All Along The Watchtower Guitar Lesson Pt.1 - Jimi Hendrix - Intro

[@Grogritark]

AATW has got to be one of the most exciting songs to play on the guitar. Absolutely love it.

[@MopsLife]

Grogritark I have to agree

[@guitartuna8307]

Absolutely!

[@DavidDiMuzio]

Yay!! Can't wait to learn this! Loving all the new song lessons you've been uploading! :)

[@TheVickid]

I like the way you move quick and let experienced guitar players like me play a bit by ear instead of taking forever to show each individual note, too many of the KZbin instructional videos take forever and go too slow, yours is excellent!

[@kazoolordhd6591]

but for begginners its a bit annoying when he goes way too fast for me

[@bryandowdall6851]

KazooLordHD well then go to a shitty slow teacher like Marty Schwartz😊

[@thegolfnut812]

@@TheDarkDutchman Indeed I do and I listen to both versions. Thanks I'm sure there are some who didn't know this.

[@13obcat]

don't just tell yourself your going to practice 1-3 hours a day, if you really want to learn this song I promise you will be motivated to nail it, learning shouldn't be looked at like work or a burden because you could be doing something else, and even if your a beginner anything is possible with enough practice! (you have to start somewhere)

[@royston1762]

I've learnt all my Jimi Hendrix (what I've got so far) from you and I'm progressing so much. It's helping me so much, the slides, fingerpicking and chord bends really progress guitar playing for me. Thanks man :)

[@nelsonandres9163]

Leaving my comment here as a landmark to come back to for when I can play the whole song, right now, I can barely play the intro, but i will do this. I will.

A quick tip: If you are using an acoustic and the barre chords on higher frets are becoming an issue, just use the voicings; like we know how to play A major in standard, play the same but this time, index finger spanning over the 2nd fret and so on.

[@okanecormac97]

I think its only 4 bends in the intro solo

[@ryanbruneau1197]

I count only three when I hear the song

[@rdodge2081]

Jimi never played a song the same twice what a legend

[@n_b7467]

@@rdodge2081 That's common.

[@alphaconn1894]

Ryan Bruneau it’s 4 bends and last bend is vibrato on top of it

[@sonnybarker4815]

you're right.. there is four.. this dude needs to copy right

[@Cyclist0623]

Yes, Dylan wrote it. But he specifically gave it to Jimi to play as he saw fit, because he just knew what a fantastic job Jimi would do with this piece. And Dylan sure got that exactly right.

[@ivchomalkiqa]

I believe the first set of 5 bends on the 14th fret, second string should be a set of 4 bends (and maybe a pause?) instead. Listen to the original song and let me know what you think. I apologise if my terminology is false as I am a total noobie. Great tutorial btw. It's very useful that you played the whole thing slowly in the end.

[@cactusjack67]

If you guys are having trouble with the bar chords you can play the same chords as power chords to get the rhythem down, it definitley dosent sound EXACTLY like the song but it still sound pretty close

[@JuanFelipeMedina]

0:14 omg you are the mvp

[@restman22]

I've learned this song in a week, still working on the tempo but i learned the song, you can't really have people tell you how long its gonna take man, just put the effort in it and i promise you will get an award back :)

It's the 9th fret hes picking in 4.58, not the 7th

Thank you for teaching in standard tuning!

[@thomaslarison336]

Thanks a lot for posting these man. Much appreciated.

[@waydebaker7743]

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for the lessons. It's good to see how far you've come. (I can tell this is an early video) You should be extremely proud. Keep it up. Do more SRV.

[@brodydentinger5863]

what is happening at 4:55? he says he goes to 7 and obviously doesnt, cant really see what hes doing?

[@jbright1980]

I think he just means 9th fret not 7th fret. Try that on the g string. Bends on the 11th fret g string release to 9th fret.

[@johnnymoondog]

yeh, too many errors in this vid _ its a shame !

[@niamhjoy3476]

I only have an acoustic steel string guitar and am trying to learn this song and its quite hard with the hammer ons

[@billschieber8953]

you, by far are one of my favorite guitar teachers on youtube, thanks for the lesson you really helped me out, i like how you take your time in showing us this, good job man

[@Theprestonjames]

Thank you! I’ve only been playing for 3 months and can’t believe I learned this😂

[@Nest-House]

you can just to the first 3 fingers to make the chords first finger on the 6th note in the same position but not barred and the 3rd and 4th fingers in the same place... if that made any sense

[@hurkamer]

I think that should always be covered in a lesson especially if you are going to go into enough depth that the guitar is tuned down a step, you should touch on what pedals or amp adjustments could be used to get close to the sound of the song. No it does not have to be exact but something would be nice. Great lesson though, you are one of the best on KZbin as far as I am concerned.

[@calebdavis1323]

***** English please started playing a few months ago and I'm kind of new when it comes to electrics in general let alone amps. Thanks

[@hurkamer]

***** Thank you I appreciate your comments and the time you took to write them. VERY COOL OF YOU!

[@megachodemonkey]

what effects do you use for this song? Very interested.

