I was a little irritated to find I'd clicked on a cover of this song. I was pretty sure Jimi never owned a Led Zeppelin concert Tee. And I was very sure that Jimi's fingers weren't white! But that was impressive. Just don't quit your day job if you want to be a singer.
that was really good! I agree with old guy, never thought I would hear any body repeat that almost note for note.The only thing missing is a couple of marshal stacks and an afro[ with bandana].I applaud your playing.
One of the best Hendrix tunes played in the hendrix style but with some original personal feeling added. I like this funky version too! Funky as hell, JAM ON PLAYER.
Well, you know what ?? I just clicked on your video and I was watching pictures on my laptop..I thought it was jimi hendrix playing for a while until a switched on the video again and saw your finger on the neck, good job !
This is a fascinating video: the stiff rhythm, precise articulation, the Pakistan/Afghan wood wall, the lively strat screen shot with vibrato, the Rory Gallagher toned voice. Tantalizing!
nice one jimirayYng this is really one of my all time favorites of jimi ,band of gypsies is my favorite time if jimi's playing and sound, eaRTH BLUES FUNK !!! KEEP ON ROCKING MY FRIEND....
You've got good taste, young man. Don't you just love it when you find these overlooked, underappreciated gems? Rest assured, there are plenty of us out there who are fully aware of them too. You ain't alone.
Oh, and great chops too. It's always dubious when someone tries to cover Jimi, but I watched the whole thing from start to finish with rapt attention. No matter how talented you are, you can't get there without hours and hours of practice. Good job!
i have listened to several covers of this great tune & yours is the best i have heard so far. You got a good handle on the riffs the way Hendrix played them & at the same time it is still your own style--i.e. not a note-for-note copy, which makes it more interesting.
this was really nice jimiRayng i am very impressed ,you captured the tone and feel and its nice to hear it as your own version,flows well ,keep rocking my friend!
At first I was well pissed off, searching for Jimi, found another chump who thought he could play and did a little shit video. But have to say more than pleasantly surpised! Love the background like some stoner going back in time and saying ignore that strange guitar imposter and have a blast on this Henry the fucking VIII
You rock, man. Not close to Jimi, but then, who is? My band in that era (late 60s/ early 70s) played many songs, but we had to leave out Hendrix because none of our guitars could touch him. Not even as close as what you did. One critique, and a lot of people misunderstand this. In the song you sing,"...travel at the speed, of a reborn man". He is actually saying."travel at the speed of a Repo man". Think about it. And don't trust lyrics people write, they don't know jack. I was there.
JimiRay, cuando escucho a Cream con Clapton Bruce y Ginger para mi eran los mejores y cuando me pongo a Jimi Hendrix me pasa igual yo no toco la guitarra pero tu no le tienes que envidiar a nadie.Por cierto viste CREAM en 2005 un abrazo y suerte
I listened to several others trying to cover this song. It is one of Jimi's best and you are the man! Get in a good band and stay there. I would give a milliion dollars to play half as well as you.
I can't tell you how inspirational your playing is--it knocked me out. Did you do your own backing or tracks or did you buy some form of jam trax? Any response would be greatly appreciated!
Man you really nailed that one! I am a drummer and you're one of the few guitar players aside from my brother who also is awesome that they bring honor to legend that is Jimi Hendrix
Actually I don't really like the original version of this song like Jimi played on the Band and Gypsys Album , but by you it sounds great :p , but I prefer Jimi's Woodstock version as well :)
That was absolutely brilliant mate! Totally incredible. If you arent making a living from guitar then i suggest you start right away. Would be very grateful if you can send the tab and tuning :)
You really deliver the goods. Thanks for posting these, I've really enjoyed them.Band of Gypsys is my favourite live album by ANYBODY, it is a fluent, faultless performance by Hendrix. Message To Love is also my favourite track from it. Thanks again.M
Absolutely incredible playing. Best self taught playing I have seen in awhile. Thanks for your rendition of my favorite Hendrix tune. You should try the Woodstock version with Hendrix vocalizing along with his guitar for the intro.
Nice playing man.band of gypsy's are just amazing pure soul..played there music pretty much everyday this week the best music to jam to easy on n led zeppelin of course
Nice tone,me friend,and a good voice too. I have question.I have the same guitar sound.Which one of the fender pickups do you use.Vintage,Tex,Custom,HB??Just curious.
Excellent Job !! I found that tab at guitar pro, but its bits and pieces of the chord so its hard to see what the chords are for the main body of the song. I can see it better here. How old are you and how long have you been playing ?
One of my favourites "executed" so well. Thanks. Really nice to listen to. Just for pleasure, but excitement too. One of the songs I'd like to play with my fellow teachers in our school band - to play for kids and let them know what good music should look like. Maybe one day ...
sweet playing i've been trying to play this song for ages now and i don't think i'll ever get that good, but it gives me hope to watch someone else do justice to a great song, maybe one day..... nice job, keep it up.
