Jammin on the Jimi Hendrix song Hear My Train A Comin'. This was one of the first riffs I ever learnt. Jimi played Hear My Train A Comin differently every time, so my version is a mixture of all the Hendrix versions I've been listening to.
Hear My Train A Comin' is definitely a great track to jam to, I can understand why Jimi always included it in his live show.
The gear I'm using is my home made 1961 relic Stratocaster which has Fatboy Guitars MC-68 pickups... into a Maxon CP-101 compressor... into a Budda Wah upgraded with tropical fish capacitors... into a home made BC-108 Fuzz Face clone with input buffer... into a home made LPB-1 clean boost... into a 1977 Fender Twin Reverb (silverface) with WGS speakers (WGS 12C/s and WGS ET 65).
It took me three years to build my relic Stratocaster and get it right. The real icing on the cake is the pickups which are made by Fatboy Guitars. They're the MC-68's which are based on late 60's Stratocaster pickups. These really get you the Hendrix sound, and every pickup combination sounds great. You really get that chiming tone which Jimi Hendrix got at his Royal Albert Hall and Woodstock and Berkeley performances...
I'd heard a lot about tropical fish capacitors, how they are a 'must' for vintage tone, so when I found some I got me a few... Well, I can say that they definitely give you the unmistakable character of Jimi Hendrix's Wah Wah sound. I wouldn't say they're any better than the capacitors my wah came with, they've just got the right tonality which is perfect for any Hendrix sound you want to get. Tropical fish caps are rare, so if you find some in the values you need for your wah, snap em up right away!
My Fuzz Face has BC-108 silicon transistors and has a totally transparent input buffer so that it works well with the Wah Wah. I'm going to be making some of these to sell soon, so if you like what your hearing, and would like one, keep tuning in to Pearl Blues for more information which will be coming out later this year...
My Fender Twin Reverb is a 1977 and is completely stock except for the new WGS speakers. Warehouse Guitar Speakers are really great upgrades for any amp, and they have many different models to choose from. I have a 12 C/s which is a Jensen C12N type speaker with a smooth cone for slightly less top end (good in a Fender Twin) and an ET-65 which is a Celestion type speaker. The 12C/s captures the throaty depth and warmth of the classic Jesnsen speaker while the ET-65 captures the punch and articulation of the classic Celestion speakers, so this is a great combination for a guitarist who wishes emulate tones from the differing set-ups of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. And since upgrading to these speakers my amp sits much better in the mix than it ever did before...
I don't think Hear My Train A Comin' is covered by many well known guitarists. Although Randy Hansen and Stan Skibby both do great versions. Perhaps it is too much of a ''Jimi Hendrix song'' for another artist to adapt and change it. I think Jimi said everything that needed to be said with this song...

Its not just the great playing. Its the amazing groove!
Thanks man, glad you like it ;)
It seems to me that the others who play Hendrix more or less well mainly imitate him - some very well - but you seem to actually connect with him.... There's a nice balance of humility and greatness here!
Thank you man I really appreciate that comment. Peace :)
Blew my mind. Such talent. Why arent you famous?
This is unusually good, captures the feeling like one rarely hears in even the best covers.
when im feeling down i love lisining to your hendrex...☆..
Thanks man, I'm glad you like it... an I'm glad it picks you up when you're down 👍
And that trains playing a Strat 😎
Absolutely amazing!
Thank you ;)
Nailing Hendrix is a life long commitment and you my friend have my deepest admiration .
Thank you :)
@PearlBlues : I know that this is an older video of yours, but it's so cool to see you while you are playing, you really are in the zone, and we just can't help but to to float and follow you along.... Thanks for sharing these priviledged moments with us ........ Cheers, -dan
Thanks man :)
I wish this guy would start a concert and records👍😎 this guy is fantastic
Larry Seagraves... Thank you man :)
I watch every day- and to watch and learn from you. Thanks ol bro!!
Yeah but he's also stoned to the freaking bone and I'm not talking weed stoned, I mean seriously stoned. I guess it's okay, if you don't mind advertising that kind of thing but if you can't see that, you must be stoned. J.S.
