The Most Bad-Ass Hendrix Rhythm Ever! | Tim Pierce | Guitar Lesson | Learn To Play

[@loudmonkey7]

I'd happily watch Tim play for hours without his godly playing he's just so happy when he plays it makes me smile

[@stephencomstock1625]

that CD, Cry of Love, is an awesome example of lead guitars and catchy bass lines....a must have for blues rock lovers

[@javiersilva5409]

Probably my favorite along with Night bird flying. Do you ever notice that every famous guitarplayer who covers Hendrix never dies this song? Because it's hard to do.

[@numv2]

Freedom is a jewel. Song writing at its best.

[@peternygaard2096]

Love the energy that you bring every time you play! Thanks Tim, keep it up.

[@Wallimann]

That song is so good! I know what I'll be listening to on my next walk. Good job Tim!

[@princeandrew878]

@Lorenzo Jesse flixzone fuckin sucks

[@CorbCorbin]

Hendrix's First Rays of the New Rising Sun has some of the coolest rhythm playing ever done imo. The progressions and fills in Astro Man, In From The Storm, Freedom, Roomful of Mirrors and the beautiful one take Hey Baby are just glorious. Very cool you breaking down what you hear on this track.

[@DavidBagshaw]

Don't forget Earth Blues, I think it's the poetic meter from the lyrics that makes it so beautiful.

[@simonsbuddy1806]

Bad Ass is an understatement!! What a gift to the youtube guitar community. Thank you.

[@Guitargate]

Awesome video Tim! Great catch

[@TroyGuitarGear]

the greatest teacher/player ever, thanks for a great tutorial

[@Mosey410]

I love seeing how much fun you’re having on those opening jams. Thanks for your infectious love of music .

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Great video Tim!

[@Gtraxx1]

Yes! Thank you Tim

[@jorgetenamusic]

Yeaaaaaah!!!! I remember Pensado's episode and his face when you started playing Hendrix stuff, priceless!! You are amazing!!

[@6thMessenger]

Everytime I see one of your videos you inspire me to push myself to be better on guitar. After playing for 20 years I finally had a moment where I thought, "Hey! I think I am starting to get good on the guitar!" But I still have a looooooong way to go.

[@e2jw]

Awesome job Tim! Amazing and soooo well done

[@toddweller]

Freedom is my all time favorite Hendrix song and you rocked it Tim!

[@garrybullard1479]

Ya never cease to amaze me!! Love it man!!

[@surfshack2]

Awesome! This one groooooves! I've always really liked the rhythm on Freedom, it always stood out rhythmically.

[@Robt.Velasquez]

One of the many things I love about your playing is…you’re having a blast. You are really enjoying yourself!

[@fredfloyd68]

Alright Tim ya found your ol Hendrix records.Glad ya did.Tore it up boy!!! Hate to see you run into the Crash landing record...Jam on!

[@SethPerler]

WHOA that's some GREAT stuff there- tasty, stinky playing! thanks Tim - look forward to working on this one

[@thepartimemusician65]

Tim ,you are the MAN.

[@Kozmo260]

Love this song Thanks!

[@mat..n.7061]

The first time I heard Freedom on youtube, the live version, I had a long episode of goosebumps. What a groove!

[@BerndThomasSchuller]

Thanks for this, "Freedom" is a great song, and Hendrix' rhythm playing is always stunningly good.

[@thanosadreou2860]

fantastic jam, fantastic lesson...thank you a lot...

[@evilsheepguitarpickups8340]

Marvellous tone and playing. Really instructive for we who struggle!

[@zenshire]

Cry of Love has many rhythm gems. Fun song to play. Thanks,!

[@benzel5659]

I fucking love you Pierce, to see you smile your way through the track is just wonderful

[@DaddyoftheMack]

Tim, you're awesome!

[@kenlelon369]

this's where you will make your money, Tim. A very valuable, kick-ass skill for a guitarist to internalize.

[@dawson112miller]

Awesome!

[@rocksteady309]

That was Great Tim! thanks for sharing that! i will definitely check it out! That masterclass is on my list too!

