Guitar Lessons: Jimi Hendrix

[ZomBeatz13]

When was this recorded? 1991?

[clarkewi]

You got the sound perfectly.

[amali123456200]

thelei kourdismaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa egw paizw kalitera

[NickHaVAnaClub]

@amali123456200 χχααχαχαχαχαχα λες τωρα εσυ! :Ρ

[mwillh]

Great tutorials- thanks for giving!!!

[123mynames123]

did you plug your guitar into a microwave ?

[kevmilla]

great sound what are ur amp settings?

[SamBevins]

cool vid :)

[Solus77]

HA, laughable man!

[MrCercami]

good player... a little to much distorsion...mabee

[Zakk667]

This dude obviously knows how to play. All this "Watch the Hendrix films! He plays lot of this stuff different than you" stuff doesn't matter at all. He has a great tone and wants to share his knowledge with other guitar players. I think he does a great job doing this lesson.

[Zakk667]

@Zakk667 In fact I think noone on earth would hear any difference to the original song if this dude would play the guitar on them. Jimi Hendrix' greatness isn't only his guitar playin' but his combined power of his voice, soul and guitar playing. A man who knew to intoxicate so many people at once. a genious.

[hurricaneofrock]

it wouldve been better if you wouldve said it was half step down before trying to imitate your lessons..

[johncartelli]

i have one of his randy rhoads tapes.. then while talking to a bassist friend of mine a few months back(he moved to Mexico) he buds and has jammed with curt...wow!

[DarthMorbius1977]

Wow a Curt Mitchell Video! I haven't seen one in a LONG time.

[11spike7]

This guy has many lessons on different players' given styles. I remember seeing his videos at a store about 20 years ago!

His playing is very near perfect technically. He's not saying to just try and mimic someone's playing. He's showing us how different players get their tones, tricks they use, etc.

[goatphilososphy]

pink sky in the morning shepards warning

[maccaevs]

What do you know mr me music

[Empez]

creepy guy, but great performance

[Fruscianteistheman]

lay off that tone please.

[johncartelli]

this sounds like curt...I have an old vhs tape of you showing rhandy rhoads crazy train.. dan greenberg and me go way back...he tells me youguys know each other...cool..your stuff is always great...thanks for the help....JC

[MrBad357]

why dont some of u fucken guys tell us how to do intead of just showing us fuck!!!!!!

[georgewashington92]

damned this guy is good

[amazingguitar20]

Excellent demonstration Simple and too the point. Very cool.

[LfunkeyA]

its a great lesson, too bad there's so many haters

[SaintCarloman]

he plays well but not as the Jimi way

[tonechaser56]

@SaintCarloman All due respect, Nobody plays the Jimi way ,thats what made him Jimi.

[CrackerJackLee]

maybe not yet...

[bladeswhite]

thank you very much

[attilasaxe]

with all sincerity you should be learning more before you share

[memusic1947]

Im sure jimi would respect any one playing Hey joe in a differernt way or there own Interpretation,Long as it wasnt Total crap!

[mrpotatfacemn8675309]

don't forget purple haze

[memusic1947]

haha Still learning,hey joe!!! i know its terrible,ive only played guitar 4,40years....Brilliant vid as good as j.hendrix in fact marginnaly Better!!!

[thedonutholes69]

@memusic1947 i dont think jimi would hear crap his mind would add notes and make a song

[BamaTony73]

I've learned several songs through this guy from his Eagles tape he made years ago. Great stuff man keep it up!

[zacata23]

i don't like the chords he's playing on 'Purple Haze' are right. Jimi's chords are pretty unique! Not just close to the nut chords

[parigod]

Same chords, just in a different position.

[zacata23]

Right, but that's what makes them different chords, isn't it?

I think one of the most important aspects to concentrate on when learning to play Hendrix is the distinctive chord shapes that make his own style. Different chord positions = slightly different sounds.

[parigod]

I agree, but he often varied his chord positions; especially when playing live.

[JimiPlaysWoodstock]

guys this is curt michell from the "in the style of jimi hendrix" dvd. something real funny is that in the newer so called digitally remastered version, he is like 20 years older and 40 kg more heavy.

