Your ability to channel great guitar players like Hendrix and Fruciante is simply incredible. Excellent content you have on your channel, buddy! Subscribed!
Hi Dave. I know these vids are a tad old, but I've only just hit on them. What a trove! I've been trying to play like Jimi, or God, as I prefer to call him, since fist hearing the 'Chile' at 8 years old. I shall spend many a happy hour with this vid series, no doubt. Thanks, dude. Peace
Thank you a thousand times. I needed this playlist of JH lessons very badly. You have made me so happy by teaching the essential Jimi "tricks" and techniques. I am a Jimi fanatic but didn't get a Strat until recently. I have played Les Paul's or LP types most of my guitar playing life. The Strat is a whole new ballgame as it were. You happen to be my favourite player in the world today and this JH Playlist of lessons was especially dear to my heart. You have made me very happy and reignited my creativity. Cheers again for everything Dave.
Thank you! I'm a first year guitar player and you have made me feel less overwhelmed...! Amazing the difference in learning from someone who breaks it down and makes it approachable and fun!
Dave after constantly seeing your videos on my homepage it baffled me I was never subscribed to you.... Thank you for the great content. Love from Florida!
This was excellent on many levels, and entertaining as well. Great stuff as always. I'm trying to picture him in my mind playing Purple Haze on a tele. If that happened, only a few people witnessed it. Noel, Mitch, Chas and whoever was lucky enough to have been there. Amazing.
What a genius teacher. I love these lessons Dave. Your by far the best teacher on RU-vid. Learning so much more from your lessons than I have from anyone else . Genius teacher bud Hendrix also played a cream sg too.
Thanks again really down to earth teaching style and good to be able to take away some great sounds to practice. I've enjoyed both your Peter Green and John Fruscianti series and this looks like being another great one .
Great Tones, Lots of cool info,I've been a fan of Hendrix since i first came across him in the early 70sI hear what your saying about the single coils,But if i remember correctly Hendrix Used his Fly V for most of Late 67 through 1968, And he still managed to get the humbuckers to get the same type tones going on. But them again Hendrix could always get Hendrix tone Why cause he was Jimi Hendrix.
Great stuff Dave - really interesting and inspiring - made me go and pick up my guitar! Oh and the flame’ lamp in front of the strat in the background - absolute genius! Subbed!!
Hendrix's clean playing is fascinating! It's almost like his thumb is a bass player who plays sustained root notes over chord changes. If you have a stubby thumb like me, I'd imagine it'll feel similar if you take a mono synth with a sustain pedal and hit a low frequency note, let it ring and play something over it on the guitar, hit another low note on the synth and then play something else over it on the guitar. While he plays stuff over a bass note this way, he always ends with a lead note that harmonizes nicely with the bass note. All of this seems to make his clean playing almost piano like - a piano which can also bend notes.
Awesome video lesson on Jimi H; I learned a lot especially the major & minor chord play, the practice routines which helped improvising on Jimi style. Hope you make more like on Red House!
Hi Dave, really enjoyed that lesson. Great stuff, finally learned why I was playing groups of notes over the chords while trying to play little wing. Very inspiring..episode 2 next...... thanks
Late to the party Dave, cracking video! its inspired me to move my playing forward...I like the way you have kept it non technical and not made it confusing with theory..good move, that can come later...thanks!
WHAAAAT HENDRIX ASWELL? dave i love you!!! I wish an improvisation, you and john much lovee i really been motivated by u a lot but i just found your channel really late, mb youre just like john dont liking too much fame bc then it becames monotonous idk. Wish I could talk to you in any way and ty for sharing your pasion and not just talking about on what fret do i put my finger? but more indeep Such an amazing man john is An what a great student of his style, combined with your flow its just beautiful. ;)
Thanks Dave for all your videos , I'm steadily working my way through them . I really appreciate the time and effort you put into all this. My question is ( sorry if this is a dumb question ) .You talk about playing minor with major scales together . And at about 22 min odd into this video you combine the A minor pentatonic with the G major.This is described as a common theme of his playing. I know that G major is a E minor shape also. So could it be described as two minor scales played together (A and E) instead ?. I'm very new to the theory side so I'm just trying to understand why sometimes we call something a major when it can also be a minor shape . Sorry for the long question . And thanks again . Your videos have inspired me to be a better player and having Hendrix and John F as our inspirations helps !. Cheers.
Hi Dave, thanks for your work that's really awesome ! Do you have any advice for not cutting the sound of the low E, when you do the embellishement on the top 3 strings ? I can more or less easily gets the chord shape but when I do the hammer on and pull off, I lose part of the sound Thanks 😊
+Dave Simpson I've watched the PG ones too - am inspired to get a Les Paul (I have a Strat) - are the "Tribute" ones good ? I've noticed the lower price v Standard
Great lesson! Thanks! As to the Django fingers, I initially got the Martians from War Of The Worlds, but then felt it was more E.T - which is FAR better. Better than WoW I mean, not Django Reinhardt.
I think I read somewhere that he was drawn towards Marshall because that was his middle name. Interesting to think that Pete Townsend may have had something to do with it...not fully convinced myself but maybe it's true.
Superbly done Dave - absorbing this after the Peter Green lessons - learning that Jimi used minor scale over minor chords and Major over major chords makes total sense 👍🏻🎶 Where did you get the flame ? ✌🏻️
I see u have big hands. a lucky man!! my hands measure 7 1/2 inches. small for someone 6'1 like me lol. most pro athletes have roughly 9 inch hands. I would say jimi's hands may have been up to 10 inches. absolutely gigantic!!
Great video series Dave, thanks. In one of your many videos, you do a Hendrix lick, which I believe you call the coolest lick of Jimi, but I can't remember in which of your many videos it was, do you remember? could you point me in the right direction.
I'm brand new to guitar, and I just got my first electric, a Squier Strat. Do you know how to get close to Jimi's sound on a Squier Frontman 10G amp? Also, should I do anything to the tone knobs on my guitar to sound closer to Jimi?
I would probably have the gain on 7 mids 5 treble 6 bass probably 8 I am sat on my sofa imagining it tho haha have fun learning bro I was in your place a year ago on a frontman 15G now I'm on a marshall cfx100 ss keep at it brother your guitar will be a friend for life
+Ashley Mann I do have many reasons but the main ones are the cost of keeping a Valve up running and also i prefer the consistency and reliability of Solid State. Also the CR120 is my dream amp. It does exactly what i want. :) Thank you for watching. :)
I have a Jm60 and it's a great amp! It was my dad's and he gifted it to me as my first amp when I was 12. It has been my at home amp for pretty much my whole guitar playing life.
My squirrel hands can't do some of Jimi's magic, I need to use my pinky for those hammer-ons. To help your fingers get used to stretching like that you could try strumming C shaped chords like the very first chord shape in the Under the Bridge intro till your hand finds a natural way to rest there.
I know this comment is 3 years old but I know some people who have trouble stretching their fingers for the scales. He uses his ring finger for the scale but you can use your pinky.
