Watching videos today with interesting subjects but the people talk nonsense for minutes, talking fast, saying nothing. And then I get to this video, you really make beautiful content with ease. Interesting from the first minute. Thank you.
Dude, I agree wholeheartedly. There is a lot of just blah, blah blah on RU-vid except when you get to a Tim Pierce video. It’s always so spot on and relevant. I’ve been playing guitar for 53 years and I enjoy and look forward to his videos and just learn so much from him. I wish he was my brother so I could hang out with him every day and just learn, learn and learn from him.
I so agree. Great video. Very entertaining. I was looking for another section or another way to play a verse in my new song and sure enough this video lit up a room that was dark.
@@timpierceguitar Seriously though. It's videos like this that really show how awesome of a teacher you are. I really appreciate you. I don't comment often but I had to chime in. Thanks Tim.
Also a great video for players that don’t “get” Hendrix. I can’t believe all the ignorant, negative comments I’ve read elsewhere. Jimi was out of this world!
You, Beato, and Keith from 5 Watt are the BEST at telling stories on RU-vid for guitar content. I really appreciate the effort you put in. I don't watch TV much. RU-vid is my television and the fact that so many great personalities put the effort into making engaging content about a topic I love is magical. Thank you, Tim.
....... it's amazing how Jimi was already experimenting with jazz rock fusion at the very start of his solo career .....he was truly a jazz rock fusion pioneer ...
I was a rhythm guitarist when I was in Junior High. After seeing him during his first U.S. tour in Tampa Florida at Curtis Hixon Hall, I was so impressed!, I had to teach myself how to play lead guitar, and, ever since and still today, though I'm retired from playing gigs I still love to play Jimi's music. Thank you for this tutorial!
Another genius Hendrix composition in my opinion would be " Hear My Train a Comin' May 1970 Berkeley California . Yes I agree Robin Trower is another genius of the Stratocaster / Overdrive / Uni Vibe etc . Lisa Dewar and I use to keep in touch . We need more lessons please . Hendrix's live concerts are mind boggling . ( Winterland )
Fledgling guitarists have it so much easier today with videos like these. Back in the day it was 16 speed on your turntable and wearing out records. Lift it up , play it again.
@louislamboley9167 - Yes. That was tedious and difficult and primitive, BUT , that method built up my ears, hand strength, stamina, and I ended up learning how to fake it with 'feeling' rather than exact notes.
@@blueshorecreative3146 - lol! There is no obligation to "play well" while learning "what" to play. There is no obligation to "play well" unless one is getting well paid to "play well".
Great video and the fingering display really helps as it shows me where I've got it wrong. Whenever someone breaks down a Hendrix track it blows my mind that he was able to create such amazing music that was so futuristic for its time, it's like Jimi came from the future to shake things up a bit and expand our minds and he's still doing it today. Thank you for sharing this with us. I did my first gig at 13, I'm now 66 and still learning how to play.
I was 12 years old when "Are You Experienced" was released. My tastes in music were changed forever ! Over the years, I've often wondered about how much truly incredible music Jimi would have created had he not left this world far too soon !
I remember getting that album and just watching that record spin on the turntable while the sound filled the room and more. Sometimes music summons the cosmos into our rooms, you can feel the majesty of the universe.
I heard you were one of the best teachers. But you really do just insert the information into our heads. You have quite a way with guitar, sir. Loved this.
Anyone who has us all venerating in the glorious sonic temple a full 54 years after the departure of James Marshall Hendrix is indeed a very, very honourable man.. Thank-you Tim.. And you are Educating us too..!!
Thanks Tim.....this is great. I've still got the first two Jimi Hendrix Experience albums that my older sister brought back with her from art college when she went to England in the 60's.
I have that same album and in the same vintage. I've had mine since the early 70's and many of the tracks are completely worn out from learning the guitar parts. Back then you didn't have RU-vid or even Tabs. The way I learned was to listen to the track over and over again in sections and figure it out.
That's kind of like walking up hill in the snow too school! Both ways!? Ha! I unfortunately I often wore out the record before I actually learned the song.
