[LordLoss66613]

[BuddyClontz]

@LordLoss66613 There was definitely a cable! It was plugged into my amp...not shown in the video. In fact, I played the Bass, Drums, ect. on the backing track as well.

[SuperSerjTricks]

@BuddyClontz I can see the cable.

[moopadoopolus]

Such a good cover! Thanks for sharing! Really cool posters on the wall behind you too!

[x403PureSkills]

nice cover keep up the good work!

[Forchitaa]

What are the three chords you play at 0:47 0:48 and 0:49?

[sakk3d]

looks like Yngwie strat :D

[BuddyClontz]

@sakk3d He plays some old Strats I am sure...but his have the scalloped fretboards.

[Thezeroaceflyz]

Were you using your thumb to play? I know Jimi Hendrix actually used to do that, I'm just wondering.

[BuddyClontz]

@Thezeroaceflyz Yes to a certain extent in this cover...but I do not use my thumb much when I normally play.

[bamba46]

where do i get the tabs for this song?

[BuddyClontz]

@bamba46 I don't know. I play by ear...and never use tabs.

[southernbiker77]

i have a squier black and chrome fat strat ;) is that a good guitar to play stuff like this?

[BuddyClontz]

@southernbiker77 Sure....

[southernbiker77]

your great bro ;D

[BuddyClontz]

@southernbiker77 Thanks!

[Forchitaa]

Very impressive

[BuddyClontz]

@Forchitaa Thanks!

[AznAlacran]

Great cover, I'm 14 and have been wanting to play guitar for a long time, but never got around to it. When did you/how long have you been playing for?

[AznAlacran]

Great cover, I'm 14 and have been wanting to play guitar for a long time, but never got around to it. When did you/how long have you been playing for?

[BuddyClontz]

@AznAlacran I started on drums around 1968-69...then I began to switch over to playing on guitar around 1978-79. Once in a while I still find the time to play...LOL

[AznAlacran]

@BuddyClontz What was your first guitar, or what guitar would you reccomend for a beginner?

[VICJR98]

Sir, that was right on!

[delantey]

great job

[BuddyClontz]

@delantey Thanks!

[MrDoMiniCanPrinCe881]

Nice :) how long have you been playing guitar ?

[braykedown]

Great Job! Everything was correct except literally the first two notes are( 6th string 6th fret) ( 4th String 8th Fret ) :) Amazing cover otherwise!

[BuddyClontz]

@braykedown Thanks!

[BillyMayish]

did you play the song within offical guitar tab?

[BuddyClontz]

@BillyMayish I've never used tab in my life. I play by ear only.

[BillyMayish]

@BuddyClontz that is awesome :D!!! i wanna download you ;)

[freaksnowboarder1]

awesome man!!!

[codwix1992]

You have to see my cover of this song :D

[NFPunch]

Great cover, I'm loving that t-shirt of yours. :)

[BuddyClontz]

@NFPunch Thanks! I believe this video was the one and only time I have ever worn that shirt...LOL

[Heinousness]

@BuddyClontz

you should wear it more bro haha

[254169391357]

this is the best cover i have ever seen. ur like 100% on beat! awesome bro

[254169391357]

really good man!!!!

[MusicizeOfficial]

thats awesome bro!! Its the same sound, like Jimi´s!

Cheers Mike

[BuddyClontz]

@MusicizeOfficial Thanks!

[BluesMannus]

This is a great cover. I also have some good Hendrix covers, check them out! Keep up the good work

[BuddyClontz]

@SerbianDukePwnage I learned to play this a long time ago...maybe 30 or so years ago. I play by ear and on this cover, I did all of the backing tracks(Drums, Bass, Guitar) as well on a multitrack recorder.

[physicalgrafiti12345]

this is probably the greatest hendrix cover ever, to compliment the greatest hendrix shirt ever

[MrPlanx]

Sorry, but you are playing like a robot. You need a lot more soul in the notes you are emphasizing.

[MysteriousAndrew]

A WE SO ME!

[nevermindik]

amazing cover !! :) keep it up :)

you could also check out mine , comment and rate :)

peace.

[MonkeyWildCat]

Buddy Clontz for President! amazing cover man!

[AxBattles]

This is great man! Use this video to battle other people! Send me a Challenge on AxBattles . com. My username is Hydromusix! Peace!

