This guy is a wealth of knowledge AND an excellent teacher. Hard to find both.
@@celephais5748 yeahh…
Someone should do a movie just about Jimi Hendrix's childhood because that alone is an amazing story. A tragic one. Jimi's name was originally Johnny Allen Hendrix. It was changed to James Marshall when he was 4. His parents had 5 children. He was the eldest. When he was born his father was in the military and denied the ability to travel home to see his first child born. He was put int the stockade instead because he was caught going AWOL. He spent two months there without a trial and was given a telegram announcing the birth of his son. This was during World War 2. While he was gone for 3 years his wife, Lucille struggled with alcoholism and couldn't take care of Jimi so others in her family took care of him. She went missing. The first time Al, his father, saw Jimi was after he got out of the military. Jimi was 3 years old and being cared for by a family friend who wanted to adopt him.
Al reunited with Lucille but had difficulty finding work. They had no money and both he and Lucille were constantly drinking. When drunk they got into fights. Jimi would hide in a closet to get away from their fights. Leon, Jimi's brother, was born when he was 5 and they were close but rarely saw each other because Leon was in foster care a lot. He had one more brother and two more sisters whom he rarely if ever saw because they too were in foster care and then adopted. All the time, Jimi and his parents were going from one cheap hotel and motel to another. No real home to speak of at all. Sometimes relatives took him and he stayed with his grandmother. He was shy and sensitive and was sexually abused by a man in uniform at one point which he later recounted to a girlfriend. At nine his parents divorced and he and his brother Leon ended up in the custody of their father.
In elementary school he carried around a broom stick for a year pretending it was a guitar. The social worker at school recommended that they provide him with one because she thought if he didn't get one it might leave him psychologically damaged. They didn't and his father refused to buy him one. When he was 14 he found a ukulele in a garage he and his father were cleaning out for money. It had only one string on it. He learned to play by ear playing single notes. Two months after turning 15 his mother died of cirrhosis of the liver. Her spleen ruptured. "Al refused to take James and Leon to attend their mother's funeral; he instead gave them shots of whiskey and instructed them that was how men were supposed to deal with loss". In the middle of that year, 1958, when he bought his first guitar for 5 dollars. He played it several hours daily and learned to play from listening to songs and with tips from other guitarists. He didn't get his first electric guitar until he was 16 years old, His father finally bought it for him. During his first gig with an unnamed band he was fired in between sets because he was too showy.
PS: Jimi could play equally well right or left handed and when playing left handed he often had a right handed guitar which meant he played it upside down. Talk about mastering an instrument.
wpl he restringed the guitar though, so the high e was still at the top i think. I think jimis the best ever
Sad story for jimi- but he was a positive thinking guy learning to play guitar late yet came up too early to be the Earth’s indisputable 6- string emotive player! My first time to see him ( and the pioneers) was in the movie WOODSTOCK in a local ZAMBOANGA theatre way back in 1969. I was 14 at that time!!!!
wpl Interesting, yes there’s a movie in just that. The military background and implicit trauma via abuse and abandonment lines up a little with what Dave McGowan writes about in Weird Scenes From The Canyon. I think you’d enjoy it if you’re interested in deep background material of the rock artists of the 60s
@@wpl6661 Wow
Why are there even 3 thumbs down posted, this guy saved me 30 years of trial and error in 20 minutes. Only trouble is now everyone can mimic Jimi! Thanks Dude, I'll subscribe. Looks like I'll be staying in at night for awhile!!!
I don't mind thumbs down. Keeps me humble. Haha!
noone can mimic jimi Hendrix ... but you may get close!
rather than mimicking Jimi, they might create their own music and sounds using Hendrix influences
My take is the Thumbs Down are from either the innocently ignorant or from the purely envious.
Neither group needs any recognition but don't turn your back on the second.
I just realised that Mike is the Bob Ross of guitar teaching. So calm and happy. Brilliant!
That titles claimed deff not by mike
@@royalmarine1011 who then? if you say marty then you are wrong
This guy was born to teach guitar!
Jimi Hendrix is still the blueprint and Gold Standard almost 50 years after his death.
This video is one of those priceless TH-cam videos that teach you something valuable. Recommended for Guitarists of ALL levels who wish to play like Hendrix.
