Been playing guitar since I was 13 (I’m 39 now), took pro lessons when I was 18, currently gig as a hired gun for cover bands and worship for churches in the Baltimore/DC area and this dude blew my mind with this exercise
Wow as a beginner (at 59 ) this gives me something to practice,think about,work on ..since my kids are grown I get home from work and set in my room and practice and play different things from John Denver to Black Sabbath (acoustic and electric)..Thanks 🤔🎸
After this lesson, now I'm looking at a diagram of Eminor penta fretboard, taking it two strings at a time, and finding the simple patterns down the twelve frets. Your lessons really open guitar up, takes blinders away, and knocks down what felt like walls. Tytyty. 🎸🤘
I watch tons of guitar vids and stumbled onto yours,,,,wow, just wow, I can't believe how much I've learned in just a few of yours, its opened so many doors in my playing, thank you.
@@GuitarLessonsVancouver I am buying an upper level aniversary Squire because it has a concave neck, jumbo frets and it plays better than my American strat or my mexican strat and the luther at the music store has it set up already!! Thanks for the tune up brother!!!
@@bartmason9916 You can start on any guitar. Save a few pennies a day, and it won't take long. 55 pennies a day, and get a guitar at the end of the year. Where there is a will there is a way
Ah!!!! At last i have found someone i can understand. pure class thankyou so much Blu. you are much appreciated. Im an old guy who has taken up guitar in my 6os and boy im so glad you decided to go on youtube. i signed up to patreon .
This came out at just the right time for me. I'd been playing with these Hendrixisms for a couple of months and you've given me the glue I needed to put it all together. I'm a CAGED system user so I'm having to translate it a little but I'm enjoying the lesson. Many thanks.
AWESOME! I've been toying around with these "Hendrix" double stops with only moderate success. This made it so simple. In under 10 minutes I learned what had taken years. THANK YOU .. Subscribed
Thank you! Indeed I was in another band that used to play that song all the time. So fun to play and sing that one. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Fantastic stuff which opens pages for none-notes following guitar players for understanding, what it is really playing. Go ahead, good lessons well explained. 🎶👍 Greetings from Germany's North Sea coast
Thank you! Glad it helped. Lots more lessons coming here, almost every Saturday, and hundreds more on our Patreon group: www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
I'm really enjoying this video and while I'm not solely a rock player .. there is always room for new knowledge with music ! :) I can use this to visualise playing up and down the fretboard with pentatonics ! Your tone and feel are really fantastic 😊
I love doing that on bass dude, that’s a old school 90s rnb move on bass stolen from the guitar.. you are absolutely right, it’s so easy but when I do it I look up and everyone’s looking at me in the band making those faces to each other. People love it dude!
Inspiring channel dude (and nice Blue Rodeo shirt... proud Canadian lol). I'm just starting my youtube adventure (I've been teaching most of my life)... it's amazing to see where this can lead!
You are very, very good at this and your graphics that show the shapes are perfect. Shape 4 is my go to. Sure you have the basic shape and extension but shape 4 makes it look and sound really cool. Keep 'em coming, you are really good at teaching.
Probably my favourite use of this technique is from Jimmy's solo in 10 Years Gone. Also Lights solo by Neal Schon and of course songs like Castles Made of Sand and Little Wing. Well explained!
Hell yes Blue! Really enjoy your lessons and enthusiasm. When I have the time to devote I will try out your Patreon. Can't manage now but it's on my list. Thanks
Great lesson, Very Curtis Mayfield-ish who was a big influence on Jimi Hendrix. I first took notice and loved this style of playing when I was learning to play Little Wing, especially the intro!
Midnight when I saw notification and sleepily clicked on and Lo and behold! I'm now wide awake in lounge, guitar tuned but not plugged in for obvious reasons, and trying this exercise. Really piqued my interest. Profoundly grateful, donation imminent.
I'm going to play a C chord only jam track and play all possible "Double stop - hammer on" in all 5 pentetonic shapes, within th key of C major, and do it for 5 minutes a day from today on untill it's second nature. I'll be giving the free trail a try. Thanks
I stumbled across a similar idea when working out Floyd Cramer's "Last Date". In that case, he's playing (for piano players) a hammer-on double stop with the top note above the melody. This is a great way of getting "high harmony" as with barbershop quartet harmony. I understand that it works well with the pentatonic scale, a common building block for guitar players, but it should be seen in its greater scope as well.
Floyd Cramer is an interesting example. He is famous for that piano move, similar to a hammer on for guitar. I hadn't thought of that similarity before. Thanks for mentioning it!
Thank you! We certainly love Jimi's music here. Lots more lessons like this on the channel and our Patreon group www.patreon.com/guitarlessonsvancouver
The link to the chord shapes is where it gets really interesting. At that point the pentatonics and CAGED really show their value. Really like that run down from C G F using pattern 4 then hitting the C triad in pattern 1. Niticed that you also have the same hammer on option from P4 in P2
So funny you mentioned it sounding like The Weight, as soon as you started the lesson and played them i thought "wow this sounds very The Band-y". Great lesson!
this was great. helped me. inspirational, enlightening, fun twist. perhaps its already out there, but this is where I found it. your presentation style is delightful for me. somewhat fast, but the pause button is magic. lots of material and concepts all at once. a valuable resource to review as I integrate this fluidity. i am grateful you did this. thank you. i dont often subscribe to channels, Im more fluid than wanting the same often, but in your case I succumbed. Newbie on yur list. looking forward to reviewing this and contemplating...then more. really want to know if the relic job on your guitar is from real years, or cosmetically applied. not being judgemental, just curious. re 9:11
Glad you liked it! Thanks for subscribing! That guitar is on loan to me. It's made by a local Vancouver builder. Most of his guitars have relic stlying designed by him.
Thank you! Indeed, triads are so useful too. I have a couple videos on triads you may have seen. This one is not long ago: th-cam.com/video/o6292SsJSZk/w-d-xo.html
This guy is unreal, I have been learning comfy numb solo note for note and completed it and also gravity live in LA version note for note but I have no clue how to actually sit down and just strum and play lead with no songs in the background, weird I guess. Now I understand so much more so tonight I go and play on my own with no backin track and learn my keys and scales. I think will see myself as a much better guitarist by 6 weeks from today. He is so easy to understand. That’s the real key.
Unrelated, but what will make you a top level musician....sit next to the radio on a classic rock/indie etc station (a station that actually plays guitar music) and play along to each song by ear...intermediate/advanced guitarist should have most songs nailed by the end of each the song. Do this for a good session and you will pick up so much musically.
Nice lesson. I really enjoyed this one. Where can I find it on your Patreon page? I wasn't sure what the title of the lesson was on Patreon. Thank you.
Great lesson......and the Hendrix one......just discovered you.....and now subscribed.....and what a guitar sound!.....What strat,what pickups,what amp?
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! That Strat is a custom made one by a friend here in Vancouver. Amp is a Fender Deluxe Reverb, but actually the UA Dream 65 Pedal, plus a little tape delay and compression after recording. New lessons here almost every Saturday :)
