Yesterday I busted out my strat and I fooled around for awhile, then recorded this using Garage Band. I know some parts aren't completely smooth, but keep In mind, I don't use sheet music, I don't even know what cord is which. I just kinda taught myself. I acknowledge that the original version is by The Leaves... but the best rendition of it was by Jimi Hendrix. And yeah I know the audio portal isn't really meant for covers of songs.... but whatever.

I love Deep Purple

Wonderful. To me, the guitar was a little etchy, but great anyway.

Well,

When I saw Hey Joe-funkified I kind of thought it would be bad, but the middle sounded good. It could probably be better with a singer who sounded like Hendrix(The Prince of Rythym and one of my all time favorites, along with the Beatles)

rockyace42 responds:

Yeah, vocals would sure rock. Too bad I sound like absolute utter shit. And i agree they dont make stars like Hendrix anymore.

Pretty Good

You do a good job on this song, in some aspects, it's pretty hard to cover considering it's such a classic, but it's also such a sweet jam. If you tightened up your guitar just a little bit, and turned down the wah a good amount then this could be really good.

rockyace42 responds:

Thanks man. I know, yeah I should've put a bit more effort into this baby. I was bored one day and decided to jam. Guess i'll try again next time.

this needs drums!

Did you make it with FL Studio?
If yes, this needs drums! (it´s great but...IT NEEDS DRUMS!)
if you tell me the speed of the song, I would try to make drums for it. (I have EZ Drummer).

rockyace42 responds:

Nope. GarageBand. And if i have enough free time, I might collab sometime!
