Guitar Pilgrim Hendrix a virtuoso soloist not by a long shot. His solos sounded like he played with 2 broken hands & were out of tune. As for that innovative fuzz u speak of that was the absolute worst tone ever. Sounded like a cat being raped. What he was & will always be is the greatest rhythm player ever. Imagine If Hendrix could see a guy like Jon 5 or Bucket Head play. He would shit his junkie hippie pants. What are you gonna tell us next ? Johnny Unitas was the greatest Quarter Back of all time too ? Oh but you don’t follow American Football your a soccer fan lol.
Jonny Sac dude, a little harsh to say the least. I agree, the guitar greats of today or nothing short of amazing, John 5 etc included. But think about this for a minute. Jimi never had an army of predessors before him to learn from. The players today have had more influential players to draw from than Jimi had! He WAS the guy setting the pace. What he was doing was revolutionary and hadnt been done before. His song writing skills still stand up to this day in my opinion. His impact is still felt today, sadly not by yourseld, but give credit where credit is due and remember the likes of John 5 and Bulethead would likley agree that Hendrix was a master in his time and likley influenced them both.
Nice tribute; it never hurts to be reminded of Jimi's brilliant songwriting and unique ultra-cool approach to combining rhythm and lead guitar parts into the seamless, exciting guitar style he was so rightly renowned for! You nailed it!
@@carltaylor4942 Yes sloppy, dirty realy...This dude is too clean.. ofcourse this is his showoff video,but I'm sure that if we kicked him in the gutter for ten years he'll come out a better player...
such a clear picture on youtube...clear presentation, both with behind and before the hands, no wasting time talking, you let your guitar do the talking ! Beautiful playing. Thank you. !
I have learned and been able to play Hendrix better after watching this video once than dozens of people slowly trying to teach me how to emulate his style. So easy to see it clearly at normal speed and then play it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yes absolutely love this style of video because for advanced players this is very much a lesson, without needing to explicitly be a lesson for less advanced players. For us who can pick up most songs by ear, it's still super helpful to see visuals of fingerings and such, gives a lot of great ideas.
Hey just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your channel. I don’t comment often,but after seeing the quality you put into the production of your videos, your no-nonsense way of speaking, i had to comment. But the real star of the show here(and the reason I subscribed) is your PLAYING. It is so inspiring to me to hear someone with knowledge, but the TALENT to back it up. Your right hand strumming is just absolutely killer. Just wanted to let you know your doing a great job, keep it up!
Thanks so much for that kind comment brother, that means a lot to me! I was having a shitty day but your comment reminded me why I started this channel, to help and inspire as many people as I can to play the guitar, thanks boogieplex!
...you are one very insightful person- Not many people have the ability to come across so calm and comprehensive and keep a student's attention and enthusiasm from start to finish. You are a passionate performer & your videography is stellar as well-
Hey brother,..just wanted to say I have been chasing Jimi for 47 years. I knew from jump street that he was light years ahead of everyone. My experience with him was always listening to him thru the headphones. Even with the best of speakers you can't hear everything he's doing because of his multi track recording. I never saw any footage of him till years later. So the music and his message of love was the thing to me,..but mostly that unbelievable quality that drips from his playing. Keep up the good work brother for not many appreciate his genius and his complete changing of how one looks at playing guitar. Jimi was a musical prophet in my book and no comes close to his feeling and his fluidity. Some have tried,...all fall short! And remember people,...after the artist,..only the copyist!
Wait Until Tomorrow. Axis and Little Wing! Awesome. These songs shows what a genius Jimi was. Remember he played all these chords and fills/licks while singing too. Jimi's rhythm guitar is what distinguishes him from the pack. Great job GP!
Most people miss Jimi’s awesome rhythm guitar skills. Your top 7 list hit most of my favorite Hendrix tracks. The whole “Axis Bold As Love” album has that wonderful marriage of rhythm and lead guitar simultaneously. The only bad part of your video is watching you play and realizing I’ll never even get close.
Love the way you approach the teaching of the song especially the play along segment displaying the chords. Takes a bit to figure out which changes are happening on the 4th beat sometimes but all in all really, really solid instruction and techniques.
Brilliant. Thank you. I think you approach this exactly the right way round: chords first then embellishments. Everyone who plays guitar learns that after a while, certain ways of embellishing chords become so second nature that you then have to learn how to vary them! You bring out with beautiful clarity that Hendrix is working out a chord sequence then adding the embellishments which came naturally to him. This also came about I think because he was concentrating so hard on expressing the feeling that drove a song. It’s a joy to watch you play and see you responding to this feeling.
SO glad I found your channel. I am 68 years young and have been trying to play Jimi for 50 years. I still cannot. And then SRV, your videos show me so much. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you brother, I'm still working at it myself, it's so much fun to play jimi hendrix although one can never match the man himself, he was one of a kind!!
This is the best lesson in the genre that I've watched in many years. You came up in my dailies by accident and for once I'm glad I clicked on it. Well done.
Message of Love has so many tasty fills in it... I remember when I first heard it, that little break in the song about halfway through gave me goosebumps. Jimi's style is effortless and timeless.
Your guitar skills are impressive all around but of all the guitarists/guitar pages I follow on UA-cam, you're by far the best rhythm player. I enjoy watching you play guitar. It's obvious how much joy it brings you...
Thanks for this. I've been fascinated by Jimi's rhythm playing for decades and I feel it's very underrated. Love the way you play these songs and I'll be trying them out for sure.
Whoa!!! Who the hell is this guy??!! That was beautiful!!! This guys probably got the best right hand I've ever seen, PERFECT timing, very happy I found this.
I love your approach to the guitar ... I have subscribed , rang the bell and look forward to your classes! I think you are a one of a kind, like Jimi! and your skill set is outstanding!!
Have always known you were a good guitar player Thom, but in this video you have really showcased just how talented you are and, in particular, how wonderfully connected you are with Jimi's music. Very enjoyable to listen to - thank you.
I thought he did, only, it was in Jimi's language. Your ears, eyes, hands, soul, experience knows/learns to differentiate so you're following your own path rather than repeating what has gone before. "Can you dig that? Heh heh".
Another great video. I was (and still am) a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix and had the good fortune to see him live at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970 shortly before he passed away. However, I always felt a bit intimidated about trying to learn to play his songs as they seemed so complex and revolutionary. I wish you'd been around 50 years ago when I started to learn guitar! My 16 year old son took up the guitar just under a year ago and already has several Hendrix songs in his repertoire. I envy him for all the learning resources out there on the net.
@@GuitarPilgrim Showing my age! You're right. With hindsight, it wasn't his best live performance but I was at the front wearing a turquoise Hendrix T-shirt so I wasn't in a position to make objective, reasoned criticisms ;-)
I only found this video today, but that was after I watched four others you created. I'm pretty hooked and a little spooked by how talented and introspective you are in your playing - a bottomless glass of the way I wish I could play. This particular video, besides being Jimi, is particularly appealing to me because I generally play rhythm guitar, with bits of solo thrown in. But really, I wish you lived down the street because I'd be hiring you to improve my playing. Thank you for your efforts.
Well one great electric and one great acoustic. I think it’s so cool how u play the white Strat exclusively for the electric stuff and I see u do have a couple different acoustics ..... I love the Martin. I’m down to my fav two guits as well and absolutely love it. I have a custom built tele and a Gibson hummingbird ag 2018 antique natural . Montana. This way I always have two that are playing exactly like I need them too.
You must be one of the not recognized sons of Jimi, indeed!! Thanks god you took a guitar!!! Please do more video tutorials of Hendrix songs!! Amazing sound by the way,..
New subscriber... Thanks for giving us just enough to encourage us to learn without being too basic or too complex. This is perfect for intermediate level students, I Love it. Thank you!
It is tragic how so many people, even guitarists, who think of Hendrix as not even worth mentioning now. I am so grateful for you bringing his " behind the scenes " work to light. He was self taught and discovered systems of his own along with the ones current to his day plus much more; it would take a book to write, Thanks again. Glenn
Smash that like button if you like this video!! :) Also big thanks to all patrons for helping me create more videos!
Awesome! Outstanding Guitar Play, would like to see more maby in a little deeper detail? Hang on

