Brilliant lesson, 'a chord is a solo and a solo is a chord'. It just suddenly all clicked together in my head. Perfect for moving around those chord inversions. Loving your TH-cam channel and music choice. Thanks
+Curtis Thanks so much, Curtis! Yeah, tone is everything to me. I'd always rather listen to a simple guitar part with elegant, luscious tone instead of a million notes with thin, raspy tone.
True! I remember how I got mesmerized in my teens by the guitar lines in Gin Soaked Boy by Tom Waits, and a friend of mine, who is an accomplished guitar player, complained about it saying it was too simple...
Stealth education. You put students in a trance with your mellow demeanor... by the time you snap out of the entertaining lecture you're unwittingly smarter than you when you started watching. Sneaky sneaky
I have been taking lessons for just over a year. And I learned much about guitar. However I am learning more from your lessons. Please keep uploading so I can learn. I love the way you play and love your melodic sensibility. This one was a cool lesson!
I love this kind of lesson! Helps with understanding how chords and scales come together to make music, rather than just learning to recite a piece. Great video!
Thanks so much man! My whole thing is about taking little pieces of my favorite players, and seeing what happens when I apply those ideas to new backgrounds - it's fun, and creative!
Funny, I've been playing Hendrix type rhythm guitar for years: I learned it by copying Bold As Love. But I never thought about what I was doing before seeing your video. Thanks!
Hey Eric. You make it look easy but that kind of hybrid chord and solo playing takes years and years of experience and hard work. Thank you for sharing.
That tone..... So sweet. I'm not one of those "already pretty good players" but I still love the channel. Keeps the brain hungry for learning more and learning how to take the ordinary and turn it into extraordinary. 🎸🎵🎸🎶
Thanks Duncan! You must be one of those "*almost* already pretty good players" :-) In general, working on chords plus fills is a great way to get to that next level of enjoyment. Take your time - remember slow and steady wins the race!
@@EricHaugenGuitar Progress feels slow but definitely getting better. I tend to go knowledge hunting which helps me to understand the learning journey better. Thanks for the tip, I'm very new to fills but looking forward to learning to play them.
hands down, that's just the best explanation of Jimi's rhythm/lead approach I've seen! example broken down simply, clearly, super well-done :) subbed right away
Thanks so much! So much of my playing comes from Jimi's rhythm approach! I love the way he thought of chords as open things as opposed to these tight claw-like grabs. I still find new licks this way everyday!
+Matt Phillips That song changed my life. Guitar wise, and non guitar. Best lyric ever: "butterflies, moonbeams, zebras, and uh, fairy tales." I un ironically love that 👌🏻
You're right, the Art ribbon mic sounds great. I can hear a difference between it & the Se; not bad, just different. Very impressive for $150. Great lesson too! I dug into the Hendrix thing a few years ago & you're spot on about it, there's a valuable takeaway for everyone.
What you have done in this video is exactly what I want to get into, adapting this style to any song or chord progression, how can I get more of this? You said to email for any further advice? I've been looking for this type of thing for ages know and this is exactly it, so I'm definitely keen to get more, let me know what I can do mate to contact you, thanks.
I ran across your channel a few days ago and I'm just floored. Great, great stuff. This lesson alone is incredibly helpful. You do such a great job of explaining your thought process, which helps me understand how to apply it. Again- keep up the good work. And, as others have said, your tone & phrasing are just phenomenal.
Thanks so much! I'm having a really great time sharing my playing / philosophy with the world! The feedback has been so overwhelmingly positive - it's really great!
Great lessons! I really like your unagitated and calm yet thorough and precise teaching style. And, judging from your other videos, you're extremely versatile. Perfect stuff! Please keep up the good work. Greetings from Bavaria.
Thanks Eric, this has been going around in my head for days, I'm liking the move from Em to C.. sweet, I've almost mastered it. Thanks for posting this, your approach to teaching is spot on. Keep up the good work!
I love the basic chord progression of a well known song used as a platform for demonstrating different styles & approaches. I can see this ides as the basis for a short series. The one I want to see next is Wagon Wheel as Cornell Dupree might play it!
+Bonham House Thanks man! These days I go pretty light with strings - I used to do 11s and 12s, but that was wearing out my left arm. Now I use daddario 10s on 25.5 scale guitars, and daddario 11s on my mustang, which is 24 scale.
