That first sentence is beyond awful. Interesting article, though.

That’s a hoax if I ever heard one. Any Hendrix connoisseur will tell you that’s not his tone or playing style. Nice try!

no. no. no. please i have a tape deck and DigiTech Hendrix pedal too. Oh did you know i have a Recording of Hendrix playing the Canadian Anthem, Hockey Night in Canada. It happened in 1968 when he went back to Vancouver to visit his Grandma.

doesn’t really sound like Hendrix…I bet this is not authentic

The whammy vibrato sounds nothing like Jimi’s… I doubt it’s real.
Nice opening sentence Goodman.

fuck this tape. no hendrix here. tone and style alone make the case that it’s not him at all.

doesn;t sound like Jimi to me either. but he wasn;t a happy man in his final days looking for inspiration. maybe a new take on tremelo. not likely

we’ll never know… or will we?

this is a big joke

Jimi who?

Good licks,but it sounds recent and mysterious(regarding if it’s Hendrix or not).Take it to court,that’s all I say.

I have a tape of Hendrix on guitar, Lennon on vocals, Lemmy on bass and Jesus on drums doing the Finnish national anthem…..must be worth a few bucks I reckon!!

the thought alone is disgusting.his style is totally different,and i won’t even mention the tone…come on,people,don’t do this to the legend,please…

Region? Wales is a nation with a history that goes back about 8 centuries further than you f**king yank arrivistes

You know what, I’m sure Jimi has a very good laught about all this. I never heard the welsh anthem before !! Ask his adopted sister Janie Hendrix what she really thinks and let’s wait an official press release !!!!! Why do we listen this “title” easily and not the discovered new one “Station Break” sold last october ??? I’m so happy everybody talk about Jimi anyway. Stay groovy and best wishes from France !

jimi will have his vengeance on elizabeth goodman

I think Elizabeth Goodman learned her grammer from a book out of that same chest.

I used to stick up for Elizabeth, but this one was so lame I told myself, “Yep, this has to be Elizabeth.” And I scrolled down, and it was.

By the way, Skyline, you do not help the Elizabeth-haters’ case when you write the word “grammer.” Retard.

Nope, definitely not Hendrix, sounds more like Gary Hoey.

Doesnt really sound like him sounds like a rip off>..

The technique sounds a lot a like Hendrix’s but the tone is way off. Not him!

all of you need jesus “so i”m praying for u

Was Robin Trower ever in Wales?

Hendrix embellished virtually everything he played with slides, trills and double stops – classic rock’n'roll playing, EVEN when abusing the whammy bar. That’s why its not him, the fretting hand is doing very little for most of it.

That is definately NOT Jimi. I am a guitar player, have been playing 20 years. The biggest reason I say it’s fake is the absolute crappy imitation, terribly excessive whammy bar usage in a way he never did, no classic dive-down-fly-ups, bends, vibrato, plus this recording lacks of any his own accents and is an abuse of the whammy-bar. If you listen to the US Anthem played at Woodstock, you will hear his techniques for the whammy. If you listen to ANY of his solos on any live or not live recording, then you will hear a big difference in the style.
#2 is the complete perfection of the distortion and also the recording, which both were IMPOSSIBLE in the 60’s,70’s and even some of the 80’s. The sound of the guitar you hear is an effect out now. Jimi used Marshall’s natural tendency to distort at high volume to get his sound, not an electronic effect, which is what you hear on this bad solo. Listen to ANY band who used distortion from before the 80’s and you will not find ANY similar effect. It’s opposite. The distortion from those days amps sounds completely different. Classic Tube-amp distortion, but Jimi had no “gain” knob, only volume and tone on his Marshalls, which he CRANKED on 10 to achieve natural distortion.
#3 I know it was impossible for him to make a recording this perfect (not talking of the playing..)back them, as they just put a microphone in front of thespeaker, there was no “line-out-line-in” jacks to record with. the whole band would play together and record it all at once live (which I prefer,) where as today it is done in ‘tracks’ drums,then bass, then guitar#1, #2, then Vocal #1, etc…
NOT JIMI HENDRIX…SORRY FOLKS

Boston

If thats Jimi Hendrix then I’m Jimmy Page… pssst… I was in Las Vegas a few months ago when I ran into Elvis.., and he told me that he sang backup on the B-side of a secretly recorded version of The Who’s first LP, and that I could find it in a secret chest buried in Mick Jager’s backyard. Golly-gee this is exciting, everyone grab their picks and shovels.

P.S. I hate you people.

you bastard!

It’s obviously TICH GWYLYM

“ooo!! it IS authentic! for the tape I will offer you ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!” (sticks pinky in mouth)

JIMI HENDRIX RULES!

Uh, no.

Hey guys, its me Jimi…..me and Jim Morrison have been bouncing between Buenos Aires and Moscow for the last almost four decades. That’s me, it was a private recording I made for a druid princcess. It sounds new because it is, I recorded it last week for our 35 year anniversary of our cosmic unction. Peace.

welsh NATIONAL anthem makes wales a nation not a region. tom jones, catherine zeta jones. its generally full of people called jones. oh and anthony hopkins.

Sounds like Steve Vai wannabe to me, NOT Hendrix… at all…

Hendrix would probably have had a hard time playing this anthem through due to lack of familiarity, which would surely resulted in much more sound effect experimentation to fill in the gaps.

BS hoax

NOT JIMI HENDRIX!! it’s not even a decent imitation either…

I do not believe it is Jimi. Upon listening to the piece, the guitarist’s equipment sounds to new. Also, I agree with others in this post that that is not Jimi’s playing style to a T. It is someone who has studied Jimi. However, I feel it is an imposter.

Before he sadly died in a fire last year Tich Gwilym has been playing this anthem for the last 25 years. It’s obviously him, so what is the fuss.

I agree with Ziggy except it sounds more like someone doing Satriani doing Hendrix. I’m 58 years old and have been listening to Hendrix since 1967. This is not Hendrix. If this is proven to be Hendrix I will hang up my guitar for life and burn my collection of some 75 Hendrix albums. Well I won’t go that far, but I would never believe it.

Hmm……..nice try! But we are kidding right? I agree with many of the ealier posts. Someone who copied someone who once took a shit in the same stall as Jimi! This is NOT even close………..

Did you ever hear Frank Marino from Mahogony Rush playing the Star Spangled ? You should ! Go on youtube.com and search for:
Frank Marino’s Star Spangled Mahogany Rush and tell me if you recognize the sound !

This isn’t hendrix; the effects are far too modern for his time. I was fortunately around in 67 and saw him play on many occasions in england.

It makes me want to vomit… and I’m looking for someone to choke on it…

There is no way that’s Hendrix. The effects are overused and too technologically up to date sounding for allegedly be recorded in 1967.
There are already thousands of Hendrix recordings on the market why have this obvious rip off out there? The answer is clear…Somebody smells money
Let the poor guy rest already…

any true fan would know, it aint hendrix or tich gwilym(welsh rock legend)see toutube.hope this blag comes to ligth some day.having heard it many times, think its a cheap imitation/peace out!
