JImi had definite ideas about intros to songs and drum patterns he wanted played as in the famous drum intro to All Along the Watchtower. There was an album called Loose Ends that was just that, studio out takes and such and part of it was snippets of the rehearsals for the Fillmore New Years shows. They were just jamming on Blue Suede Shoes and Jimi had a high hat intro he wanted Buddy to play and Buddy just wasn't getting it. Jimi was singing the part he wanted and Buddy was trying to repeat it but Jimi kept saying, "no, no man. Like this!" and you can hear the frustration in his voice. And this was for a song they were just jamming and weren't going to play at the gig. That's why Jimi regretted not being able to read or write music, it was hard for him to get across what he was hearing in his head to others and he really wanted to do more structured pieces with lots of players doing parts he wrote, not just jamming along.

@brandonterzic 3 года назад

The hippest thing about this tune is how it oscillates between a swing feel and a straight 4/4 and also his phrasing on the solo breaks has an eerie hue to it and has all these strange black panther/Vietnamese/Indian qualities. Miles Davis said "Jimi was playing all these funny Indian melodies" Also worth noting that the performance of this song and machine gun from the 2nd night of the Fillmore shows came after Bill Graham critiqued Jimi on the first night, telling him that he shucked and jived but didn't really play. Jimi asked him if he'd would be around for the second show, and the following night he opened with those tunes back to back. After he got off stage he walked up to Bill and said "satisfied, mutherfucka'?" Bill said, and I paraphrase here: " What followed, with respect to Carlos, Duane and Clapton and all the other greats, was the single greatest performance I have ever heard. He just stood there stock still and played and played. It was emotionally devastating and I don't ever expect to hear it equaled." Good work RJ. You are digging into the subtleties of Jimi's playing.

@rainbowchild31 2 года назад

HI RJ it's funny but I had the same thoughts all my life about this riff. You're completely right and I have the same difficulty to keep on singing my first phrases on the G note while playing. This is the proof that Jimi came for outer space :)

@luisalextorres 3 года назад

great video. every time i played this on guitar it always felt off for some reason. like when you listen it sounds basic pentatonic like playing black keys or something...which subconsciously felt off in a way i couldn't explain. this answers the question i didnt even bother to think to ask haha

@jaybreen1010 3 года назад

Very interesting how this eludes our ears as listeners. To me the reason is how anchoring the D is as the root, and it too lands on a strong beat (3 if we are to take your perspective from the video), pulling our ear to it as though it was beat 1. In that way the song's meter is almost in 2 rather than 4. This reminds me of the question of which chord is tonic in a two chord vamp like on Fire on the Mountain by the Dead. It comes down to the phrasing of the melody in time, to me. And applying that here, as you did, we arrive at the G being the start, the 1, of the Who Knows riff. Well done. These musical puzzles are kind of holding it in your music in your hand like a three dimensional object - to examine the facets from different angles. One viewer sees chaos in a room-sizsd 3D diorama while another one sees a composite picture from disparate elements. That viewer is the one seeing the piece from the perspective intended by the artist. ;)

@kirk-b-patrick 2 года назад

I had the Band of Gypsies live at the Filmore East on vhs when I first was learning guitar in 97'. I totally agree with you here. The thing that drove me (drives me) nuts with that incredibly amazing recording is that his guitar is tuned like right in the middle of standard tuning and e flat tuning. So I would always jump back in forth not knowing what he was tuned in. Of course years later I've long figured that out but to the beginner, back before RU-vid, its very confusing.

@MasterBassNow Год назад

I 100% agree with you @RJRonquillo and am very happy that you made a video about it. I wouldnt say that cover bands are playing it wrong when starting on D but i also wouldnt say that this little detail is little. I think it completely changes the feel of the song with drum fills landing on G and it also make the song great and so fun to play when done as it was intended. And me as a bassist always wondered, why this detail about where the ONE is is so unintuitive for the drummers and hard to explain as even if they know that its on the G, they will start good but sooner or later they start landing the fills on D (or D♭) again xD

@edbur1 3 года назад

Yup- you are so right. I noticed the same thing from listening to Jimi's solo phrasing on BOG's- he starts every phrase on that down/up beat riff that starts with the G note. You can take it even further by isolating that one particular bar and not playing the descending note riff starting with the D that starts the next bar. It gives the song a whole different dynamic and actually makes a lot of sense, even if it's hard to wrap yer head around it. It's kind of a different take on the "Dolly Dagger" groove.....
