This video should be renamed to "You're never going to ever even have the guitar talent of Jimi Hendrix' left testicle, but here's a thing you could do that will make you feel good about yourself."
dude thank you, this unlocked something for me, I was never really sure how to apply scales to a progression so I just defaulted to the key and played that scale in various positions, didn't occur to me you could essentially transpose it as you do the progression, such a classic Hendrix move too.
Brilliant! I haven't played much Hendrix since I was in my twenties (about 25 years ago), but I can't believe I never caught onto this method back then. Very helpful to getting his vibe right, and great for playing other stuff too. Thanks Rob!
When intermediate guitarists want to know where to move forward to; this is a good solid insight to what an intermediate needs to understand. If you don't get it (you don't need to be able to do it just get it and start practicing) then you need to work on all the bits that will enable you to get it. The chord/key relationships, the scales in positions etc. Good little vid
I travelled a long road till I found this trick. Thank you sir so much for your help. Now I am a lot closer to the Jimi Hendrix playing style. Keep rocking. 🤟
You exactly hit the spot, but one thing seems always to be that main issue, there will be another tutorial that also hits another exact Jimmi spot!! But however, you all are very awesome and know how to fire up our guitars loving hearts!!! Thank you for this feeling. 🤩👌👌🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Chappers, you just made the best damn "How to Play Like Hendrix" video on the entire internet. I've seen them all, and you've definitely done it the best. Thank you!
Perfect explanation to get the "Hendrix" sound. I was taught how to do this by my brother--when I was learning how to play guitar--and the technique has followed me in all of my playing. And, once you have this down, you can make a pretty easy jump into modal Jazz playing, as well.
I've been playing Hendrix songs for some time, yet I've never seen so approachable lesson of his style. You're definitely better than me Rob. I rarely click on subs but I definitely need some of your knowledge to improve my playing. Thanks for everything. All best to you.
Thank you chappers for such a killer lesson. These are the kind of lessons that hacks like me love. To the point and theory to back it up. Thank very much, hope to see this kinda stuff on your lesson channel.
Many thanks to you Mr Chappers , a lot of people who really appreciate you sharing the knowledge. You're also a wonderful guitarist. Sincerely, a huge Jimi fan.
I think it's so strange that this is the 2nd Hendrix lesson in a week where there's no talking about using your left hand thumb to fret low notes in the chords? But maybe it's just me? All the stuff is fine, but it seems so weird to leave that out.
Not so much actually: For example if you play a major chord in the E form with your thumb on the lowest string and your first three fingers on the D G and B string, you'll have your pinky free to move and perform things like hammer on-pull of on the 4th or the 7th of that chord which is something that Jimi did a lot
+Poisonapplefarm yes I agree 100% for anyone reading this!!! Dave Simpson has a great 4 part series about playing like Jimi on his channel.. He also has a John frusciante series which is almost another Jimi series as they both play very similarly. Enjoy
This is interesting, as the other day I was noodling in the blues pentatonic as everyone does and variations there of and while listening to Stevie Ray I discovered the the blues major scale, it was most exciting haha
Something not mentioned and important about Jimi's playing is attitude; you've got to have a carefree attitude and mindset in order to play like Hendrix and play groovy.
Do a series of Style Files. Suggestions: 1. Slash 2. John Frusciante 3. Joe Satriani 4. Zakk Wylde (we'd love to see that) 5. Kirk Hammett 6. Jimmy Page
hi rob I been playing probably just as long as you, but I still enjoy seeing other guitar players technics an approaches to different styles an songs. great video man, you could make them longer too an I'd still watch him the whole thing..jus sayin again great video man ..cheers
Excellent video Rob. I always try to absorb anything anyone does in attempt to explain Jimi's style. It interest me the most and I have the most fun learning to play it. It was neat to see you play it too... Not something we get to see often. By the way... Cherry or Tobacco burst Ghost Fret, chrome bits, covered pups, black headstock.... I'm not going away! I don't have a Chapman guitar yet. I'm waiting for my cherry burst Ghost Fret before buying one.
Thanks for the lesson Rob. Hendrix was a genius. I always wonder how he came up with all that stuff. What inspired him and how he figured it out...amazing!
Loving all these videos Rob! Keep 'em comin'. Btw, although I guarantee I didn't win; when will you announce the winner for the riff contest? I know it's been asked a million times, but I need to know!