[@MrSteelyeye]

fantastic stuff Tim!

[@59strat]

Ah the genius of timi - Awesome !

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

I went back and listened to this about 20 times, lol!! Knowing that it was there and paying attention to it. His playing was really brillant.

[@erickmiec5510]

Tim, spectacular job! Thank you for finding and capturing Jimi‘ s performance on this track. I wonder if Jimi was having just as much fun as you were playing the jam?! Your awesome bro!

[@guitarsword1]

Ur lessons are outstanding , Tnx.

[@mcmillanalex]

Great job editing this video. The pacing is perfect and so are the clear explanations of every part of the song. As usual, your Hendrix-inspired playing really makes me wish I could jam with you! I'd learn a thing or two 🙂

[@ayaxdelvallesanchez7652]

Very nice!!!

[@Sixxiron]

+Tim Pierce Guitar You ARE the KING!!!

[@jacquelynnvancleef2136]

bass line is awesome also

[@BonevoodooMusic]

WoW That was Awesome ,

[@WheatonBrad]

Yes. That is a great "hidden" track. And, if I recall, it pans around a little, making it tough to follow.

[@davidevans3175]

We talked about this a while ago - AWESOME!!! My favorite Hendrix track!

[@juliosalazar9668]

Bloody nice tone mate

[@tammycoates7816]

Julio Salazar I'll second that

[@dirtcreature1]

Incredible sir! Sounds f@cking amazing.

[@robhaskell4043]

Great job Tim.....you have such a nice touch on that guitar!!!! (and you nailed the tone) Cheers from Canada...

[@gamesandcake4892]

Sweet!

[@chasecom1]

I love this guy. He is magnificent. Would love to take lessons from him

[@lpgoog]

Killer cool tone!

[@StephenMarkTurner]

Nice. I can remember air guitaring those two low E notes (after he sings 'Freedom'), back in the 70s

[@MrRobsmalling]

Great Tim! You Rule Buddy! thanks Rob

[@UhovMan]

Great lesson Tim and interesting ideas!

[@thaddeusproshansky5389]

Tim. Great lesson, Hendrix was very weird in his style of playing, I learned a lot from him at his pent house on 125th and 5th Ave in 1967 -1968. Tad

[@chuck347]

TKS Tim, you're a Master

[@larrygeetar9309]

All those years on the road in soul bands gave Hendrix his rhythmic base. These are all James Brown, Isley brothers, Stax/Volt influenced. Curtis Mayfield was also a major influence on pieces like Little Wing, Castles Made Of Sand, The Wind Cries Mary. Those beautiful chord stylings and double stops were from Curtis. I think Steve Cropper may have been a touch point also. Jimi Hendrix was the best rhythm guitarist in rock history - he had "IT." And the "it" was SOUL.

[@ScouseStrat]

Awesome playing!! What I'd give for 1% of Tim's talent!! After watching this I'm somewhere between being inspired to practise like crazy or just giving up entirely :D

[@Poseidon6363]

Brilliant

[@westvalleyjunction]

Tim, thank you for inspiring me to play better!

[@emannicus]

Youre the best please keep it up. Thanks

[@hermannmaier0]

I always figured Freedom to be rooted in c#7 with a minor 3rd voiced in the mix, with the high B and E string ringing open a fair amount, rather than it being based in Cm. The bass and phrase notes are in the relative minor scale, but I think its built on the major chord of that C#7,-3. Same as the Jimi purple haze shape, but in C# he gets the ringing B and E strings to drone along in it. Same Key/root as used in Aint No tellin, and even Crosstown Traffic, IMO.

[@gojoe36]

This riff is a backing track on YT...I love the riff

[@thorstenriedel3152]

This is insane, thank you

[@hotdotdog]

Bad-Ass is right Tim. That's old school "rhythm and groove".

[@Lefty_strat]

You can hear an alternate take without vocals on the West Coast Seattle Boy release his guitar just sounds so raw and powerful

[@johnnorth9355]

Brilliant, way beyond my guitar playing pay grade but explains beautifully how it's put together. Note to self - must practice more !

