I recorded this in my room on an apollo twin duo into protools. i used a shure sm7 on my vocals goin through a boss VE-2 vocal harmonizer pedal. Im playing on a Larivee om model with an lr baggs anthem preamp through an lr baggs venue di. i used a slate vms mic to capture an ambient blend of the guitar and vocal with a Kaotica Eyeball to reduce unwanted room reflection.

This is my version of one of my favs! Jimi Hendrix has been a huge influence on me since i started playing guitar when i was 8. i love playing this song at my gigs but i noticed that when i play this song solo something felt missing. i realized theres no real chorus making the song feeling like an element was missing. sooo one night while playing it i heard in my head "oooohh somtimes i get a good feeling" which is from an old etta james song. i superimposed that line between the verses and now its an awesome surprise when ever i play it for people. now it feels complete to me :).

also for you music theory nerds (like me) since the chords are Bm-A-G-A...i found that pedaling the B for all the chords adds a really nice texture throughout the tune.
