Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower - Guitar Tab | Lesson | Cover | Tutorial

[@ia9518]

My brain will never ever comprehend how to play all those embellishments and sing at the same time. Hats off to those that can!

[@theredbluecaptain2742]

just do that song 10 times a day each day, after a week ull be fine

[@woto6090]

​@@theredbluecaptain2742 exactly. Having the song in muscle memory is the key to being able to sing while playing. This applies to any song

[@barringtonsmith9147]

You don't think about it, you feel it

[@holliswilliams8426]

In the studio he recorded vocals and guitar separately, then live just improvised.

[@bryce7350]

Just keep doing it until your fingers just know and then sing your heart out over what your brain is essentially parsing as a backing track because you've done it so much

[@stingaling]

Jimi was a genius. He played such amazing rhythm guitar mixed with frills and solos and then his solos are mixed with double stops and partial chords; it is hard to know where one stops and the other starts! All this while singing and chewing gum and looking like the coolest cat on the planet. What a dude.

[@HaiyeeeTrololol]

Not to mention all while fried on Acid. Most people can't even operate their smart phones on psychedelics, let alone shred some riffs lol

[@lomarsweed6604]

Need tab for the gum chewing

[@thehomefront1905]

Overrated mate, very mediocre today

[@xXCEEHUXx]

@@thehomefront1905 not really

[@thehomefront1905]

Jimi technique was very sloppy, he even struggled to tune his guitar, he was out of tune most of the time during live performances

[@hungfao]

The thing about Hendrix for me has always been how he so rapidly hangs phrases together in the most interesting arrangements. I've never even tried this song and I still may not, but thanks to you I can study the phrases and pinch some ideas. Thanks so much and well done!

[@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons]

No prob. Glad this was helpful. My goal was to put this out there as insight into the background stuff that was going on in the song. All the little fills and whatnot.

[@KC_Smooth]

That's the beauty of music. Self expression! Keep on playing!

[@rafachwaa6981]

@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons hey, man this is just great and I'm very thankful, but I found some mistakes with bends in 3rd solo: at 2:00 it should be 1,5 step bend , over c# and in the next bar over A first bend is 1,5 step but second should 1 step only (or both 1 step, I can't tell). I may be mistaken but have listen to it many times and compared to the original as many times. This part is tricky to play by ear, even harder than other faster or wha wha things, but the way you play these 2 bars feels a little bit off, cheers, great video

[@ozan.arslan]

@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons And you did a great job!

[@emerybraun4698]

Dude his timing in the second solo is so weird. That fast lick at the end of it is super hard to play, not cause it’s fast, but because the timing is so strange. I’d highly recommend you learn the song. It taught me a lot

[@ds-8565]

I was here for a tutorial, but ended up listening to this beautiful solo for the last 20min. 👍 gj bro

[@larrydicus7822]

I’m with you! I wanted to check and see if I might be missing any parts when I play this , mainly i leave our a lot of stuff when I play some times, I’m a very lazy player. I just ended up turning the volume up and listening lol.

[@Rowen170]

True dat. Freaking awesome

[@johnedwards1685]

I was expecting a good deal of speech and repetition of the piece chopped into easy bites. What I got was a mesmerising hypnotic rollercoaster ride to the Gates of Heaven.

2022

[@paulgmarriott]

Agreed. There's me, aged 14, back in 1969, with my cheapo white Japanese Antoria electric guitar and 15 watt practice amp trying to copy Hendrix and other guitar heroes' riffs by endlessly playing and replaying snippets of vinyl albums and singles. Happy days.

I just do not understand on how some one can play a song like this just be ear. Man what a talent that is.

[@manz92]

It's not really that difficult once you know where what belongs in which part of the song. It's just like remembering lyrics but instead embellishments.

[@erwinerwin1245]

@@manz92 I just watched it again and you got this song down perfect. You are a super amazing guitar player.

[@ronhubbard8640]

Hendrix couldn't read music, but he qq`could read tabs. Like so many of his peers, he sadly passed before his time. He, Prince, and Tom Petty too. So sad. This is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn. Oy. ❤️‍🔥

[@erwinerwin1245]

@@ronhubbard8640 I don't think Hendricks relied on tabs as he just made up his own run and licks and was one of those guys that had perfect pitch. Perfect pitch as if you hit say any note on a guitar or piano he cold tell you that is a F# for example.

