This is one of my favorite songs by Jimi Hendrix- I know, William Bell wrote it. In recent years I've started watching people play his songs on UA-cam and it gives me insight into how his fingers may have played the songs. Truthfully, it makes me appreciate him all the more- what a musician, what a feel he had. Plus it makes me appreciate his mind all that more because it was his mind that came up with how he played stuff. The man had so much soul. First heard him when I was about 15 and I was immediately hooked. I'm now 65 and he's still my favorite musician hands down. Sooner or later, I always go back to Jimi. His music is like an addiction; I have to have a dose and when I do, I'm good. Thanks so much for the cover a la Hendrix. Great job,
Among my family and friends I engulfed Jimi in isolation. At age, cough cough, for a long time I thought I was alone in my cosmic idolatry of The Master, times when I could never get enough. And its taken more years of digging around You Tube to begin to fully appreciate I am not alone in my pious adulation of his skills to the near exclusion of all others. Latterly, I have noticed the Jimi Hendrix: Blues album is finally getting an airing. It's consigned my aged cassette of this album to the museum. Good to hear and see others do justice to his notes. Now, if only I can get my friends and siblings to take note.
Jimi had speed but didnt care about speed. Jimi had skill plus technique didnt care so much about it. Jimi had finesse...didnt care he made mistakes. Jimi had raw soul and just let it flow baby!
I was born deaf and raised to know the music. I was amazing the fingers move you tunes. Now I understand why Jimi does his best of music. Thank you for the blue guitar cover.
Are you kidding me. First, my ex got me this in CD for my birthday about when it was released. Maybe a few years later. But, I put it in and played the whole album over and over. I know this note for note. I've never seen anyone nail this with your precision. You not only have the notes down, you got jimi's feel. His emotion. Second: I consider myself a pretty fair guitar player. I learn by ear. And when I listen to your riffs, my ear is telling me, I will never be on your level. That's okay. Because I still enjoy playing. But I will get some licks if you keep this video up long enough. And thirdly, thank you. That was a pleasure.
This is pure dedication to honour such a complex and difficult masterpiece performed but the G.O.A.T . Man your commitment to learning and executing this piece is awe inspiring 🙌
@@boxing-bm3zz you're one of those morons who say the 12-bar blues is easy but have no idea how to even get past the first 12 bars without sounding like garbage.
Bro just literally played the notes without any of the technique. I'll admit he did a damn good job playing the notes, but him uploading this also shows just playing the notes ain't gonna get you the weird and out there sounds Jimi could do. By no means am I saying this guy sucks though, just playing the notes is like 60% there (A lot for a Hendrix song), I hope he's still playing, would love to see him take another shot sometimes.
Great job! This version can be found on the Jimi Blues album where he covers the essential blues. i would assume alot of fans are unaware of these great pieces because they dont have the cd/music...Jimi did so much great non-radio music. Thank you sir for your craft and doing Jimi proud.
Thanks for posting that video. You really nail it . This entire album has always been one of my favorites ever since it came out in the 90's. I've tried to find out how Jimi plays blues songs by watching lots of videos, but hey are almost always showing a wrong way to play Jimi blues. Your videos are always showing the exact way Jimi played blues licks. You must have an amazing memory to be able to play songs like this one all the way thru like that. Also your video list of songs is very impressive. Thanks for doing such good work on all of these videos. I will show my thanks on your Patreon account.
Fantastic job. Don't get me wrong commenters, but this is not as hard to play as it seems. Jimi's use of different FX and tones make the song sound tougher than it really is. Getting those exact fx and tones down is what is so impressive here. Wow. Still, when Jimi played this with his feel and passion, it was blues come alive. This is pretty note-for-note, but no cover can ever have the same passion. It's the same when anyone covers SRV.
from the opening note Jimi was singing without vocal, not playing guitar, so no one can emulate that even if somebody could do it ghost note for note. Other covers which Jimi vocaled and played (Mannish Boy or Like a Rolling Stone) are faster yet easier to copy than this one
Thank for sharing! What a fine rendition of Jimi! First I was resistent to click on it, ‘cause some songs lose their magic when they are objectified especially this song. Best way to put it, Jimi narrates whole emotional spectrum of ‘Born under a bad sign’. It is so raw it is hard not to feel Jimi once you get into the groove where each passage, tone and phrasing has its story. It is also soul cleansing once you aware of the world and be part of it and accept it then you show your surroundings respect!
Fair fucks for transcribing the whole thing. Great playing and sound. How Hendrix came out with this stuff is just amazing. So many unique bends and techniques
That was FANTASTIC - great job! Do you by chance know 'Drivin South' from 'Radio One' ? That is my all-time #1 fav song, let alone being Jimi's. My #2 fav is Jimi's 'Midnight' from 'War Heros' - I think both Drivin South and Midnight are guitar-instrumental masterpieces that no one talks about.
Dude I’ve been playing guitar since i was 4 years old, I’m good. I mean I’m real good and I don’t like to brag. But YOU how did you learn this note for note?! I can do a couple red house versions note for note but this is another level and you sir are amazing!!

Albert King didn't write the song at all.
@@hesch-tag Thanks. William Bell did. Corrected it.
@@victorbrown3570 Yes and Booker T Jones.
Jimi had speed but didnt care about speed. Jimi had skill plus technique didnt care so much about it. Jimi had finesse...didnt care he made mistakes. Jimi had raw soul and just let it flow baby!
Well said m8
Exactly, music sweet music 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶
Jimmy was very high
Probably, but so's my buddy, and he ain't no Jimi 🤣🤣🤣
It's those little mistakes that made it more musical imo
I was born deaf and raised to know the music. I was amazing the fingers move you tunes. Now I understand why Jimi does his best of music. Thank you for the blue guitar cover.