Very good. I play Guitar since 36 years, and so long i wish to play like Jimi Hendrix.
But to paint as Rembrandt would also be nice...but one after another.
I saw Jimi a couple of times when I was a teenager in California. One of the concerts I saw can be seen on TH-cam - San Jose Pop Festival May, 1969. You can check it out. The unique thing about Jimi was the speed and precision of his delivery and the surprising notes he would add on the spot. There was a genius to how he picked the perfect note on the fly.
Dude, you have one of the best personalities of any music teacher I've ever come across. Seriously, most of them are impatient horrible tyrants or passive hippie mice. You're quiet but concentrated in how you present material. Your calm and thorough technique breakdowns make iconic music seem approachable and relatable. Awesome work!
Probably the best lesson about hendrix characteristic playing in youtube, thanks...
I've watched a lot of Hendrix technique videos (and way too many pentatonic scales videos), and this is by far the best. Thanks for all the effort you put into explaining and demonstrating. Really awesome! I learned so much and my guitar playing is improving as a result.
Like most of your stuff, well presented and accurate!
But I gotta brag ... met Jimi outside the FE after Band of Gypsys 1/2/70. Aloha ...
best guitar teacher on youtube.vast knowledge on artists and techniques.great camera angles and clear concise instruction.this guys good.
One of the better `How to sound (play) like Hendrix` videos here, and there is a ton of them out there. Cheers!
I've been playing guitar 15 years and I'm always like :O !!! when I watch these videos. Especially this one seeing the lil nuances behind a Hendrix riff. I've never been so easily impressed for a long time LOL
Hey Joe solo follows the chord changes perfectly. Not just his phrasing! More sophisticated - theory-wise - than you would expect at first glance.
Plus ... Purple Haze intro and solo is entirely based on that one funky E7(#9) chord. All the notes in the solo sections are merely E7(#9) arpeggios (with only a smattering of E Pentatonic)! Once again, more sophisticated - theory-wise - upon closer examination.
I learned the Hey Joe solo almost 25 years ago and it still blows my mind the way Hendrix was able to outline the changes with just the pentatonic scale (basically).
Thanks for taking the time to make this AWESOME LESSON! 👍😍👍
Hi guy, this is the best Video iv'e ever seen about the guitartechnic of Jimi Hendrix. Greetings from Germany. Bert
Your amazing guitarist and very good teacher cheers bro !:)
Well done. Great tutorial. Your enthusiasm shone through. Hendrix was a great innovator, introducing so much to the vocabulary of the electric guitar. For me the highlight of your vid was your demonstration of playing without feeling versus playing with feeling. (The Purple Haze riff I think) That is something to aspire to, once you have a lick/riff or tune under your fingers. Beautifully illustrated. Keep up the good work.
Yes goodcomment
I know nothing about playing the guitar, but I can understand and appreciate these explanations.
Also a lot of the Trowers Playbook...heard Spellbound and Bridge of Sighs etc. Great lesson and presentation.
Your a good teacher ! It's really easy for me to understand what your saying and doing on the guitar . I struggle with most people's teaching because I have an attention deficit , but with you my guitar playing is becoming second nature . Thanks for teaching this old dog new tricks , I'm becoming more confident now , and believe me that's saying a lot because I was about ready to hang up the guitar ! Thanks again !!!
Most instructive demonstration of Hendrix techniques by far! Well done
Brilliant tutorial. Thanks.
Great analysis man! Thanks a lot!
that shows how much knowledge Hendrix had over his instrument, just amazing, He was some sort of Jedi fom the guitars
Great stuff thanks. I watched your Beatles one and then this, and it pretty much summarises most of the tricks I have worked out in 30 years of self-taught guitar playing. Never knew any words for it all, and still know no musical theory, scales, how chords are made, keys etc. etc, but these are all the little tricks I have used to write songs. Amazing. Thanks.
I've always called the E7#9 the 'Jimi', and there's also the 'Chuck', the 'Beatles last chord', the sliding bluesy chord', 'octaves', rockabilly discord, the bend it up etc etc...
You have encyclopedic knowledge.
How you can calmly dissect all these things is a gift.
I am spilling over with respect.