Really good lesson man. You've become one of my favorites. Great taste in music and really good tone. I was already looking at the Deco and now after this I'm definitely buying one.
Just found your channel... and... thank you!! It is really cool! I´ve been playing guitar for about 20 years now, self taught. I have already figured a bunch of stuff you´re teaching here (hendrix, neil young, gilmour) and i´m still learning a lot!!
Just so I understand: Let's say I play a simple 1, 4, 5 progression in G major. To do the Jimi Hendrix approach, I would play a G major pentatonic scale over the G chord, C major pentatonic over the C chord and D major pentatonic over the D chord? And this is not the same as playing a G major pentatonic scale across all three chords?
Precisely! You could play G major pentatonic across all three - but you'd miss out on the outlining effect of playing to each chord. There isn't a right or wrong way - you just gotta experiment and see what you like the sound of more :-)
Tks Eric. Amazing lesson, your tone is incredible. I found out this channel a couple of months ago and it has helped me a lot to improve my guitar skills. Tks again and keep it up.
I love hammer-ons, pull- offs & double stops. It has a lot of feel. Keith Richards also did a lot of that in his rhythm playing a very underrated rhythm guitarists. It's a sexy style
It's true, we do tend to mentally separate out chords from solos when we initially learn to play and find ourselves in a rut later on (pun intended). Great video.
Ha! Yes, it's true - I think it's one of the flaws of how guitar is taught. I wish my teachers showed me how to connect fills and chords from the beginning. But I learned in the 90s, and my teacher was a shred guy, "Bumblefoot" is his stage name. Nice dude, but definitely a shred guy :-)
Its easy now that there are hundreds of you tube videos out there now teaching these concepts to begin to grasp it and start to incorporate it into your playing at least at a basic level. But jimi had no you tube and to me this way of interpreting the guitar is his greatest legacy.
Yeah! Jimi's songwriting and rhythm playing are somewhat overshadowed by his stage persona. He was just a brilliant genius - the sum of all genres that came before him 🙌
He developed this style from elements of Curtis Mayfield, Iseley Brothers, Steve Cropper, and all the early soul/r&b artists. But he really took it to the next level!
Good Ears! Bold as Love is the same progression by in the Key of A! Actually, many many songs follow this I-V-vi-IV maneuver - it's crazy! Let It Be, Don't Stop Believin', Forever Young, With Or Without You, Take On Me, Under The Bridge....it just keeps going!
you said if I'm watching your channel im probably already pretty good at guitar.... i can play most of lil wang pretty well, ill always be a student. maybe sometimes good but never GOOD if ya know what i mean. anyways thank you for this awesome concise and clear content, you are a great teacher. in 30 mins of your videos ive already sharpened up the chops, just from little tricks here and there. subscribed and notifications are on sir.
Every time I picked up my guitar I would find myself going straight to a G chord .I made a conscious effort to always play something different get away from comfortable keys and it really opened up my playing. Like this demo does also.I hope this makes sense.
Fantastic job, really helpful, congratulations and thank you. I love your vintage gear and tone. Also your playing is second to none. Cheers from Brazil.
Do it! My ASAT has the slim C neck profile. I also just picked up a Legacy with the Modern Classic neck profile - a little bigger but still very comfy! Here's a link to the neck specs: www.glguitars.com/instruments/usa/options/guitar.asp
I have a Mexican Tele that I love: staggered, locking tuners, Hot Rails in the bridge. Sounds incredible and stays in tune like a boss. But those G&Ls have my interest piqued. I just have to decide which one.
Hi Jerry! Those are just the stock MFD pickups that Leo designed for G&L. They're ceramic magnets, and quite hot. Yet somehow they are low noise and very chimey. I think Leo really figured something out with those.
Thanks Bryan! The signal chain goes: ASAT Classic - Strymon Deco - Styrmon Flint - Firebottle Toneworks 5f4 Tweed Pro Clone - Weber 15A150 Speaker - Art Ar5 Active Ribbon Mic about 10" from amp - Art Tube MP Preamp - Tascam Dr 40 Field Recorder Then I open the file in garageband, EQ it a little ( I think I used the "guitar sweetenter" preset ), Compress it a little ( used the "Analog Tape" preset ), and add some Valhalla effects Vintage Reverb ( "Thin Plate" preset - 30% mix ). The Valhalla stuff is so great! All their plugins sound so friggin' good!
