[annabatarowicz]

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@annabatarowicz

I'm very glad to hear you ended up liking it. That is very much appreciated. TY.

[chuckbyf1]

I don't know about having Jimi down, but he's got his own unique take on the song. Very enjoyable to listen to!

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@chuckbyf1

Thank you for taking the time to watch & comment. Peace!

[SantanaOverrated]

Great tone and Hendrix vibe. You've must have listened "Hedrix In The West"... a MILLION TIMES!

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@SantanaOverrated

I think I've heard him say he listened to it over a million times, lol. Thanks for commenting

Peace!

[amsedelm]

Damn dude! You got Jimi DOWN! Right down to the mix. It sounds like a live Hendrix recording. BRAVO!

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@amsedelm

Thanks for the very cool remark.

Peace!

[CarlosSentinelMusic1]

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@CarlosSentinelMusic1

Thank you once again, Carlos. I appreciate that you came by to listen.

[SpaceGuitar69]

Enjoying here:) Smooth......

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@SpaceGuitar69

Thank you for another great comment, Marko.

[theactor19]

Hands down, the best hendrix cover of red house yet! I went to the hendrix tribute concert this year and none of those artists even compared to this version of red house. Imo, I think he even plays it better than randy hansen

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@theactor19

Very cool of you to go out of your way to say that. That has to be one of the more positive comments for Steve's ability. although he's a big Hansen fan, I'm sure he'll dig hearing that.

Peace & Good Vibes!

[theactor19]

@MajesticSuperiorHen Np. I also wanna add his tone is probably closest to hendrix's live shows as well. I would love to know more about his gear. From watching I can see a big headstock strat.. maybe a vintage strat, hard to stay for sure.. and in the background, looks like a plexi half stack? I gotta know what fuzz he's using. Any info would be incredible!

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@theactor19

I've had these questions before, so I have most of my answers, sort of ready.

The guitar is mostly stock, 1975 American made Stratocaster, except it was re-fretted with jumbo frets and it has Sperzel tuning gears. Steve has said most of his tone comes from his 1969 100 watt Plexi Marshall, which is set up with a very clean sound (no distortion) and his particular way of EQing the amp. For the rest of his equipment, just click on my name and go to the bottom of my channel page.

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@MajesticSuperiorHen,@theactor­19

It's your guess on which Fuzz or distortion was used. He says, although the Roger Mayer fuzzes do sound a little different from each other, they also sounded similar too, so they were exchanged often. When playing in clubs where volume is a kept low, he will combine a couple of pedals to get more sustain, when natural feedback won't kick in. The pedal missing from the pictures, but used in some of these recordings, an old Tycobrahe Octavia.

Thanks.

[habadej2]

it not Jimi, but some very good techniques.

A mentally ill maxtaylor1410 said: 'this is a great version on guitar, now just get rid of that jabba the hutt playin drums and it will be perfect'

That's a really, REALLY 'intelligent' comment. I say the (fantastic) drummer stays and jabba the blabba mouth (you!) leave. Yeah, that'll be 'perfect.'

What a jerk...

Electrix

[maxtaylor1410]

this is a great version on guitar, now just get rid of that jabba the hutt playin drums and it will be perfect

[InterlochenFan]

This has elements of New York Pop and San Diego, Jimi's best two live versions that have survived, in my humble opinion.......great job!!!!

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@InterlochenFan

I know San Diego is right, but I don't remember him mentioning New York Pop. I know some are his own licks. I'm sure he told me, but I can't remember the other Hendrix version he grabbed licks from.

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@MajesticSuperiorHen

Ah.... Ottawa, Canada, 1968

[bimwopbarn]

Great tone and vibrato

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@bimwopbarn

Thanks a lot for taking the time to both watch and say that.

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@magic98750

Geez, you can download the entire video right here. There's a little button under the screen that has this strange word called "DOWNLOAD"

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@MajesticSuperiorHen

Well, I think you need to use the Firefox browser and a special YouTube downloading app., to get the option.

[electrixladyland69]

@MajesticSuperiorHen If you have RealPlayer installed you can download any YouTube video. Just point your mouse's cursor over the video screen and a rectangular Download This Video button appear in the upper right, just above the video window.

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

@electrixladyland69

Thanks, but I already have Firefox with the YouTube download add-on. I actually thought everyone had the download option, but only found out to the contrary, just a couple of days ago. But I thank you for trying to set me straight, anyway.

[Harry122100]

[henny66306]

You guys are doing very well doing this tune in your own beautiful way....are you aware you still could do this slower ?

Very nicely done and great tone too...really close to Jimi's "Hendrix in the West" version.

Peace & Love from Netherlands...

Henny

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Fantastic, Henny. That's a really cool thing to say.

Peace & Good Vibes to you.

[donnaaustin]

VERY NICE INDEED

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thanks.  Great comment coming from such a blazing guitarist as yourself.

