Jimi Hendrix - Trash Man LESSON

Here's a simple little lesson on Jimi Hendrix's "Trash Man".

This is the version from "Hear My Music".. the superior version in my opinion..

It's tuned a half step down, Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

It's got most of the main parts in it... there's a couple parts i left out, but they're variations on bits shown in this video... I left out some of the soloing because i'm just not there yet.. I've only been playing for 2.5 years, entirely self taught through youtube and tabs, so please bear with me.. soloing is like reading chinese for me right now..

For those of you interested in learning this song, I hope this video proves useful!

Feel free to comment and criticize (politely please!)

enjoy

how did you figure out this song? and could you do another video where you just play it regularly?

@smp156

yea i can start working on it.. haven't really played it at all since posting this vid, and even then, i couldn't play it that well.. still can't handle any of the soloing but i could probably throw some of these parts together that i covered in the vid to make something that resembles the track

Great lesson. Mind also doing a cover? lol

@ra2yuri4

I'm working on it!.. it's tough because i can't play the soloing parts of the song.. this kind of ruins a cover if you can't play it because it falls smack dab in the middle of it.. i'm working on it though (still pretty rough with the guitar though!)

@madmonkeymcnite Jimi almost always had his guitar tuned down a semitone, also called a half step.

[lewars1912]

Well done. Are you still into playing this? If you are and feel ok supplying me with an email address I could type out one or two things for you that you may find interesting. I've tried before sending typed out tab ideas using my YouTube channel but they've just arrived all messed up. I don't play the whole piece but concentrate on the 7#9 chords part at the beginning and some of the "favourite" part beginning at 4.38

hey please learn to play the guitar more feel for play guitar:)

[madmonkeymcnite]

goddamit, it so annoying how all of his songs are tuned differently, but they sound soooo good

@FattyCorpusle I understand. Aside from that, I did learn quite a few from this. Thanks a lot :]. Sucks that there really aren't any covers at all of trash man. It's an awesome song.
