Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower Guitar Cover

Aleks

hey people ?
I tried covering Hendrix' All Along The Watchtower
Please let me know what ya think!
And before you take me to the slaughter, I'm only 17 so I'm still developing as a musician/editor/sound engineer ?
I had to do everything on my own

Good! I also learnt this one, using GuitarPro and listening to the recording.

Well done - I don't believe you only 17 - did you start playing guitar at 5 years old? The tone is a bit thin for Hendrix, back off your overdrive/distortion gain and treble make sure you on neck pickup only until after the slide section (you do it in octaves nice touch I think I 'm going to try that) then kick to the bridge pickup for the wha and the chord break .

@ Rene, started when I was 12-thanks for the crit! ?

Great stuff man. There's a lot of technique in there.

Luister, are you listening along with the Hendrix track? I ask because it's sounding a bit mechanical. Make sure you don't spend all your time with the guitar pro track. Now that you've got the song down, spend some time with the Hendrix and listen to how he executes all those techniques - and the feel he gets in them.

It's a real achievement to get a song like this down. Well done.

Exactly what I was going to say...you've got it down but its too "precise" sounding...what you want is to put a bit more soul and feel into it but good technique man.

Good stuff.
