"One Rainy Wish" by Jimi Hendrix - Cover by Buddy Clontz

[67Jimbob]

Really nice work. Mind if I ask what effects you used to get the tones?

[BuddyClontz]

@67Jimbob Thanks! If I remember correctly, It was mostly just the Fender Strat, Fender Hot Rod Deville 4-10 and some compression.

[h4ckb0x7]

@BuddyClontz I utterly mean no disrespect by this, you did an amazing job. The only qualm I had is that some of the parts seem too "country", I think that comes down to the tone from the Hot Rod more than your playing. Especially around the 1:43 mark when you get into the lick full of bends. Great Job!!

[BuddyClontz]

@h4ckb0x7 Yeah...I did make it sound a bit "country" at times...LOL

[SaintClarity]

Love that shimmering almost brittle tone. Very nice!!!

[BuddyClontz]

@SaintClarity Thanks

[adamdavidwilson1]

Nailed the intro my friend

[BattleshipJules]

absolutely righteous man.

[BuddyClontz]

@BattleshipJules Thanks!

[mnight207]

Buddy, ive always enjoyed your playing. U inspire jus like hendrix, van halen, eric gales and all those other bad ass guitar players. Buddy, youre playing is pure sweetness!!!!!

[BuddyClontz]

@mnight207 Many thanks to you! This summer I plan on sitting down and doing a few more videos. It's been a while and I've been busy but I should have some time to play a little this summer and I'm looking forward to it.

[mnight207]

@BuddyClontz No doubt. I have a request if you're willing to take on the challenge of Hendrix again? How about playing his Bold As Love instrumental? It's about 7 mins long but its so sweet. What do ya think?

[BuddyClontz]

@mnight207 I may do that one. I've always liked that tune.

[Django5198]

What scales are used in this btw?

[mbcNOOFS]

wow, great cover man. Do you know of anywhere that I can find tableture or sheet music for this song?

[BuddyClontz]

@mbcNOOFS Thanks! No Tabs, I play by ear.

[mbcNOOFS]

@BuddyClontz jeez, hats off to ya. I bet all those speedy harmonics were tricky to figure out

[zreau]

Smooooooooooooth and that's my dream guitar right there!

[OhYeah729]

@zreau lol a 73 strat?

[handtricks]

very nice cover Buddy really caught the vibe here ,rock on brother !

[BuddyClontz]

@handtricks Thanks!

[jzf128]

just perfect.

[Methhoven]

this is truely amazing ! you are epic ... i mean, always when i heard that song, i thought it was impossible to play. but man, congrats for this piece of awesomeness !

[Django5198]

Absolutely amazing cover. You play so fluidly and tightly. It's a very complex song so man great job!!! Just imagine being able to write this!!!!!! Trippiest song ever

[BuddyClontz]

@Django5198 Thank you!

[ronross411]

dude you fuckin kill it. im tryin to get that good.ha

[alexfranklin]

what effects and amp do you use?

[BuddyClontz]

@alexfranklin I was using my Fender Hot Rod Deville 4-10. I may have used a very slight delay if anything but generally, I just plug into the amp and play.

[BuddyClontz]

@jwinston46 Yes I played this in standard tuning.

[88lopez4music]

You should do Lesson videos for hendrix songs. Im Positive many people would appreciate it very much. exspecialy this one, ive always wanted to learn it but i cant figure out about half of it by ear.

[BuddyClontz]

@tarmanaziz1972 Thank you!

[88lopez4music]

@BuddyClontz You should do Lesson videos on youtube for hendrix songs. Im Positive many people would appreciate it very much. exspecialy this one, ive always wanted to learn it but i cant figure out about half of it by ear.

[KalimeroVFX]

Very good!!! Congrats!!

[firefall1964]

nice creeam poster

[bullx2]

Fantastic, you nailed the man. Congrads from a man who has been a fan since 68', did my heart good. jeff

[horbergaren]

you sure caught the mystique in it

[exileskim09]

nice tone, and good playing too, this is by far one of my favorite jimi songs.

[nickakanick]

great!

[BoldAsLove27]

You wouldnt happen to know the chords would you?

[BuddyClontz]

@BoldAsLove27 I play by ear...so I don't usually even think in terms of chords.

[stratdem]

the 2007 highway one sss strats remind me

of the 1973 strats.

[elmancho]

Brilliant ! Thank you so much.

[joekiener]

fantastic !!!

[acuity67]

Just out of curiousity, why do you write in third person in your description?

[BuddyClontz]

@acuity67 Because when someone reads the description, I am more than likely to be a stranger to them so in my opinion, it simply "reads better" for anyone who cares to read it. I don't read them after I write them so it doesn't have any effect on me...and as you can see, I don't answer questions in third person. :-)

[G19653]

awsome that means you have perfect pitch i would do any thing for that! reading musics easy compared to getting relative pitch, just take a few classes and if you studyd it you could get it down in a month or two. you could write your own stuff than?

