Jimi Hendrix: Trapped in Amber | BIOGRAPHY | Rock Music, Guitarist 

There will never be another Hendrix

I'm sick of hearing people say "The Cream"! It was just "Cream"!!! I love this video! Jimi is the best!!

I have 72 Jimi Hendrix cds!!!.... I'm a huge fan of Jimi!!... when he wasn't on the road,..he was in the studio!!! Jimi is,was,and always will be the best!!! Love you buddy and will see you soon!!

As I have been teaching guitar for 40 years, I can honestly say I have not taught more then any other artist Jimmy’s songs truly, he was my hero growing up and coming in on the tail end of his career I truly knew at that point a guitarist was what I would be and I have never let go of that goal, remembering the 12 hour days that I would practice so that I would eventually achieve Being a gigging musician like Jimmy, one of my heroes me growing up in the south it was certainly strange my parents not able to embrace my hero worship of this man who is black for me. Colors had no lines. I am totally blind, so I didn’t even know the man was black to tell you the truth in the beginning lol nor did I ever care just like B.B. King, or any of the rest they were afraid of Jimmy, though he will get a lot of power, and I think they were afraid of conspiracies that were spoken about and I truly believe they murdered him RIP, Jimmy I look forward to the day I can join you and jam at the ultimate festival. Thank you for all you left behind. I can’t imagine what you could have accomplished shame on the people who took advantage of your kindness And manipulated your art. At least I know you’re free as I will be soon myself dying of cancer. At least I know I am looking forward to meeting Jimmy. There is no doubt he is the lead guitarist in God‘s band. I can’t imagine the betrayal Jimmy must have truly felt watching down from heaven although he experienced, I’m sure the ultimate peace there’s no doubt he was well aware of the betrayal of the people who promised to protect and be a friend the laugh is on them as they all died in strange ways did they notQ 42:28

Jimi did machine gun live, no one never came close of playing leads like that, even today, band of gypsys was some of his best playing, I know I seen him at the Fillmore 😂

It wasn't and isn't about understanding the musicality, Hendrix wanted you to feel the power.

JIMMY WAS A MASTER OF ELECTRIC SOUND👍💖🙏

Well if you talk to Jimi he would tell us it was Sister Rosetta Tharp that he really liked she was one of the first electric blues rockers that influenced him

Thanks for another dose of information regarding the work and musical aspirations of Jimi, of whom I have been a huge fan for many decades. '' Music is Magic, Magic is life.'' Jimi Hendrix.

Jimi is still influencing still inspiring people on the guitar, I started learning music latter in life , I appreciate Jimi greatest even more, bringing different musical elements jazz blues improvisation, I read back in those days guitars never stayed in tuned so Jimi found a way, improvisation throwing the rule book out the window, not stogy playing by the book, being adventurous Jimi will be influencing players for decades to come , he was the greatest guitar in the player

Linda Keith we thank you

@40:30:00- 41:14:00: Hendrix was in the army, & was assigned to the 101st paratrooper training, before the Vietnam war escalated, so he saw no combat. But he defended the war, agreeing w/the "domino" theory that the democrat admin had posited, when it got the US involved. Good to know that he was vy much a political conservative, & despite recognizing the negative, he still loved his country. RIP, Jimi.

Hendrix will Always be Rememberd for Writing and Playing Songs that People loved and the Top Recording and Touring Rock Act of The 1960 s !!!! Toes,feet, Fire,Guitars, Girls,lsd, Party's 27, Hey Joe, Foxy Lady, and That List grows longer ever Day!!!!!

DA MAN!! Loved This Man!!😮❤

Very informative interview's with Keith Altham, JH PR Agent. Many interesting story's/views and memories of Jimi. He introduced JH on stage at the I.O.W Festival '70. And conducted Jimi's last UK interview in London, August '70.

Excellent documentary 🎼🎥 Thank you

Excellent Jimi Hendrix Guitar Master at 24-28 !!!

Correction: Purple Haze, his most famous riff is not an E octave, but a B Flat Octave. That's what makes it trippy as it's in the key of E. Great documentary. I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Wow he was a great awesome genius and the world knew it soooo he is still the genius man of guitar 🎸 and all of the new guitarist know what he did jam and was sooo cool

He made Electric Ladyland at The Record Plant in NY, Electric Lady wasn’t even planned at that point.

