  • Unfuckingreal

  • Dude..You rock!!

  • You put a smile on my face with this one.

  • awesome 

  • awesom

  • he would be proud of you

  • SUPERB

  • would love to hear you do that on a strat

  • Beautiful *subscribes*

    You're making that look a bit too easy! Very nonchalant; as if you've got more important things to be getting on with.

  • this makes me not want to play guitar anymore, thanks for be retardedly good

  • Non mi fà impazzire come arrangiamento, pero devo dire che è divertente!

  • very very nice !!

  • That's the best TWCM cover I've heard.

  • funky

  • how many strings does the 3rd guitar from the right in the background have? the neck is thick as helll!

  • Nice and funky. Never heard it played this way before on guitar. Great job!

  • Great arrangement.

  • Comment removed

  • Obviously very talented, but this sounds like a mix between country and elevator version? Boring compared to Hendrix. Great skills though, just puts me to sleep.

  • Excellent!

  • Perfect!

  • god that was amazing. You gotta play guitar to fully appriciate this guy. Some slick arrangement going on.

  • I'm very impressed, and I'm sure Jimi would be honored by this.

  • Yes, it is beautiful. But the jazz version of Purple Haze will be very different, it will be a Bossa Nova style with smooth jazz solo and without distortion. Anyway I'm just curious, you try it when you have time.

    Many thanks.

  • Amazing!

  • nice tone!cool

  • Thanks! I think my more recent videos sound much better, check 'em out.

  • seriously now when i listen to it again, cant believe ur playing it SO good. Daamn

  • Thank you! It's not a bad arrangement but please check out some of my more recent videos for much better audio/video quality...

  • This is great!!!! Love it

  • thanks for posting this, i really enjoyed it :)

  • an inspired rendering. a great song done its justice.

  • o. o Mhm Nice :>

  • Very very nice ;)

  • Beautiful guitar/tone/playing, Hendrix would hear Your cover!!

  • Thanks!

  • Well done, what make/model guitar is that?

  • Thanks! This is an Ibanez AG75. In my more recent videos I get, I think, a much nicer tone, take a listen.

  • Superb! Don't know what else to say.  I'm also interested in your arsenal of axes. The one you're playing here just sings but i bet there are other gems!! Superb, again!

  • wow!

  • I think Jimi Hendrix is smiling down on you. Beautiul!

  • @jst1998 Best comment i agree fo sho!

  • Brilliant!

  • hey man ,very great

    where could i find this score pleaze

    i love this song,and your " version" is superbe!!

    hyveuss french guitarist!

  • Thank you! No score/TAB, but I have a really terrific DVD lesson where I show how to play this arrangement slowly and in closeup.

  • Amazing version, and lovely sounding guitar. This is the first of your vids I have watched, I suspect I am in for a few treats !!!

  • Guys like you should get recognition unlike the untalented lil waynes and soulja boys

  • Unfortunately the industry doesn't work like that... I wish everyday that people would realize what real music is so this could become mainstream again.

  • All I can say is I thought this was an awesome song before you played it. Now, it's unbelievable. However, you already know that, I'm sure.

    Great job. I am very humbled!

  • Can you explain how approach your chords? I've been trying to read up on Ted Greene, but I'm not very educated in musical theory.

  • Thanks for the question! I have many instructional DVDs which might help, one of them specifically on this arangment. Please click on the link in "more info" to learn more. Thanks!

  • This guy is very good and I would love to play this song like him, but to say he is better than Jimi? First of all Jimi Hendrix didn't have the benefit of a Jimi Hendrix before him. Jimi was a pioneer and truly stretched the limits of what people were doing in those days. As far as any guitarist that came after jimi being better than him I say ...... a jet airliner today might be better than the Wright brother's plane, but you wouldn't have that jet without a Kitty Hawk before it.

  • I agree completely! Honestly, I don't think these guys meant it literally, I think it was more meant as a compliment to me, which is very nice to hear.

  • Well you deserve the compliment. The guitar seems like a very well spoken second language for you. I'd love to hear some more Hendrix renditions. I just recently fell in love with him all over again. Thanks for the video!!

