its difficult to take a jimi hendrix tune and make it sound good in your own way, your one of the many people who have failed in trying to do so...i dont care wat any of you say this is piss poor and the only good hendrix cover ive ever heard is john frusciante's castles made of sand, and that is still criticised now and again...
I know! I was skating in the food lion parking lot the other day and i saw some lady who looked like a shaved pete townshend so i walked up and told her
What a bunch of idiots here. There is no problem with taking a jimi song and making it your own, and thats what he did here. He gave it a funky vibe. He wansn't playing the damn thing note for note, and anyone who sat up here criticizing him should have known better in the first place.
I'd just like to say you all are being buttholes. Learn to appreciate what kinds of music everyone creates, and dont antagonize other people for liking it. This kids pretty good, I enjoyed it and hope to see more of your stuff.
its a hard song to get, you just have to feel it and it comes though, and if you used a tab for it try finding a better one - not bad though dont listen to the penises that cant realise that you're not actually jimi hendrix
Harsh comments people. Give this guy some credit. He looks young...And besides, he's probably better than half of the people saying negative shit on here....haters...all haters
You won't make me change my mind about Hendrix or his music.
Hendrix's music made no cense. He was a drug addict and alcoholic with a guitar.
I appreciate that he opened new doors to music, but I still find his music awful. He is treated/remembered as a god, when his playing is not even as close millions of guitar players in this world.
fine..this guy is no representative of hendrix...but...people with MUCH more technichal skill such ass Vai,Satriani,Ian Moore,chris crnell,ERIC JOHNSON,ERIC CLAPTON,miles davis...say for themselves...that they can NEVER touch Henrix's expresiveness and spirit to instrument translation...no matter how much technically proficiant they are...so...yur perfectly acceptable yet minute and unbacked opinion may count...
They say he is a big influence in their playing because of what he created, that doesn't mean he was a good guitar player. Read it again: guitar player. So you're reply has no sense with what I said. He created a whole new idea/style in music. What I do not like of him is his playing. (And I really, really can't get into his music. Trust me, I've tried.)
nowhere can yu find that any of the above guys didn't think he was a good guitar player....they ALL say he had perfect command of the guitar,both in it's sounds and expression throgh notes..i think that means he was a good guitar player..no?.they know he didn't have scale knowledge or he couldn't play perfect clean 32nd notes in aeolian up and down the fretboard..but they also know that that is not what makes a guitar player good and legendary...
I don't like HOW HE PLAYS. Eric Claptons version of Cocaine is like 10000000000 million times better. The songs are good, just need to be played by proper players. That means: I like what he plays, not how he plays. So when played by him, they . . sound bad.
I respect your opinion Daniel, seeing Jimi hendrix 14 times... i would like to educate you. You see he really did something way ahead of his time which made him special and unique. People loved him so much because of his talent, aroma, and personality. He really put his soul into his stuff and he does have talent he could play with his teeth so please dont say that.
what the fuck!? thats NOT how the songs goes AT ALL.
since where are there cords? its song of notes, its not fast and it as variations in tone...shit man its insulting to see a guitarist "just play" hendrix.
the whole song is chords just so you know, hendrix always is playing chords and then he solos inside the chords. Your form the chord and then do the soloish stuff in between, much easy. It's best you do that, don't just go all over the place with oyur fingers.
No offence, man - but the track is a gentle, delicate piece. It's not a flog extravaganza: take some time and learn the delicate partial chords and runs during the verses.
This rocks man. nothing wrong with it in my opinion. I like what slashgecko said. get this kid on acid and give him a crowd of 10,00 and he'll be the next thing!
Disguising your playing with distortion. It does seem to lack quality and timing even still. Oh well. Not superly bad, but like someone else said, very sloppy. Timing, tone etc are all important and you just seem to have missed that :(
For all the people saying he didnt play this right, he is. Your all just ignorant and lack the thought that Hendrix dubbed other guitars in the song, plus he is using a clean tone, thus it wont sound the same. Fucking idiots. You are playing it right, and keep on'a playin boy, your pretty good. If you can play that do me a cover of Little Wing....
really really.. hendrix not only burrowed from alot of peoples styles at the time, he covered a bunch of their songs as well(all along the watchtower, sunshine of your love, etc..) and he was said to have been ahead of his time. are u saying hendrix was a follower??? really really, only an idiot would put down this guys performance.. good job.
Yo genocommand, go screw yourself. My buddy Mike is talented, that's why he's improvising on the song, and I think he's doing a good job. That's why I uploaded it. And even if it were bad, it's a pretty messed up thing to surf around youtube just insulting people you don't know. It's all about respect man.
