Frusciante gives a pretty damn close impression

@@hom0s4cer yeah he does the making of give it way is a great example although he does in many songs

3:00. 10:00. 0:53

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Kenny Wayne Shepherd his successors BOTH did/do. Robin Trower is also very very close.

What's the point in sounding exactly like somebody else. Sure some might try it, most players take stuff and make it their own. I hear Jimi influences everywhere

Haha, yeah, that's how I feel too.

Actually it's more like making a person, or a guitar, levitate!!! 🎸

Ivan Malanquini that’s the magic of the recording also man. Those 60’s studios had power!

U didnt get the point

Uh, I love Jimi's music, but it really isn't to hard to play his rythym parts. Some of his live playing (mostly his solos) is hard, yes, but the majority of his discography isn't that hard. Can you give me a few examples of songs of his that you think are difficult?

Ivan Malanquini yeah! The Beatles too! Specially Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road and Let it Be álbuns.

Guilherme Lacerda da Costa Yes, can’t think of another band that made hundreds of songs that all sounded different. Won’t ever be another like them

I'm 74 and I bought a Fender Strat six months ago.

haha, great story!

Ya first time Hendrix played with Clapton he played “ Killing Floor “ and literally blew Clapton off the stage.

unrelated but clapton had to pull over his car when he first heard SVR on the radio.

@@richat1691 imagine Clapton listening to some KZfaq guitarists?? As much as I appreciate what he "might" have done in blues. The more I got into playing, the more I find Clapton stuff to be generic ...

Have u heard his playing on derek../live at fillmore and the more recent from the cradle? I get what u saying but the above is as good as it gets.

Hendrix is among some of the greatest guitar players of all time,"technically" he isn't in the top 10,000 but that doesn't matter. i love hendrix's music personally but i know he isnt "the best" or close to "the best" but he certainly influenced modern music as did jimmy page,eddie van halen,nuno bettencourt,the edge,yngwie malmsteen ,randy rhoads,steve vai,guthrie govan etc. the subjective nature of music makes your statement wrong in every regard.if you leave the list up to "rolling stone" or "the grammies" or any of the other laughable bullshit awards shows,music industry types or music executives who think they can judge music you end up with lists that say "jack white is in the top 100 guitar players of all time when in reality he isnt even on the list of 100,000 guitar players.

Strat players don’t “hide behind their humbuckers,” says Ritchie Blackmore.

bill kirchen

He's my guitar inspiration, can't wait for a why Knopfler Kicks Ass video

Another true original, great player.

@@wtpattonjr There's nothing like a Fat Stat

Shiran Vyasa For the amount of recorded material in the short time he was here, I’d agree

You wanna have your mind blown check out Guitar Shorty's vids here on youtube and youll see his trail was blazed for him by this guy!Even Chuck Berry got his ideas from a guitar player in the 30's !They expanded upon what was already there !

Gary Hundsrucker Just checked him out, never heard of him before. I am 🤯

Virat Shah Jimi didn’t inspire legions of people? C’mon, give that some thought there. Just look at the players that inspired the most lessons on KZfaq. It’s not Scotty Moore. They are Hendrix & BB King. Far more rock & blues players (but not the only genres)were & are still influenced by these 2 than were not. Who gives a 💩 how Jimi lived his life? Best of all time? Ah, well, uh. But for the short time (10 yrs maybe professional)he was here he made an impact that has yet to be matched. Think SRV would’ve been the same without hearing Hendrix? John Frusciante? Robin Trower? I can keep going if I need to. Scotty Moore? How bout the country gentleman himself? Chet Freakin Atkins!!

there lots of great guitarists,im one,you probably also are.i think of music in terms of running ,track and field etc but more like a relay and not a drag race. there are no clear winners or losers,just people carrying the baton and with each new person we are all adding something to what existed previously altering the original formula.sometimes the addition is good,some times its bad but it adds flavors to the original recipe so there are billions of ways to reach the same end.

Indeed he was!

@@GuitarPilgrim Ahh Absolutely!

I love playing his stuff indeed, although I am immediately reminded how brilliant he truly was and how I can never play like that, I have to work my ass of to achieve 10% of what he did

Since I am in Ireland, I definitely should do something on rory!

I love guitar, but whenever I want to listen to guitar, I watch any Rory Gallagher video.

