How to play Voodoo child (chile)

[SUPERROCKER1970]

hi, mate!! rock n roll never die!! good job!

[aerlingus18]

those are small hands

[MarquisEstelle]

Good job little guy. You may have a future as a teacher or a musician. Always work to better yourself, your playing, your teaching. Work hard to make sure all your presentation is as good as it can be.Hard work, more than anything else, will get you where you want to go. Don't worry about trying to look and sound cool, or what people say. Don't be arrogant or cocky, and you will be able to tell who is giving you good advice, and who is just acting out of hate. Thank you for this video.

[altocumulas]

thanks alot bud! you did a fine job in helping me ,,,,as for you grundfukle you suk big time

[roadkil2]

Give the little guy a break! At least he is being constructive. At least not a glue huffing gangsta wannabe.

[altocumulas]

hey this old really thanks you i was 16b when this song came out and now i finnally learned it ]

[jahmez1000]

U need a new amp or turn the gain up because I have the same guitar with a Fender Mustang amp but yours sounds kind of cheap... Good playing though

[Szeba86]

I've heard worse, you've missed some parts.... but for the love of God don't play this on the clean channel!!!!! in the old days they had fuzz now in the modern world we have over drive, over fucken` drive, use it!!!!!! it's the gain knob on your amp if it's not labeled OD, does wonders combined with the wah

[azaz321able]

@gaiolinn HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[citrix99301]

I gave this video a definite like, and stoked that the player is showing such passion for his age. I got a bemused chuckle at the name "stratocastergod" for someone showing how to play a song that helped define Jimi and SRV.. Peace and RESPEK.

[SomethingPrettyNew]

better than bein lazy at home watching backyardigans or trolling youtube like my little brother

[djordjepejakovic82]

KID JUST KEEP ON PUSHING, AND TO ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE MOCKING THIS KID I HAVE ONLY ONE THING TO SAY "SUCK MY COCK.

[Dtrunit3]

[mar777ism]

[deamonsslaves]

[toddweller]

Nice job! Keep up the great work! Rock on!

[PanzarMetal]

A guy said a guy did, so kid as you named yourself stratocaster god, then become one, if not dont bark harder then you can bite.

[toothmaker22000]

sucked



[ZijnErNogNamenOver]

Nice, but because of the tensity of recording youself you played too fast, but that doesn't matter, you need concentration for that, and if you're that young you don't have that yet, but keep going, if you can play this you'll get far!

[jd666ify]

most people watching obv cant play the song thats why their watching a video called "how to play voodoo child" So all the negative comments are quite ammusing because obv they cant play it and some little fucking kid can. Suck dick haters

[RAOclisto]

nice work u helped me alot

[jyomat]

Practice a lot!!!!!!

[aljourg23]

Good work

[simplexiammine]

Keep playing! Great job guy! :)

[artisticrusian2046]

keep it up kiddo. glad you play guitar instead of waste all your time watching cartoons like my little brother

[chiroloko]

very very good and thank you for lesson

[1440Gaming]

well this was 3 years ago so this KID is now a pubescent acne ass mess so i will make fun of him all i want

[grotemachoman]

@1440Gaming ik bet you're a pubescent acne ass mess yourself. go get a life and post normal comments

[bmxconnor09]

1) i am 14, i see that he was much younger than i at the time of this vid, so i know that even i can learn this. 2) you too can see that hese a kid, so any mistake you make you feel that you need to punish him for it 3) hese just having fun, hese clearly posted a video to help others, this is what he believes is the correct way to play it so let him be, its his video let him do what he wishes

[TyNieJa]

It's too complicated... may you explain it one more time???

[PALAZZIOOO]

Похвально.

[MetalBlare]

Well done man, don't lissen to those jealous motherfuckers, keep on rockin' and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER stop playin' !

Greetings from italy !!

[warrocksniper2]

If you're going to make an instructional video at least make sure that you're right!

[warrocksniper2]

wrong!

[Dragonforce1271]

i think the actual song is a bit lower apart that this video is amazing for your age well done :)

[MrLaser2]

man, you should have god a yamaha pacifica they make a way better sound for only a bit more money.

[jeepsrokon]

great job! now type in "voodoo child guitar" and its the 1st one. I think yours is better.

[zomgitskevin1]

its a hard song to teach get off his ass damn the song is all over the fret board

[lorddelafunk]

Good Work Kid.