[Beautiworld0]

?? old vid or what

[optoisolator]

Watch the Hendrix films! He plays lot of this stuff different than you. In fact he never played anything the same way twice! Guys, don't bust yer balls learning this stuff note for note. Get the gist of it and then do it your own way. That's what Jimi would do!

[cjellwood]

agreed

[eli25822]

@optoisolator

i agree....

[NileOfBlood6606]

@optoisolator amen dude

[Riotstarter100]

@optoisolator

yeah thats what he would because he could play extremely good

average players cant do that

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

@optoisolator i know this piece of shit guitarist. i started playing Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. Then the asshole yells at me and goes ''You're doin it wrong! It's a down, up, up, down strumming pattern!'' What a fuck job! Oh well, guitar for me is sitting down relaxing and playing whatever comes into my head. For him it's stressing out over playing things note for note. I am glad i am not a robot.

[gunn2040]

@optoisolator thanks dude ive nearly been smashing my guitar to bits actually like jimi did exept i was angry because i couldnt learn bold as love, it so annoying

[zzebowa]

@optoisolator I agree. They all do. It just happens that the one version they did in the studio becomes the one copied. But, as you say, this is just (what I call) guitar karaoke. It always worth learning a solo, it makes you learn new techniques, but when it comes to playing it its gotta come form your heart. And if Jimmy heard you play it that way, he'd say pretty cool!

[GoPHAPyourself]

:/

I've been playing for many years and for some reason haven't practiced any Jimi. I thought this video was PERFECT for youtube. He plays it real time ( or even faster, which I prefer) and then slow and zoomed in.

[jbhmrule]

you all are right

[mynamesjimmyg]

what a great performance! this couldn't possibly be a lesson, could it? because lessons are where you are taught how to do something, preferably with audible speaking and good tone

your a star man

[MtFari]

facil

[cotyt94]

rofl how old is this?

[bubbah12345]

wow they all sound right this should hav 5 strz

[2hizzy2]

david gilmour is in pink floyd :)

[xhinomorux]

Someone did learn something? oO

[jjensen67]

Yeah - Really bad recording, but I think we have all figured that out. The original DVD probably is great, but anyway... Yeah - good job on this. I like it. Nice rendition of jimi - I enjoyed all of it.

BTW

1. Strats do not suck. (PERIOD) ask dave gilmour...

2. Yes the video was distorted. (Not the guitar)

3. Played the material really well? (YES)

4. Was it exact to Jimi? (No, but Jimi played everything different all the time anyway)

Good stuff - Have fun. Play hard :)

[cerati96]

Who's Dave Gilmour?

[insanemembrane16]

you actually just said that?

[cerati96]

I forgot at the time

[bladeswhite]

strage voice ^^ but good cover

[Will4the1]

I wish all the racist comments would stop. This is about guitar lessons and making music, hopefully.

[dercorradog60]

really crappy strat???? what the HELL are you talking about....this recording is a lil distorted to begin with...but his tone is GREAT!.....your probly some gibson FAG! ....1972 tle bitches HA!:)

[bigstU25]

Too much treble and gain, man.

[cvtinnovations]

really crapy strat?you should learn what your looking at

[aaronhowes]

thought it was lesson

[Tannre40V2T]

You are the antisocial liberal of the days, eh? Bigmonkeyman44? What kind of communist name is that?

[bigmonkeyman44]

bigniggerman LOL

[gsnowfromcr]

[djchimpster91]

[bigmonkeyman44]

[malmsteen64]

[DHarms07]

Yar.

Much love,

[brownhole03]

rreally crappy strat

[richter44]

sound is mostly from the fingers and the rig dude!

[nedsdead]

you're supposed to show us how to play it, not just play it idiot.

[NaturesGlory]

You're supposed to learn by listening, not through tabs, idiot.

[spoelfgen]

you play so good but the sound in youtube is horrible

[gwynedd007]

can u play.......DELANEYS DONKEY.....by val doonican....pliz...Thanx....XD

[tomcooperlive]

why don't you explain what youre doing rather then making us have to almost guess

[richter44]

get it its an instructional video from a vhs he only uploaded it

[bootzilla82]

his name is curt mitchell...great guitar player..