[@jaifarbenothman4136]

Greg Pegel from the sound of it, I think he's just got his amp on overdrive

[@EdmundPK3]

Jaifar Ben Othman I definitely think he's got a flanger on too.

[@JJack114]

+Greg Pegel He has treble up about half, gain on and up a little, and bass up, just tweak this and you'll get what he has

[@tytyty901]

You think you can learn it about like 2 weeks if you practice maybe 1-3 hours a day? Because im going to play for some teachers at a Highs School of Music, I'm Swedish, and I really need to learn this song so I can get in, because if this song doesn't impress the teachers, nothing does! So do you think I can learn it? I've played guitar before, but then I quited and now I started again, I'm like a beginner, I know shredding and tapping very well, but do you think a "beginner" can learn it?

[@Bingus805]

only 4 bends

[@nilejones2426]

THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING THE WHOLE VIDEO, ONLY FOUR BENDS, FINALLY SOMEONE REALIZED IT!!!

[@napalmhardcore]

***** It is definitely not five. I agree with adding some personalisation to your music, but not in the context of a guitar lesson when teaching a specific song.

[@stiglistanbul]

That irked me allthroughout the video. Thought I was going insane hahah!

[@stolenname94]

Tbf Jimmy himself didn't have alot of consistency he played things different almost every time it's why he is hard to tab.

[@kentuckyfriedchildren5385]

@@stolenname94 ''Jimmy'' smh

[@Thebandrocketscience]

If you just move your freting hand down to c first cord b flat you can play the whole song you doun,t have to tune down ,and it will be in jimi,s key a fret down gives youthe half step

[@ausrace]

Yes that's much more sensible than tuning down all your strings!

[@lucasvarela9632]

Its will still not sound like the original anything i play in standard tuning thats supposed to be in alernate sounds different. Right notes but it wont sound right

[@nathanmiller2982]

4 or 5 bends it’s cool either way just make it your own. Play it both ways if you choose to.

[@michael52250]

Actually it is 5, if you count the "pre bend" note... think that's what got him a bit confused during the lesson (the guy's a great player and I'm sure it would be spot on in performances)

[@charlesstaal7556]

at 5:02 your calling the 9th fret 7th and 11th fret 9th

Could you explain how you get your sound too?!

[@Scottcmilk]

Dude no-one knows if you're capable of learning this song because we don't know what you're like but you don't need us to tell you that you can play this song! If you really want to get into that music class then you will learn this song if you're a begginner or not. What I'm trying to say here is that it's up to you whether you can play this song and if you put in the time and effort you'll soon realize that you don't need people to tell you that you can play this song and that song! :D GL

[@andreaklass2857]

Damn I wish I could play guitar like Hendrix damn it seems hard lol but that's his talent !

[@alexandregtg]

Talent doesn't exist. Only practice and hard work

[@InevitableTruth247]

Alexandre Coulombe that's debatable, but indeed, talent is like what skill your best in when your born, what your comfortable, but if you have no guitar talent, and singing talent, you can practice guitar till it seems like you got talent.

[@hectorgonzalez9170]

Inevitable Truth practice makes perfect. I know I taught myself how to play and how to read music. Now I can play anything I can read and classical music has a mountain of music for anyone who can read music. And practice of course.... Lol.

[@caracasboogie]

He invented the hard rock style

[@Kimuraking]

AndréA Klass The truth is practice makes perfect. Hendrix took his guitar everywhere with him, And always had it in hand. It's the same reason why bruce Lee was so good at martial arts. Bruce Lee would practice/train non stop. Even while watching t.v he would shadow box, Or do push ups. I feel like it's insulting to say they are just talented. Because majority of people who knew or lived with Hendrix (like ronnie wood) Say he practically slept with his guitar. So in other words.... Practice, Practice, Practice.

I've tried every method of trying to do barre chords my fingers just can't get the barre down I put a lot of pressure on my barre and it still doesn't work any suggestions on what to use instead of a barre chord help

[@youduarf]

just practice heaps you will get it. You can try not playing the top strings so you still sound good while developing strength.

[@jeffseifert4820]

have you tried playing it with the thumb on the low E string and the rest of your fingers playing the chord like its a first position f chord? its the same sound except you leave off the A string unless you have enormous thumbs like hendrix did

[@xRosey95]

Keep practicing bud you will get it , just takes time done ever give up !

[@jwsman15]

You've probably learnt how to barre by now, but try rolling whatever finger you're using to barre a little, and make sure the finger is close to the fret line. Also, make your hand kind of like a clip, with your thumb flat on the back of the neck.

[@markjhermanson]

something I havent seen suggested, and something most people forget........the guitar factor. some lower to mid guitars can be a real bitch to do barre chords, even for an intermediate. Has your guitar been properly set up ? is the action the best it can be ? If you have already tried and practiced, it may be the actual instrument holding you back, granted I dont know your level, but something to look at
