------------------------------------------------------------
Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is a song that effectively changed my life. I vividly remember hearing the uniquely expressive wah-wah-laden intro riff for the first time and being absolutely blown away by the sounds that Jimi Hendrix was able to get out of his guitar.
I loved jamming along to the intro and spamming my memorised bank of minor pentatonic licks over Voodoo Child backing tracks online but the chord voicing's that Hendrix played in the songs chorus always threw me for a loop, resulting in me just skipping playing that part altogether...
However, now that I'm a lot more developed as a musician (after 16 years you would hope that I am...) I'm able to explain to you precisely what these chord voicings are and how you can use them in your own playing.

When you consider how effortless the original sounds and that it’s fifty years old and still sounds just great and amazingly powerful and that jimi wasn’t copying someone on KZbin But blowing people away with a radical new guitar sound, he’s as relevant today as he was in 67.

@@remy-theorangeskyslasher6184 The sustained bend at 0:33 , according to the Recorded Guitar Versions by Hal Leonard, Hendrix turned on his wah for the added treble and flicked his Fender Strat's pickup selector back and forth for that type of sound. Many other KZbinrs/players move their wah back and forth or turn a boosting type of pedal on and off repeatedly to have that pickup selecting or switching effect. Hendrix switched his pickups and turned his wah on for that part. Thus, that is the right way to play that part, in my opinion.

It’s a blues turnaround. If you listen to old acoustic Delta blues players like Robert Johnson and Skip James (check out “Devil Got My Woman” for example), you hear this kind of thing all the time. Also, small nitpick, but I’m pretty sure he used the bridge pickup on this, with a fuzz pedal and a wah wah. Through a 100W Marshall amp and a 4x12 cabinet.

Until he went on TV, on the David Frost show with "Hey Joe". He didn't play "Hey Joe", they were playing "Stone Free" live and they didn't stop and it was a live show. He was playing away like a bastard, man and they wouldn't stop. You could see David Frost saying "well that was Jimi Hendrix ........" and still he was playing away. It was great.

Technically because jimmy only plays intervals here we would look to what notes the bass is playing to determine the chord. If you look at the bassline for this part the bass plays E over the D-B interval which implies the Emin7 chord then descends onto the D and down to the low B and although there is still only an interval with B being played as an octave this implies to me more of a Bm/D sound. The next interval of C#-A has the bass playing a D note to start with which implies Dmaj7 chord it then plays Eb implying an Eb half diminished it then hits the E which gives us our Amaj/C#. Although i dont think they were thinking about these kind of things when they wrote it. 🤔

Actually those two chords are not G (second inversion) and A ( first inversion). I understand why you think this but in context these chords really are E dom 7 (7 in bass) and A over E. Those same notes are in G and A chords but this is really part of the blues walking pattern. This is because the bass nite stays E during these chords

Great job! But just let's not forget that all the matter is over a E bass, so everything assumes an entire kind of modal meaning. More meaningful is the fact that this song is exactly a 12 bar blues(except the refrain C7;D7)and that "G7" in 2nd inversion is quite a substitution of the chord in the 9th bar(in this case B 😱), in fact, the following(guess what?)is A.

nice generally but inversions ONLY define the lowest (bass) note of a chord. the "voicing" of the notes above that bass note can be in any arrangement. both a 3rd, root, 5th and a 3rd, 5th, root voicing are 1st inversion chords because of the 3rd in the bass. AND for the fun of it, the two chords you so sweetly hear rightly can be referred to as dyads because Jimi does only play two notes (dyads = 2 note, triad = 3 notes). good old country twang 6ths on acid.

If this song is in Eminor, why is he playing an Amaj chord? Is that dorian?

Ross, you’re a great guitarist, much better than me, but I consider myself a bit of a Hendrix purist and have to comment on a couple of things. First, I’m not sure why many guitarists want to use the pickup selector to modulate the tone on that bend on the G string 2nd fret, but in every live video I’ve seen of Hendrix, he just uses the wah pedal on that bend. I’m sure he’s done that quick switching with the pickup selector somewhere for a cool effect, but it’s not on that bend. But more importantly, while I get that the notes D and B are part of a G major triad, there’s no way Hendrix is playing a G chord there (“…pick up all the pieces and make an island…”). Those notes are also part of an E7 chord, and I’m darn sure Hendrix is not playing a G on the low E string with his thumb as you do here. Jimi’s bassists also never play a G at that spot; Billy Cox plays a D, then goes to C# when Jimi plays the A chord fragment, and as far as I can hear, Noel Redding just kept droning on E while Jimi played the D and B notes. Sorry for the rant, I really love your playing and your vids, but had to comment on this!

Hey man, thanks for the kind words! Those notes are part of an E7 chord but I don't hear them that way at all when listening to the song. I'm not actually playing a G with my thumb, it's just where it's resting that makes it look like it. As for the bass notes - it's common for bass players to play 3rd's and 5th's in place of root notes. Keys players will also sometimes play voicings that have those notes in the bass. So in this case I'd look at that as Billy Cox playing the 5th of the G chord and then moving down a semitone to the C# functioning as the 3rd of the A chord. As for the pickup selector thing, that sounds like what he's doing on the original recording but there's no way of knowing for sure 🤷‍♂️

ROSS CAMPBELL, those are called DIADS, not triads. SRV uses those DIADS inversions check out his live concerts to make a video on SRV Diad inversions. Randy Rhoads used DIADS inversions licks often sticking them between chords listen to a lot of live concerts with randy rhoads to get those Diad inversion licks he uses to make a video lesson on.

You play very well and the sound is great. I think what you explain is well explained and is basic and interesting theory. But in this particular case, in these chords, (diads to be precise) I think it's not the best way to understand how the music goes. You say notes D and B are inversion of G major chord, omitting precisely the root...that's awkward. Obviously those two diads produce a sense of descending progression. So I think it is simpler and better to interpret these two chords (diads in fact) as B minor and A major, only the third and the root in each one (fifth omitted). So you have D and B (B minor inversion), and C# and A (A major inversion) . See the bass line that goes along: it is D and C#, descending, these D and C# are the thirds of Bm and A. It is the blues feeling you get, of going from Vm to IV. This way you have the classic progression in blues : V, IV, I. In this case V minor. And remember the guitar should be tuned down a semitone, in D#. In AC/DC "Rock'n'roll ain't noise pollution" you have the same diads (not in inversion)

Hmm, as much as I like you explaining everything from scratch. All I needed was a single phrase from 8 mins in the video lol. Plus for demonstration purposes I think it would be much better to show your examples and everything in standard tuning, I don't want to detune my guitar for one quick video to quickly hear what it sounds like. I would recommend doing the explaining in standard and then after saying, here is what it actually should sound like in the tuning Hendrix played it

Trochę to głupie uczyć kogoś piosenki na obniżonym stroju gitary. Co z tego, ze Jimmy tak grał? Ja mam przestrajać gitarę dla tego kawałka? Żałosne. It's kind of silly to teach someone a song on a lowered guitar pitch. So what if Jimmy played it like that? I have to tune my guitar for that song? It's pathetic.
