I tried something a bit different for me, DADGAD tuning. I have been trying to come up with a solo acoustic version of this song for years. I could hear it in my head, but I could never get it out the way I was hearing it. I would've never thought of DADGAD tuning if it wasn't for a son of a friend who made the joke, "Anything you wanna do solo acoustic, just tune in DADGAD and ya got it!" Thanks Trey!! In my simple mind DADGAD was a country tuning so it never connected that it could work for a Hendrix tune. Moral of the story - Don't pigeon hole music!!! A Grammy-Award winning friend of mine says there are two kinds of music, the kind ya like and the kind ya don't. Truth is normally very simple.

I think yiu got something here..! I like it I'm a guitar player in los angeles erea I've always dabbled this song with my acoustic and wanted to record an acoustic version like this.. man you dud it exactly how I'd like to... but you really kept it percussive and acoustic I loved how yiu came in with octiives that was brilliant 👏.. sound like you could plug this in in studio and cut it to upload it on Spotify.. nice job!

[@guitarferg]

@larryz3985 Thanks again!! Oddly enough I am getting ready to go in the studio in just a couple weeks and have been trying to nail down 2 or 3 solo acoustic cover songs to cut and do a in-studio video for promotion. I feel like this one and my version of "I Shot the Sherriff" are my winners so far. Thanks so much for your feedback! Have a great day!

I always end up doing the solos lime electric guitar sounds ok on acoustic but tough on fingers and strings lol.. you didn't even play after 12th fret so it sounds more better lime acoustic version should sound..wow I'm gonna start to play thus version on my acoustic great job again brother!@

[@guitarferg]

@larryz3985 Thank you!! Really DADGAD tuning is dulcimer tuning. It allows for the melody to be played while keeping the D & A notes droning (which would be a D5 chord). Happy that you enjoyed it and I hope it will open up some new worlds for you like it did for me.

[@HoublonMage]

Please, make Voodoo Brazil and maybe Voodoo Argentina!

[@HoublonMage]

Jokes aside, great cover!

[@guitarferg]

@HoublonMage I was hoping you were joking. I was about to have to explain how "chile" is the phonetic spelling of child... lol.. Thank you!!!
