Hey Baby (New Rising Sun) - Jimi Hendrix (Cover)

This is dedicated to D.K.
A big thanks to my friend Patrizio, whose video helped me with some parts I always played wrong: • Hey Baby - Jimi Hendri... I still think he got a better feel in his playing, really delicate and spot on.

I mean - the cover is amazing. What gets me though is, seeing them done like this just makes me realise even more what a monumental genius Jimi was. On a different planet, the stuff he was writing - the complexity, the beauty and the vibe. Incredible stuff.

[@modernmangoman6476]

PaPa No one could say it better than that...Bravo!

[@snicklefritzthetab8411]

Agree x 100

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

Saigon Agreed. 110% I believe he was the blues rock rhythm and blues version of Bach or Beethoven or Wagner. But that’s just my only, souly, lowly opinion I believe they killed the golden goose that laid the golden egg. ( either outright or allowing him to o.d.). How could a manager or his Recording company do that? Used him. And other recording artists like toilet paper

[@ragasthegascap1]

Hey Greg, it's Greg here. What you're doing here is monumental. I've listened to all of your stuff, and you always impress. Your playing shows the pure genius of Jimi, and anyone with any intellectual honesty can see that Hendrix was, and still is, miles ahead of any guitar player that ever lived. It's not just a matter of taste, it is an objective fact. And, he was only on the scene for 4 years. Thanks, Greg, and keep lifting up the name for all Gregs everywhere.

[@thomaspick4123]

In fifty years, guitar playing has come a long way since Jimi. There are many very technically proficient guitarists. Django passed years ago, but we still like his stuff. Those of us who love Jimi, particularly because I was a teenager at the time, grow up during Jimi's era. The Vietnam War was going on. I was so fortunate to see Jimi play live twice. He really was unique. But, most of all, his music moves me emotionally like no other. I truly love Jimi's music.

[@suckOnThese3]

I have been into Hendrix since I was about 11...so 1991. Long after he was gone. 30 years later I have come full circle in realizing his other out of this world talent, song writing and singing...his lyrics, melodies, his voice!!! Greatness. Never get tired of hearing to much Jimi.

[@josephmoad2507]

Isaac Mosher i was an avid jimi hendrix fan when i turned around 12/11 ish, i’m 16 now and for three to four years jimi was all i would listen to religiously i have since broadened my taste to multiple artists of the outlaw country movement in the 60’s and 70’s but i’ll forever know that nobody can have the artistic ability of this man along with the improvisation he would put fourth every live show, there will never be anybody like him.

[@suckOnThese3]

@@josephmoad2507 Outlaw country music is still alive, just not in Nashville, they killed it. Also, you will not hear today's Outlaw Country on any radio station except maybe college radio stations. The Country Music industry turned their backs on "the people who made them worth a shit". -Hank III

Tremendous job. One of my favorite Hendrix songs. Never seen anyone quite pull it off like that

Feel like the guitar players can really appreciate this song

[@WALSKY]

Everything you’ve laid out brings tears … You’re keeping Jimi alive much like Randy H. is. I owe you a debt of gratitude that will not be fulfilled by a mortal like me

[@NemohHoes]

The almighty Greg. Not only an amazing guitarist but also capable of sitting in the exact same place in the exact same position for more than 5 years in a row. But no joke, yesterday I was walking around listening to this song thinking I might just write u a request for hey baby. Talk about a coincidence... Wonderful job mate, thank you. I’m gonna learn this soon as i get home. I’m considering those skype lessons too. Great video, mad respect!

[@greggggg]

Lol, I care a lot about about camera placement :) Thank you man!

[@Martin-gz4qn]

Great job! I always look forward to your covers. Maybe one day we'll see 1983?

[@carlosrodriguezgarcia8103]

Exactly

[@numv2]

Probably the greatest guitar intro ever, along with a couple of other Hendrix songs

[@WeeDicky]

This guitarist is clearing a big Jimi fan, Also good that he plays without the backing track. Good job 👍🏻

[@Turybegood]

Its really amazing how you memorize all this chord progressions,you are a genius,

[@Claymor621]

Another gem of a cover. When I watch these I try and imagine how awesome these vids would have looked to the 16-year old me trying to play this stuff in the 70s. I’m under no illusions about the technical challenges of Hendrix’s music and there is a simplicity in his approach but nailing his sound and feel like this is an art in itself and overshadows so many of the boring widdle tests on YT.

[@geostillo78]

When I was in high school I made a song. Just one. A couple months later my older brother brought home a vhs of Rainbow Bridge and Hey Baby was the song I made(you guys know what I mean, same jingle). When I saw Hendrix do it my jaw hit the floor as usual but I couldn't believe it! Me and my hero thought up a similar ditty! I love that song to this day and you did it justice my man! Thank you.

[@kennethjmcarthur2428]

Great job, Greg. I have never seen anyone else attempt this song. It remains one of my favorite Jimi songs.

