    Learn how to play the rhythm and lead guitar parts to Wind Cries Mary as recorded by Jimi Hendrix from the Are You Experienced? album. I'll cover all the key rhythm guitar parts and embellishments during intro, verses, outro, and of course the great guitar solo.
    Not sure when/if there will be another creative talent like Jimi again, but we got to "experience" him while he was here, and his influences echo through to today an beyond. I lived in Seattle for 25 years (where he is from) got to visit his gravesite, and even met his dad Al who had the same giant hands that Jimi had - crazy to see that.
    Got a suggestion for a piece of a song to cover on an upcoming episode? Leave it in the comments, would love to hear ideas.

    This lesson is quite good. I self-taught myself this song many years ago, and it's nice to see it all brought together for us so very well, and with instructions. This video helps me to solidify my own understanding of the song. It's all done so very well in this video. Much appreciated! A++ !!

    Its over 55 years since this single was released, just before my 14th birthday,
    i never tire of istening to it, every little nuance still is an absolute joy for me,
    and likewise your tuition has been a treat to watch and learn from after
    several reference views, !thankyou for shoveling a glimpse into the ditch of what
    jimi has inspired in you and all of us who hear it and can but wonder 👍😎

    Good morning ,or day/night to all. Love this song and have played it my way for many years. Today I get to learn it properly from a man with a better ear than mine and a really easy relaxed teaching style. I was hooked the moment I saw the first Stones song and I now have three guitars with different tuning ie normal,another with G tuning and the other with E tuning and I have to say my world has opened up tremendously as far playing goes. It’s given me a whole new pallet to work with and my song writing is expanding by the day. All I can say is I wish I had UA-cam in the seventies when I began playing. So, thank you for your vids, your guitar collection,amps etc. All the best from Perth,Western Australia. Cheers

    Just great! Tone, playing, lesson style... I was around 8 when this song came out, loved it immediately. My friend got to see him backing the Monkees in Miami shortly after. Anyway, there is a fairly recent Eddie Kramer video breaking down this song... he shows that there are several guitars playing simultaneously, one just lightly brushing the strings...keep up the great work!

      @@1Keef Hello Mr Keef, Yes, I've heard of psychedelic rock,a label given to music of the late sixties,used by record companies and PR men, to seduce the young people of the day into thinking they were "different"and "hip",in order to make a lot of money.I can recall reading two interviews with Hendrix,where he stated in both,that he didn't know what psychedelic meant.He often stated that all he played was "loud blues",and that's all Hendrix was-a blues player,along with a jazz and country and western slant.I personally cannot stand "psychedelic rock,and even worse heavy metal,which is why l listen to Hendrix,and have been doing so for the last fifty two years.Regarding Johnny B Goode,this was used as an opener that's all,and rarely played.He listened to blues players,jazz and rythmn and blues musicians,and you can hear all this in his playing.As far as I'm concerned,NEVER a rock guitarist,and Thank Christ for that.

    I've seen many other guitarists cover this very same song, but none like YOU!
    Your approach is just what other guitarist need to pay attention too. You approached the song like YOU really wanted to teach it and you wanted everyone to understand what you were showing,
    Most people do song demoes from that standpoint that the audience already knows how to play to the level that it would take to play a song. But. in your case, you completely deciphered the song.
    THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR DOING SO. It's very encouraging to see a musician take so much pride and time in what he's teaching. Your demo was amazing. It left me with something to really practice.
    Please continue to do so.

    I learned this song years ago and spent a considerable amount of time trying to nail his guitar tone.
    I also use two amplifiers, I've an old Silverface Twin Reverb and an older Marshall Plexi.
    Using a clean-ish Fender amplifier really did put the icing on the cake for me.

    I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart... I could have played this years ago if I could have found someone that actually broke it down and explained what chords you re playing and fingers you re using.... I have seen awesome players try the same thing, and they play well and it sounds great but I have no idea what finger is doing what... I get the style but you explained what was actually happening. And the explanation of the Jimi chord will help me with so many others like Little Wing etc.
    You helped me get slightly closer to the best ever. Grin ear to ear. Thank you, means the world to me.
    P.S. For requests, not sure if you've done it as I've just subscribed but would love somw help on "Life Without You" by the great SRV. I wish I was born earlier so I could have seen all these legends... World misses em for sure. That being said check out the young Aussie, Taj Farrant... future is bright with him around.

    If ever there was a good example of what makes a great guitarist just that, you nailed the mechanics of the song and all respect to you, but Jimi had his own special touch that is not something anyone can copy, you will always get close but he like other giants of the fretboard are playing their personality directly in to our ears, that said its still a good vid and accurate, way to go man.
