    Wow, this camera angle makes it so damn easy to see what you are doing. This is how I see the guitar when playing! Can't believe other teachers don't do this.

    I love how you explain the reason behind why certain note decisions were made, helps tie the theory to the expression.

    its so true what he says about hendrix´ blues , hendrix´s blues is really something else then the blues of any other blues-guitarist.

    Good lesson, that bend is such a signature Hendrix thing. While I agree, his playing was hard to pin on any other blues player because of his strange bends. The closest guy as far as big bends and someone known to be one of his inspirations is Buddy Guy. Buddy as you probably know as far as earlier electric blues players probably did more of the big bends (as well as Albert King, but his was more about his upside down pull down to stretch bends) than earlier electric blues players. Just an opinion of course. Anyway cool lesson thanks for breaking down the riff!

      Elmore James inspired Jimi's double bends! and you can clearly hear and see it done on Jimi's new arrangement of Red House at the 69 Woodstock performance!

    Anthony. This is brilliant. You have cleared up another mystery for me and I'm sure many other Hendrix fans. I often hear that odd sounding...but very cool up and down sort of bend. "Hear my Train" has a very tasty one. But I could not really get what is going on. Thank you so much.

  • @adaptiveagile
    @adaptiveagile 12 років тому

    I hope this isn't a distracting non sequitor, but could someone knowledgeable tell me how I know when it's time to refret? I just had my luthier level and dress the dimpled frets and do a setup for 9s on my '97 Strat. My bends are now getting choked above the XII. Clearly low action is going to be the likely culprit, but the fret wires look very low to me. don't think I'm bottoming out on the rosewood, however. Anyone have any resources for min. wire height? Thank you for your help.

  • @dmcq7271
    @dmcq7271 3 роки тому

    Hey Anthony what gauge string are you using? I find that bend kinda hard to do with the higher gauge string I use. I'm sure that you have talked about string gauges a bunch and I have heard you say that stiffer strings are what SRV runs. I am just having trouble with that bend. Could it be the strings that are making it so hard for me?

    • @dahliafiend
      @dahliafiend 3 роки тому

      Hendrix used nines. SRV used lighter gauge strings after he got sober and sounded just as good to my ears. Use the lightest you feel comfortable with. 10s are a good compromise.