Question...how do you keep track of the timing??? I can play the chord and and embellish, but I have trouble maintaining proper time. I have tried this technique many times on many songs but linger on chords
Good question! I think I'm gonna put together a lesson on how to do fills and keep the groove going - it's tricky! My short answer would be to try to keep the fills simple and short, that way you have time to get to the next chord :-D
Thanks Ed!

It's my pleasure, man! This style of chord+fill playing is so useful in so many different applications - I am constantly finding new ways to Hendrix-fy things ;-)
Eric Haugen As an intermediate player I am wondering if Ron Wood, with all his rolling rhythm work, isn't just using Major and Minor Pentatonics, blues shuffles and old R&B/Motown tricks. Maybe I am closer than I think! I will consider some remote lessons with you. Thanks again. Check out 'Debris'...might be a fun lesson in line with what you have been teaching. Cheers!
You must be psychic! "Debris" is on my short list of things to transcribe! I love Ronnie Lane's tunes so much - they're a great compliment to Rod's party songs.
+Jay Baker Thanks so much Jay! Yeah, I'm all about using what we already know in other applications instead of filling our heads with more and more scales, arpeggios, inversions, etc.
I had to get out of that kind of practice. It wasn't making me better. I love this kind of playing. I'm a huge fan of dean ween and his idols are dickie betts, Eddie hazel, prince and so on. They all do this kind of stuff in their own way. Seems like the best guitar players don't have borders.
Ooooh I should do some Ween! That'd be fun! And yeah, there's a ratio of effort:results when it comes to practicing scales. I definitely think it's good to know things, but there comes a time when it's too much, and I actually think that's different for everyone. For myself, I can keep handy my major, minor, blues, and modes but that's it. Don't ask me to play a diminished scale - I can never remember it!
Yeah, I've tried to learn the weird jerry scales and never learned how to apply them to actual songs. Would be cool if ya did some ween. I'm seeing them 2 shows at the Aragon in Chicago in march. They don't play as often as they used to so gotta see them when u can. I'm puting together a deaner strat. Got everything but the body.
Love your videos - thanks for posting them I always learn something from watching. One thing: guitars always sound great but it’s sometimes hard to hear you speak. Could you turn the volume up a bit on your voice? I don’t want to miss anything- thanks,
Thanks for the feedback, Adam! I've noticed that on some of my videos as well - I fixed the issue on my more recent uploads. Unfortunately, anything from last Spring may have the voice recorded too low :-P
I grew up in NJ and Bumblefoot was my teacher. Then, I went to Berklee College of Music in Boston and got to study with many great teachers there as well: John Thomas, Lauren Passarelli, Bob Schlink, and Micke Idhe.
I love this lesson and i'm gonna learn it but the thing is that if you play like that most people are gonna say that you are trying to sound like Hendrix, he kinda cornered this style. Specially when played on a Fender but then again, it's sounds kinda of with humbuckers. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
Will do, Marina! Hendrix-fying stuff is really fun for me! Here's a playlist with other tunes that I've applied this idea to: th-cam.com/play/PLnWUjmH5ZikGi3L1E9p0Y-m9iu_BkfTsz.html Enjoy!
+Mark Marshall Thanks Mark! I put the signal chain in the description of the video 😎 Basically, you're hearing the strymon deco, strymon flint, into my tweed pro, recorded with a cheap ribbon mic with some compression and plate reverb added in post.
I mean, I can play and come up with all that stuff to, I know the chords, inversions and how they're built, I know the scales... but man there's something in your finger which makes it sound so sweet! (or is it the tone? :P)
thank you Eric, great instructions and great sound. Would be amazing if you could take a blues, jazz fusion song ala Marcus King band's " Rita is gone" or similar to break down
Every single lesson you share is something that sticks with me going forward. Really grateful, thanks again.
Brilliant lesson, 'a chord is a solo and a solo is a chord'. It just suddenly all clicked together in my head. Perfect for moving around those chord inversions. Loving your TH-cam channel and music choice. Thanks
Awesome! I'm so happy I could help!
