I didn't realize Hendrix played Rhythm Guitar on Don Covay And The Goodtimers - Mercy, Mercy 1964

Indeed. Lead guitar, I'd say.

Yes. The lead-intro is very 'Hendrix'

Yes Dandy - it's a combo rhythm lead mix? One comment, please. The lead singer of the Goodtimers sounds a little similar (of course not he same) to Jagger.

Mick sounds remarkably similar to Don Covay, imo. Indeed!

Wow I guess Jr. Walker & All-Stars didn't write "Shotgun"? That was their signature song. BTW I saw them in concert on a street corner in Greenville, NC with around 300-500 in attendance circa 1978-1980

If you look very carefully at the Jimi clip posted by thomashanck, you will se at about 1.02 in Jimi taking his right hand off the guitar neck and running his wrist up and down the strings which later was one of his trade mark moves.

So he was doing this in 1964 way before he found fame.

Thanks for posting the clip thomashanck

to the ones in the background, lovely to see this ...

Note the video was after Jr Walker had the hit with the song...these guys were covering it.
