Well, in a couple of hours, I’m gonna fix myself a cocktail and I’m gonna listen to both versions, Jimi and Stevie, and I’m gonna see what I hear, and I might report back. I wonder if art really is subjective.
Well, when I saw this here I thought, okay, this is now Jimi. But nooooo, it’s the same version Mark posted earlier. Anyway, thanks, Hal, for the Jimi version. I searched, too, and found this Jimi version:
…and now I’ve concluded that, yes, both are pretty much masters. However, on this particular song, and only on this particular song, I have to say that Jimi takes the prize. I see/hear Stevie’s expertise, especially in terms of the blues, I mean the blusie quality, and technically near perfect. But with Jimi, it’s about soul, a level of soul that just seems to go deeper and beyond. I am no guitar aficionado, but I know what I feel.
Sometimes it’s just a relief to talk about things, things that exist outside tyranny. Sigh…
That is another cover, sis. Weird that it’s difficult to find some chunes on jootube.
I was trying to find one that is just a Jimi instrumental. Crazy control of things out there.

“Jimi Hendrix – Hear My Train A Comin’ (Lyric Video)” jootube. This one has a good solo, Galen. I ain’t good using this fking stupid phone, my hotspot is used up. I may give this thing the sledge!
Thanks, Hal. Wow. And dead at 27. What can I say but I was here:
Thanks Hal and EOTS. I guess each individual comes with his/her own perceptions. And it occurred to me that difference of perception, difference of opinion may be influenced by generational perspective. I know I’m older than you guys, so it just might be that in my time, Jimi was king and quite possibly I am unable to dethrone him. Ha!! Well, I’ll listen to Stevie more now and see what his soul says.
I’m glad we had this discussion. Temporary relief from the insanity. Currently I find myself mourning the forests and all they are enduring. Always something.
I think it’s just a style and how they approach the music
Also I have found , living in different areas bring influence to the player and their own original sound
As I know I can only copy them ,as my sound and how I play is different than them
The uniqueness of each musician makes them and their sound like no other
I certainly would sit down and listen to anything , either guitarist would play
I’m sure age and era also play a role
I love the blues, too. It casts a mood like nothing else. Would love it if somehow all the Trencher guitar players could be heard by other Trenchers. Somehow, someday.

Jimmi plays it
SRV refines it
That’s my take as a blues guitar player
My 2cents
I agree. Stevie was an antenna which picked up many freqs.