Peace to you

[TheTruthIsWayOutHERE]

All right! This might be the best version of Red House I've heard, that isn't a version by Jimi Hendrix himself

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Very cool comment.  Much appreciated

Peace to you

[HToothJackass]

That is one kick ass version of Red House

5 *****

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thanks for watching & rating.

Peace

[codehendrix]

to play blues.... you need fingers... touch as shit.... you got to squeeze the shit of the neck..... this lack a little feel....

[electrixladyland69]

codehendrix sez:

this lack a little feel....

I sez: nonsense. I heard your version of Red House and both of Steve's versions top yours.

Nothing personal.

Electrix

[codehendrix]

the sound on mine... because of the mic... was shit.... imm not saying im the best....... or that i am better even..... the drummer is fucking it up too.....

[MrUndertaker9]

jimi would be proud of this,you guys nailed it.congrats

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thanks for the nice words. They always help.

Peace!

[MrCaribbean]

this band is tight!!!!., when i heard the intro from, i had to pick up my guitar. Lord have mercy, you guys gave this song what it deserved, heart and pure soul. thanks for sharing your beautiful version with the world. Wish i was there to jam with you on this one, sweet voice too, with souflful chops! 5PLUS PLUS PLUS STARS

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

That's a super nice comment.that I know is much appreciated. Thanks, big time.

Peace!

[kingbucky6]

Sounds Awsome

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thanks so much. I Appreciate that you both watched & commented

[6K6R]

Sounds great 5*****

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

A nice compliment from a great musician.

I very much appreciate it and I know Steve likes good comments from musicians, the most.

[jjmc60]

Its a good job the mike cut out - the applause would have blown my speakers! Wish I'd been there. Fabulous.

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thanks again, Jules. I must be sleeping at the helm, to not have answered this already. I appreciate all your comments.

[PurplePath]

Great playing and singing!

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thanks for the great comment. I appreciate that you came by and watched

[FreakyFlagFlyingFock]

Yes Yes YES!!!!!

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

3 Yes's sounds very positive.

Thanks a lot, FFFF

[stratocasterbob]

Jimi's magic dust sprinkled about here!

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Alright Bob. Thanks, I sure appreciate it.

[GuitarGuy5000000000]

Amazing Red House! Check out us doing Hendrix if you like.

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Gr8 comment. Thanks for watching and commenting. I will check you guys out.

[H3rman123]

Really nice cover, good feel and good singing, but you need more than a ½ stack Marshall (or what it is you use) and to crank that baby up... Looking forward to more uploads...

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thanks for the cool comments. Steve uses a 100 watt 1/2 Stack. But he hardly gets the chance to really crank it up very often. He says he'd really need 2 or 3 stacks to get the sound right. That's too much volume for most of these clubs.

[H3rman123]

Two stacks are enough to get some nice feedback going. In any case, stop by my little Hendrix beacon and check out my Red House playlist, I bet you can pick up on something there to add to your own version as a variety. Peace...

[jimicolors]

Good vibes over here... simply great!

Thank you

Peace to you

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thank you. It's always great to read the positive comments you leave.

Peace & Good vibes to you.

[pnbibbins]

[SpaceGuitar69]

Absolutely fantastic SW&EXP 5/5!!

And the space bonus stars *****!!!

Incredible group superb!!

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Wow. Thank you Marko.

You've done it for me again. Thanks for sending this out to others and for speaking highly about Steve and EXP

Oh yeah, and thanks for the space bonus stars too!!!!

[electrixladyland69]

Wow...what more can I say? Steve Webb & EXP leave me awestruck much the same way whenever I hear a great Hendrix performance.

Steve's not your average (or even above average) guitarist trying to play one of Jimi's tunes. Those guys sound artificial; Steve does not.

Jimi's songs as interpreted by Steve in his inimitable Hendrixian fashion is fresh & awe-inspiring; the Hendrixian spirit flowing from his heart straight to his fingers. His Strat's tone is Jimi to the core.

Electrix

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Fantastic comment. I'm not sure how to respond except to say I'm sure Steve really appreciates this type of comment over the typical response.

It's too bad you don't work for one of the guitar magazines.  lol. Thanks again, Electrix.

[heavymetalrulz123]

Great! Maybe the best cover of a Jimi Hendrix song.

[jjmc60]

Been waiting for this ages!!!!

Steve Webb & EXP way out West. Electrifying. 5*

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Thank you, Jules. As usual, a very nice statement, which I always appreciate.

[carpybv]

Great stuff as always Steve! Which version of Red House did you base this performance on?

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Nice comment. Steve said it's loosely structured, similarly to Jimi's San Diego version, with a couple of licks from San Diego and a lick or two from Jimi's Ottawa, Canada 68, and the rest is mostly improvised, as Steve says, to try to sound like Jimi as much as possible, even though it's impossible.

[carpybv]

Hah, cool reply - i appreciate it! It's great to be amongst fellow hendrix nerds on here! cheers!