[@AntonioPiemontese1]

Absolute poetry. A monumental cover.

[@greggggg]

Grazie mille Antonio!

[@Solonghoney]

Thats exactly how Jimi played it too... From one guitarist to another... My hats off to you.

[@ralphheeber3239]

To see my favorite song played with the same feel and soul Jimi recorded it with is something I never thought I would experience. Thank you, Greg. God bless you and your family.

[@tomallen5837]

I feel compelled to say something although everyone else has already written something, and all of it is true about Jimi Hendrix's rare, rare talent for touching our souls. But this song, and perhaps only this song, even though it was on an album that was not considered one of his main releases, is perhaps otherworldly. You know, of all the guitarists in the world who were peaking in their time, Jimi Hendrix was moving in the direction that no one else would have ever expected and this song, is something that for all of the AI bullshit of the world we have now, would never have predicted Jimi to write a song like this - to create this melancholy, this reaching out from our souls, grasping, asking for help, asking to be taken, because we know the light and we're not getting it here on Earth. Your cover here has done a very good of holding up the respect I have for Jimi Hendrix. I thank you for that.

[@dman030]

the genius of Jimi was it was always changing, yet still connected. you caught it right there.

[@TremendouslyAngryRon]

Absolutely perfect! I mean tonally and fingering, the relaxed Hendrix way of picking, all of it. Subscribed!

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

Greg Thank you for taking time to video this. Special feeling being able to watch up close the choice of notes Jimi used. And how somebody plays it. Great job. I know this takes time and effort and thinking to do. Weeks, maybe months to do. Thank you for your time and effort. A lot of people don’t appreciate that. I know because I play gospel blues rock guitar in 2 churches. They want to learn 3,4 new songs every week and then do the same thing the next week. Never really polish up anything. Just like eating Jays potatoe chips

[@brockam]

Thanks for putting in all of this work. Its a hell of a service to other players and fans.

[@antarcticorb9197]

One of the best intros of any song...ever!

[@markhorton1718]

I fell right in love with this song the first time I heard it!!

[@charlesmyers8150]

True dedication to Hendrix. I have been a huge Hendrix fan since '67. Saw him when I was 15 in '69. I can play bass to this but I would add a lot of what I see in this video to my bass playing. The more Jimi, the better. Billy Cox was excellent. Met him once during Experience Hendrix .

[@crowhaven200]

Awesome again! Jimi never played anything the same way twice. Without you telling me what was wrong before, I will never know. Thanks Greg.

[@FuriousWeasel-09]

One of my all-time favorites, hope to play it myself someday, stay blessed.

[@realsoulenginecinematic375]

I find this native American flavor in everything Jimi plays I think lol. Blessed😏

[@1tdillon]

Greg - Always a treat when you post something new. Obviously, I lot of guitars players subscribe to see your latest interpretation...great motivator for us all! Just want to say thanks for the great music and dedication to Hendrix. It's one thing to hit all the notes, it's another to capture the feel and soul. You do that in spades my friend. No right to make a request, but would love to see/hear your interoperation of Bold As Love, Olympic Studios version. Just a rhythmic powerhouse. Easy in my Hendrix top 3.

[@BoriedeMaurel]

Greg thanks for sharing that. You have a such a great ear - how you do it is beyond me. I wish I could - but I've learned a great deal from watching your videos already. I'm particularly struck by the way you capture the timing of Jimi's songs - not just the clever mix of chords and lead which is what makes Jimi's songs so worthwhile to learn. You've taught me a lot of fun things on the guitar. Thank you.

[@stevenkardas]

Go Greg ! You got the complex fingering and flow of his rhythm down.......The twists, turns and cleverness of The Master Hendrix. Not sure there is any where else one could actually watch this piece be played. A lot of work here to learn this, it shows.

Tricky tricky little pieces. You mastered all the nuances. Brilliant

[@brainey8]

I love your videos of Hendrix songs... when I learned them as a kid I missed a lot of the nuance because I was learning them to sing and play at the same time, and I knew I could never sing and play like Jimi did it... but I still keep trying, even after my many trips around the sun... Great Playing! Keep the videos coming, Please!

[@suckOnThese3]

Probably one of the hardest things about hendrix is his constant changes in timing. Those who were taught to always practice with a metronome for perfect timing suffer here

[@CorbCorbin]

Awesome. I have a hard time when trying to play this note for note, because my fingers want to keep doing those beautiful inflections on the rhythm. Really like how you did the chords on the last verse.

Fantastic! Thank you for your hard work and precision.

[@Tomoose736]

Always loved this one, never understood why it wasn’t more well known. Probably because it takes a lot longer to build than most of his tunes and it’s a bit more subdued. I always liked his slower songs, he really wrote some beautiful pieces amongst all his heavy distorted masterpieces, also the slow ones are actually kinda playable for a decent guitar player (like me) lol.

Simply wonderful. You nailed it. Thanks so much!
