I wonder how it feels knowing you’re literally one of the cleanest guitar players on the planet

These are not songs anymore these are classic operas timeless masterpiece

That switch between jimi and stevie style was so smooth!

Tone… Incredible Gear… 10/10 Production… Quality Shirt… Groovy Right Hand… God Tier

Man you are setting the bar incredibly high.

It’s rare to see someone hit every damn note AND not sound robotic at the same time. Just incredible. I can play. I just can’t play like this. I wish I could of course, but I still have fun. Peace brother

Unbelievable talent...You make this old dog happy thanks..👋👋👋👋👋

Great, now I'm pregnant

I seem to have misplaced my face, and/or various face-parts. Wait. Here’s my jaw. On the rug. Should have guessed. Anyway: DUDE!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Thank you for this video. This is an incredibly good cover! I am 72 years old and I am telling you this is some truly great playing! ROCK ON!

This is incredible! One thing i really feel is that The Jimi Hendrix Experience version was always the most psychedelic sounding than any of the other blues/rock sounding versions like Stevie Ray Vaughans. The bass, the drums and Jimi's solo was trippy into another dimension.

my new favorite guitarist right now

Unreal covers of Hendrix. Second to none.

Walking the fine line between Jimi and Stevie❤

That little dittle from 2:14 to 2:20 was just brilliant.

Now that there is thousands of hours of practice. Excellent rendition.

You're the living proof that you don't need gear worth 10k and more to nail these iconic sounds, it's all in the fingers. Awesome tribute!

Playing with absolute freedom of expression as it should be,

Your talent is just off the charts

I am a Hendrix connoisseur, I’ve watched 100s of people over the years attempt the great man’s work and you sir are by a country mile the best I’ve ever seen. I’m literally blown away by that, first video of yours I’ve ever seen. You have a gift and was born to play the guitar. You should have millions of subs. Thank you for that, had a huge smile on my face throughout.

Now that's something for the daily playlist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen so many versions n cover of this famous Jimi song, including SRV, but this is insane....every note is spot on ....and blending of both Jimi n SRV....I guess I've seen every thing now!!🙌

soul, technique and good taste in the right hands do magic

CHILLS CHILLS

Yes, brethren, the Force is strong with this one.

Playing it is genius. Coming up with it in the first place is on a whole different level.

Goose bumps and tears ❤

Из Москвы с любовью. Чувак, ты очень крут. Джимми и Стив сморят сверху и наслаждаются. 🤟🏼😎

you're a beast man. Unreal playing

i love to stay high e watch your video on tv in my living room with home theater

Well I stand up next to a mountain.......And I chop it down with the edge of my hand! Great work Sean!

My jaw drops...as i listen to youre playing mann.

I can't decide if this is inspiring or just makes me want to give up 😂 Amazing stuff.

Probably the cleanest I've ever seen.

Love the tone, amazing playing, such a breath of fresh air to see hear a real player with all these amateur tubers showing off senseless fast riffs, silly smiles, low cut clothing or hey I'm not looking at my fingers... yeah it's so nice to see someone that hasn't forgotten the main focus ... MuSic

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for not saying or playing anything remotely or otherwise to the effect that JM had anything to do with this classic.