  • I agree! I'm pretty sure that when people say that it's only meant as a compliment and not as a specific measurable thing...

  • @gjambro If you think that jimi was that great of a guitarist, you've obviously never heard any of the pioneering guitarists that came before jimi. Barney Kessel, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy..the list goes on and on. Jimi just happened to be popular and reached an audience that had never heard anything as good so they assumed and still act like he is the god of modern guitar. Sorry but McLaughlin and bloomfield were both contemporaries of his and were WAY better

  • @gjambro it was called the wright flyer

  • @gjambro I agree man!!! People always wanna throw guitar players... after Hendrix at me... but you can't overlook the great blues players, and people before Hendrix... Inspiration is vast and spreads for thousands of years... Since the dawn of humanity.

  • @gjambro Well said...Jimi is Jimi....But I do enjoy listening to this guy play...I'd get a date and shell out some cash too

  • A little Wes Montgomery and Jimi Hendrix

    way coolll

  • 2 of my greatest heroes, thanks!

  • i gotta say, your a pretty groovy guitarists.

  • Simply awesome...excellent phrasing, and natural feel and timing. You...just flow, brother!

    Regards,

    Breck

  • I love hendrix like I love my own mother but in my opinion you play it better than him......your playing blows me away my man, your my new hero.......

  • dude this guy is the actual guitar hero

  • this guy is awesome but saying he plays it better than Jimi....doesn't seem right.

    this is more about the improvisation while Jimi's live performance of this tune was about the tone and phrasing (its one of the few songs he didn't improvise on)

    I don't really agree but I don't disagree...its just different...there's no reason to cause any animosity by saying such a thing. I guess it because this is more of a Jazz rendition (I love Jazz too).

  • fuckin awesome....great improvisation

  • How good ypur playing is!

    Congratulations!

  • Is that a Washburn? I couldn't really read the headstock.

  • an Ibanez I think,

  • It's Ibanez... The symbol is what gives it away...

  • I AM BLOWN AWAY

    BRAVO

  • Bravo! Taking a blues standard such as WCM and approaching it from a Jazz standpoint is so innovative. I'm at a loss for words but you have taken it down a road not yet traveled as far as I know which commands respect. Hats off!

  • Thanks!

  • wow, this was some awesome stuff, if you could, i would love to hear you play that giant guitar behind you (12 string maybe? the headstock is in the way so i can't count) great vid 5/5

  • COOL!!! I would like to hear you play some of your other guitars behind you!

  • sounds a little bit more like the John Mayer version and the Jaimie Callum verstion as well. Still a great job though!

  • Wow! Man! Wow!!!!! You should play live, do you? Well if yes, where?!

    Can I request something?

    The song Ten Years Gone! I would like to hear that Led Zeppelin song jazzed up!

  • Great requests! I have a version of Thank You by Led Zeppelin I will probably upload soon, please make sure to subscribe. Thanks!

  • brilliant

  • Very nice cover of the song. Not pure jazz however. Bluesy, rocky, and cool! Amazing...

  • Jazz is awesome and you're cool with it...

  • Simply Amazing....

    That was really something special. Having heard that has changed my thinking of how to play The Wind Cries Mary now. Your an inspiration keep playing music my friend. 5 Stars & Subscribed

  • You are the shit

  • this sounds really nice, u put your own twist on it.

  • Awesome!

  • Oh wow. Very nice!

  • sick sick this sounds so good. I agree with the karma guy

  • Jake, can you do SRV's Riviera Paradise ?? I would love to hear your version of that classic.

  • That's a great request! I remember back around 89', I listened to two records back to back, nonstop, In Step by SRV and Still Got The Blues by Gary Moore. I put these on a cassette tape and wore it out over a period of two years, very influential stuff! I'd love to do it but at the moment my "to upload" list is already longer than 100 tunes, so it might be a while... Thanks!

  • Jake, the life of a musician is just that, a life. One must enjoy it just as one enjoys a song; the beginning, middle, and end; the fast parts and slow, the harmonious and discordant. We are gifted, that is, given a gift: we can make music whenever we want. We play first because we love it! That others may, too, is a bonus.

