My stupid thumb is too short so I can’t even use it. No thumb chords for me. Oh well, still love playing my guitar everyday. Thanks for the lesson. Great job 👍🏻
The chord is WAAAY older than Hendrix. It was the chord every guitarist played for "Hold It", the most common set capper that let folks know the band was about to break and would back in 20 minutes. All through he first half of the sixties. It comes from James Browns "Hold It." (1961, Link included here). Wait until the sax solo starts and you can hear the guitar player playing the chord. Jimi likely played it in any band he played on the Chitlin circuit. You hear it between numbers on James Brown "Live at the Apollo" at breakneck tempo. ua-cam.com/video/lmDNARD2siA/v-deo.htmlsi=eF8k0oE8dH3UEuob
7#9 chords of course predate Hendrix i.e. Chitlins Con Carne (Kenny Burrell) and All Blues (Miles Davis). What makes Jimi's voicing unique is that on the guitar if you play an E7#9 you also have the open first and sixth strings. With some distortion this gives the chord a really unique flavor.
You must be kidding I knew that chord when I heard it. I'm a self taught lead, rhythm and five string guitarist and many years experience. This may be ok for beginners.

Totally great Hendrix lessons. Love you John from Warren in England!😎
I've been playing that chord shape for years not really knowing what it was called. Thanks for clearing that up Jon!!
Brilliant lesson, thanks you!
Enjoyed this
One of the first songs I ever learned.
The E7 #9 Looks similar to a Beatles chord in taxman, but played a tone lower on taxman
My stupid thumb is too short so I can’t even use it. No thumb chords for me. Oh well, still love playing my guitar everyday.

What’s wrong? Can’t you play six string?
Many years experience, yet you never took the time to learn how to play “Zip it… nobody cares”.
Good lessens
I’ve heard of a “Malcom young chord” ; Open G with the muted A string.
He should have two chords named after him, his B5 with an open B string….
Great job but how about wooly bully watch it now 😮 secret chord Sam the sham
Some people call the sus 2 chord the Prince chord
I always considered the m7th chord the Beatles chord, and the sus4 chord the Springsteen chord, etc. obviously Hendrix didn't invent the the 7#9 chord
Hendricks is the only reason I ever learned that chord.
and you can't even spell his name right ....brilliant...
I remember now .. I learned that chord from Mel Bay . It sounded so bad I didn't care about it till Hendricks.
The "Jeff" chord....it consists of 13 notes in the key of H.
Seven sharp9 ABCDEF G
