🎸 Jimi Hendrix Guitar Course [Lesson 1] How To Play Like Jimi Hendrix
Welcome to our Jimi Hendrix player study. We're studying everything that defines Hendrix as a guitar player. This includes his exceptional lead skills, rhythmic prowess, and chord mastery. We'll explore how he seamlessly combined all of these elements to create something truly groundbreaking. From full on fuzz-fuelled rock, to Jimi's trademark chords-with-lead style, Dan will take you through all the technique and theory so you'll be able to create your own music in Hendrix's legendary style.
We'll take you through all the fundamental aspects of Jimi Hendrix's instantly recognisable sound. In Unit 1 we cover a riff based song and the famous 'Hendrix Chord' (technically known as an E7#9) - once you hear it you'll know it! In Units 2 and 3 we really dive into Hendrix's amazing chords plus lead style, using two songs to cover major and minor chords and scales, and the CAGED system to explain it all! In Unit 4 we explore more of Hendrix's straight lead playing. Finally, we give you a chance to try it yourself with lots of guidance from Dan!

For anyone practicing this: the intro is in 90bpm

[@yga]

Nice, thanks for that! Could you get it together at 90bpm??

[@fraenkiboii]

@@yga yep, sort of. I can make it through, but still a little sloppy. Just need a couple of hours practice. Can't wait to see the next session :)

[@paulmundy8312]

Great lesson, thankyou. One thing I was fascinated by though was your ability to "hide" your pick & then bring it back. This is a technique that i just cant grasp & at 52 years old, I dont think i ever will. Would love to see a lesson on how to do this please. Thanks for posting these great lessons. Very much appreciated.

[@mauriliorego]

Awesome lesson.

[@stoneflez9794]

I learnt this course a couple months ago and after a year of trying guitsr I finally found what I love to play and I’ve become addicted to learning Hendrix songs but anyway fantastic teacher Thankyou

[@gergemall]

Sounds good. I’m catching up

[@mr.sushiuramaki9846]

Love the fact that you go into detail for us beginners and really show how to play everything. I watch a lot of videos where it seems the person just wants to get back to jamming and halfway teach the lesson. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Thank you for the lesson- entire video was perfectly executed in my opinion.

[@yga]

Thank you very much! :D

[@kanino0666]

Thank you for the lessons of my favourite guitar player ... I remeber when I have 14 years old .... I heard Jimi Hendrix first time at the famous concert in the Royal Albert Hall ...It was change my life... when I have 19 years old , when I started to work I bought with my first salaries my guitar Fender Stratocaster American Standard and can't nothing .... with time .... I can play Hey Joe , Wild Thing, Fire , Foxy Lady.... but I want to learn his style to make the mine . Thank you for the lessons

[@yga]

Great comment K! So amazing to hear about your Jimi Hendrix journey 😀😀😀🙏🏻 You are a VERY lucky person to see Jimi live! Slightly jealous I have to say! 😅

[@kanino0666]

@@yga oh no! I try only to say I heard first LP LIVE the Royal Albert Hall That's my dream I born in 76 Jimi was death unhappily yet. I'm very fan of Jimi I have got more of 30 CDs of his music now. I'm guitar aficionado I try to play the hours I can. I want to play better and better . Practice a metronome, you know you are a great profesional player, congratulations

One of the best Hendrix lesson I saw. Great & thanks a lot!

[@santos6409]

thanks a lot, i finally found perfect lessons for learning Jimi hendrix style. Your Guitar Academy and Guitar pilgrim are only i found that are excellent on playing style of Hendrix, for others, i cant say but for me, its perfect way to learn in this lockdown situation!

[@yga]

Thanks Santos! Really appreciate that beautiful feedback! 😀😀😀🤘🤘

[@vitalsenise]

I'm looking forward to your instructional. Hendrix is one of my favorite Guitarists. I had the pleasure of seeing him live in 2 different venues. One of my drummers filled in with the Experience. It was along time ago but unforgettable. He took over for Mike Bloomfield one night and jammed until 3 am.

[@russellbradford314]

Excellent lesson combining rhythm and lead and explained where it comes in at on which beat. Thank you

[@hansgettheflammenwerfer69420]

Paused the video after the intro to learn from ear and then played along with the rest of the video to learn why it worked. Great video!

[@aaron9296]

[@oscarm4154]

best one so far - awesome

[@bluegroove777]

Amazing lessons and a killer track. Thank you very much. Would love to see some more Hendrix stuff.

[@jaywaltmunson484]

Dan - it's the little nuggets of wisdom that you provide like some context about the E7(#9) chord at 6:57 that makes your teaching so much better than most... makes it easier to apply what you are teaching to other contexts. Thank you!

