Thanks for tuning in!

[@ericsantiago2746]

Brett is such a humble man.

[@andremaion]

This is the best intro I have ever seen on KZbin

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you liked it!

[@davidBarrel]

In a Hendrix book I have, there are some old pictures (black& white) of his hand fretting, making bar chords with his thumb, he bars to the 4th string with no problem, alien hands.

[@ItsJustRyan89]

Watch old footage of him, like shovels

[@guillaumebujon540]

There are a lot of really good Hendrix lessons, but this one is really special. Thanks a lot to you and RJ!

[@BrettPapa]

Learning to play these amazing Hendrix style of playing on my thinline telecaster . Thanks for sharing the Spirit of Jimi .

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@5150show]

Incredible

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you liked it!

[@canterburyaudio5836]

I think Hendrix’s pocket and groove was decades ahead of the 60’s… I hear him and and you hear grooves and rhythms that would then be heard with bands like the chili peppers and rage against the machine. And the colors he creates with tone, solos, and vibe. Every time I circle back to him is such an exciting adventure

[@BrettPapa]

For sure

[@kgsvvgla2i]

I can't quite explain it theoretically but one of the reasons I love chord progressions like Hey Joe and Little Wing is that they allow a very wide range of note choices as long as you stay "around" Em pentatonic. You can easily come up with all kinds of crazy licks and it still sounds okay and sometimes even great.

[@MattH1874]

Ooooh this is the video I knew I needed. But didn't exist until Papa and RJ brought it to us. Magical stuff, gentlemen. Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out! More coming soon!

[@yragnellaable]

I love RJ's commitment; playing a LEFT handed guitar right handed.

[@BrettPapa]

For sure!

[@jeffrowlette]

Heck yes...more HENDRIX!!!!!

[@jimc6687]

This is like at least 90% of everything you need to really know on guitar! Jim C.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

13:14 I like to curl my hand around the top of the neck just a little more sometimes and get that fifth string with my thumb to play like C or D chord and it sounds cool because you can shift a bit and grab that low string too and put a little more balls into that power chord

[@christopherkuefler9839]

What can ya say? RJ certainly knows what he is doing!

[@BrettPapa]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@DC-hd5bo]

Sounds angelical

👍🏻 What a fantastic intro. To misquote a famous comedy sketch: you're playing all the notes of Hey Joe, but in a different order...

[@BrettPapa]

Haha

It's by RS Guitarworks, the model is called the Twisted

[@arottie4097]

[@themicdfiles1865]

Thanks for info on the guitar, RJ. I’m sitting here wondering what is going on there and “Twisted” sums it up nicely. I’m going to check that guitar out because I have a blank in my shop that I’ve been waiting on the right thing to come along. Very cool. Thanks, man. I really enjoyed this video!

[@stevec9972]

Just re watched again, there is so much detail Thankyou. Every time I see your pink Nash I want to ask why the bridge Pu is on an angle vs straight. Is it because of wider pole piece spacing ?

[@BrettPapa]

We just left it that way so we didn't to cut out so much wood. Plus I have always liked the angled look. Thanks for watching!

[@davidblanche7961]

I finished the first Hendrix lessons on your membership site. I’m hoping that there’s no repeat. I don’t mean in the songs. I mean in the technical aspect.. once you get the thumb thing down rest is pretty easy to me. Is this gonna show me more of the things that Hendrix did that other players didn’t? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

[@Mike-rw2nh]

Valid question. As a fellow customer, I’m curious too.

[@digitalchris6681]

@@Mike-rw2nhMake that two customers...

[@BrettPapa]

RJ’s Hendrix courses will be more on the technical aspects of Jimi’s playing. So of the basic info may be similar but we dive in in way more detail to the picking hand soloing techniques etc. My course sets the foundation and will give you an understanding what he was doing RJ’s is more about feel and technique.

[@cheechchong2521]

sing it papa!!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha!

[@mikesimer7451]

That's a sick a** guitar!

[@BrettPapa]

Yep sounds great too

[@tylerboley1786]

ok you two mad Jimi aficionados, both clearly masterful.. I've heard you both play lot's of JImi here with great strats, done lots of specific pedal demos, on and on... but I've yet to hear anyone match the kind of smooth saturation and girth of Villanova Junction at Woodstock. Massive, OD'd, yet smooth and tonefull... or the gigantic sound of Voodoo Child Slight Return, the Electric Ladylland album version, particularly right after the intro, when he kicks in the fuzzface, Incredible sound, yet to be bettered. If I could assign you two a challenge, that would be it, approach those iconic Jimi sounds. Can it be done?

[@BrettPapa]

Well there are a number of things that go into that. 1. Jimi and his hands. 2. All of those tones go through specific amps and cabinets, in a certain room, with a mic, into a mic preamp or board, compressors. EQ, recorded onto a tape machine, and on and on. So many things go into the tones we are hearing on records. The tone Jimi was hearing and got while playing may not even be what ended up on the record. All that being said we can all strive to get close haha!

[@tylerboley1786]

@@BrettPapa agreed of course. I've been chasing sounds since I saw him live in Seattle in 1968, and 2 times after that. I've used original FFs and plexis of the era, and way to many strats, and much more. This has been going on all these decades. I realize what you are saying of course. I'm just pointing out, that despite renewed attention by smart and talented people and current technology, no one has yet to really approach some of those tones... I appreciate the love of Jimi both of you demonstrate ✌

Nothing wrong with being an expert in the style of someone who has so fundamentally influenced the very core of guitar playing l, but what’s with upside down guitar. Jimi didnt do this for aesthetics. Seems silly.
