Man, I didn't pick up the guitar to play it until I was 30. Now at 56 I look for stuff all the time to learn. I've got tablature, and song books on Hendrix songs and they'll show chords he's playing and I'll play it and think, that's not what he's doing. I'll noodle around with and eventually figure it out. But you just put it out there, he is playing partial chords. I'm in full agreement him seeing it in the pentatonic sense too. Great video. Thank you.

I know a lot of people are partial to Are You Experienced, and it does have a lot of hit songs, and great songs... but Are You Experienced is his best, IMO.

Whoa - that's impressive and awesome! I have some of his live recordings, but nowhere near 200 (that's cool!). He really is/was one of the most unique guitarists to EVER pick up the instrument. I love the fact that everyone in England was doing their thing in their own blues-influenced worlds, but then Chas brought Jimi to the UK and everyone completely freaked out. They huddled together and rode it out it like it was "hurricane Hendrix" blowing through England. : ) hahaha! I remember reading that Townshend and Clapton would occasionally meet at a movie theater and while the movie played they basically sat there talking about Hendrix the entire time. I also love the photo of The Beatles watching Hendrix play live from a booth above the stage. The expression on each of their faces was primal FEAR - especially George! : ) Great comment and thanks for watching!

Castles Made of Sand at the end there was sweet! The one thing I think most people overlook about Hendrix is that while he was doing all that magic on guitar he was also doing the vocals. Which, if you've tried to do, is almost impossible.
@LateNightLessons5 жыл бұрын
Thanks buddy! : ) That's actually one area of music that has eluded me forever. I was in choir for four years in high school and have sang backup vocals in bands forever, but as far as playing an entire song and also singing lead vocals is impossibly hard for me. I can sing little "oohs" and "ahhs" but as far as tackling something more difficult than say a Tom Petty tune while playing guitar is beyond me. I've tried and tried to master that ability, but I'm not really a vocalist (in reality) and I've always worked in groups that had a lead vocalist, so the pressure and spotlight wasn't on me and my weak-sync vocals. I'm fine with it, as it gives me more time to focus on what I'm playing on guitar. : ) Thanks again and take care!

Grew up on Eddie Van Halen, but since I could never quite even come close to playing as he did, I tilted to play more punk and alternative. Wasn't till well into my 30s sometime that I realized certain things like him tuning half step down. That would have been helpful. Ha. I knew most major and minor chords, but never bothered to learn a scale or simple chromatic till I turned 30 something. That was the 'Neo' hallway moment for me.

You have the best lessons, man. And you've covered Queensryche and Rush stuff, so obviously you're a pretty cool guy. :P 5:27 is just further confirmation that my decision to switch my string gauge down to 9-42 is the correct decision (I've always used 10s and replaced the 10 with a 9.5). It's funny how people like me who have read too much stuff on the internet blindly switched up to string gauges that are harder to play and harder on our tendons and joints and make it harder (or not possible) to vibrato a chord. In my case, it is probably because of SRV... though I do think that chasing SRV's tone may be the one justified reason to use 11s (tuned down to Eb) due solely to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXLIYqmXqbWjsKM Famous guitarists who play 9-42 sets: Almost all of them except SRV (13-58) and Hendrix who played banjo strings with an 8 on the top. I think Eddie Van Halen played 9 12 15.... something 40. Tiny little strings. And his tone is highly sought after. The string gauges clearly don't matter through a distorted amp. That was quite a tangent I went on there. Oh well, thanks for the fantastic top notch videos! (I'm too old to know how to make one)
