Little Wing Jimi Hendrix LIVE (cover) - Tristan Bower

[prg106]

Amazing job! Especially for a live performance.

[tyzer32]

sickkk cover bro

[ilinaeternity]

C'mon guys he's damn good and it's pretty nerverecking to be up on a stage. Mistakes happen.

[TheStephanie362]

its almost as if u cant complete ur bluesy thoughts and thats screwing up ure timing

[extremersfreak]

its hard to tell if he used tabs or actually played with his own improved shtuff... hmmmmmm

[tristanbower]

@extremersfreak It's my own improvised stuff. I hate tabs. The basis I learned by ear listening to SRV's instrumental and then just added stuff of my own expression when there are those looser sections of the song.

[RockAddict311]

You're definitely a better guitarist than me, but the timing is off without a question. Play with the band, don't compete! :p Are you improvising?

[tristanbower]

@RockAddict311 haha thank you. Yes, I am improvising.

[alexfreeman23]

this is srv's version

[danielmiranda18]

Toca ate direitinho mais ta faltando muito filing.... Não tem filling nenhum...sabe colocar as notas,ser rápido, sabe escalas mais se não tem filling ~´e o mesmo que nada!!!!

[AbsoluteZeroMusic]

Bands likes Zeppelin, Floyd, Doors, Hendrix give you chills? Are you physically attracted to music? I AM!

[Mahym]

Well... Except for the quality sound of the video, I loved it.

[RustySpoonTheBand]

This is more likely SRV's version

[redhatlook]

that must be fun, you are playing, they scream, and you think wow i am good, but then you can make easier the mistake :D

[borelandn]

stfu this is some lad from school, wow, lets face it it aint perfect but he isn't saying he is jimmy or stevie v - most of us would give our right nut to be play like that

[ibanezfrelon]

timing is bad. ruins it for me

[ChillpointNews]

Lots of fucking critics in this comment section. As if this was a talent contest of who's the best guitar player in the world.

[gkb911]

"...his timing and phrasing needs work." He was probably nervous, I do the same when I play in front of someone.

[noaOFC]

your skilled forsure :> but u should spend alittle time with a metronome! c: that would make you even better.

[jj10175]

131 people dont know real talent!

[Guitarledgend0123]

Lol anyone can solo like that in pentatonic with a 3k dollar guitar.

[PRISI0NER0123]

@Guitarledgend0123 anyone can say that behind a screen millions of miles away :)

[Guitarledgend0123]

@PRISI0NER0123 First and foremost, i watched your videos and most of them are novie/beginner level shit. What hes doing isnt that difficult to play hes just running up and down the same scale for the entire song and yes i understand that has to do with the song itself. Yes, i know i dont have any videos posted myself but it gives you no real ground to judge my playing ability ;)

[PRISI0NER0123]

@Guitarledgend0123 No problem i love you anyways ;)

[PRISI0NER0123]

@Guitarledgend0123 no problem just dont be bad with him his not hurting anyone :D

[94Foges]

Yep, well done

[anidanamaru]

your soul on six strings, maybe you made mistake, but you got it !

[georgeisupset]

gotta love the teachers reaction at the end...priceless!!

[MrRedWB]

Cracking job, quite SRV like,

[MrDomguitar]

you play the song very good but sometimes your out of time and you play to much notes

relax and make some pauses at you solos

[Firelord360]

good job bro 

[KonguAwesome]

To those who don't actually understand music (at the least reading it), he has great timing. Unorthodox licks, but great timing. Jazzybower, correct me if I'm wrong, but are you in your schools Jazz Band I? And by any chance, are you a marcher?

[casualguitarplayer]

nah my guitar teacher´s better than you but nice try though far best on youtue though..

[bgoodd]

Still the best cover on You Tube!

[quinny63]

@bgoodd Lam Morrison does a far better cover without a doubt in my eyes

[quinny63]

@bgoodd Lam Morrison does a far better cover in my eyes

[austntexan]

very nice. thanks for posting.

[Bewarethe1]

Nah drummer is solid at least with his timing. Just do a 1-4 on it.

[dontdareforget123]

lol idk why everyone is saying the drummer sucks so bad, not one of you could probably remember that whole song on the drums and play it, let alone put it on YouTube.

[gallocock]

next time, stand up!!!

[IfearGuitars]

Mate, This is good. To bad the drummer ruined it...

[xavierdeijscoman]

Fuckin amazin. U inspire me. Thnx

[rocknroller1231]

ive been tryin to sale my strat for a les paul, but this has inspired me to keep it and continue my hendrix/SRV bone. hats off to this guy...

[ANT6855]

No the doubt the kid needs work, but its raw, gutty, and on the edge. Props to this guy!

