[ScottWittenbergDrums]

The rhythmic complexities of the subdivisions of the beat are INCREDIBLE!!! By the way I love your tone, are you running through a Marshall??? Also are you left or right handed?

[donottawaguitar]

[fabiopaige58guitar]

[Renegadeprof]

[Finester92]

[muffincheesepie]

[BluesMannus]

[fmartinez1897]

Hey, great vid man. Any chance you can tell me what effect you're using?

[funbeautyall]

great lesson

[waLkerPoi]

it wont let me watch u!!! my mouse is playing up.... ooh no my leads on my keyboard LOL

[nerdy989898]

This is a fantastic lesson. You're a great teacher. You are so clear and so is the view of your fretboard and strings. I like how you repeat pieces in segments and put them back together slowly and fast. Very thorough and easy to follow.

[brobro565656]

Sir, can you PLEASE tell me the chords before the solo ?

[metallicacdc]

@brobro565656 If you're playing in standard tuning, it starts out with a Bb major chord, goes to a C major chord, back to the Bb maj, then to Ab major. The actual song is tuned down a half step on all strings, so the chords are Bmaj, C#maj, and Amaj--which reminds me, this entire solo needs to be shifted down 1 fret for everything to coincide with the recording do to the tuning difference.

[metallicacdc]

@metallicacdc Whoops, mean "due" at the end there, not "do."

[decilepsy1]

[GuitarJaeger50]

To hell with the missing note and the chords. I too want to know how the hell you're getting that sound!

[ItsIvanJones]

you forgot to mention the note you play right before the barred hammer-on. after that bend release you hit another note that some beginners may get hung up on. i know it frustrated he hell out of me why my solo sounded like it was missing something

[ZigZagRunner]

nice whats it sound like on acoustic

[saiyan195]

what are the first three chords being playn in the beginning?

[pierredex]

@saiyan195 bar chords (major and minor)

[saiyan195]

@pierredex No not here it looks as though hes playing power chords but he's not what I wanted was the name of the chords thanks though =-]

[amateuraddiction]

[euskalguitare]

[Nielsen199511]

lovely!

But, how goes the first 10 seconds?

[ernesto8949]

Bm, A, G , A all on 6th string

[offdtop]

I can't catch the extra hammer on/pull-off @ 4:32, I've watched it a dozen times what is it? I think it goes right at the 2:40 mark? Great lesson by the way

[skipplet]

@offdtop Yeah he kind of skipped over explaining that part. It's just some simple bends, pull offs, and plucks of the G and D string at the 9th and 11th frets.

[Antonio12610]

great lesson man! learned it quick. i know what my band ill coverin soon :)

[xxMikeHawkxx]

[RMDOTE7]

What amp effects and amp is being used?

[lXlRIVERlXl]

reverb

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

i think a marshall or anyother amp with low treble/ reverb

[ToploadedKris]

man, you've got jimi to a tee - keep playing man, liking your sound!

[neomedcihan83]

B string hammer on 9th to 12th fret is false at 3:13..it must be 9th to 11th fret..

[amin242]

the sound us unbelieveble !

[hellswinter]

And could someone please tell me the chords Jimi uses during the main verses? I know Bob Dylan used Am, G, F, G, but that doesn't sound right for hendrix' version...

[ak231510]

Very nice video, however, you did not explain to everyone the part right before the hammer on from the 9h12 on the b string. After you bend the 11 fret of the g string twice, you bend up again and release it to the 9th fret, then play the 11 fret on the d string once, and then go to the hammer on 9h12 on the b string. You do that when you actually played it, but you never explained that part, so anyone confused about hearing extra notes in there, that is what was missing. hope that helps.

[evanrosen13]

Haha, that's funny... I was about to post something sayin the same thing. Well... What he said!!! ^^^^

[hellabeast34]

@ak231510 thanks man thats really helpful

[ColonelCornMuffin]

@ak231510 Thank you so much! I've been so confused becuase whenever I listen to the song, I always finish before Hendrix does becuase I missed those notes! Thanks a lot man! :D Happy playing!

[omydamn]

Well Done!! Thank you. I had no trouble following along. Nice tone on your guitar!!

[StrumTheStrings]

E Flat standard tuning? Is that just standard tuning? I wanna do this right. Great video by the way

[MrBRandP]

its Eb tuning, so the strings are tuned:

D#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#

basicly all strings one half step down

[hellswinter]

So, would it be more accurate when playing in standard tuning to shift every note down a half step? (Aka starting with the slide up to 12, and the bends on the d string at fret 10 instead of 11)

Thanks for the video, I picked it up in just a few minutes. Realized my guitar needs to be setup though, some buzzing on the frets higher than 12th

[hellswinter]

Err, actually, just noticed that the info says he's playing it tuned down already...so In standard tuning would it be better to play everything shifted UP a fret? (Slide going up to 14 and bends on d string being at the 12th fret...)