  • That being said, it looks like your YT fans are an increasing number. Don't be jaded; you're a young man with many years of music ahead of you.  My hope is that YOU keep enjoying it so that you keep doing it. It's obvious that thousands of others are enjoying it!

  • Thank you for the kind words!

  • Teach me your skills, gypsy.

  • From beginning to the  end- amazing !

  • Great work, can I move in and play with your toys:)

  • Awesome Playing! Ive been playing drums since I was five and not yet hae I seen playing like that. keep it up man

  • I would love to hear you do a stevie ray vaughan tune and emulate his solos in the fascinating and unique jazzy way you emulated hendrix's guitar solo on this tune.

  • Damn that would be amazing - agree!!

  • My thought is that if you made an album of Hendrix, led zepplin, and other very famous guitar rock tunes in this exact style of solo guitar, you would probably sell a ton of records. I know I would buy one. How could you not buy one -- you favorite tunes played in such an interesting and fascinating way! You are blessed with something very special and unique.

  • Thank you! Unfortunately in today's music environment, my kind of stuff is not in demand. I'm glad here and there I can make someone like yourself happy, that's what I'm here for, but beyond that I don't have much hope. I have some energy for the music but zero energy for promotion and all the other BS. Thanks again, please make sure to subscribe, i should have plenty new videos soon.

  • Hey Jake, I know how frustrating the music bis. is. I played restaurants etc. with my son (violin)guitar (me)and a drum machine. The money is really next to nothin' but they feed you LOL Most restr; the music is the first thing they cut. The BIG music scene is a REAL joke. Jazz guys and the like are really having a rough time..Henceforth; MUSIC TEACHERS are born. What a shame that we've come to this point...KEEPON STRUMMIN......DALLAS had to VENT.

  • BTW, in my haste to rant about the state of music today I forgot to mention that I already have such a CD, it's called '16 Songs' and it's exactly that, acoustic guitar covers of great tunes by The Beatles, LZ, Steve Miller, etc. It's from 2000 and I barely sold enough to cover the expense... It's really a great CD, let me know if you'd like a copy at 15 bucks plus s&h. Thanks!!

  • Bro, I would get rid of the the beatles,lz and steve miller and put in hendrix, led zep and srv , play it on electric and then see what happens. This sounds as great as when I last heard it!

  • Fantastic! I had to play it more than once because it was so good! I would to hear more of your playing.

  • amazing!!! wish i could play like that!

  • that was inspiring. really really inspiring. amazing man.

  • Man this video just made my day

    the type of guitarist that can take anothers work and make this good is rare to find these days

    my digs and my respects to this video man!

    keep on doing your thing!

  • amazing spin on this classic, a dvd lesson would be sooo amazing congrats on a job well done!

  • I agree totally with vhead your version is better than the original Hendrix version ... and thats something i thought i would never say

  • Thank you, that's a huge compliment. Personally, I think that nothing is better than the original, I just try to put a little spin on it as a solo guitarist but I'm certainly glad you're enjoying it.

  • hello  felicitation very sensitive version!!!

    can we find "tabs or notes" about your version ?

    thanks

  • Hello and thank you! I can make a DVD lesson for you, I'll send you a message through your channel to explain.

  • this is absolutely beautiful!

    this is a work of art and I bet it took you a very long time to get that down.

    I'm loving it

  • better than the original, this is truely brilliant

  • mental skillz

  • sounds good what kind of guitar amp you use

  • You are amaaazing. It is nice to see that some people actually are still musicians even though a lot of music these days sucks.

  • This is a beautiful rendition of this great song. I like how you fuse the melody within your guitar playing, it will take years of practice for me to get to that stage of playing.

  • ouah vraiment magnifique cette version!!!

  • That's amazing!! I love the song...oldies 4 life! please watch my drum cover and rate n' tell me what u think too..

  • Absolutely amazing! I would definitely pay to see you play. Favorited!

  • Thank you! Please subscribe, plenty more to come...

  • I have a feeling that Jake was playing like this when John Mayer was still dragging on a teat.

