Jon. I just subscribed. I’m adding to my repertoire of stuff for local open mic and weekly fireside jams. This lick has been tons of fun to toy with on acoustic, finger picked. Thank you! I love this lesson and many others you’ve done!

[@neilmalone798]

Wow. Great lick. Great lesson. Thanks very much!

[@ohfugit]

Enjoying this one. The cheat sheet takes me to an intervals pdf instead of an ear training one.

Jimi's "Voodoo Chile" on ELL is probably one of his best recordings. He tuned to D standard iirc. Phenomenal

[@ModernPsychadelic]

Sure is! Fender Bassman on full display!

Muddy Waters played this riff in his version of "Catfish Blues" called "Rolling Stone" before, and I guess even he was not the first.

Great commentary on great groove that you can enjoy by yourself, meditation forever. He boosted the Muddy original making it sing. Loop and add your fills.

[@riffdigger2133]

And I like how you count it, subdivide blues triplet. Lock and tight.

Inspired by Muddy Waters.

That white strat looks & sounds killer good. Of course your playing has a lot to do with it lol.

[@thrashmetalmessiah85]

Ive learned, very recently at that, thhe AMP is tge sound. I found an amp at a church yard, no shit- for $7.00 bucks. Man that thing rivals ANY amp ive ever used. Including my old school 1960's Silvertone. It's called Pacific amps. But the guitar does help too.

[@Paul-n4p5i]

@@thrashmetalmessiah85Searched reverb & Google. Only thing I found was pacific transformers which are used in Fender amps. Maybe in other brands also, idk

[@garyssimo]

I found a 56 strat in refinished white like the woodstock one Jmi used. It was a !ot of $ in 95. $2,600 now insured for 28k. Frets are toast again and neck is scalloped by my fingers and maybe 10,000 hrs play time.

[@YungTrinidad407]

I have one myself

[@stupatrick]

Ace riff and thanks for the guidance on it. It'd be great if you could just mention that Jimi played it in drop Eb tuning but do your demo in normal tuning

God bless Muddy Waters ❤ and thank so much 🙏

“ When the Purple Haze is poured in the tea cup…it becomes the tea cup..Now Purple Haze can flow or it can crash…Be Purple Haze my friend “ - Bruce Hendrix

Check out the original version by Muddy Waters called Rollin’ Stone

[@davidlessig]

what pickups and what amp?

[@ChollaJJ]

I have been loosely looking for why, Hendrix had or has the reputation he has, in light of all the great guitar players, now or during or before his era ? 👍. Thanks Jon.

[@bluesXL]

It's a great lick, and Hendrix is the best, but don't forget to listen to Muddy Waters who played this lick before Hendrix was born

[@dukeravenshadow5532]

Bruce Lee is buried not far from Jimi in Washington

[@ItsJustRyan89]

No way??

[@regandunn4850]

Ive started singing and playing first time in my 30 years of playing i couldn't do it but I have gone back to Hendrix songs to play along and simg to fir practice and im loving it hes loke he can't sing and play very well i reckon and he picks cover songs that are easy for practice at the start of the London eea he has a lot of interesting gigs i watch a lot of the lives and toward the end you can see a change in him the wrong drugs turned up and it was noticeable other times his playing is like a new kind of yhree Demionsn

[@jerrytolley4473]

You really have been watching too many Bruce Lee films if you believe everything written or spoken about him. Guitar playing is good though.

[@sixpenske1940]

The internet has made people to lazy to slide a red dot across to the spot of the video you want to watch

[@garyssimo]

Are u insane?

[@jjmcwill1881]

Says none of your favorite guitarists.

[@Les537]

That riff is 99.9% Muddy Waters.

[@CorbCorbin]

Yes, which is why Jimi would often say “have you heard of Muddy Waters? Have you heard of Mississippi…” or mention Muddy in some way. Muddy and B.B. were two of the first guitarists that Jimi could figure out, when he first had a guitar, learning by listening to the radio or vinyl. Albert King had a real issue with Jimi, denying he could play blues, let alone admit that Jimi was a better player. He even said he taught Jimi what blues was one night. He likely met Hendrix when Jimi worked the Chitlin circuit, and when he was going session work and live shows with Little Richard and the Isley Bros. In reality, Jimi makes Albert sound like a much older man than he was, when he played Born Under a Bad Sign, that’s included on the same Blues album compilation. It’s just an instrumental live jam, from a studio session, yet he demolishes anything Albert ever played, just within jamming off that song. Jimi’s own blues pieces, were just so beyond, even the first studio Red House version, which was as close to a standard 12 bar blues, that Jimi ever did.

This is so similar to Robin Trowers “Bridge of Sighs” with a different beat, cool!😊
