Jimi Hendrix Licks NOBODY Can Play 

Respect to you sir, thank you for keeping guitarist and bassist in line and laying down the grooviest grooves possible! haha

It feels like it belongs with the third side of Electric Ladyland. I call it the "Rainy Day Suite". Love Or Confusion is one of my all-time underated Hendrix favs. It should be a prerequisite for humans over the age of 16 to be familiar with it!

@@patriotpizzaman If i'm correct, Jimi wrote "Rainy Day" at the Miami Pop Festival, when it rained. 3 Glorious Days of Music. I was there for all three days.

Oh the envy I have for you

Man ur lucky

Facts

Damn. He played a Marshall, and his middle name was Marshall. What a coincidence.

I'm surprised I've never made that connection lol

Literally !!

Yep and James his first name...

So true. It’s like the human voice in a way, it can be impersonated but that has limitations.

Sounds pretentious as fuck

@@chrisr7419 which part?

Might sound wierd but it's 100% legit. You can copy the notes but without Hendrick's lifetime of ingrained muscle memory, Hendrick's hands or Hendrick's heart it won't sound exactly like Hendricks. It'll sound like you playing Hendricks. There's a lot of bends and other techniques that are just very unique to eacb individual player. At the highest levels it's often character and inflections that identifies an artist more than level of technique.

It is one of those things that even AI can't nail. The subtleties, the imperfections, the human touch. His guitar had a voice, Jimi was like the messenger who let the instrument speak. You kinda get to ask if the guitar played Jimi or the other way around

This song takes me to a whole other place

That song does not get nearly enough respect. Way ahead of its time

agreed 100%

Yeah man it’s criminally underrated. Same with pali gap

My absolute favorite song by Jimi

lol yeah took me a while to realize that is what was going on... its quite pathetic how protected his license is

How though?

@@Bstonz85 by that comment being a joke

It seems a joke, but the extra cable capacitance rolls off high frequencies and that was a major part of his sound!

Maybe the title was meant the be a slight at the Hendrix estate. At least that's how I heard Tyler's "I can't play Hendrix, but I can play Hendrix" comments.

@@werdecurb Exactly. Ironically the software he was using is officially licensed by the estate.

Hendrix state are killing his legacy. Is so sad that money and greed does to art. I'll be waiting to the moment the ownership expires ill do a full cover of every hendrix song as a thank you note to jimmy

I'm afraid he would end up sounding like a polished turd going up and down endlessly on the fretboard, if he had started playing in the 80's or after

@@Heatfarmer nein

@@Heatfarmer So true. Theres that rawness and freedom in jimis playing that makes all that crap sound so disingenuous and lifeless

Bad proof reading. SHREDDING what's shedding LUL

Except Jimmy never played lukewarm…

And his name is either James Marshall Hendrix or Jimi... not Jimmy. If ya can't spell his name ya likely can't play his licks...neither can I...but then devil is in the details of ✌

Even a lot of Hendrix fans have never heard it !

@@SuperCrazylegs26 yea and it’s quite sad. Beautiful instrumental, horrible movie lmaoooo

Definitely my fav instrumental. It’s just so calm and exciting at the same time

I'm a hardcore Hendrix nut. Pali Gap might be in my top 5 songs of all time. It's filled with such emotion that it has brought me to tears, so many times

Got the rainbow bridge soundtrack on vinyl. Good stuff on that record.

Yeah exactly.

Kramer is a god, but just listening to the little wing isolated tracks jimis tone is still astounding before production

I do love his later live sound though, Marshall cranked, fuzz cranked, booster too. He had so much gain, he was well into 1980 heavy metal territory, not quite Randy Rhoads "amps about to detonate" distortion but way more than any pre 1980 Metal album by anyone, Priest, Maiden. Wxcwpt Sabbath maybe, but even then on the most of the early albums for high gain, Tony actually doesn't use that much, Geezer also had a lot of overdrive thaz contributes to the overall sound but some of Hendrix later live tones where just fantastic. I don't known if he had any of his amps modified but you'd at least need a Plexi on full, a fuzz on max and a booster to get gain like that and it didn't get fizzy either, he still had a beautiful clear glassy tone, not some undefined fizzing like some 1960s high gain guitar tones. He had the output on max but the distortion probably pretty low on the fuzz and the man knew how to set an EQ to deal with that much gain long before everyone else. Sure people used fuzzes and screamers but most didn't have that nice a tone, unless you like that but often rich in high end fizz, which I just don't like at all. And really boxy too, Hendrix had that compression going that made everything sound super roubd and smooth.

Woodstock should’ve been nuked. It wasn’t and now all those hippies are in congress demonizing police, spreading Anti-White hatred, sexualizing children, gender propaganda, sympathizing for illegal aliens and convincing Americans to be soft feminized drones. Damn I wish that concert was bombed.

I’m pretty sure the joke is that he cannot legally play those songs for these videos. That’s why everything he did was remarkably close. I’m sure he can play all the songs with ease

Not a saxophone? At times I have thought I heard the influence from jamming with his father Al. He even called it "the public saxophone"

that’s a pretty deep cut too hard to find online

Cream can never get enough credit. Somehow even Clapton gets overlooked!! His work on Bluesbreakers stands as the standard of electric blues guitar.

Jimi wanted to meet Clapton when he first moved to London, he was Jimis hero

❤

Shhh you