[gruntfuckle]

Why applaud mediocrity ? this kid sucks, credit were credit due

[leobakkerr]

Easy to follow - great job !

[MrSuicideMan]

keep rocking \m/, ««at least you tried

[42bigmark]

well done kiddo : )

[bjwallwork]

cool thanks man this helped a lot! good guitar playing by the way  :)

[mfowlie6268]

instead of starting with 9 on the g try doing a hammer on from 7 to 9

[alexproboi]

[chrismfoster14]

@alexproboi lmao wtf kind of question XD

[fo31amp449]

a friendly advice ;D use vibrato

[TheHuMoCa]

This is Slight Return not Chile!!

[breynolds1337]

Nice job man! Screw the haters, they only hate because ur a kid, but I dont care if u were 2 and played this good, as long as its good!

[insomproducts]

i think thats a squier not a fender normaly black strats have rosewood fret bords my strat is tobaco sunbust and it has a maple one like that

oh and kid you suck so your name should be

shitatsquier

[Punk1984Rock]

I'd love that many views for my vids, check em out !

[jchuck100]

for a god u sure are young

[catshumpcats3]

he helped me

[odyssyus]

......I like the way you explained it......very good....a great strarting point for us beginners. But your video is two years old....remake this video and show us the next steps.

[agreydee]

really useful, keep them coming

[mwh7671]

this is the chinease version lol



[palitodlselva]

@mwh7671 sorry man, we are not rich jerks like who has a money to buy a wahwah.

[xflil]

if to be kind, this is not voodoo chile, it's voodoo child slight return that you're trying to play there.

[ajaswinski]

dude, it got 76,000!

[telemere9]

great job. keep it going.

[UndeadSniper69]

Não tem pegada...vai treinar mais!

[mrkarter505]

keep jamin and loven jimmy brotha thanks for the tipig! too all u critcs suckin on jimmy"s dong down there, keep on suckin it!!!

[El3xar]

Don't worry kid, you're starting out great. Keep it up, don't let jamming the guitar go and you'll be rocking soon enough.

[squatro]

idiot

[MrSouljaboytellem95]

I can believe it.That kid has a Fender and he doesn't know how to play the guitar.Dawn

[Trapar137]

Practice at least one hour a day, four to five for as much as you can.

[daveawebber]

74,000 thats because its Jimi

[euromano]

fair play to the kid, reckon the detractors wouldn't even know one end of a guitar from the other. If this kid plays like this now I'd really like to meet him/her in a few years time.

[julianforrester]

for all those that offered less than constructive comment for the kid, this is for you...

WANKERS!!

encouragement is a far more useful lesson for a budding guitarist no matter how long he/she has been at it.

and for Dkr84, why dont you entertain us with your arsenal of classic guitars, and dont forget the serial numbers for authenticity !.... limp wrister

[esdenaze]

The world is filled with uptight shitters and about 90% of the comments on here prove it. He is a KID, at least he is playing guitar at the age where most of you lot were suckling your mothers tits. The world is going to shit, I tell you.

[violentplayground4]

@esdenaze he should wait until he is good enough before exposing himself on the world so what if he's a kid? life's tough and he's poo, he may be the greatest guitarist who ever lived one day but right now he should keep practicing until he is ready end of.

[esdenaze]

@violentplayground4 It's youtube, not fucking CNN. This allows you to put it into perspective. He is a kid, he is having fun making a lesson on youtube, it's not because you had unsupportive parents or got pestered during your youth you need to put other people down. I'm not saying they should give him an award, it is not because it's youtube or internet that you can just be harsh because you like it, you would not act that way irl, although you maybe think he sucks. It's called courtesy.

[violentplayground4]

@esdenaze hey if someone wanted to learn how to drive would they go to a driving instructor who could barely drive??????? hmmm I want to learn how to be a chef ......... so i'll go to someone who can barely cook.... oh.. no actually I wont, if the kid wants to put him playing up great good for him (should wait until he's good enough, like all the 10 year old buckethead kids with bee in jar amps on here) but to put a video up trying to teach other people?????????????

[violentplayground4]

@violentplayground4 as much as i hate bs tv like american idol and x factor u know when simon cowell tells the retards how it is? thats how it should be here. He is not good enough YET end of.

[1998trevergray]

@esdenaze

he is good but theres nothing wrong with breastfeeding asshole 

[RhythmicRampage]

you need to use more legato my small guitar budy

[Sticky1254]

Come on, add some feel to the song, You keep picking so hard and aren't putting any vibrato or emotion into it like Hendrix did.

