All hail @JustinHawkins , the guitar hero we never realised we needed 😎🤟

How's everyone getting on with this series so far? Let me know in the comments!

Great to revisit this absolute classic album - The Darkness may not have taken themselves seriously but they sure as he'll took their music seriously and DAMN those Hawkins boys can play! Enjoy 😉

So by now you've got all the Big 5 chord shapes and you're all ready to go on a few classic rock numbers including Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe" - join me in the next episode for possibly the most well-ised and popular chord sequence ever conceived!

Another from the "been playing this wrong for twenty years" file 😂 nice to get this down, it's a cool little lick and means I can finally do justice to this legendary solo!

Great lick friend, like master!!!

One last look at the gone too soon Canadian virtuoso - keep an eye out for the Licks Of The Legends style guide in a couple of weeks!

Check Brett Stine’s work on the subject. Cheers. 🤙🏻

I think Allan basically said that hearing any non altered / non inverted / non messed with major or dominant 7th chord "caused him pain".

This was a hard one! Hopefully you can all take a few concepts and ideas away to integrate into your own playing, even if you're not a fan of fusion!

Some absolutely blistering playing from #JeffHealey on this one.. lots to choose from for the Licks Of The Legends video next month! 😅

Beautiful playing

Beautiful palying

Just a couple of corections. There is a coil tap on the tone knob, and the fretboard is Black Walnut, not rosewood.

I think #JeffHealey is fast becoming my new guitar crush, can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to checking his stuff out! Better late than never I guess ;-)

Beautiful major lick! Thanks my friend, sounds great!

He was an awesome player and a good songwriter, Can’t wait to see what you do next

Not sure why TH-cam keeps letting these out early, but oh well! Bit of a palette cleanser this week as we head back into the blues with the late great #JeffHealey - another one who belongs in the "Gone Too Soon" file, sadly.. one hell of a player!

I hate to tell you this but you aren’t in tune. Also, do you know how to set your intonation?

Not to get too theoritical - but you can leave the two top notes completely open on a G chord. But generally the top E string is fingered at the 3rd fret.on an acoustic. If youre "Rockin it", then the bottom 3 notes/strings would suffice, especially with a BOSS Metal Zone 🙂

I'd suggest a starting speed of about 52 BPM, and then ramp up 5 BPM at each practice session, with an aim of 110-120 BPM. Which gets you into Punk tempo's

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED that T-Shirt :)

To be fair, you probably could get a Grammy from it, if Rhianna sampled it for her next tune :)

Let's add another chord! In this episode we'll tackle the A chord an wrap our fingers around another song!

Time to add that crucial third chord and take the leap to playing some ACTUAL SONGS! Hope you're all ready ;-)

Time to get our chords on! In this episode we'll learn the G & C chords along with some simple strumming patterns to get your rhythm chops up and running

OK, so now you know what's what on the guitar, let's get to business! First co-ordination exercises and a blues riff in this episode

Welcome newcomers! Let's start by explaining all the weird and wonderful terms we guitarists love using to make ourselves look clever ;-)

Must have let this one out early 🤣🤣 Let us bid farewell to Mr Holdsworth with this pretty nifty little intervallic idea... Must admit, this month has been quite the challenge! Keep an eye out for the Licks Of The Legends style guides in a couple of weeks time :-)

Check out the full lesson here: th-cam.com/video/IkhSV5s1VQE/w-d-xo.html

JM GUITAR< Try to make all the unusual chords hendrix used on the whole Axis bold album he used 6/9 chords and slash chords different root notes to make a lesson about

Got to admit, this month has been hard going! Still, managed to steal a couple of ideas - look forward to sharing them with everyone in the Style Guide in a few weeks! 🙂

It was a blast running through a bona fide piece of classic rock history, but I had definitely underestimated the sheer volume of music on this album! So Jimi will be returning to the blog in 2025 for the second half of the album, and I dare say a few Five Minute Solos along the way.... what did you think? Did you ejoy it?

as a friend of Albert, you did okay! He is So smooth and polished!

I guess I’ve been playing it wrong for the past 10 years also. I know how I’m spending my night now.

Damn I’m going to have to get that under my fingers now after playing it wrong all these years. Well I guess I know how I’m spending my night now. Thanks for the video

Nice to take a few minutes to finally sit down and get this right! #RandyRhoads will be getting his own #LicksOfTheLegends later this year, so stay tuned 🤟

Sweet 🍯

RIP John Mayall, thank you for all the amazing musicians you gave a break to. Hope you all enjoy this excerpt from the classic "Beano" album with Eric Clapton and be sure to hunt down some of the other Bluesbreakers albums - Cream, Fleetwood Mac and plenty others owe this man a debt! Enjoy, let me know in the comments what you did and didn't like and I'll see what I can do to make the next one better!

Buenísimo tu material, muy emocionante, saludos James!

Possible I might have bitten off more than I can chew here 🤣🤣 good luck everyone!

Cool

Wrapping up the #JimiHendrix licks for now with this little number, hope ypu enjoy it- keep an eye out for the Licks Of The Legends style guide video in the next couple of weeks 👍

I always wonder if the artist actually thinks up in these "bizarre rotation" of notes, and much of what we hear is just sloppy mistakes and notes invokde by such things by "moving your blues shirt sleeve out the way", or "reaching for a ciggie". Is it better to simplify the notation, and interpret the patterns to what you tihink the artist was triying to hint and aim for.

Nicely done mate! Well done on reaching 1k! 👍

Thank you so much to all who have subscribed and supported this channel over the years, hope you enjoy getting stuck into this and using it to amaze your friends! Back with more #jimihendrix next week ;-)

I like the lesson. If I were to suggest some things for future videos I would: -get a better mic. (Rhode GOs are a great choice and not too pricy) - change the thumbnail (srry but you look like a crazy person in that pic ) - And go more in depth /slower so we can all absorb the info better. Thanks !

Fully agree. So important for rhythmic work as well. I practice with my p90 SG 1968 with a 1 watt blackstar cranked up providing fabulous tone.

the first srv LP i bought was soul to soul,then i got live at the el mocambo video,the tone of No1 and those vibroverb`s or his dumble seemed otherworldly, you`ve captured his spirit nicely here, not an easy task !!😎thanks for posting

August 27 1990 was a dark day indeed, when we lost Stevie. He had soul! Thank you for helping keep his music alive.