[FOX2419]

All I have to say is that this kid had the guts to get up and do this.. now all you wannabe judges lets see you do better. I would love to pick your rendition apart.

[roadster81TS]

constructive criticism is nice but jesus kids you all say the same shit. fuck the drummer the kids skill. damn anal musicians

[justinsaundersnyc]

The drummer is just as bad as SRV's drummer!!! Tap your feet boys! All of you!!

[josephkallifffraude]

Amazing, love this! Sounds like SRV

[damianpla]

ale va pareces un jonas brother gilipollas

[walterjazzblues]

good job !!!

[sonnytjuh]

What are you thinking??? Cover Hendrix????

[sequal420]

idk know if this has been said but this is not the jimi hendirx cover...this is the Stevie ray Vaughn version

[remixice]

Please practice a lot

[LAO90]

get a job you bummed.

[whirlwind229]

decent. although, if you want to hear someone really play, check out nolan peterson, lead guitarist in the band motorbiscuit from galva, illinois

[psychoactivepaper]

Good cover, the solo just needs a heaps load of rhythm... since it's kinda lacking. I don't get why so many guitarists lack rhythm... maybe none of them play it??

[1971SuperLead]

@psychoactivepaper lol, that's exactly right. We didn't buy a guitar to play rhythm, we started playing guitar because we wanted to play leads in the spotlight. It's only after years of soloing that we begin to appreciate rhythm. lol

[powlaaku]

great playing... but it would be better if u sing it too... :D

it becomes quite repetitive after a while...

still nice though... :D

[20GuitarZero07]

great playing. but for your own progression as a player... I really hope you are practicing while standing. Stage presence goes a long way, and you are very limited sitting... unless of course you reach BB King level status.

[swapnochand]

awesome skill, but overplayed.

[TiipX]

@swapnochand

Agree, should sound more steril and clean

[TopppieJopppie]

@swapnochand

If you compare to jimi's studio records its overplayed. But his music is all about the live shit with epic awesome " overplayed" solo's. The part about the timing up here is true.. but hey.. pretty awesome skills anyways. I wonder if it is universal or just practiced improv for this song

[guitarman7477]

FUCKING AWESOME MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[Fileno93]

I LOVE IT! thumbs up if you love it too

[tomoulevou]

why did you people hated that so much? one of the bests on the youtube, congratulations.

[humanpaintball88]

Nice dude

Try to think more about the space between the notes though... It doesn't matter how many notes there are, just how you play them

[dizzykrissi]

sounds like the version of Stevie Ray

[hvrock13]

Nice playing, might wanna change the title to Stevie Ray Vaughan though, this is far from Jimi's original version.

[The12ismine]

That was really good! I like that a lot! The intro was cool too.

[MrMaggoo24]

Actually awesome, really love not only your almost spot on cover of the intro with your own little bits added in but also your improv is very impressive and very Hendrix-esque

[floyd369]

nice job!

[FlamingBannanaTV]

lol great fukin guitar!! u deserve a beter drummer

[robbiek142]

fuckin sick. how long u been playin the geetarr

[timmy47]

his guitar doesnt have a strap. thats why he isnt standing. jeez.

[hvrock13]

@timmy47 I'm sure he had a strap, he probably just chose not to stand, and left the strap home.

[timmy47]

@hvrock13 im sure he has one, just not right here so obviously he isnt going to stand. whether or not he did it on purpose is debatable and honestly, i dont see why it matters to some people.

[hvrock13]

@timmy47 Yeah, I don't see why it matters easier. I thought you were stating he didn't own a strap. But yeah, I think every electric guitar player has a strap. Its pretty much thrown in when you get a beginner guitar, and most electric guitarists want to stand and rock out haha.

[figaz555]

@timmy47

You are one hell of a god damn moron. I am sure he could have put a strap on if he wanted you bannana.

[timmy47]

@figaz555 im sure he could too you fucking idiot. when did i said he couldnt have? im asking why the hell it matters if he did or not? its clear he didnt have one on the guitar. perhaps he forgot it, perhaps it wasnt even his guitar. who the hell knows why he didnt put a strap on and stand up. the point is, who the fuck cares? ppl, stop responding to my posts if you are too dense to get this point.

[figaz555]

@timmy47 You stated that he wasn't standing up because he didn't have a strap. What I said was 100 percent relevant you retard.

[timmy47]

@figaz555 actually its not. the only information you have is there is no strap on the guitar. you have no idea what happened before the show. he may have forgot it, he may have chosen not to put it on. but obviously its not there. and obviously hes not going to stand if its not. im not sure how much more clear this can be: WHO CARES

[figaz555]

@timmy47

You sound like a pretentious fucking dick head. You are simply digging a deeper hole for yourself to waddle around in like a retard.

