    Thank you James for this lesson and for Aerosmith Sweet Emotion. Greatly Appreciate all your more than generous instruction. Also, you're gonna find that Player Strat is going to be a work horse. I've had mine for over a year now and i've never had an issue with it, never even had it set up. It was perfect right out of the box and just keeps on going...

    Some of the bends you play off the E in the beginning on 11 & 12 resemble a ZZ Topp sound that was to come years later. Didn't Jimi count Billy Gibbons, then from The Moving Sidewalks, among one of his favorite six-string players?

    There are plenty of exceptions to Hendrix being tuned down half a step. "Purple Haze", "Stone Free", and "Hey Joe" are a few.

    Great lesson. What is the strat leaning against your amp in the background? I thought it was your new buttercream strat but I guess not.

    Forgive me if it's been asked a million times, but how are you achieving that tone? Straight through the amp or are there pedals involved? New strat sounds really good.

      @oldtimetinfoilhatwearer 4 роки тому +1

      Peavy vypyr 100 i believe. If you have a fifty, sixty watt modeling amp with a bunch of options you can get any tone you need as long as you take the time to dial it in

    Awesome surprise. Do you know why Hendrix had a preference for E flat? As far as I know he wasn’t playing thicker strings like SRV did

    • @dsungaripterus2600
      @dsungaripterus2600 4 роки тому

      Maybe to do with his vocal comfort zone. I'm no Hendrix expert but I think he used standard tuning quite a lot earlier in his career.

    • @johnpaul1789
      @johnpaul1789 4 роки тому

      Nick 440hz is not the true tuning frequency confusion it is 432hz the true healing frequency according to many scholars of old kings knowledge jimi knew this and much more his lyrics told more than you can possibly imagine

      He didnt like his voice, Eb is easier to sing, he also played a full step down a lot too, almost as much as Eb, but when he was in backing bands he usually played in standard

  • @ic_1234

    Hey man, I'm thinking of buying a strat, do you find that they are bad for playing pedal-steel-like bends and changing tunings? Also, do you get them decked or blocked? Thanks

    • @jamesjames9275
      @jamesjames9275  4 роки тому

      A hardtail or blocked tremolo would definitely improve the stability for retuning. If it were up to me, all Strats would be hardtails. But the bridge setup isn't such a major hassle that I'd stay away from Strats. I really like this one. I bought it new online and it was priced well below what you see them advertised.

    • @ic_1234
      @ic_1234 4 роки тому

      @@jamesjames9275 Yeah, I agree that all of them should be hardtail. For me, the tremolo is like a gimmick, if I wanted serious whammy bar work I'd get a floyd rose. But yeah I guess it's not such a problem on the tuning part. Thanks for answering!
