3 Great Jimi Hendrix Licks! 

This is clearly the best Hendrix licks lesson ever. ❤👍🎸

Who knows! My favorite JH album Band of Gypsies

there's only one king in the entire guitar industry and that is "jimi hendrix 🎸"

Wow! This is so cool. When our lead guitarist quit my teen-age garage band two weeks before a school dance at which we were supposed to play, I thought "I can show my brother a basic bass part(which I was playing) as one bass note per chord, and I can teach myself to play lead; after all, since I had two weeks, hiw hard could it be! I thought, I should cop a lick or two off Jimi's band of gypsies album my younger brother had bought. I put on "who knows" and started to learn the basic licks at the start, when I noticed that when Jimi went lower in the riff it was the same notes but just lower down. Once I realised these notes had five different shapes on the geography of the fingerboard, I realised you could play anything in a three chord song on these frames or boxes. Without learning any more of the song, I spent a couple of ours committing these "boxes" to memory. I didn't realise at the time but a year or so later, I saw that if you moved the first shape down a few frets it was major sounding, and you could move continually between both starting points of what I learned years later,!was the minir and major pentatonic, and blues scales. For years I used these shapes by ear without knowing what they were long before I ever worked out a major scale and it was all because it hit me within two hours one afternoon trying to copy licks of a Hendrix record.(Suffice it to say that my first performance of lead guitar wasn't a walk in the park as I thought it to be, but tgat afternoon's discovery lit a fire under me and turned me into a lead guitar improvisational fanatic which lasts to this day, a couple of months from my 70'th birthday. What an awesome song and how it inspired me, although to this day, I've never bothered to finish learning the song, but branched out into 24/7 experimentation and thirst for improv! Thanks for featuring what was to me a landmark moment in my musical life.

Jack has the most tasteful musical vocabulary, always a pleasure to learn from this channel. He really know which notes sound the sweetest over any chord. Thanks to Jack I've learned the most valuable lesson in my 12 years of playing. I take the time to slow down and really pay attention to how each note feels in the context of the chords and how it ties in to the overall movement and dynamics of the melody. I'm finally making music and not just noodling scales up and down aimlessly with no musical impact.

Now this is exciting! Love that you’ve covered some Hendrix.

Love this Jimi lesson. Please keep them coming as we adore Jimi’s playing & yearn to learn more! 🎸❤️

I really appreciate the way you teach,in a very lucid manner.

Love Band of Gypsys - probably my favorite Hendrix release. Great video, Jack - please do more like this!

SWEET!!! Those licks are smooth!!! Thanks for posting Jack

Another awesome lesson, these licks sound really vocal to me,like there is a conversation going on! Beautiful. Even the spaces between phrases have "colours" to them if that makes any sense, it's the best way I can explain it. I have started to hear things in a more intense way it's magical..as always Jack thank you ❣️

Thanks sgain Jack. I love to hear your beautiful smooth timing and subtle sense of dynamics. Regardless of what you teach I enjoy just to hear you play. Good explanation of those phrases that have stuck with my memory for many years.

That double bend is wild. Thanks for this! Some really cool stuff here 🫡

Silky smooth unrushed great tone great phrasing great practice work flow Thank you for sharing a lifetimes work of listening and practicing to capture the smallest details and how to bring them to life . Outstanding Lesson Much Gratitude

Fantastic! Brilliant lesson. Love the tone.❤

Thank you for the great lesson Jack. ❤❤

so clean! Thanks for this vid and your approach, you're an incredible player :)

Thank you so much for your videos. You've inspired more than you can imagine. This Hendrix lesson is epic. Thank you...

I have always enjoyed your lessons (and learned a lot!) and your tasty playing. But I just stumbled upon a video of you and Kirk Fletcher (who I also love), and felt your solo just rip right through my heart. I can't put my finger on one, or two or however many characteristics that did it for me in your playing - there's just some kind of magic there. It's the same thing that Larry Carlton has; I can't really tell what it is, but it's there. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, as valuable as your lessons are, listening to you playing is the best lesson I've ever had. For that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I believe Band Of Gypsies shows Hendrix at his best! Thank you for the great lesson Jack!

One of my fav videos!! Thanks!!

Love your content, my heart sinks when I see you with that guitar. I sold a 72 that looked just like it. Sounded great too.

Love it! It has never been explained so easily! Thanks Jack!!

Excellent timing and feel to these licks. This is what “all the right notes” sounds like

Awesome! We need more Hendrix videos! 🤘🏻🔥

Hot, Hot Damn! Jack be lettin' his Jimi hair hang down, 'n' EVERYTHING! I've come to accept your many varied influences, and diversities in your playing and lessons.. but, didn't expect Hendrix!!! Love/Loved Jimi!!! Very Cool, Jack! You're a natural at laying out lessons for those of us who appreciate it! Keep 'em coming! You can't offer enough Hendrix and Blues, for me!

great lesson and very nice licks!

Fantastic. Thanks dude

Thank you Jack. Great lesson.

