The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix Cover

So called "Classic Rock" radio stations have ruined some songs due to overplaying the same cuts. In spite of this, I still think "The Wind Cries Mary" is one of Jimi's most beautiful songs. Jimi is most often associated with guitar solos, but this song features some his best rhythm guitar work...often overlooked.

Again, I am using a backing track with Jimi's guitar completely dropped out. Also, there is no echo/reverb in the vocals on the backing track. Very cool.

And, by popular demand (not!), I decided to include my face in this video.

Peace Love and Happiness to All!

That was amazing. :) I don't suppose you could put the tab of this on ultimate guitar or something? No worries if you can't.

@TheEarthtone9 : I tried that, but it's harder than it looks (to make tab). Thanks for watching.

I've played this in standard tuning....Is it not in standard?

[motorpsych0]

@cisseusa123: This is Jimi's tuning...Eb (one half step down)

I remember sitting in Jimi's dad's living room in Seattle in 1966 and Jimi played that tune. I was working at KYAC radio back then. Thanks for the memories motorpsych0

@guitarfreak651 : It is Vintage White, but the paint has naturally "yellowed" with age. NOTE: the painted headstock. Fender made only 500 of these in 1995-1996.

@motorpsych0 Oh okay fair enough. :) thanks anyway

[cisseusa123]

@motorpsych0 I'm almost positive the album version is in standard EADGBE. I've played the solo on my guitar multiple times whilst listening to the song and the pitch is definitely correct.

@dogalow1 : The record label took it down, and YouTube threatened to take down my entire channel. Thanks for watching the Bold As Love video when you could!

Please repost Bold As Love, loved watching you rip on that Vid. No one even comes close to you on that song.

Best Regards
