Very interesting how you get into the nuts and bolts of the likes of Hendrix and Page, for those who don't know watch the last 24 hours of Hendrix on UA-cam it's an eye opener.
This is a cornerstone for rock guitar. I’m another lefty who’s played for a few. The trick isn’t in the effects of the amplifier. It’s all about that Strat and his left hand on it. The left hand works like a drum. Rock on! PS favorite riff is the intro to Killin Floor during the 67 Monterey pop festival. That is chords as leads. Thanks again!

1.55am, Strat in hand, soaking this up . Been fooling with these ideas for a while but Dave just gave me hours more to dig into. My playing seldom improves by large leaps, it's usually micro jumps like these ideas that I can incorporate into my playing and where I notice improvements. Hendrix maybe the most influential guitarist in history (so far)
I know what you mean by 'the light went on'! I was into Metallica and Dokken, basically 80's heavy guitar music and knew of Hendrix (of course) but never was too impressed. All the sudden I got Axis Bold as Love and when I heard what Hendrix was doing, it basically erased everything I was into before! When you have that epiphany with Hendrix (had several, the Mozart one was the most powerful) it moves you up a level!! Very nice breakdown.
I've always imagined what it would of been like if the two G.O.A.T. guitar legends, that being JIMI / EVH would've crossed paths in the early years. Possibly did an album together. That would've definitely been electric my friends. Genius. Guess we'll never know until we get to heaven. Great lesson regardless Dave. ROCK ON.🎸
Thank you so much. Your an amazing teacher that in itself is really one aspect. Your a true player with that gift that not everyone get blessed with. But clearly you worked hard studied hard and maxed out on it! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us 👍
Great lesson. I loved the way you broke it down and how to visualize the chord along with the scale. Even for an intermediate player, like myself, the concept was easy to grasp. Great stuff. Thank you.
Bold as love has that swirling solo at the end, and that was always my favorite solo by him. I was like 11 and my uncle bought that album and I think I stopped in my tracks when I heard that.
The first arpeggio driven solo I learned is the end of Bold as Love. Well, to be fair, the Woody Woodpecker theme is where I discovered sweep arpeggios. lols
One of my favorites too, even down to the amazing lyrics, something about that song. Frank Marino does a killer cover of Bold As Love on Live At The Agora.
the half step lower tuning is essential to remain true , , maybe you've noticed how most renditions of Cash's Folsom Prison never sound quite true to the original and that's because he used 1st fret capo and sang it in the key of F , , big difference ! Thanks for the pointers : )
My guitar teacher just had me start learning Little Wing last week so this is timely. Everything you said about the challenges of playing Jimi's partial chords and shifting around was immediately evident to me when I first tackled it, but it's coming together nicely. Thanks David.
i just got into e gutar about 3 months ago because of the 60s 70s music (im 22btw) and i started with little wing and bold as love and of course music theory and pentatonic scale. so far i can play little wing and its so much fun to play it and improvise. very inspirational video :)
The most intuitive instructional Jimi Hendrix Learning lesson I have Eva watched. This just opened my 2021 Album. Yes I’m a major follower of Jimi Hendrix for 27 years I’m now 40. Over the last 3 years I’ve built up a very large collections and listened back to back for well lost count how many hours. I’ve a total of 15 cds with the majority of the albums which are required. I’m still a learning guitarist of just over 4 years but I’ve self taught myself a lot. Can’t wait to get amongst your channel but this Jimi Hendrix episode is if not the best tuition and instructional learner ever to be put onto you tube
I'm 63 years old, nobody ever showed me how to play Hendrix explained like this video. Thanks man. Oh and you youngsters or anybody who wants to know what Hendrix was all about, listen to Electric Ladyland and Axis Bold as Love albums. You'll be amazed.
This was good lesson on 2 levels. 1st great tips to help you improve & blend some of that feel into your playing.. #2 You said Hendrix was to big to be ignored as a guitar player. YES. That really hit me because I've been avoiding his material. I was wrong. You were very right. Excellent video & Thank you very much.
Really interesting approach to Hendrix. It's easy to listen to his tunes being so smooth and flowy and not realize how much articulation underlies them. Great lesson.
@@voronOsphere I absolutely feel the 'other' would have to be Derek Trucks...he totally refined the slide guitar role....NO ONE sounds like him ... so #4 is Derek Trucks..
Axis has been my favorite Hendrix album since I first picked up a guitar as a child in the 70's. Been working on all of those songs off and on ever since. Great lesson. Learned some some alternative fingerings for a couple of things here. Thanks so much David!
Hey David ! That a Choked me up , those two songs right now and it coming from Jimi through you well that touched me man , thanks reviving my talent , it always seems like you heard the same songs ,only you had formal music school of the arts. So it's kind of nice now that I have ear learned most of what you have taught so . You are a wealth of great knowledge my friend.
Great video....you have a very mellow/welcoming vibe. I'm very much a beginner but I saved this link so I can try to learn some of these concepts. This is exactly what I'm after.....that syrupy Jimi sound !
Cool lesson started trying to play Jimi back in the day but did not start to understand until I learned Wind Cries Mary and Little Wing ...watched him in the movie and adopted his noodling to the Thrill is Gone thanks for the ideas
Thanks for the lesson on Hendrix. You put a lot of thought into your lessons and have exposed me to people licks and chords that I never would have tried. Your history and backstories are really good as well. Thanks for all you do. BTW i see you change your pics on the wall but I wanted to ask your frame with all the guitar picks on wall that was up for Vitto Brata, can you give a little background on that?
btw, what type of utter, simpleton, gave this or any of Davids videos a thumbs down???. has to be one of the best guitar tutorial channels out there....sheer brilliance and breaks everything down so even i can begin to understand
I've never argued who was the best guitarist of all time, but who's one of the most important was always Jimi Hendrix for me..One Axe to rule them all!✌
I know people say Jimi wasn’t as technically knowledgeable as some others, but for me Jimi was just so musical and melodic, everything he played was so full of energy and beauty.
So awesome. You make it seem so easy. Syrupy I think you described it as. I would just like to know what the hell the person who gave you a thumbs down was thinking
I pretty much went through the same thing.. knew about Jimi in high school and could play Purple Haze, etc.. but my main interest was metal, Malmsteen and Macalpine, etc. Then after graduating in 87, about halfway through college all of a sudden, it "clicked" and the beauty of Jimi's music opened up to me and I became crazy obsessed, seeking out anything about him that I could find and listen to. I still know so many of his concert recordings by heart note for note. I'm pretty familiar with all the techniques you show in this video but I have to say you lay it out so friggin well and explain it so succinctly. I can only imagine how much more quickly those ideas would fall under my fingers had I seen your lesson back in the day instead of figuring it out slowly over many years. Awesome vid man.