[G19653]

[G19653]

how long did it take you to get an ear like that to be able to sound out a whole song. if you could think way back to when you first started playing that be cool. sick cover

[BuddyClontz]

@G19653 Thanks! Actually, this is something I could always do even as a child...which is why I never took the time to learn how to read music(which I now regret).

[testekleez]

★★★★★

[musicman89l]

i think i nutted when you hit that solo

[ricky6565]

Good rendition

[kitsunethefox]

Did you sound this out by ear or do you have tabs/sheet music to share? :)

Awesome playing dude

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I play by ear...No Tabs...No Sheet Music.

[simonsmanor]

Ace! great tone!

[icebytes]

excellent man, i don´t see miss notes

[Acidbuddha]

This is one of my favorite songs Jimi wrote. I had been listening to Lenny by SRV then i heard this tune and was like....YES! How long have you been playing?

[BuddyClontz]

A long time now...LOL

[thelatestttplague]

This is beautiful

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks!

[megalol123]

Nice work!

[HawkStudio]

Excellent man...excellent. You definitely nailed the flavor on this one. Thanks for posting.

[BuddyClontz]

Thank you!

[radicals88]

Very Sweet BC. Excellent!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! It's just the one small room...but I am building an addition that is about 4 time the size of that space that will be the new place I put all of my instruments and pop art collection. The rest of my place is more on the traditional/formal side.

[Percolater]

I really enjoyed watching your cover! It was perfect - 5 stars :)

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! -BC

[guitar19904]

did u tab by ear ?

[BuddyClontz]

I don't bother with tabs. I always play totally by ear.

[guitar19904]

excellent cover by the way

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You!

[capkutay]

good stuff! could i ask what your amp settings are? you have great jimi tone!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! Basically I turn the Bass and treble up pretty high(7-9) and the mid-range down to around 4...and that's about it really. The rest is in the fingers and guitar. -BC

[Revilingfool]

good stuff

[stratdem]

great job buddy! try a 2007 highway one sss stratocaster.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks!  -BC

[dff27]

oh and your really good i left that part out

[dff27]

[BuddyClontz]

It just isn't me...LOL

[wilshirejkk]

Very nice good sir. An excellent song performed flawlessly!

[BuddyClontz]

Thank you! -BC

[revolutionoctave]

nice job man one of my favorite hendrix song when will you be making more videos

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I'll do some more videos as I get the time. It's been a very busy time for me the last few months. -BC

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! -BC

[darkhorse008]

my favorite song by the man! nice dude

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[lsdman14]

i hate it when people just ask people covering stuff on the tube for tabs... Most people figured it out themselves and on top of that people try to get them to "make" a tab and post it up on the computer and send it to them... Those have to be some annoying comments. People be a little independent! Great cover and sound bc!

[luizfelipels7]

on the other half, i don't like when people get selfish about knowledge and just won't share a chord or something... stupidest thing ever...

[samucalencar1]

Very nice. Diggin your vid here and the groove you put in the song. :)

[jayz6288]

I'm curious, how long have you been playing guitar?

[BuddyClontz]

I've played guitar off and on since the late 1970's. -BC

[frankenstein909]

Beautiful, wonderful! Thanks!

I used to have that same guitar, but sounds like that never came out of it while in my hands.... Were you using any effects in this song? Boy, what a beautiful ringing sound!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I think I used a little compression and a very slight delay just to make the sound "bigger". -BC

[dompascarella]

so beautiful!

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! I'm glad you liked the cover. It's a great song by Hendrix and often overlooked. -BC

[dinose4105]

Great Cover dude, can you post like a tab or song sheet.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I play by ear so I don't have Tabs or written music. -BC

[yosamsam7]

hey great song man, and how do you like that amp? i dont know if i should get the hot rod deville 4x10 or the hot rod re-issue 4x10. any advice?

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! All I can say is that overall...I really like my Hot Rod Deville 4-10 amp...especially for clean sounds. -BC

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! My guitar is in standard tuning for every song I have posted on You Tube. As far as theory and all of that...I don't bother with it. I play by ear...so I play what I am hearing in a song when I listen to it...and sometimes I make a few changes here and there just to put a little different spin on it. -BC

[samuraiporno]

very nice.keep rocking friend.

we all have some intergalactic magic dust from jimmy´s soul on us.

saludos.

[BuddyClontz]

Thank you. -BC

[4runner39]

excellent playing!!my god,that's a complex tune

[Slider388]

aww man that start just sounds so beautiful.

Great cover, thanks for the music!

[BuddyClontz]

Thank you! -BC

[ZeppelinHendrix420]

Love the trippy projector.

[leadstrat]

Buddy, what can I say... this tops everything I've seen from you so far. This is one of those Hendrix jewels a lot of people haven't heard. And that CBS era strat definitely captures the sound well. Well, well done my friend! BTW, I did get that Deluxe V-neck, and I am in love with guitar playing again. Aren't you in NC, Buddy? If so, we should jam sometime! - Bill

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks Bill! I am in NC. Where are you? -BC

[leadstrat]

You're welcome! The wife's a fan too. We're in Greensboro.

