Bob Dylan wrote and recorded this song, HIS WAY! Jimi Hendrix covered it , HIS WAY! Hundreds of artists since then have tried to replicate Hendrix, which ain't gonna happen 'bro. This guy covered the tune, HIS WAY!. Although his playing evokes the direction that Hendrix took the song in, He's NOT trying to be Hendrix, just projecting his Soul into his own passionate rendition. Good Job!

[@joefzd4040]

it's weird but technical ability or virtuoso playing does not mean much really. It's that magical mixture of songwriting, charisma, performance etc. If you could write an instruction book then we could all do it! Take the Beatles or say the Stones (my generation!!) none of them could be called virtuoso players by any means - very capable with great timing as a unit but they have that "something else" that only really great performers have. Huge talent that transcends us lesser mortals! The internet is just bursting with amazingly talented musicians, thousands of them. Look at the old blues players, Big Bill, Sun House (sun house a uniquely crazy technique!), Howling wolf. It's not really about playing skills though that helps!

So funny how people who have never felt the deep emotion of performing a masterpiece so soulful look upon someone bravely letting their heartfelt feelings shine through with a sincere honesty as if that performer is faking his facial expressions. Forgive those shallow fools who think everyone is like them and since they have never experienced such a deep connection with all the haunting lyrics and harmonics created by a master songsmith they think no one could possibly be experiencing something they themselves have never experienced. This performance was from the heart with real soul baring honesty. Great to see anyone feel anything so deeply. Well done.

I listened to this song a hundred times played from a little battery powered turntable over in Vietnam in the central highlands when I came back off the field. I loved it every time I heard it and still think Jimmie Hendrix was an exceptional artist to create and play the hell out of his music. This artist, although not the creator of this music, is also an exceptional artist.

Bob Dylan is a musical mystery. He is amazing at lyrics. His music touches your soul and makes you think. Only one person has ever covered this song and in my opinion did it better. That Jimmy Hendrix...... until now. This man is singing and playing from his soul. He probably needs to rest after this. AWESOME COVER SIR. I salute you.

It will blow your mind to find out who wrote a LOT of songs you love. Some people borrowed things and paid out in lawsuits. Some paid to borrow or redo a song. I just found out Prince wrote ‘manic monday’ which I thought The Bangles wrote! When I was 14 years old, I actually thought Jimi Hendrix was a white guy because I had never actually seen what he looks like and was just starting to wake up to rock ‘n’ roll music lol.

I was standing right in front of Jerry at the Greek in 1987 when the Grateful Dead busted out the WatchTower. It was one of those cosmic, the DarkStar has shattered and the light of enlightenment is streaming out on all of us. There was an audible gutteral growl from Deadhead universe with the first notes before you were even sure what song it was. Then, Jerry proceeds to out rip Jimi. One of my highest life moments. The tapes never lie. Check it out. Summer solstice shows 1987 (the Jerry's back from diabetic coma year). Magic.
