*with vocals* Have You Ever Been (to Electric Ladyland) [Jimi Hendrix Cover]

This song was written by Jimi Hendrix. It appears on his 1968 album, Electric Ladyland.

I intend to record another video cover of this song with flute playing added, but I'm too excited about this cover to wait until I have the flute arrangement down. As far as I know, this is the only video of this song, as of right now, that has simultaneous guitar playing and singing.

you are one of my new favorite guitarist ;-)

[GarrettWadeD]

@yungdub29 Thanks a lot, man. I only wish I had some good original material to show you.

Probably my fave cover on youtube - props to you m"man!

1) What's incredible is when you think about it that Hendrix wrote the song & was most likely just flowing with that rich vocabulary of chord inversions, voicing / add ons & comps...as he was singing it to himself & comping these jazz / gospel / blues / country chord voicing....BOGGLES THE MIND TALENT.

Like a fluent musical conversation.

2) did U learn from the record or tabs?

3) The black crowes was influenced by the end part

@novanine9 Thank you! I learned mostly by tab, but figured out some inaccuracies by ear. You know the solo guitar, demo version? I took mainly the licks from that version (although not much different) and applied them to the song structure of the album version. And I love Hendrix's chord melody style; I feel it's the highlight of his innovations. I want to explore that style more in my own writing, but with a different feel. Frusciante has added to the style well, too, I think.

like the song wasnt hard enough to play, you had to also sing it...good job! didn't expect it to be THIS good!

[thbluespro]

Killer man, great job!

[NANDO218]

you play very good. but one thing that not many people are talking about is your voice. its all around a good cover man.

[claptoncla]

Very good and amazing cover :-)

[xxblindchild]

dude where did you get that acoustic??????

[VastClown87]

OMG EPIC

[virtuoso1997]

YOU ARE GOD.

[Trendmunger]

Really well done, Mister. Hats off!

I usually don´t jerk around but what I find really annoying is all these guys asking for bloody tabs. Here are these gifted people, showing what you got to do straight in your face, but you´re still asking for your silly tabs. Maybe you should ask for someone putting your fingers at the right place, so you got nothing to do atall. Seems your totally lost without someone chewing the stuff for you. Tabs are for nerds, Malmsteemidiots, goandbegyourmamaformercy!