[helloiseeu]

jesus guys, he's just a kid trying to have fun. why spoil it for him?

[bcoster100]

@helloiseeu

its not a him!

[techiins]

stupid kid tryin to copy the guitar god -.-

[Dkr84]

are you a girl or a 12 year old???? jesus christ your voice is like a chalkboard screetch and you don't know what you're doing. you're nowhere near a stratocaster god. let me guess, you have a squire not a strat? figures.

[Uunamedd]

How to play this song when youre in chile

[rayq78]

are you really justin beiver? what was that biver?

[TylerHansbrough23]

do u have to have a guitar pedal to play this song?

[MadJack122]

@TylerHansbrough23 yes a wah wah pedal

[fude86]

dude

[ne4to777]

Voodoo child plays Voodoo Child)))))

[wizrazer]

dude not to be trolling (im not trolling) it was a nice try but you didnt play it at all like Jimi your missing all of his nuances and the feeling isnt there + you didnt play it the easiest way possible which is how jimi played it.

[jaysteels]

Man, you own o.o

[zero7nemesis7]

you sucks 

[XxGUITARAMBARxX]

fucking haters dude ur good dont listen to them im twelve myself there just mad cause they cant play as good as us ;)

[MultiParkourfreak]

wieso dieses (chile) ??? des heißt voodoo child ;)

[queltroiodellospiga]

ahahahah

[FatLadyKiller]

The fact that there is a kid out there that likes to play Hendrix is awesome to me BUT calling yourself "StratocastorGod" and giving this .."Lesson" is a little much man.

You need to build strength in your fret hand and BEND those strings buddy. These licks are full of bends but you took the easy way out and just did pull-offs.

Keep jamming man, but learn how to play the song before you try to teach it to people.

[8ballpan]

you are too small to give lessons specially hendrix....keep on practise...good luck my little friend!!

[mrask897]

this is the easy way to play it but u sound great

i play it the harder way and trust me its much harder than this version

[scottfashe]

voodoo child and voodoo chile are different songs!

[tehnoobworks]

nice man, keep rockin'!

fuck the haters!

[davido3497]

i subd you

[gbc77000]

I love that a 12 year old kid is giving lessons on how to play Voodoo Chile! Priceless.

[billhen]

Why have you replaced your Ernie Ball's with some elastic bands ?

[Tracker932]

i hate kids who think that they play, and showning off. you just destroyed a jimi hendrix song, asshole.

[zamorak12980]

my ears burn its all rong first finger on the g sting on 6 fret to d on 7th for the first 2 nots

[reMyx1000]

C'mon man.

Hammer ons, pull offs and slides.

[2Beastly2Care]

S.R.V is a genius

[naornelken]

dumb fuck

[Xabre1357]

Put in some hammer on and pull offs to have the sound like hendrix

[jamesabandonedme]

is that squire, mexican or usa

[gibson90kb]

Look ive been reading comments latley everyone keeps knockin these tutorials. If you have a rude comment dont waste your time. There is NO wrong way to play a guitar. You can do whatever the hell you want. 5 stars bro!

[Linoows]

Thx you, youre really good :)

[rockhard4eva]

coud u plz use the names of the strings rather than just 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th so eadgbe

[NateDaGreat519849]

haaha i love how small his fingers are, makes my fingers look inhuman

[stairway2heaven123]

hay kid wrong notes

[NateDaGreat519849]

i think he made those himself because the actually notes are G string 6th fret, slide down real quick to the 8th fret, then back to the 6th, then 8th fret of the D string, then back to the G string 6th fret, the rest is pretty simple, but i dont want to write a novel as a comment :)

[stairway2heaven123]

no those are the same sound but wrong place but good try and keep on rockin

[NateDaGreat519849]

wait then wat are the real chords ?

[stairway2heaven123]

try putting your finger on the G string 6 fret then slide to the 8th then back to the fith fret and then go to the D on the 7th play once then back to 6th on G then to the D on 4th play that twice then go to D string 6th fret (repeat) but if you have anymore questiond ask and remember use a wa wa pedal and distortion for this or it wont sound perfect

[NateDaGreat519849]

thnx :)

[GALLILAO]

i just started to learn and im 60 so if he can do can i who knows

[TheBilic10]

ahaha u are not going so well with that aren't u?

