Amzing stuff! Id be even greater if you were able to get some camera guy filming it, making it more visually interesting (I know its youtube, but hey, I still whish)!
wow man you really capture hendrix, definately the best cover i have ever heard. i can't imagine how you are able to sound so similar, must be a lot of passion, keep up the amazing music
Hey Ryano50, FYI, some left handers do play "upside down" with the high E at the top of the neck. But Jimi (and the guy in this video) did not. Watch him hit the the low E and you'll see what I mean. Hendrix did, however, play a right-handed guitar strung upside down (as is this guy), giving him the advatage of controlling the volume and tone knobs with his forearm. And playing a strat (unlike this guy) resulted in the low E string having the longest length which contributed to his tone.
I know some left handed guitarists do play upside down, albert king for example. But the person that left the comment said that he is playing upside down, we must have different meanings of upside down
No, you don't understand. He isnt "playing" upside down as someone before me said, he is playing the same way as right handed guitarists only the opposite way round. His guitar is simply a right handed guitar re-strung. Does that make sense?
ha ha its like isle of wight version...hendrix always have lucky times and unlucky times,,,that day was his day,,he played the song beautifully while in other places he fucked it up...he is so musical that he does way he wants at the moment..
i cant read sing or play music ,but to my ears they have to most authentic hendrix sound.and i,ve been listening to hendrix for over 30 years.any chance of playing the spiders web. grimsby. uk
Who the hell is that guy. I haven't heard guitar played like that since SRV. Never seen the emotion of machine gun captured in a cover he had the right tone and he is good.
Jimi did play that way no one could beat Jimi this guy is great but what Jimi did New year's Night 1969 will never be matched, it wasn't even matched by Jimi himself.
What a sound. Great job.
