Such a humble, modest guy Jimi was. All new generations should come and see this interview!

Not only greatest guitarist but easily the coolest cat too.

Thanks for sharing this interview with us Mr. Cavett!

Jimi get’s pinned as a “naturally talented artist” which is partially true, but what a lot of people dont understand is how exceptionally hard he worked and how much he practiced day and night. Dude was a perfectionist and a sensitive artist

[jojober]

It was beautiful jimmy's version of our national antham

[reversefulfillment]

I love that little freakout he did for Dick, being unconventional. 02:56

JAMES MARSHALL "JIMI" HENDRIX (November 27th, 1942 - September 18th, 1970) was one of the greatest guitarist. He electrified the Blues idiom, PERIOD!!!

[marciamatteini]

Jimi was the best guitar player ever ✝️❤️

[masteryoda]

In spite of his immense success as arguably the greatest rock guitarist of all time, The Late Jimi Hendrix was such a down to Earth, humble and chill guy.

R.I.P.

jimi was taken out. they saw him, and many others like him uniting All peoples. it is a high price to pay, but it is a reason to be a warrior for unity, thus the heroes fall and their message forgotten. love to all peoples, robert in italy.

No interviewer today has the skills of dick cavett or others of that generation! Wow, such interaction....

[pbabiesinspace]

Did he end it saying by the time he gets married he'll be obsolete? He never got married...but he never became obsolete. Even in the modern age, my 7 year old kid knows who he is. I was tinkering around on the old 6 string and played Foxy and he was like that's the Jimmy guy who plays with his teeths!

[keefriff]

Hard to believe he’s only in his mid 20s here…he really does look exhausted.

[Jack-vyuo]

Such a mellow cat Zappa told me he played too loud in a club in NYC.!

when bobDylan composed folk song 'All Along the Watchtower' he had no idea what song would Jimi's very best piece.... lyrics complemented guitar complimented lyrics .... differnt styles converged to make no equal ....thanks4sharing
