Thank you so much for your post. I've just recently returned to my playing after losing an arm 26 years ago. I found your demeanor very comfortable and especially how you looked into your camera very personable. I took in everything you said and surprised myself when I started my hammer on pull off's (one hand) in all keys over my fretboard without having to think too much. CHOICE!
Sorry to be critical, but this bassline is like the beginner's version. This is nothing like the recorded version of Hendrix's (bass) arrangement. Jimi actually played bass on the record, Noel Redding had to learn Jimi's bass part for later live performances. Bob Dylan has commented that Hendix's version was the definitive one.
If you want to be critical then don't apologise. This tutorial is aimed at the beginner and not the technically correct audience so ease up. One thing which I will wholeheartedly agree with is that Jimi didn't even need Noel, Jimi played Lead, Rhythm & Bass alone, just lucky Mitch was around!
Gil, you’re so fucking smart! MANY people who land on something like this video ARE BEGINNERS. Go PRACTICE instead of wasting people’s time with your stupid comments!
Perhaps one may have lost an arm in a car accident. I've restrung my gat back and forth a few times & have found it hard to decide. So now I have two guitars and play them both left and right handed. In what I thought was a very limiting factor (one arm) I have found a liberating, unforeseen bonus!
Lots of stoopid comments here. GOOD INTRO to this rather important song. The worst offender accused your video of being too simplistic - here’s the link for complex players - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qcuNi48lOG0.html WAY TOO MUCH for a beginner to chew on! Keep up the good work! (Not scaring off the new players)
