Jimi Hendrix SLOW BLUES Masterclass: 12 Incredible Bars from RED HOUSE, Live in 1969 (Guitar Lesson)

[@PowMusic]

I hope you enjoy this lesson as much as I enjoyed making it. Typo Corrections: the Bb7 is a sub for E7, not a sub for Eb7 - it's mislabeled on the intro chords but explained correctly during the lesson at 4:23 . Second Typo: the very first B major chord, the note labeled b7 is just the root (1) 🤪. Also, Jimi was tuned down a whole step here which means his fingers were two frets higher than as shown, but I kept it like this so people can stay in standard tuning. His strings must have been super slinky like that - usually he tuned down just a half step!!! Here are the chapters: 0:00 - Intro Chords 0:15 - measures 3 and 4 A7 opening opening riff 0:24 - measure 5 D7 riff 0:31 - measure 6 and 7 - D7 to A7 riff 0:43 - measure 8 A7 riff 0:46 - measure 8-9 - A7-E7 riff 0:54 - measure 10 D7 riff 0:58 - measure 10 to 11 D7 to A7 riff 1:03 - measure 11 A7 to D7 riff 1:05 - measure 11 to 12 D7 to A7 riff 1:09 - measure 12 A7 to E7 Riff 1:13 - intro chords variation to start second round of 12 bars 1:25 - intro from Gary on overview of lesson 1:58 - Gary plays Hendrix’s riffs with his own variations 2:27 - Gary’s goal for the lesson 2:40 - Gary’s courses preview (soloing for complete beginners, fretLIVE fretboard mastery) 3:06 - Explanation and breakdown of the mishap between Noel and Jimi on starting in the wrong key 3:23 - Intro chords lessons and breakdown 4:23 - Jimi’s use of a TRITONE SUBSTITUTION in the intro chords explained! 6:31 - breakdown of the moment Jimi and Noel clash, and Jimi changes keys! 7:10 - measures 3 and 4 A7 opening riff breakdown and Hendrix’s signature two string bending trick 8:43 - measure 5 D7 riff breakdown, when band kicks in 11:06 - measure 6 and 7 - D7 to A7 riff breakdown 12:29 - How Jimi holds the pick and angles the pick 13:27 - measure 8 A7 riff breakdown and change in tone 16:45 - measure 8-9 A7-E7 riff breakdown 18:00 - Jimi’s unique custom string gauge .10 -.38 18:44 - return to measure 8-9 A7-E7 lick breakdown 19:57 - measure 10 D7 riff breakdown 21:43 - measure 10 to 11 D7 to A7 riff breakdown 22:31 - measure 11 A7 to D7 riff breakdown 23:06 - measure 11 to 12 D7 to A7 riff breakdown 23:41 - measure 12 A7 to E7 riff breakdown 24:14 - Play through of transcription, note for note at full speed, and tips on making it your own! 25:36 - Play through, but slightly changes ideas to help make them part of my own vocabulary! 26:52 - 12 Bar Jam Track!

Jimi was the true definition of a prodigy. His entire body of work was all created before his 28th birthday and people can study it their whole lives and never master it. We’re lucky so much of it got recorded.

[@jkws3724]

He played guitar day in day out, not too impressive if you have 25 years I of playing

[@bharper1816b]

In order to get as good as he was he would've had to play day in and out. All the greats did.... And THAT'S what makes it impressive. It's the DISCIPLINE. You're welcome.

[@DanFernandesBenficaSaint]

😂 then you find out ALL musicians are CHOSEN for you! 😂 there are plenty of great musicians around, but none of them have the bloodlines or will do the worst kind of thing to another human being for the game and glory. This is why so many have drug addiction because they were born into the family, and thus heavily abused or they done that to others, nearly always children. Musical Truth vol 1-3. Read this. Weird Scenes Inside Laurel Canyon. Read this. Nothing is by chance. No more heroes. Pretty good way to start living your life and not idolising others.

[@congamike1]

I've been practicing the pentatonic scale so much that I can't break out of it. Seeing the notes that Jimi actually played is startlingly helpful to me. Thanks! This is my first video watched in this channel and I love it here.

[@micuzzu]

I used to watch him play this rendition of Red House everyday multiple times when I was first learning. Cant get enough

[@otaviorodrigues7970]

I just started watching this video, and MAN your job is seriously one of the best when it comes to guitar lessons. Never thought I would see such a detailed lesson of Red house, a Jimi's masterpiece that I recently got really into. I was feeling kinda lost when trying to improvise over this one, and I'm sure this lesson will help me a lot. Keep up the amazing work man, cheers from Brazil!

These videos are so good. For someone fairly new to guitar it's interesting to see the form of the different sections eg: pentatonic, tri-tones, etc. Something I'm unsure of but trying to understand. I hope I understand that correctly. Thanks.

[@ElvisPereira-ex9dy]

Hotttdamn my dude, what a lesson!! Thank you so much, i love how you explain the theory behind it all. I find that very necessary because a lot of people just play but i think its lame if you dont actually KNOW and understand what you are playing. Thanks again!!

[@joepalooka2145]

Totally awesome. The problem with analyzing Jimi Hendrix is that you can get all the notes, but there's another dimension that is way beyond which you can never get unless you're Jimi himself. The same with Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker etc --- some musicians are touched by God. The rest of us mortals are down in the valley looking up at the top of the mountain.

[@TrillyenKut]

I've seen some GREAT Red House break downs.....but this my friend.....THIS ! is above and beyond. You are the "Hendrix" of teaching guitar.... Innovatively Extreme 🎉

[@eduardoprieto5267]

Slow flo jimbo. Stratyville.

[@dezionlion]

His low e string was a 38 hence the soft touch

[@yoping00]

Thank you I've learned so much techniques in watching just one video

[@HigherPlanes]

Insane Hendrix lesson. This FretLive stuff is new to me, but oh my God...it makes learning a song so much easier.

[@joshuajkoplin]

Jimi most likely didn’t have his Gibsons strung the same as his Strats. He strung his Strats with lighter low strings and heavier high strings because when the headstock is flipped it affects the tension on the strings. A reverse headstock guitar will make your high strings have less tension and more tension on your low strings. That’s why his sets were lighter on the low strings and the gauge was bigger on the high strings. The length differences of the strings beyond the nut affect the tension.

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

[@Australien8]

DUDEEEE THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME! great bloody work!!!

[@YvesRoulland]

Hi, Thanks for your great work. I'd just like to tell you that I think a single A blues scale in mind, with extra notes added is not a good way to understand Blues improvisation anymore. I've recently listenned to Ross Campbell (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5iWhaSNr6Z9jcU), and I'm sure that he's right. You ought to think A7, D7 and E7 chords (with respective blues scales). It's confusing because notes are quite the same, but when you play on IV you need to have D Blues scale in mind, not A Blues with D 3rd or other extra notes. Same for V, it could be seen as E minor penta with b13. Just have a look at Ross Campbell explanation, that your great lesson could perhaps be improved with a different approche on IV and V. many thanks, Yves.
