever. Keep up the great work, Joy. Peace from Chicago

Listen to some Jefferson Airplane from back in my childhood days. Grace slick on vocals is unbelievable.

check out SRV Voodoo Child. Then Life w/o you, and top it off with Little Wing

The original Man of voodoo child Jimi Hendrix and Hollywood hulk Hogan who has it as his theme song

Mr. Eddie Cramer was his engineer. Genius. Jimi produced his own albums.

You just heard the greatest rock and roll song of all time

Seriously - one of great works of art of the twentieth century.

Ah, you are off to a stellar start! Jimi was different - lots of people play the hell out of the guitar, but Jimi played electric waves or something, just used a guitar to control it all. Yes, please more Jimi!

Nice calm relaxing music

Check out stevie ray Vaughn

Jimmy was slightly ahead of his time like the Panasonic slogan. You're loveable&likeable as ever. Can you react to Hendrix Jimmy that is "Fire" such a kickass masterpiece👍👍👍👍

You need to hear the blues version on electric ladyland to have your mind properly blown

Jimmy is like Bruce Lee for me. Originals that changed it all.

🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼 Most excellent reaction! So glad you had headphones, I was jamming with my earbuds in… Stevie Ray Vaughn was definitely heavily influenced by Jimi - I dissed SRV for years until I saw him live. Look for Voodoo Child live by SRV, it’s a fitting tribute and unfortunately SRV died too young too. (R.I.P.)

You are a TRIP, I love ya already! "And The Guitar was Made Flesh and dwelt among us".😇✌

I'd bathe for Hendrix's too.😂😂😂

Jimi was quite a tough character he passed US Airborne training , but was discharged after a bad break during a landing . 60s US Airborne training would be very tough , perhaps some aspects far worse than nowadays

I was seven years old when this song was released and for some reason, I was never a real big fan of Jimi Hendrix. I really got into some Janis Joplin. You need to listen to this song played by Stevie Ray Vaughan. And if you’d like some guitar work, you need to listen to Chicago song called 25 or 6 to 4 Jimi Hendrix was quoted as saying his mind was blown by the lead guitarist Terry Kath

Voodoo Child is my favorite song 🤘

Best song ever.

He was an interdimensional being that paid us a brief visit

please react to voodoo child live in maui!!

Hi there. This is around 1968. He died around 1971/2 Imagine showing like that in the sixties. Zeppelin came later.

Jimi could not read or write musicaly, but was an awsome producer. women used to sneak backstage and steal his clothes randy macho man savage used his tailor for HIS wardrobe. lil bit of trivia for y'all

You need to see the concert version. Also don't miss out on redo of this song. But watch he on stage videos :-) You won't regret it.

And SRV also did a GREAT version of this song

People felt music and improvised before Hendrix, but he brought the two together like nobody else and took it further, Hendrix didn't just play music, at times it was more like sonic tantric sex with the universe. If you can play along to his solos, its gets in you in the way you bend the strings, you feel it in a different way and the feeling wells up and you want more of it, you want to go further and futher. It's really a transmutation of sexual energy thing.

Amazing :)

Genius burns bright, but so often for a short time. They said "Clapton is God" but I think even Eric knows that when it came to guitar virtuosity, it was Hendrix that was God. And you, my dear, are indeed A Dose of Joy. Really like your style and personality. I just subscribed.

Underneath all of that hyperamplification and the wah-wah pedal effects, what Jimi Hendrix was literally playing there were Muddy Waters-style blues licks. If you listen to the actual notes themselves without the extensive electricity, you can clearly hear that they're the same licks as in a tune like Muddy Waters's ""Still a Fool/Two Train Blues": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMphfLKUyb-de4E.html

The best live version of this song are either at Woodstock or Royal Albert Hall.

You think you're in shock now. Wait till you see him do this live at Woodstock

Jimmie Hendrix played the guitar upside down and he stringed it up backwards;

Jimi Hendrix was the best. !!! Z

Almost never see a reaction to this one,not sure why except that the people who have the rights to it almost always get it taken down fast on copyright. Great pick,hope it stays up.

Hendricks: poor man's Rory Gallagher.

should do voodoo chile blues, now that's something

Check out Jimi perform this, Hey Joe and Sunshine of your Love at @ the LuLu Show. That's gonna change your life.

It's actually Voodoo Chile..

You need to listen to the studio album version of 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago.

