How to play All Along the Watchtower Jimi Hendrix - Verse Fills

[@orb5951]

Thank you so much, I was looking everywhere for this. Everyone teaches the solos, no one teaches the verse fills. I know they're supposed to be improvised, but I want to borrow from Hendrix as well.

[@15MinuteGuitar]

You're welcome. Yes, I noticed everyone was teaching the solos but the fills are awesome too.

[@h2er80]

Awesome it was meant to be Phil teaching the fills! Really enjoying your lessons! Keep up the good work and keeping Jimi alive!

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Thanks dude, I try!

[@StudioChimps]

Phil watching phil playing fills so phil can learn fills from phil - happy days 👍

[@regandunn4850]

Thanks man best one yet ive seen thought online learned heaps

[@-JD56]

Awsome lesson, i learnt these fills in no time, because of the way you explained it no fuss straight forward, no beating around the bush, thanks mate, your a legend.

[@15MinuteGuitar]

maglukardlukard My pleasure, glad it helped.

[@macarelli2097]

Very proper you nailed it ,much love from Central California most teachers rush you are more note by note slower... it’s tricky slow for you but you are teaching for thee most perfectly ...

[@noahlee6292]

awesome video! exactly what i've been searching for

[@MMAoracle]

Noah Lee Don't know how to play your own songs?

[@ExMinionOfDarkness]

Carl Brown teaches some fills, but in the E shape bar chord version. Thank you for the lesson, it was very easy to follow.

[@15MinuteGuitar]

+Milos Rakovic Yeah, Carl teaches some good stuff but I think his is more of a jammed approach to the fills.

[@rolandjgutierrez7737]

what you said abaugt letting the song sound origanal to the song then ftet do your own thing that is some great advice I appreciate that..Thank you...

[@robquinn3584]

Great job. I have been looking for this. It is the icing on the cake. Thank you.

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Rob Quinn You're welcome!

[@samppaaki]

Thats pretty close regarding the verse fills. I managed to find out these by my own after listening watchtower. But really nice that you have tutorial here. Very good!! I hope people will find your channel for this great tutorial

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Hey Man, hats off to you for using your ears and working them out for yourself.

[@craigs.247]

Wow, great lesson! I've been looking for help with the fills on this song. It is one of my favorite songs.

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Thanks, yeah these fills are the most overlooked part of the song!

[@markbooth.13]

THAT'S THE PART I'VE BEEN MISSING!!!!!THANKS

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Mark, Booth. No worries. Good luck with the rest!

[@ronjon4891]

Just found your channel. Some nice stuff. So I subscribed. PS. Saw Jimi in Detroit. I'm sure he'd be stoked we're still rocking his tunes.

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Wow! Thanks Ron Jon, that must have been amazing to see him with your own eyes! What do you remember most about the show?

[@Megathumos1]

You are the very best!

[@stevemorse108]

You got the second fill wrong buddy...it is an e minor flatted fifth augemented 11th sus 4th...just kidding thanks for the lesson :)

[@15MinuteGuitar]

You had me going for about 500ms there, Steve!

[@stevemorse108]

;)

[@dannygjk]

lol

[@stevemorse108]

Good stuff man those fills song so cool.

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

but a flattened fifth is enharmonically the same as an augmented 11th :D lol

[@luisagonzalez601]

Wowww I just want to get out of quarantine playing like that, I know it’s not gonna be easy, but I promise I'll try and try. I feel great for knowing how to play a few songs that I learned in only 2 months, I mean I'm a complete beginner hehe. Also as I wasn’t able to have a great final school year, I can say guitar saved my life, maybe I wouldn’t be here to say it because I had the most hard times before starting playing it, I heard Colombia's quarantine have been the largest one and I feel so unmotivated, but I know I'll get out of here at any time, and also with a guitar in my hand! If I remember this video, I'll tell you how it’s it going in like 4 o 5 months😉

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Luisa González hey man keep in touch and let me know how you get on

[@luisagonzalez601]

15 Minute Guitar I’m a girl hehe but thankss🥰

[@RobM1606]

Jimi was not jamming those fills - they were carefully worked out, the timing is immaculate, every fill adds something different. You get a fair amount of it it right, thank you, but it’s not all there. Check out the top cover of this song on You Tube, that guy nails the fills.

[@Daniel_Callie]

Stepping on the beat mate .. Hendrix felt just how to nurse the beat to get the sweet spot

[@bbreeg26]

saw your post on reddit, really great lesson thanks!!!

[@15MinuteGuitar]

+Faisal Al-Marzouqi You're welcome, I'm thinking about doing a Part 2 with the other 21 fills

Thank you kind sir

[@oso8658]

Great lesson

[@mikkess]

Hey man! Thanks so much for all these videos, your ''easy'' and colloquial way of teaching coupled with your insight as a jimi tribute band player are precious! I know how this will sound but, will you ever come around to deciphering ''Hey baby'' from Jimis Maui 70 concert? I really fell in love with that performance of his, and im still to find someone who has taught it or even someone with tabs for it!