[@cerrito7806]

@@erwinerwin1245 he actually did not have perfect pitch - he had a very hard time tuning his guitar; it's documented pretty well. At the gig when the Beatles song came out that Hendrix covered 2 days later; he asked Clapton if he could help him tune his guitar- pretty wild. Hendrix however was a creative genius.

Can’t believe I just discovered this channel & your excellent guitar playing. I’m currently broke due to chronic health problems limiting my ability to work much, but as soon as I’m able to I will donate to your channel &/or subscribe to your Patreon.

[@Alfa75V6]

it’s such a master piece that never ever bores me.

[@barryh3607]

Wow, very nice job on the whole song. Especially hitting all those bends and unison bends in pitch with perfect vibrato through out, really good!

[@llwonder]

Wow this is great. I love how you included the rhythm. So many people upload tabs without the timing and it's tough to figure it out myself on hard songs.

[@sucraloss]

I love your adherence to getting the sound like the recording. Usually when I see tabs and lessons online they are close to the recording and I have to play with it a bit after I learn it to get it to sound like the recording, but this is perfect.

[@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons]

Glad you like them! In case you're interested how I do it, all tones and effects I use software called Amplitube Max. This software contains many virtual amps and pedals. The plug-ins are available to all my Patreon subscribers so you that if you have Amplitube Max yourself, you can get exactly the same tone as me at home. I also offer screenshots of the virtual amps and pedals so that if you don’t have Amplitube you can attempt to replicate the tone using whatever equipment you have available.

[@ignskeletons]

I can't even fathom Jimi just sitting down one day and coming up with THIS as an original thought all in his head for the first time. Many seasoned guitar pros struggle to play it accurately, he had to create the notes from scratch and go 'yea that's good'.

This is exactly what I needed after a day like today. Amazing tone from your gear, superb skills as always

[@rebecca1971007]

this is my dads favourite song, i’m so excited to learn it i’ll surprise him on his birthday with it. Thanks so much for these perfect tabs man! Apreciate ur precision. he’ll actually be surprised not only cuz its his fave song , but because he knows all i play is mostly megadeth/other heavy stuff, this is a more calmer tone xd Btw do you think you can cover Lucretia? The solo is packed with tasty licks and feeling ( ik you did holy wars , amazing too, but lucretia has just as awesome solos as holy wars imo xd ) Anyways, much love!🖤 P.S: i found it funny whenever u shared some behind the scenes moments like on tornado of souls, end of the vid u showed when in the solo the string broke 💀

Thats awesome! Tell him Mr. Tabs wishes him a happy birthday! We'd love to do Lucretia, it's one of my favourites from Rust in Peace. There's a link to our webpage in the description. You can add any requests you have there, if you'd like. That way we have them all in one spot!

So good. Aside from being immaculately played, the angle and the tabs make this so useful too. 1.1k likes, 3 dislikes. Three Dylan fans LOL.

[@lapdawg60]

Some may have already pointed this out: it's in C#m, but SOUNDS in Cm, since he tuned down to Eb. I'm learning this for a band I'm filling in with on some gigs, and they do it in Bm(!), so l am having to adjust down a full step on all of these fret positions. It's OK though since it's a good mental exercise for me. Great TAB, by the way! Excellent work!

[@ninevoltromeo]

It really made me happy to see you break out the Bic for the slide part in the solo.

[@meglomania2001]

Probably the most accurate rendetion Ive seen so far.Bravo🤗

[@matthewneidiffer2222]

Spot on sounds just like Jimi with the beautiful written out tab this must of felt like a life time to make and Ive always wondered how Jimi must of drove himself crazy making this and on top of that how Bob Dylan must of felt seeing Jimi make this song his truly incredible stuff

[@Ro_Dude69]

For those wandering what the tuning is its 1/2 down/e flat standard if you use a capo on the first fret you just tune it to standard with the capo on and then take it off and you'll have youself 1/2 down/e flat standard tuning.

[@johntiger5]

Or just tune it to D#,G#,C#,F#, A#,D#, if you have a Sharkey tuner if it doesn't recognize flats. No capo needed. It will be a little out of tune with the removal of the capo. Perfect tuning with the tuner. Or use your ear.

[@sailingrumrunner]

Easier to tune standard and use a digitech Digidrop to drop it 1/2 step. I love my digidrop!

[@manz92]

He never (from the few live versions available) played it exactly like the studio version, he probably could have but that's a huge task even for him. He used more generic embellishments for live versions. Clearly his focus was on the lyrics/vocals. He actually refused to play it once because he couldn't remember the lyrics when someone in the audience requested it.
