Jimi Hendrix - Castles Made Of Sand (guitar and bass arrangement)
'Castles Made Of Sand' is surely a contender for one of Jimi Hendrix's most beautiful songs.... This is our version - not an attempt to recreate the original, though I did try to recreate Jimi's backwards guitar solo....
I'm using my Danelectro 59X - a bit of a nod to the Danelectro that Hendrix had during his time in the Army. Huge thanks to Dan Rogers for joining me on bass for this one!

    Use an instrument cable with a right angle plug to attach to the Spark Go. That will prevent it from being top heavy and pulling the amp over. That’s how I use mine.

  • @TNT123NT
    @TNT123NT 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I enjoyed the review, however I would question whether it is a fair to compare your benchmark favorite Blue Chip, with a thickness of 1.25mm, with THIN low cost Dunlop picks. At least chose the Dunlop picks of a similar thickness. Perhaps we should take into account the modulus of the different materials for each pick - sorry I perhaps should of explained that I am a plastic scientist/technologist & guitar player. Modulus is the inherent stiffness of a material. Therefore, I would perhaps consider using a thicker plectrum for plectrums using a lower modulus material. For a relatively low cost pick, my favorite is the Dunlop Ultex - pale yellow - thickness 1.0 mm. Incidentally, the Dunlop Prime Tone is also made out of Ultex. Clearly it is the same plectrum but made to look like the Blue Chip.

    Are you the brother of Forty Thousand Watt? I listened to you play - I think you are a time traveller. At some point you were trapped between floors in a lift with Steve Hillage. He transmitted the dharma. Just on that: You sometimes meet a little person in their stroller, and they have these icey firey eyes and look right through you. That's a new guitar player coming up. If you know anyone like this, viewer, then get that kid a uke or a banji. They'll do the rest. They are here to burn boards.

To me listening on a cheap USB speaker, obviously the Strat and the 12 string sounded different from the other guitars, and the H7 sounded quite different from the rest of the humbucker/P90 guitars. I was surprised how similar the Danelectro was to the humbucker guitars. Not the same, but considering the differences in construction and PU, not very different.
