  • damn dude.

  • NICE MY MAN.

  • i came across you tonight as well, and i felt like i was there while you were jammin'. Nice!

  • Duuuuude! Came across this tonight. You brought the heat! Fantastic job!

  • thanks for teaching me this song

  • awesome dude !!

  • 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.

  • mog Faggs !!

  • 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.

  • Excellent.. and i thought i was good... 10/10

  • 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.

  • Good shit!

  • Bloody Incredible!!!

  • Dude, you F'in Rock!

  • what tuning are you using

  • amazing! to be honest i wasn't expecting anything but i you totally blew me away. I TOTALLY put you in my favourites =)

    is there any chance for tabs or lessons cause i can't get the right chords

    peace

  • great playing- love this song-

  • Led Zeppelin \o

  • FREAKIN SMOKIN

  • Does anybody know the song crazy horse of jimi ?

  • 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!

  • I'm floored 

  • dude, you are awesome!

  • 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....

  • awesome.....words can't give the video justice....

  • Favourite song? Favourite live album?

    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!

  • Dude, that was incredible...God has blessed you and you have worked hard for sure...Keep going Brother

  • excellent lead work!

  • this sir is an excellent video

  • best thing i've seen on you tube for a long time.Your phrasing and timing is fabulous to listen to.

  • very impressive good job man

  • DON'T EVER,EVER... PUT THAT GUITAR DOWN. YOU HAVE A GIFT! :D

  • DON'T EVER,EVER... PUT THAT GUITAR DOWN. YOU HAVE A GIFT!

  • 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.

  • Great,Blackie! Best wishes from Moscow (Russia) guitar player & Jimi's fan Richie Madatov. Love

  • Bravo bravo !

  • did you make that backing track yourself?

    very impressive gig dude ! was fun to watch

  • Wow, i can't play and not really a big cover person, but you really doing some justice to this song! Good job man!

  • Comment removed

  • Very nice! What gear are you using? You got the tone and feel.... keep it up!!

  • 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!

  • This is amazing, can't stop listening to it. Probably my favorite Jimi jam as well.

  • My favourite Hendrix song.

    Love the solo on the Band of Gypsys cd, but your solo is also very good.

  • May I ask you what did you use to obtain that sound? Thanks!

  • Excellent!!!! The sound also!!!

  • great and love the shirt too

  • you are fantastic

  • you are fantastic

    

  • you play fantastic. i wanne see your face. jimi reborn

  • Damn sweet playing, bud! Pretty smooth for not being Hendrix himself!!

    Steve

  • You got it man, nice work

  • On some occasions i have tried to figure out this song, more like decode it. I didn't get far. My hat is off to you.

  • 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

  • jimi born in Niegowonice

  • Great job dude!

  • 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.

  • amazing :)

  • 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

  • NI Robin as you tower plays Jimi Ray

  • jimi tocas muy ok

  • Thanxxxxxxxx for the post, JImi would indeed be proud. I've never seen/heard anyone on YouTube cover anything as well as this, especially Jimi.

  • thank you bro!

  • Didn't expect much when I ran across this. You rock man! Dig it. Hendrix was a God. You must be one of his angels!! Far out!!

  • Pretty good job here. Hendrix is hard to cover.  Kudos.

  • fantastic job on a great song. impressive!

  • Man, i'm impressed. I thought that was one of those songs nobody could play.

  • Bravo!!! Hello from Serbia!

  • Nice! also my favourite live album...but too many great songs to pick a favourite ;)

    How long you been playing?

    you just helped me solve a few mysteries of this song. Thanks!

  • DIG! Your playing has a really nice feel.

  • Awesome cover!!!

  • Nice work Genius! I can do that too. You could have the best bar band ever! Write something!!!

  • Wowzers!

  • damn dude i'm gonna call you baby hendrix that fuckin rocked my man!!!!!!

  • man your tearin up some super sexy licks

  • LOl I think you used the same backing track as me haha.

  • Simple amazing *****

  • outstanding man

  • 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.

  • do you have a million dollars?

  • Awesome...Very very very Good.

  • good job with your tone, sounds like jimi. are you using a fuzz, or overdrive, or what?

  • thumbs up !

  • that was fuckin sick! hell ya bro....dirty

  • Nice........keep on pushin.......straight ahead

  • one of my all time favorite songs, wish i could play it like that. well done

  • very good, but try to 'relax' your vibrato's.

    peace

  • Fantastic!*****

  • Good job, man!

  • Wonderful cover version of a wonderful song. Closest rendition to the Master himself.

  • Jim,

    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!

    Keep of the great work!

  • very well done. one of my favourite tracks

  • One of my all-time favourite Hendrix songs—it can make me cry. Played beautifully. You captured the vibe perfectly.

  • fuck yeah, thats good. I love this track above all other Hendrix, something very right about Buddy & Billy as the backing

  • awsome 5/5

  • brilliant! Well played, sir!

  • bad quality, but a a fucking great great song

  • sorry i got a bit carried away.its some good guitaring is what i should have said

  • wow the best shit ive seen someone play maybe

  • You sir have nailed that one right on the head.

  • Woah!!! YOU BLEW MY MIND - FANTASTICO

  • Wow! I guess you liked Band of Gypsys too.

  • Absolutly exellent !!! Jimi would be realy proud of you !! Great sound too !

  • Thanks man

  • 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 :)

  • Excellent!.. Well done.. I love Jimi and love to see tributes like this performed as Jimi did them himself!

  • I aprreciate everyone who covers Hendrix with an own impro and not note for note from different tab sites. Well done buddy...

  • 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 can find the fillmore east version in the band of gypsys tab book.. i got it from that one.

  • Well, that's it I am done. Good guitar.

  • whats the tunning mate?

  • I think it was eb

  • sick(: but maybe a too deep voice in some parts

  • 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

  • Best of Band of Gypsys. R.I.P Jimi and Buddy.

  • far out man!

  • ~Man it's hard to sing and play this one but you pull it off with style...

  • 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.

  • Thank you, yes the woodstock eversion is soooo cool.

  • lets give him a round of applause!!

  • I,m still tryin!

  • Fucking elll! that really rolled!

  • 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.

  • Thanks,All my strats have different pickups

    in this clip they are the stock ones that come with the HW1 strat. it does however have a grease bucket tone circuit

  • 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 ?

  • dude that was amazing!.. are you self tought? sound great keep it up

  • 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 ...