Stay happy , Sir !
Many thanks for giving so many great tips - and you're clearly a fine player yourself. Cheers!
The competition is over. That is the best video on TH-cam. Well done and thank you.
love these lessons!
I really love the Hendrix last works. He often used a particular bends techniques you can hear for example on the "Hey Baby" solos when he makes a bend on the B string, then go down on the G string. We can hear it exactly in the second minutes of the track.
Finally someone that has respect for the posthumous studio albums. Those are so great. That made his legacy more bitter sweet the year following his passing.
I ask all of you to please pray to whichever God you worship, for me to grow longer fingers and thumbs. Thanks!
As a devout Pastafarian, I'm deeeply offended, and I wish that you would keep your opinions to yourself. I have a close, personal relationship with the righteous Glob.

And now, Dustin3423,You've got a THUMB! (13.)
I pray to God for talent.... :-)
Dustin 3423 Get a smaller Guitar! There I said it, problem solved.
Great Hendrix tips vid - learned a lot ..
I love these videos so much. I've watched almost all of them. All of these artist technique videos have helped me tweak and bend my style. Thank you so much for them. I've must have watched this one a dozen times.
Is there anyway we can get more? Maybe some Chris Stapleton, Waylon Jennings, or Brad Paisely? Some country stuff to mix in with all of the rock? I love mixing blues, country, and rock. Thank you so much for all that you do!!! I've learned so much!
Absolutely incredible! Definitely inspires me to learn more Hendrix.
Been waiting for this. Thanks
Best Hendrix examples I/ve found.
Love it man
Excellent video. thanks for sharing
awesome video dude, i hope you have bucket head and synyster gates on that list too
Bucket head plays a lot of notes, Jimi played all the right ones
Dont get me wrong, Bucket head is amazing, but I dont think he belongs in the same conversation as Jimi
This is a fantastic lesson man. I appreciate you taking the time to do it. I love how you broke it down in the description too so you can jump around if you want. I'd love to see you do some similar videos with different guitarists. John frusciante, Gary Clark jr, Robin Trower or early Clapton would be my votes. thanks again brother. keep up the good work. - Much love from the Pacific Northwest -
holy shit I just saw you already did Frusciante. Love you even more now. -peace-
Great Video Man... I wish you were around before I took up drums in the 60's
Bill Gallagher goddamn, the 60s?
the best Hendrix lesson
Literally got inspired within 2 minutes of watching this. Well done.
you're an amazing guitarist but then to be an amazing teacher is the really great talent, thank you
Really great video, can't believe it's the first one of yours I've come across. Great teaching style and I really like how you actually speak the theory instead of just saying "now put your pinky on the first string, 7th fret." Subscribed after the first 10 mins.
Had high hopes for that video, wasn’t disappointed! Really love your way to teach and spark inspiration and love for the instrument!!
You are my fav teacher on youtube bro
Fantastic understanding of Music, and very clear and helpful. Leaving the bad notes for crude playing i particularly liked and killing the bend with the plectrum. cheers.
Best Hendrix class ever
this is some good stuff. I'll study it. Thank you!!
The nicest part is that he just played the guitar the way he wanted to.
Crude Playin got my like! Teachin soul...
I accidentally sent that comment without finishing LOL anyway thank you for being so patient in your teaching it is very therapeutic and much easier to follow than other teachers relaxing if you will and you are such a good musician and guitar player anyway thank you for doing what you do I will always watch you
I was born when he died 52 years ago and I'm still listening this guy who became a legend with a 4 years carrier.
Jimi played guitar like he was using a bow rather than plucking ... all the time. Seamless & smooth transitions note to note. Incredibly layered sound from just one set of hands and just one guitar. Burning Desire album really shows off his guitar chops for an extended period vs any of the others. Great vid Art ..
Dude I came to this 2 yrs late however your observation on the seamless sound to his lead solo notes it's small but discernable from a pluck. I only discovered it a few months ago listening to BAND OF GYPSYS. How does he get that affect with strings of multiple separate notes... could you comment further on that?
@@markr.devereux3385legato
This video finally came :) thank gawd
excellent video, esp. re: emotional aspects of the master.
thank you!
