Great lesson, I was playing around with thumb over chord technique, as per video, with finger 3 taking strings 4&5, eventually got it after a couple of hours struggling with it, then it occurred to me I could do that on a standard e shaped barre chord, using your technique to take 5 and 4 with one finger work seems to with standard barre and still free up finger 4, ie a 3 finger E shape barre, 1 for barre 2 for shape. Are there any advantages of thumb over. Any thoughts ??
hey i have a question in theory: why can i play the A D C G and i doesnt sound weird? which key is this, i always thought there must be 3 major and 4 minor chords oO help`?
How on earth do you guys get the thin E string clean with this grip? I can't seem to get it clean, and the grip also very straining on the hand, any tips on how to achieve this with a "looser" grip?
@click5rox12 about a week, get your hand in a comfortable position and use the side of your thumb on the E string just practice practice practice and you should be able to get it right while feeling comfy not being strained
HERE I FUKEN AM, moving with progress with little wing, thinkang ahhh it snot THAT HARD... of course,,,,, now i gotta relarn a different fucking way to play bar chords b4 i can move on. THANKS JIMMYY!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
It's all official now, but the thumb over the 6th string was heresy back in 1970 (I was 14 years old): when I was taking guitar lessons (MEL BAY BOOK 2); I asked the instructor to explain what Jimi was doing with the thumb hangin over the neck and to please teach me how to play like that. He said "Well, his technique is WRONG- but I can show you his stuff once you've progressed to MEL BAY BOOK 10!". (I quit)
Excellent lesson. I've been experimenting with this technique for a few months. When you start adding slides, hammer/pull, tapping, different chord shapes...you will never get bored, there is just literally a million possibilities.
I meant to say "without" barring the bottom E with my thumb (see comment below in response to dingdongdanny) and just not playing all 6 strings from the bottom E.
@dingdongdannny The difference that it makes when you do not completely barr with your index finger is that it gives your little finger more manouverablitly as its movement is not restricted by the otherwise pinned-down index finger. I use this technique with barring the bottom E with my thumb by not playing all 6 strings. You can move this pattern to any key.
Nice playing dude. Good of you to take the time to show people stuff. Before I broke my left-hand pinky knuckle I used to be able to play similar licks. These days not as good but get by. I just have to remeber Django Reinhardt to stop feeling sorry for myself.
I learned this trick the second year i started playing and now i play all chords that way even the A shaped ones. My thumb is on the E string when i play solo too that way you get a better grip on the fretboard and it enhances your bending and vibrato plus you can mute strings easier.
I saw a documentary in which Noel Redding was trying to demonstrate this exact technique explaining it as he went along. After he gave it a couple of tries he took his hand off the neck of the guitar shook the cramps out of it and said something like “Jimi had huge hands so it was very easy for him”.
Justin, is there an advantage of using the thumb if you can just do the same thing with a standard barre.. maybe you can't progress to holding the A and D string with only your ring finger?
my grandfather played this way for many many years, he called it box chords. It allowed him to play harmonies with his rhythms. While picking the strings, he used his other fingers to pick harmonies.
I'm quite experienced (deliberate pun!) & I always wondered how the Mighty Jimi did that lead/rhythmn thing - excellent teacher mate, explain patiently without being patronising...keep up the good work fella! Not convinced by the beanie though ha ha.....only kidding....
@1702philip I agree. The thing about Jimi that made him so great were his rhythm chops. He got that from all those years backing "soul" groups. He really had that "James Brown Thang" down pat. He could build up so much momentum which set up his unbelievable solo work. What I notice is how much you have to build your hand strenght to really play those chords for extended periods. I know Jimi had huge hands but that is torture after about 1 minute. Jimi could keep it up all night. No pun intended.
Damn... How to press 4th and 5th string without muting the 3rd one? Imposible for me :/ My finger is to thin to press both srings placing it in between :(
Great lesson, i only struggle with the rythem. Could you make a tab of the riff that you play in the end (c, g, d, a, e) with al the up/down strums and picking notes. I couldn't find a documentation of that on your site. Thanks alot!
What a great teacher. I play in a classic rock band, and after watching this video i immediately started using these techniques to fill up the rhythm especially when the singer was in between his lines. And every one in the band positively commented after the first song. (which happened to be a hendrix song). Thank you. Your lessons are not only enlightening, but also inspiring.
Central elements in the Hendrix magic! Very good. I get so interested in the proper sound and the good sustain in these relatively clean tones. Is this due to the guitar, your Mesa amp or both ?
Hi, thank you for your great and helpful lessons. Is this a Hot Rod Tele? Did you say you just got it? Because at the moment I'm waiting for the American Deluxe Ash to be available again, because I think it's the right one for me and I tried a lot of different Teles, but not the Hot Rod. Does this give you the typical Tele sound, although it has no standard neck pickup? Can you tell me, why you are prefering this one? Thanks!
this is probably the most useful guitar video there is on youtube, because it was the way jimi spruced up his rhythm guitar that made song like hey joe a legendary song
hey i was wondering do you have to have hard callasus on your index finger to barre the e and b strings? im having difficulty barring those two strings. thanks
@Axoutatiser I dont get it, hate hate the peoples from french because they can't say at goddamn shit in another language, not even english which and the "world language"
That little trick your using to hold down 2 strings with one finger is essential to my ability to play guitar. I even use the stub for some 7th chords! LOL
Hey dude, just want to say that ive never been a fan of guitar lessons, but you make it so easy and clear to learn, and you have a laid back aproach, so i can listen to you with out thinking what a hack... Cool stuff man, and im now furthering my knowledge of the guitar, so if im at a party and somenes says play us a tune we know, i can now do that. Peace.xxx
Justin: I tried this myself, but if you're going to use your ring finger to fret the A and D strings on the 5th, then wouldn't it be easier to bar the 3rd fret with your pointer finger and use your pinky anyway? I think it's a cool little technique, and it looks cool, but you could just as easily play it the usual way and free up your pinky by using your ring finger to hold down both notes on the 5th fret. The only difference is that you're either barring with your pointer or using your thumb?
@agreewitme Just reading some comments on this, and yes he did. Hendrix used his thumb hooked over the e and would play minor chords just lifting off 2nd finger. A good example of this is in Wind cries Mary. Justin does a blistering lesson in 3 parts on this.
I think the tonal quality of the chord played like this is very diferent to the conventional barre chord. I love it so much I use it whenever possible. Took me months to get sounding nice though!!
What type of Tele is that, looks very versatile could you tell me the model, also great teaching I'm a bit past that but your technique is very good for learning. Great Job Mate!
Man, I think that you are one of the best teachers around the whole internet acess.. Really, you do a pretty good job explaining technics that actually sound good! Thank you very much!
And my guitar teacher has YET to show me anything on it. I realize that I don't HAVE to play like this, but it does make fast scale-runs that much easier.
If I could nail the E-shaped hendrix barre chords it would be a lot easier than switching up from standard barre chords to other chords I think. Also easier to go from the hendrix barre chords to scale runs/licks.
It truly is about committing to it and just converting everything you know over to the new style of technique. I am slowly going through my catalog of songs that I know and playing them in the "Hendrix-Style" and it's going well. So far I have converted "Allison" by SLOWDIVE and can play it properly with embellishments using the Hendrix technique.
Thats great and yeah basically 'converting' songs to the new style works. I have seen some hendrix style vids of Hotel California so try check them out too. good Luck
this guy is the kind of person you want to take lessons from,an encouraging person with alot of useful info.I`m in my late 50`s and have been in a bunch of bands,this pbstratocaster guy sounds like the kind of guy we hated jamming with,a condescending,name dropping,know it all.I`ve seen a bunch of Justin`s video`s,stick with him it`s good stuff.
Absolutely waste of time!!. Spending more than 3 min and NOT getting to the point of WHY Jimi used the "Thumb bass". This guy demonstrates Gsus2 - G6 and Gsus4, which ALL could be played by barree chord. Now, why Jimi used the thumb is that he palyed with AN OPEN g-string (which is not possible with barree. ("Little Wing + Castles made of sand" is fine examples). And ofcourse, many guitarplayers, who are more than 50 uses "thumb chords"..So, this lesson has no real point, and is a waste of time.
I can´t prove you wrong because you are probably right in your theory. Where you got it dead wrong is when you state that this lesson is a waist of time. This lesson helped me a lot and i´m sure others as well, where your "obvious theory" statements didn´t. Clear enough for you now?