[@yga]

Hey Jay! Great t hear from you you 🤘 Thanks dude, and yes, I ignore the length of video and focus in on getting across the information that you guys need. May as well learn something properly if you're going to learn it eh?! 😊😊

[@rogierasselt4972]

[@agentfluff557thexboxgecko4]

God I love this so much great lesson it’s so well done like doing lessons based on player’s playing styles is such a good idea!!

[@vendedordealho3187]

THANKS!!! I play guitar since for the last year, I've playing some red hot chili Peppers songs, I saw that Jonh Frusciante was influenced by Jimi Hendrix style, and now I started to learn about Hendrix style. your video is helping me Very much.

[@jrvisions]

Wow so glad I found this channel and website! Just completed the intermediate level 2: Playing Hendrix style on the website and I’m absolutely blown away by how well the lessons are structured and taught! This is coming from someone who has subscribed to many well known KZbin Chanel’s and guitar websites. From what I’ve seen and learned from the website thus far, this may be the best I’ve come across to date! All the things that have frustrated me with others instructors are definitely not found here! Dan is a true master instructor who not only knows how to teach but more importantly how to properly structure, pace and drill lessons like no instructor I’m ever come across to date! He really gives you all that you need to locked things down while also providing all the info needed understand all that he’s teaching. Again Just blown away! I’m definitely subscribed and here to stay!! 😎🎸🎶💯👈

[@yga]

Thank you so much for such a magical review and impressive feedback! When we get lovely reviews like this it makes all the hard work worth while :) :) Welcome on board and we're excited to help you reach your guitar goals!! 😍😀

[@jrvisions]

@@yga 😎🎸🎶💯👍

[@TheeHitch]

Great lesson, been practicing this and also playing a version of it as a 12 bar by moving the initial riff into key of A by moving it down a string and then playing Hendrix chord on 12th fret as an A and doing a riff in same key tame also doing same chord shape but as a B and then corresponding riff in same key. Sounds great but it took loads of practice to get it right!

[@yga]

Hi Paul, that's a great exercises to do, really helps you with getting moving around the fretboard might have to give it a try myself! -Cam

[@bearseatsheep]

Fantastic! Thank you

[@adarshshankar4938]

Finally!! Thank you so much for this ! I'm gonna start strumming away on my acoustic now since I can't afford an electric :(

[@yga]

Yes give it a go on the acoustic for now, it will defo toughen up the fingers. One bit of advice - Replace any bends with slides, otherwise you'll really be in a world of pain! I'd love to hear an acoustic guitar version of this! 😁😁😁

How come it to me years to find you? You should be on the number search result on YT! Ei, may god bless you all guys for sharing what you have! Music save lives!

[@antkn33]

Excellent instruction. This is a little beyond my abilities. Do you have a tutorial that will build up to this?

[@PoppieLand]

awesome awesome awesome

OMG! THANKS

[@yga]

Pleasure!! How’d you get on with the first lesson?? 😀🙏🏻

[@nilsaw101]

Question: Whats the theory behind the E7(#9) fitting the Em pentatonic scale. Any quick explanation? BTW quickly went through the entire series and I've decided to buy this course! I've been in the guitar playing rut since the last 7-8 years! Felt like I've been practicing in circles making very slow progress with office work on the side. I've bought tutorial videos before out of frustration but those did not explain the details which you did. This videos series is just what I needed. Thank-you so much for making it! Brought the material in a way to thank you guys, even though its for free on youtube. The tabs in the material do help though!

[@yga]

Amazing, thank you so much for the support and we're so happy that you are enjoying and finding the workbook helpful alongside the course! 🙌 As for your question there are many shared notes between the E7(#9) and Em pentatonic with the exception on the major 3rd as the #9 covers the minor 3rd but its purpose isn't to fit in, its more meant to stand out and bring tension before going back to Em. Hope this helps!

[@tubui8830]

U got my sub

[@yga]

Welcome aboard!! 😍🎸🎸🎸

[@badmilk1735]

The track started and blew my face off....put my guitar down and said to myself. You better finish the Hendrix style chords part 2 before you start this course :) once i play this I'll actually be able to pretend like i can play guitar

[@yga]

Haha! That was the number one focus on this track - face melting! Yes stick with what you are learning, this course will be ready when you need 🙏🏻😀😀

[@fredfloyd34]

Play anything on Crash landing or midnight lightning.

[@thomdebom]

Can you provide us some insights in how you create that awesome tone? Guitar settings, amp, amp settings, pedals, pedal settings, am I missing something 😅? Great content, and for free?!?! Keep up the good work!

[@yga]

Actually it was all via the Kemper amp with a Marshall 60’s style preset! Amazing bit of kit!

