Now That’s A Cover!
What if you’re at a house party gig and someone comes up to you to request a Jimi Hendrix song? No big deal, right?
Well here’s the thing. Every single guitarist on the planet knows that Hendrix tunes aren’t the easiest to play. Many tried, very few succeeded. If you can pull it off, then you just managed to break into the God-tier of guitar playing. Because let’s be honest, among those who covered his songs, Stevie Ray Vaughan is the only one who came close to his sound.
So imagine our reaction when we heard YouTube user DØVYDAS’ cover. If this doesn’t impress you then nothing else will.
Fun Fact: DØVYDAS is a 26-year old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Lithuania. In 2010 and 2011, he has headlined several major music festivals not just in Lithuania but also in Poland.
We love his take on this Hendrix classic and we can’t stop listening! What we’d do to hear him play this live!
