A nice version of one of Jimi's more melodic moments. Oh, yeah. Love the bar rolls!

Just saw Larry's video and was liking the mellow sound and setting.

Thanks for reviewing this one. Larry certainly knows his way around that number. I find it almost unbelievable that it is 50 years since I saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience at Woburn in the UK.

Been one of my favorites in the fretted world since I was a teenager. But a question from a place of ignorance...what exactly are bar rolls? Something related to the hammer-ons/roll-offs? Not a term I've sorted out, yet...

Not sure, but I think he meant at 3:13 in the video he lets the bar roll on the strings. Look Ma, no hands! I'm more ignorant then you are about this stuff, but that's what I think Dave meant.

I've watched this video several dozens of times over the years. Love Larry's techniques and tone.

He lifts the steel with his knee at times to let the bar roll forward or back.

I'm trying my hardest to get this song somewhere even close to Larry's delivery.

I use a tapered bar and it doesn't work so well!

Haha, you're right...hadn't noticed that before...he's quite a bit more daring than I!!

What year/model guitar is Larry using in the clip?

Body material?