Am I alone in that I watch these lessons just to watch Dave play, with no hope of actually playing this stuff? Some of these concepts have eluded me for 30 years, and he plays them like he is brewing morning coffee. LOL
I'm just mesmerised by your skills and knowledge. I've always loved Hendrix. I was six when Love Me Do came out and was into all the big rock bands and Fleetwood Mac were a real powerhouse band too with Greenie and Danny Kirwan. Then, like you say along came Hendrix(from another planet) from America, the huge country with lots of the musicians I loved Sinatra, Charlie Parker, Coltrane, Miles Davis. So many, I haven't got the space. Could you do a video on the Green Manalishi and Peter Green? Pretty please?
More R&B chord lesson by Motown and Soul Artists and guitarists. Mostly they use telecasters not strats, even Duane Allman used a Telecaster for session work doing Motown type work for and the Allman Joys band which I really like those albums.
Buddy I just came across your channel and subbed. At first I was like “ this guy’s pretty good”. Then I realized you write articles for guitar mags. Then I looked through your past posts and saw so many cool guitarists mentioned. Then I watched more videos and said “this guy is REALLY GOOD!” I really like what you’re doing. Only think I wish you’d do- and I know this isn’t the ideal way to learn, but it works for me- is to somehow provide tabs for these licks that you breakdown. Things go by quickly and it’s be cool to have a visual reference. Thanks for what you do!
Hi, David. This was a great breakdown of Jimi. This helped me a lot. I just wanted to say after following your channel and Facebook page for a while that you are an incredible, open minded guitar player and teacher. Not sure if it's something you're interested in but you belong in the limelight more. I think any professional touring band would benefit greatly with you as their axe man. All best to you and thanks for the knowledge. 🙏
I enjoy your guitar channel & your videos. Your Jimi Hendrix Chords videos are great. I love the choice of bands & guitarists you play on your videos. You didn't play any music from any female guitarists or female bands yet (e.g. Lita Ford, Heart, Halestorm, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, The Runaways). Since today was National Women's Day, my request is female guitarists & female rock bands.
Excellent lesson. This was really well thought-out and explained very clearly. I have always loved Jimi, but his music always seemed kind of magical and undecipherable. You have helped to clear up a lot of stuff. I've been getting into Cornell Dupree, and I can see a lot of similar ideas happening. Thanks.
@@Jacksonkellyfreak no not yet! i'll give it a google! This video of him and leon Russell is maybe one of my favorite live sets ever ua-cam.com/video/IaHxPi9dM7o/v-deo.html
@@squirrelseer YES! That was an awesome set! Insanely good. Here's the link to the whole concert. He did a couple with Clapton. The whole track list is in the description and the entire thing is great, but like I said JJ was the star ua-cam.com/video/f2RVHs9F1-8/v-deo.html
Dude, NOBODY has broken down Hendrix and explained his concepts and the sound he was putting down like you have! Well done!!
Love Hendrix, back in 97 I thought he was still alive, I was new to guitar, my dad told me he’d died years ago, I genuinely cried...
Very interesting how you get into the nuts and bolts of the likes of Hendrix and Page, for those who don't know watch the last 24 hours of Hendrix on UA-cam it's an eye opener.
Castles made of sand is such a beautiful tune. Great job breaking this down, you really hit the embellishments chords and scales succinctly. Awesome 👍
Thank you for the post, I found it absorbing as a non player just to see the intricacies of Jimi's genius..
Thanks for this, exactly the stuff I love to see explained and demonstrated! After all these years his music still sounds so fresh and inspiring 👍
Really informative lesson
Would love to learn more from you on these Jimi ideas
Yes! There's always more Jimi to explore with David's approach!
Genius! Keep the soul deep dive coming, Dave!!
This is a cornerstone for rock guitar. I’m another lefty who’s played for a few. The trick isn’t in the effects of the amplifier. It’s all about that Strat and his left hand on it. The left hand works like a drum. Rock on! PS favorite riff is the intro to Killin Floor during the 67 Monterey pop festival. That is chords as leads. Thanks again!
His voicings & rhythm playing were beautiful & brilliant.
I agree ✌️
Unkle Remus, I'm with ya on that, this is an unselfish display of helping to understand Hendrix style licks and chords, and riffs, and double stops in the style of Hendrix theory... he's definetly most helpful with sharing Hendrix guitar trix,
If you like Hendrix, check out another cat by the name of ("Andy Adedort") here on youtube. He's another very excellent Hendrix enthusiast teacher that is worth checking out if you haven't already. Its always helpful to find people that know all the little secrets of cracking the Hendrix mysteries. The more the merroet as far as I'm concerned... peace ~
yeah, David is pretty great
Nice to see Late Night Lessons show up in the YT feed. Hurrah!
Blown away by 12 to 15:00 minutes! The sense of rhythm is great!
1.55am, Strat in hand, soaking this up . Been fooling with these ideas for a while but Dave just gave me hours more to dig into. My playing seldom improves by large leaps, it's usually micro jumps like these ideas that I can incorporate into my playing and where I notice improvements. Hendrix maybe the most influential guitarist in history (so far)
I know what you mean by 'the light went on'! I was into Metallica and Dokken, basically 80's heavy guitar music and knew of Hendrix (of course) but never was too impressed. All the sudden I got Axis Bold as Love and when I heard what Hendrix was doing, it basically erased everything I was into before! When you have that epiphany with Hendrix (had several, the Mozart one was the most powerful) it moves you up a level!! Very nice breakdown.
I've always imagined what it would of been like if the two G.O.A.T. guitar legends, that being JIMI / EVH would've crossed paths in the early years. Possibly did an album together. That would've definitely been electric my friends. Genius. Guess we'll never know until we get to heaven. Great lesson regardless Dave. ROCK ON.🎸
“You end up in this syrupy chord world of Jimi Hendrix” ~ love that phrase!
Nice and sweet with an undercurrent of smooth flow... Perfect ~
Thank you so much. Your an amazing teacher that in itself is really one aspect. Your a true player with that gift that not everyone get blessed with. But clearly you worked hard studied hard and maxed out on it! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us 👍
Your videos are nice and relaxed, like being in the same room. Hope you keep them coming,
Great lesson. I loved the way you broke it down and how to visualize the chord along with the scale. Even for an intermediate player, like myself, the concept was easy to grasp. Great stuff. Thank you.
Bold as love has that swirling solo at the end, and that was always my favorite solo by him. I was like 11 and my uncle bought that album and I think I stopped in my tracks when I heard that.
It's like blasting off into space! A fave of mine too.
The first arpeggio driven solo I learned is the end of Bold as Love.
Well, to be fair, the Woody Woodpecker theme is where I discovered sweep arpeggios. lols
One of my favorites too, even down to the amazing lyrics, something about that song. Frank Marino does a killer cover of Bold As Love on Live At The Agora.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 lol that's a new one on me but pretty cool
@@StealthParrot that whole album is great but it was like nothing else ever at that time

