My improvisational interpretation of the Jimi Hendrix classic hit, "Hey Joe," written by Billy Roberts in 1962.

This is a song that I could probably improvise for an hour straight. I never play it the same way twice :)

  • Sure sounds like a DM12, even with the soundhole taped over.

  • @zenwhips Thanks. Couldn't really afford the DM12, this guitar is an Ibanez Performance. Soundhole is covered to prevent feedback from a cheap mic I threw in it. A side benefit is that the twin-paper plate cover acted a bit like a resonator. LOL! Go figure! But, it works! When I take it out to play it live, I take it out just like this, with the exception that I tune it down half a step.

  • What's the name of the thing u got attached to your foot , i got to get me one of those .

    Amazing version , cheers !!!!

  • Hey man, thanks for your comments. Really dugged your acoustic version of RedHouse! Awesome. The old blues players use to throw a mic on the floor next to their stomping foot. I'm using a 1/4" wood, bout 12x18, and velcro a mic on it & 2 screws to hold a tamborine. Recently I removed the mic and put an old transducer pick up, works better. The old blues guys use to make stuff from whatever they had around. "Live" I get a very deep THUMP (like a bass drum). Don't buy one, make it! :)