So if I’m hearing this right, (assuming standard tuning) use your 7 note scale for E maj: E/F#/G#/A/B/C#/D# and for the minor chords play blues minor pentatonic position 1 and for the major chords play blues major pentatonic position 1? Always position 1? So if strumming a 1-5-6-4 (bar chords on 6th string) embellish by playing maj blues scale on all but the C#? For C# use the minor scale? tip for newbies like me: frets open/2/4/5/7/9/11 to get scale for that string. works on any string. Great for bar chords on 5th and 6th string
In a previous `Jimi` video you did, you showed a simple sorta thing Jimi did where ,say you played a bend on the B string, up to the same note on the E string, then next, just do that same bend thing only one fret lower on the B and E strings. So simple its stupid easy, but starts to get you into that Jimi feel right off the bat.
Thanks for this. I'm a great admirer of Jimi (I am that old) and have been faffing around for the umpteenth time in learning to play. This time I'm faffing around with scales including Major, Minor and Blues plus the Pentatomic. I'm rubbish but at least I'm beginning to use a Structure to appreciate what all those frets are for on the guitarneck. ;-) This really helped me although some things you said went over my Head at this time. Hopefully as I inch forward, I'll come back to this and hopefully appreciate more fully then. Cheers again.
Thats like 1 4 and 5 are major and 2 3 and 6 are minor 7 are seventh chord. quite easy to understand, but hard to implement (at least for me). Rob can u make a video about tricks u use while u are soloing, like pulloff hammeron double stops etc?
rob, your left hand is positioned in a total non-jimi way.. I think a big part of getting the feel of Jimi's playing is gripping the whole neck with your hand - the thumb resting over the top of the fingerboard, or sometimes even holding down the 6th string, rather than having the thumb on the middle of the neck like you had it in the video.
Seems like double-stops are a big part of the Jimi style. That was true of early Clapton, too, I think. I'd be interested to see a comparison video of Jimi's use of double-stops with Clapton's. Thanks bro!

its really bothering me how those 2 guitars on the settee are stacked
TOC!
that's how guitars are made.
@@millioncatman2995 U mean ukeleles?
Rob make this a common series. Make it a different famous guitarist each time.
yeah mate
And George Harrison or Jimmy Page sometime.
000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000-000
A really interesting choice for the series (if it actually continues) would be Allan Holdsworth.
noreaction That's Rob Chapman in the video.
This video should be renamed to "You're never going to ever even have the guitar talent of Jimi Hendrix' left testicle, but here's a thing you could do that will make you feel good about yourself."
Lol
You have a crush on Marina Joyce.
Matthew Smith Quilty as charged.
You dutch oven'd Marina Joyce? Respect!
Matt Eady Then gave her a steaming, rich Boston Pancake.
Every video like this should now be called "style file" that's so sick
Thanks Rob. That was a helpful lesson. Straight to the point, no wasted space, and made it easy to understand. Your a good teacher.
These are my favorite lessons. These will get you closer to sounding like Jimi more than buying a specific piece of gear.
dude thank you, this unlocked something for me, I was never really sure how to apply scales to a progression so I just defaulted to the key and played that scale in various positions, didn't occur to me you could essentially transpose it as you do the progression, such a classic Hendrix move too.

ah mate the way those two guitars are lying against each other on the couch is stressing me out man

I travelled a long road till I found this trick. Thank you sir so much for your help. Now I am a lot closer to the Jimi Hendrix playing style. Keep rocking. 🤟
My mouth moves around similar to how yours does. You broke his style down in such a simple manner. Pretty awesome.
Oh this takes me back! Hendrix was my hero when I first started playing and my guitar teacher taught me this.
You exactly hit the spot, but one thing seems always to be that main issue, there will be another tutorial that also hits another exact Jimmi spot!!
But however, you all are very awesome and know how to fire up our guitars loving hearts!!! Thank you for this feeling. 🤩👌👌🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A genius in helping people who can never understand theory. Thank you
Chappers, you just made the best damn "How to Play Like Hendrix" video on the entire internet. I've seen them all, and you've definitely done it the best. Thank you!
I could watch these Jimi videos all damn day. Thanks rob
These 'play in the style of...' videos are great! I'm loving it! Thank you! I'd be really keen for more of these!
Perfect explanation to get the "Hendrix" sound. I was taught how to do this by my brother--when I was learning how to play guitar--and the technique has followed me in all of my playing. And, once you have this down, you can make a pretty easy jump into modal Jazz playing, as well.
