    I came across this a few days ago and it’s very cool. This guy really captures SRV’s style.

    The NiNi version popped up on my playlist this morning. Here are three covers of The Trooper. I like all of them but I think the 2 Cellos version is the best.

    my nephew turned me on to these guys. I'm familiar with the original, but if you think you'd dig marching band covers of techno mixes, you'll dig Meute:
