[charliemctruth]

I started out tonight searching for every version I could find of this wonderful tune. From the sublime., to the heartfelt endeavours of folk who spin it in their own way. You sit comfortably in the latter category..

[roccoscirocco]

@charliemctruth Thank you so much for listening! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[ninogitaar]

i cant find any tabs or chords they way you play it, could you tell me the chords please, cause its sounds great !

thx ;)

[equusdesign]

Nice version.

For clarity, Jimi Hendrix played a righty Strat upside down but reversed the strings. Elizabeth Cotten and Bill Staines play(ed) a righty upside down without changing the strings, like roccoscirocco. Amazing feat.

[roccoscirocco]

@equusdesign Thanks! And you are correct, I never understood why Jimi did that, it doesn't seem to serve any purpose? Other than the volume and tone knobs being in the way. :) I'm considering finding a lefty body and restringing it righty.

[MusicManBW23]

@roccoscirocco Jimi did that because at the time left handed guitars were more expensive so he got a right handed one and turned it around. He did it for so long its felt natural to him so he just continued to do it.

[roccoscirocco]

@MusicManBW23 Now that you say that, it makes perfect sense. Hadn't thought of that!

[justuandi1969]

@starsrought Thank you  :)

[rastamaniakTHC]

I have the same guitar its amazing :D And its cool to play like Jimi Hendrix :D Can you tell me what gauge and brand of strings do you use?

[roccoscirocco]

I use ElixIr Nanoweb medium gauge. I love them! They last a long time and sound great! They are more expencive than other strings but they make all the difference in the world. Thanks for commenting!

[Grafikbug]

Well done!

[kc7wwy]

[0911grinna]

Very comfortable listening mate; well done. Your guitar sounds perfect, and although you do not show the guitar head, I would say it is an Ibinez and I must have its brother.

Once again, you are just awesome. You just got another subscriber, and I hope to hear/see more from you. Seriously, you're just a great artist.

Lovin' the Hendrix style lefty/upside-down playing too, haha.

[roccoscirocco]

Thanks so much! I really need to get on that!!! hahaha! I'm kinda in the middle of setting up a new music room/recording area.Not long now! Thanks again!

[ToniMattTony]

great job love that song brings me back to when i was in grammar school. I had this kid in my class Billy everyone picked on him and even hit him. I was a sad time in my life your song took me back. Again when music moves some ones mind to another time then you know it was done right!!! great job again!!!! Tony w.

Is the guitar strung for a right-handed player? It sure looks like it.

Good job on the improvisation and vocals!

[roccoscirocco]

Ya it is,thats just the way I learned. Thanks for the kind words!!!!

[trippinferris]

Awesome! I love it! I think you should cover a Melissa Ferrick song, that would make me VERY happy!

[IckaStorm]

I love it! Great job! I love your hat, too! I'm gonna have to try that on next time I see you. This is so good! I guess you're new guitar isn't all that bad. =D