My thoughts exactly. I have heard this many many times. Dude got it down.
holy shit. respect man, jimi killed this song. you’re right on par. one of my favorite jimi songs
Albert King. It's an Albert King song.
on par ?!!?!
@@Valandor_Celestial_Warlock it is an albert king song. that’s why he said he killed it. he did a good job of covering the song.
i really really respect this guy for doing his thing perfectly without any bullshit. your lessons are amazing as well as your playing!!
This is pure dedication to honour such a complex and difficult masterpiece performed but the G.O.A.T . Man your commitment to learning and executing this piece is awe inspiring 🙌
That was really amazing. Jimi was a genius and this was one of his best recordings by far. Great job man !!
Perfection, you won't hear this on any radio. Shoutout to Spotify and UA-cam for helping mold my music taste and reveal stuff like this
Damn, man. I thought Stevie Ray Vaughan was the only one who could do Jimi Hendrix stuff. This Is the best I have heard in years.
One of my all time favourite Hendrix tracks and you did it justice and then some.... wow that was impressive great work 🙏.
Just 12 bar blues its not really hard
@@boxing-bm3zz Upload a video of you playing it then 🤣🤣
@@boxing-bm3zz you're one of those morons who say the 12-bar blues is easy but have no idea how to even get past the first 12 bars without sounding like garbage.
yes indeed i agree and second that

Jimi was raw . A true master!!!!!!!
Smooth.
Love the sound he gets on this and Once I Had a Woman so much.
I’d love to see you do that one too.
Jimi was light years ahead. Well done on this rendition.
I love this song!!!!!
I can play it over and over and over again and I won't get tired of it!!!!!!💙💙💙💙
so great
Christ man! I also thought it was impossible. This is a real acheivment. Bravo!
This sounds good! I just found born under a bad sign yesterday by Jimi, LOVE it!
Goosebumps. Stunning performance and the camera angle is appreciated for us mere mortals. Easily my favorite Hendrix instrumental. Cheers.
Wow finally i get to see it in action! Absolute hidden gem!
Ugh. Rude......sow ...Beautiful....Dig...

Can't fault your excellent rendition man! Absolutely well done on your efforts! Brilliant, so glad I found this on u-tube.
Pure soul! Pure art!
Alex,I feel that You are the best internet guitar instructor that I have ever seen. Thank You my Blues Brother

I listen this song almost there are 20 years! I love it! Great cover! (I dont understand how someone can dislike:/)
ok now this is fucking impressive
Damn this an impressive version of one of the best blues solos of all time. Great freaking job!
Simply phenomenal
Closed my eyes and I thought it was Jimi, fantastic work man
amazing job
That was crazy cool dude. One of my all time Hendrix favorites and you totally lit it up.
Wow! Absolutely phenomenal!
One of my favorites. Great job! You did Jimi justice.
Albert King said Jimi couldn't play the Blues. Then Jimi came out with this . Clearly Superior to anything that Albert King, ever did.
Wow this took a lot of time to Memorize!! Awesome cover
Just killer
great tone bubba.
Caramba, perfeito! Muito bom! Arrebentou! Show! Igualzinha o jime hendrix!
Parabéns ❤

thought this was impossible. Nothing is impossible for Alex.
Hon anh gian em
I am going to make this very simple and to the point: This is phenomenal and the way a guitar should be played.
Oh man...to actually see Jimi Hendrix play in person would've been amazing!
love to know your set up. sounds fantastic.
Pretty damn close to Jimi's version. Respect!
from the opening note Jimi was singing without vocal, not playing guitar, so no one can emulate that even if somebody could do it ghost note for note. Other covers which Jimi vocaled and played (Mannish Boy or Like a Rolling Stone) are faster yet easier to copy than this one
@@rioace3953so he was thinking of singing with this one ?
Absolutely amazing
best cover dude
U nailed it , even the sound set up

“If it wasn't for bad luck! You know I wouldn't have no luck at all”
All I can say is excellent. Bad to the bone cranked up on 10.
Espetacular!!! Grandioso cover dessa pérola hendrixiana em homenagem ao "Rei Alberto"... Parabéns!!!

How come I cant find Jimi Hendrix playing this anywhere on youtube?
Fantastic!
That was FANTASTIC - great job!
Do you by chance know 'Drivin South' from 'Radio One' ? That is my all-time #1 fav song, let alone being Jimi's.
My #2 fav is Jimi's 'Midnight' from 'War Heros' - I think both Drivin South and Midnight are guitar-instrumental masterpieces that no one talks about.
Oh yes please, please do 'Drivin' South'.
Nailed it amazing wow
Outstanding loved it
Dude I’ve been playing guitar since i was 4 years old, I’m good. I mean I’m real good and I don’t like to brag. But YOU how did you learn this note for note?! I can do a couple red house versions note for note but this is another level and you sir are amazing!!
This guy can teach people how to play . Forget the new pickups amps, etc. It is your fingers and this style.
I think.
ThIS WAS AMAZING
Great cover, highly impressed
Sensational...well done!
Such a perfect job !!!!
You make me dream
You make me hope
You make me cry
I’m so jealous

Thank you

Bravissimo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 it’s the same as the original!!!
Great cover!
I love this and watch it often, decided to learn it properly.. Are you tuned down a half step?
Perfect 🎸
Great cover
Damn dude, sounds like you’re just playing the track over the video. Good work. 🔥
The solo outro of Spanish Castle Magic by Eric Schenkman been haunting my sleep for 20 years mate, please cover the whole song?
As much as I dream of being able to play that on my Strat, I doubt I could even fake playing it on my Strat. Kudos