Excellent 'feel' -- I'm impressed brother
You know I've watched you for a while put out some really great stuff Prince's techniques and now Hendrix.. the more I watch you the more I realize for such a young guy (I'm probably twice as old as you) you are incredible student of all these great guitar players and I want to APPLAUD you!
YOU are one of the BEST freaking teachers on this entire TH-cam channel and you're probably barely 30!
I'm older than that. :)
@@TheArtofGuitar - Well, then you're not only a GREAT student of all these GREAT guitar players, but you have good genetics, too, haha!
When you make one of these videos on a specific guitarist, do you go out and listen to a bunch of their best songs to hear specific techniques that they repeat ?... OR do your choices of their techniques come from Years of listening to MANY of their songs?
Because either way you're obviously doing something that should be taught, as a SKILL, in and of ITSELF, and that is called "Critical Listening", something that ALL guitar players should DO! All guitars that want to emulate other players, or you know, even if they don't want to copy their songs, even if they just want to have some of the great techniques- if they like specific techniques of certain guitarists, they have to learn to LISTEN to their music with a Critical EAR, like YOU obviously DO! As a matter of FACT, you're one of the BEST at it, that I've EVER SEEN.....I only wish I had been listening to MY favorite guitarists, the way YOU obviously DO, all these years... I mean, when I listen to somebody I love, Jimmy Page or Randy Rhodes, Angus Young or even Peter Frampton, I RECOGNIZE their techniques, and unique phrasing, but I couldn't sit down and PLAY those ALL of those TECHNIQUES, JUST the way THEY DO, and YOU DO, for God's sake!...😁....Great Job, and thank you for what you do!... I'm sure you're creating MANY better guitarists, out there! 👍
that is one good sounding guitar bro
This was a Break through Video for me. Well done. Thank You buddy.
Incredible video bro🙏🙏
Fantastic!
More please......
I know i must say that this is the BEST inform guitar chanel i've ever known!
And your vibrato is awesome! Need a lesson about it! Greetings from Russia :)
Hello my Russian friend! Thanks.
This is amazing! A+ for effort great video.
Thank you for your articulate teaching👍 Appreciated. Nice tones and playing!
this video is great!! the little things that make such great difference!! thanks!
Excellent insights.
This has been great! thank you!
You're awesome. I really like this series of videos. Thanks a lot for the very educational videos!
This dude really inspires me.
Piecing something together out of the pentatonic, that sounds awesome, is my weakness. I can play most anything I watch you guys do, except "phrasing". Good stuff, thanks!
Nice lesson.
He figured all the legends techniques, well gifted too. Keep it up Dude 👍🏼🎸
Hi Mike! Thanks a lot for this great and detailed one...I was digging into Frusciante....which immediately lead me back to dig into Hendrix...though I had listened a lot to his stuff long ago, never was really into learning his techniques...
But they are so simple and creative, full of sound colour..But now I think it was the time...!!
Have a great New Year ! Thanks for all your great videos, and teachings!!
I'd like to suggest a video on Buckethead. That would be interesting to see. Great job on all of these by the way. They're super helpful.
Absolutely awesome. .thank you for sharing your video 👍🔥💙
Thanks duder! Always really good ur a pro! I thought it was a different take on what u might normally see with Hendrix tutorials. More alternative styles that he used sooo preach!! Long may ur vids continue sire.....
That's exactly how I learned to play the thumb bass chord is natural form me :) Thanks Jimi!
Loving these videos! Keep them coming! Can you do Santana?
thanks a ton for this. I'm learning so much so fast!
Great Lesson, that's the thumb trick that John Frusciante got from Hendrix.
What a great catalogue of most of his signature moves... filed in Hendrix Links for future reference.
Thanks AoG!
Any tips on the thumb though ... I do it fine but can only get it with the meaty flesh on the side "above" the knuckle, not straight over the way it should be like you do to dampen the 5th string (I use my ring finger but it's kinda hit or miss... not needed at the 5th btw since it's an A)?
And now I see you've done Stevie and Jimmy Page... there goes my Sunday... lol
thank you!
Awesome !!!! Very well done video... Thanks for sharing ....
great lesson thanks so much for posting and keep up the great work. Thumbs up and subbed your channel!