[DrivenSavage]

great job finally some one who play it correct how long have you been

[BuddyClontz]

@DrivenSavage Thanks! Drums since the late 1960's and guitars since the late 1970's.

[4FabBEATLES]

I like the original alot- but every time I hear it I think of the parody version titled ":Purple Hay" for some reason.

[bescinema]

Check out my cover of purple haze at bescinema youtube channel

[sdrob40]

Damn long hair!

[kevmilla]

wow! that was amazing. Your sound is exactly like hendrix. Do you have any amp settings or effects that you use that you could tell me?

[James22255]

love your fender!

[micktube64]

Buddy boy, you've done it again! And donning the Hendrix shirt for the occassion - inspired! You were certainly manhandling that song, I hope no guitars were harmed in the making of this video. Now 'scuse me while I subscribe to this guy.

[BuddyClontz]

@micktube64 Thanks!

[jeremycalles1995]

your a hippy

[jeremycalles1995]

your a hippy

[pkflare101]

This is amazing!

[iArianTV]

Now.. And try to play that shit upside down ;)

[Gmanstrat]

Nice Job !! complete with Jimmy shirt and peacesign print

[paulitoarriola]

Awesome dude, by the way cool shirt!!!!

[guitardude920]

he looks like Eric Clapton but he is good on guitar

[IGotASkiHat]

@guitardude920 ARE YOU SAYING ERIC CLAPTON ISN'T GOOD?!?!?!? HE'S ONE OF THE GODS OF GUITAR YOU FOOL!!!!!

[MetalManiac840]

why do everybody call you sir???

[BuddyClontz]

@MetalManiac840 Manners...I suppose.

[MetalManiac840]

@BuddyClontz ok sir

[ToniMattTony]

@MetalManiac840 I guess when you play as good as he does you should show him the respect. I am a 3rd degree black belt and my students call me Sensei as a show of respect. Some times in life when a person has been doing something all there life other people feel the need to address a persons dedication. I started training back in 1969 and I still teach till today. Like I said just showing some R E S P E C T.Tony

[fenderstringbender98]

Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Eric Clapton? Lol

[BuddyClontz]

@fenderstringbender98 Actually...Yes, but I really don't think I look or play like him(unfortunately).

[PsychedelicRedneck]

Well done, sir. But since 40 years i've never heard anyone do the Hendrix style 2-in-1 tone authentically. But you did a good job, keep it going, sir!

[BuddyClontz]

@PsychedelicRedneck The only person that had the Hendrix sound was Hendrix no doubt!

[PsychedelicRedneck]

@BuddyClontz He he he! Yeah! But you did it well, sir. Keep it going!

[chaseme2200]

Excellent Job =]

[CratZMedia]

Wauw, the guitar of my dreams! My ibanez cant do that shit, it doesnt sounds like it..

Your my example sir..

[SilverstoneZED]

Very cool, nice job! Does the shirt help you play better? :-)

[RAPinkerton]

very nicely done, sir.

[BuddyClontz]

@RAPinkerton Thanks!

[mikodood1]

Can you mimick ANY riff or solo by ear? if u can then u are a TRUE "guitar god" my friend.

[BuddyClontz]

@mikodood1 I can pretty much play anything that I can hear...which to me means I listen to the music and at the same time more or less visualize in my mind how it might have been played. Sometimes I get it right. Sometimes not. Usually it happens pretty quickly one way or another for me.

[michaeltavernaro]

@BuddyClontz damn well could you make one if you have time haha i can play it but its just not fully correct

[michaeltavernaro]

you have a tab for this

[BuddyClontz]

@michaeltavernaro No Tabs...I play by ear.

[Evansiop]

@BuddyClontz like me

[ateszartist]

scuse me while i kisset that guy :)

That was just awesome:))

[keithcibbbs]

@ateszartist dude its "scuse me while i kiss the sky" im pretty sure jimi wasnt gay lol

[hendrix7755]

@keithcibbbs ye anoo lol jimi hendrix said that in 1969 or guitar hero version

[PilotDoofy]

@hendrix7755 No. Sorry kid who plays guitar hero and thinks he knows music now, you don't.

