I've listened to the recording five times now and the final bars sounded as authenticate as anything I've ever heard.

I'm a big Jimi fan but i seriously doubt this was played by Hendrix. Emotionally it didn't have any of his feel, timing, or sheer class... In fact, it didn't touch me at all.. something which all his previous recordings have.

I agree 100% with James Hartley.

That is never Jimi Hendrix.

In addition to James's comments about "feel, timing, or sheer class", I would add tone, vibrato, and the feeling of managed chaos. :-)

I have been a Hendrix fan since 1968, and have played guitar since 1973. This recording sounds like Hendrix only because an overdriven Marshall amp and a reverb/echo unit is used, similar to the Hendrix Woodstock setup. Some simple tremolo bar use, feedback level amp, and also a few added filagree notes "reminds one" of Hendrix, but truly it does not display his incredible sense of timing or extra notes or tricks he could invent on the spot, in a very musically satisfying way. I have often told people that it is worth learning to play guitar, just so that you could appreciate Hendrix all that much more. Really, any decent guitarist, with the above mentioned guitar rig, could turn nearly any tune into a Hendrix sound alike...but only sound alike, not played alike.

Come off it! I've been a Hendrix fan for the last decade and only played guitar for five years, but there is no real chance that's Hendrix. While it has a similar sound (which can be achieved by just adjusting your pedals and amp settings), it lacks the innovation and improvisation I would have expected from Jimi Hendrix. To be honest, that's as likely to be Jimi Hendrix as it is anybody who can use an amp properly, in my opinion at least.

Tich Gwilym used to do this at the end of every gig, and he sounded a lot more like Hendrix than this!

Tich Gwilym's version is spine-tinglingly breathtaking, and this version doesn't sound at all like it.

As for Hendrix, I would be inclined to agree with those above who know his work better than me. It's not him.

And I agree with John Aldridge above, it could be anybody. There must be hundreds of lead guitarists who finish a gig with the anthem up and down Wales, and any of them could have recorded it.

sadly not in my opinion. I agree with the previous posts. I've heard studio recordings of him doing a warm before a new years gig he plays auld lang syne into possibly Danny boy and then possibly God save the queen. Awesome just playing with the guitar and sound set up. This is just too note perfect to the original for it to be Jimi.
but there are more gems out there to be found

I'am saddened to hear what happened to Tich, and praise to Newsnight for playing out with Tich performing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau in front of the nation, it was a touching tribute to him, especially as I recall seeing him at the Royal Oak in Cardiff in the early 90's. Can I get a commercial release of this along with other Tich stuff?

deepinder cheema - Tich Gwilym's version is on the "Welsh Rare Beats" CD, compiled by Gruff Rhys.

As a Hendrix fan, non-Welshman and amateur guitarist of 25 years standing, I don't believe it's Jimi. In fact - no disrespect to the other names mentioned if one of them *was* responsible - I could do a better job myself, given a few listens to the original tune. The vibrato arm technique is lousy, the tone is nowhere near classic Hendrix and I'm not tempted to listen to it again. Sorry!

This isn't Hendrix, if you listen closely to the tone of the guitar is sounds very, very modern when compared to his version of Star Spangled Banner. I have a sneaking suspision that this song was played using some kind of digitial setup, perhaps a Line 6 amp.

If Chapman thought this 'sounded exactly like Hendrix' -
his ear for music has to be called into question.

Just listen to anything by Hendrix and compare - there IS no comparison.
This version is embarrassing rubbish.
You don't even have to be a life-long fan to spot the difference. It's that obvious.

This gives me a terrible feeling of deja vu.Didn't somebody once claim to have found vintage John Lennon recordings in a basement in Liverpool sometime in the early eighties? I think we can reasonably assume this comes out of the same stable.

I agree with the majority but give it a month after St David's Day and the truth will be revealed, I'm sure.

I saw Tich a few times around the circuit in the early 80@s and I particularly remember him playing Hen Wlad fy'nhadau in his inimitable style as a final encore at the Top Rank in Cardiff the night before a rugby international in 1982.
