@aliahrocks disagree with what ? the little wing vid you have on your page is definitely wrong, so I'm not sure what you're using for comparison..

@StLcYy86 .. well it's hard to play right, and in my opinion, the only way is to play every single note exactly the way he did. I 've been doing it for years, and I still can't get exactly his sound. of course, one can argue that to be a guitarist is to be creative, and take poetic license with his song, but I would argue that it's near impossible to play it any better than Jimi. However, I feel that trying to play it the right way gets me closer to what he was feeling as a musician.

this is sweet, this is an awesome instructional video, I would make the caveat that jimi used thumbs for the roots on a lot of his chords, like frusciante emulates, which is what allowed him to write the way that he did, you get the same sound without using the thumb chords which is sweet but I would also suggest trying out a version where you thumb the roots; it's a lot harder but gives a completely different feel to playing, it allowed him to hold roots and play licks while holding the root :)

OMG thank you you ARE A LEGENDARY!

[JohnMalcolm]

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to spell it out note by note, with clear diagrams.

Now jake0the0muss and the rest of us can find it our hearts to take the trouble to get it right, instead of using "heart" as an excuse to get it wrong.

Power on man!

@dojomania I'm sorry, I posted this message in error. It seemed to me to read a bad review to your tutorial (actually it was a similar video, posted by someone else) and I was trying to express my disapproval. Apparently I got the opposite result. Very funny! My apologies.