Funny.. I too wore that album out. Originally our band bought it because we were going to meet and see them play at a place called the carousel, Theatre in Framingham Mass. It sat less than 2000.. Amazingly, not a month ago I rediscovered 3rd stone and relearned it! Incredible talent! Beautiful harmonys!
Yeah cos Jimi would often try to hide his finger positions when on camera I noticed from many videos of tv appearances and concerts but it surprised me how often he didn't play a strat, he did experiment with Gibson's and others.
I am writing to thank you for the gift of lessons. Currently I am not doing very well with money and being able to receive these free lessons will allow me to advance and give me great joy. What you give comes back. huge hug
I'll always remember I was driving on a highway when I first heard Hendrix. My city had just gotten a rock FM station in the late 70s, and this being the early days of FM radio it was pretty experimental. (They'd play the whole second side of Pink Floyd's "Meddle" album, fr'instance). Anyway, the opening Purple Haze tritones just about made me drive off the road. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Yes, it changed my musical life forever.
Yes, like others here this album changed my life forever. Hendrix was alive at the time. After he died I dropped out, went home and lifted the needle over and over on The Wind Cries Mary until I could play it.
@ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="492">8:12</a> Robin Trower😎 I was in the audience when he recorded his 1975 Live album. I discovered him in early Procol Harum. He turned out to be a worthy caretaker of the Hendrix legacy. Good times. Great lesson, as always. ✌✌
Thank you for having substance to your lesson. I have known this for decades, but your approach is King. This is one of the reasons why his first album is his best. It has so many bonus tracks.
I saw Randy Hansen perform this song live in 1978 or 79. Did all the sound effects. I was floored. So was the crowd. I absolutely wore out at least 2 copies of this on vinyl. Hendrix studio stuff will be listened to 300 years from now.
This is the best Tim video ever: succinct, specific, a demo of the Ultra which I was already considering, and a quick addendum- E6 is like C6 on a pedal steel and E9sus4 is like E9 on a pedal steel with a sus 4. Hendrix even impressed Miles Davis. Give me some sugar, Baby! Yeah!!
Thanks for making an instructional guitar video without crazy jump cuts, zooming in and out, multiple camera angles, whoosh and pop sound effects, irrelevant clips from movies and cartoons, childish comments, etc. etc.
When I was a kid in high school, there was a teacher band that played during an event. They played 80's stuff and some other songsthat I didn't recognize. I asked one of the teachers what songs they were and who played them. It was Purple Haze and Foxy Lady. I bought Are You Experienced that night on cassette and I heard magic. I still get the same buzz now that I did the first time I heard it.
Yeah I was 12 years old and got hold of this single this was early 70s it had Purple Haze and flip side was Ezi Rider I was blown away Hendrix number one forever !!
It’s wild, I’ve not studied Much Hendrix but have been playing several of his “tricks” not understanding how great it was.. I write with octave a lot. Great video Tim! Thanks.
Y’all obviously haven’t been keeping up with the record revolution where a lot of people my age (20yo) are buying a lot of records and actually wearing them out.
@@maxirvin of course we have, its an incredibly small fraction of enthusiasts though. I’m talking about how the overall population as a whole listens to music now vs forty years ago.
My son is 30 he has more records than me but he doesn’t have to play the song over and over onrecord player when you’re learning parts on guitar, he just goes to RU-vid they have it much easier 😊
Ive had that riff in my head for 2 months now and I totally forgot where it came from - last time I heard it, Santana was quoting it in some live concert from years ago...you solved my puzzle Tim!! Ive known this for 40 years but I totally lost its origin in my head THAANK YOU!!!!!
Love Hendrix’s only saw him 5 times, forever changed me🤗😁😂have heard Hendrix in the large traveling Douglas tour bus with Quad Stereo..was moved to tears as memory starts returning.
Very cool! For years I heard bands include this musical passage and wondered why no one online talked about -- and now finally you have. Great video as always!
