- Castles Made Of Sand rhythm guitar cover. Note for Note
I love the tone I got on this one, especially at 1:43 when I hit the Fsus2 chord
Make sure to check Vibratory's version too! • Castles Made of Sand -...
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Axis Bold As Love
Road Worn 60 Stratocaster, Fender Pure Vintage 65 Pickups, Marshall JTM 45/100 Amp sim (Amplitube 3)
My cover of the backwards solo: ua-cam.com/video/pJ1KA7jTt7I/v-deo.html
Greg the real official version of castles made of sand has now been uploaded onto youtube by the official jimi hendrix channel, for those who havent already had it downloaded or on wax for years.
your version is as close as it gets though you just need mitch mitchell and any ol bass player.
You wear that gauge rope?
Never mind youtube deleted it
@The Lonely Traveller yea i have most of it downloaded mp3 but its nice to be able to just youtube it
@Greg I always thought the backwards solo was done by using volume control manipulation! Pluck the string and wind up the volume reversing the attack/decay.. That's how I used to try to do it anyway :D
Your channel is literally just called "Greg" and that is the funniest thing to me for some reason...
I love ur comment but I cannot like it because it is at 69 likes right now and i dont want to mess that up cuz its too nice
@@zach11590 now 96 dx
Anthony Sanchez some one liked it now it has 97 :(
you laughing at broski's name? >:[
Greg
This not only demonstrates your mastery of the instrument Greg, but the sheer genius of Hendrix. To create that piece out of thin air, the phrasing, the rythmic intricacies, the double stops, the chord voicings...to me, this Hendrix masterwork represents the pennical of what can be achieved with six steel strings, a chunk of wood, some wire and magnets. No amount of speed shredding, sweep picking arpeggios, hammer ons, alternate picking or whatever else could ever match this for sheer artistry.
I totally agree.
Had exactly the same thought just now watching some Hendrix covers. Finding myself amazed that people can play so good, then realise Hendrix ACTUALLY came up with this shit in the first place. Unreal
This might be the best comment I've ever read on UA-cam. Yes.

The older i get the more hendix genius becomes apparent...
Dude you motivate me
+Daniel San Román two long weeks learning this song. Still getting the mood and not even close to the vid but its ok
the hardest part for me is rememering everything but hey slowing down play it slowley over and over is gonne give the best results
Did u get it
So? Progress?
what a beautiful guitar track, dude... the man was a true genius
Adriel Rodrigues yeah!
+Greg just saw ur Hendrix cover of castles made of sand..prtty dam good
Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face,
And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool.
He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green.
And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.
A little Indian brave who before he was ten, played war games in
the woods with his Indian friends, and he built a dream that when he
grew up, he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief.
Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song,
And fight his first battle, but something went wrong,
Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually.
There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown,
Because she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she would stop living, so she decided to die.
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled
"You won't hurt me no more."
But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY
"Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop...it just kept on going.
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea,
Eventually
that's some good writing
he was a genius poet and music composer
This is esentially a perfect cover. Phrasing, attack, sound, some minor personal touch thing added, general feeling... Everything! And the tune, oh, the stuff of dreams... it is one of those that define Hendrix's genius. You really DO DIG Jimi :D
Hard to believe they made Brian May the world number 1 guitarist over jimi Hendrix especially when you see and hear his playing this is great example of that
Wait WHAT He doesn't even make my top 5. And over Hendrix???? I'm mad now.
@@ryancooley3247 The influence of Jimi Hendrix with his virtuosity and style is unparalleled. It doesn't matter with what motivation or agenda it was decided that Brian May is the best guitarist. He is number 6 for me. I am 68 and I saw Hendrix in Germany in 1967. And dozens other guitarists in the years after.
Brian May is good but barely a top 10 guitarist, if that makes sense, let alone competing with Hendrix.
Yeah because Eddie van Halen is the greatest of all time
Brian May is probably 20/100 or so for me. But that's really good.
