Carlos Blanco

Hi Thom, thanks for the Hendrix lesson. Would be great if you have the time or desire a song by him . Possibly Red House or Voodoo Chile tutorial? Not sure if your permitted to do backing tracks but anyways ! Thank you for the lesson. Best Wishes Carlos

Guitar Pilgrim

I see what I can do Carlos! I will definitely do more hendrix in the future, because I love his music so much!

Danny Preil

Hello Thomas. This was fun! Please do more Hendrix (soulful) chord embellishments if you can. I really love this stuff. Dank u! Danny

Guitar Pilgrim

thanks Danny, I will surely do more hendrix in the future!

Cole Townsend

Thanks Thom. Quick question, are you not anchoring your wrist/palm to the guitar at all? I’m trying to understand your picking technique.

Guitar Pilgrim

Hi Cole, it depends, when I'm playing a solo I ussually anchor the palm of my hand on the bottom strings, muting unwanted noise and my righthand is more relaxed which creates a better sound. With these chord embellishments however I do not anchor my palm and wrist, because i'm basically playing rhythm guitar.

Glenn Birtwistle

Hey dude, I just bought a strat just like that one. Is that an American 62 vintage? Do you know the year it was made ? I'm trying to work out mine without taking the neck off. My serial number is V183725. Cheers

Hi Thom,I was curious why what Hendrix plays makes it sound so melodious. When you were on the A major chord, you pull off to the B note, but B isn't part of the chord right?

Iam

Hi Thom. I signed up on Patreon for your content and I’m glad I did! Yes please more Hendrix/SRV/Fruciante rhythm chord embellishments would be fantastic. That style of playing is just so ear soothing. Lovely strat btw 😊👍

Hi Glenn! I wish it was, I bought it somewhere in 2010, the serial number is US10230188, it's an american strat, I love playing it!

That's correct. the b note isn't part of the A major chord, but it's a great a note (the 9th) to use as an embellisment same the F# (6th)

Iris Xinyang Li

Hi Tom, can I ask in which song did these chords appear? Sorry it's a silly question, I very new to all these....

Hi Iris, not a silly question at all. The embelishments in the video are a combination of things Jimi used to do very often. They appear in songs like little wing, bold as love

Nick Souter

Loved this lesson Thom. You’re an excellent teacher. I’d love to more of Jimi’s Style of playing ballads - Little Wing, Wind cries Mary, Castles made of Sand, Drifting and so on. Good luck with the site. You deserve to be inundated with subscribers. Cheers, Nick

Noam Sander

Hi. I really liked the Hendrix video on youtube and theJohn Mayer example you gave. 1. Can you do a video on the sound you get on that video? 2. please make a video on John Mayer, Thanks!

Hi Noam, I should do a video on john mayer, you're right! I will look into it! As for the sound, it's really simple: I use an app called guitar rig 5 , in it you'll find a preset called 'stevie's rhythm' (it's in the blues section) and that's basically the sound I used in the video! You should try it out, it's works pretty good!

Eransha

Awesome! More advanced Hendrix concepts plesae. Digging deep into the progressions you play on the YouTube video would be more than great. Thx!

Stephanie Vanderhaegen

Loving these Hendrix lessons!! Awesome :) I've been having lots of fun trying them out. Really enjoying your work, thanks :)

David Noland

I had just gotten back into Hendrix because of "Little Wing". That has driven me to turning off everything else while I study Jimi. This is the first time that I stumbled across Patreon and specifically this tutorial !! Wow!! The perfect amount of instruction given wonderful and to the point. I learned this riff in about 30mins... ok, its Sloppy now, but knowing WHAT I want to do is 75%, which I got just now (learning Little Wing got me started on the 'Jimi Style' and I truly Love it). Practice fills in the rest. Thank Thank You Sir Pilgrim.

Guitar Pilgrim

Thanks David, It's so much fun to play Jimi Hendrix, although it's impossible to play as good as he did! More hendrix is definitely coming, cheers!

Reggie Smith

Thanks Thom I appreciate the lesson!