Nice tribute; it never hurts to be reminded of Jimi's brilliant songwriting and unique ultra-cool approach to combining rhythm and lead guitar parts into the seamless, exciting guitar style he was so rightly renowned for! You nailed it!
That was very impressive. Jimi's rhythm playing was somehow loose and precise at the same time, and you've nailed it.
I've heard him described as "Sloppy, but in a good way!" Says it for me. So relaxed but with total precision.
@@carltaylor4942 Yes sloppy, dirty realy...This dude is too clean.. ofcourse this is his showoff video,but I'm sure that if we kicked him in the gutter for ten years he'll come out a better player...
It's impressive to see how you DON'T play note-by-note but instead you nail the perfect Hendrix style... amazing.
main reason why famous guitarist became one: to prove their family they're not an idiot.
YOU ARE AMAZING ON THE GUITAR. I HOPE TO PLAY AS SMOOTH AS YOU DO SOME DAY.
Lou Cof perfect adjective... smooth
Los keep practicing and u sure as hell will play smooth someday
such a clear picture on youtube...clear presentation, both with behind and before the hands, no wasting time talking, you let your guitar do the talking ! Beautiful playing. Thank you. !
I have learned and been able to play Hendrix better after watching this video once than dozens of people slowly trying to teach me how to emulate his style. So easy to see it clearly at normal speed and then play it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
For more advanced guitarists who like watching fingers do things that would take weeks to work up, this is a very educational video.
Yes absolutely love this style of video because for advanced players this is very much a lesson, without needing to explicitly be a lesson for less advanced players. For us who can pick up most songs by ear, it's still super helpful to see visuals of fingerings and such, gives a lot of great ideas.
You just condensed the genius of a whole career into 9 minutes.very impressive teaching and playing ....you are doing good work,thanks.