Damn that’s the closet thing I can find to the original recording amazing job my man that takes skill
Im 71 years old. I know how this record sounds. Its as close as you are going to get.
I have watched a number of your videos and there are so many signature Hendrixism's that you capture. These songs are virtually note for note, but none of them sound like a Berklee student that read the sheet music playing them. You put yourself into them. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to transcribe some of the things that are only audible on isolated tracks and things I always wanted to take the time to sit down and figure out but just never did - Rhythm guitar on little wing solo, Wind Cries, Electric lady, etc...
All of this puts you in a class of your own as a guitarist.
From one James Marshall fan to another - Thank You...
Greg has long slender fingers, like Jimi’s. Greg is so technically competent, he can play in that very relaxed manner in which Jimi played. Because Greg can play so at ease, he is able to put his feelings into his playing at will.
Clean man, super clean. Good job.
Beautiful. Shocked that you could nail this so precisely and emotionally.
Absolutely perfect - not 1 flub… best cover of this song on UA-cam
This is the only song I really want to be able to play as well as you. It's such a masterpiece and you nailed it once more. 10/10
***** Thank you
bro that tone sounds so good
Definitely one of my favourite Hendrix tunes.
This, and Little Wing live at the Royal Albert Hall, Hey Joe live in Stockholm '69. And pretty much all of Band Of Gypsys.
I think this tune though is one of the main reasons I fell in love with Strat neck pickups.
As a full-blooded man, I'm not afraid to admit to whoever reads this that neck pickups make me moist.
Carry on!!
Honestly , Greg has shown me just how great Jimi was. I always knew he was the best but being able to watch someone who can actually replicate the exact Hendrix sound really shows how insanely good Jimi was. Thanks Greg.
After each upload , I have to go back and listen to the original and each time I say to myself "Greg nailed it...again "
I've never heard anyone replicate Hendrix covers to the standard you do. absolutely magical. I always play this intro and the little wing intro in my playing, and can never nail it. I tweak it a little to own ease. Incredible Greg, really something
Goddamn Jimi was a great writer. The phrasing is insane.
The beauty of this song is over the top. Hendrix would have little problem recreating this live especially after Are you experienced went beyond the studio effect versions into the stratosphere when played live. Hendrix was far more than just guitar and people still have a hard time understanding pure musicianship. Also the fact these people only come around every century or so. The power of his music and feel for music is still too much for many to comprehend. Great job.
Brought back memories of Jimi's greatness. You did a wonderful job on showing his technique and the joy of listening to it. From an old guy to you, loved your playing and Thanks For The Memories!
Came here looking for a cover with no vocals so I could hear the guitar better. Whoa man. I was not ready for this. Almost brought a tear to my eye hearing you play it so beautifully and true to its original sound. Thank you.
With only a few other songs, this one stands in the guitar masterpieces, this really shows Hendrix's skill on writing music. Just blow my mind.
And your interpretation was awesome dude, well done.
It kills me that your name on here is just "Greg" LOL, but awesome cover man. It's extra smooth and pleasant to listen to. Just a super clean cover
Go to his page and click about for more info
Isn’t that the coolest guitar intro ever written?! I’ve been playing that all my life. It sets my mind free.
Greg. All your stuff is amazing . You take us into the mind of Jimi through your playing .you also pay attention to DETAIL thank you man
That's amazing. It's like I closed my eyes and thought Jimi was playing it!
I can't get tired of watching this video, and it moves me like the first time, wow, thanks Greg
This is incredible after I watch what it takes to play this song, you play this piece flawlessly. It astounding Jimi came up with this
Holy shit that was perfect
Looking closely, these songs had so many details Jimi would use, very hard to see someone capturing them all. Congratulations!
After the first and second verse that contrasting chord is amazing!!!!
Never truly appreciate how great Hendrix was until you plug in the lyrics and realize Jimi's boundless creativity and being so true to life and no two songs of his sound alike. To have near close guitar riffs to enjoy, i am not a great guitarist, but thanks many times over for allowing us an all too brief pleasure, a privilege, it is to have something left after his niece, Jannie, took it all away from us. Great work, rock on
Super authentic
I'm loving it
Wonderful! What a genius Hendrix was. Brilliant!
