Jesus, this guy was the sickest guitar player ever. Watching on video, you can hear incredible sounds, and see how completely effortless it was for him. Its like he has a database of 1000 badass riffs to choose from, and he's just randomly throwing them together in awesome ways. Its why every performance I hear from him of the same song is so very different and badass in its own right.

i've often wondered how Prince would work out if he would ave had the chance to jam with Jimmy H...
Prince may have gone off the rails about as he aged(as do most musicians to a certain degreee, Jimmi just didn't age at all ), and started putting out soft R&B ****e , but they both have similarities.. for better or for worse, both were the musical genius's of their own generation sure , Prince has a bigger element of show to his performances, but that's more due to the day and age in which he grew... these days it's a lot worse then back in the sixties, or back when Prince just got out... i think the difference in style is more due to the different time and it's just a very interesting "what if"...

gratuitous Hendrix Flying V pics. First one is the '67 serial number unknown. The tobacco suburst is a '69, serial 932954. The last one is the Isle of Wright guitar that Gibson made for him in late '69, serial 849476.

I have worshiped "Jimmy-ism" and all good things related. Oddly enough, I've seen Prince in concert too. Never made the connection... Enjoyed the thought just the same. Gordo

When Jimi was very young his Mother left, leaving him with his Father to raise him. Jimi always felt star crossed because of this...thus the Voodoo Child imagery..
When Jimi was a boy his Dad saw him playing a broom like a guitar, so his Dad bought him one... Jimi ate, breathed and ***** with the guitar..U can see just how naturally he handles it in his vids, it like it is part of him and he knows everything it can do. Jimi always was shy, and quiet, Jimi expressed his emotions through the guitar. The guitar did his talking for him. Thats one reason why no two renditions of a song are the same.

i actually havent eaten any shrooms in a looong time i do realize they do not share much musically on the surface one plays rock, the other does funk but both play the guitar, Jimmy is obviously more the guitar player and Prince is more versatile, and has been known to play blues just the same but both are the top produce of their generation, come from a humble upbringing and they both are known as prefectionists... either the personalities would have clashed, or i would have been an awesome jam... i think the latter, because Prince is younger and actually was influenced by Hendrickx when he started playing music...i think they would have complimented eachother musically

Jimi Hendrix was not only a technically gifted musican, but he crossed over into the area of being a conceptionalist, of having a vison of the sound U want to produce. Now Jimis conception was more organically based, because the music he played was based upon how he felt. Jimi expressed his emotions through his playing his guitar. This combination only comes around once in a great while...Miles Davis, Louie Armstrong
Other conceptionalists are Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Pete Townsend, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Roger Waters and John Forgerty None of the above are paticularily gifted technically. Technically gifted Musicans are: Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Alvin Lee, Duane Almond, Jack Bruce, John Paul Jones, George Harrison, Brian Jones, Edie Van Halen, Ry Cooder, etc... None of the above are particularily good Conceptionalists

Anyone else have the album "Loose Ends" ? - there is a quiet instrumental track on that which is beyond sublime. The name of it escapes me at the moment.
Also, from Electric Ladyland (one of the greatest titles of all time); "Moon Turn the Tides...gently, gently, away" And Castles made of Sand also does it for me - Hell, just about all of his stuff on every level. He was a better poet than Morrison I think and his guitar playing... the only explanation was he was not from this earth.

I was never a big Hendrix fan. Then my son, who is now 15, got into Hendrix when he was 13.
I really had no idea how great he was.

great dvd for those interested in the details
http://www.amazon.com/Making-Electric-Ladyland-Jimi-Hendrix/dp/B001HBH18K Making Of Electric Ladyland [DVD] (2008) i bought it after seeing it on tv and its worth buying a bit sad that only after a few years of making the film, all the major players are dead Originally produced in 1997 as part of the Classic Albums series, The Making of Electric Ladyland is reissued here newly edited and with some 40 minutes of additional material, making it a genuine treasure trove for Jimi Hendrix fans. Recorded in fits and starts during an arduous, poorly planned tour of America and released in 1968, Electric Ladyland was the third and final studio album the rock-guitar legend completed during his lifetime, and while it was arguably not his greatest--many would argue in favor of its more focused predecessors, Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold as Love--it’s his most ambitious and most experimental; it originally occupied two full vinyl discs and featured several additional musicians, songs by other writers, an extended blues jam, and one piece, "1983… A Merman I Should Turn to Be," that took up almost all of one side. A lot of the folks who took part in the recording are on hand to discuss it, including several who are no longer with us (like producer Chas Chandler, bass player Noel Redding, and drummers Buddy Miles and Mitch Mitchell, both of whom died in 2008). The musicians’ insights and recollections are cool; organist Mike Finnigan sits at his Hammond B-3 and demonstrates the deep groove the band created for "Rainy Day, Dream Away" (a session Finnigan was never paid for!), while bass player Jack Casady of the Jefferson Airplane plugs in and replicates the part he played on "Voodoo Chile." But the best moments come when engineer Eddie Kramer sits at the mixing console and isolates different tracks from various tunes, revealing touches like Hendrix’s harpsichord part on "Burning of the Midnight Lamp," his comb-kazoo playing(!) on "Crosstown Traffic," and the electric sitar he jacked through a wah-wah pedal on "1983." There are also vintage interview clips with Hendrix himself, as well as talk about his work habits, his lifestyle, and the controversial photo of nude women that originally adorned the cover. But it’s the music that matters, and The Making of Electric Ladyland is a fascinating look at the work of one of music’s true immortals. --Sam Graham
