This is the Hendrix performance that SRV got all his lick for Voodoo Chile from..

If you watch this performance you will hear just about note for note how SRV played the song.

Wow- you're right, glad to know this clip exists.

 

[speedtaco]

Thanks, I enjoyed that. If there is a better rock guitarist than Jimi, I have yet to hear them.

 

[WahmBoomAh]

Somewhere between Robert Johnson and Coltrane ....a place that only Jimi occupies ....I didn`t hear one "lick" in there ...a lot of balls and heart though

 

[shngn7]

That just became my favorite version of that song.

 

[Twangmaster]

that man was not of this earth.

 

[Zelmo]

Best 6:53 I have spent in a while.

Anyone notice that he had 5 trem springs. Geez - how's he do those massive dive bombs with 5 trem springs?

Even the way he ends the song is original beyond any expectation. God I wish he was alive today and jamming with Jeff Beck! On tour, just like Winwood & Clapton And thinking of that Jimi & Stevie touring would be very cool.

There are people on this forum who will be quick to tell that you can only play Rock with a Les Paul.

 

[crzyfngers]

and this is why i carried a copy of are you experienced around with me as a kid. the guitar was like another appendage to jimi.

I'm totally with you on that, but surely we'd be reading threads about how "he's lost the fire" or "only got all those early props because he was in the right place at the right time" and--my favorite--"plenty of players today are better than him but never caught a break." :NUTS

[straticus]

I hadn't seen that video before. Thanks for posting it!

I know this is an understatement but.....................jeeeeeeeeeeeze, he was amazing!

 

[Alligator > jam]

can we correct the thread title to "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"? nitpicking, I know ... just asking

Awesome clip, thanks for posting it. I too hadn't seen that before ~ incredible stuff!

Thats how he kept it close to being in tune. 5 n' flat.

thx for the link, killer version

 

[Drifting]

While the studio cut is one of the untouchable guitar monuments in rock, that was sick.

I loved the ending, Hendrix always ended his songs in the coolest ways...

Here's another cut of Hendrix, my favorite live playing ever of him:

Very true Angus. It is sad to see how so many on a guitar players forum are intolerent of other, especially succesful players.

 

[moj067]

What's killin is that he just makes it look so effortless, like he's breathing.
The guy was such a natural, thanks for the link.

 

[HHB]

I think your right, it's the same sequence of ideas if not specific licks. awesome find Jimi rules