@@edwinpringle7342 I don't smoke and very rarely drink.
pearl blues dont you worry bro. Some people are so poor all they have is hate and envy. Keep doing what you’re doing. Amazing job 🎸🎸🎸
Master piece....
Thanks man ;)
Atta boy...one love brother.
One love :)
There is a reason Hendrix is a guitar god.
Closest I've ever heard to Jimi's sound and feel. love your work man
Thanks man 👍
Damn! Brilliantly executed both in technique and emotion.
Thanks man, glad you like it 👍
Cool !!! praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe,
SIRONEDRAGAN... That's it my friend :)
What a sound... great
Thank you :)
absolutely perfect and hauntingly accurate rendition of a HENDRIX EXPERIENCE classic... I was there in 1967 at age 17 and saw this live from 50 feet away ...great job & thankyou !!!
boudreau110... Thank you man, I'm glad you like my video. What an amazing experience to have seen Jimi playing up close like that. Where did you see him play? I wonder if there are any bootlegs of that show out there...
One logistical problem in the comment is that Machine Gun and Hear My Train a Coming didnt hit the set until 1969 which means that there's no way it would have been in the 67 set which was Are You Experienced and other Material but point taken if you saw Jimi that's living on a large level in the music audience world... thanks for sharing but revisit to the right venue and year. By metaphor the airplane in 69 was a world of difference from 67 so was Jimi. Jimi was Next Gen Jimi by 69
@@deancarsononmusic2792 Correct Dean, Jimi just started working on Hear my train in summer ‘69. Even calling it Getting my heart back together at Woodstock.
incredible playing... just incredible.... a treat for these ol' ears!
Wow!! That tone is enormous! Amazing job
The whole song, but especially the part right here 6:48, sounds so perfect that if you had played me this and not told me *who* was playing it I would have almost 100% said it was Hendrix himself. Those licks, and the way you played them, are right-on! I'll be happy if I practice my whole life and sound anything like this haha
Thank you man ;)
Starts out with great tone then blows you away with great technique! Really nicely done!
Thank you man... I appreciate it :)
sublime
Very nice.
Thanks man 👍
Whatever it is this guy has it
Thanks man! :D
Shivers down my spine!!! Excellent job!!!
Scary Good!👍👍👍
its a pity i can only like this once!
NICE ! VERY NICE !
Thank you 👍
thanks Joe, this is to be played at full volume in a dark room, let it just wash me away.
lawd have mercy
respect jordie
+Jordie0001 Thank you Jordie, maximum respect going out to you :)
Just like in the 60s and 70s! A little strobe light, a black light with some black light posters, some psychedelic lights, a bit of pot.......PERFECT! Thank you for the memories, Joe! No, no more pot for me. It's been years, but the music is great!
sir hood... Thank you man, but how do you know my name?
excellent! thanks for sharing
Thanks man ;)
great work Hendrix would approve that.
+starlin hembree Thank you sir :)
+starlin hembree Yeah, cos he was a bloody lousy axeman. That's why.
+Kodiak and Grizzly Bears Hendrix lousy?? Now I've heard it all!
pearl blues
You're much better than Hendrix.
Kodiak and Grizzly Bears Thank you sir :)
Never played the same way twice- just like Jimi, well done!
Im a huge jimi fan but never really got into this song. You just changed that bro! I will be learning this soon! I love your small notes an touches that make this version so dynamic. Well done!
So nice. Great soulful, laid back, and clean style. Something for me to work toward. Thank you.
Thank you man, keep working at it you'll get there :)
Amazing!!

Nailed it dude.
Absolutely love this mate, that turnaround is so buttery, i feel jah bra!!!
Thank you 👍
Some guys shred at the speed of light but cannot play with feel or soul..you young man have a gift that flows. I'd also love to hear you get into some Robin Trower..Bridge of Sighs, Too Rolling Stoned etc..Or maybe you have & I have"t seen it but I know you have a fan in me..You fucking rock
Thanks man... glad you like it 👍 (sorry for such a delay in replying, youtube doesn't give me a lot of notifications, so I have to go through the videos to see what I've missed...)
