The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix Cover

[TheEarthtone9]

That was amazing. :) I don't suppose you could put the tab of this on ultimate guitar or something? No worries if you can't.

[motorpsych0]

@TheEarthtone9 : I tried that, but it's harder than it looks (to make tab). Thanks for watching.

[TheEarthtone9]

@motorpsych0 Oh okay fair enough. :) thanks anyway

[tabulaerasae82]

very nice job indeed ! been trying to learn this for ages , this video helped alot . You look like frank zappa to lol

[motorpsych0]

@tabulaerasae82 : Glad I could help! Thanks for watching... =)

[cisseusa123]

I've played this in standard tuning....Is it not in standard?

[motorpsych0]

@cisseusa123: This is Jimi's tuning...Eb (one half step down)

[cisseusa123]

@motorpsych0 I'm almost positive the album version is in standard EADGBE. I've played the solo on my guitar multiple times whilst listening to the song and the pitch is definitely correct.

[dogalow1]

Please repost Bold As Love, loved watching you rip on that Vid. No one even comes close to you on that song.

Best Regards

[motorpsych0]

@dogalow1 : The record label took it down, and YouTube threatened to take down my entire channel. Thanks for watching the Bold As Love video when you could!

[Spongolese]

lots like ur tuning is changed?

[motorpsych0]

@Spongolese : I use Jimi's tuning....Eb.

[stratocaster844]

skillful playing! Good job !

[motorpsych0]

@stratocaster844 : Thank you!  =)

[freaksnowboarder1]

That was great great great -- chris from south dakota!!!!

[motorpsych0]

@freaksnowboarder1 : Thanks, Chris! =D

[Rocco9457]

Great job!!! You hit it out of the park. Rocco from Alabama

[motorpsych0]

@Rocco9457 : Thanks, Rocco!

[afro20man]

You have really inspirational videos thanks for putting the effort and time into putting these on youtube! By the way--theres nothing wrong with your face :-)

[Matty664]

AWESOME JOB! I do almost everything I cover by ear, self trained, I love it! Now I finally see someone with soul, not just playing the notes! GOOD SHOW! 5 people wish they had your talent, for those looking for CORRECT tabs, it's called GUITAR WORLD, ANDY ALEDORT!-Subscribe Today, Not that hard yo..Like 20 bucks for a year! LOL:-) That does look to be that your tuned to E, playng it a half step down right?.. either way ROCK ON!:-)

[motorpsych0]

@Matty664 : Thanks, Matty! Playing by ear is easiest anyway for players like us. =)

[RedDaawg]

When I watch people try and get close- and think they are playing it closer than they really are, it makes me wonder if they have ever stopped to listen to what they are doing. This was great.

[motorpsych0]

@RedDaawg : Thanks for that, man! =)

[Rich4173]

you played it on the money. Keeping it simple as is was written.

[pluxplox]

Wow man that's amazing, playing a cover of this at my school concert, would love to know where you got this tab from? Cheers man !

[motorpsych0]

@pluxplox : I learned it by ear, but I would guess good tab is out there.

[mwilhelmus]

@motorpsych0 What tuning are you playing in?

[Rich4173]

You played it simple like it was played by Hendrix. Great cover.

[stoffel0001]

I like your Jimi Hendrix covers and this one is my favorite. I'me learning this song and maybyI put it on youtube.

Thanks!

Christophe from Belgium

[filo692]

very good cover

[JFrusciante4life]

Amazing! I think you play it too perfectly haha :)

[walacemb]

oh my fuckin nuts that shit was good, just like in the real one man ,congratulations

[motorpsych0]

@walacemb : Thanks, man!

[guitarfreak651]

@motorpsych0 dude nice lead with the wind cries mary man plus ive been wondering ive been thinkin about gettin a white strat but yours looks amazing is it some sort of yellow or tan?

[motorpsych0]

@guitarfreak651 : It is Vintage White, but the paint has naturally "yellowed" with age. NOTE: the painted headstock. Fender made only 500 of these in 1995-1996.

[ghost6392]

@motorpsych0 pretty cool

[thegoon459]

are u tuned down half a step...i think this song is in standard tunig

[motorpsych0]

@thegoon459 : Jimi usually tuned down to Eb, so I do it there. Works for me! =)

[jlf56]

great job!

[motorpsych0]

@jlf56 : Thank you, jlf! =)

[Glassandcandy]

jimmi would be proud

[DennChooch]

his facial feautures remind me of zappa, his playing reminds me of jimi, which makes sense since he's playing a jimi song. nice, good job.