Thank you for explaining why it works along the way
Of course! Gotta have the what, when, why, where and how - otherwise it's just licks :-)
Hey man! You've easily become my favorite TH-camr. Your tone is always consistently great! Keep it up
+Curtis Thanks so much, Curtis! Yeah, tone is everything to me. I'd always rather listen to a simple guitar part with elegant, luscious tone instead of a million notes with thin, raspy tone.
True! I remember how I got mesmerized in my teens by the guitar lines in Gin Soaked Boy by Tom Waits, and a friend of mine, who is an accomplished guitar player, complained about it saying it was too simple...
Sadly, It's easy to mistake speed for quality. All too often, people think of music more as a sport, than as an art.
Stealth education. You put students in a trance with your mellow demeanor... by the time you snap out of the entertaining lecture you're unwittingly smarter than you when you started watching.
Sneaky sneaky
You absolutely rule, Eric. You are hands down the best teacher on TH-cam.
Thanks so much, Joe!
You're too kind!
I have been taking lessons for just over a year. And I learned much about guitar. However I am learning more from your lessons. Please keep uploading so I can learn. I love the way you play and love your melodic sensibility. This one was a cool lesson!
Thanks so much James! I'm so glad my style resonates with you! I try to keep things concise, creative, musical, and intuitive :-)
It's really interesting how the hendrix style makes that otherwise kind of boring chord sequence come to life and sound good.
Exactly!
The slides, doublestops, and pentatonic fills really open up any chord progression you could think of!
that sound is so sweet!!! you could play that at a bar with no accompaniment and people would love it
+Jeffery Lord Thanks Jeffery!
I love this kind of lesson! Helps with understanding how chords and scales come together to make music, rather than just learning to recite a piece. Great video!
Exactly! It's so valuable to take the things we've learned from all our hard work and practice and recycle them for new applications!
Damn! that tone!
Thanks, bro!
This is how guitar tutorial videos should be done. Came at at timely moment in my guitar walk, as it were.
Thanks!
It always makes me happy to hear that my little tips and tricks are helping people out!
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan you freaking nailed that!!!!
Beautiful!
What a great tutorial. I've seen you explain Dave Rawlings, now I see you explaining Hendrix, wow! You are an amazing musician as well as a teacher.
Thanks so much man!
My whole thing is about taking little pieces of my favorite players, and seeing what happens when I apply those ideas to new backgrounds - it's fun, and creative!
Wow! One of the best tones I've ever heard
Thanks so much!
These Hendrix style lessons are so cool! Keep'em comin!
Loving this
Funny, I've been playing Hendrix type rhythm guitar for years: I learned it by copying Bold As Love. But I never thought about what I was doing before seeing your video. Thanks!
Good on you! So much of my playing stems from Hendrix rhythm stuff - it's how I learned to play to changes.
Thank you! Man you are a great guitar player and teacher!
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Hey Eric. You make it look easy but that kind of hybrid chord and solo playing takes years and years of experience and hard work. Thank you for sharing.

+Daniel Lawson thanks daniel! Yeah it's all about learning the concept, not just the sweet sweet licks!
re: little wing "the concepts in that song are not just for that song, they're for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE"
+Matt Phillips That song changed my life. Guitar wise, and non guitar. Best lyric ever: "butterflies, moonbeams, zebras, and uh, fairy tales." I un ironically love that 👌🏻
Awesome lesson, informative, inspiring and you go through the techniques/licks at the right pace.
Thanks Ed!
This style of chord + fill playing is everything to me!
Been going through your channel lately and I can't get over your tone! Perfect sound man
Thanks so much!
It's the combination of the Strymon deco, Alnico Speaker, Ribbon Mic, and Reverb that works for me :-)
Great demo Eric.
Thanks! It's a fun game to play to take motifs from one artist and put them out of context :-)
You're right, the Art ribbon mic sounds great. I can hear a difference between it & the Se; not bad, just different. Very impressive for $150.
Great lesson too! I dug into the Hendrix thing a few years ago & you're spot on about it, there's a valuable takeaway for everyone.
+Done With It yeah - the Se is a bit more hifi than the Ar5. Long live Hendrix doublestops!