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Hey Miguel, thank you for your kind words. I really appreicate your feedback. Its always my goal to keep it simple, without jargon and without too much theory to get in the way of the notes, so anyone can play them. Do you have a link to the specific performance that I might take a look at?

[@mikkess]

Hey! Sorry man i meant Villanova Junction, not Hey Baby, also from Maui. 4musics.info/Jimi%20Hendrix%20-%20Villanova%20Junction%20(2nd%20Set,%20Maui,%2030-07-1970)/ Sorry for the weird link, this song was on youtube a few months ago, but it was removed due to all the copyright infringement stuff. Play the second ''song'' on the link i sent you, the one that isnt a crowd recording, its got pretty decent quality! Enjoy!

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Ah Villa Nova Junction, yes, I'm more familiar with the version he played at Woodstock - this one is quite the crazy jam - which makes it virtually impossible to tab. Unless I wrote the words "make up your own stuff here" but then that would be across most of the tab! :) There's no tab but Greg does a FRICKIN AWESOME version of the Woodstock take, check it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpDbaIuiZd6JZqc

[@mikkess]

+15 Minute Guitar Its quite the crazy jam alright, i love that univibe drowned out sound! Its a very different villanova junction, feeling-wise, than the woodstock version. Oh i didnt know greg had covered it! He is goddamn good playing hendrix, if you close your eyes you'd confuse with the record! I already know part of the woodstock version, i think im going to polish it and then take on the Maui version, as crazy as it may be. If by any chance i get something playable i'll get back to you!

[@mikkess]

+15 Minute Guitar And thanks for taking your time to answer dude, thats really cool of you!

[@15MinuteGuitar]

74dart man thanks man, I gotta keep working on it!

[@74dartman13]

15 Minute Guitar I go through the same thing sometimes trying to show people. Ya gotta think, man I gotta slow down and show every little thing! It's hard...you're doing good though! Keep up the good work!☺

[@alexandranicole249]

The fills/riffs vid is VERY good but--Can i please get a tutorial on this ENTIRE song all along the watchtower by jimi hendrix--seen many other channels giving tutorials on this song --& yours rocks!

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Alexandra Nicole Thanks! There are many great tutorials on this song here on KZbin it wouldn't be good use of time to duplicate. If you grab the tab for these fills I'll email the 6 I recommend

Once again man great lesson. Will we see Long Hot Summer Night in the future?

[@15MinuteGuitar]

+Bruce Wayne Yes, bro. I promised you I would. Its just I had so many more requests for Bold As Love that I did that one first - I literally finished that about 10 hours ago. You can check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHy4nWymarqppsU Your request is next :)

[@NERDOFUNK]

Great lesson! I just wish you would played at in Jimi's position, he did not play it down there but in the upper positon - strating at 9th Fret!!! You can hear it and see it live also, i got the recording/learning session all takes to All Along the Watchtower from Jimi so its pritty accurate...PEACE

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Yes, I'm aware that Jimi plays it higher up but regardless of position, the notes are the same.

[@hosamghaith9259]

@@15MinuteGuitar wouldn’t the higher position be easier to play? (honest question). Thanks for the great lessons and playing.

[@rafaelbarerez7066]

hey guy you awesome can you make some lesson about amp and fx settings to reach that amazing tone, thx , im lucky to find u

[@simonwernersson1043]

Which chords where you playing in the verse?

[@15MinuteGuitar]

Simon Wernersson if tuned down to Eb the chords are C#m, B, A if in standard tuning, drop this all by a semitone, so Cm, Bb, Ab

[@coolz2334]

After this video i now have the whole song done except for the verse rhythm...... Im confused as i play on E standard . And not sure what notes you pluckin down. Ps. I dnt know chord names :(

[@15MinuteGuitar]

coolz2334 Then you gotta learn them bro, you wont get very far without knowing chord names. On a standard E tuning guitar, chords would be Cmin, Bb and Ab

You didnt show how to play the very first fills, after the intro, the ones with the barre chords and Hammer ons

huh?, that's exactly what I did. Srating at 3:41

[@mynamefrank6567]

@@15MinuteGuitar I mean yeah you showed them but didn't explain them, at 2:00 they're kinda different, it's kinda hard to figure out what your fingers are doing, maybe with a bit of zoom it would be easier

did you restring a left handed for right handed playing?

[@rolandjgutierrez7737]

another comment Imo you are 1 step down other instructor are keeping all us wonabes on standard tunning your hard to understand but the way you teach opens up the frit board to really get the song Jimmy style I guess 15 minit is fast I think with a couple of days I'll get it but I do like the way it sounds real autentic...

All Along The Watchtower was a Bob Dylan song...

Correct. This is Jimi’s version, which is drastically different and many argue (even Dylan himself) better than Dylan’s original work,