I absolutely love these videos. Sometimes I’d listen to Jimi’s isolated guitar tracks and loved them but they were difficult to find. You have tons. The rawness and accuracy is just impeccable.
Oh boy!!! Speachless!
You sure deserve more views than you have. Please keep recording these covers, we all need them, you are doing a wonderful job
Unbelievably true to the original. Great stuff.
Sat down for about an hour and learned this by watching you. Great tune and great cover sir!
Absolutely flawless!
Rumor has it he is even better in 2020! Bravo Sir.
There's a reason Hendrix never played it live...
¿?
porco rosso Hendrix didn't play it live because it was too impractical
what
its really fucking hard is what he is saying
+araya Hendrix played it live lol
These videos are great. Simple. No talking, just nice tone.
Wow, this is pure beauty and dedication.
Dude... your tone.... 😦 🔥
this soothed me :) tones perfect
Man, this almost made my cry...
Such a great song, so well performed!
lovely job. makes you appreciate Jimi even more seeing his guitar played so well considering it was natural and his creative way.
I really don't unterstand how you can be so good. I mean im not a amateur player or something. but you just blown me away so hard!
As a RUSH ( Alex Lifeson ) inspired guitarist, the Hendrix style of playing is quite different from the way I normally play. I like to challenge myself with new techniques every now and then. This is one of those times! Love this tune!
I absolutely love that chord progression in the intro and end
Favorite Hendrix song and you nailed it
There’s no question that you were listening to the studio recording of this song through headphones and playing over it with just your guitar being recorded to this video. I can tell for sure by the way that you speed up and slow down with the recording.
That's exactly how I recorded most of my covers, I'm glad you noticed!
Greg, you are always great man. I'd really like to see you break out of note for note covers and start seeing your own style bleed into these songs. Absolutely brilliant playing man.
That was incredible. Just incredible and your tone is rich and stunning.
I realized that Hendrix had a habit of baring the low E with his thumb. Something that through a few decades of playing, I never do. But now I see how this opens up so many new possibilities of creating cords and arpeggios and etc. I'm inspired to learn some more of his tunes. I gotta work on baring with the thumb for a bit. I keep pulling the low E over the edge of the fret board! Thanks for figuring this out and sharing! Very well done!
You just made me want to learn this song :)
It's really much easier to play than you think...
just made me realize i can't.
Dude your awsome, you've got some skill,, USA
STUNNING
A lifetime looking for this level of note for note, never could induce theses voicings from ear (not good enough), but now able to noodle in the vain of these brilliant chordal progs
impeccable tone! Your playing is also amazing, I have no critique of it... but the tone!?
This is ASMR for my ears
You play with such ease it's mesmerising to watch - incredible job! I could listen to this all day, I love Jimi's guitar style and sometimes I want to appreciate it without the vocals so can't thank you enough for this cc
Funny thing Greg is Greg, he really needs no introduction or any name for that matter.For those of us who know him, love his magic, and for those that love his magic, wanna be him! I listen to his stuff almost as much as the master himself. Thanks again Maestro 🤟
Wow, I’m not a guitar player by any stretch, but that seems very technical and difficult to play. Having said that and being a Hendrix fan since 1967 it sounded note perfect to me, great job Greg.
Man, I thought I had this tune down...until I listened to this! Ha
This is the first comment I've ever written on any UA-cam video,
You GREG are the sole reason I picked back up the guitar and in doing so it brought back my musical fire and love for all things musical.
Thank you so much
Ash
Simply amazing.
You must have come from outta space just like Jimi! In any case welcome on earth..
and Hendrix somehow managed all this whilst singing!?
Lawrence Butler Nope, he didn't play it live actually
oh,
I like your thought on this. I can play and sing a lot of songs, but for some you need to split your brain in two, a technique I sure as hell haven't mastered yet. This song? Yeah...
