Members KATMAN Posted January 27, 2006 Members Posted January 27, 2006 I really like that song. It shows Jimi was not just a one trick pony.His playing style had lots to with old blues tunes,like Buddy Guy.
Members valleyguy Posted January 27, 2006 Members Posted January 27, 2006 Nice. What did they use to record that, a tin can and some string? The guitar distortion is painful.
Members Dave W. Posted January 28, 2006 Members Posted January 28, 2006 Originally posted by Tioga_Man I read it was just some reporter/journalist types that barged in on him at one time, handed him the guitar that was leaning against the wall, and said play something. but what do I know.... I have the original version on a VHS tape somewhere. It surely wasn't a great studio recording session, but not nearly as bad as that mpeg or what ever it was converted into.
Members Dave W. Posted January 28, 2006 Members Posted January 28, 2006 Originally posted by Tioga_Man how "original"? It was tagged on to a Hendrix lession video I got about 15 or 20 years ago, not like I have the studio tapes or anything.
Members bjorn-fjord Posted January 28, 2006 Members Posted January 28, 2006 The footage was first featured in the film, "Jimi Hendrix" that was released in 1973.
Members guitarmandp Posted January 29, 2006 Members Posted January 29, 2006 I think this might be the only acoustic hendrix that has ever been released on record or video. They have acoustic guitar in All Along The Watchtower but it's Noel Redding that plays it!
Members sid langley Posted January 29, 2006 Members Posted January 29, 2006 there's a picture of him playing a martin 12-string while sitting on a toilet seat at his flat in london .. apparently he liked to play in there because of echo

Members bjorn-fjord Posted January 29, 2006 Members Posted January 29, 2006 That site is amazing. I just watched Son House play Death Letter. http://www.youtube.com/w/Son-House---Death-Letter-Blues?v=ODEberbcfTw&search=son%20house
Members solitaire Posted January 30, 2006 Members Posted January 30, 2006 Funny. Didn't Jimi own a number of Martin guitars?