[@gitpa1]

Awesome that you were able to separate this track out. Thank you!!!

[@mikaellyssarides1092]

You're so-o-o friggin' co-o-o-l, Tim ! Superb video !

[@warrenleeson5498]

Mikael Lyssarides photo shows a little more about how the thought of you and Kara to have God bless her ģ wet5is Larryleeson larrydetty is all about kids and a x factor in my Hart I will wire you money send me exactly name on I'd and

[@warrenleeson5498]

[@warrenleeson5498]

Donna Martin s and all family members

[@mattbacon285]

I was like.... "hmmm I'll just watch like 5 seconds of this then do laundry..." 5 seconds in and my SG already plugged into my Marshall

[@sbadali1]

Tim ... you are one of my guitar heroes ... hands down! If you all haven't as of yet, give the album "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" a listen. So many phenomenal R&B grooves and gems from Jimi

[@johnroberts838]

Hi Tim, brilliant as always, thank you. At 0.30 did you then kick the Flanger on, that tone/effect you are getting is just awesome!!!

[@Derayes]

John Roberts think it is some rotary effect, not flanger.

[@realRonPetersen]

Thanks for admitting that Tim. Saved me thinking how to tell you in a nice way.

[@stephencomstock1625]

Cry of Love....one of the best bands most people never heard of...lol....Aubrey Freed, the guitarist...(also of Black Crows) is an awesome player. Thanks Tim

[@bobbys4327]

you da man Tim

[@northof50now]

Awesome Tim! That's looks like it could be fun :-)

[@billdowney1487]

This is not a lesson. It's a clinic. One of my fav Hendrix tunes.

[@RBolognese]

Sweet

[@russv380]

There was a maturity in Hendrix later recordings. You should cover 'Bleeding Heart' from War Heroes. A perfect solo and fills with some great rhythm guitar

[@waltdude]

Nice work Tim. May I suggest the rhythm of Watch Tower.

[@frownonline]

Steve Lukather plays an awesome rendition of this track. Tim's is cool too!

[@srnad88]

Mr. Lukather plays the shit out of this song, but alas not "god" himself.

[@stickpictures]

Used to cover this one back in HS. Not exactly how I played it, but yeah, ass kicking rhythm.

[@rickeyottogabbard3891]

NICE! My favorite version is @ the Isle of Wight

[@Stratomacaster]

0:27 Tonality wise... really put me in that Robin Trower space instead of Hendrix (probably just the univibe-sh sounding flange), but yeah ..they're both right there. Sounded amazing.

[@CorbCorbin]

The breakdown at 2:13 of the song is a favorite of mine.

[@Beefrodd]

I like that playing this through a couple of times, my muting technique already feels sharper.

[@TheRycooder]

WOW!!

[@monkeysmollock]

Tim's face at 0:38 is brilliant! Can't quite get the chord at 2:00 to sound right, what do people think the correct pattern is?

[@KKMcK1]

Yes! Totally agree! Best version is Isle of Wight! Kicks ass!!!

[@vicburke8479]

Perfect example of rythm/lead hybrid style,which you realyl need in a 3 piece

[@kentonkirkpatrick5225]

"Message of Love" is the one that keeps haunting me...

[@stickpictures]

You kinda mention it in passing but that open "E" is one of the glories of C# on guitar, especially the LOW E, because it's putting the sharp 9 in root. The "Hendrix chord" x 10.

[@lukeskywalk9773]

Hell Yeah!

[@mesfigas]

Thanks for the music mate

[@dckr25]

Hello Tim, very nice as usual thanks!! Do you have the backtrack for this? Thanks!

[@MrGuitarFera]

Uuuuuooooooouuu... destrooyyy mannn... super cool

[@robertvanhoy1642]

Oh yeah thank you Tim and another one would be Dolly Dagger

[@mh2media]

w00t!

[@onewiththings]

I think the answer to the title is what you played on that Rick Springfield album back in the 80's - "Me & Johnny"
