He had some amazing guitar tones that were just really pleasant to listen to. I just got finished writing a book on him and got to listen to a lot of his catalog. It really was pretty amazing.

 

[Nick The Man]

That's actually what I do for a living. It will be "Hendrix Signature Licks: Volume 2," published by Hal Leonard. It should be out relatively soon---maybe a month or two.

No he wrote the first one. I'm Chad Johnson. You can see the other books I've written by going to halleonard.com and searching my name. Remember that not all of the books were my idea! (Some of them were ideas they had for a book and they just needed an author. I'd love to be able to pass on book ideas that didn't meet my standard of integrity, but I'm trying to pay the bills!)

 

[Nick The Man]

thats still really cool that your involved with the books and everything they are real good books


the only ones i buy when i walk into guitar center are these

his music is just so damn good

I was listening pretty deep to the album cut of "All along the Watchtower" one evening after leaving a friends house to make a 2 mile trip home. I pulled over a few blocks from home and got out to look around and figure out where I was.

Is that CD the same as the 'Rainbow Bridge" LP? Yeah, when i first put that record on, i was pretty blown away. It just felt exciting, like you had made this huge discovery. What got me the most about getting new 'official hendrix releases' (i.e. the albums he more or less intended before death) was how absolutely different each one was in terms of writing, message and sound. When i was new to his music, getting each disk, and then listening to it for the first time was like "what the????!!!!"....It didnt sound like you thought hendrix "should" based on everything you had heard him do on previous albums....Just marvelous stuff...even when he was bad he was good...there is this Isle of Wight version of "Message of Love", performed not too long before he died, and there was equipment problems, and it was 3 AM or something in the morning, and Jimmy was just lookin so strung out....and you could tell in his playing....but the tone and phrasing, and overbending of notes and squeeks and squaks...damn, man, damn...all i could think was, "how the hell can i get that tone" !!!

...Rainbow bridge....

"Is the microphone on....?"

yeah i have the isle of wight on DVD and CD


i believe you are correct, there was two albums that came out in like the 70's after his death but in like 91 they combined the two and created the new rays of the rising sun

but man he is just incredable

When I was a teenager (70's!) I had a vinyl LP called Hendrix In The West. I think it was the Isle of Wight recordings. It had a version of Little Wing on it which was jaw dropping. It seems it never made it to CD, unless any of you know better??? I'd pay a lot to hear that again.

That was an amazing version. Though I think on the West coast of the USA? I don't remember.

Everyone know "Three Little Bears" from War Heroes?

I have this great record called "Loose Ends", a bunch of random stuff. The highlight is him playing the rhythm guitar track for the song Electric Ladyland, unaccompanied, complete with Eddie Kramer asking him "What's it called, Jimi?". Unbelievable playing.

Can't find it online anywhere. You and boingoman are probably right it wasn't IoW - I've drunk a lot of wine since 1977 If you do find it let me know?

I found some info, we were all right- it's a mix from California and the Isle of Wight:


"Hendrix in the West is a collection of extremely good live Hendrix performances between 1968-1970. Three different concerts are sampled on this 1972 Polydor/Reprise release, one of the few official live Hendrix releases following his death. Standouts include "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile" from the San Diego Sports Arena, a great rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes" from the Berkeley Community Center, and the brief but entertaining coupling of "God Save the Queen" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" from the Isle of Wight."

Though I seem to remember something from Albert Hall?

I have a good vinyl. I can't drop it to disc at present, but would be happy to send a cassette. You, too, Nick.