This is exactly what I'm hoping to learn! Thank you!!!
Cool!
It's a great exercise to apply these sorts of R&B fills to songs that maybe wouldn't have them originally :-)
Such a cool lesson
Thanks Devin!
This is a fun thing to do - take the principles of Hendrix chord fills and put them in places we wouldn't have thought appropriate :-)
This is gold 👌
Your tone is so sweet. That Deco is shining in this one. Nice job again.
Thanks Kyle!
The Deco is one of my desert island pedals. I'd be lost without it!
Watched a few of your videos now, and really dig your approach to teaching. Thank you for taking the time to make these and sharing your knowledge.

Super freaking helpful
Thanks Johan! I just realized that Wagon Wheel is actually the same chords as Axis Bold As Love, if you move it to A. aha!
Your stuff is great man. Good little guitar nuggets...also really nice quality and nice tone..keep it up please !!
This is really fun for me - everyone's been so supportive and encouraging! Don't worry I ain't never gonna stop until I surpass Marty Schwartz : - )

+Bonham House Thanks man! These days I go pretty light with strings - I used to do 11s and 12s, but that was wearing out my left arm. Now I use daddario 10s on 25.5 scale guitars, and daddario 11s on my mustang, which is 24 scale.

Aw shucks thanks Brad! Yeah, the Deco is great - the tape compression mode I use all the time - it makes for the smoothest overdrive I've ever had!

It is really cool!
I´ve been playing guitar for about 20 years now, self taught. I have already figured a bunch of stuff you´re teaching here (hendrix, neil young, gilmour) and i´m still learning a lot!!
+Beto Pps Cool! Thanks for tuning in!
Genius! Mind expanding - in terms of opening up possibilities on the guitar!
Yes! I love helping people see the fretboard differently!
Just so I understand: Let's say I play a simple 1, 4, 5 progression in G major. To do the Jimi Hendrix approach, I would play a G major pentatonic scale over the G chord, C major pentatonic over the C chord and D major pentatonic over the D chord?

Thanks so much, my TH-cam brother!

Gosh thanks so much man! I’m truly flattered!
I love hammer-ons, pull- offs & double stops. It has a lot of feel. Keith Richards also did a lot of that in his rhythm playing a very underrated rhythm guitarists. It's a sexy style

I think a Jimi Hendrix take on CCR or AC/DC would not only be pretty informative, but also awesome as all heck
Oooh that's a great idea!
"Someday Never Comes" would be smooooth in the Hendrix style :-)
Its easy now that there are hundreds of you tube videos out there now teaching these concepts to begin to grasp it and start to incorporate it into your playing at least at a basic level. But jimi had no you tube and to me this way of interpreting the guitar is his greatest legacy.

@@EricHaugenGuitar do you know if there are specific players that influenced hendrix in this style or was this something he developed on his own?
He developed this style from elements of Curtis Mayfield, Iseley Brothers, Steve Cropper, and all the early soul/r&b artists. But he really took it to the next level!
@@EricHaugenGuitar time to dive into curtis mayfield
The Superfly soundtrack is killer. Also, "People Get Ready" was a really huge guitar influencer
Can’t believe I’ve only just found this channel! Amazing. Sub’d
Very helpful and great tone.

Sounds like Bold As Love!
Good Ears!
Bold as Love is the same progression by in the Key of A!

Great channel. How do you compare your G&L to Tele? Just curious. Thanks!
That's awesome. I've been considering one for my next guitar, and that helps solidify the decision. Thanks!
Do it!
My ASAT has the slim C neck profile. I also just picked up a Legacy with the Modern Classic neck profile - a little bigger but still very comfy! Here's a link to the neck specs: www.glguitars.com/instruments/usa/options/guitar.asp
I have a Mexican Tele that I love: staggered, locking tuners, Hot Rails in the bridge. Sounds incredible and stays in tune like a boss. But those G&Ls have my interest piqued. I just have to decide which one.
Thanks man! That is so fun. What pickups you have in that Tele?
Sounds great.
Hi Jerry! Those are just the stock MFD pickups that Leo designed for G&L. They're ceramic magnets, and quite hot. Yet somehow they are low noise and very chimey. I think Leo really figured something out with those.