[BuddyClontz]

I was in Greensboro about 2 weeks ago. I have family(Aunts, Uncles, Cousins) that live in the area.  I go up once in a while to see them. I'll have to take a guitar with me and maybe I'll see you around sometime. -BC

[mmjaljs]

Way to work it Buddy! Good job brotha...I mean that's real nice!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[markiskool92]

take it by the kinda music you like and ur back ground effects you maybe did a bit of acid or ur fair share of pot when you where younger?

sorry if not. your a great guitarist and you have covered some great classic songs. inspirational (y)

[BuddyClontz]

No...I was not into drugs...and never have cared for that side of things. That is probably why I was able to get a good education and have a successful career. I grew up in the era of this music and there was a lot of that stuff around...but I just didn't care for it. The music and the art were the things I liked...and still do. Thanks for watching! -BC

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! I just play by ear so I do what I do and once in a while it works out. -BC

[thebeatlesyellowsub]

This is the greatest Hendrix cover that I have ever seen!

[leeBwatson]

IMMENSE !

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I think the guy who commented under you didn't like it or me too much..I'm still breathing though...LOL -BC

[leeBwatson]

who bassface36............just call him bumface36 or something lol he's probably just jealous!

[TJLethal21]

Buddy, that was amazing. My favorite Hendrix song done right. Would u consider doing a cover of "May This Be Love"? I think you'd nail it.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! You know...I might do that one down the road when I get some time. I haven't played it in a while but I used to know it well. It is also one of my favorite Hendrix tunes. - BC

[js7389]

nice job man that was awesome. great song choice

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[Vaidrix]

BTW one of Hendrix 3 best songs, great choice to cover.

[Vaidrix]

great job man, good feel all that stuff.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[MrEnormous52]

Great cover of a great song. Always good to see someone playing Hendrix songs right and so accurately.  By the way, if you find the time, it'd be cool if you covered some Clapton songs.

[BuddyClontz]

THanks! I'll be doing some more Clapton/Cream material some time this year I hope. -BC

[dmasta91]

Awesome cover again. Do you learn these songs by ear?

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I play be ear only. Most songs I can play within a few minutes of hearing them and sometimes immediately after hearing them. -BC

[bassface36]

yea keep braggin jk :)

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks JFL ! -BC

[Muggwhumpp]

Hi Buddy,

I've been a Hendrix fan since the 60's and I just wanted to thank you for letting us "Experience" these with you.

I've yet to hear anyone that can play Jim's music like you can...... keep playing my friend, you're doin Jimi proud.

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! -BC

[TheSupremeGenius]

You've definitely got the "String Theory" figured out.

[BuddyClontz]

Are we talking the "Physics" of the guitar?...LOL -BC

[shogundingo]

Hey Buddy! Just leaving a comment after watching (and re-watching) you videos many times... you definitely inspire me and encourage procrastination during finals time! F.Y.I. Eric Johnson does an amazing version of this song you should check out

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! Eric Johnson is amazing period! I met him once and he was a very nice guy to talk to. He signed my old "Tones" LP and we talked a while and took some photos. I have always felt that he was very special and in a category all by himself. An amazing musician... -BC

[HigherGround86]

beautiful!!!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[gasmaskattack]

that was amazing...very nice very nice, im trying to learn this song too

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[amberbrittt]

wow. I love Jimi and you did him justice. BEAUTIFUL!

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! -BC

[codehendrix]

u smooth... real good feel

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[JohnnyJ1027]

Man.... I'll tell ya what, as a novice guitar player and avid Jimi Hendrix fan, I really get kicks out of watching that. I wish I lived close to you so I could watch you play that in person. One of Jimi's best, in my opinion... Well done!

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You1 -BC

[crkycorey]

is that by chance a blues junior in the background, if so, its my favorite amp

[BuddyClontz]

The amp in the background is one of my Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4-10 amps. I like them a lot but the are heavy as lead and loud! -BC

[Silencer84]

Hey i commented some time ago but i will again:

Keep up the great playing, you play with style and feeling, with amazing sound. And that is rare nowadays, where 'good' guitarists are considered the ones that play the fastest. No, this is what guitar is all about. Thank you for this great cover of a great song! PS, how long have you been playing? Cheers!

[BuddyClontz]

Thank you for your kind words! You know...I can play a lot faster, etc. but to me that isn't what it is about. I like music that has depth and emotion to it. I've been playing off and on about 30 years now. I have also played the drums for roughly 40 years now. -BC

[mnight207]

Id pay to watch u play any day

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks!  You can send it via Pay Pal...LOL -BC

[mnight207]

ive always loved your playing and your style, all i can say is that youre a nasty nasty man, dont worry, thats a good thing

[gingerusmaximus]

man thats incredible! your a legend. peace man

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[Silencer84]

The sounds amazing and you play with such cool. Thank you for this!

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! -BC

[Silencer84]

Hi again! I just learned to play this song today: Vaughandrix

Check it on youtube ;) It's a great instrumental tribute for SRV and Jimi. I'm amazed i can play it :D

Cheers
