Jimi Hendrix Experience - Johnny B. Goode download

Forget the stupid rankings, greatest this and that. It is art, not a sport. Jimi not so much played the guitar as he did unleash some of the most powerful sonic forces ever heard. He was and is without equal. Anyone who hears this live performance and doesn't appreciate what an incredible, unbelievable artist he was simply is without a clue. The sounds he got out of a strat and marshall stack have yet to be duplicated and I'm sure never will.

Rhythm and lead at the same time and not missing a note.

This guy was just so ahead of his time that its unbelievable. The people that saw him in the 60's probably thought he was an alien from another galaxy or something.

The devil sold his soul to Jimi Hendrix.

the guitar itself did not know it could do this !

1:44 is not even a real note! It's some sort of cosmic jimi thing that he conjured out of no where. He was such a magician! I think it's stuff like that this that reminds of how amazing he was not matter what time. Who else could pull this off....I think he just felt everything he did! He was carried away by his own playing.

Chuck Berry said about Hendrix playing this version of Johnny B Goode He played the hell out of it....

"You guys aren't ready for that. Your kids will love it though."

Nobody else makes distortion sound so beautiful

did he ever even look at his guitar? he just had IT.Not of this planet.

This is the most insane thing the universe has ever heard. And I mean that in the best way possible.

Jimi had more talent, more energy, more charisma, and more sex appeal than any one man deserved.

I think this version of Johnny B Goode shows the difference between Hendrix and  other guitarists very well. Sonically he does things here that no other (known) guitar player can achieve. To some people this is just a noise but it is virtually impossible to recreate. He had all sorts of sounds in his head and had the extraordinary ability to share them through his guitar and he only used very basic effects.

Jimi plays better with his teeth than most people with their hands

1:44 1:45, the ultimate note. He pulled that note out of his soul.

"You know, when I looked at Eric I saw a master guitarist...while Jimi...was some kind of force of nature." - Jack Bruce
