I suppose it could be intimidating if one thought about comparing it to the Hendrix cover or something, but it's actually a standard folk progression, pretty easy to play. Though it's very well-played, I don't find this version especially engaging but I guess it was a part of his live performances back then - sort of like the response to when an audience seems to say "Play something we know."
There is always a drunk girl in the audience with one hand holding a bottle of Jack with one hand, standing on a chair, other hand raised in the air, screaming: "play Freebird"!

Yikes. This song would be intimidating to cover... And I don't find this interpretation does it any justice...

What a pointless cover of a great song!
Yeah, it's not an any way an improvement on the improvement. He's a brilliant guitar player, but he can't plug in the feeling at all. Maybe just a decent alternative.
R .I.P., Michael Hedges. Taken way too young. Outstanding musician. Listen to his other songs.
I like other things he's done. This is a swing and a miss, sadly.

fo a short moment I thought this was David Byrne
Chicken or the egg: Is he channeling Dylan or Hendrix? If neither had ever been associated with the tune, and this was an original, it would fly a bit higher. Anyway, it's truncated and a bit dull. Noble attempt, though.
never speak ill of the dead but...

Perhaps this will take a few more hearings. Right now it seems to be more about the fancy instrument that the song itself, IMHO.
A brave attempt.