[timmy47]

@figaz555 the only one doing that is you. do you see a strap? no. so shut. the. fuck. up. people asked why hes not standing. obviously if theres no strap he isnt going to. whether or not he chose that is impossible to know so its not even worth talking about. so basically, you are so fucking dense that ive had to explain this to you over and over and you probably still wont get it. so just stfu and move on bud.

[zZounds1]

great job!!!! but my god how many amps are there behind you?!?!?

[wokawithme]

stand up and play!

[figaz555]

@wokawithme

go suck the shiz off you pathetic face you homosexual and insignificant piece of the proverbial bull shit.

[etdrefiel]

Should of played standing up and had a better drummer and it would have been an Awesome performance!

[Nintend0Guitarist]

should of played standing up, gives a better feal

[longlivebone]

im sure this performance got u mad trim if this was at your high school lol

[DBDMagiC]

you rock man , if u did all this 4 years ago i wonder what u can do now,

keep it up , i wish i was playing as good as you are

[Gibsonbloos]

man that gave me the chills! very nicely done!

[krazyandrock]

man i loved this. ahmazing

[rockinlady86]

Tristan you are great! And I imagine you have improved a lot since 2006.. you must be an even greater guitarist now. Just keep on playin', you give such emotions to the people who listen to you. Anna

[xxRockst4r]

he should've really stand up, wtf is he doing sitting down ? It's not like it's that much harder to stand up. anyways, rocking cover !

[mistad00m]

his tone and playing touch is amazing,but his timing and phrasing needs work.

[igknightus]

@mistad00m his tone is .....it needs work as well.....its WAY to trebbly at parts...

[pballinstar]

@mistad00m his timing is fine, his drummer just cant keep a damn beat

[platinum4X]

@pballinstar actually he rushes.....ALOT, even when the drummer is steady(not filling) and he is missing some of the very important pivot notes of the lines he's playing because he doesn't fully know the song. He is improvising way too much and the song doesn't even sound like the SRV version at all. NOT EVEN CLOSE !

[BlackLotus867]

@platinum4X he made it his own man. that's respectable.

[webhead311]

@mistad00m i think it might have been the drummers sucky playing that threw him of

[jazzybower]

finally recovered the account which posted this video....yes! Have another little video I will upload in the morning so all subscribers should receive it. Thanks. -Tristan

[strat6911]

Great job young feller, very glad the haters don't shake you up either. Lord knows there are enough of those fools. Sounds good, keep working it.

[blackmarketgirl101]

i have this on my mp3 player, i love it, thank you:))

[guitarou15]

not good

[000grungehead000]

At least he wasn't sitting in front of his computer plugged into it so he can get digital sound, mix, and edit it until it sounds just right. I agree it was too quick in some spots, but it still has a great raw blues sound to it. And after all blues music is all about moving the soul and emotion of the player and the audience.

[mathildafoghorn]

A COPY CAT OF STEVIE RAYT??? THERE IS NO BETTER COMPLIMENT I CAN THINK OF!! I am stunned at the pettiness, jealousies and judgements of such a welcome, unusual and searing talent. Thank you thrice and thrice again, Tristan. This is the best argument for sticking with what you love no matter what the--stone throwers hurl at you. Dodge 'em and keep strumming your passion. A COPY CAT!! I should be so lucky.

[TristanJB5]

@mathildafoghorn

Thank you for your appreciation and support in my defense. haha I'm not bothered by anyone hating on it....Glad to know you enjoyed it. This video was filmed a while ago and I was still/ & still am maturing as a musician. Regards. -Tristan

[mathildafoghorn]

NOT A HARD THING TO PLAY?! I...I....have to control myself.

God knows it could only be Stevie himself who would have the nerve to say such a thing.

[mathildafoghorn]

The only thing I forgot was WHO CARES if you sound like the SRV video. It's not like you're pretending to be someone else, just doing an AWESOME TRIBUTE. Tristan, don't ever stop.

You are...brilliant doesn't do you justice. Anybody that says any different is like a movie critic--those who can't do, judge.

[mathildafoghorn]

Tristan you are F*ricking amazing. I know enough by now to trust my taste. I dare any naysayers to show you up. But that's irrelevant. You are frigging awesome. I wish you were here to teach me.

[FYRFOX198]

Don't rush it kid, it sounded good. Don't play it feel it, like you feelin' up a beautiful girl. See, now we all know you're a virgin.....lol....it's all good.....

[casadoputedo]

not bad, but he's playing to fast. He jumped some pauses in the song.

however it's one of the best covers in the tube.

