r/jimihendrix

Since the Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix studio record never came to be, I made this playlist to approximate what the collab coulda sounded like. It spans electric-era Miles, late-era Hendrix jams with Larry Young and Dave Holland, Santana, Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Tony Williams Lifetime, Frank Zappa, and more. The image is the cover art that Mati Klarwein (*Bitches Brew*, *Live-Evil*, and *Abraxas*) had created for the project.

From Mix With The Masters. I am a guitar fanatic and think highly of myself as even a Jimi-impersonater, and I have professional audioengineering skills and ears, but I never guessed just how light his touch in the verse noodling was! The thumb on the E-string is holding down the harmonic foundation almost too steady to notice, but it all becomes like he is backed by a fine pianist while he noodles. The 100w Marshall with the rare old heavy magnet G12H30 greenbacks has the huge clean headroom yet has the blazing fire and glowing hearth at a constant when it's cooking like this, and the cleans of the dynamics is relying on this most light and blooming touch.

Jimi Hendrix is the clearest example of a genius in music.

It seems to be axis bold as love judging by the tracks , but I’m wondering if it’s limited edition or something and if so how to get it - it’s amazing!

I was recovering from a surgery for a few weeks as a 16 year old kid back in 1998 and I got a stack of CDs to help. This movie soundtrack was one and when I heard “Red House”, I was floored. It is still my favorite Jimi song after all these years. This opened me up to SRV, the three kings and everything else I love today.

As an intermediate guitar player, this song, Texas Flood and Blue Sky just hit so much different for me.

^(Bold as Love is my favourite JH song, I consider the 7 minute version at Olympic Studios to be Jimi's greatest ever recorded work on the guitar, a tone straight from some Godly realm.)

^(He played the song once live in 68' to my knowledge just wondering why he never played it again? Was some of the guitar parts too intricate to sing live to on stage?)

^(Was Jimi fond of the song?)
