Mastermind (Woodstock) - Jimi Hendrix & Larry Lee (Cover)

[@georglorenz1036]

The thing the amazes me is that Jimi played this stuff spontaneously, by ear, while we need days or even weeks to transcribe the one single song.

[@justinjames802]

That's not true mate. Jimi was always coming up with stuff like this whilst jamming, at home or in the studio. He'd change them around and remake them. Villanova junction is a good example, there's several recorded versions and studio jams where he'd just break into it but if you listen to the Woodstock version you'd think he just made it up on the spot. Some parts may have been improvised but Jimi already had the basis of everything he did down.

[@fool5799]

Can't imagine what he'd have done during the 70's

[@JooJooShrimp]

We're so lucky to have had him around until September 1970

[@lobsterfan53]

He would’ve gotten into jazz fusion for sure

[@edmadrid1776]

1) That's great, man. 2) Sounds good enough to have been included on the official release of Jimi's Woodstock album and DVD.

[@CorbCorbin]

That tone is my favorite clean ever produced. Awesome touch, and sound. Uni-Vibe is the game changer for me.

[@joshuavincentparrella6853]

Great man, you are the best!!! I'm almost 15 and you are extremely inspiring And helpful on learning Jimi! Thanks man!

[@eddyobbish3730]

Hey man what a great choice! I’m a big Jimi Hendrix fan and I love how you gravitate to the more obscure stuff. This is one of my favorite songs and I played the heck out of this box set when it came out. It’s one of those songs where you feel you’re the only one in the world who knows it lol! So glad I came across you’re channel. Great playing bro! This is a great moment in time for Hendrix jamming with his friends, thanks for the cover. Rock on man!

[@MrSacrey]

Very cool Well played Larry Lee was had feel Unique Style

[@rkb4571]

Awesome cover of a proper deep cut. It’s always bothered me that the Larry Lee-led tracks of the Woodstock set have been so hard to find

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

Rkb Exactly. I was researching the jimi/ Larry Lee stuff; hard to find. Tip: Larry Lee became Al Greens music director. Interesting to compare Jimi with another guitarist, instead of hearing “ oh Jimi was a genius “, all the time.

[@SurfCamperWV]

Release the Larry Lee tracks for God’s sake!!! Your playing is amazing though man. Learned how to play Villanova Junction because of you. Can’t say thanks enough!

[@WarfareXGamer]

This is pure Jimi Hendrix style in my opinion, great song

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Great to have you back Greg. Ciao!

[@chopsonyou2007]

Love the chiming tones ringing in certain parts.... sweet !

[@sagej1574]

You are awesome brother!!!! Thank you for all your hard work. Jimi and all of us are grateful for these beautiful paintings that you have brought back to life.

[@Alan-zf2tt]

Bravo! Magnifico!

[@patatje6974]

Greg, that youtube misses the first second or so of Mastermind. I noticed you skipped the first bar.

[@patatje6974]

Greg, amazing that you can do all this with your ears with such a low quality audio recording.

[@arcanagardens7977]

just found out today that larry lee and hendrix rented a farm house 10 min up the road from where i live in 1969. So a great cover and so much great history. R.i.p jimi and lee. Did lee see any of the money before he died in 2007? Looks like everything got credited to him after his death? the discography says that at least.

[@rangeofmotion5993]

This is your best work... very tasteful. Jimmy didn't need to sing... let the guitar do rhythm, lead, and vocals for him.

[@Gtraxx1]

Never heard this before... amazing playing Greg

Awesome

[@shaynesigmon4283]

Superb playing Greg huge fan of your stuff! Can’t thank you enough I had been deciphering many of these Hendrix jams for years since I was a kid. Quick question, where did you find this track I can hear it playing but can’t be found anywhere online. I have The Woodstock DVD, older version, the song isn’t listed on there or the CD version.

[@greggggg]

I found it on CrosstownTorrents (dedicated Hendrix torrent source). Or look for Gypsy Suns and Rainbows ATM 239 on google

[@shaynesigmon4283]

Thanks man, much appreciated!