He was shit live
Anthony Humphries dude what?!
Wow spot on 👏🏼
This has to be the most amazing thing I’ve seen all day❤️
i dont know what to say.....this really shows what jimmi did...that was invisanle to onlookers....we heard it but now ive seen it...
I still can't get over how fucking clean this guy sounds. Whistles don;t have shit on this guy, shit! Do you play gigs mate? I need to know if you do cause i will be attending them if possible.
Well, the greatest. Glad I could see this song just pulled off so effortlessly.
i love your devotion to hendrix and talent. ty
DAMN. As always. Amazing. Mannn I sure hope I can play like that after just 5 years of playing. 1.5yrs down, 3.5 more to go lol wishful thinking but I am definitely committed!! Awesome dude.
I've been playing for 16 years this year and am unsure if I could play this good, lol!
17 years here... not unsure - I KNOW I can't play this well, but what I do know is that I am more inspired than ever after watching this cover.... JIMI WAS A GENIUS!
I've been playing for a year and a half and I can do this easily.
Damn, I need a strat now so I can learn this
I've played guitar for many years, but never had a good, proper Strat until recently, and never understood them. Just seemed like nostalgia to me. But no, a GOOD one, with the right pickups, is almost like its own sub-class of instrument to me now. They are incredibly dynamic, and the range of tones you can get based on pick attack, picking location, and just the variation in timbre as you move up and down the fretboard is amazing. They're incredibly versatile and expressive. Definitely not the easiest guitars to play, but the juice is worth the squeeze!
Absolute perfection!
Dude all your videos are amazing. Absolutely beautiful playing. Extremely helpful for trying to learn these Hendrix songs. Thanks mate, it's very much appreciated.
you fuckin rock man. Liked, subscribed and currently using your vids to learn these songs myself cause they've been taking down his live vids lately. make some brief tutorials though. your cover of his take on like a rolling stone was rad. how do you learn these? Listen to "how would you feel" by curtis knight and the squires if you havent already; its a young hendrix pre-experience. Anyways, dont stop posting and dont stop playing
Hi Greg. This is amazing. Can you share the exact settings on Amplitube? How did you set the gain, what are the values on the Marshall JTM 45/100 and on any other sections you changed from default?
The amp is called "JH Gold" (from Amplitube Jimi Hendrix Anniversary Collection). Presence: 10 Bass: 10 Middle: 10 Treble: 10. Loudness 1: 5.2 (Hi Treble channel). Room type: large studio. Default mics positioning. Room mics level: 0.38
Truly exceptional and spot on
Favourite Hendrix song, and I have to say you nailed it, really did it the justice it deserves
wow man. Did you play with the record on the headphones?
***** Yeah with the original isolated guitar track :)
where did you find the isolated track?
He must have, each day - for 30 FN years. This is EXACTLY how Jimi played it!
TheVibratory your version of this song is beast too
Remixstems
I heard Jimi had a son
This guy is white.
@@joshuahuf9747 you responded to a comment 3 years later just to miss the joke
john d franco he probably just saw the comment during that moment. idiot.
@@mickplays12wowzers73 you responded to comment a month later just to be mad
john d franco I ain’t mad. You’re comment was just stupid. Lol.
Really nice job of that. One of Jimi's most beautiful songs.
Outstanding! 👏🏻
its so good i gotta slow it down and learn every note. Its fucking difficult to play that f chord and mute the g string at the same time... my hands arent made for it but im going to make it work
Tip but your first finger up towards the the g and that should do it
What string gauge do you use?
+Exho 010 - 046 gauge
Greg Thanks man. I love your playing though, that guitar is sexy and your tone is spot on
Really nice! Captures the spirit and feel!
One of the most beautiful, melodic Hendrix tunes. You play it great.
smarty pants
Are you pilky27?
sithjohn80 he’s better
i come back to this video alot. sooo satisfying
Its about time someone comes along who can do Hendrix correctly. Excellent!!
