Mercy, Mercy (Early Hendrix- Have Mercy)

[tonysalsa100]

hendrix lives in you man!! nicely done big up to you great playing

[clarkewi]

Really well done. But needs to be played faster with a more driving beat and rawer louder to sound like Jimi. He really attacks those strings.

[scatboy987g]

same guitar from woodstock that jimi hendrix played with lol but great

@scatboy987g

.....yes nearly the same--but thanks!!

[guitargal17]

[kurliwurx]

yea. that's got it

[parigod]

You should do lessons on Hendrix's early work, it really shows some of his creativity blossoming.

[aLinuxTV]

ya and ur hands look jus like jimi's too. Nice rhythm and fills.

[southerngentleman75]

nicely done :P

[PK441041]

Thanks!

[PK441041]

Thanks! ☺

[opticage]

Keep up the great work! Finally someone who gets where Hendrix was coming from and wants to go there too!

[PK441041]

Thanks a lot!

[opticage]

Many people don't know that Jimi was one hell of a bitchin' R&B rhythm player...shaped his guitar playing in a big way. That work he did on Don Covay's Mercy Mercy was brilliant. When you listen close, there is a lot going on there..that little bell like tone he gets, rakes and those groovy little slides in and out of chords. Nothing else quite like it.

[pichnoufblues]

Very nice play dude! I get the stuff, but I don't manage the thumb thing yet. Are you lefty?

Très chouette jeu mec! J'ai choppé le truc, mais je bloque sur le passage du pouce. T'es gaucher?

Have a lot of fun!

[tommywales]

[jimicolors]

Peace to you

[PK441041]

Thanks Enrique. Glad you like it!

[GabeCastle]

Excellent playing

[MarcBrewer]

Great Playing! - It's so nice to hear the guitar on this song clearly. As far as I know there are 2 live Hendrix recordings of this great song. One at the Flamingo Club (U.K.) which is complete, but poor quality. There is one from Sweden, better quality, but it cuts out early.

[amatyleonv]

Awesome playing!

Hurray for strat rockers!

What kind of pickups doy our have?

I wish there was a tab for this :(

[amatyleonv]

Hurray for Strat rockers!

I playing is awesome.

How in the world do you remember that Hendrix Tune?

You should tab it...lol

[PK441041]

I think, it was the first tune with Hendrix on guitar, I heard, and Covay was singing, or someone else. I lost the take many years ago- it was a live-take!, so I played this from my memory...

[amatyleonv]

Well I'm subscribed cause your playing is awesome. Keep up the good work and keep crankin out the tunes!

You should put "Castles Made of Sand" on here!

[almanacofsleep]

Jimi was on the origional Don Covay recording as a session guitar player (this was before he was famous).

[VinylRecords60]

That;s DON COVAY! Jimi played guitar on this soul classic!

[sbarr10]

Cool!

[PK441041]

Yeah! Volltreffer! Danke!

[GuitarEd48]

auch sehr schön :)

[PK441041]

Hatte mal eine Aufnahme mit Hendrix an der Gitarre (da bin ich mir ziemlich sicher), kann sie dummerweise nicht mehr finden. Hab auch bei youtube nichts gefunden. Schade.

[PK441041]

Thank you for your interest. Sorry, no tabs or notes.

The tune is not complete. I had a recording (with Hendrix on guitar?) some years ago, but I lost it.

I wish, somebody would know more about this tune.

[Pigeon55]

The Jimi Hendrix version was recorded at the 'Flamingo club' in London 4th february 1967,and is available on cd of the same name

[PK441041]

I hoped s.o. knows more and right, there exists a Hendrix version, I knew it. Will try to find it. Thank you!!

[chaset4]

Jimi was 19 playing on Mercy,Mercy By Don Covay. I didn't see anyone else mention Don so I thought I would.

[PK441041]

Thanks for mentioning Don Covay- of cause he wrote the song- but I was looking for an early Hendrix appearance and an early demonstration of his special kind of playing guitar. Do you know a recording of this tune with Jimi and Don (live) on CD?

[888899991]

this is nice man. mellow tune. played well. tabs?
