this is the first time i've played properly since my wee boy was born - 3 months ago!! my fingers are actually quite sore!!
I'm telling you, your pure genius! Like the iMac G5 and congrats on your little boy! :)
Stairway to Freebird!
Sounds great...You obviously have a lot of talent! I would try to smooth things up a bit between the riffs, but getting that jimi "flow" is really hard.
Question for you though: I'm a huge hendrix fan, and Im starting to attempt (i mean butcher) his stuff. I got Purple Haze and its solo down, and I have the rythm on Hey Joe and Manic Depression down, but their solo's are really hard to get hendrix's phrasing and bends right... Any tips for where to go for or try next?
Thanks,
Dustin
I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes.
- Jimi Hendrix
:shock:

That's amazing dude. Not amazing as in 'wow, how well performed' but more like in 'holy crap, that was superduper cool to hear!'. I've heared SO many covers of Little Wing, and this is one of the few that sounds good in it's own right, without relying on the fame of Jimi and Stevie. Drop me a line if you're ever going to perform in Holland, would gladly pay to see you play a bunch of songs. 8)
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pick my jaw up....
Congratulations! i have a 3 year old and 4 year old boy and a daughter who's turning 10. Things are looking up and scary at the same time. May you have a full eight hours sleep soon.
Awesome.
Loved it.
And you made it look very easy - which clearly it isn't!!!
I am soo jealous...
Well done mate
Matt
sounds good, to bad you couldnt find a backing track to play to , im sure you would get a better flow with one
It must be getting early, clocks are running late....
Paint by number morning sky looks so phony....
Dawn is breaking everywhere light a candle, curse the glare....
Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause it's all right....
That is a great cover! You said that it was a video clip, but when I tried to play it, Windows media player said that it was an unrecognized file extension and it would only play the audio. Can anyone help?
Gun control is using both hands!!!
download quick time

thank you for the nice words :)
the playing was very rough... but the tone was what i was happy with. In all honesty i was just fannying around to try and test out my new video camera. :lol:
Arjen... i'd love to perform in Holland - i just need a band first!! gonna try and sort that problem out in the next couple of years. (once my kids are a wee bit older - at the moment they're 3mths, 2yrs and 6yrs...i've still got some time left...i'm 24!)
Hey BigAl, how long have you been playing BTW? I've been playing for about 7 1/4 months, 1 1/4 with lessons(with a teacher, not guitarnoise) but I can play purple haze through and through on my acoustic! I was real happy when I got it down. Now I just need a 4 track recorder and a mic and i'm a happy guy! :)

i've been playing for about 10 years - started playing on my 14th birthday. All self taught...by ear & tab books.
wish i'd gotten some lessons though - would love to be able to read proper music notation.
keep it up bro, hendrix will see you through. :)
Aw cool.. I'm 14! 8) I guess by the time I'm 24 I might, just might, be as good as you. :) And I'm taking lessons(courtesy of me mowing lawns all summer)!

And if you haven't, listen to SRV's version. It's incredible! Here's a live version, though it has vocals. The studio version is an instrumental.
