About the tuning..I met Noel here in Pittsburgh with his band at the Decade lounge some time ago. Honored to shake his hand. Asked him about Jimi..He pointed to his thumb saying Jimi's thumb could span the width of the neck. After the mastering sessions for that album, Jimi took the masters to a party that night for preview. Upon returning to the studio, Jimi realized he must had left one of the tape boxes in a taxi he had taken. They then attempted to remix If 6 was 9, to their dissatisfaction. But, Noel said he had a copy on a 3 inch reel 7.5 ips at his flat. They found Noel's wrinkled copy of the original, literally ironed the tape out, transferred it to 15 ips, and that is what we hear. So the speed of the tape was slowed down a bit during the transfer.
Changing the tape speed to fit a "groove feel" was common practice in 1950s, 60's,70's - which also imho throws out the strict adherent arguments of the =440Hz, vs A=432Hz crowd. Often we all just tuned to the venue house Piano night to night
I really did not fully understand how great of a guitarist he was. Back then, I had no idea what he was playing, only that it sounded so cool! I knew nothing about playing and I still know very little but enough to understand how good he was. Wow and thank you for doing this for us.
Awesome 👍😎 6/9 chords, that makes total sense. Just another astonishing thing that Jimi left us to marvel at and learn. Thank you so much for redirecting me to this awesome lesson.
Nice job on this one. If you’re staying in the Hendrix category, I would request you do more deep cuts like this one. Literally any of the other tracks on Electric Ladyland ASIDE FROM Voodoo Child and All Along the Watchtower would be great.
all of your lessons are great. i really appreciate that you showed us the tuning in advance of the lesson. no need to play the solos exactly like the record. jimi was the type of artist who played them differently every time out. 6/9 chords...cool.
I think Hendrix had to use the Major Pentatonic because of those 6/9 chords have the major 3rd? I'm not sure why Hendrix is switching between C major pentatonic and E major pentatonic? because this are two different tonal centers, not related keys
I think because that first 6/9 chord on the solo on the 8th fret could be interpreted in 2 ways, either a Bb 6/9, or you could look at it like a C7sus2. Same notes in both, C, Bb, D, G, C. So if you play C major pentatonic, that has C, D, E. G, A, and zip guess they all work over that chord.
"Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer May I land my kinky machine.." 🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸 Wow!! You picked a rather obscure Hendrix tune; very cool...wasn't this on Smash Hits, only and not a studio LP??
Your teaching is truly outstanding. Your skill in playing by ear adds a depth and richness to your performances that is truly admirable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙇🏻♂️👍🏻🙋🏻♂️🎸
This is NOT tuned to the Record. I just came from axis bold as love 6 was 9? Im tuned to little wing and I jammed with 6 was 9 in tune very close. I hate playing out of tune, even just little. Your tuned half step lower D
Great lesson...any chance of maybe doing another Guess Who lesson....would love to learn Dancin' Fool song, esp. the solo (which is kinda hard, and there are no official tabs online that I know of)
Love this, but why tune to Jimi when your not referencing the original audio?...this makes no sense when were all tuned to standard and trying to learn the song..Keep up the great work..Sincerely.. a great channel...
@@beisimon6967 what? We’re not listening to the original track watching this video..do you not get my point or are you that weak having to defend everybody..if he did the video in standard tuning would be complaining about not tuning down? Give me a break..
@@mikemcconville2495 me? I can still tune to E because I have permission but need to tune down to Eb to learn the song?..your lost on my point..have fun tuning down..smfh