[@thomdebom]

@@yga Awesome! Thanks! Now also see an answer on my question in the full course I (that I just bought because this great content should be supported. Am I right?!) :)

[@ABWEndon]

What gauge of guitar strings would you recommend for playing like Hendrix? Great tutorial, thanks.

[@yga]

Whatever strings are most comfortable for you fingers as they'll be doing most of the work to sound like hendrix!

[@martinallain6879]

Great lesson! Where can I get the backing track for it ? Cheers 🍻

[@yga]

Thank you, you can find backing tracks and much more here! yourguitaracademy.com/courses/jimi-hendrix/lessons/hoodoo-baby

[@MindDezign]

Jimi loved the studio. They put out a CD with a bunch of studio cut ups on it. And when you listen you will discover, just as I did. Jimi just would jam and bang out ideas onto a recording. You can hear many pieces of his songs in these recordings. Then he would take these pieces and put these ideas and fills into his poems. Making them songs, we watch him in awe because it looks like he plays this music off the top of his head. NO ! He edited his on jam sessions, and reassembled them into music to back up his poems. And before Jimi was known as Jimi Hendrix he played in Black musicians bands across the country as a guitar play not as a front man. So he had lots of practice playing guitar on stage before he Went to England ,played every where he could, and bought funky European flower power / hip-pie clothes . Formed a Band over in England and came Back to the USA as the Super Hero we know as Jimi Hendrix. He came with British musicians and experimental British effects pedals, He came with fresh new poems and after stunning most of the British Music industry Darlings, with his experience in guitar playing as a band member. He found the confidence to sing , because Bob Dylan sang so poorly and made Albums of his Music.

[@yga]

Thanks for sharing this cool information with us! 🤟

[@parikhit9519]

❤❤❤❤

[@freddyfilms2720]

Do you think you could do Peter Green as a course please?

[@johnniecoyle3482]

Question about about 5 position in . Where you kind of muting

[@thefirsthokage9609]

Tnx for all the vids when youre done with hendrix please so john fruscuiante

[@yga]

Absolutely! He’s on the list for sure!

[@howard9663]

This is a bit unrelated but will there ever be a course on how to play like Johnny Marr? He's a bit underrated but he's one of the greatest guitar players I know

[@yga]

It's not likely but we could never write it off as he is definitely an underrated guitarist!

[@327clindsay]

Hey I bought the course. But guitar too clean. What pedal do you recommend for the gain sound you are getting?

[@yga]

Hi Chris! I’d say go for a fuzz pedal of some kind - there are so many around that I’m sure you’ll find something.

[@thomasvankuik9066]

Here I am on my acoustic guitar.

[@yga]

Haha! You may struggle a tad...

[@hoseinaura1]

YGA is all any guitar players needs, you guys are amazing and I don't understand how all of this is for free.

[@yga]

Haha! Thank you for the beautiful review! This is truly one of those rare cases in life where there are no catches! Enjoy the course! 🙏

[@JGAbstract]

That E dom7 sharp 9 is a major 3rd and a minor third (sharp 9) creating dissonance?

[@yga]

Exactly Juan! It’s all about that tension and dissonant sound here 😀😀😀

[@MemphisGonz]

What program / drum machine is recommended for practicing with rhythm ??

[@yga]

Hi Matthew! Well, any drum machine will do the job - For example, if you have a mac you can use the drums in Garage Band? I use an Alesis SR18 🤘🤘

[@makk8218]

Any Idea where can I listen to the original Hoodoo baby song by Hendrix? or Is the name of the song something else?

[@potato123ivan2]

What’s the difference between this free course and the paid version on your website?

[@yga]

The only difference is that you can download all the video, audio and bonus extras in the paid version. So if you want to have it all offline then that's for you! 🤘🤘🤘

[@GyundoKim]

At first sight, he is like Jared at Drumeo

[@charlierobbins1797]

Which course should I do if I can play scales and licks but I don’t know about keys or notes on the guitar?

[@yga]

Hmm, it sounds as though you should og back a little bit to basics. I would tackle this course: yourguitaracademy.com/courses/lead-guitar-beginners It will really help lay those foundations fo you, then you can fly through the follow up lead guitar courses! Let me know how you get on 😊😊

[@yga]

Also, we have a great theory section that will help: yourguitaracademy.com/courses/essential-theory

[@charlierobbins1797]

Thanks so much

[@idavidcrawford]

What scale would go over the E7#9 ?

[@yga]

An E minor pentatonic will work the best really!

[@cauannoslaunos2569]

Start: 1:52

[@foemari3401]

What’d you use for the drums like a beat machine or sum?

[@yga]

Hey there, We usually use logic to create a drum beat but Garageband or any drums app will usually allow you to create a beat to drum along too!

[@UhovMan]

How about footstomping?

[@yga]

Footstomp as much as you see fit :)
