Pali Gap - Jimi Hendrix (Cover)

[@waynehoobler2677]

This is the real Jimi Hendrix fans favourite piece. Jimi was tapped into the Universe when he wrote it and it still is years ahead of its time. Fabulous cover; it must have taken hours to transcribe as this sounds like it was taken from the studio version therefor transcribed by ear. For those of us who believe Jimi was not of this earth Pali Gap surely proves it.

[@musselchee9560]

Well Cryered. Like ..."the real Jimi Hendrix fans"... My most listened to song, soon to become my most seen replica. But then all of Jimi's music is universal.

[@Palatard]

I only discovered Rainbow Bridge this month after thinking Jimi has 3 albums my whole life... Pali Gap is just amazing. You get 2 Jimi Hendrix at once and there's something so special about this song. It's just pure Hendrix guitar bliss with no fat. I think it's one of his best and most underrated pieces.

[@EmericaNobles]

I’ve always known the Hendrix was amazing but seeing Greg play Jimi’s songs makes me realize that Jimi was even better than I could’ve possibly imagined.

[@tzon6802]

So much emotion, he was self taught and his professional career with ‘the experience’ was only four years. Mind blowing

[@tzon6802]

He did more for music in four years than anybody in history

[@kyolek9485]

@@tzon6802 even crazier is that he started guitar at 15 so when Are you experienced was released it was only his 10th year playing guitar, being that good in 10 year while being self taught is crazy

[@johnb4024]

It also shows what an efficient player he was

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

absolutely !!

[@brandon.4451]

Considering most his stuff was E minor pentatonic, its pretty amazing the mileage he got.

[@victorbrown3570]

I agree with you totally. It's so modified my thinking of Jimi to see how his hands may have skated the neck. Jimi becomes even more impressive when I watch these videos by Greg.if that's even possible. What a talent, I really miss Jimi. Not ashamed to say it, sometimes it just hurts a lot. And Jimi's MIND that thought up all this stuff. Damn.

[@chasphotography]

It's called feeling, soul, and emotion. Not composition. Composition is for college music students who will never know what the blues actually is.

[@richardrejmer8721]

I have listened to Jimi's version of this ever since it was released in 1971, when I was 21 years old. . I know every note of that tune. . . THIS is the most FAITHFUL reproduction of that classic track I have ever heard in my entire life. . WELL DONE! I applaud you and your playing talent to be able to make this magical tune come to life before my old tired eyes. .

[@TheLoneDranger]

It always amazes me when learning Hendrix solos to see how much he accentuates the changes with 3rds and roots. He had to be doing it deliberately and must have started building his technique on this very early to make it come out so naturally and in such unexpected ways. Amazing job as always, Greg! Thank you!

[@mfkztm3146]

Dude, your patience and dedication to learning Hendrix is to me so far as I've seen is unparalleled. I think guitar players should compliment each other more. Your videos are very insightful and inspiring like Hendrix was. Thank you!

@@anton2417 they are up to par, but none compare to what Greg does. He is the closest to Hendrix’ tone, feel, cadence and all the above. i can’t imagine how many hours he listens and disciplines himself to learning each note. it’s just insanity that there are other people getting millions of views from Hendrix videos.

​@@sleuth-hb4htTrue & agreed... this is top shelf. But really, there's no point in comparing them. Randy's is totally another approach... he's a great live performer with bass & drums backing him, he sings, and being from Seattle his speaking voice even sounds like Jimi. His Who Knows and Machine Gun are fantastic... he plays it like the Fillmore East versions yet still makes it his own. Fly on...

And it must be great to be behind that guitar with this knowledge. The theory and inventiveness of Jimi was and is spectacular and fascinating to say the least.

Thank you. This song is still ahead of its time. Had an older brother so I've got introduced to Hendrix and that era of music very early. I started playing guitar to this day, I'm 46 now and Hendrix is something I always came back to, unique sound and feel. Not many people have ever tried to capture this song, only a few nailed it. You play it EXACTLY as Jimi did in the studio, you even nailed that Leslie effect and the tone, everything, it gave me goosebumps. I've always had issues with this song, in my head I know almost note for note how it goes but when I play I miss some parts, I'm having a hard time remembering everything right.
