A friend of mine has posted steampunk version of "All Along The Watchtower", written by Dylan and covered by Hendrix. I like the Transylvanian accent and the sub theme of the Dragon. What does the dragon mean? Actually, what does the song mean -- I don't think anyone has figured it out! He just started the Youtube website so feel to subscribe.
Enjoyed it ... despite the junior high level guitar work. :-)
Thanks for posting.
Besides Hendrix, I think Dave Mason also did a great version of this song.
Yeah, um, not my cup of tea.
Dave Mason, Neil Young, Chrissy Hyde...
Sucked,thanks
I liked it. It should have been out there for halloween.
A friend of mine remastered Dave Mason’s album with “All Along The Watchtower” and burned a copy for me direct from the raw studio master tapes - music is great and the sound quality is phenomenal!

Yes, no Mixolydian, Dorian or Carolinian forest mode. No tapping, sweeping, scraping — those skills guitarists used around the home and garden. But you know, if high school students can play Hendrix you can ask how great was Hendrix? And if high school students can do calculus then how great was Newton and Leibniz? My only criticism is that he starts with octaves in both the second and third solo. It’s repetitive and some other technique could have been used... or maybe do it with a wah wah pedal to break up the sound.
I should check it out. I never heard it. I know Mason played on Hendrix’s version, I think it was 12 string.
That’s great!
Yes, Dracul, the dragon!
By the way, today is Jimi Hendrix’s 76th birthday.
Happy Birthday, Jimi.
That song derailed the reboot Battlestar Galactica series with weirdness
Thanks for that. It never occurred to me that the joker could have been Jesus. The joker is the truth teller because he doesn’t care about his worldly status in society. Jesus also says he is the TRUTH. But the second verse the thief seems to have a lot of wisdom and maybe that’s why he saw what he saw...
He is a crap player and covering that up by using a wah wah pedal isn’t going to help... and no he can’t play Hendrix.
I did enjoy the video. The transylvania angle was cool.
Well, it’s great that we all see what we see.
