Funky Video Friday: Hendrix Rocking

Happy Friday friends.  Today we’re going to start rocking what is going to be a new feature on GuitarBassMan…funky, awesome, rare and unique guitar videos every Friday morning.  Why not start your weekend off a little early with some rare glimpses into rock and roll past, present and future with some video proof of everything from hardcore shredding to tearjerking acoustic solos?

To start things off, I thought who better to start things off with than one of the best, of the best, of the best of all time, Jimi Hendrix?  This is obviously from a long, long time ago and is a pretty awesome, fun performance of Purple Haze and shows just how laid back Hendrix is when he’s playing.

Without further ado, enjoy Hendrix, enjoy Purple Haze and more than anything, enjoy your weekend.  Got any videos you are dying to see, or any videos you think we should all enjoy?  Leave us some comments, leave us an email, or send us some recommendations!

Interesting find!

That’s the most bare bones sound I’ve ever heard him use. The angles are also maybe the best ones I’ve seen on what positions he plays that tune in. Strange ending– probably a rehearsal take.

Did you catch the one I posted from 1965?

I did! Great find as well. I love old videos of him.
