Here is the acoustic version of Hendrix's Hear My Train A Comin'. It's played on a 12-string guitar and I think this video may have been made as a promotion for the guitar. Anyways, the track doesn't really start until 1 minutes in. Hendrix starts off by talking about "gimmicks," then plays a little, then asks to start over because he's so nervous. It is bizarre. There is no audience, he's playing for a recording, I don't know why he's nervous. He's one strange guy. That is all forgotten, however, when the tune starts. His guitar seems to be tuned funny, it doesn't sound like anything at all that I've heard before. The style is just unique, I can't even describe it. It certainly is not like the Blues tracks I've posted so far, a testament to his skills. It's safe to say Jimi could have made himself a star in any genre. Apparently, he did more songs in this recording, on the 12-string, but I can't find them. Hendrix's crazy fashion sense is showcased in this video. He's got his rings, some kind of polka dot jacket, and a decorated hat: weird. I was scared as to death can i just do it one more time, one more time! Here he is.
