[eddiegrey]

[nubbie1944]

[DeathofJigsaw]

[Myavrick]

Sounds very good. Good song that's hard to sing and harder to play Thanks

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

That was excellent Eddie.

[truthsleuth]

Amazingly talented even back then Eddie!!! Lotta soul in it!!

NOW, you're simply absolutely all-around amazing!!! Your phrasing and sound is just unbelievable. I never thought anybody could actually play like Jimi, but there are some great guitar players out there and Eddie; you're certainly among the very best of them imho!!!

Eddie thats some great playing you rock

[eddiegrey]

[srvfan79]

The woodstock version of 'Voodoo Child(Sligth Return)' was awesome. Great Jimi's improv this day. He would surely dig the way you play his music...

Peace & happiness, yeah... happiness!

[eddiegrey]

I was listening to the Woodstock concert to start my day...VC is so awesome, love the ending jamming just before he plays SSB, especially...peace and happiness, yeah...happiness!

White hot too!!!

LC

[eddiegrey]

wooh, LC!!! So glad this one took you there, bro!

[e4i]

Ahah I'm looking the section from voodoo child to villanova junction everyday to don't forget how insane was Jimi and how he can pull all sorts of feelings from just 6 strings , now I'll get time to look at yours :p ! Have you ever covered the Woodstock Improvisation ?

[eddiegrey]

Jimi is such a far out player and an incredible inspiration to me...yes, I have a cover of what was first called the Woodstock Improvisation on the original Woodstock soundtrack (later know as Villanova Junction).

[jacpascal3645]

Yeah, thats great!

[eddiegrey]

;-)...thanks again!!!

[izzisnake]

Gotta love this one...No matter who plays it

Feedback reigns :)

I think i´m going to get my videos and check out woodstock again

[eddiegrey]

8-D...thanks!!! I pulled out Jimi's Woodstock performance and have been listening to it today...so good to hear it!!!

[Tadek59]

Fantastic performance and amazing music and excellent sound !!!!

Great job !!!

5*****

[eddiegrey]

So glad you enjoyed the effort!

[carlguage]

He woke me Up with this song!! I was sleeping at the side of the Road.I was 17..Boy that time went Fast!!..Nice Cover Guys!!!

[eddiegrey]

Funny, I thought to myself, if there is anyone I know was probably there, you would be the one! So glad to share this one with...

[carlguage]

Im Getting Old Eddie!!!LOL!!!!That ... I Was driven up to Woodstock by OLDER Friends..2 couples in the 20s!!! I Guess theyre getting old Too!....LOL!!!

[eddiegrey]

I hear ya!!!  Lucky you to have such "older" friends...just keep on staying young at heart, Carl!

[jimicolors]

thanks for sharing this

Peace to you

[eddiegrey]

Peace and happiness to you, my friend! I'm glad you are the first to receive and comment on this on this day!

[foulkes52]

Eddie thanks for sharing this! I met Jimi in 68 in London and he was totally about going with the moment as you know. He would have been groovin on your performance! Maybe a little more use of the tongue and some phalic thrusts. Time to buy that Marshall half stack! While you at an Octavia?

Keep these coming!

[eddiegrey]

So cool of you to comment, friend! left the Marshall stack and octavia at home this night... very cool that you got to meet Jimi, what a great life-moment...the closest I got was to stand right in front of him while he played his last home town show at Sicks Stadioum, Seattle on July 26, 1970

[ew1951]

Geez. You saw his last show in Seattle?! That's one monumental experience there EG. And then, less than two months later you heard the news?! That's an incredible story all in itself. It shows the logic behind your passion for keeping his music alive...which you do extremely well...especially at the 5:00mark in this vid. Up till now, I didn't even realize Jimi did many concerts in 1970 (exept for Rainbow Bridge). But, to be there for his last hometown concert...WOW! Destiny sure plays a role.

[mbcaliforniagirl]

Eddie~Beautiful!!!!!!

marshaX

[hendrixkixas]

The starspangled banner was hella accurate.

[booya62056]

Thats kick ass man! good job

[eddiegrey]

Glad you enjoyed the effort, cheers!

[BigDames28]

wow thats one of the best tributes ive heard

[eddiegrey]

that's mighty kind of you to comment!

[theerion]

oh hell yeah!

[dr00andrew]

wut string and what fret did you get at 54 or the sound before te star spangled banner starts

[eddiegrey]

I slid a E7 form on the A, D, G strings from the 7th fret up an octave with the high B and E strings ringing open. That where the feedback at that point happens.

[dr00andrew]

thakn you

[PAKIJIMI]

that was a really good cover and im a huge hendrix fan and would have given you a billion things wrong with it! but it was great

[eddiegrey]

Deeply appreciated, thanks!

[ingentingfunkarju]

Really cool!! Too bad you couldnt get the volume louder. This ones goes to eleven...

[jhendrix7911]

it would be cool if you could learn the improv. to this particular song

[sonic13]

very impressive! This is a very hard song to cover. Weeks of practice and I still couldn't ever get it down :P

[sysphus13]

nice tone, if you don't mind telling me, what pedals do you generally use to get that hendrix tone?

[eddiegrey]

The 1st issue of the Marshall Bluesbreaker is my fav pedal for adding a Marshall tone with Fender amps, usually kicked on for leads but sometimes on for the song. I used a Boss CE-2 chorus that night as I did not have a univibe, an Italian Vox Crybaby, and possibly a Roger Mayer Axis fuzz. The amp was probably set to around 4-5 as the club did not want the volume too loud. I was working to get the sustain and feedback you hear.

[gsbreath2]

just like woodstock! Awsome

[PK441041]

Great!!

[slimshady1111]

Wow ive seen woodstock about alot of times and this is a great cover, good gob