[9ihsanp9]

not great

[Vince3k]

what made this an awesome cover was not only his amazing guitar playing but his band too... dont' think theres enough credit for his drummer and bass that gave him good support to make this cover amazing

[xxamplifyxx]

Awesome cover...but his drummer kept speeding up as the song went by lol..... must have been excited

[AbbeyNO]

what? the drummer wasn't good

[ledhead923]

this is so sick. the only suggestion i have would be to make the volume on the solos a tad bit higher for more punch. but so nice.

[ledhead923]

much love

[aizam19]

tempo must be slow mr drummer..ur guitarist hard to feel the song....

[Leonard5555]

nice

[pagnieats]

mikesta99, you mean machine heads LOL yeahs, well tristan very very much like Stevie, (how he lays out his licks) and even though its good to hear some quick stuff, maybe slow it down a notch? slow can still be good you know. (Y) good playing, next time use a strap aswell and stand, so the guitar doesn't slip off your leg, and you'll have alot more fun haha (Y)

[cygnux1]

The fault goes to the drummer who is rushing all the way i thougt he will be playing double time by the end of the song!

[differentdude01]

Performing this on an electric in front of an audience while sitting is....not right....

LOL

Anyways, excellent playing. Not sure what the rush was as far as the tempo, but still great playing. Hats off!!

[bgoodd]

Tristan - Watchin' this video AGAIN !

Still the best on Youtube,

Put up your newest stuff soon but this will always be your Classic.

[TristanJB5]

will do! thanks man. -T

[vallante]

arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics.......

....even if you win...you're still retarded. :( sry guys

badass guitar playing too

[vallante]

that drummer is one of the worsts i've ever heard rofl

[laketahoeron]

@vallante you are right that drummer is shit, he is makin the song drag and sound cheap!

[yuzoxp]

リズムが

[budge490]

Harmonically, your guitar playing is very good, but your time is off at points. Very good, though.

[mikesta99]

quick question tristan....

Do you play on Cean, Crunch, Metal .or insane?

[TristanJB5]

Clean for the quite parts but I used a bluse driver from Bose for the louder more climatic parts + wah wah

[rimmshott]

1:27 this rendition is great. very very nice job

[abratskeller]

Awesome Mikesta999, but this is his video...you dont have to brag to him about your own skills. Nice job tristan

[mikesta99]

Same amp as me ;)

I can play this song equal...

[streetpunker]

prove it

[mikesta99]

Im thinkin of making a new channel on youtube for my guitar videos.... But currently my camera is fucked and my guitar is in pretty rough shape. I need some new tuning nobs because they have been worn in to much and start to unwind after a few minutes of playing....

[ChillpointNews]

This is great stuff! I'm missing some groovy bass though, but his guitar playing is without a question outstanding.

[djacidweed]

great maaaannn !!!

[AbbeyNO]

theres much here taken from the SRV version

[inchskater]

wow !!

1:21-1:24 maybe not a hard thing to play but daaamn it sounds good !

[honeyfred]

Very cool!

[nicosatch]

No es para tanto

[karljochen]

very nice i like your style!very very nice

[DubJub]

Epic...

[Alecsandur]

That's the sickest version i've ever heard. Good work Tristan.

[brokenheadbrad]

[Castrox01]

das fuckin madd man

[TristanJB5]

Thanks everyone for your supportive comments. Appreciate it. Gonna post more coming later this year. Promise! -Tristan.

[4rainbowed]

who is he?

[teaching442]

The drummer's tempo is way too fast

[LowDeath23]

Drummer suck.

u rock

[fartsallot]

he's good for his age and should mature in his playing skills if he stays with it...Very Average...

[LightSidemusic]

GREAT COVER DUDE!!!

[TMMSfanCLUB]

not gonna find many who'll play it like that. He probably sleeps with that thing.

[HenDwiX]

awesome skill

[bgoodd]

ok. It's been about two years now since I first saw your video and there still isn't a single cover on You Tube that's better.

I like the slight "Clapton" sound you've thrown in there. No mistaking it.

[orleib3]

That was really good.. that guitarist has got some soul!

[1wesmantooth]

I would hate to have to go on after that!!!!!!!

[psicodelianigha]

muy bueno lo suyo señor......excelente tema....y muy bien realisado.....a ver si subis alguno mas de jimmi....excelente!!!

[1wesmantooth]

Holy Shit that is at Laguna Beach Highschool. They put this show on there every year. That was Mr. Shapiro in the end that shook his hand

[3whiteknite]

that drummer is one of the worsts i've ever heard rofl

[GuitarHurricane22]

vouch

[PabloMaffioli]

piola

[Retardinjo99]

this is very interesting why dont u put more covers?

[prad1234]

thank you for not covering note for note,
