Check out that killer smile, pure joy.

Anyone think this is an absolutely fantastic track that for some reason has flown under the radar?

The Woodstock version is phenomenal and the Crash Landing studio version (original or Douglas'd) is excellent

Was this ever a contender for the fourth album? Obviously it was played with Band of Gypsys, but it always feels like an outlier that doesnt belong anywhere or something. Was he considering it at some point and then just abandoned it?

I'm not up on all the studio dates. It's really hard to keep track of everything, haha

Would love any info on the song. It was a gateway track into him for me early on and I'm surprised it's not talked about more.

Bit of a random one but was just curious on people’s opinions, to what extent do people think acid had an impact on his music/albums?

Obviously Jimi dabbled with psychedelics but how much do we think this shaped his music? I’ve listened to EL many times, and the times where I have whilst tripping it seems like he designed it to be listened to in that sort of mindset.

He had the technical ability to create almost whatever he wanted, but he chose those certain themes etc.

hey guys, i'm doing some research and i was wondering if jimi ever sampled the delightful staple of southeastern cuisine: sweet potato casserole. if you have ant info, let me know. thanks :)

I've heard the entirety of both are available in the original versions of the songs across various other posthumous releases

Thanks for anyone that can give me a hand. My head hurts and I get confused which is which with all the various versions and mixes and edits and takes

I’m somewhat a noob when it comes to pedals so bear with me here. If it’s not because I’m missing a certain pedal that is essential for the tone, I’m almost starting to wonder if the pickups I’m using are preventing me from getting the authentic Hey Joe tone (1997 Strat Plus using Texas Specials instead of lace sensors). I don’t think it’s because of the amp but I could be wrong. I can easily create a convincing overall “Hendrix” style tone and closely match the specific tone of certain songs but as for getting the distinct tone of Hey Joe, I’m stumped. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

I finally went through the deluxe of bold as love and there is plenty of great stuff, but probably the most impressive part to me is the demo of little miss lover. I mean it’s a song made in the late 60s that sounds like it came from the 90s in a genre that didn’t even exist at the time. It just shows how ahead of his time Hendrix was. I feel like you could take the drums and straight up just rap over it which I don’t think I’ve ever heard from a rock song in this era.

Hi,

In your opinion, what are the easiest Jimi Hendrix songs to play on guitar while singing?

I'm looking for something manageable to start with.

Thanks!