[motorpsych0]

@TheDCRocka : It's a Mesa DC-5. Thanks for watching! =)

[MrGlynndon]

that was cool!

[thundersteve1566]

My favorite song! Great job!!

[kevinlowk11]

DUDE!! YOU KICK ASS!!

[CrossTRK]

I remember sitting in Jimi's dad's living room in Seattle in 1966 and Jimi played that tune. I was working at KYAC radio back then. Thanks for the memories motorpsych0

[motorpsych0]

@CrossTRK : SO COOL that you were there! Wow! =)

[WHW20GMH]

@CrossTRK Your youtube says your only 49 unless you worked at like 5 years old. :P

Such a fantastic tune, If anything Jimi is underrated for his song writing ability and great cover man.

[ewmehmo]

im in love with your fender

8D

[trailblazer225]

Hey great cover? I was wondering where you got the backing track or if you made it yourself.

[motorpsych0]

Thanks, man!

I found the backing track on eBay a few years ago.

[TheMysticAudio]

You nailed it again! Man.. you're goo00o0000ood. :)

[Satyr1975]

Pretty much perfect....nice job!

[flashpadxxx]

Are you tuned in Eb??The backing is in E right?

[motorpsych0]

It's all Eb...tuning and backing track. This was pretty much Jimi's standard tuning. =)

[drawdarocks]

again, spot on

[1NewUser4Me]

where did you get a backing track like that or did you make it?

Thanks!

[motorpsych0]

I found it on eBay a few years ago! Very cool CD!

[1NewUser4Me]

sweet... if you get a chance can you post the exact name so i can look around for it.

Thanks!

[bluesrigby]

I love your covers! It's obvious you are a true Hendrix fan. I can see the emotion you put into you're Jimi covers. I've been watching your vids for awhile now, and I can't help but notice today you've met Randy Hansen! I saw him this summer @Rockin' the Rivers in Three Forks, MT. Amazing! After seeing him, something just clicked, you know? I have a white fender pick I caught from him in the crowd. [: Anyways, keep it up man!

[motorpsych0]

Yeah, Randy is the BEST!

I also caught one of his picks! Mine is a white "Dean Markley" Medium (M).

Thanks for watching, bluerigsby!

[norcosix1995]

What guitar are you using? great cover by the way! =)

[motorpsych0]

It's a '96 USA Strat.

Thanks for watching, NC61995!

[bigdautorio]

It looks like a Hendrix custom model

[xxsolidsteelxx]

very good, just wish the guitar was a little louder its hard to hear in some parts

[PLUMPER101]

dude you already have almost all the best hendrix songs on here ever considered doing all along the watchtower its not too complicated i think u got it

[amused18]

Great job man. Did you figure it out yourself or did you look up a tab?

[motorpsych0]

I play by ear. It's the only way I know! =)

[emyandmatty]

simply amazing..

[eipylOh]

[amlahguitar]

[gunlover93]

started out execellent, and just got better and better as it went on. 5 stars.

[JimmyChiffels]

I think most jimi's songs are result of his rythm guitar work...

[reevolution137]

Zappa, what happened to your imperial? Good disguise

[funnyShit508]

if you didnt had it i bet women would do everything to get you.. seriously

btw.: i used to listen a lot of hendrix and all that old stuff but i didn't really like it... just because adults hear it it doesnt mean it has to like me too... i'm busy with a total new music type.

but awesome playing :)

5*

[SarethStorm]

Like the original! Try to find a drummer, someone on the bass and maybe a singer!

[destinyabby]

Awesome, I'll learn this by watching your video. I only wish you'd post a guitar lesson for this song.

[sussexcounty]

Awesome job man!

[motorpsych0]

[adamloveselement]

That was amazing dude! Keep rocking bro.

[motorpsych0]

Thanks, Adam!

[spider5001]

Ya i suffer from short thumb syndrome too LOL =)

[SlappieBob]

I hate it so much that I can't really play Hendrix songs:( My thumb doesn't work, which makes it really hard to play some of his chords:(

[motorpsych0]

You'll get that down someday...I'm sure!

[spider5001]

do you think you could do a cover of "have you ever been"? realy tight playin man =)

[motorpsych0]

Man, I don't even know how to approach that song!

Maybe someday... =)

Thanks for watching, spider5001!

