You Got Me Floatin - Jimi Hendrix | Guitar Lesson

[@Weshopwizard]

Dude! You’re pulling out the more obscure stuff from the Hendrix catalog and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[@-Atmos1]

Axis Bold As Love is a classic . Thanks for explaining this song .

[@johndodson4527]

Cool you dig this old stuff.my generation.my favorite album as well.keep it alive .

[@brianseneca3546]

I saw a short clip about how you explained the things needed to be done to make a Hendrix strat. I laughed out loud as I encountered ALL of these things when I got a LH Mexi Strat in 1999. I flipped everything, changed the pickups, changed the strap button. New Years Eve 2000. We are gigging at a fairly big club. The lights are off, we hit it BOOM everything lights up! My other guitar player comes over and yells in my ear, "your in the wrong key!" I have played since I was 6 and at that time I was 30. I never realized how much I actually use the side markers!! I was playing sharp! Also, dont try playing above the 19th fret or so! very hard to access. I drilled little holes in the side and filled them with white out. Problem solved. Love your tutorials by the way

[@12footchain]

Haha great story. Question, why did you change the pickups? Just better pickups or were you flipping them around ?

[@brianseneca3546]

@@12footchain better pickups. I worked at a mom and pop generational music store. At the time Mexican Fenders had ceramic pickups and they very shrill. At my discount I bought custom shop singles for the bridge and middle and a Duncan little 59 in the bridge. I know thats kind of sacrilege for Strat guys, but its a stage guitar and I wanted it to be more versatile to play more than a song or two in a row. At the end of the day I had my tech wind the tone open and take out all but one volume know because it dug into my arm when I was playing. Also, I was always turning the knobs the wrong way on the fly. Still looks fantastic though

[@joeurbanowski321]

My baritone with a pick..!!!?? Why didn’t I think of that..? Don’t answer that.. lol Thanks man.. Great stuff as always..!

[@Savior.Mountgreen]

Your videos are exceptional. Thank you for creating them.🙇🏻‍♂️

[@12footchain]

I appreciate that!

[@avantegarde365]

Very good intro jam, should have gone on for longer. The thing about Hendrix is that you had to be there, at that time there was nothing else like that on the radio. Particularly Axis was not reviewed well because it was misunderstood. Not the commercial success but everybody learned from him and then started embelishing his style, with bends (bendrix) tapping and more overdriven. Yah right that boss pedal sounds fun.

[@stratman9449]

you're right....all they played on the radio here was "hey Joe"...the rest was ignored....but we knew there was more....even without the www.

[@rufusevans7844]

Love this riff

[@DHgtr1]

Hi 12..As in my past i owned a 63-65 strat ..i never knew exactly...you are correct about that switch..not only was it hard to get to stop...impossible to get it exact twice in same spot..one other thing my strat had a thin metal pickguard under the plastic and also a spring in the tremblock..btw the pups were not rv wound..Great versions of lesser known JIMI songs...Thanks...Dave

[@chrissguitarshow206]

Great video as usual

[@pizzipaul1]

Awesome...thank you!

[@stratman9449]

haha...psychadelic days are here again.....quite the time flashback there.....cheers....nice one....

[@fredsanford7619]

You're making me want to play my stratoblaster

[@12footchain]

Good! do it!

[@brucifer0]

I owned an 8 string bass in the early 2000s Schecter studio 8. 8 string basses sound mean af

[@T_magic402]

Thanks!

[@12footchain]

Thank you!

[@chrissguitarshow206]

I would love to see you do killing floor and like a rolling stone live at Monterey. Nobody ever tries to transcribe his Monterey performances as they were some of his best.

[@12footchain]

Great idea

[@aminahmed2220]

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day doug also today is my oldest sister birthday ❤😊

[@12footchain]

Happy Birthday from me!

[@mikeguttierez4005]

you guys r like a band of Hendrix'

[@jameswingard4503]

Another great one ! Would you please teach a rockin one by the Doobie Brothers "Without You" ? thanks

[@Jonesy1978]

Please do Achilles 🙏🏼

[@sampopkin]

Wow had no idea he used an 8 string bass on this

[@markr.devereux3385]

Now your talking!!! Never seen this gem properly covered . Has all the key ingredients of jimi s brand.

[@BoomerLicks]

Jimi worked out those reverse leads.

[@amitshaul8977]

Can you teach have a cigar?

[@lamper2]

Key is F# if you believe Google

[@12footchain]

interesting. how so?

[@Jonesy1978]

It's pretty obvious that it's in A as the main riff is taken right from the A minor pentatonic scale, and every chord has the open A string ringing throughout

[@jonathanroselaw]

To me Hendrix is an overrated guitar player. Playing is pedestrian and sloppy. Sloppy is fine and I get it but not much there. Maybe more of a sign of the times with him but I don’t see the wow in his playing.

[@lamper2]

I agree, if by "sloppy" you mean soulfull and great.

[@thedashgreen65000]

Technique is irrelevant to how good a guitar player one is. I’d much rather listen to someone creative and “sloppy” than someone with precise technique.

[@thedashgreen65000]

Wait a minute. You’re a literal blues lawyer lol.

[@tonya4157]

Yeh, Jimmy Page was awful too...

[@markr.devereux3385]

I think tbis guy is genX and considers DREAM THEATER a cool band. Oh sure a technical group of .musicians that went to GIT or whatever. HENDXRIX ushered in the AQUARIAN AGE of guitar playing and his acid blues rock was unique full of different influences. Not to mention his unworldly creativity and lyrics. Nobody so far holds a candle to that . Now go back to your so called technical nerds and leave the building.
