I kind of feel justified or validated. I'm used to younger people dismissing the music I grew up with having not actually listened to it, 'Old fogey music'. The times they are a-changin'. Besides, from the state of the music today, these kids are starving for a timeless tune.

Simply the greatest guitarist ever. He "literally" shocked the world in 1967. Nobody, especially famous Rock Bands like the Beatles, and The Who, had ever seen a person make a guitar do the things Jimi did with it. He changed Rock music over night during a show, in a small Pub in London on this evening. He went from an unknown kid from Seattle Washington, to a world famous legend, as an artist and guitar player, that still influences artists and Bands to this day. He's a once in a lifetime talent.

@@andrewcastillo9558 Hendrix could play it both left and right handed, which likely helped alot. I don't think you could flip a guitar, restring it and hand it to too many other guitarists and they would pick it up and play it like something they grew up. There's a cool/sad story Eric Clapton told, apparently the day before Jimi passed Clapton got his hands on a left handed fender with the intention of giving it to him, somehow missed him backstage in London and the next day...well. I just can't help but think, if he was that amazing playing an upside down guitar, imagine what the potential he could had with one made bespoke for him.

I'm sure you'd admit, it's not the exact same thing, there are certain intricacies you can only really get from a purpose built lefty, whether it's down to simply comfort. But then again, maybe a part of his ability came from spite, not having the right tools forced him to play that much beyond his comfort level. It's an interesting thought if nothing else.

I had a T-shirt made a few years ago that said, "I may be old but I got to see all the really cool bands!" I'm turning 73 in a few days and I got to see Jimi Hendrix in concert 3 times and he was awesome, unbelievable. What's weird, all these pretty young people you see in the audience are in their mid 70s now if they are still alive, myself included. They are the grandparents and possibly the great grandparents of the young people alive today. Interesting thing, Jimi put out 3 studio albums in his short career and his vocals on these albums are absolutely stunning and quite beautiful. Check them out, plus he wrote and engineered his albums himself and they are years ahead of the times, amazing!

IMO Hendrix was on the short list of guitarists who permanently changed how the instrument is approached, right alongside Charlie Christian, Les Paul and Eddie Van Halen. But I've also always loved his voice. Much like his guitar playing, his singing may not have been especially technical, but it was beautifully expressive, he felt every word. Plus, he reminds me a lot of two of my all tine favorite blues artists, Muddy Waters and Lightnin' Hopkins. I suspect they were big influences on him.

I had to chuckle when you said Jimi Hendrix joined a band. Jimi Hendrix was the honorary Isely Brother. There are great guitar players, then there are legendary guitar players, and finally, there is Jimi Hendrix. He is to the electric guitar what Mozart was to classical music. We can't just measure Hendrix's talent by how he sounds to our modern ear. Many guitarists have taken what Hendrix did and ran with it. But Hendrix was the first in so much of what we think of as the electric guitar sound. He redefined the instrument. For instance, everyone was trying to get rid of feedback, whereas Hendrix used it musically. Heavy Metal is one of my 2 favorite music genres. Now, Hendrix in no way plays metal, but without his innovations, the genre wouldn't sound anything like it does. I just picked metal due to my own bias but Hendrix's influence sweeps across all music. I always list Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and the Beatles as the most important musicians of the 20th century. Honestly, I should add Hendrix to that short list.

Clapton, Beck, Greg Allman, and later Stevie Ray Vaughn could do that, but Jimmy was 1st and best. I apologize, but I don't include Page - even though I feel he was a highly- skilled, technical and fast player, I don't find that he could play a long soulful solo (most of his solos were made from a run of several fast riffs strung together, not really squeezing any emotion out of his notes. Also, he could hardly improvise, and his originality is a bit questionable...just my opinion - and I don't blame anyone if they disagree.

From a purely physical perspective, Jimi was made to play guitar. The length of his hand was 10 1/3 inches from middle fingertip to wrist, which resulted in him being able to span at least 1/3 - 1/2 of the fretboard. If you notice, he wraps his thumb over the top of the neck to bridge those strings.

Not bad honey. I’ve been listening to Hendrix since Woodstock. You put it well. His guitar spoke to everyone in his, my generation. World wide. Simply put, he was the best there ever was. 🎸✌️❤️ Rock on !

The discovery and restoration of this film performance and the original audio tapes is a genuine miracle, most of the film and audio footage of this Maui performance were thought lost forever, only bootlegs existed for decades, this is a very special show (2 separate performances actually) and one of Jimi, Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox very best, July 30, 1970

Jimi went to England looking for something new, but wasn't impressed when he recognized everybody else was playing Muddy, Berry, Little Richard, etc. So he innovated. That's what made him a 'Game Changer'! Tk God.

you can't really pinpoint with hendrix how much was he ahead of his time, and how much of what came after drank directly from him it feels so modern, so timeless, yet he was the very avant-garde of rock

first there is so much i could tell you about my favorite artist of all time, but i will just for now tell you that in the beginning his dad would catch him with a broom strumming it like a guitar. so many think he is just faking playing and yes but also he was learning Rythm the way he strums complicated rhythms is outstanding and considering most of the time he is also playing bass with his thumb at the same time is a true gift. second i have loved your reactions and lessons for a long time and you seem to enjoy the most beautiful music same as myself. today watching you dance like that brought back such memories you are an angel brought to us thank you for everything you share. p.s. if you listen to more Hendrix don't stick with the popular rock listen to some of his blues he was a god. he listened and learned from all the greats then improved on what he heard in his own impeccable way

Thank you for recognizing the raw talent and strength this young guitar player put out. His voice was adequate but seriously the best guitarist and performer IMHO. Its so nice to see all of these young folks recognizing the talent that was from the 60s and 70s . I truly think it was a golden age in Blues and Rock.

I do remember and thankfully seeing him live at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970, it was a strange atmosphere, because of so many delays with other bands Jimi didn’t get to perform until around 2am and many people were half asleep. But not me a 17 year old, standing only about 20 feet from the stage. I was in awe of him and a big fan, I remember idiot dancing to the music, one track which I will always remember, All Along the Watchtower was particularly special 🎉

How come vocal coaches won’t touch The Cure? There is not one vocal coach or “expert” who will listen. Robert Smith’s voice has changed so little in forty plus years. Listen to “10:15 Saturday Night” in 1978 and then listen again in 2020. It’s incredible.

There’s something to be said about Jimi reinventing guitar techniques and technology. As a singer he sings like he played guitar. Louis Armstrong did the same as his vocal style was an extension of his horn playing. Jimi also was similar in how his vocals were influenced by his unique guitar style.
