Hendrix Style Blues Rhythm Lesson

Join The TXBA Locals: texasbluesalle...
This Video's Page: texasbluesalle...
This Muddy Waters inspired rhythm can be heard on Hendrix's Catfish Blues and another variety on Voodoo Chile Blues. It's very simple, using just a call and response technique to create a conversational feel. In this lesson you'll learn the "call" lick and several "response" licks to use together.

really glad to see a person who knows how to explain things AND is a great player at the same time

[@GuitarLord3000]

Your teaching skills are so impressive! I can tell you really put alot of work into what you do. Instead of teaching us to play note for note, you give us variations on it and show how to make it your own. You're officially my favorite teacher on KZbin :)

[@custerranch]

After playing acoustic for over 30 years, my kids bought me a Tele and I'm having a blast learning licks! Guitar is fun again! (And my arms are killing me)

[@onionkeeper]

I've been fighting a hellish tendonitis / tenosynovitis for over two years, I got it from practising fast guitar runs with too much tension in the left hand wrist. I had been playing for some 15 years at that point. I would strongly advice against practicing until feeling pain. Otherwise nice lesson. Love the playing, and the camera angles.

[@davidb5659]

Important point! Tendonitis can be pretty horrible. You want to practice to the point of *exhaustion* - not pain. Make sure you recognize the difference. Practice the lick as fast as you can. When your hand gets tired, stop. Next day, do the same. It’s a good idea to use a metronome for these kinds of things. Set the metronome at a speed you can manage without errors. When you do it 3 times without error, kick it up 5 bpm. Repeat. If it ever hurts, STOP!

[@PicklePaint]

Same. My thumb is wrecked

[@Texasbluesalley]

@foxgirl38 Catfish Blues is one of the best examples of what I'm teaching here. I LOVE the Hendrix Blues CD. Nothing else like it.

[@SuperOlds88]

Very nice job of teaching. Thanks for sharing.

[@denisblack9897]

[@iang265]

Great lesson yet again. I've already had hours of fun from this one!

[@AxelErixon1]

-What's your name? -My name is Anthony! Haha, you make it so easy to understand! I just love your free lessons and your premium lessons is awesome as well :) One of the reasons that I started to play guitar was because I heard Stevie, and I'm just so glad that it is someone out there who not only loves to listen to his music, but also teach licks and riffs in his style. Thank you!

[@Beachbumartist]

Great lesson and I saw you use that Muddy Waters Catfish Blues lick that evertone used after him which is great. Thanks so much

[@johnny4blues]

Thank you so much Anthony! It's always a pleasure to watch your video lessons.

Really refreshing lesson! Will definitely check out all your videos. Nice angle on the camera too.

[@Ferguson1000]

Dude, thanks so much! I've been looking for this way to play this long Voodoo Chile Blues for a long time! Awesome!

[@dulcimerz2drumstix]

Very similar to Jimi"s version of "Catfish Blues". It's here, on KZbin.

[@guitarplayingman]

Great lessons!!! Thankyou..........You help all of us to leap tall buildings......

[@albertt.6051]

Very well presented with different angles and technique views.

[@erodoeht]

that last lick was SICK genius thanks anthony

[@cristianm.9404]

duuuude that compressor sounds amazing!

[@Voodoo66Chile]

The part about increasing trill speed, I have a great suggestion for anyone trying to build finger speed and strength especially with Jimi style trills. Most finger exercises neglect the muscles for opening your hand/lifting your fingers and so I suggest a great simple exercise. Get a rubber band, make your hand/fingers into like a sock puppet position, place the rubber band around the ends of your fingers and open/spread your fingers like you're trying to grab/grip a softball/large ball, start off with 5 or 10 repetitions on each hand for about 3 sets, alternating hands between sets. This can vary depending on how resistant your rubber band is, just listen to your body and not overdue anything. I generally aim to find my sweet spot for reps/sets by the amount of "burn" I feel in the muscles on the back of my forearm. (exercise "burn"/fatigue and NOT pain! If anything genuinely hurts I'd recommend stoping immediately). Once I found this little exercise I had instant results. What I had been trying to improve over several months with slow minimal gains I achieved in days doing this. I really hope this helps someone as much as it helped me! I've been playing 20 years and felt like I reached a ceiling in trill speed and endurance, it was so frustrating! I'm still blown away what an improvement it's made.

[@btub09]

favourite riff ever made simple !! nicely done

[@mr.bonesbbq3288]

Excellent tutorial, amigo! I been doin this a whole lotta decades, but learned some new stuff from yer video.

[@HenryBrutale]

[@tang350]

WOW!!! Anthony, what a terrific lesson...I was just going to start working on that Catfish Blues opening riff...thank you!

