Has anyone successfully covered a Hendrix track?
I seriously doubt it.

Body Count did a version of "Hey Joe"
They succeeded in making it sound like they thought Joe's bitch had it coming.

Not a Hendrix original.
And the best version of that song is by The Leaves.
Monty will back me up on this.

You learn something new every day
Today, what I've learned was not very interesting.

Stevie Ray Vaughan had a reasonable stab at Little Wing

S'alright, I guess.

Closest to 'not being a fucking appalling nightmare and insult to Jimi' that I can think of.

It leans more towards the 'loving tribute' end of the scale rather than the 'make it your own'
Which I guess is the difficult thing about covering Hendrix.
If you are playing it on a guitar you are going to struggle to do it better than he could have.