Sooooooo gooood. Thanks for the groovy tip
It's my pleasure!
Thanks for watching!
Your recorded tone on this video sounds great! Are you using a second "room" mic, and if so, what is the type and placement?
Thanks Bryan!
The signal chain goes: ASAT Classic - Strymon Deco - Styrmon Flint - Firebottle Toneworks 5f4 Tweed Pro Clone - Weber 15A150 Speaker - Art Ar5 Active Ribbon Mic about 10" from amp - Art Tube MP Preamp - Tascam Dr 40 Field Recorder
Then I open the file in garageband, EQ it a little ( I think I used the "guitar sweetenter" preset ), Compress it a little ( used the "Analog Tape" preset ), and add some Valhalla effects Vintage Reverb ( "Thin Plate" preset - 30% mix ). The Valhalla stuff is so great! All their plugins sound so friggin' good!
Man you are great
Aw shucks thanks man!
First 14 second of video: Cause this is Thrillllaaaaaa! Thriller night!
hahahaha so true!
Especially if you play at 2X speed!
Question...how do you keep track of the timing??? I can play the chord and and embellish, but I have trouble maintaining proper time. I have tried this technique many times on many songs but linger on chords
Good question! I think I'm gonna put together a lesson on how to do fills and keep the groove going - it's tricky!
My short answer would be to try to keep the fills simple and short, that way you have time to get to the next chord :-D
Slow down and play to a metronome. Speed up as you get the playing down. Muscle memory follows.
Just had a look at some of your videos. Great channel and superb sounds!
Thanks so much, Mark!
Very nice, are you using the Silvertone amp for this? If so what settings? Also, any effects, sounds like some delay.
Thanks Ed!
The signal chain goes: ASAT Classic - Strymon Deco - Strymon Flint - Firebottle Toneworks 5f4 Tweed Pro Clone - Weber 15A150 Speaker - Art Ar5 Active Ribbon Mic about 10" from amp - Art Tube MP Preamp - Tascam Dr 40 Field Recorder
Then I open the file in garageband, EQ it a little ( I think I used the "guitar sweetenter" preset ), Compress it a little ( used the "Analog Tape" preset ), and add some Valhalla effects Vintage Reverb ( "Thin Plate" preset - 30% mix ). The Valhalla stuff is so great! All their plugins sound so friggin' good!
That tone you have is killer. Always loved that Hendrix style bluesy sound. Good job!
Yeah - that edge of clean / light overdrive is a great place to be - thanks Ed!
Thank you.
It's my pleasure, man!
This style of chord+fill playing is so useful in so many different applications - I am constantly finding new ways to Hendrix-fy things ;-)
Great stuff!...thanks Eric.
It's my pleasure Jon!
Have fun trying this stuff out on your own jams - Hendrix-fy everything!
Just catching this. The heady days of being able to go outside.... nice video.
Season 2 of 2020 is off to a mad start!
@@EricHaugenGuitar I’m going to wait for the book to come out.
Thank you! Loving your Channel! More Ron Woods and Faces please! and always more Hendrix!
Thanks Matt!
Yeah, I gotta do more Faces - I love that band. So scrappy and natural!
Eric Haugen As an intermediate player I am wondering if Ron Wood, with all his rolling rhythm work, isn't just using Major and Minor Pentatonics, blues shuffles and old R&B/Motown tricks. Maybe I am closer than I think! I will consider some remote lessons with you. Thanks again. Check out 'Debris'...might be a fun lesson in line with what you have been teaching. Cheers!
You must be psychic! "Debris" is on my short list of things to transcribe!
I love Ronnie Lane's tunes so much - they're a great compliment to Rod's party songs.
Just beautiful and super inspiring
Thanks Giovanni!
Hendrix-fying non-Hendrix songs is a great way to work on his techniques!
really cool idea. your videos always make me think about playing the guitar differently than I do.
+Jay Baker Thanks so much Jay! Yeah, I'm all about using what we already know in other applications instead of filling our heads with more and more scales, arpeggios, inversions, etc.
I had to get out of that kind of practice. It wasn't making me better. I love this kind of playing. I'm a huge fan of dean ween and his idols are dickie betts, Eddie hazel, prince and so on. They all do this kind of stuff in their own way. Seems like the best guitar players don't have borders.