Really awesome Jack 💚

jack, you are the best on youtube!!!

This is incredible, Jack! You managed to capture an essential portion of the iconic Hendrix vocabulary that other instructors on here sometimes struggle so much to put across. Well done! Cheers from Poland!

Dude! I've been working on that Hendrix cross string smear thing (Terry Kath uses it a ton too) for weeks now and using the second finger was the trick -- THANK YOU!!!

Amazing lesson!

Fantastic player and teacher.

I bought that cassette Band Of Gypsies in 1983 and wore it out learning Jimi's moves. The tape i had included a killer version of Lover Man that i haven't been able to find since. Great insight to his style and technique. Cheers Jack

Great mate, you should do more of this stuff you do it well.

Hendrix!!! Love you for learning Jimi stuff

You've got a fantastic touch on the guitar, Jack.

Really great. Thanks.

Cool lesson Jack!

So relaxed and cool,,thanks

One thumbs up is not enough.. especially the first one is an eye opener for me. Thank you..

Nice job explaining those articulations...you have that strange jimi timing locked in and even after years of blues its still mysterious and elusive to me!

Good Stuff Jack

Probably the coolest and most proficient guitar teacher on RU-vid. I have seen almost all others.

Great lesson! Love Jimi!

You have amazing feel and groove

That is one one of my very favorite guitar solos. That one weeps...

That first compound bending lick from who knows in C minor (C# position at the 9th feet because of the E flat. tuning) is awesome. The second from the same tune where he mixes major and minor pentatonic s and gets a Mixolydian flavor. On the third lick he shows how much mileage he gets out of box 1. He is j it at remarkable and whenever I go back to Hendrix I am always like "oh yeah, that is Why he's my favorite player.' something with Beck, early Clapton, Page, SRV Kossof, Trower, Frank Marino, of course pre Sammy Van Halen but mostly the British blues cats plus the legends from America like Robert Johnson, Lead Belly, Big Billy Broonzy Muddy Waters, Son House, Howlin Wolf, Albert Collins, Lightning Hopkins, T Bone Walker, BB King, Freddie King , Albert King, Otis Rush, Elmore James, Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Buddy Guy,SRV now Josh Smith, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Trucks, John Mayer (not his pop stuff but his ability as a blues player, Kirk Fletcher or Eric Gales and these guys taking blues on it's evolution

Great video , so good to hear someone teach a newer variety of hendrix licks , and by the way just bought my 1st Tele after 30 years of playing and what is it that makes these axes so great to play , im a high gainer and reach past my Jackson and evh to grab my Tele now , have fell in love with it , great job on licks , new to chanel

Thanks!

Quality as always, jack. 👍👍👍 Do you have any tips on audiation for improvisation? I hear music in my head but its tricky to put on the guitar. TY

JH was the king of Funky… his music is so ‘rolling’…🔝🏆

Great lesson and a pleasure to listen to. Your tone is awesome, not trying to exactly match Jimi’s Strat tone, but making his licks your own. I really dig your feel. Tone is all in the hands, right?

Thank you for posting Jack, this lesson and your playing are playing are just super. Are you using a fuzz here, (which one)?

your tone is great in here. what is the signal path? what fuzz pedal? excellent lesson as always!

Hello. You have an awesome sound! Do you play with heavy pick or medium? Thank you

I learned that first bend move and missed the rest of the video because I started rocking the fukc out. head to restart the video

Great lesson Jack. Isn’t the Tele at the neck pickup a lovely place to live.

Can't believe the tone out of that tele

Damn thate good

hi Jack , yesterday i was watching a video of yours which was called soloing over chords with chord tones i think, anyway something like that, my question is by soloing over A Major chord and starting in the Major third which is C sharp, can i play C sharp Major appregio , it will work , thank you in advance

At 2:40 you talk about catching the g-string with your middle finger. It sounds great, but I learned that lick by bending the b string up then catching the g-string with my ring finger at the top of the bend and releasing the bend on the same fret. But your way sounded almost the exact same. Did Hendrix do both ways or did I just happen to come across a bad Tab?

Nice ! Are you using fuzz?

ENGC band of brothers!

Jimi-isms. Great lesson. 8^)

BOG Best live rock album of all time!

Jimi Ruch

Thanks man. Who knows is my favorite song.

Stupid question. What key are we in?

Always one of my favourite Hendrix songs. Rainbow Bridge do a great version of this song.

double bends are hard lol

I'm not sure about the picking - You're not using alternate picking and you're not using all down or all up. Do you have a pdf that explains this? It's quite a long video with index links - Are picking directions covered elsewhere in the video? Thanks.

1:99

That intro was bad to the bone

I get thrown off by so much bending. I know it sounds cool but to better present the coolness I prefer you play the the same notes w/o bending, then play the bending . Then I will be justified in stealing bending idea.

Great work, Jack. Hope we meet some day when I make another trip to the US. 😉

you didnt teach the 2nd lick?????
