Topic: Jimi Hendrix cover: Bold As Love

I've always loved Jimi Hendrix music and listened to this album a lot.
My first exposure to Hendrix was his first album "Are You Experienced?" because my teenage aunts and uncle had the album.
Made a huge impression on me as a child.
It never ever occurred to me to even attempt a cover of a Jimi Hendrix song because he is one of the greatest guitar players.
I knew I would never be anywhere close to that good.

But I had to try it so I got the chords and dumbed it down to my skill level... just played it my way.
Gave it the best I had in my own simple way:

Re: Jimi Hendrix cover: Bold As Love

I'd like to say you didn't dumb it down at all. You did a very good rendition and made it your own. Jimi would be proud! Nice job!
