''RT @JimiHendrix'' acoustic Bedroom Blues tribute to ''The Wind Cries Mary''

This is my restrained and unassuming take on the Jimi Hendrix classic "The Wind Cries Mary", casually tossed off in front of my webcam while I was waiting for my hard drive to finish backing up tonight. This one's a rarity - usually I do like 20 takes and pick the best one, this time I just set up the camera, played, and posted it, just for the hell of it.

Incidentally, the instrument hanging on the wall behind me is not a banjo, it's a moon lute, the difference being that a moon lute is black while a banjo is white, and also that the moon lute has a distinctively crappier sound owning to the coat of black paint splashed on it.

As always, this is in Open G tuning.

Hey, as long as I've got you, would you do me a favor? Check out my "Woodstock" organ video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k09T_nTqWcg&fmt=18 I've had it up for a month now, and it's only gotten 300 views. I have no idea why, I thought it was pretty good. Anyways, if you could take a look at it, maybe rate and comment, I'd appreciate it.
