love to see young players discovering and falling in love with Jimi's music/playing, he was really something , and as humble as he was talented, check out his interview with Dick Cavett if you've never seen it, you can find it here on YT. great playing here btw.
Hey brother, I just subscribed I dig your channel. and also your dad is a legend.. I seen how much you love Jimi Hendrix. I don’t know why this would matter much but i thought you would like to hear this possibly ?! I have a USA made fender Stratocaster 1996 one of 200 made. it’s right handed but it’s flipped upside down even the fender logo is backwards also, It happened to be signed by his dad Al Hendrix. I got it from a music shop in New Jersey mom and Pop shop. And in the early 2000s Al Hendrix was there and did do a stay off drugs campaign for the children, and he signed it there. and the fender company donated the Stratocaster’s to the music shop for this event. as far as I understand, this is one of two USA fender Stratocaster 1996 model’s that was signed by Al Hendrix.. GOD BLESS.
Me as a lefty handed started tô play guitar with upsidedown strings Thanks tô Jimi Hendrix but some weeks of sadness trying a simple G chord i Discover that Jimi used to play with normal strings (thin strings down and low strings above) but its too late now ive been playing inverted guitar for 15 years 😢
Wow, I've been a Jimi fan for 30+ years and I'd never heard Sending My Love to Linda. I just listened to it and wow. I definitely hear the grunge in that main progression. For some reason, it gives me an Alice in Chains vibe.
The.... Ramones? Ahhh, come on mate. If you're putting yourself out as some philosopher of music and popular culture, you really can't make such a daft mistake as saying The Ramones were a Seattle band and part of the Grunge scene. It makes you look like you've just had a cursory flick through a wiki article, just so you can make a video. For what it's worth, your vid is really interesting but that's such a big mistake and makes you look like you don't really know the thing you're talking about.
@newts225 thank you for your reply! I don't have a blues junior, but I do have an ampeg superjet, ( comes close to a Blues Junior) and no Big Muff fuzz, But I use an m audio Neo Fuzz, it has both silicon and germanium transistors. So I can get a great Trower sound. Works for me, and my strat is a 1998 customized Mex Strat. Good guitar jammin' to you!
...and he did it on the Third Stone From the Sun... How Lucky we were to have both Him and Jesus on the Same Planet...‽ ...I would have Been Fine even with Just Saint Peter... Chepa Forever...❤
Jimi is massively overrated. He was a very innovative guitar player with his unorthodox note progressions, but he's far from being technically proficient.
You can cream your pants over Jimi as much as you want, but this statement does a disservice to his influence, and his contemporaries. Jimi was musically innovative but he's not the only musician to change music, and he had his own influences to boot.
Hendrix invented things like swimming, spaghetti, and most importantly, drugs. Also, is your dad Joe Piscopo? That guy is HILARIOUS. One of my favorite snl cast members from the 80s UPDATE: This kid's dad is indeed Joe Piscopo, so I'm guessing he can pretty much just concentrate on playing guitar and making these videos.
I love Hendrix so much. Me and My Son Flew Out To Seattle On Sept 18th Just To see His gravesite. I dropped To my Knees And Cried Like A Baby. There were Other People there playing Hendrix on Bose Speakers. We smoked a couple Joints with some Folks . I was 12 years old when Jimi Hendrix Died. I already had every poster I could find In my Bedroom .oh The People We met At The gravesite Couldn't Believe We flew From Philadelphia to Seattle to just be at the Gravesite.
Guitar sounds great! You play very well! Great video, too.. The connection you made with Nirvana's song is easily heard.. I also heard strong similarities between Heart Shaped Box and Hendrix's riff. To say Jimi's influence on the guitar players of his time, and arguably every guitar player since.. either directly or indirectly, is not exaggerated. He certainly influenced Zeppelin Nirvana and the Ramones. But, incidentally, the Ramones were not a Seattle band.. that wud be Queens, nyc.. and to say Page was an influence on Iommi any more than Iommi had influenced him, is not a widely held opinion and one that would be difficult to substantiate..? Edit: Also, just for the sake of the accuracy of Hendrix info... Linda Keith was one of Jimi's many side pieces.. But, she had the distinction of being the first of all such side pieces. More importantly tho, she was the person who was ultimately responsible for the unknown Jimi Hendrix going from showcasing his talent, jamming to rooms of uninterested people to showcasing to a mostly empty room where Paul McCartney happened to be one of the unsuspecting few to be there..
Okay, you HATE me by now with the way I am pushing for you to get a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone pedal. I swear on my '58 Strat that it will open up a WORLD of distortion possibilites! I have a spare that I will ship to you, if you can't aquire one, at no cost to you. Please try one out and play, play, play with the EQ knob. Run the pedal through a clean channel and let the pedal do all of the gain work. Love your videos, and thanks for posting!
Songs like Peace in Mississippi, Midnight etc... were the first Heavy metal, also Tony Iommi himself declared several times that he was inspired by Jimi, not just Jimmy Page
Yup, they were from Queens. Even if they were from Seattle, I still think the whole bit about Hendrix being related to punk rock or grunge in any way is a pretty big reach. You can't just play a Hendrix riff in Kurt Cobain's style and say it's grunge lol
Just so you know, you and Music Is Win are the best guitar youtubers! I don't know how you dont have 1M subs by now. You should really do a gear collection video!
I'm done. You then go on to mention Aneurysm in comparison to Send my love to Linda and play a part of Aneurysm but you play the part that isn't anything like Linda. It's the opening that is really, REALLY like Linda (which I didn't even know till this vid, so thanks for that). Which shows me you are reading other people's material to write this piece. This isn't your own thoughts. It is plagiarism and like much plagiarism, it gets it wrong.
Slop from Hendrix and Page was when they played live, IMO the reason for it was improvisational risks.. Hendrix was sloppy but not like Page, Page kind of trudged on through the slop and went with the flow creating kind of a psych whirlwind. Hendrix on the other hand would make mistakes easy to hear some of those mistakes on the expanded Band of Gypsy’s Fillmore sets…the genius is how he would allow those mistakes to open up new unique improvisation and he would then weave his way back to where he was causing the listener to try and comprehend what they just heard. He was magical as is Page but in different ways.
