Purple Haze cover

[macchiavelli100]

please see my version of this song

[jakedubyew]

Nice job man< check out my cover. I use my teeth:)

[lilshortie117]

yesss you dnt play like a nigger its a bar chord:D

[ThePondDogs]

@lilshortie117 Hahahaha I don't quite know how to take that.

[RyanRoCkGuiTaRiSt94]

doing good man. You still have a lot to work on like emphasising your bends, slides and vibratos but you'll get there with practise. And one other thing, you're playing hendrix! Put some feeling into it man! Take care

[hipsterical]

pretty good , kid. but you still have to work

[Hertsman50]

I suspect you're playing it better than all the guys on here making negative noises.

[Guitarvampy1]

Good effort its really good but try not 2 act so stiff lol, do like they do on school of rock....LOOSY GOOSY lol

Y'know :P

Bob your knee up and down, rock viewers socks off :P then do another vid and you'll get a totally different response, the guitar playing was great though, liked it

[Django5198]

Very neat cover. The sliding isn't actually that important. Hendrix didn't slide too much on the original recording

[Strummify]

move a little more but good playing anyway

[GARYIZRAW]

put some SOUL in it man

[V1nc3nc0]

yeah put some feel in to it!!!

[runescapemoneymaker2]

@V1nc3nc0

Yo I totally agree you have to act like every time you play your in front of a crowd.

[thepro61]

it looks like you were forced to play it lol

[jaqua524]

@thepro61 concentration lol

[Racemark123]

dude you are playing like a robot put some feel in to it

[dandansade]

very cool man :-)

[darksteel199]

it lacks style

[hokiesfan20]

nice job, it would take me forever to play it that perfect.

[Ibanezcity]

ur playing the easy version of it.. no man no thats just not good im sorry

[saltystudios]

its not that you arent dancing or anything, its just that it seems too note for note. add a few extra bends, something like that. sounds good trust me.

[machinimaboyz]

put more feelin in it man, your playin hendrix!

[Fruscification]

Are you dead ???

WAKE UP DUMBASS more attittude

[Ziece4]

No need to get offensive about it. Seriously

[SlashMoore]

hey man great cover you're slids aren't the best but with some work they get better anyway did you make it by ear our went to some cause it's really good the solo the verse the chorus eveything is prety good except the slids but the rest is good great cover

[ThePondDogs]

no i had some tabs. thanks man

[weeowee365]

Yes, Doug, why are you so STIFF? You just LOVE playing on your GUITAR, don't you?

[ThePondDogs]

I was doin a fucking crazy dance in my mind

[weeowee365]

That's not good enough!

[ThePondDogs]

=( aww man

[MegaFenderdude]

@weeowee365 yes it is :)

[TimTheDimOne]

You are VERY stiff man loosen up man comon! ITS JIMMI not freaking eric jonston that guy plays like a freaking robot...

[o0mpah]

MORE FEEL! You have to go mental while playing this song!

[vindzhov]

you are too stiff

[Dialgagirl189]

dude, are you using a Fender Starcaster?cuz mine looks just like that...

[ThePondDogs]

Nah it's a Strat. They do look similar though

[ddmsk8ter37]

uhhhh dude there the same stat sratocaster

[ThePondDogs]

no STARcasters are different from stratocasters.

[fenderdario3]

[KAPICEK]

How long you been playing?

[ThePondDogs]

i think about three years. i had been playing two at the time of this video.

[KAPICEK]

awesome

[Sinmanson]

with professor ?

[ThePondDogs]

No, I don't take lessons. I take guitar in school, but the teacher just sits in his office while we goof off.

[donsantosh]

what did i tell u ... u lil shit ... so some passion ... damn it ... freaking ... i hope jimi doesn't get pissed off.....

[ThePondDogs]

if you are referring to what you said about my paranoid video, i cant go back in time and change the video after i post it, if i could i would, but this is how it will remain forever...

[fattboy123543]

those are the best to play..hit me up when you play them

[ThePondDogs]

sure thing

[fattboy123543]

this is really good..and do you kno any pink floyd

[ThePondDogs]

thanks, no not yet, i want to learn money and time though

[ElectricGuitarManiak]

another brick in the wall is a good 1 to learn or money

[YoMrSami]

This sucks, just like your mom, Doug.

[creinstein]

play a bit harder

[luciano3112]

nice video buddy, but there is just a thing that you could ger better, your hands are all right, but you ares still thinking too much in get everything perfect. Let your instinct talk louder =), anyway, you are very good, my congratulations

[qwertyui1500]

good boy =D

[ThePondDogs]

haha thanks!

[Kendognavy22]

Sounds good dog. Keep rockin!!!! Don't forget to stand and play.

[ThePondDogs]

thanks! haha i wont

[ThomasSheridan1993]

hey what guitar is that your using a fender squire ?

[ThePondDogs]

close, its a mexican strat

[ThomasSheridan1993]

ok does it sound the same as a fender squire when its amped up

[ThePondDogs]

i dont know, ive never played a squire plugged in. i do know it feels nicer to play than a squire.

[ThomasSheridan1993]

ok how much did u pay for it might get 1

[ThePondDogs]

i got mine on sale for about $400

[sk8erguy011]

you got your squire on sale for 400! mine was 200 and it came with the amp and everything

[ThePondDogs]

mines not a squire though

[deezznuttss]

its a song from Hendrix. you should try it, if you do, record it and let me know.

[ThePondDogs]

will do

[deezznuttss]

pretty good kid. now do Pali Gap?

[ThePondDogs]

thanks. no, who is that?

