Jimi Hendrix - 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) - Guitar Lesson - How To Play

[@voodooutube1]

Wow! One of me and my buddies favorite Hendrix tunes we would play over and over in our bunker in Vietnam back in '69...and now, thanks to you Papastache, I can play it myself....well, kinda anyway....thanks bro.....great lesson for a epic Jimi tune!

[@lansley8621]

Very cool story

[@ElectricosCosmos]

Hendrix was such a genius.... How does someone write such amazing music by the time they're 27?

[@skatetodeath666]

yea its just amazing to me as well. I'm 35 and still yet to make something as amazing..kinda hurts he ego a bit lol

[@gratefuldylan8222]

Thousands and thousands of hours of playing(jamming) to get there

[@kipponi]

Imagination and not counting practice hours...

[@theminotaurs]

I think he was only 25 when he came up with this... Keats was dead already.. being a genius is not easy, and you can't just decide to be one.

[@tomasalves3496]

The man slept while playing the guitar. He wasn't a man. But, an extension of a guitar. Plus, tons of lsd and acid

[@lookierebuddy2]

Never thought any teachers considered it as 'epic' as I do. Thanks. Saves me from having to ask. One of my favs in that there is something roiling and molten about the sound which is one very groovy states around which Hendrix composed. Much obliged.

[@MaynardOwns]

Always been my favorite Hendrix song. Thanks.

[@adaptiveagile]

Bret, I know you did this a while back, but had to just say it's an epic, epic lesson. The spooky riff is like this haunting nostalgia time-capsule thing that sends me back to waiting for the bus with my huge mop of hair & plaid 3 piece suit I was forced to wear in first grade -- early 70s. 1983... may be the greatest song ever. Chills me right to the core. Seriously, thanks for the killer lesson. The longer I play, the more I am in awe of Hendrix's genius. The man was a supernova.

[@brandonxoa9385]

Absolute tune when your stoned

[@BrettPapa]

Such a good one!

[@Erykrockmusic]

Or on Acid

[@raymundoo2879]

Just in general. Been years since I've done either and it's still an amazing tune one of the best of all time

[@braveseamen]

i fucking love your channel, noone can possibly make something as abstract as a hendrix song as straightforward as you do. much love keep it real!

[@tonybraines7172]

One of my absolute favourite Hendrix song

[@BrettPapa]

Yep its a good one!

[@Caaarrl94]

1:44 I bet thats exactly what John Frusciante was listening to when he wrote Soul to Squeeze

[@BrianKinderHendrixBlues]

Papa, you are one cool dude. You provide fun and easy to understand lessons. I thank you for being here for all of us!

[@beastmandrum]

best and easiest hendrix lesson ever.

[@secondhandlyon2603]

This is actually one of my favorite Hendrix songs. Great lesson! All I needed was the bones.

[@BrettPapa]

Mine too! Such a great tune!

[@flyinghorse13]

Jimi was like Mozart but playing rock, thanks for the lesson and making it easy

[@BrettPapa]

Yep! Thanks for checking it out!

[@hooyahcqb]

Ghost of Zappa! Love all the Hendrix vids. Don't look at mine. They're from 3 years ago

[@bryancopeland2540]

I still love this brother! I always come back for this!

[@BrettPapa]

Thank ya!

[@albertmaff6684]

Pops you are the Man…thanks so much for your help with this song and many more that Ive been playing.

[@dpkms]

thank you so much. didn't think i would find a video teaching how to play this song, let alone a great teacher to go with it. Really awesome

[@Amhlair]

Hear Jimi's awesome album version in great audio at vimeo.com/78819718 I was blessed to see Jimi live in Fort Worth Texas of all places. In those days you could buy cheap seats and then just wander down to the front, where I put my elbows on the stage and watched Jimi perform about 10 feet away.

[@sixstringsensei6673]

Epic one of my all time favorites. Never seen a lesson on this before

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! It’s a great tune!

[@voodoochile97]

Keep on Hendrix stuff!!! Rock on!

[@excession444]

YES! I was just listening to this amazing song, I haven't heard it in so long and its breaking my fucking heart again. Figured i had to learn it and clicked on the first lesson on KZbin... and its only mutha-fucking Papastach! Winning!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks for watching!

[@norwester7018]

Great lesson Papstache!!! I play it slightly different but you've helped me work out a bunch of the hard to determine bits and made my version SO much more solid. Much thanks for taking the time to do this, it's helped me to get this amazing song in my rep. cheers mate.

[@Hyporama]

one minute in. already awed by the understatement

[@thewakingworld88]

Awesome lesson man, thank you! Probably the best, most accurate lesson Ive seen on 1983. Would love to see some insight behind the solo, what position hes on, maybe if hes using a particular "mode" for the rest of his 8 minute voyage to Atlantis. Even though its only about 10 seconds long, its one of my favorite Hendrix solos'; it is just so perfect, so fitting for the song.

[@MilkywayBlues]

I'm sorry but that yeah at the begging gets me every time

[@coreypaynter4011]

I wanted to learn this song ever sence Ive been playing, thank you for posting this that was pretty damn cool of you. thanks man

[@MrBls4life]

Love your lessons especially the yeah in the beginning you got me doing it now. So glad u have your own channel your a great teacher.

[@flyinghorse13]

One thing that separate Jimi from other players, he play as if he was sight reading or was trained to do so, no sloppy playing no place and used correct note values. To get his music you really need to get the orginal transcriptions.

[@danamiller9076]

I've heard that he was in fact able to sight read and did know theory

[@monsieur57175]

super démonstrations que celles -ci, merci encore papstache...du fond de ma lointaine contrée.Des leçonscomme cela on en redemande MIAM..HENDRIX THE ONE.longue vie et encore merci Mister PAPASTACHE...

[@douglaschristine8387]

How you doing Nashville Brett? Just looked this great lesson and song up and there's the younger you doing what you used to do, Jimi Hendrix, so well. Peace.

[@BrettPapa]

Nashville is great! Haha yep I have been doing Hendrix for a long time now. Too much fun!

[@nickb3250]

Good lesson. The extravagant exaggerations are only funny one in a while though.

[@fiocati]

I love them in every video.

[@NeilOratz]

obscure epic, delightful gracias

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for Checking it out!

[@gregmanny6370]

Thank you for all those Jimi Hendrix things and for spend the time to teach us.

[@SteveArvey]

Thank you!! Thank You!!!

[@runreilly]

Jimi probably played the intro just using the open chords. Actually, your version sounds much better on my guitar because of my ... "setup." Awesome video! Thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

That' the thing, he never plays anything the same way twice haha! Thanks for watching!

[@runreilly]

Always a pleasure. Thanks for the upload, stache! You're getting a lot more of that appropriate swimmy sound in the descending chords than I am. Did you use a pedal for this video?

[@pete7071]

good stuff man keep it up sounds awesum

[@JH-km5nm]

thanks for the lesson!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

I'm still trying to learn it on acoustic, is there a way or could you tell/ show the cord progression that starts at 9:19 That sticks in my head and I just can't figure out how to play it. Thanks again for all your help.
