The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix | Guitar Lesson

[@whitemellon]

I watched quite a few KZbin's of people teaching this song but this is by far the most accurate rendition. Thanks.

[@MegaTubescreamer]

Its over 55 years since this single was released, just before my 14th birthday, i never tire of istening to it, every little nuance still is an absolute joy for me, and likewise your tuition has been a treat to watch and learn from after several reference views, !thankyou for shoveling a glimpse into the ditch of what jimi has inspired in you and all of us who hear it and can but wonder 👍😎

[@magfirefox5181]

This lesson is quite good. I self-taught myself this song many years ago, and it's nice to see it all brought together for us so very well, and with instructions. This video helps me to solidify my own understanding of the song. It's all done so very well in this video. Much appreciated! A++ !!

[@tedjordan9038]

This song shows Jimi’s abosolute genius as a rhythm guitarist.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Really he takes 4 chords in to the stratosphere.

[@ЮрийКонстантинов-ь9д]

Какой ритм у Хендрикса, спонтанная какофония нот, он сочинял музыку свою в наркотическом угаре

[@richardwaite344]

Jimi was so versatile!! You make it look so easy… I have been playing “ self- taught” for about 5 years now and YOU have helped me to find my rhythm again !! I have a LesPaul 60’s vintage and have made it work !! Having a lot of fun !!

[@12footchain]

Glad to hear!

[@youngmangrand9331]

You are the only guy on the internet that actually Plays Hendrix correctly Thank You

[@James-hr4fu]

Your accuracy is what sets you apart from others and makes me want to go to you to learn a song! Iam 66yrs and been a drummer for 55yrs! I've always fxcked around w guitar but only now am getting serious. Your good a ND refreshing. I used to run clubs and known many players.I won't drop names , but thank you.

[@12footchain]

Thanks so much! I'm the opposite , lifelong guitar player who would love to drum! Welcome

[@sosmooth7]

I've seen many other guitarists cover this very same song, but none like YOU! Your approach is just what other guitarist need to pay attention too. You approached the song like YOU really wanted to teach it and you wanted everyone to understand what you were showing, Most people do song demoes from that standpoint that the audience already knows how to play to the level that it would take to play a song. But. in your case, you completely deciphered the song. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR DOING SO. It's very encouraging to see a musician take so much pride and time in what he's teaching. Your demo was amazing. It left me with something to really practice. Please continue to do so.

[@12footchain]

Thanks!

[@spanmarkiola7260]

I wish we could hear/watch the whole song finished. the rhythm is important too. Best one of a dozen I listened too. Thanx.

[@MrLewbell]

I have seen this played different ways over the years. You give a very detailed narration on the tone and equipment in addition to actually explaining the musical theory behind the licks. I love the “nuances” you provide behind theory which most players don’t want to give up to others. Great job on the skills and tone. This song I believe is one of Hendrix’s best that shows the true ability and depth of his background and influences to his sound.

[@iwerning]

You are a skillful teacher and I like that you don’t hype it or exaggerate how sure we are 100% about how it is done or what tone etc

[@tedjordan9038]

Where has this lesson been all my life? I’m lovin’ it!

[@larryk3408]

Great lesson, really easy to follow and well paced. Perfect lead tone for one of the great Jimi songs.

[@paulahiggins4725]

Excellent lesson! Been trying to get this song right for years. Your lesson is a perfect demonstration and provides a great target to shoot for. This is one of my favorite Jimi Hendrix songs, so will keep trying. Thank you!

[@12footchain]

Thank you!

[@hjmmjh4566]

Great teaching method to include the underlying chords in the lead instruction. Excellent job. 👍

[@tommcnally3646]

Beautiful, his way of mixing leads and chords was so unique, so great, great lesson

[@francovani393]

Jimi's genius lays in that he is a songwriter as well as a guitarist and always chose the appropriate approach on guitar to match the mood of the composition. He sparse soulful approach reflects the haunting and rueful subject of desolation loneliness and regret

[@michaelpiesse6368]

Good morning ,or day/night to all. Love this song and have played it my way for many years. Today I get to learn it properly from a man with a better ear than mine and a really easy relaxed teaching style. I was hooked the moment I saw the first Stones song and I now have three guitars with different tuning ie normal,another with G tuning and the other with E tuning and I have to say my world has opened up tremendously as far playing goes. It’s given me a whole new pallet to work with and my song writing is expanding by the day. All I can say is I wish I had KZbin in the seventies when I began playing. So, thank you for your vids, your guitar collection,amps etc. All the best from Perth,Western Australia. Cheers

[@12footchain]

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you are continuing on with your playing. Rock on!

