Bold as Love is an incredible song, and I gotta say, John Mayer really did the song justice too. So fun to play!

It’s funny because I loath the smooth polished sappy sound of John Mayer s voice in that great song. He has this horrible pop affectation to his voice that just grates

@caseylockwood5512 2 года назад

Haha my gf says the same thing, and i get it, but there's definitely no denying how great the guitar playing is. I think maybe John tries too hard to "sell" his voice to us, because he really does have excellent blues sensibility...i feel like if he sang with less breathiness or something it might sound better and not so "poppy"

I think the other big thing to realize is that he's also singing while playing rhythm and improvising these incredible licks in between the chord changes. His ability to be in the groove and sing so expressively while juggling all of these tasks amazes me.

@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 7 месяцев назад

He was a synesthetic (heard colors as sound and saw music as colors ) so I suspect he had special brain wiring that let him multitask that way better than most.

I knew it was going to be Bold as Love before the video even started! Epic riff and amazing song. The 7:08 instrumental version of Bold as Love (recorded at Olympic Studios on October 5, 1967) from disc 2 of The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set is absolutely tremendous. It gives me chills every time I listen to it.

The moment when he rolls his volume knob up and the fuzz kicks in is just amazing. His best version imo.

Its "Foxey Lady" for me. The power, the rythm, the chord! Hendrix also changed me as a guitar player forever.

@colinburgess7728 2 года назад

great video. I was a mid-teens guitar fanatic in the mid-60s when the first albums came out, and like you, was inspired like nothing else before or since. I saw him twice, once up close in Bournemouth and once from a huge distance at the Isle of Wight Everything about Hendrix was unique, his songs, his playing, his voice, his look, his showmanship. I even remember the day he died - what a tragedy I tried to take the sprit of his playing rather than slavishly learning his licks, and I think that served me well, as with countless others. we will never see his like again

@sahajamatya 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing.

@davidsantucci1555 2 года назад

Wow!! Extremely jealous that you got to see him play live…as an 80’s baby I never had that chance but I do work for a promoter in NY & got to meet Mark Farner (from grand funk railroad) who I had to drive to & from his sound check/show & got to talk to him about playing w Jimi & knowing & hanging out w him. And that’s the closest I can say I’ve gotten, btw Mark is SUCH a down to earth & cool guy AND Amazing guitar player live still! Soo much energy!!! Anyway I just thought I’d share.. Hendrix is the greatest influence on guitar players everywhere to this day!

It's a three way tie for me: the acoustic "Hear My Train a' Coming" (found on the _Jimi Hendrix: Blues_ compilation), the US _Smash Hits_ version of "Red House," and the Monterey Pop performance of "Killin' Floor." For people who have never heard a Jimi Hendrix song before, I feel like you could get a pretty good understanding of who he was and what he was all about by taking ten minutes out of your day and listening to those three songs.

that's what made hearing Hendrix for the first time so shocking back in (1967) we had the very same influences the popular RnB, Blues artist ect.. to draw from but no one had the creativity and insight to take things on the gtr to where he did. Everyone back then was taken by surprise and completely blown away. 56 yrs later here we are on RU-vid studying what he left behind in such a brief time and at such a young age 27.

@kkjhn41 2 года назад

That first picture of Jimi backing Wilson Picket is really so much more. It was from a gig as the backing band for an Atlantic Records party in NYC at the Prelude club May 1966. The party was for the release of Percy Sledges' When a Man Loves a Woman album and single. The King Curtis Band was serving as the house band and besides Jimi included King Curtis on saxophone, Cornell Dupree on guitar, Chuck Rainey on bass and Bernard Purdie on drums. In sheer talent that's a band on par with the Funk Brothers, the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, The Bar-Kays and the Wrecking Crew. They backed Wilson Picket, Percy Sledge, Esther Philips and Don Covay that day. Many people have noted the influence of Curtis Mayfield on Jimi's playing but it's interesting to note that Cornell Dupree is also noted for the use of double stops and chordal voicings and embellishments that feature in the playing of all three. This was the style of R&B guitar playing of the time. It was Jimi who combined this with his vast knowledge of many blues players and styles, his own unique melodic and rhythmic sense, his expansion of what was still an emerging rock sound and his exploration on the use of volume, feedback, effects in and out of the studio based on the electric nature of the instrument new possibilities for the sound and vocabulary of the guitar. There will always be in music history a before and after line named Jimi Hendrix.

I always liked this song the most for exactly the same reasons, sone of which I only realized after watching this video. Plus, his playing is very relaxed and reflective and off the cuff without seeming rehearsed-plus almost like he’s looking back on his life in a thoughtful way. I also like how the tone of the Strat through the Marshall seems to envelop and wrap itself around the listener in a big way. The song itself being about his emotions and colors and who he was inside shows through in the whole song but especially the intro.

@nzeches 2 года назад