Nice to see you not distorting the signal and playing it straight, unlike many other guitar tutorials on UA-cam!
Message of Love has so many tasty fills in it... I remember when I first heard it, that little break in the song about halfway through gave me goosebumps. Jimi's style is effortless and timeless.
You have a fantastic talent, and superb amp-side manner for a teacher. Mesmerizing.
lol, "amp-side manner", I like that
5:05 Little Wing ... Lovely. Thank you.
I'm so happy to have stumbled upon your channel! MAN I love it!!!!
You killed that Wait Until Tomorrow riff amazing
Such a pleasure watching you play.
Your guitar skills are impressive all around but of all the guitarists/guitar pages I follow on UA-cam, you're by far the best rhythm player. I enjoy watching you play guitar. It's obvious how much joy it brings you...
Beautiful soulful playing sir, thank you
Einfach klasse...immer noch und immer wieder. ... Und Super gespielt meine Hochachtung !!!
I love your style of teaching and explanations
Thanks for this. I've been fascinated by Jimi's rhythm playing for decades and I feel it's very underrated. Love the way you play these songs and I'll be trying them out for sure.
these are amazing, you should do more hendrix videos. HE IS GoOD
Needs care or you get Janie's lawyers down your throat faster than you can say, cease and desist.
Congratulations man! Jimi Hendrix will always be a reference in making the “simple” into "magical".
Nice picks! Good to see some songs from Jimi's catalogue that are often overlooked. Quality playing too!
Sounding AWESOME my friend, EXCELLENT playing!!!
Again another great example of some of the best guitar playing. love your channel.
You have a good touch man!!! Bravo!!
I could watch your playing all day! Great video 👍
LOVE the clean tone!!
Your editing is the best I've seen for a guitar playing channel! 👌🏻
similar to paul davids
Whoa!!! Who the hell is this guy??!! That was beautiful!!! This guys probably got the best right hand I've ever seen, PERFECT timing, very happy I found this.
Thank you so much. Your channel is one of the most interesting guitar channels ever.
I love your approach to the guitar ... I have subscribed , rang the bell and look forward to your classes! I think you are a one of a kind, like Jimi! and your skill set is outstanding!!
Man you are a great player! Respect!
Have always known you were a good guitar player Thom, but in this video you have really showcased just how talented you are and, in particular, how wonderfully connected you are with Jimi's music. Very enjoyable to listen to - thank you.
Do more of these sorts of series. People sometimes overlook how good Jimi's writing and rhythm playing was!!
Fact.isnt just the great playing but the lyrics, and he had songs. Mostly dont
Wow, you must have practiced the broom too! I'll be damned if I'm not going to be practicing Hendrix riffs all day now! Thanks, nice video
Your playing is so soothing
Your guitar skill is simply amazing
I love watching you play guitar! Like listening to Jimi!
Fabulous homage to the greatest ever ...thank you guitar Pilgrim ....
Thank you brother, I am glad you enjoyed! Cheers!
Love the video! You have captured the essence of Hendrix perfectly.
I could spend hours watching and observing your right hand technique man.
shit yeah! how happy I am youtube scrubbed my internet browsing for a new guitar and decided i would like this channel!
Awesome picks and playing Thom!
I learned so much about jimi's style in this one video, compared to other many videos i've watched
You have so much feeling in your playing sir, it's inspiring to watch. Thank you 👍
Awesome performance, what a playing dude!
You have a great feel for the style of rhythm Hendrix played. Very well done.
congratulations...excellent video. makes you see something you usually don't think about.....
Beautiful, just beautiful
Love these 60fps videos. Keep em coming !
Impressive. Nice tone and playing!
your playing is sooooo beautiful and relaxed. It's a pleasure to see. My dream is to become like this.
Man, that is some great demonstrations!
You sure have a gift from life in your guitar playing capacity in learning other playing's Technics. Thanks for making me a better guitar player..
How you tell a story in the middle of the tutorial is amazing
Great playing, but was expecting to hear you talk about the progressions!
And so was I...
I thought he did, only, it was in Jimi's language. Your ears, eyes, hands, soul, experience knows/learns to differentiate so you're following your own path rather than repeating what has gone before. "Can you dig that? Heh heh".
Excellent you play, someone nou who is Tocak??? Jimy says Mr Tocak is the best Guitar player for me. That is thru.
Me too. This is click bait
Your awesome. Whether I take on the lesson or simply watch and listen.
Awesome playing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love your teaching style....just
Found you today
Love the Crystal Clear image!
That was really cool man. Great job!
You're great, amazing playing and that strat has such a great tone! One of the best channels on YT

again, absolutely swell video friend

The best I’ve seen on you tube at really getting Jim’s feel . And sound.. brilliant
Man you rock and you inspire !!! Thank you !

Thanks you champion. Appreciated down under 👍🏻🎸 Australia 🇦🇺
This video gave me a new appreciation for Jimi Hendrix
Bold as love, man.. Jimi was a genius
That is some awesome guitar playing
Your knowledge and ability to convey it is immense.
