Stairway is NOT stolen Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Here's Why Jimi Hendrix's Backwards Stratocaster Was Awesome And now you can buy one just like it!http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/music/a17922/jimi-hendrix-backwards-stratocaster/ Interesting. I actually turned my pickups upside-down when I first got my guitar, hoping it would create a more distinctive sound. (Hendrix inspired, of course)Interesting. I don't own a Strat, but that has gotten me very interested now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I actually love Hendrix, but I always get a kick out of Hendrix fans, they are very easy to get upset, they bring a smile to my face. As someone who plays left handed I can honestly say that I think it's cool that there is 1 really famous left handed player - in fact I would argue he is really the only famous left handed player because righties get so much attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trey Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Huge fan of Hendrix. My dad had tickets to his last tour of Britain but then it was cancelled due to Billy Cox's breakdown. My Dad saw Led Zep at University and said they were incredible. remembers Whole lotta love as the best song of the night!It's interesting to watch Led zep interview on September 19th and Jimmy's first response on hearing death of Jimi was it's a tragedy. For having not seen him live he certainly knew that he was incredible and really loved Jimi. He called him the best in later interviews. I often feel they were kindred spirits in the studio and the love of improvising live. Has anyone hear seen Hendrix live? What was the main impression you got?

Trey Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The question of what might have been for Hendrix is incredible. I think if he had made that session with Gil Evans he would have had a great mentor for Jimi. He could have taught him to write and arrange and once he studied this imagine where he could have taken the form. Jimi was a game changer like Miles and Coltrane and I think he would've been the leading person in the 70s. It's the biggest loss in music and I think if had overcome his problems with management and stress etc.. he would have possibly been the greatest of all time. He was that good.This was one of his last performances and he was playing on another level in that last year. At 8.30mins it's like a trapped beast and then that monstrous sound at 8.50. Most intense note ever played! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would post something from it but the Hendrix copyright police are pretty hardcore, every video I've posted here has been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best music was ahead of him I'm convinced. He trusted the wrong people, he was a vulnerable and reckless guy in his last days hanging out in London and mixing pills. I Didn't know I couldn't post vid otherwise at chance of being removed wouldn't have done it but it won't let me edit and remove it. Where has the edit button gone? haha Edited November 18, 2015 by Trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover 75 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I do agree that Hendrix seemed to be rejuvenated, once he retooled his band. Check out the complete Woodstock dvd performance. Band of Gypsies just solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