[Sabored]

you look like frank zappa when you look directly down

[motorpsych0]

That's cool...I get that comparison a lot!!! =D

[Hebdula]

Awesome sound and great playing! Nice...

[stoffel0001]

Indeed I alsow think that the wind cries mary one of his best songs is.

Very nice cover.I like it a lot. I'me still learning the song but when it's good enough mayby I put it on youtube.

The original way to play this song, do you have to put the guitar a1/2 step down?

greetz

Christophe

Belgium

[motorpsych0]

Yes, I'm tuned down to Eb.

Thanks for the comment, stoffel0001!

[CypherCod]

Not really, i just play in standard E but one fret lower. it depends how do you want to play it.

[ElectronicAnthem]

Very nice. You strum quite near the neck, especially in the beginning, is that intentional?

[motorpsych0]

I like the softer/mellow tone that I get from the neck pickup when I strum around the 20th fret during the verses. I move towards the bridge for the lead solo section, so I get a little more edge from the neck pickup.

Thanks for watching, EA!

[stratocasterbeast]

Hey great job

How long have you been playing?

[motorpsych0]

Thanks, SCBeast!

I have played as a hobby since I was a teenager.

=)

[lkendall108]

Where do you learn your music from?

[motorpsych0]

I just sit down and figure it out!

That's about it!!! =D

[guth4n17]

what amp are you using?

[motorpsych0]

My amp is a Mesa/Boogie DC-5.

[achura15]

beatiful!!! great cover jimi 4 ever!!!

[motorpsych0]

Thanks, achura!

[uvit]

good job motorpsych0!

look at my version.

[motorpsych0]

OK, Will do!

[theps3gangster]

very good is fantastic this song is in guitar hero world tour too

[motorpsych0]

Thanks, gangsta! =D

[sirchrissypoo]

Very cool. Loved your playing on this song. Definitely did the man justice.

[motorpsych0]

Thanks, man! =D

[SpeakToMe73]

where do you get your backing tracks? Great cover.

[praisetodd]

I found the backing tracks on eBay about two years ago. Very cool CD!

Thanks for watching, STM73!

[Malosovich]

its the album

[Ktallica]

You should do All Along the Watchtower (If you Havent Yet). This is one of my favorite Hendrix songs. Great Job Recreating the legend with such perfection.

[ACDCKissLuki]

Very good !!! Is that a American Standard ?

[motorpsych0]

Yes, it's a 1996 USA Strat w/ CS '54 pickups.

[KAMON1973]

You done my favourite Hendrix song justice. Nice one! man.

[motorpsych0]

Thanks, KAMON!

[zdrumdude]

The Experience Channel on Sirius/XM

[motorpsych0]

Hell yeah!

[zdrumdude]

I agree with the overplaying. I just wish he had his own channel on Sirius/XM like Elvis and Sinatra do. Even the Grateful Dead. Etc. Great rendition dude. You are talented for sure.

[motorpsych0]

Dang good idea...a dedicated station on Sirius/XM.

They should call it: "Radio EXP"

Thanks for the comments, zdrumdude!

[richardpeej]

Hey Mr Motorpsych0 -very good rendition sir! you play this great -it must have taken a long while to learn this one in all this detail.

Cheers

Rich

[motorpsych0]

Hey Richard!

It did take a while to learn the phrasing, but actual playing was fairly easy to figure out.

Thanks for watching, man! =D

[ams914]

I've noticed you've got a lot of hendrix covers. you should try Rock Me Baby, I think it'd be really awesome. great playing BTW.

[motorpsych0]

Hmmm...Rock Me Baby...I'll give it a listen, and see if I'm inspired.

Thanks for watching, ams914!

[dbikeguy]

helluva tone man

[motorpsych0]

Yeah, I'm shooting for Jimi's tone here!

[haithereeimpeter]

great cover man!

wish i'd known you could get a backing track to play along to like that when i did my version. nice strat too.

[motorpsych0]

Thanks, haithereeimpeter!

[MarClapton]

where did u find the tab??!! you're amazing!!

[motorpsych0]

I play by ear, man! No tabs used here.

Thanks, MarClapton!

[Bernler75]

Damn! This sure brings back memories! :D

It makes me cry happy tears.

Jimi in all our hearts forever!

[motorpsych0]

Glad 'ya dig it, Bernler75! =)

Jimi lives on YouTube!

[koennie3332]

I like your video:)

Jimi Hendrix is i think happy that some people play this song good:)

[motorpsych0]

Thank you, koennie!
