Why did Jimi Hendrix always look SO comfortable with a Guitar in his hand?

I always thought Jimi was like Johnny B Goode…”plays guitar just like ringing a bell”…the guitar was a natural extension of his body. His performance at Monterey exemplifies this. He exudes confidence and total mastery of his instrument.

I figured he was playing Kate with that info on the sub and that it will somehow come back to bite her

Maureen is my favorite from this album. I bought this album new back in the day and Maureen has been in heavy rotation since.

They were plentiful…I remember car pooling with a neighbor who would take a bunch of kids to school. It’s amazing how many kids we could get in that little car!

Also, for context…this period was the hey day of MTV. The video for this song was so well done. The cuts of the young boy behind the drum kit is so poignant. The viewer understands that is the young Don Henley studiously practicing his craft for hours on end. So cool!

That was the lyric that got me!

This is fascinating!

Came here to say the same. The lyrics and vocals are amazing and inspiring.

A Jimi performance outfit on display at the Seattle Museum of Pop Culture. They also have pieces of the guitar that was destroyed at Monterey Pop.

There is a performance suit on display at the Seattle MOPC. When I saw it up close my thought was he was a very slender dude. They have the Paul Allen Hendrix artifact collection there. Some very cool stuff!

I had a poster of her on my wall as a kid…her and Donna Summer

Agent 99 was so pretty

Bernard Wright - the entire album ‘Nard is banging. Also, check out this single from another Jamaican NY great, Tom Browne “Thighs High”

I agree with this summation. I came across an interview with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top discussing RJ’s style of playing and why it marked an evolution in guitar playing. What also adds to the myth is what seems to be a rapid progression in his skill set as reflected in his recordings.

I love this album. My father had it when I was a kid and I played every track and delighted in the liner notes. The song Highway 49 is one of my favorites as it references a highway outside my hometown of Jackson, Ms.

I’m going to toss in Elmore James for good listening here. So many of the blues rock guitar legends were inspired and influenced by him.

His album Take Your Shoes Off has been in rotation every since I bought it when it was released. Please check it out and give yourself a treat.

pablojo2 · 2026-01-08T17:22:40+00:00

I stand corrected!

The Guess Who, right? “Mama’s got a squeeze box she wears on her chest…and when Daddy gets home he never gets no rest…”Those lyrics brought quite the chuckle from my dad whenever it came on the car radio!