He was unique, a great old soul🎸

Excellent documentary with cogent, concise testimonies. Just a note that Malcolm X probably never met or heard of Hendrix. Malcolm died in '65, while Jimi was still on the American chittlin' circuit as a struggling guitar-for-hire. Jimi was discovered by Chas Chandler the following year.

Butterflies and zebra’s Love it !! ❤❤❤❤❤

42:35 - Another cheap shot at Buddy Miles. The Band of Gypsys is Double Platinum. The video put out by Experience Hendrix went Platinum.

Nobody talks about how huge and powerful his hands are ...

Its such a shame that he died im born in 88 so im 35 yrs old this year 2023 i grew up listening to hendrix love his music and many others like him. He was one of a kind, i am canadian so im white but im totally not racist neither is my whole family who also grew up listening to hendrix my dad loves bb king freddie king and albert king i have a les paul and play jimmy bowskill music sometimes i also like andy timmons he is also up there with the likes of jimi i would like to say but i would of love to meet jimi he had the same birthday not year but birthday nov 27th as my old friend who i met 12 years ago in 2011 i think he was into metallica and megadeth but when i played like hendrix for him he really thought it was groovy hes also 35 this year until he turns 36 on nov 27 go figure cheers jeff god bless jimi!!!ROCK ON HENDRIX LONG LIVE THE MASTER!!!WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

JH. Sound MAGNET! 🧲

Cool 💯😎 Salute

Me too, and I am 75 now, unbelievable!

FIFTY. PLUS. YEARS. AGO. AND. ITS. STILL. LIKE. YESTERDAY. HE. SHOULD. HAVE. BEEN. AWARDED KING. OF. GUITAR

The best period explanation point

45:28 - Who did the research on this docu?? They should be embarrassed unless it was an agenda behind it. It should have been mentioned that Jimi rejected Mike Jeffery's insertion of Noel back into the band. Instead, the narrator says Jimi, Noel and Mitch. It should be Jimi, Billy (Cox) and Mitch.

I studied Jimi Hendrix guitar riff style

To Jiimi's credit, even Noam Chomsky agreed the domino theory was true

Im always shocked to hear criticism of the “Band of Gypsys” album. It was always one of my favorites and I loved Buddy’s singing and drumming on that album. In the end, I prefer the Experience stuff with Mitch & Noel but, thank god they recorded that album to give us another flavor of Hendrix to enjoy. My other comment is that I personally loved the 2 Alan Douglas albums: Midnight Lightning & Crash Landing. I get the fact that it’s controversial to remove old tracks and bring in session musicians after Jimi died but, the fact is….those songs were unfinished and I thought Douglas did an amazing job producing a finished product. To this day, Midnight Lightning is one of favorite albums of all time

As liker 1k I want to say ty! Great vid!

A musicians musician And a kind & gentke soul

Jimi was my Hero, he died 200mt from where I was sleeping in Ladbroke Grove London....I still remember the day it blew me and my young new wife away in sorrow!

Jimi lives! 😳

The Cry of Love was full of songs that foreshadowed his death. 'I'm looking out my belly button windows and a swear I see a hole lota frowns, and I'm wondren if they want me around.'

Así de sencillo........+50 años de su muerte y sigue siendo el Rey absoluto de la 🎸 por fans y rockeros inmortales lo reconocen, nadie como Jimmy!!

Thanks COOP the WiSeNhEiMeR from Richmond, INDIANA ...

The Woodstock promoters, paid Jimmy $35,000 to perform and add credibility to the endeavor. Mike Lang said landing a few big act’s they overpaid the going rate to gain momentum to the festival. The Who and a few other act’s were given $10,000. The 35 Grand payday was the equivalent in today’s dollars as 295 Grand.

Dude says he was a writer around 320, he was always writing. It's a widely know fact he couldn't read or write music in the traditional sense, which is mind blowing!

God he’s so cute !!!!! And talented, I can’t forget talented !!!!!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE JIMI HENDRIX.!!!!! But, he was no jazz guitarist..., yet.

Electric Ladyland Studios should be the 8th Wonder of the World. What Jimi designed and understood of the recording process was lightyears ahead of anything else at the time. He never finished it. It's still used today. Little Richard's Band influenced Rock'n'roll forever. Jimi and Billy Preston. Watch Billy transform the Beatles on Get Back. Then Billy transforming the Stones into a funk band. Whatever you say about Mr Richard he sure could pick talent.