Thank you for drawing some attention to the “sound collage” at the end of Third Stone (tho I wish you’d played the whole thing!). I think this was an incredibly revolutionary moment in electric guitar music, and I always say, no matter what EVH says about not being influenced by Hendrix, that Eruption would not have happened without that ending of Third Stone. (Oh, and also the amazing noise Hendrix made before playing Wild Thing at Monterey Pop.) Great video!
It's the theme tune from coronation street, Jimmy loved it. The effects are chickens the aliens chose to kill because they didn't understand them. bought stacks of hendrix on vinyl when they weren't popular. There is voodoo chile on a 12" 45 single with crosstown traffic b side. I had a 1960tv from when j Marshall was a cabinet maker. Still have a small stone phase shifer. Arbiter used germanium transistors, they don't sound the same. Jimmy recorded with fender amps but they wouldn't supply them for tours free, Marshall did and fender regretted it forever.
From the inner mind ..to..the OUTER LIMITS.. we can but revel in awe at the soundscape Jimi gave us access to !! thank you Tim FOR KEEPING IT ALIVE with your enthusiasm😇
i covered this song recently on my channel, hendrix while challenging to sing and play live is a real marker and test of a real musician and not just a guitarist, lots of guitarists can play hendrix but how many can accompany his intricate guitar work with vocals? that was why hendrix is the greatest of all time. Your content inspired me to up my game on live sound on my channel. Cheers
Shoving a Strat into the front of a Marshall 4-12 cab has always worked for me. Sympathetic vibration. Used to great effect by Hendrix, Trower , and Ulrich Roth. Today I learned about using the volume control with a gnarly fuzz.
Great insight on JH’s playing, I am truly mesmerized. Until this video I’ve never really thought about Jimi in the studio. Playing live always comes to mind. Of course I know the albums, but to actually think about him recording and composing the songs never really occurred to me. What a sights and sounds that must have been.
guy, what are ya doin? i didn't want you to end the video there! there was alot i was hoping you'd talk about. i first heard this song when i was 12, that would have been '77. this song changed everything for me. it remains my favorite hendrix song to this day.
I absolutely love listening to or playing Ocataves. Hendrix, Montgomery, Benson, Brown or Klugh. They are/were masters at it, you rarely ever hear them anymore.
Thanks for this video Tim as your excitement cast my memory back decades ago to the thrill when I first figured out those chord shapes (also used in "Angel" by the way). Now I just have to immediately fire up the amp and play!
With my limited expertise I have a hard time playing Jimi’s music.. I feel like I grabbed the chalice and started passing out Communion wafers in church..😳 His music is Holy Ground for me… maybe one day…✌🏼
I missed seeing Hendrix. Probably a little too young by a couple of years. But I did see Robin Trower for his Bridge of Sighs tour. I stool five feet away from Trowers, 12 feet away from some Marshall stacks. My ears rang for three days after. Loudest concert I ever went to in my life. Hendrix's octave lick in All Along the Watchtower is one of my favorite solo runs out of all the solos in the song.
Amazing video Tim……which further illustrates that there will never ever be another….how could there be ? The unparalleled, unequalled, unprecedented and totally unique Mr JMH. Thanks again Tim .
Jimi & Mitch made a point of telling me,(when I got to quiz them in march of 68) , that when they recorded both of the first two records, they set up just like a gig with all their gear
The summer of 67, I was already playing in a band with older kids. I bought that LP and Cream's Gears. My first impression was -"what the hell is that? I was a drummer and the drumming is what I thought was the coolest. Playing 'Fire', that was a thing. The jazz drumming was new to me, applied to rock. It blew my mind, the amazing guitar came later.
I recorded in Seattle West studios where Trower, recorded, the engineer said they had several Hendix albums, in studio for reference. Robin Trower followed Hendrix tours, on his own , not with the band. He idolized Hendrix. Well, its a good pick!
Great video, you're obviously a great lover of Jimi's music. I hesitate to say this, but here goes: Jimi came to England in late '66 and often stayed at Noel Redding's Mum's house, where he loved watching one of our long running soaps called Coronation Street. Have a listen to the theme tune, I think Third Stone From The Sun was written 'round about this time!🤭👍