Ooooh I should do some Ween! That'd be fun!
And yeah, there's a ratio of effort:results when it comes to practicing scales. I definitely think it's good to know things, but there comes a time when it's too much, and I actually think that's different for everyone. For myself, I can keep handy my major, minor, blues, and modes but that's it. Don't ask me to play a diminished scale - I can never remember it!
Yeah, I've tried to learn the weird jerry scales and never learned how to apply them to actual songs. Would be cool if ya did some ween. I'm seeing them 2 shows at the Aragon in Chicago in march. They don't play as often as they used to so gotta see them when u can. I'm puting together a deaner strat. Got everything but the body.
just found your channel, it´s so great and you have an excellent tone, thanks and congrats!
Thanks again, Paulo!
Love your videos - thanks for posting them I always learn something from watching. One thing: guitars always sound great but it’s sometimes hard to hear you speak. Could you turn the volume up a bit on your voice? I don’t want to miss anything- thanks,
Thanks for the feedback, Adam!
I've noticed that on some of my videos as well - I fixed the issue on my more recent uploads. Unfortunately, anything from last Spring may have the voice recorded too low :-P
tone is great man
Thanks so much, Dev!
Eric Haugen where did you study?
I grew up in NJ and Bumblefoot was my teacher. Then, I went to Berklee College of Music in Boston and got to study with many great teachers there as well: John Thomas, Lauren Passarelli, Bob Schlink, and Micke Idhe.
that's really cool man thanks for passing it on to us
I love this lesson and i'm gonna learn it but the thing is that if you play like that most people are gonna say that you are trying to sound like Hendrix, he kinda cornered this style. Specially when played on a Fender but then again, it's sounds kinda of with humbuckers. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
Great stuff
Thanks so much, James!
Sweet tone brother. 🤘🖐🎸 🇦🇺
Thanks Calven!
Gimme some light overdrive, a ribbon mic, & reverb and I'm a happy guy!
This is awesome man, thank you!
It's my pleasure, bro! I'm always happy to share whatever tips and tricks I've picked up with my fellow guitar enthusiasts!
dope video. i would pay good money for a book or a full lesson of hendrix rhythm ideas.
Thanks Kevin!
That's a good idea - I should compile all my Hendrix-ish ideas into one bundle!
more of this please please!!!
Will do, Marina!
Hendrix-fying stuff is really fun for me!
Here's a playlist with other tunes that I've applied this idea to: th-cam.com/play/PLnWUjmH5ZikGi3L1E9p0Y-m9iu_BkfTsz.html
Enjoy!
I know I saw them all! More more!! :-D
Thanks for watching all those!
Next up, I'm gonna put Hendrix doublestops on a Cat Stevens tune - it's gonna be cool :-)
Stay Tuned!
tuned!!
Luv it!
Thanks Marcel!
Wow man, that's some tone you've got going on there! So clean, chimey, bold... how are you recording? Fantastic stuff!
+Mark Marshall Thanks Mark!
I put the signal chain in the description of the video 😎
Basically, you're hearing the strymon deco, strymon flint, into my tweed pro, recorded with a cheap ribbon mic with some compression and plate reverb added in post.
Eric Haugen thanks Eric, sorry I wasn't clearer, I was wondering what you're recording interface/equipment you're using?
Oh I see! I record the mic into the Art Tube Mp preamp, then a Tascam Dr 40 field recorder, and edit in Garageband 10.
I like the G&L sound
Thanks Calvin! I work hard to get my tone just right - it's important!
I mean, I can play and come up with all that stuff to, I know the chords, inversions and how they're built, I know the scales... but man there's something in your finger which makes it sound so sweet! (or is it the tone? :P)
Thanks Mykhailo!
It must be the reverb!
love it
Thanks so much, Andrew! Have fun with it!
wow thats a great lesson wheres that tip jar so i can drop some coinage for some coffee or new strings thanks so much eric
Thanks Mark! There’s a “one time donate” button on my website if you go to the “patreon” part.
thank you Eric, great instructions and great sound. Would be amazing if you could take a blues, jazz fusion song ala Marcus King band's " Rita is gone" or similar to break down
Good idea!
luv this! 😍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thanks man! I'm glad you like it!