You seem like a humble guy! Thanks for the video man! Going to check out every Hendrix vid from here on now.
I think I learned more from this video without picking up a guitar than many others that I picked apart and ran into the ground...cheers!
I've heard people explain that before and it never made sense until I watched this video. Thanks
Thanks Rob. This lesson is very helpful and connects a few more pieces of the fretboard together for me.
I've been playing Hendrix songs for some time, yet I've never seen so approachable lesson of his style. You're definitely better than me Rob. I rarely click on subs but I definitely need some of your knowledge to improve my playing. Thanks for everything. All best to you.
Really informative. 5 minutes of knowledge = hours of playing something new. Thanks
Thank you chappers for such a killer lesson. These are the kind of lessons that hacks like me love. To the point and theory to back it up. Thank very much, hope to see this kinda stuff on your lesson channel.
It took 25 years, but now I’ve got it! Thanks!
John Mayer and Hendrix are becoming big influences of mine at the moment, really needed a lesson like this! Thanks Rob
A guy named Dave Simpson has a great Jimi lesson here on youtube.
Or a couple actually
Many thanks to you Mr Chappers , a lot of people who really appreciate you sharing the knowledge. You're also a wonderful guitarist. Sincerely, a huge Jimi fan.
This is a real eye opener. Thanks Chappers!
I think it's so strange that this is the 2nd Hendrix lesson in a week where there's no talking about using your left hand thumb to fret low notes in the chords?
But maybe it's just me?
All the stuff is fine, but it seems so weird to leave that out.
I think that is more of a play preference than something that actually influences his sound.
Not so much actually:
For example if you play a major chord in the E form with your thumb on the lowest string and your first three fingers on the D G and B string, you'll have your pinky free to move and perform things like hammer on-pull of on the 4th or the 7th of that chord which is something that Jimi did a lot
check out Dave Simpson then. he talks about the thumb.
+Poisonapplefarm yes I agree 100% for anyone reading this!!! Dave Simpson has a great 4 part series about playing like Jimi on his channel.. He also has a John frusciante series which is almost another Jimi series as they both play very similarly. Enjoy
If you can do that, it's great. But not everyone has Jimi sized hands, lol
Listen you don't understand... those two guitars are mating. This is how guitars are made.
Didn't yet see it this well simplified - thank you!
This is interesting, as the other day I was noodling in the blues
pentatonic as everyone does and variations there of and while listening
to Stevie Ray I discovered the the blues major scale, it was most exciting haha
absolutely loving the daily stuff. cheers!
The best lesson you've done to date, Rob! Super effective, I'll be sure to use this soon! Thank you, Rob.
Something not mentioned and important about Jimi's playing is attitude; you've got to have a carefree attitude and mindset in order to play like Hendrix and play groovy.
Very cleanly explained, Rob - thanks!
Simple yet effective, Thanks Rob
Love your daily videos, Chappers. Keep it up!
its amazing to see you teaching again
Good Job Rob, it's really helpful but would you please please please, do a video on how to play in the style of Slash. Thank you.
Do a series of Style Files. Suggestions:
1. Slash
2. John Frusciante
3. Joe Satriani
4. Zakk Wylde (we'd love to see that)
5. Kirk Hammett
6. Jimmy Page
Brian may also
This has inspired me to go back to my rudiments, many thanks!
Loving all this recent juicy content! Cheers dude!
Awesome video, Rob. I never noticed Jimi's technique before, but I guess you learn something new every day.
Great lesson Rob, I see this as a way out of my pentatonic "one key" approach 👍🏻
This is one handsome video, can't wait to work this out properly and getting playing
I am so close to tackling this, few more weeks and getting the scales right and I think I can finally take off.
hi rob I been playing probably just as long as you, but I still enjoy seeing other guitar players technics an approaches to different styles an songs. great video man, you could make them longer too an I'd still watch him the whole thing..jus sayin again great video man ..cheers
I don't even own a guitar
Get one then
I play bass
Go get one then even faster
:(
+Sassy Beaver bass is a guitar
Excellent video Rob. I always try to absorb anything anyone does in attempt to explain Jimi's style. It interest me the most and I have the most fun learning to play it. It was neat to see you play it too... Not something we get to see often. By the way...
Cherry or Tobacco burst Ghost Fret, chrome bits, covered pups, black headstock.... I'm not going away!
I don't have a Chapman guitar yet. I'm waiting for my cherry burst Ghost Fret before buying one.
this helped out a lot! thank you!