Hmm...what key is this in?

[MrBRandP]

nope... everything should be shifted 1 fret down, so instead of slide to 13... slide to 12 and so on.. all 1 half step down..

[hellswinter]

You're right.

But I'm still confused now. What key is Hendrix' version really in? The guy teaching is playing it in the Key of C Minor (Using the C Pentatonic scale by starting at the 9th fret when tuned down a half a step), but when I looked it up I kept seeing that Hendrix played it in C Sharp Minor.. If it's in C Sharp minor, then the guy playing here is playing it correctly for standard tuning, and everything woul have to shift up a fret (slide up to 14), if you tuned it to Eb standard.

[MrBRandP]

nah i am pretty sure hendrix is actually in c minor...

i mean i know that he is in Eb. He almost always is... thats just how he played.

[zoley2005]

He's playing tuned down a half step already. If in standard he would be playing C sharp minor. Since detuned, he's in C minor, using (mostly) the C minor pentatonic with a major third in there to make it walk from time to time. The Dylan style chords transposed to this key would be C minor, B flat major, and A flat major.

[denston1]

nice video mate !

but finding it abit hard just wondering if u could send me the tabs

thanks

[jakesdman]

thanks!!!!!!!

[musicman9one]

Thank you very much! Thank you, thank you, thank you! lol Sorry, just you have no idea how long I have been trying to learn this. All videos on here did not explain it and the tabs were just wayy too weird. I finally learned the first solo. :D

[Lopplt]

Thx mate, love this song (Hendrix is general is pretty damn awsome).

[mybuttstings]

jimi hendrix was a lefty but bought a right handed strat and to accomodate his left-handedness he strung his string opposite of what they were supposed to be- low E is strung where the high E is, A is strung where B should be, and D is strung where G normally is and so on

[jellyman187]

awesome video dude!

[eaglesrule89]

what are the chords you use in the beging before you slide to 13

[omerikog]

b \ c#m \

b\  a

do it twice

[arsenalfanforlife]

did u string ur guitar the hendrix way?

[jbgsk]

no. you can tell when you watch him play. that be sick if he did that though

[sammusicman11]

what is the hendrix way?

[pantswearer66]

String the guitar the Hendrix way?

Of course he did- he bought a left handed guitar, flipped the nut and wound the low E backwards. Why would anyone do anything other?

[BoonPlatoon]

Ok, I'm guessing if you're playing this in standard tuning, then everything is just one fret back, right?

Jimi played a half-step down so I guess it's only logical...

[jackdanielsparrow]

It says in the info that he tuned his guitar down to E flat standard. So those frets he's playing in the video are all correct.

[BoonPlatoon]

Yeah, I noticed that after my comment. Thanks for the heads up, though. Much appreciated.

BTW, I forgot to mention that this is a great lesson. Good job!

[Stratacaster45]

thanks alot man, was easy  cause i have your same guitar lol, good teacher

[shane101010101010]

your guitar sounds kicken chicken!it rocked the house!

[galacticox4]

damn you! I just a few minutes ago decided i was NOT going to try and learn this song and just be happy and practice the other songs i already don't fully know. And damn you now i started this one too. love this intro. all your fault. lol.

[tomcooperlive]

slow it down explain it more then this will be a good video cos at the moment you go way off

[jhat25]

pause the video, then practice, retard

[slimyesli]

no... it sounds like 10 to 11

[Robb0UK]

Brillaint. much appreciated.

[Raiinnmaann]

nice teaching

[nigelpassage2]

love your reverb

[tomasp92duggan]

what gauge string do you use?

[slimyesli]

looks like 12 or 11

[ltownguitarplayer]

This intro is a bit messed up to play cause hendrix had mad feel, but great lesson

[Boris4video]

Great video! What are the opening chords before the first solo? Another video has them as Bm, A, G, A, but that doesn't seem like what you're playing. Thanks!

[Pacificaner]

Great work - apperantly an easy Solo, but the details are realy hard to set as perfect as you did. And if you miss this small details it sounds ugly (i know what im talkin about ;-)

Your Video helps me a lot to advance my technique, thanks!

But you missed a smal part at your explantation. At 2:50 should fallow a hit on the bended G String 11th Fret - then release the bend, release die string down to 9th fret and from there playing a little tone on D String 11th fret. Just look at 0:17 ;)

[TexasRattlesnake88]

You said it. and thanx a ton for adding that missing bit, greatly appreciated!

[electr0funk]

thats some insane tone, how do u get that

[guitarist123NZ]

[guitarmadgibson]