It's just taking forever to get it down.
And my guitar teacher has YET to show me anything on it. I realize that I don't HAVE to play like this, but it does make fast scale-runs that much easier.
If I could nail the E-shaped hendrix barre chords it would be a lot easier than switching up from standard barre chords to other chords I think. Also easier to go from the hendrix barre chords to scale runs/licks.

I see.

I'm slowly getting better.
It truly is about committing to it and just converting everything you know over to the new style of technique. I am slowly going through my catalog of songs that I know and playing them in the "Hendrix-Style" and it's going well. So far I have converted "Allison" by SLOWDIVE and can play it properly with embellishments using the Hendrix technique.
Next song to try.....Hotel California.

Thats great and yeah basically 'converting' songs to the new style works. I have seen some hendrix style vids of Hotel California so try check them out too. good Luck

Absolutely waste of time!!. Spending more than 3 min and NOT getting to the point of WHY Jimi used the "Thumb bass". This guy demonstrates Gsus2 - G6 and Gsus4, which ALL could be played by barree chord. Now, why Jimi used the thumb is that he palyed with AN OPEN g-string (which is not possible with barree. ("Little Wing + Castles made of sand" is fine examples). And ofcourse, many guitarplayers, who are more than 50 uses "thumb chords"..So, this lesson has no real point, and is a waste of time.

Well, prove me wrong then.
(or leave some quality comment).

I can´t prove you wrong because you are probably right in your theory. Where you got it dead wrong is when you state that this lesson is a waist of time. This lesson helped me a lot and i´m sure others as well, where your "obvious theory" statements didn´t. Clear enough for you now?