Jimi was just as brilliant of a rhythm player as he was a lead player. He really took the blues to another universe
Wow! What a lesson, regardless of it being an analysis of Jimi's style - this is just a feast of great advise and playing. Thanks, David! 😎
The Best instructor. Thanks Man!!!!
What a great lession. Congratulations from Brazil

Jimi was my 1st guitar hero, then came EVH, then I discovered Zappa...my Rushmore of guitar..
Three of the best ever right there.
Spot on the top 3 undisputed best guitarists of rock.
@@lifegoeson2183 Definitely super innovative!!! All three!!!
You need to add a fourth guitarist to your Mt. Rushmore. That would be the coolest illustration!!!!!
@@voronOsphere I absolutely feel the 'other' would have to be Derek Trucks...he totally refined the slide guitar role....NO ONE sounds like him ... so #4 is Derek Trucks..

Thanks again David. I really appreciate how you go in to Hendrix’s nuances. He was a master for sure and one of the main reasons I got in to guitar.

As a lifelong Hendrix fan and no stranger to every fart of his caught on tape this is an amazing breakdown of his chordal stuff.

ah how nice...a little Hendrix lesson and styles. I dig it!
YES! I just finished practicing Bold As Love over and over again, and now this. 🔥
This was a beautiful and very touching tribute to Jimi. Thank you for your insight.
David, great video. You've inspired me to try my hand at this fluidity, which I have always sucked at.
12:00 amazing 👍
Great lesson. The current crop of Neo-Soul and Gospel guitarists owe a debt to Jimi as well as Curtis Mayfield.
Superb content. Thanks.