I have to be honest my friend, this video took on a new meaning. I had to end playing the drums 6 years ago. After playing just about everyday for over 45 years, Cancer between my brain and skull and a 9 1/2 surgery knocked me down for a while. And just when things got back to almost normal 4 years later ....yep...once again I had to go for surgery . Easy surgery , but the added bonus of radiation treatments. 5 days a week for 3 months. I lost 35% of my body weight. That was the end of doing something that was such a huge part of my life.Lots of great memories. My son turned 14 and began listening to the same music as me. I waited for the question....and what do know...he wanted to play the guitar. Lol.. I buy him a guitar and amp...and offered to get him lessons. He wants to wait a little. I hear him playing some crazy metal music...Slipknot....and similar music. He's playing only for a few months and this kid has a great ear. He can tune his guitar several different ways....Several Drop tunings...Several open tuning...Half and full drop all by ear . No tuner ...no tuning to a album. After tuning it with a tuner for a short while , he can accurately tune it anyway he needs by ear. I always had a guitar and amp around the house too. Couldn't really play...but loved it. ( Here's where this video comes in. ) I asked him to try playing to some music where you can understand what their singing and hear the guitars without layers of distortion that drown out the talent of the musician. He likes Hendrix....I directed him to this video. I asked him to first try and learn Voodoo Chile with his distortion pedals , so when he got here he could appreciate what's going on with your playing. Well my friend...you save me from future headaches hearing Slipknot day in and day out, and distortion beyond belief. He thinks your a great guitarist too. I can tell when that internal switch went on and his love of music and his craft totally changed. So now I'm learning with him. I turned him on to this video so he can see what hard work, time and dedication can result in. So now he wants to get a Strat and learn these classics . Thanks my friend. No helicopters , no Heroin.... Like the old saying goes...last man standing. Thank you again.

This jam is so tight. It has to be the greatest rock n roll jam of all time. What a legendary tune.

I don’t think I can count how many times I’ve watched this but it always puts a smile on my face and inspires me to keep picking at my guitar. Thanks so much for sharing. 👏🏻💕🎸

Im an old man, dont make my heart race so much!! Loved it!!

Ive listened to this about 5000 times since i discovered it 90 days ago.. i cant get over how excellent it is!!

My whole house was set ablaze after clicking on this. Thanks a lot.

Everytime I click on your videos I expect something absolutely incredible, but yet, you suprise me with some absolute legendary playing man. Love it. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. KEEP IT UP. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT VIDEO

watching this for my daily dose of greatness and inspiration

Great job of combining Hendrix and SRV's sound, style and cleverness. Any musician can tell immediately it's not them playing, nor Shannon and Layton backing you. But it's obvious that the arrangement is influenced by them with pieces taken from their various performances so that it's almost like a flowing 'greatest hits' collection in one flowing solo. This is extremely hard to play clean, with expression as well as your own really tasteful style bits sprinkled in all over the place. A really interesting listen to that which few can pull off. Extremely well done. Kudos.

Man...no words...

I hear three greats! Two legends and one coming up the mountain... Jimi, Stevie and Sean Mann. Keep em' coming!!!

Some people are on earth for one reason and one reason only. Your‘s is playing the fricking guitar as if there was no tommorrow. Keep it up man, we are all listening!

HOLY Shit I gotta step my game up how does he even do this

That is as every bit as good as the better known musicians versions . Absolutely amazing .

Just fucking great, man...so fucking great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATIULATIONS.

Jimi & Stevie just gave a nod of approval and appreciation, beautifully done 🙏

I didn’t think I would sit through an 8+ minute video, let alone watch it utterly enthralled. You nailed SRV and Hendrix’s style, and let your own fly. Really first rate playing, and like everyone’s saying, it’s inspiring. I’ve got to go play now.

I love how you paid tribute, yet still put YOU in there too!! That is the trademark of a TRUE musician. Well done, sir!!

I love SRV but lately I’ve been deep diving into Jimi’s playing and it’s blown me away. I can’t believe he created all this incredible music 50 years ago. Truly the greatest. Check out Machine Gun Fillmore East live Jimi Hendrix. Masterpiece. Awesome stuff Sean

Never mind the playing.its the dedication and feel you put in it..great job

This is excellent because you made the version YOUR OWN....well done!!! You took Jimi and SRV inspiration and infused your own technique and that is exactly how what makes it shine. 15+ years of infusing Voodoo Child in my set lists and I also believe this is the most dynamic approach vs. trying to copy to sound like exactly the 2 greats. The opportunity to let your style blossom is the best approach to deliver this song and really make it magic.

Speechless.

