Hi friends if you're wondering why I've disappeared and gone nowhere, please click this link to find out . www.gofundme.com/jamesbell. I'm in desperate times and really need help. I would really appreciate anyone sharing this link too!!
James Bell X James Bell where are you from,,,,you just got 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸out of me!🇺🇸
@@joemorrow8411 . James is from a place called Stoke on Trent in Staffordshire England. It's about halfway between Birmingham and Manchester.
Keep getting Better James, your talents are incredible but Health comes first.
@Crispen Drye
Come on Crispen do you really mean that. Lmao. I thought it was a breath of fresh air.
@Cardinal Sin I hope you meant murdering in a good way !
this young man is a true musician....
Thank you! I'm making a classic rock album this month... Would that be something you'd be interested in?
This is such a rarity. There are many players on CZcams, but it's extremely rare to come across someone with the full rounded technical and emotional sense of what guitar playing is actually all about. Technique, nuance, emotion and construction are abundant with James as natural gifts.
Nicely stated
Phenomenal dexterity
Finer than wine!!
I don't know what is more wonderful, the song or James...
BEST EVER VERSION OF HEINDRIX
INSTRUMENTAL OF THIS SONG.
HEINDRIX WILL LOVE THIS GUY.
Thank you so much!! Can you email jamesbellguitar@gmail.com just saying “Hi” so I can send you an original song?
Not to mention that he's playing this with a squier. Top notch dude!
That was absolutely AMAZING. To be truthful, I even think Jimi would appreciate your talent. :D
I am POSITIVE JH would love this. POSITIVE !
I have come back to this video on numerous occasions as a Hendrix fan, well done James for keeping Jimi’s music alive and truly well, excellent !!!!
Same mate he got some style there bud
For some reason, I started bopping around the net listening to renditions of All Along The Watchtower. After around 20 versions, yours was by far the best. Very entertaining. I'm gonna go back and listen to it again. -- Dude, I just read what going on in your life. Very painful to read (although not remotely near the pain you've been living with). I believe in God and I know he answers prayer. I'm blessed to work in a Christian store and we pray every day. I will put you on our prayer list. We've seen countless prayers answered over the years. What you are going through is not by accident. We will pray that you are brought back to full health. Start thanking God ahead of time for what he is going to do for you. He is above ALL things. Look towards him and know he is by your side and loves you. He knows the number of hairs on your head. He knew you before you were born. There is no greater love. God bless you. (I donated to your GoFundMe)
Makes me think about smashing my guitar to bits, followed James for years now, genius,pure genius.
Without Hendrix's cover of this Dylan track this and many more covers wouldn't exist. However in my 73rd year I can say most excellent young man and you have put your own stamp on it rather than just copying like many can. Bravo.
Just Love It , Brah.....Nothing Like it in the world! That's All You ! Take Off To Where You Are! Don't stop there....Be Everywhere!
just beautiful. period
Im in AWE of that playing!!!!!!!
Why doesn't this kid have at least 200k subs? Amazing!
Who knows if he flew some rc models( which is good) around that would do it ,doesn't make sense.
Holy shit. I think you're actually better than me. It takes a lot for me to admit that, but your phrasing is top fucking notch, man. Don't let your skill go to waste. You really have what most guitarists are lacking. This is so much more impressive than most people will realize. It's not the technicality..it's that goddamn phrasing. I tip my hat to you.
One of the best this song covered
Thank you! If you like this... You might like original Classic Rock album! I hope you like it if you check it out!
Well, i think this the best guitar solo version i have ever heard....over.
Nice Tone Guys going somewhere....I also do a pretty Cool version......Greg Demeter version....Yes, right Here on You Tube..Check It Out....If it peeks you curiosity ???????
From a musician from the 60's, that was awesome !!
James Bell is the most exciting guitarist for 30 years! He has unbelievable technical ability but has feel n soul not heard since Slash n Michael Sckenker at there peak
Fil from Wings of Pegasus said to visit. I am pleased to help at all with the awful illness that befell you and looking forward to hearing you play. Best luck to you, you talented soul!
I can't take this, too good.
Billy Gibbons once overheard someone saying "I could sound like that if I had a $5000.00 guitar. You made that Fender Squire sing. Yet again I loved it! Keep going!
Ok, that little hammer on. Or what ever it was, it was perfect. Somehow this young man understands what song this is.
Something about the sound of a strat is magical. Nice! Had to comment again! Loved it!
Has a touch of of srv to it
Hi! :3
.....it his fingers .....don t you hear this ...man
It's a squire not a strat.