[Johniisss]

whats his name ?

[diablofreak1989]

Your tone is muffled by lots of rumble. Eww.

[jakewars]

whats the snog at 3:00

[Thrasheroso]

the winds cries mary

[jimirayh]

the purple haze riff is actually done in an E augmented ninth like SRV uses and you have to slide up and into it to make it work it is a great power chord and yes this guy is good in his own way like others are nice work

[IZeppelinI]

i have this AMAZING video backed up on a cd-r of this guy teaching the jimmy page method, it is the same format, examples 1 - ___ this guy is like memorized every cool lick imaginable.

[Wiiwii25]

how does that sound like purple haze?

[tatzor]

fuzz pedal

[tatzor]

allthough its just alot of dist this guy uses:S

[mert1809]

too much distortion

[lefthandedguitar]

Not really have you heard jimi live?

[StannyBeinStanny]

15 or 20 years ago i had a tape of his.he was teaching ac dc.man this guy has been around and can doit all!!! hes great

[jeangary]

This dude's good man. I suppose you nay sayers think that you can play like Hendrix. Gimme a break.

[oblivion292]

after the first 10 seconds i had to stop watching this video because i was on the verge of falling into a coma... u call this jimi hendrix?.. if i had a camera, i would show all u kids how its done

[ManUnitedRuleEngland]

Well buy a camera and prove it to us then ass hole.

This guy is doing his best and if I'm honest, he is fucking good.

I could put my bottom dollar on it that he is better than you.

Get a life.

[xHOLYROLLERx]

Who cares if he doesn't play the exact chord off the tab you learned it off or whatever. The man can play and he's got some sweet hendrix sound going on.

[esahagun]

you are right, he's got it!!!

[Versettie]

distortion ftl

[boki2053760]

so what did i learn exept that ur a junk ? ?

[lethalxwisdom]

Wind cries mary made me smile..

[titir77]

that distorsion is awfull

[BHStar]

Man, this sucks.. Who used that much distortion on jimi hendrix, you're raping it man.. And scalloped & hendrix don't go together..

[jamagica]

it's not the distortion doing that..it's the vid quality..listen to the guy's voice

[THIARIAU]

Surement intéressant mais un son vraiment crade :: même la voie sature !!!!!

obligé d'arêter tellement ça fait mal au oreilles même au minimum.

La prochaine foi enregistre mieux que ça sinon ça ne m'étonne pas qu'on entend nul part

[0coolx]

that looks like a grungy version of napoleon dynamite

[1280x820]

you're distortion sucks.

[smittymanpatrick]

"You are grammar sucks" ...

[thatgibsonguy0001]

hahahaha get raped. lol owned.

[beware001]

slow the fuck down. turn the distortion down.

[knut189]

to fast! :S

[wojtek0000]

dude you know where i can score some bud?

[OGganjasmoker]

I know

[IZeppelinI]

whre u live?

[gizmotomada]

fuzz pedal..is the one

[tjdt123]

can some one name the chords

[FENDER254]

The Chords are C,G,D,A,E

[bankruptfilly]

when hes playing the main riff to purple haze, does anyone know the chords or tabs? im dying to know. ive always wanted to play it like that

[akosironin]

live tone but hes playing it in Eb

[terry358]

Jimi always tuned his guitar down a 1/2 step so he had more flexibility bending the heavy gauge strings (#10 first string ) and get a thicker tone. So when he played the position in E chord it was actually Eb.

[sauter25]

he plays to fast the first time of every part

[stefanlowe]

I'm looking for a good hendrix overdrive. What pedals would you guys recommend?

[spetsnaz455]

this guy is great who is he ?

[stefanlowe]

curt mitchell

[bugsbunny8989]

ha!early 90s rednecks.lovem

[ledz3pp3lin]

too much feed back

[ame624]

you guys are all retarded this is not hendrix tone. its almost close to his live tone

[ANICON2006]

..damn, this guys got Jimi's style down cold! would like to hear him play some of Jimi's covers! *****

[spetsnaz455]

only one word fantastic

[xXSpartan150Xx]

The only thing I got out of this video was the Intro to "Foxey Lady" other wise this guy sucks

[ame624]

why dont you cut you nails good playin though

[ame624]

terrible tone

[slasher3171992]

Actually thats a pretty accurate tone for Hendrix!

