Stowe, Mark, Stevie, Ray, Texas

And now for something completely different . . .Just a simple arrangement of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" played on a 3 string fretless Cigar Box Guitar that I made. No effects, just a little overdrive on the amp. Growing up left handed, people always wanted me to play some Hendrix. So I'm just having fun and trying to keep true to the spirit of the blues from which this song was written.

Oh yeah! Jimi is greatest idol for me!!! Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is Jimi's best song and there is so much blues! This is great blues version of this wonderful master piece! Fantastic job! Beautiful guitar and skilled left handed player...!!!

I don't think changing the key or pitch is gonna help my singing . . .lol

It's a brilliant interpretation! I agree with Keni Lee on maybe adjusting up the key, but you nailed it brother!