Psalm 150 - 4 ,, and i keep watching- how you play,,, i keep learning- just how!! And I enjoy the play
Larry Seagraves... Thank you... stick with it!
Is that not 'praise the LORD' with timbrels,strings organs and dance if i remember!
@@vulgarresponse7080 That’s it! “Praise him with timbrel and dance, praise him with strings and pipe.”
@@smedleybutler5276 That version was in my kjv, I think the 'wording' does vary according to which version you read.
3:37 is straight hendrix, on point.
Thanks dude 👍
Soooooooooo dope man
Thanks man 👍
Damn! You nailed it.
Thank you 👍
Enjoyed that jam! Do more! 🔥🔥
I have to write, I must write, you sir beside the greats was a heavy influence on me, god only knows how many times I have listened to this stellar version of hear my train a comin, more than the man version, the man himself, I remember clearly, picking the guitar for the first times, and that was the first riff I've ever played, thanks to you sir, I was plugging my guitar and not to be shameful and just play the hell out of this riff, messin around, and then coming back, you have taught me valuable lessons dear friend, I feel obligated to say thanks at least, so thank you dear friend.
Thanks man, that's an awesome comment, I really appreciate it. I'm glad my video has helped you learn, and funnily enough it was the first riff I learnt too 👍
Hhhhhhh oddly enough xD but beautiful coincidence, one of the all time best riffs , it always starts somewhere. wish you a happy new year sir, hope you're going to feed us more music. You rock 🤘
@@Zocrates8 Thanks man... happy Christmas and new year to you too👍
I'm gonna be doing more videos in the new year, just waiting to upgrade my recording gear...
Such great playing .... great tone .... great command of stretching your notes anywhere you wanna take em to the precise note .... you are a gifted player ! God gives it something's but you took the time to work on that gift ! Thanks for sharing ! Peace to you too ! Dee
Dee Jones... Thank you :) Yep it certainly takes time and work to get good, but I give thanks, because God has helped me all along the way. Peace :)
I like this song and you play it really well and the sound is great
Nice
I’ve watched this more times than I can count. I’ve learned so much from this. I used to listen to this and play air guitar when I was a kid, Rainbow bridge album. There’s so much in there, and you just kick it over the fence. Thanks Pearl aloha
Thanks man, I appreciate it! … by the way I have Rainbow Bridge on vinyl, you can see it on the shelf behind me in some of my other videos, great version of Hear My Train on it ;)
Wow!
The best cover. I'm feeling it, like jimi meant it to be felt. You're the perfect channel.
Thank you ;)
WOW! How did he do that? Amazing, the tone, the sequencing, the timing, all perfect.
Thanks man ;)
So sad that we can only "like" once! ;-) Awesome work dude !

Michael Anthony... Thank you man I appreciate that! Peace :)
How jimi would have done it, great job man👏🎸
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
Aw yeah, thats what im talking about, sounding good there bro, playing from the heart
+Brian Yarbrough Thank you :)
Real nice. Great sound and vibrato. Those bends. People always forget what a great bender he was.
+Kyler J Thank you, I'm glad you noticed the string bending, it's something I've spent a lot of time working on. I think a lot of the top guitarists today neglect string bending in comparison to say Jimi and others, like SRV, BB King and Albert King etc. But a lot of modern guitarists have their guitars set with a low action, and a low action makes string bending harder (in my experience)...
Entirely! When you learn from someone like Jimi you quickly learn that he isnt a speed demon. Hes all soul
Kyler J That's right :)
Love Hendrix great performance
long live Hendrix!!
My thoughts exactly!
wow
thank you :)
Fantastic talent, really enjoyable, just like all great music
great video, also i think everybody oversaw that psalm 150:4. But that was a real cool thing to do.
Thanks man! So many famous bands and singers are into things like Satanism and Kabala, so I have to make my own stand...
Very nice job~Spot on, thnx!
Purplexi... Thank you... cool name by the way ;)