[guitarfreak651]

@keithcibbbs actually Hendrix used to parody that lyric at some shows he would say "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" at the Monterey Pop Festival in '67 but at the Woodstock Concert in '69 it showed him point to the sky so that the crowd wouldn't get confused. One time he even said "Scuse me while I kiss this fly" lol

[ArmedPoverty]

@keithcibbbs He used to improvise with the kiss the guy thing during shows to mess with people haha

[msallehuddinsoeb]

@keithcibbbs If he gay lie Freddie I still like him as a musician...Coz he is the number #1 guitarist

[NileOfBlood6606]

dude the solo was sooo radd.

[JasonX716]

@BuddyClontz

Really u teach Science, then u could help me with my Physics and my Guitar playing =D

[BuddyClontz]

@JasonX716 True! :-)

[wajalama]

24 people wished that they could make a cover like this, but couldn't.

[StrongNote]

man you play the guitar really cool! and another thing your face is like eric clapton :D i like it! xD

[BuddyClontz]

@StrongNote Thanks!

[ilmanmuutajamuutilma]

there are never too many guitars :D still you are best guitarist in youtube.

[ilmanmuutajamuutilma]

DUDE ! HOW MANY GUITARS DO YOU HAVE???? YOU ARE PURE TALENTED :DD

[BuddyClontz]

@ilmanmuutajamuutilma I have a few... but not enough...LOL

[phreaker92]

@BuddyClontz i need your guitars! :D

[kirkpatrick321]

I wish I would have had a teacher this cool when I was in school!!!

[Floridaboy7777]

I played this for my skit when i ran for senior class president, i lost by only 6 votes. im pretty sure if you had played it for me i would have won :)

[BuddyClontz]

@Floridaboy7777 Thanks!, I should let my students read this...LOL

[Floridaboy7777]

@BuddyClontz please do! are you a guitar or school teacher???

[BuddyClontz]

@Floridaboy7777 Yes, I teach Chemistry, Physics, Physical Science, etc.

[pilotbutterfly]

what guitar and amp are you using?? :)

[BuddyClontz]

@pilotbutterfly A stock 1973 Fender Stratocaster and my Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4-10 amp.

[JL2996]

Did you learn this by ear, sheet music, tabs? Thanks. Fantastic cover

[BuddyClontz]

@JL2996 Thanks! I play by ear only.

[LeaveTheTVOn95]

Fantastic!

[zzzzzzzz594]

Mr. Clontz: At the introduction, isn´t it better to try in A sharp instead to evoid the rebound I hear?

[pedrocassiniguitar]

Hello Buddy! nice work man!

Keep Rockin!

Peace!

[pedrocassiniguitar]

Nice work buddy! You`re good man!

Could you whatch my version of Purple Haze and tell me if u like it?

[colemanthesoulman]

[LewisMusic09]

[LewisMusic09]

@LewisMusic09 i will make one aspecially for you when my recording studio is finished. i will even make a tutorial so you can learn how to play it.

[BuddyClontz]

@LewisMusic09 Sounds good to me. I'm adding 1700 square feet to my home at this moment to house my equipment and give me a space to learn, play, record, and do other things of interest in. I'm always up for improving my skills.

[TeejTV]

great cover, awful shirt.

[BuddyClontz]

@TeejTV That may be why I've only worn it once...which was during this video...LOL

[ColdCaseTwo]

[BuddyClontz]

@ColdCaseTwo Thanks! Search no longer...LOL!

[frodonet]

[hoovboy14]

[BuddyClontz]

@hoovboy14 Thanks!

[pointyguitarz]

Hi Buddy,

Great cover on a great axe! Also my favorite color on a Fender Strat with the big old CBS headstock! Blonde Strats are so cool! Nice job. :)

[BuddyClontz]

@pointyguitarz Thanks!

[TheBassHitman]

Wow...nice....a i want one of the marshall vintage plexi head....but 100W, i heard that it is too much loud for a band ...and you play it home .:-D....of course you have JCM 800, its a master volume ,so maybe its not so loud....

[Metalhead001122]

how much was that guitar?

[BuddyClontz]

@Metalhead001122 Not too expensive when I bought it back in the 1980's.

[Atreyufolife]

a gr8 cover ! with a nice GUITAR!!!

[Steviervfan]

Great job man, little tip, 0:09-0:13 was slightly wrong, it is:

d:------8--8--8

e:--6--6--6

all the best

Steviervfan

[jgoldston96]

the big headstocks on old strats are awesome...i wish mine had one of those on it



[SimmeringBroth]