This is so groovy. Jimi definitely had a funky side.

[@linus15040]

Amazing Greg!

[@MistaF]

Dang.. nice work.

[@qascarface]

Lovely work mate, next pieces for you to cover should be the little wing jam from cafe au go go and dear mr fantasy, both great Hendrix solos! Be amazing if you did either, because I have no idea how to play them. :)

[@alexhuevera939]

cool

[@qascarface]

Also why isnt there footage of this from woodstock if the whole performance was filmed?

[@siggeek503]

The filmteam at Woodstock were changing packs in the camera. So that’s why this one with a few others didn’t get captured on camera.

[@greggggg]

Discussed here: crosstowntorrents.org/archive/index.php/t-5515.html

[@tommyrozenblad235]

I have a lot of Woodstock footage from different angels and different quality. I think I have most if not all that's been recorded. And that's a lot more than the original film. And in way different order.

[@Greums_]

Nice !

[@Clemos137]

Awesome! 🙃

[@turalaghayev7881]

Can you make Hey Joe studio cover or Voodoo Chile ( SR ) ?

[@clelum6996]

Please make lessons for these songs

[@andreascano8533]

Awesome song, excellent your rendition, as usual! I'ld like to know what kind of Uni Vibe you use.

[@maksymilianbiruk6877]

Good job! :D

[@greggggg]

Missed your question on the live stream, I'm 6'4''

[@maksymilianbiruk6877]

Wow nice, I didn't expect that you will reply me :D. I'm only 5'8'', and as you can imgaine my small hand disturb me while I'm playing a guitar.

[@thomaspick4123]

Another one I have never heard. My Woodstock tape doesn’t not have thus. What Woodstock tape has the missing songs?

[@waynegram8907]

GREG, do you know which hendrix song use would roll down the strat tone to get those old blues tones?

[@andrewmichael1354]

Greg, how were you able to acquire the music for this piece? I have searched the web, my bootleg recordings, etc. I cannot find this song, or Gypsy Woman anywhere..... ????

[@runrabbitrun4342]

Thanks, Always enjoy these Hendrix posts. Well i have you let me ask... During the Woodstock performance There's a section in it where Hendrix goes into this thing where he's walking the 6th E with his thumb while playing, I believe it segways into Villa-nova Junction, I can't remember for sure, i haven't seen it for so long, Do you no if that's actually a titled track or is it just nodding for lack of better words. There used to be a video on KZbin of that actual part where the original poster slowed it down so the viewer could get a better look at what Hendrix was doing ,But i think its been pulled since then, I've been trying to remember what it was and can't do you know? Thanks Man.

[@greggggg]

It's called "Woodstock Improvisation". I did a cover of that one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZjYmZJtnrljjqc, the thumb part is at 3:10

[@runrabbitrun4342]

Yeah that's it.Thanks man I've been wanting to lean that..Thanks Again

[@ASAPFos]

What kind of chord are you playing in the beginning? I watched a lot of your videos and you okay it on almost every song.

[@greggggg]

It's an A octave played at the 12th fret, 5th string. The chord you're talking about I play in most of my videos is a major chord with root on 5th string, you confuse them because the shape is similar

[@mindcontrol67]

Jeff Echagile Say thank you Greg for answering the question you asked.Its been 10 months.

[@JacobGoodman]

This is so good, I always come back to this video. What did you do to get that tone?

[@greggggg]

Thank you! I'm particularly proud of this cover. I used the "Uni-V" effect in Amplitube 3

[@JacobGoodman]

@@greggggg Right on, I appreciate the reply! It's definitely worth being proud of. I studied it religiously when you first posted the video, and it had quite an impact on my playing.

Jimi never played that song at Woodstock! Well, not according to Janie, Eddie and John. They even prevented the 50th Anniversary Woodstock compilers from using it and Gypsy Woman in the new box set that is supposed to be the complete Woodstock.

[@Rickeyjt]

Where are they from then? Their pre-woodstock rehearsals? I only discovered hearing them maybe ten years ago from a different ws compilation. Beautiful arrangements.
