My band playing "Wind Cries Mary"

[mark wein]

I've had this on my youtube channel for a while and forgot it was there...just ran across it (and a few more songs from this gig) this morning...

 

[Spudman]

That was real cool especially the part where you light your guitar on fire. :dude:
I'm happy that you are on thefret sharing all this good stuff with us.:AOK:

 

[Algonquin]

Sounded great Mark... well rehearsed and well played! That's a really good band you've got there.

Pretty good cover. The wind cries Mary was our marriage song, so I have a special relation to that number....

Well done my friend, thanks for sharing.

 

[duhvoodooman]

Nice Hendrixian clean Strat tone there, Mark. Well done! :dude:

...uuum...that would be pretty expensive fire wood!

Thanks guys! I might post a couple of other tunes from that show...

Sounds great, Mark. You nailed that solo pretty good.

What amp were you using?

Thanks!

My 1971 Deluxe Reverb...it has a Celestion Greenback in it, so it is a little different sounding than stock. I probably had my RC Booster on, too....it was about a year ago....

By the way, I am currently working on a piano version of Mary. My piano playing is still in the beginnings but I am trying at least....it's only a short clip, still have to figure out the solo...

Very cool! :AOK:

 

[JJ Gross]

Nice version of that!
Good dynamics from the band, especially that one part where they don't blow over the top of you. :rotflmao:

Nice to hear someone do a Hendrix cover and not need all kinds of Swirly-Girly effects on top of a cranked Tube Screamer covering up sloppy playing.

Not that that's always a bad thing ... :whatever:

Cheers,

Thanks!

I'm fortunate that the guys I play with have such a surplus of taste they make up for my wanking

We've actually been doing this one lately where the band doesn't come in until the second verse...the keyboard player does this "B-3 in church Procol Harum" thing until that part for me to sing over that is pretty cool...hopefully I'l get a good video of it next month....

Hey Jimi, what happened to the clip? I went back to listen and it had gone away.

 

[just strum]

Mark,

I came across that clip over the weekend, enjoyed it a lot. Just surfing through your stuff and stumbled on it.


Jimi,

Sounds nice - you have one hell of a voice and the piano playing sounds smooth.

Cool, works now and sounds great! Mark, if I didn't say so before, I also really like your version very much!

Thanks Iago!

The guitar is a Suhr Classic with their v60lp single coils in the neck and middle and a DSV in the bridge...

 

[aeolian]

I like it too.

Jeezus, thats just a completely 100% Hendrix tone! You're really getting what you paid for no doubt hehehe

It is a great guitar...I am really happy with both Suhrs....

I think the thing to remember though is that all he really did was plug a strat into a tube amp...I think people get a little crazy sometimes trying to get "the tone"...I have some nice gear but I should be able to get a workable sound from any decent guitar and amp. The last few gigs we've done I've played this one on my Tele and I thought it sounded pretty good...

Great sound Mark, pro band. Love that tone and vocal:AOK:
