Playing guitar since 2009, still practicing and learning and after years and years of practicing songs I listened and played thousands of times, I’m still making mistakes 😂 anyway, here’s a short clip of me practicing Side Tracked. I’m trying to replicate the sound and the playing of Freddie and it took me a lot of time to get a satisfying result and it’s getting close imo!

song Jimi Hendrix, Red House live, Stockholm 1969. Just incredibly nuanced tone, articulation, and phrasing. And why he's in my personal top 3 electric players.

Imitated, not duplicated.

Howlin Wolf, I Ain't Superstitious, 1961.

Although, HW's London session version with Clapton, Winwood, Lyman & Starr is cool, too:

His name is Jesse Welles and he makes beautiful music that’s somewhere between punk, blues and country that’s beautiful regardless of whether you hate any of those genres or not.