[entropydave]

Any reason why he's seems to be tuned a semitone out?

Can't follow his fingering without detuning!

Nice though, and very inspirational!

[sloughymeat]

jimi played with his guitar tuned down a step sometimes

[1akez1]

bad tone!!!

[slasher3171992]

Again the tone is not bad! Maybe it's just you.......

[AmorinhaSM]

You are great man !

[doger123456789]

at 00:19 he flips us off fucking asshole!!!

[bambam567]

ur gay

[tlohrmann13]

this guy is great!

[macfro0]

ahhhh man waaaaaay too much distortion, ur playing it like its metal, ruins it, nearly everyone uses so much distortion for hendrix and it just destroys his songs

[nicksaysword]

the sound quality is just shitty

[onlyhalftime]

You should hear him play Metallica and AC/DC.. I think this guy's name is Curt Mitchell.. I don't remember he does instructional videos and shit metallica, ac/dc, stevie ray, jimi, a lot of different shit. He actually has a good sound on the DVD's...

[mnpd007]

Anyone who can play Hendrix and actually sound like Hendrix is good. This guy is good. In fact, he's damn good!

I just can't understand how you can play with long fingernails on your non-picking hand! I noticed those narrow vertical scratches on the fretboard between frets and figured out how they got there :) To each his own of course.

Thanks for a great video!

[prakdapb]

jimi was born on my same birth day but not year jsut same month and day

[AlexiisGore]

and this is important why?

[viletantrum]

That's nothing, Jimmi was born some time during the week in a month I wasn't so there...

[bubmobile]

ive been playing for 5 monthes only 2 monthes with lessons and i can play purlpe haze foxey lady voodoo chile and manic deprresion so i think you should be able to learn voodoo chile...

[koret7]

i think this guy wishes he was hendrix

[purecork]

most people do

[Oysy]

i just wanna learn voodoo chile, but is it to early to give it a go when u layed for like half a year.. acually less. : P

[ILSAIDL]

me too :( lol

[laxen1891]

to mutch gain

[opel47]

very accurate

[ArthurElizondo]

How do you play with such long nails on your fret hand? Is it hard for you to play chords with those nails? P.S. Are your frets uxed up because of your nails or because you wore them out by constantly playing?

You are an awsome guitarist, long nails or not.

[CoversUnited]

he has scalloped frets. this means that the fret board has been scalloped out each fret so you don't have to press as hard on the string. it allows you to play faster more comfortably.

check out malmstien

[JDA315]

i hate this guys sound

[hazor777]

duh!!! he's using a fuzz -- just like Hendrix did --- duh!!

[DROE84]

it sounds nice

[guitarplaya345]

he played purple haze so wrong i love rosewood strats well i guess it doesnt count cuz i love all strats[that are made in america]

[095195005]

strats are so much better then gibsons

[lilfisticuffs]

they are both awesome guitars, id bring them both with me on stange any day

[095195005]

so witch do you prefer ?

[lilfisticuffs]

truthfully, it depends on alot, depends on the song or the key, on the playing enviornment, or even which one i grab first, they both have things i like about them

[095195005]

your gonna die and go to heaven dos gives you the choice of using a telecaster a les paul a stratocaster or an sg fir the rest of oyur life you choose ...

[elburromjf]

Talk about an uninformed statement. Fender and Gibson both make good American-Made guitars, and any number of circumstances could steer a player to one or the other.

[BadMunckY]

The sound is average but your playing is excellent

Though I think rosewood strats are ugly :D

[Gardash111]

Is it the gain all the way up? Or was is it just the the quality of the vid as in the explanation?

[akrond]

Great tips on Hendrix licks!

[pobhockle]

I remember this guy, it's Curt Mitchell. I bought some of his tapes and he was quite good. Quite funny actually, cause on his PanterA tape he seemed to have got totally into them and I thought course you would - they're awesome ;)

[LRMMcDonnell]

someone please tell me the chords on riff #5 PLEASSEEE :D