There's been so many things said about Jimmy even his death 🕊🌹🎸🌈🦋.I was very young when he died but growing up his music was always played and he became my idle .AS what i heard on him playing fascinated me to me as the best great guitarist .he may be gone like Jim Morrison both masters of music. i wounder if they were still alive today what would have they become or would they have as him always dreamed if creating an orchestra wow could you imagine that .I'd say it would have been so cool.rest in peace to both of them especially jimmy Hendricks. godbless them 🙏🙏🕊🕊🦋🦋🌈🌈🌻🌻🌹🌹🌷🌷🙏AMEN TO THEM.🙏🕊🕊🦋🦋🐬🐬🌟🌟🌈🌈🎸🎸🎸🎸🙏

❤❤❤1%🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

We have arrived

His last show those devils where not only booing they were calling Jimi the m word

Michael Jeffery saw Jimi as a ca$h cow, period. When he saw Hendrix was NOT going to be directed and changing his whole trip, he took out a million dollar insurance policy on Hendrix as an act and himself "disappeared" in a suspect private airplane crash, identified as aboard ONLY BY A PIECE OF HIS JEWELRY

🎸🎸🇧🇷🙏

A lot of that was clearly made up, but I do agree he was a genius musician and writer.

Chas was genius obviously, Eric Burdon was a besty of jimi's. His first book has some good anecdotes, and some sad ones.

👍

Cool . Fact Check: Eric Clapton took long guitar solos with CREAM which pre -dates Hendrix. Hendrix was relatively unknown in THE US. COMPLELY unknown in England where l Chas Chandler took Jimi to jumpstart his career. They went to Club Wah one night to see CREAM live. Townsend, McCartney, Ronnie Wood, and more in attendance. Hendrix sat in played with Cream . Clapton almost quit the guitar. Clapton the 1st long soloist in Rock? John McLaughlin with Mahvishnu maybe.. John Mayall, Paul Butterfield? Hendrix was the man, not the 1st extended guitar soloist.

I agree Mitchell's drumming was equally iconic and those postmortem albums with the campy 70's drumbeats were a travesty.

At 3:33 a guy states that "before Hendrix, no one took lengthy guitar solos and for ten years after Hendrix lengthy guitar solos were considered great." Is this guy kidding? Cream were already a band by the time Hendrix came to London. Cream pioneered lengthy guitar solos with Eric Clapton on guitar. In addition Jack Bruce on bass and Ginger Baker on drums improvised lengthy solos along with Clapton so that all three musicians were jamming and improvising at the same time. Hendrix, on the other hand just took solos while the bass player, Noel Redding stuck to a very simple repetitive bass pattern. Mitch Mitchell did however improvise his drum patterns during Hendrix's solos. I'm not saying that Hendrix was better or Clapton was better, I'm stating the fact that Cream were already jamming lengthy guitar solos when Hendrix appeared on the scene. In fact Cream is recognized as a supergroup and the founders of lengthy, improvisational sections during songs. Another point of contention is when that guy states that for ten years after Hendrix (1970 - 1980) lengthy guitar solos were considered great. This is also not correct. After Cream broke up in 1969, long jams during a song were going out of style. Certainly by mid 1970's and beyond very few bands supported the idea that lengthy solos were great. Led Zeppelin was one band that did venture into areas of semi lengthy guitar solos but Jimmy Page kept his solos in check. They didn't jam a song. They played the song as it was put down on record.

Other than the corny, annoying and obnoxious background music, this is one of the better docs I’ve watched over the past 30 years. Very good interviews although some of them seem a bit dated. The revelations of further investigations surrounding Hendrix’ death are discussed very briefly. Not given much credit at all. That’s a shame. My experience with the music/entertainment industry has taught me that once you’re at the top, you become a major target for all kinds of chicanery. I’ll always believe he went out just like Sam Cooke. Set up by a crooked manager who was already an overbearing crook. To them, the artist is more valuable dead than alive.

Billy Cox was his bass player in 1970 not Noel Redding. After the breakup of the Expierience Noel never rejoined the band.