[@ashworthwiltshire7446]

Stevie you are awesome, thanks for this lesson!

[@gatonauta2010]

Awesome!!! Thanks Anthony!!!

[@jasonkesser]

Nice simple lesson man. Some stuff for intermediates here as well. Thank you sir.

[@wailnshred]

This is a good lesson, Anthony.

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

Taking a break & coming back to it is the best tip

[@pizzulo81]

Sounds like Catfish Blues. Also, I've never heard SRV use that 12th fret high E and 15th fret B string bend, but I've heard Jimi go it A LOT! Hendrix also does those bends in Manic Depression.

[@lobserve1]

Great lesson. Thanks.

[@TRose-hc9pv]

That's cool! I have to try that.

[@pepas346]

fenders sound is just amazing

[@stevec356]

Superb lesson! Many thanks.

[@CROSSFIRE19604]

Great Lesson! No technical mumbo jumbo! Just pick up your guitar a learn it! Thanks!

[@whimsicaljournal1148]

[@JackHarveyBaker]

[@NICKWAPPERER117]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much man

[@anthonybymallia7067]

very nice blues notes bravo

[@Fr3derick]

Awesome Grandma Mary

[@BookofIsaiah]

Anthony, would you be willing to do a quick tutorial on how you set up your amp? I love you tone!!!! I know some of that is the guitar, a lot is you and some is the pedals you use but, the amp tone sounds so full and 3-dimensional. Please do a tutorial on the amp! Thanks!!! ~BookofIsaiah

[@lighteningboy]

OMG, awesome tone!!!

[@TheBlackStrat502]

great lesson! thanks!

[@nonya5475]

I like the lesson a lot but you make me carsick rocking back and forth when you are talking and not playing lol.... Never saw anyone else do this. Thanks for the good lesson!

[@SonnyMarcyan]

Great Lesson, Thank You!!!

[@Omri2112]

@gr8bluesgtr There was a radio station near where I live that did some kind of thing where they played a bunch of songs from a single CD, and I tuned in right near the end of the Hendrix Blues CD. I went out and bought it shortly after, because it's definitely amazing. Nice lesson - I've figured a good chunk of this out myself, but there are definitely a few new licks in here, and a few tips to better play that which I have figured out.

[@paulmera7677]

Magistral explicación 👏👏👏

[@Bluesguitar2020]

Badass!! You are a badass!

[@NosferatuRAGE]

Just a heads up for the beginners on here, that last response lick works better and is more commonly used on the G and B strings. Like the 12th fret on B and the 14th fret of G bent with vibrato

[@daveboyes3028]

great lesson, thanks...

[@Berniewahlbrinck]

you have a cool way of explaining - cudos!

[@conorlukiiepearson6749]

An SRV strat.. very, very nice! ;) Great playing aswell aha

[@daniel32082]

you sir just earned one subscriber

[@jimbo33]

Very good!

[@kuno_ichi]

@gr8bluesgtr Always play blues for keeps. Great playing, love Hendrix blues rhythm. One of my bigger influences.

[@ledsabbath1061]

hahaha dude so funny... i watched and learned this video like 2-3 years ago and ive been playing it all the fucking time. i just ran into this lesson and i totally forgot i learned this lick here... greaaatt lick

[@sirmike6004]

This may be for amateurs like myself, but you were once an amateur as well because you weren't born a professional. I won't stop playing no matter how "beginner" or "amateur' level the groove might be. If its groovy and just plain good I'm gonna learn it eventually. I'll just keep what I learn in my pocket and eventually it'll add up to be a lot!!!! I know it!!!!!

[@ventoman45]

Thank you!

[@sgmarshall3]

This is great!

[@JoelPVaillancourt1984]

coolness!!!

[@loveguitars]

Excellent

[@seancloonan22]

I'm no Al Gore, but I'm pretty sure there's only one universal internet. In, all seriousness though, great lesson, thank you for it.

[@tomguitar82]

Good lesson

[@Locust1]

[@RocknRollWilNeverDi1]

Very cool dude thanks.... ☮

[@AxelErixon1]

@gr8bluesgtr Yeah, I think that Hendrix's Blues is ´the best blues CD I've ever heard. What a guitar-player!

[@daledawson1102]

...stuff I can use...thanks!

[@santos0x]

He.s tuned to Eb because SRV and Jimi tuned down a half step, along with many others.

[@andreipripotnev6851]

Thanks.

[@metalvocalistwanted]

And God said.....let there be Hendrix. And there was Hendrix....

Do it until your arm hurts then stop. Come back later and do it again until your arm hurts. Do that every day till you can do it right. Music teaches life lessons
