“It’s not him soloing my friend it’s Jimi.”
Shit, just Google “All Along the Watchtower” and Dave Mason’s name and kick back and listen to him play electric guitar, my friend.
Hendrix had been working on and off with the members of the band Traffic as he recorded Electric Ladyland. Traffic guitarist Dave Mason caught Hendrix at a party and the two discussed Bob Dylan’s newest album, John Wesley Harding, containing “All Along The Watchtower.” Hendrix, long fascinated with Dylan, decided to cover the song on the album. On the resulting track, Mason plays rhythm on a 12-string acoustic guitar.
Mason did his own Watchtower .Maybe you’re talking about that ..That’s a pretty unknown track . PS I a Traffic fan and always dug Mason. We were discussing major solos and the Watchtower everyone was talking about was the Hendrix version. Perhaps this is the mixup.