💖❤💖💖❤❤❤❤💖❤

The video is nothing to do with track, best close your eyes lay back on the bed and let that solo pan across your brain. Amazing

Thank you for not just doing the live videos There is a time for live and there is a time for Studio versions Also Jommy was Left handed but instead of playing a special left handed guitar he played a right handed guitar and just turned it the other way

4:38 too 4:49 faces expressions was serious won't it 🤣

Please check out Stevie Ray Vaughan for keeping the blues rock going. Many believe that SRV took what Jimi started and took it to the next level. Check his live performances

Notice that is a right handed guitar that he plays left-handed

You need to check out house burning down

Come to Houston i got you

Drifting Castles made of sand Vodoo chile blues Vodoo child slight return Machine gun All along the watch tower Red house Hey joe Wind cries Mary Star spangled banner N soooo many more

Jimi could play left and right handed, but he preferred left handed play. To achieve that he took a right handed strat turned it upside down, and strung it for left hand playing. Jimi could play with his teeth, over his head, between his legs, and behind his back effortlessly. I agree with Krisso Starko. There was nobody like Jimi back then, and there has been nobody like Jimi since his death. He was light years ahead of other guitarists. If you put all the good guitarists in a room, Jimi would be alone in another room ten blocks up the road. He was unique and very special. Jack Bruce perhaps best described Jimi when he stated that Jimi was not like a conventional guitar player but rather like some sort of force of nature. Jimi like Clapton was self taught on guitar. People ask how he was so good on guitar. That man strapped his guitar on as soon as he had cleaned up in the morning. He walked around the house with the guitar strapped on, ate his breakfast with the guitar, and even went to the loo with guitar still strapped on. All the time he was working with the guitar. He did that so much that Jimi and the guitar were one. He knew the guitar so well that expression of himself through the music via the guitar was effortless. You often see Jimi with his eyes closed when playing. He did not have to see anything. The music just poured out of him over the strat. There have been many copies, but Jimi was the real deal. I know. I saw him perform live more than once. Incredible is an understatement of his capabilities on guitar. Erm yes....Jimi set fire to his guitar at the Monterey Pop Festival. Not the first time he had done that. At one time nearly burned down the stage curtains swinging the guitar over his head on fire. Feel that vibe!!

Star Spangled Banner from his Woodstock 👋

Bow down to the guitar legand

There are conspiracy theories that say he was from another planet...lucky for us he landed on the third stone from the sun...😁👍

Listen to BABD OF GYPSIES AND ENJOY 😎👌😁

He died in Paris France same as Jim Morrison of the doors

He played left handed ‘

What l find depressing,is that most blacks didn't want to know anything about his music,and know it's almost commonplace to see and hear blacks waxing lyrically about him and his music.

sorry but I`ve always been tardy, dear...I was in 8th grade and my study partner Whitney claimed this cousin of hers was the best guitarist and I had Jimmy Page as my choice...her cousin turned out to be Jimi and we `ve been friends ever since and now yours, dear

If you don't listen to Tom Clay "What the world needs now" I want a divorce.🙏

A Blue player from Texas cover this song. Stevie Ray Vaughan is the closest thing my generation had the Hendrix. I wish both were still around, maybe music wouldn’t suck nowadays.

There’s Jimi Hendrix and then there’s everyone else ! Some people say Stevie Ray Vaughn is better but that’s not reality because Jimi does Jimi and everyone else tried to sound like or look like or act like Jimi and well there’s Jimi Hendrix the originator and there’s everyone else ! You have more modern guitarist but nobody set the music world on fire like Jimi , think about it his first album came out in 1967 and he died 3 years later with Are you experienced ? , Axis : Bold as love and Electric Ladyland oh and yeah he played Woodstock ! The man just can’t be topped especially in today’s era because to be honest it’s all been done before and people look back at artist like Hendrix and his contemporaries and go loco because they were just so good back then , I’m a guitarist and songwriter myself and in the late 80s I was drawn to Hendrix by his music , his persona and besides being an awesome guitarist he dressed so cool and you have to understand heavy metal was the thing back in the late 80s with all the wild metal riffs but I was just gravitating towards Hendrix and his Blues / Rock / Psychedelic music and it changed me for the rest of my life ! People have their opinions about who they think is the best guitarist , but you have to realize he made music when guitars , amplifiers and effects pedals was in their infancy and he did all that oh yeah and he was the master of feedback with his guitar amplifier !

You will differences between live recordings and studio versions of the same song. Often you can hear differences from one stage show to the next, because the artist does something different in a song, or plays a different rift, note, or cord. Jimi Hendrix is one of the most copied, and covered artists, still, in the music industry. What generation will bring up the next 'Jimi?' Good question... Almost no one in the industry today, can play any instrument, or sing, or write lyrics. Until the 'ART,' is put back into music, it will remain the dead, self indulgent, sterile, world of 'rap.'

Why do you put so few videos out? You have fans! But...fans can forget if you don't keep up.

the version of this song sounds really slow or something wrong with it

You appear to be one of the first who will be willing to exploit the Genius of EDDIE HAZEL of FUNKADELIC fame out of the same era. Early 1970's classics MAGGOT BRAIN, I WANNA KNOW, SUPER STUPID, RED HOT MAMA, COSMIC SLOP, MISS LUCIFER'S LOVE, YOU AND YOUR FOLKS,ME AND MY FOLKS, FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW..... GUITARIST EDDIE HAZEL RIP. PLEASE do studio versions first. Most of FUNKADELIC live shows were recorded after HAZEL left the group. FUNKADELIC 1971-1976.

The closest you'll get to Jimi Hendrix's sound is Stevie Ray Vaughan.

You must react to Stevie Ray Vaughan and his tribute to Jimi, Voodoo Child, and also Texas Flood Live at the El Mocambo