Thanks for the lesson Rob. Hendrix was a genius. I always wonder how he came up with all that stuff. What inspired him and how he figured it out...amazing!
Loving all these videos Rob! Keep 'em comin'. Btw, although I guarantee I didn't win; when will you announce the winner for the riff contest? I know it's been asked a million times, but I need to know!
He was the legend no question.
The flavor of Jimi.
Great flavor.
"...the flavour of Jimmy" . Gold!
"How to play like Hendrix" and comes with an axe with humbuckers
Jimi played a Strat you moron, witch is single coil and has more tones then you'll ever get out of a humbucker.
badmotorcycle nice spelling
Kovaka1
Excuse me pal but not everyone is a Strat guy... Also Chappers has this guitar on single coil mode.
He tried switching to Gibson later in his life
Jimi played with humbuckers a log
Thanks a lot! that just opened up many doors for me.
Keep it up Rob. Love you easy nature and talented playing
what a fantastic lesson! thanks rob that was extremely helpful. legend.
So if I’m hearing this right, (assuming standard tuning) use your 7 note scale for E maj: E/F#/G#/A/B/C#/D# and for the minor chords play blues minor pentatonic position 1 and for the major chords play blues major pentatonic position 1?

For C# use the minor scale? tip for newbies like me: frets open/2/4/5/7/9/11 to get scale for that string. works on any string. Great for bar chords on 5th and 6th string
Excellent lesson faved for an after work practice later on
Well done man, help a blue collar guitarist feel four big bills in four common notes, well done.
Thank you for this. Well done, sir.
Thanks, interesting for a beginner like me! Keep em coming.
As a monster Jimi fan.......that was a great lesson.......thanks man.......take it easy.
In a previous `Jimi` video you did, you showed a simple sorta thing Jimi did where ,say you played a bend on the B string, up to the same note on the E string, then next, just do that same bend thing only one fret lower on the B and E strings. So simple its stupid easy, but starts to get you into that Jimi feel right off the bat.
That was cool. A different way of thinking about it. Cheers
Amazing, an eye opener. Thank you!

Best hendrix lesson on youtube (y)
Imagine jimi playing a ghost fret. 😂🤔
Left handed so the headstock would still be upside down.
Imagine Jimi's ghost turning in his grave!
Yes, he'd get a lefty model with the headstock still upside down instead of a righty turned upside down, but I think a lefty Cap10 is more his style.
+David Ozab he played a Flying V so why not?
Or don't imagine that ever
Thanks, Rob! This really helped
very cool gonna learn this and add my own twist to it
Dude you're the best man. I love your vids
fantastic lesson, Rob!
I like that guitar, Strato body with the Telecaster Head.. awesome..👍
Thats like 1 4 and 5 are major and 2 3 and 6 are minor 7 are seventh chord. quite easy to understand, but hard to implement (at least for me). Rob can u make a video about tricks u use while u are soloing, like pulloff hammeron double stops etc?
I couldn’t stop looking at the stacked guitars in the background 😕 but then he started playing and all was forgotten 😁
ROOOBBERRRTTT!!!
Rest easy Tom Searle. He inspired myself and many others to play guitar. Fuck cancer.
rob, your left hand is positioned in a total non-jimi way.. I think a big part of getting the feel of Jimi's playing is gripping the whole neck with your hand - the thumb resting over the top of the fingerboard, or sometimes even holding down the 6th string, rather than having the thumb on the middle of the neck like you had it in the video.
Awesome Rob. Does sound like Jimmy.
Love that headstock.
been loving your videos recently chappers thank you, how's dorje's album going?
This really helps! Thanks man!
Even his "basics" are advanced. Jimi rocked.
dang. havent picked up a guitar in years. This makes me want to go out and get one
That was extremely helpful. Cheers!
Awesome! A very useful lesson! Thanks!
Love the orange crush!
Seems like double-stops are a big part of the Jimi style. That was true of early Clapton, too, I think. I'd be interested to see a comparison video of Jimi's use of double-stops with Clapton's. Thanks bro!
That's probably the best way I've heard Jimmie's style explanation in common terms LOL
this is great, thanks Rob
Hi Rob, thanks for another awesome video, do you know when you'll announce the winner for the rig/riff competition?
great lesson! there are people out there spending LOTS more time (and asking for a lot of you money) who don't explain Jimi this well.
Man, you're just an amazing musician! I hope I will be as good as you some day.
Thanks Rob!