Literally one of the best versions of this I’ve ever heard! Absolutely incredible! The closest to SRV anyone will ever get!

Those 2 guys have honestly come back from heaven and crept into your soul. Magic.

Holy sh*t man this is the best cover I ever saw! HUGE respect from a Hungarian guy 🙏

Absolutely Brilliant !!!

Wicked guitar chops

It NEVER gets old.....!

You are really good! Im just an older hobby player but I love playing

Damn this is by far the best cover of this song that I have ever heard and I've been playin for over 45yrs . The impeccable timing and clarity and musical direction is pure . I've heard seasoned studio guys as well as thousands of great players . Dude is a delight to listen to .

WOW... Talk About Talent!... Totally Amazing!... I'm Very Impressed! This is an "Over-the Top" Cover of this Song! You Totally Nailed It!!!...

i wish i had this level of playing and this great f*cking tone

What a sound guy...amazing, compliments!

You always have a seat at my casa! As long as you bring your playing hands!!

Fantastic musician!!! I listened to this musician's part many times! Very, very bright, talented, competent guitarist! Thanks!!!

jimi puts a hook in your soul, stevie steals it from you🤘🏼🤓🤘🏼 i remember the day stevie passed, driving into SF on the 101 with my brother, we pulled over for at least an hour, neither of us said a word...

This is so funky, chunky and clean.... Love it!!!! 🎸🤘🏼🎸🎸🎸 Greetings from Belgium.

The most beautiful thing is to see how much joi this dude has while playing, no ego involved, that's why he sounds so fucking awesome, great job man, Hendrix or srv would be proud for sure!!!

WOW. Best cover ever. I close my eyes it's SRV. That perfect sound and playing. Bravo from France!

Fenderrrrrrrrr foreverrrrrrr

DAAMMNNNN BEST SRV COVER ON RU-vidE!!! SO SMOOTH ❤‍🔥

One of the best cover on this song

Holy shit dude. I saved this to my Watch Later a couple weeks ago and just watched it now on the surround. This is best, cleanest cover I’ve seen on the Internets my friend. That strat clearly loves you.

Dude, you're channeling! Hairs standing up on back of my neck, etc.

I love the authenticity of what you do. It's great playing and so tight. Well done. These kind of videos are very inspiring and they bring a new audience to experience the greats that started it all. It's hard to be original anymore, but I do think you have infused your own rhythmic chops in there that work really well. Keep em coming.

Had to stop the video 2 minutes in, subscribe to your channel, then resume. Awesome man.

Man this the best cover of this song on the whole internet. I'm mesmerized from your cover🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Literally the best cover I've ever seen on RU-vid. Can't believe that audio was recorded simultaneously with video. You are beast!

Everything about your playin is just perfect. You're gifted! ❤️🎸👏

Dayam. Looks like you’re using the SRV grown a** man strings too. Bravo.

Deeeyyymmmmmmmmmm!!!!! ‎‍🔥‎‍🔥‎‍🔥‎‍🔥‎‍🔥

This ist one of the hardest Hendrix Songs to play. Wow!

This is absolutely one of the best versions I've seen. So good

Can’t believe i havnt commented since I discovered ! Im listening to this a lot, maybe my most replayed youtube video. Words cannot describe the inspiration i get from this. I always pickup my guitar, everyday, thinking maybe one day I’ll be as good in my own style. Thanks, absolute madness of guitar mastery

Think the guitar needs a cigarette after that

Extraordinary!!

I'm actually speechless, but still compelled to leave a comment! Your clean playing, and artful interpretations of Jimi and Stevie absolutely blew me away. I just stumbled into your channel and immediately subbed. I'm humbled and motivated at the same time.

2:40 absolutely blew my mind wtf

SRV is up there smiling!

What a absolute banger!!! Incredible.. More content like this 😊

sean mann & Vinai T they're best in SRV style 🙌

Unreal. This is so fuckin clean. So many hours of work behind that… just impressive.
