A different take on All Along The Watchtower (Link inside)

[GuitarFanatic]

I decided to do a cover of All Along The Watchtower without the solos, as my acoustic is missing a string and is in an open tuning.

Do you want an honest opinion ?

Sounds just like Dylan to me.

Sure. I was going for that Dylan vibe in this one.

Okay. So, honest opinions not wanted.

Q1) What sort of reaction were you hoping to get?
Q2) Is recording one string short and drawing attention to it by apologising the best possible way to present yourself?

In 2017, there will be an eighteen year old who will want to kick yo' sixteen year old butt for posting this video.

I was hoping to get a happy reaction, I didn't want to apologize but I am very apologetic. And yes I do want opinions on it, as I tried to do it in a different tuning.

It is a very original interpretation. The alternate tuning works great!

The alternate tuning seems to work fine for rhythm. Respectfully, I think that the singing could use some work though.

Sorry about my voice.. But yeah the alternate tuning works well. It's open E if anyone wonders.

I give you an A for effort... and thats what counts. Takes some cajones to put yourself out there.

Re: A different take on All Along The Watchtower (Link inside)

^ Agreed! There's nothing to be apologetic about, you had an idea and turned it into reality.

Yeah! I love playing it in an open tuning and it sounds great like that. If only I could solo as well as Jimi himself.
