[@tokingreens]

'on another planet' from all the rest - thank you

[@aintnotomgrossi9116]

Is there a song you don't know? Anytime I need to learn a song you have already posted it.

[@andrewdownie444]

Love your channel....caught up some old ones and saw your plea for us 50 plus guys to get colonoscopies....I have done 2 and could not agree more...men...take care of yourselves!

[@beatlessteve1010]

Like your shirt and anything by Jimmy...and to tie it all together..Jimmy liked Germany too...great lesson!.I never knew his licks were so simple..

[@dongibby5834]

Loving the strat inspired tunes

[@poindexter1387]

You make it look sooo easy.... Thank you for posting🎼👍

[@robertgoodwinr6523]

Thank you James for this lesson and for Aerosmith Sweet Emotion. Greatly Appreciate all your more than generous instruction. Also, you're gonna find that Player Strat is going to be a work horse. I've had mine for over a year now and i've never had an issue with it, never even had it set up. It was perfect right out of the box and just keeps on going...

[@FenderTeleDeluxe]

Well done, as always, sir. Great tone, too.

[@michaelr4063]

Putting that nice new Strat to the test, sounds great. Thx for the lesson JJ

[@musoseven8218]

Awesome, demystifying this stuff and making it accessible - many thanks. I like the way you point out the different versions too.

[@user-hf4ss9cl9s]

Best lesson I’ve ever seen thank you so much and keep rockin brother Happy Thanksgiving

[@toddhumann3825]

Cool,,,! Been off the grid for the last two weeks. Man, you have done a lot of songs i love! Lot of catching up for me to do. Love you dude!

[@thomasbirney5326]

Sick shirt, Sick jams, as always

[@robertlawson4306]

Thank you brother ......peace.....

[@1rwjwith]

Great job, love that strat!

[@markwilmer3404]

Some of the bends you play off the E in the beginning on 11 & 12 resemble a ZZ Topp sound that was to come years later. Didn't Jimi count Billy Gibbons, then from The Moving Sidewalks, among one of his favorite six-string players?

[@kitano0]

He actually mentions Gibbons on the video with Dick Cavett...I think it's Cavett .

[@markwilmer3404]

@@kitano0 Thanks, I missed that part.

[@DavidThomas-mw1ef]

Love that shirt where did you get it?

[@888jimm]

So JJ how you like the player now that you have had it for a minute?? i was going to get that exact one .....until management found out....:)

[@meanmrmusician9469]

There are plenty of exceptions to Hendrix being tuned down half a step. "Purple Haze", "Stone Free", and "Hey Joe" are a few.

[@marcbehrend3470]

Is that banana cream pie your playing 🤭

[@guttermouths]

I believe in Jimi Hendrix.

[@Buddy969]

Great lesson. What is the strat leaning against your amp in the background? I thought it was your new buttercream strat but I guess not.

[@jamesjames9275]

That’s one I’m still working on.

[@Digiphex]

Where do you think his idea for this evolved from? Is there some pieces of music he was inspired from or got these chords from?

[@ethankunoff9459]

Thx great video

[@jonathanengwall2777]

nice and loud

[@luvittodeath7031]

Always liked this song because Ace Frehley covered it.

[@Nick-vm2ut]

Awesome surprise. Do you know why Hendrix had a preference for E flat? As far as I know he wasn’t playing thicker strings like SRV did

[@dsungaripterus2600]

Maybe to do with his vocal comfort zone. I'm no Hendrix expert but I think he used standard tuning quite a lot earlier in his career.

[@johnpaul1789]

Nick 440hz is not the true tuning frequency confusion it is 432hz the true healing frequency according to many scholars of old kings knowledge jimi knew this and much more his lyrics told more than you can possibly imagine

[@jugginator2.068]

He didnt like his voice, Eb is easier to sing, he also played a full step down a lot too, almost as much as Eb, but when he was in backing bands he usually played in standard

[@gooseit]

Forgive me if it's been asked a million times, but how are you achieving that tone? Straight through the amp or are there pedals involved? New strat sounds really good.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

Peavy vypyr 100 i believe. If you have a fifty, sixty watt modeling amp with a bunch of options you can get any tone you need as long as you take the time to dial it in

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer: That tone can be achieved many many ways besides a Peavey Viper Gabe...I'm not knocking the Viper, but u can dial this tone in with many tube amps...

[@ic_1234]

Hey man, I'm thinking of buying a strat, do you find that they are bad for playing pedal-steel-like bends and changing tunings? Also, do you get them decked or blocked? Thanks

[@jamesjames9275]

A hardtail or blocked tremolo would definitely improve the stability for retuning. If it were up to me, all Strats would be hardtails. But the bridge setup isn't such a major hassle that I'd stay away from Strats. I really like this one. I bought it new online and it was priced well below what you see them advertised.

[@ic_1234]

@@jamesjames9275 Yeah, I agree that all of them should be hardtail. For me, the tremolo is like a gimmick, if I wanted serious whammy bar work I'd get a floyd rose. But yeah I guess it's not such a problem on the tuning part. Thanks for answering!

[@infrazion7406]

Lol, goodluck.

[@davebroad642]

I tuned down, and broke a string. :/

[@hesch-tag]

There's a contradiction there.