[@raymondfryar1533]

You have a gift for making this stuff that I thought was impossible seem doable. Thank you for the glimmer of hope.

[@tims2cool]

Awesome. You captured nuances i didn't know were there.

[@1Keef]

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. Brilliant playing and lesson. Thanks for posting! 👍👍

[@michaelgaskell7408]

How you can call The Wind Cries Mary a 'rock' song is beyond me.To me calling Hendrix a 'rock guitarist is an insult.I dont think Hendrix knew what 'rock' music was-Thank Christ.

[@1Keef]

@@michaelgaskell7408 I beg to differ. Ever hear of psychedelic rock? He played many rock songs including Johnny b Goode

[@michaelgaskell7408]

@@1Keef Hello Mr Keef, Yes, I've heard of psychedelic rock,a label given to music of the late sixties,used by record companies and PR men, to seduce the young people of the day into thinking they were "different"and "hip",in order to make a lot of money.I can recall reading two interviews with Hendrix,where he stated in both,that he didn't know what psychedelic meant.He often stated that all he played was "loud blues",and that's all Hendrix was-a blues player,along with a jazz and country and western slant.I personally cannot stand "psychedelic rock,and even worse heavy metal,which is why l listen to Hendrix,and have been doing so for the last fifty two years.Regarding Johnny B Goode,this was used as an opener that's all,and rarely played.He listened to blues players,jazz and rythmn and blues musicians,and you can hear all this in his playing.As far as I'm concerned,NEVER a rock guitarist,and Thank Christ for that.

[@morriypoulsen1238]

@@michaelgaskell7408 Yeah and you know everything about music, it's classed as rock wether you like it or not,

[@nealhartsell3880]

Just an excellent tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@santosmadrigal3702]

I believe he used a capo . Because for some reason I play it in E , and I get some serious Hendixisoms .

[@greggvee4]

I subscribed. This is the best note for note lesson of this Hendrix classic on the internet. Highly appreciate your effort. I have been struggling with this for years. Now I will give it another shot.

[@timolonnberg3205]

The best teacher in the web (and why not live as well)..

[@jackdelaney6633]

Really can't thank you enough for these lessons, for me your style of teaching is spot on. And as accurate as you can get to the records, thanks.

[@johannesofner2954]

Thank you Sir - you are perfectly talking a language I can understand and follow along! Much appreciated👏 salute from Austria

[@12footchain]

You are very welcome

[@philipbruner1837]

Great tutorial on Henry/Maggie May. I've been wanting to learn that for years but thought it was beyond my abilities. Now I can play it, as well as all your other song tutorials. Love the way you go about teaching. Also you've some awesome gear especially the collection of vintage Fender amps. Keep them coming my friend. Your knowledge is empecable!!!

[@briankierans2926]

Fantastic. Brilliant lesson. So very well explained. Really easy to understand where all the licks and embellshments are coming from. Love it ❤

[@12footchain]

Glad it was helpful!

[@simongantar]

I must thank you for this elaborate and accurate lesson. It is very well explained and easy to understand.

[@12footchain]

You're very welcome!

[@Nobody_Important_Yea]

Wow! Thank you. One of the best-paced lessons on KZbin 😊

[@jeramyashlock]

Great lesson and explanation of the chords the song is built around, which act as landmarks to help remember how the parts go!

[@andrewelstein4852]

Best guitar lesson version of this song I have heard. Well done and thank you.

[@12footchain]

Thank you!

[@hpelisr]

Awesome guitar work, I think you nailed it . Great sounds, and the little things Jimi did in this song. Makes this a classic. I will be watching more. Thanks

[@JohnnyBgood548]

This is the best lesson I've had on this incredible song! Thank you so much!

