Steve Costello performs Sunshine Of Your Love, a Jimi Hendrix guitar cover of the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s cover of the Eric Clapton Cream hit in the 1960’s, aside from the big hit Hey Joe. Steve’s guitar playing is similar to Jimi’s classic blues style, with improvised licks, rock riffs, various chords, bass lines and scales.

This Jimi Hendrix guitar cover of Sunshine Of Your Love is not one of the biggest of the Jimi Hendrix Experience greatest hits, but it is one of the most interesting with a lot of feedback and unique guitar sounds.

Some favorite Jimi Hendrix’s live shows with Sunshine Of Your Love’:

1-23-1969 Sportspalast Berlin
5-17-1969 Providence
9-4-1970 Berlin
… and many more.

The main influence for this rendition are the many live versions (many audience tapes of Jimi), therefore much of Steve’s influence is coming from many of these audience tapes of Jimi Hendrix’s live shows.

This song is in the Key of A, with the guitar making use of the the open strings, over a variation of a Blues progression, with 5 – b7 – b3rd (E – G – D) substituting for the typical 5 -4 -1 Blues turnaround.

Feedback sustain with a wawa pedal is tastefully achieved throughout the song with a rich heavy tone.

The guitar riffs have a good mix of repetitive and linear motives with feedback sustain (no whammy bar), combined with solid root resolutions of riffs, making listening to this rendition very enjoyable.

Analyzing songs is very enjoyable. Using the Deductive reasoning approach, songs are examined from the song key, down actual waveform frequencies, including the song progression, the analysis of melody including it’s motif, contour, rhythm and essential pitches. Actual waveform frequencies are examined using the tool Audacity for PC. Much thanks to Phil at Wings Of Pegasus for all the in-depth great videos, as he is excellent in song analysis and looking at the actual frequencies. Many thanks to Phil for the idea of using the great App VocalPitchMonitor for analysis. Phil’s work is very valuable, and one can learn much from him, so it is a good idea to check out his channel.

Enjoy!
