Who are you jiving with that cosmic poet he's heaven sent

❤ i wasn't even born but when i see the light i was aware

You were fortunate to see him

You got that right!! I thought that many a time----

Jimi, like all great artists and great music, will be with us forever. Beethoven, Mozart, and other musical geniuses haven't diminished with time, neither will Jimi and many other musicians.

Right. I think he wasn't even from this universe. Not him physically, but his spiritual energy. He was otherworldly, totally cosmic.

He's a voo doo child, a voo doo child, lord knows he's a voodoo child .

I wish you to join him in the hell 😢 !

It’s cosmic and magical. Hits my soul.

No doubt!

He's on there because he was a pioneer, not because he's the best ever. He didn't just open new doors for what guitar playing could be, he crashed through them. But he's not the best guitar player there ever was.

@@nunyafunyuns There is no such thing as the GOAT or the best there ever was, since taste in music is utterly subjective. Jimi definitely crashed through those doors and I agree that others took what he started and expanded on it. I like to say Jimi came up with the idea that the sounds that could be made on the guitar had no limits. Just listening to EXP for the first time I thought "He's getting all that from a guitar? I've always considered him my favorite (I never say GOAT) but someone finally took my top spot last year when I discovered Buckethead. Just listen to Under the Arctic and tell me this guy is not a musical genius. He's released over 600 solo recordings, and has done dozens of collaborations with others. Truly a musical savant.

@williamgreenfield9991 For sure, bro. You understand what I'm saying. Jimi deserves his throne, just not for being the best guitar player ever. You're absolutely right about it being subjective. Different styles, different techniques, different genres. There's no such thing as the best guitarist ever. And even if there was, he may not even be famous. Talent is everywhere. Fame is not.

PREACH!!! they murdered him cos he was way to good with his axe..and they weren't having it! Especially being black..and being the best guitarist in the world..MURDER WAS THE CASE

Let's not forget. Unique he was left on the guitar mostly But he was amberdextres could play left or right handed . His dominant hand was right for every day tasks Just saying . Fun fact .....

😊

you got it he was the best of the best

Man Mitch Mitchell is in a trance like state in the middle of that solo.

​@@camronbay1Jimmy grał po prostu pswoje umiem sy L.

This! There were guitarists back then who had "better" technique or who knew more theory (look at Wes Montgomery or Phil Keaggy), but no one has ever matched Jimi's creativity and ingenuity. His sound was his sound and no one will ever truly reproduce it. Not the fastest, not the most knowledgeable, but 100% the most original. I'd trade every show I've ever seen to see him on his worst night.

@@ryand.5857 me too

Pretty sure with ten inch hands he is a part of god who sent him to earth to change nusic.Amen

If you love this, just think how great the music in Heaven is gonna be! And Jesus Christ is the door.

The Winterland live album is amazing. Were you at that concert? Or one of that series?

I'm agreed a lot of that remake 😤 so le's talk about yours rewards!!😅

His hands were ten inches! I'm 6ft 2 with hands of someone 6ft 9 and my hands are 91/8 inches. So just imagine. I have a 16 shoe and I never met anyone personally with bigger hands. His soul goes into that fender.

Yep, that's why he was getting frustrated near the end, feeling like everyone just saw him as a freakout guitar slinger, while he wanted to be taken seriously as an artist in general, as a singer and a songwriter. It's sad that success isn't always gratifying.

@@nunyafunyunsTrue that. I was fortunate to see Jimi and the Experience live in Sacramento when I was 17 (1968). I will never forget when he was introducing one of the big hits like Foxy Lady he said "This is where we were a million years ago but we know this is what you want to hear". I heard that before he died he expressed interest in doing something with Rahsaan Roland Kirk, the brilliant horn player that sometimes played three reed instruments at once. Now THAT could have been amazing.

@williamgreenfield9991 Absolutely. Jimi had a lot to offer, but I think he was feeling constrained at the end. I'm so jealous you got to see him. I wasn't born until a year after you saw him in 68, sadly. But I did grow up mining all that music from the 50's through the 70's as I was discovering my own generations music in the 80's and 90's and beyond So much good music in such a short period. And now it feels like it's all grinded to a halt. I feel bad for kids today in that they don't have heavy hitters of their own generation. But they can always do what I did when I was a kid, and mine the older stuff.

Jimi reached out and he smacked Mitch Mitchell. "Don't you ever touch me again!", the band mate said. Then Jimi, "I WILL ALWAYS TOUCH YOU." And so he does.

Heaven!

Jimi strung his guitar the normal way,he just played left handed. I'm pretty sure he wrote right handed tho. Albert King is the guy who played upside down.

That's true 👍

Wow, what a great artst.❤

😂😂😂😂😂😂Nice one I like that! 👍

I was about 7 or 8, saw him in a video shown on American Bandstand. I believe it was at a pop festival where he set his guitar on fire. Still blown away after all these years.

Absolutely brother! Saw him a few times and every show the songs were amazing and unique to what was moving Jimi at the moment.

​@@knuckleball54Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchel deserve recognition for being able to fit so fluidly around what Jimi was improvising.

hats of to Mitch and Noel

Just how Mitch and Noel were able to keep up with him is a marvel on its own...

I hear you dude. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I remember the first time my friend played me nugent double live gonzo. 😊

see you in the Next world

Absolutely! The album version sounds exactly the same, which shows that there was not that much changed.

So true. What many forget is how utterly new and unique this was when it came out. No one had EVER heard anything like it before. Now there are a million "freak" guitar players. His influence is everywhere and whole genres and sub-genres were spawned, Heavy Metal being just one. The birth of Heavy Metal can be heard in the Beatles/Stones/Who/Hendrix sound.

One day you'll understand that jimi is God 😊

😂🎉😮❤😅😢

Ben detto! era un alieno con la sua chitarra..un dono per la terra!🎉😊

My belief is: If Jimi had lived until today he would not be a revered as he is now. Let me explain, Jimi was not a juke box, which is what the music industry wanted him to be. He was not content in playing Purple Haze, The National Anthem and Hey Joe for the rest of his career. He was a moving growing force that no one understood. He would have disappointed the fans because he did not want to sacrifice his guitar like he did at the Monterey Pop Festival, though it was a thing of magnificence, it was also spontaneous, just like Jimi. He wanted and expected so much more of himself, so much more from the music he was creating. Rock music is completely different today because of Jimi, but it would have been so much more if he had lived. I believe he left this world because we couldn't have handled anything more than what Jimi gave us. He left at a time when very few appreciated or understood him. He gave us everything that would take a lifetime for us to understand. I don't think he was taken from this world too soon; he was taken because that was all this world could handle at that time. To this day his music and his amazing gift still leaves us is awe. I hope someday we can fully appreciate what the gods gave us in Jimi Hendrix. I know he is resting in Peace because that is what he gave the world....Peace through the gift of the universal language that is called music. Thank you, Jimi.

@@paulengle9245 The Jimi Hendrix experience could, would have transformed into something far - out In to other dimensions of sound reaching new stratospheric spiritual proportion. Thank you, for your point of view.I liked that. Stay coo,l stay safe. Peace out.

Sadly, the music industry would push him into funk or disco at some point

🎉

Long live you and Jimi…please tell me you’ve heard Wishbone Ash Live Dates?

Drank a lot of Budweiser.