Look who’s telling Jimi story

The April 5th, 1968 show that Sid Griffin is referring to at 26:52 took place in Newark, New Jersey - not Chicago. Later, that night, Jimi jammed, with Buddy Guy at the Generation Club in NYC. The day of MLK's death, the Experience played 2 shows in Virginia Beach.

Randy Hansen's rendition of 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to Be) is damned good.

The name of the recording studio is Electric Lady Studios (44:25 see the door) not Electric Ladyland Studios.

I will play my guitar just like JIMI HENDRIX

Band of Gypsies is Dope!

he played randall's island to an atmosphere of utter chaos.two months later,he died in london,from complications arising from an ingestion of sleeping pills...

'😢 😢 Paparazzi' by the rapper 'Exhibit'.

Chas was instrumental in procuring instruments for the instrumentalists.

This is cool. Why can't they say Jimi ? Is it because all these videos are advertisements to make the lady who runs the estate richer ? Jimi 💙

I will try to Play my Guitar just like JIMI Hendrix !!! .... WILLIE G .😎

Jimi is GOD

I think strings make a big difference. I’m a nuclear/mech/elec Eng. The nickel content will raise or lower the response of the magnetic field. Also the flux of the field is altered based on the relative difference in position within that field. Hell it’s why we can raise or lower individuals pole pieces.

So after he died, when his albums continue to be released, yearly, even to present day, where did the profits go?

BOG > Experience

40:10 - Malcolm X was dead in 1965

Purple Haze isn't just an octave it's Low E E7#9

Nay no Canopied King Royal Court or Royal Ring with flattering lips can ever woo away A single second of the night in a cold spotlight I herd Jimi Hendrix play./IAS/Last Train to Crossroads/

40:32 - Jimi changed his political views near the end of his life in 1969-70, which is how we got Machine Gun.

Maybe I'm too narrow minded about this point, but they said repeatedly that Jimi played Jazz, but I don't think that he actually did.

And nit a link of his music in the whole documentary. Fail.

Jeffries offed Jimi for a life insurance policy

47:00 Jimis death. some say he was murked. what do you think? FBI was watching. Black Panthers wanted his voice. that was dangerous for Jimi

How can you have a documentary about Jimi Hendrix without any examples of his music? Very odd.

I'm like 2 min in, money and skin color.. fck that it's not about that

I think Jimi could have played morgan freeman in a biopic about him. Someone else would have had to do voice i guess.,

Buddy "Miles flat drumming and unimaginative songwriting:. I have never heard such a 180° difference from reality statement in my life. The "Band of Gypsys" album was groundbreaking! One of the best things Jimi Hendrix ever did. Who wrote this shlock? That's the problem with these hokey documentaries, just stick to the facts and leave your personal opinion out of it plese!

GO NAVY SEALS PHILADELPHIA

He needed a name change Jimmy to J.I.M.I.

.. I believed that Jimi's death was accidental .. perhaps his took one too many pills along with the drinks

How do they jump from February to September 1970? Shit, his career was only 4 years and they say not one word about the last half year.

You two really need to look at each other and make a decision weather you want Jimi to grow in the eyes of the people coming next, or you just want to cash out on your idea of what he was to you

So, you think Hendrix actually died didn't you? It was such a surprise to him when he heard that on the news.

Lots of little bits of misinformation in this. His first Guitar was definitely not a Fender Stratocaster.

Hendrix was a great player but I don't agree that Hendrix founded fusion ( jazz-rock). He was a blues-rock player with R & B roots and decidedly not a jazz player. There's a bit more to jazz fusion than just being "out there" in terms of chords and scales. I can buy that the experimental improv elements in Hendrix's music set up mainstream rock audiences and opened their minds to stuff that was happening in parallel as jazz bled into rock. Miles Davis said he was inspired to court rock/pop audiences when he attended Monterey Pop and saw the huge audience it drew (his subsequent Bitches Brew album is often cited as the beginning of fusion, though there was other stuff already going on as well such as so-called hard bop and soul jazz - Brother Jack McDuff Quartet et al) . Of course Hendrix played Monterey Pop but it's nonsense to conclude his hard rock is the musical parent of the music on Bitches Brew - though blues itself is certainly always present in Jazz.

Dear host, Hendrix was broke for the entire duration of his professional career. The man, the, mag!c, the truth by shraon Lawrence explains all.

Your narration should be sped up. Set the playback speed to X 1.25 and you’ll see what I mean.
