He was amazing. Not just for the flashy playing. My fave things by him are pretty understated. The intro riff on Castles Made of Sand. The last solo in Watchtower. Great voice too. Great image too.
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH MARTI THE REDEEMER WHO STRENGTHENS ME.
Just listen to "Hear my train coming" played on a Japanese Zematis 12 string, watch him playing it and singing it, its actually untouchable nobody has come near to that performance before or since its quite beautiful really.
He was a very special musician, we were lucky.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.
Some footage of the guy I hadn't seen before.Especially the audiences in '66/7,hardly a long hair in sight - is that what we looked like? Quite amazing really,we Brits nicked The Blues off the Yanks,repackaged it and sold it back to them,very much the perception that Jimi was "one of ours" at the time.

One of my favourite albums is his Radio One which is a compilation of 5 sessions he did for the BBC including his first ever recordings.His interpretation of Howlin' Wolfs ' Killing Floor' is outstanding.
To think his first tour in the States was supporting the Monkees !

Always used to start off his early sets with the sped up version of Killing Floor - the first number I ever heard him play on that old white Strat.
Had he lived he would have got into that whole Fusion thing - we called it Jazz Rock at the time.Great era for impromptu jams. Would have produced some awsomeness to be sure.

Totally agree with this, he was defo Jazz Rock in my book, didn't get into Hendrix until recently. A boundary pusher in my view.

Talk about mismatch. They realised soon enough.
I always wondered why Radio One never use that jingle he recorded. Copyright I suppose. Seems odd though.
The Wind Cries Mary is my favourite Hendrix song, in fact one of my favourite rock songs. Great lyrics and wonderful, relaxed guitar playing. I believe he wrote it while having a bath. If correct, what a genius.
I was brought up with Fenders , Bose amps, wah wah pedals and plectrums scattered all over the house. Despite my love of house and techno(my old man nearly disowned me!)Hendrix is up there with my favourite sound. An absolute natural.