@@GuitarPilgrim Great idea! But you better learn to sweat..lol

I totally agree! Please, Guitar Pilgrim, do it! Best wishes from Brazil

+1 on Rory Gallagher!!

Thanks for those kinds words brother, I am glad to be of any help!

@@GuitarPilgrim Love the "thumbed" barre chord that puts you right there for our "leads". Of course, gonna take my old ass some work but it's definitely going to pay off. Love your style my man and thanks for humbly(rare) sharing with us. PEACE from Philadelphia

Thanks David you’re very kind, I am glad you liked the video. I never know if a video is any good, when editing I see it a thousand times, after a while it’s hard to tell whether it’s crap or good, so your comment is appreciated brother!

@@GuitarPilgrim - I have been watching and listening to Hendrix for a long long time, trying to work out how he gets his amazing sound. And now I know! You explained it so well. You have a gift for communication.

I agree, no one have ever played as emotional and expressive as Hendrix did at Fillmore East that night, there is nothing that comes close of that performance.

There is something special about that performance of Machine Gun that confirms my belief that Hendrix was one with his guitar -nothing mechanical but like playing with the 3rd eye.

He certainly is for me too!

Not even hendrix lol

I love that song as well, it’s more funk inspired, awesome!

the lead part that comes just after the beginning licks you played....

well, there is Joe Pass, too. ; P

Guthrie govan

Guthrie is a fantastic current guitar player but Jimi started it all. Everybody has picked up bits and pieces of his playing style. Right?

SRV 😁

I loved SRV but there wouldn't have been an SRV without Jimi!!!!! Stevie carried the torch.......He died way too soon..........

I should do a video on why Little Richard kicks ass, because he most definitely did!!

Guitar Pilgrim oh yeh that would be great.!

@@GuitarPilgrim jimi all time icon my favorite,he was tapping other sources.i was lucky 2c everyone that passed thru l.a.in those days..still got bootleg cassetts that work.. saw ltl richard one night and holy hell did he cook non stop .i was blown away. high energy 2c n feel live..he was kinda funny to..brilliant u open wth dolly dagger,lov th way u breakdown th players

Thank you brother!

@@GuitarPilgrim I was in England last year, saw a show of a guy called John Campbell, he does a really good Hendrix tribute show, I really enjoyed it, if you ever have the chance to go and see him play and sing, do it man, I'm sure you'll love it👍

@@SHERIFF8311 There is a plethora of Jimi Hendrix tribute bands. Simon Koretz is one I have seen.

Woah, that must have been amazing, that's awesome brother!!

It changed my life! I was 14 at the time.............

Same I have a big palm but shorter fingers I guess. I just can’t get my thumb to act right

Amen to that brother!

I’ve tried so hard to mimic the baseball grip but just can’t get there without screaming out in pain. I can see how Jimi did it because he had huge hands, but how did Stevie Ray Vaughan do it? I guess there’s a reason why he was SRV and I’m not! 🤣

MJ H SRV had big hands as does John Mayer

Dillon Hamrick I didn’t realize that. It was obvious with Jimi because his hand looked like it would wrap around the fretboard multiple times.

MJ H Yup SRV had some strong fingers too bending those .13 strings I think. Yeah Jimi had alien fingers for sure. I’ve been trying forever to do the thumb thing

Terima kasih!

Haha ;)

The 50 year legal moraltorium on Jimi's music comes off on 18 September this year.

Me too on my thumb A friend of mine played it that way with no problems

That’s awesome Brian! thanks for taking the time to comment, let me know how it goes!

thanos adreou Dolly Dagger

@Kevin King, lol.... I think the same.....

Kevin King both are wonderfully talented and I am thankful for their love off teaching others.

Because it has to be a competition, right? If only the world had just one dimension, where everything can be rated on a single line, it would be so much easier. That's the way 5 year olds see things - which is the fastest car, who's the best baseball player, etc. Most people grow up and start understanding that it's not that simple. Some don't.

@@jacquesgilbert2774 that idiot can't just be grateful that those two are doing wonderful things they pit them against each other

My thoughts exactly. As soon as he played that Jimi style I subed at the speed of a Bruce Lee one inch punch. Instantly my fovorito new canal carnal. You feel me?

Little richard, you can’t help but love the man!

@@GuitarPilgrim - When I was a kid my older cousin played me Little Richard records on his record player. Been a fan ever since - for the last 56 years.

@@carltaylor4942 his voice... nobody can sing like that, absolutely brilliant!