@McFly no such a thing, a strat is a fender, a squire is a cheap knock off of fender. Squire is a brand and is fender.
Amazing! We need more people like u who know good music
Joe powell thank you so much!! If you like this I have some original songs too that i hope you'll check out and maybe purchase jamesbell.bandcamp.com/album/the-capital

JAMES, SOME OF MY EARLIEST ROCK MEMORIES ARE OF HENDRIX. YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. KEEP IT UP.
MINE TOO MATE! Thank you!! I think you may enjoy checking out my albums of original songs on bandcamp, they're very Hendrix influenced.
jamesbell.bandcamp.com
Outstanding mate and great tone
I like the way that you didn't follow how the song is supposed to go during the vocal parts, makes it less boring
Don't understand, it's just slightly boring?
James, congrats on this cover. Superb technique, tone, and vibe. So much promise and talent at your age. Just blows me away. First videos I saw yesterday were your UFO covers and was immediately hooked. Wish you all the success. Keep posting these videos!
Same Minded....Go Everywhere!
Still my favorite video of all time on CZcams. Nothing better out there.
Jimi Hendrix, Greg Howe, Guthrie Govan, Robin Trower, & Glen Campbell...a few of my favorite influential guitarist. James....you've made my list :) Thanks for keeping your style in that piece and making it your own. Great job!
Oh YES Squire! And a nice bit of finger-picking work to boot. Played it three times in a row. Great feeling. You have a soul full of music James, and you're letting us hear it. Thank you.
👏 👏 👏 👏 Bravo darlin! Jimi would be proud. Very talented. Stay centered! Don't let the industry steal your soul! Stay true to your music & heart ♥ ✌ 💋🍻
Phenomenal guitar work, and played with real fucking feeling which absolutely makes it and impresses. One talented dude right here.
Nice playing man!
One of the best covers I've heard.
LOVELY IM SO SAD WITH YOUR MUSIC I PRAY FOR YOU AND CRY I LOVE IT!!VIVAT JAMES KING OFF GB!!!
Finally, an equal to Jimi. As one who personally seen Jimi in concert 3 times, I can assure you that you have the hutzpah of Jimi all over you. I’ve seen videos of this song all over the place and none can hold a candle to this except Jimi’s. This flippin’ rocked.
Wow, if that is true, I salute you my good sir, I could bombard with some many questions but I wouldn't have the time lol, wow, what an experience that must of been.
Great yet don't forget Jimi passed in 1970 over a half century ago at 27. Who knows what he would have achieved had he been around longer. No James is not equal however he is very talented.
Been a Hendrix fan longer than you been alive you sounded really good play on
Thanks! Hope u enjoy my original songs
Neil young said,Hey hey,My my.Amazing!!,Thanks for this music.
no shit, is the best version so far
Very SOLID James, ...Like a tank! :) We greatly enjoy your fantastic work!
This is the best cover of Hendrix , watchtower I have ever heard. Listen to it hundreds of times. Talent James ....talent.
I agree!
did you listen to jeff healeys version czcams.com/video/Ah5Hs770twM/video.html for me its still the best artist who did this song
@@verbatimdk Uli Jon Roth does it justice as well!!
I'm sure that Jimi would be proud and Steve RAY would say "DAMN THAT KID IS GOOD".!!!!!! Me, I know what your future is. Very well done youngster, please keep it up.
Awesome

JBX, Congrats! I've been a Hendrix study since 1969 and can say that your sound fits the Hendrix groove. Improvisation, licks, soul and groove. You feel it and made me feel it and that is the point. I dig your arrangement on one the the all time fusion classics!
wow! that was amazing you are the best james xxxx
I’m a great Hendrix fan, I came across your cover, I can say you have a great appreciation of his music and the feeling he put into it. Brilliant !!!!!!! WOW
Thank you! I hope you enjoy my original Hendrix influenced album if you check it out!
It's in my description btw
As in the video description sorry
There are so many great licks here, and most of them are fairly simple in the notes they use. But the talent is in making something simple sound great. And you do that with every note. I've been playing for years, but this stuff is making me better.
Your sound and the fluidity of your playing are just amazing! Hands down THE best cover with a twist that i have heard. Keep up the amazing work!
Great!!! My favorite song by Jimi!
Note perfect! Wonderful!
haha thank you I'm so glad you like it!
I have a JIMI HENDRIX influenced ORIGINAL ROCK album out that I hope you will like if you check it out!