[volcanoskateteam]

you rule thats awsesome

[ThePondDogs]

thanks man

[CKDStudios]

[ThePondDogs]

[foryourmum]

[foryourmum]

sweet, tnaks for the reply :) im gunna subscribe aswell :P btw u look really young

[ThePondDogs]

[jbourne960606]

lol scott funny comment tht :o

[WillBW08]

i have the guitar nice 1 m8

[ThePondDogs]

theyre great arent they? thank you =D

[carlosdomingues81]

good cover 5*

[ThePondDogs]

thank you!

[StandardLespaul131]

i think it sounds better without distortion.. i just tried it today

[ThePondDogs]

the thing i like about purple haze is that its fun to mess around with

[ronnieatvalley]

u did very good on the solo but u need a nicer guitar tho to make sound even better

[ThePondDogs]

haha i cant afford a nicer guitar =D

[rx389]

do you use distortion when you play purple haze.

[ThePondDogs]

did i? or are you supposed to? the answer to both of those questions is yes, though i cant get the right kind of distortion with only my amp.

[NovemberTrain]

needs more gains

maybe get a distortion pedal?

BECAUSE MAN YOU GOT TALENT!

[ThePondDogs]

i do want a distortion pedal.

thank you =D

[Impper1]

Nice enough job, man, but this is a song you really need to wail on. Figure out what notes work and add some open strings and jam on those chords. Won't do for a studio version, but damn is it fun to play!

[ThePondDogs]

it sure is fun to play, ill try that =D

[750bpm]

You need emotion in your playing you looked like a zombie playing.

[LonesomeSuzie]

Great!

[ThePondDogs]

thank you =D

[18on9]

it sounds nice but i ahve a feeling that it is bit high but good job its pretty good

[ThePondDogs]

the tuning, or the tone? because my tone is nowhere near hendrix's =/

[18on9]

i think it would be the tuning then cause i have a feeling it is just a bit high i may be wrong...but still very nice

[18on9]

oh i mis read i couldn't tell u which it is but i have a feeling that it is the tuning might eb the tone tho

[ThePondDogs]

yeah, i think youre right

[C0NTRAVENE]

very nice cover, enjoy it, but i do agree that you could use more feeling, however its just a cover and you did a good job :)

[ThePondDogs]

thank you =D

[ThePondDogs]

thanks. i know what you mean, i need to use a bit more feeling. i did have fun playing, its just hard to tell =D

[Ethatetheman1]

smart1269 u are going to burn in hell for calling hendrix a noob.

[NirvanainVain]

you look like the bass player for jimi hendrix noel redding

[ThePondDogs]

haha i kinda see it

[InkedOutNailClippers]

you should consider posting a tutorial, i mean i can play the intro, but i suck at the chords,

[ThePondDogs]

im really bad at teaching, but when i get time ill give it a shot

[HIPSTER66189]

dude u good u need vocals....im here lol

[Smart269]

i like it better than jimi hendrix

your way better than that noob

[Zidane2941]

just go and die.

[TrixzTheRabbit]

Jimi hendrix is a guitar god and you dare talk down, he will come down in your sleep and smite you with his axe!!!

[lillazzo1900]

ke plettrata di merda XD

[sasuke9865]

pretty good

[ThePondDogs]

Thank you

[louzarv1]

[heavymetalman2]

[heavymetalman2]

[ThePondDogs]

Oh yeah! I'll do that =D

[franginos]

super petit gars,ca fait plaisir de te voir jouer du Hendrix,merçi encore.

[ThePondDogs]

merci =D

[toweringmatt]

Yeah man you did good you just got to put a little feeling into it. Try doing some bends in the solo.

[manjavo]

dude good but if u played with more feeling u would acutally be playing better.

dont just sit there like a mope

[1b2r3u4n5n6i7n8g]

i was gunna say the same thing. it makes it look and sound so much better for no explainable reason. but yeh gd playin

[rockerboiforrest]

Good job man nice cover but try to smile more,,,relax a bit more and let the music flow. :D

[ThePondDogs]

haha i know i know =D i think i was tired or something, im not usually that stoic looking

[bobafettischeckers]

goodjob Im guessing your like me I cant reach my thumb around to catch theroot my hands are to small =(

[ThePondDogs]

haha me too!

[mer0523]

how old r u?!?!? ur cute (:

[ThePondDogs]

16 haha thanks =D

[ItHappens117]

Hey, great job man! I can play everything but the solo, and it would be awesome if you told me where you learned to play the solo(s).

[ThePondDogs]

thanks! i learned it at ultimate-guitar(dot)com

[mer0523]

jeez how long did it take u 2 learn that??? imma beginner and i can play a couple scales and kingle bells lol (: ur REALLY good (: xD

[ThePondDogs]

haha thanks =D its hard to say, because i learned the intro pretty quick, and then realized i had no rhythm, so i quite trying to learn it, so when i got a passable amount of rhythm, i learn the chords and then the solo...so in short i have no clue. but its not that hard to learn and its really fun to play. good luck =D

[patoxtrim12]

good cover man but i need to mean

hendrix is a beast xD

keep playing!

you have future xD

[ThePondDogs]

haha thanks =D

[FabFourRules]

1st thing that came across my mind:

You play technically well but like a student.

Like other comments, try to give some feeling.

Keep on, that's good job !!

Cheers

Olivier

[ThePondDogs]

haha thank you =D

[MrHoggins]

it sounds really cool if you slide down from the first fret to the two riffs instead of staying in that 9 to 5 fret range

[ThePondDogs]

ill give that a try, thanks =D

[nesstor001]

you play great but its hendrix man give some attitude!!!!

[ThePondDogs]

haha i will next time =D

[mediaman2003]

[thecoolkid4ever]
