Jimi Hendrix "Voodoo Chile" on Whammy Clavinet

I've never seen one of these but this guy obviously has spent a few minutes learning how to handle it.

isnt it Voodoo Child? you hooked me with Hendrix in the post. Have no idea what that instrument is. Sometimes I just ask 'Why?'

Jimi called his song "Voodoo Chile" on the album.

White guys covering it tend to call it "Voodoo Child" probably because they are mostly clueless who Muddy Waters is...... and how he pronounced "child" which is where Jimi supposedly got the title.

Best version of the song I saw live was Ben Harper doing it on that lap steel thing he uses.

If you like clavinet - Terry Adams of NRBQ is the master (though he doesn't use the whammy version)

while I'm at it - here's Terry Adams (NRBQ) on the regular keys.
