I had a chance to open for Hendrix in 1967. We became good friends, He showed me a ton of licks that he played. That you are playing, Great Job and a Awesome Lesson Dude !Thaddeus " Tad " Proshansky East Coast Productions.
I learned this song a few years ago using the tab Andy transcribed and listening to the studio version over and over. Then I started incorporating a lot of SRV licks in it. After feeling really comfortable with the groove of the song I started doing a lot of my own stuff with it, although I still keep a lot of Hendrix and SRV key licks in it. This song is a blast to play and if played right, most people will look at you like a guitar god if you nail it in front of them. It’s very impressive to other people with the wah and that brutal rhythm especially if your tone is on point. Anyway, I’ve seen more than couple transcriptions of this song and I’m amazed at the incredible detail of Andy’s transcription. I don’t know how he did it. It is clearly the most detailed and accurate I’ve ever seen. I don’t play it exactly like the record that much anymore but learning those “little quirks” that he talks about I feel has made me into a better player all around. I would recommend to anybody who wants to be a good guitar player to study the shit out of Jimi and Stevie’s music. I’m grateful to this guy Andy for his teaching. Only critical thing I have to say about this vid is his tone is awful. Way too fizzy
SO MANY people get this wrong man, and it is GREAT that at least someone got this right and taught it correctly in perfect attention to detail. THANK. YOU.
So much of this record is in Eddie Kramer's production. In addition to fading in and out he is CONSTANTLY panning the guitar and drums all over the place. I think he puts some kind of Leslie effect on the drums as well. The result is one of the most epic records ever.
Rick Daly says; Man-o-Shevitz ! iv'e got CD's from eddy ten years ago ! now i find this 2014 , but it's 2017 ! we'll all be dead with a guitar in hand if this keeps up ! learned alot through the years thank you very much !!!!!
I've seen a lot of tutorials on this song this is by far the best I've ever seen people just don't get that into depth with this song you got it down to the words with whatever hendrix's is decorating the cord with that's some real fine intricate detail thanks Andy that's awesome!
23:29 to say this...if you're looking to nail the technical perfection, this aint the tune. Dial it in, work that wah pedal, and play it dirty as hell.
You don't need to do it 100% accurate. You surely can do your best and imitate Hendrix's playing. And that's cool. But give it some of your personality. Have fun with it. Make it your own.
A lot of people teach the basic structure of the song but none of them get the proper groove and all the quirky details like Andy! Thanks for the great lesson! You know a small drop of titebond or crazy glue could fix your missing fret marker. Just kidding, I know you earned that through many hours of playing
Andy Aledort is a great guitarist, but I wish he would replace that dot inlay that fell out. At least put a reliced one back in there if you don't want to ruin the mojo.
John Kirkland When I went to this link a week ago I ended up on a PayPal page with no indication of price of the DVD. Am I doing something wrong??? I desperately would like to get this DVD and the other Hendrix DVD's for that matter.
Wow, I didn't realize that. I bought mine about 2 years ago. I did find them on Amazon though - www.amazon.com/Guitar-World-Experiences-Electric-Ladyland/dp/0739059122
I'm in Britain and a friend in America sent me over the six hour long DVD edition of this with EVERYTHING Jimi played on EL on it. LickLibrary UK have also done a complete Electric Ladyland DVD. There's also a shorter version of this GW EL dvd with just six songs on it. Amazon US is your friend.
Anyone know of any info on Voodoo Child, the 10+ minute one on Electric Ladyland? Whenever I search for anything there only ever seems to be info on this....slight return.
Find the full six hour long Guitar World DVD on how to play Electric Ladyland. It's got everything off the whole album and this video is just a part of it. You can also buy and download a digital version of the full DVD. Or pirate it if you want. The version of Voodoo Chile you seek is on this DVD.
Cheech Chong "Terrible teacher" there may be some truth to that... but on the other hand Andy Aledort is by far the most accurate note for note Hendrix instructor you'll ever find. Giving lessons for a well seasoned guitarist like Andy is probably pretty much boring...
mrbsred1 Andy Aledort has been performing on the Experience Hendrix tour for many years, I really doubt you could find better note for note Hendrix player..