[roseform]

well done son keep the mojo working you'll influence alot of other young musicians I'm sure

[dudu58]

good job! you help me a lot.good one you kid.not a easy song.ed smash

[SNCDeeDee]

you're better then most of the youtube jimi hendrix 'tutoral'

[fosseseptique]

great kid I'd be so proud if he was mine...hats off

[bobobozolio64]

actually I need to know the bridge but thanks anyway, and keep that middle finger up on the fretboard

[brodeur722]

Incorporate some bends dude. You have a good ear for the song though.

[raapruben]

you ur the king

[jamesmanortiz]

is it me or is he playin it a half step higher and no i didnt search for this i know how to play this ive been playing for 4 years but im more of a jazz player but this stuff is cool to good lesson i guess but dont play like a robot your a half step higher i think idk

[sasukefire33]

WOW nice o.o

[prototypep4]

i really wish he had some rythm to it man thats wat jimi was all about its not just the notes its about playing the fuck out of the guitar man sure be in the right key but GET INTO IT MAN NOT ALL ROBOTIC LIKE.

[bigtimv]

Dude give him a frickin' break! This kid's got it right. Just give him more time and experience to get the groove into it.

[164jord]

i agree with you but i swear you inted the 'Experience' pun!

[wolf111111]

i have the exact same strat

[nufcadam123]

Very Good Tutorial!

[sich69]

HOW OLD IS HE????

[xboxuser951]

wot dick

[airoxygene]

TO U ALL... if u R soooo good, why u r lookin' for a lesson!? C'mon... he's just a kid.

[blardosplats]

To what you said airoxygene, I can only add Amen!

[RockNRollerGR]

Boy you just need a little practice....i mean a lot!!:P just keep on playing u will be better one day..:D

[kabtastic]

not bad for your age, only thing is in the very beginning, hammer from seven to nine instead of pull off.

[kunaiman34]

wtf this is totally wrong....jimi played it and itm was way more complicated

[RATTTHEPUNK]

well thats because it was jimi. cmon nobody will ever sound as good as him

[PilotDoofy]

Actually he has the notes correct, he just needs to get the tone with better technique. No one with hands that small can expect true jimi tone.

[thebygraceband]

hey good job man you realy helped and your understandable

[line6kr3w]

but good job

[line6kr3w]

why does everybody say this is voodoo chile?!?!?! they don't even sound alike

[fuelfreak108]

The song is called Voodoo Child (Slight Return) NOT Voodoo Chile. They are two completely different songs. Voodoo Chile is a 15 minute long slow delta blues-ish song, while Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is the classic crazy jam song everyone knows and loves. (or should)

[Sarvaci]

You guys are sad...don't pay out on him he is like 12.

[knumbknuts94]

who cares about his age, with a name like stratocaster god people expect him to be really really good as if he had been playing for about 8 years

[Sarvaci]

It is just a name...and If I was really really good I wouldn't have a name like stratocastergod...a name like that gives you a sense of how young he is. Maybe 8 years fromnow he will be a strat god.

[timidercord]

that isnt a very good name. just cause u own a ffender stratocastor doesnt mean that you are a god. i own a red one and im not boastin my hat off.

[kunaiman34]

ya no kidding im not callin myself the sg god

[timidercord]

this hasnt taught me very much

[wowkwondo]

how did this get 40,000 views?

[DimebagHetfield696]

@wowkwondo This video is most popular with: Male 45-54

thats how ... (PEADO *COUGH COUGH*)

[RapeAllRayPaul]

@wowkwondo How did your comment get 7 thumbs up?JK it feels niice to have a high rated ccomment i use 2 have 1 but gets taken down after a while....golike 71

[boxersniper]

Now its 79,898 views

[00invert00tapper]

@wowkwondo

Because it's a video made by someone with passion for what he does. 

[lcusworth28]

startacaster god eh? jimmi hendrix was a stratacaster god if u carnt play it good dont post it on youtube and anyway wats there to be nerves about

[Kimbazz]

He doesn't suck at the song! He's nervous. And dont put up those comments. It's just pointless.

[lateralusgmod]

please dont teach if u really sucks at the song....so ur not like ,,,,like this wait ,,,no,,,like benunu!

[CaptainP00face]

Stop being immature everyone starts somewhere, if the kid wants to try Voodoo chile, let him try.

[RiskyBerny]

AHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA

[kylethedarkness]

stratocaster god huh? what are you like 6?

[Chavee49]

Hendrix will be turning in his grave!