  • I like your John Mayer style of guitar playing. i'm surprised you don't have more views. This is awesome

  • That was so Kick ass!!! I would love it if you could just teach a few parts of that. your chorus part of this is so good. but I think all of it is better that good.

  • Thanks so much! Actually, I have been doing quite a bit of video lessons and can do a complete study of this and any other tune you'd like, and put it on a DVD for you. Please let me know if you're interested. Thanks again!

  • i think we're all interested man ahah

  • yes, what is available now?

  • Thanks for inquiring! At this time I already have complete DVD lessons of the songs "Lately" and "Creepin'" by Stevie Wonder, "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson and a particularly cool DVD of the standard "Do nothing 'till you hear from me". They are all at least an hour long, very detailed, very well shot and recorded. Please contact me through the channel to learn about the cost of these as well as the cost of a "by request" brand new video made just for you. Thanks again!

  • wow this is almost better than jimi himself. i don't even know what to say...incredible

  • outstanding!!!!!!! i m speechless........

  • That's insane! NICE JOB! You blew me away!

  • hello, j'adore le style , c'est d'enfer!

  • awesome! tabs, music anywhere? i'd like to get my hands on some

  • Thank you! I wish I had TABs, I could probably sell them... My arrangements are all in my head so I can't help at this time, sorry. If at some point the demand is huge enough I'll do it, but it's pretty grueling work. Please subscribe and stay tuned. Thanks again!

  • very nice

  • I LIIIIIIIKKEE

  • great man! Your playing reminds me a bit of Tuck Andress. Have you studied somewere or by yourself¿?

  • Thanks. I am self taught and of course I have listened to, and admired Tuck Andress. I am working constantly to improve my right hand, maybe one day I'll play half a good as he does... What I do different is that I add some jazz improve to every tune I play so I think of my style as a combination of Tuck and Joe Pass. Please check out my other videos and please subscribe. Thanks again!

  • wow, congratulations! You will do us, me specially, if maybe you give us some tips on how to study, or your way to aproach something you want to study. I sometimes have trouble with that... dont know a method of study or a way to see something. And I just start to play solos by ear of my favorite artists... but its too long and dificult just by ear! haha... Thanks bro

  • I've been looking for some tips on how to make this a good solo number to play - and your version is the best interpretation I've seen - thanks!

  • How is it you are not a household name??? That was amazing!! Truly fantastic! Do you have a CD?

  • Thanks very much. The answer that I prefer is that I just have to continue to practice and improve until I'm good enough. The other types of answers, such as the state of the music industry today and the dire state of live gigs are of the type that would lead one to quit playing and for now I'd rather not do that... If you haven't done so yet, please subscribe. Thanks again!

  • I really love the grooviness you added. Spiced up the song nicely. That steady bass... awesome. :-)

  • Beautiful.

  • This sounds so good! One of the best songs ever, and played beautifully! Thanks man!

  • You rock man!

  • DrewAnti1960 sent this my way.Very,very cool.Good job man-you're subbed!!

  • Thanks, that's very kind. Hendrix's genius was in his inventivness and originality. The rest of us can just try to follow, possibly make some minor variations or alterations and hope that he'd approve.

  • Thanks to Drew for sending me this vid. Sooo cool! Haven´t heard a jazz version before of this great song. Bravo, 10/10.

  • Sweet!

  • that's great man (':

  • cool man,best original version of this i have ever seen,great job 5*****s

  • great job! question: do you perform on that monster behind and to the right of you? the one looks to have 10 or more strings?

  • Hi Chris, great videos as usual, thanks for sharing. That monster is a 9 string guitar. I designed it and had it built for me in 1992 by Bill Michaelis at Axtra guitars in Kenosha, WI. Despite being able to claim that I had this musical approach before many others, it's a bit of an empty claim, as I hardly did anything worthy with it, sticking primarily to the regular guitar. I recently restrung it and I'll try to practice and perhaps upload something, I'll keep you posted. Talk to you soon.

  • very nice version, I like it.

  • OMG! My face is melting!

  • Such a great song, and you played it very well. Keep making these videos! The McCartney and Miles Davis ones are great too. I'll be viewing all of them.