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

I'm betting that the so-called "Hendrix family" de-monetized this lesson on the day it was posted. The man died over fifty years ago, and had no children. All of his music should have been placed in the public domain a long time ago.

[@douglaschristine8387]

Excellent rendition of classic Jimi, love it. I had just learned it a little different but yours is better because the chords C,B ,F are closer and not as much string dragging noise. I had watched a couple other videos of yours and was impressed, thanks 🙏 🕊️

[@christianoliver434]

Black on black strat is so sick. Great instructions, just learned hey Joe from this channel and now on to this one. Always been scared to learn hendrix but just going for it now and you make it much more manageable

[@davidlepahe]

I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart... I could have played this years ago if I could have found someone that actually broke it down and explained what chords you re playing and fingers you re using.... I have seen awesome players try the same thing, and they play well and it sounds great but I have no idea what finger is doing what... I get the style but you explained what was actually happening. And the explanation of the Jimi chord will help me with so many others like Little Wing etc. You helped me get slightly closer to the best ever. Grin ear to ear. Thank you, means the world to me. P.S. For requests, not sure if you've done it as I've just subscribed but would love somw help on "Life Without You" by the great SRV. I wish I was born earlier so I could have seen all these legends... World misses em for sure. That being said check out the young Aussie, Taj Farrant... future is bright with him around.

[@warwicksmiley3731]

Mr Hendrix had a great understanding of the guitar, Some such as this are so melodic, One cant help to want to play these songs.I guess when you live and sleep with the guitar it does become attached to the body.Nice playing by you, Thanks..

[@geordiejohn3703]

Brilliant thanks, you’ve given me loads to work on. Super clear instructions and it’s great you keep refreshing what you’re teaching for oldies like me 👴 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge 👍🏻

[@galelongputt]

Thanks for helping me clean up the way I have been playing this song 😊🎸

[@garynarducci8366]

This is the first time I hav seen this played correctly. Good job.

[@DennisAlvarezMusic]

I subscribed even though I'm a very experienced guitarist. I plan to share your channel with anyone who wants to learn how to play stuff correctly. And if I want to learn any song (like this one):more quickly. Great work!

[@12footchain]

Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@philipclouting2954]

Just got to this. Great lesson - thanks very much.

[@TheBman13298]

Just great! Tone, playing, lesson style... I was around 8 when this song came out, loved it immediately. My friend got to see him backing the Monkees in Miami shortly after. Anyway, there is a fairly recent Eddie Kramer video breaking down this song... he shows that there are several guitars playing simultaneously, one just lightly brushing the strings...keep up the great work!

[@sigsfast]

I only just found this channel and I love it! I hope you keep going, Thank you!

[@12footchain]

Welcome!

[@deaf19830]

That’s when I was born, 1967. If it wasn’t for me being born in that era, and bringing my energy into this realm we live, none of this music would have existed, I am a Legend in my own mind 😂😂😂

[@Bill-se4gr]

Nicely done and very cool! Lots to absorb and work on. Thank you for sharing with us wannabes!

[@jamespaulplant4879]

always loved that song.

[@paulhammond21]

Thanks dude your tutorials are just the best, really apriciate what you do

[@12footchain]

wow - thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying

[@-Atmos1]

Great sounding Strat + great lesson , Thanks .

[@philby49]

If ever there was a good example of what makes a great guitarist just that, you nailed the mechanics of the song and all respect to you, but Jimi had his own special touch that is not something anyone can copy, you will always get close but he like other giants of the fretboard are playing their personality directly in to our ears, that said its still a good vid and accurate, way to go man.

[@simdawg7230]

Legend ! You and Jimi .Cheers👍

[@paulcaruthers9647]

Thanks for another great lesson, Love your use of amplifiers to achieve Jimi's sound, well done!

Excellent work! I self taught myself this song but I missed quite a few of the subtleties. This lesson fill in all the gaps. 👍

[@leesabatino4065]

Great lesson. Very accurate to the recording. Has all the solo parts and the outro solo/fills. Many lessons on this song do not include those! Keep up the great work Mr 12ft🤘
