To quickly identify strats, look at the headstock. Fat heads with bullet truss rod cover are cbs's (70's), standard head with no truss rod cover (ie: body truss rod) are reissued 57/62's or artist series and standard head with a truss rod hole are post cbs - present (80s-now roughly). That's how I estimate em. After you have an idea of what they could be just narrow it down. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that stripe is on a Kenny Wayne Sheppard sig strat, but I'm not entirely sure. Hope that helps :P
Cool! It has a thicker neck right? I'm assuming you like srv also. Hendrix, SRV and Mayer have a lot of similarities. Did you check out the SRV sig guitar? I put his neck on my guitar and I love it! They label it as a thick oval while the Mayer is a thick C I believe. Not sure what the differences are. Maybe higher shoulders?
The solo that the dude played was actually mayers version of it, but put to the hendrix backing. In my opinion mayer shouldnt hav bothered covering it, it just pissed off hendrix fans, lol.
Lol, i know wish people would giv the guy a break, both versions are awesome in tehir own ways. If mayer could hear sum of the comments i recks he's be cowering in a cave ripping up hedrix photos, x) lol,
fussbent go choke on your father's cock for saying that. you obviously dont know anything about playing guitar, music, or anything at all for that matter. go fuck yourself
i second the motion. john mayer's version is good but could never beat the original. and to the guy who made the video: great job! and that is a beastly strat
P.S.- I'd like to hear a cover of Lenny, or SRV Little Wing, Or perhaps the intro to City Love from the Crossroads guitar festival... You know the one. Or, if you know any Jeff Buckley, like his cover of Strange Fruit. A lot of suggestions, I know, but it's "what the people wanna hear." My birthday's tomorrow, so start practicing...
I've heard other accurate renditions of this solo, but this one is the cleanest, and it looks effortless! You are obviously very talented. Can I have a copy of the tabs or can you point me in the right direction, please? Share the art.
Best cover D;

You play well but...
john mayer sucks, why don't you guys realize it ?
his cover of bold as love is horrible compared to the original.
hendrix's solo is 10 times better, this is just noise.

I've been trying to do that a lot lately.
How do you go about figuring out a solo though, do you stick close to a pentatonic scale in the same key - or do you literally just "find the notes"..
Any input - GREATLY appreciated.
