Like a Rolling Stone - A Closer Look at Jimi's Licks
Вставка

- I'm moving so slow from my surgery that I just wanted to get this series started. I will do a more in-depth look in the next part or parts. I've got this and the Country Blues series going now so I have a lot of work to do. Jimi's delicate attack is what makes this song so sweet. He goes from barely touching the strings to get a clean sound to really digging in hard to energize the Fuzz Face and his cranked amps. I'm using the Analog Man Voodoo Fuzz (Germanium) on this with the fuzz maxed out almost (4:00), and the volume around 3:00. My guitar volume is between 6-7 but I think I liked it closer to 7. I'm using an original 1959 Bassman amp. Jimi's fills between chords are what always interested me in this song. I show you a few here. There are three verses in the Monterey Festival version. He plays a different variation of his licks in each verse. His variety of chords and licks are what make him so great. I'm like you and cannot get enough. Enjoy.
.....cool guitar.....sounds great.......Jimi"s version always puts a smile on my face.......Yeah that"s his grandma over there!
Just excuuuse me for a minute and let me play my guitar!
Bob Dylan's grandma? :-0
Haha yeah, he was ripping on Noel’s big hair / perm. (Looks like a grandma hair doe) . Seemed like him and Noel has some beef.
@@DamonNicholls Noel Redding - luckiest man in Rock History!
@@DamonNicholls lol. He was always clowning Noel.....there was some live thing I remember he calls Noel "Granny Goose" and I think that's the same one where he says Noel's breath smells like "wolf pussy!" Fucking hilarious.....
Jimi's playing, and tone are incredible on this moment in time. 56yrs later we are so lucky that we had the technology to record/film this live performance.
I think that's why I've always liked Jimi since I heard it. He makes it look easy.
Yes, he was the master. He raised the bar so high. Here we are still studying everything he did in the '60's and at such a young age. Incredible.
This is really really great, I have just learned a deeper understanding of Jimi's style and technique from this vid than from watching dozens of others.........more please
Great job on the details Bro, thanks for your time into it for us.
Top notch! Thank you!
I appreciate you sharing stuff like this. It really opens up the fretboard to Jimi’s approach and allows myself to have a better understanding how to fill open spaces with melodic fills that connect the chords together.
I'm so glad. That is my main purpose for doing these videos. Be sure to subscribe. I'm only 92 subscribers away from 10,000!
Captivating rendition. My favorite version and I love Dylan completely but Mr Jimmy just is unstoppable on this one. Thanks for showing the way and simplifying some vital parts of this masterpiece.
great as always!! killer tone! nice strat!
I have never heard Jimi play this song, so it's a special treat for me to listen and learn. Thanks Millstap !
Google it and you will find a great video of him playing this version at the Monterey Pop Festival. I also saw several things in the video that I had speculated on by listening to the track. For example, he does change from the bridge pickup to the neck pickup right before he starts singing the first verse. I was glad to see that I heard that correctly. Also, I saw how he played one lick that I had incorrectly transcribed and that also helps in ear training. I did not like the way it sounded when I played it. Although I played the correct notes, just not on the correct strings. And, he is very good with his guitar volume control. You can hear the fuzz very well going into the third verse and then he turns down his guitar very quickly to clean up the fuzz. That is very difficult to do while singing and playing. You will love his facial expressions. It is like the guitar is part of his soul and he looks at the guitar like the true master of the instrument he was.
You're the first person I've seen whose nailed his knob movement Thank You SOOOO much for this! :)
What did I do with the knobs? I have not watched this in years.
It’s time to give a lesson, I absolutely love it man, great tone, you play it really amazing!! I really need those licks!
Yes, I am working on Hear My Train from People, Hell, and Angels. That is next.
Sounds great, man!
great detail man awesome work
Waouw!!! I never heard a closer Jimi's sound man!!! So the secret is the germanium fuzz at at low guitar volume. And of course the reversed Strat! Thank you 3x!
Yes, fuzz is pretty versatile at lower volumes.
Wow that tone is glorious
That was awesome bro
Oh man! I crazy love this! 64 years old, and still wanting to do this! I had a 70's Strat, just like that. One time, after stringing it up, after a few years of not playing, realized that the springs did, indeed, lend a certain sound to it. I've got about 5 squires, but haven't touched them in years. It is about time to pick them up. Absolutely love this work, Thanks a million!
Wow, we are the same age. It is a never ending quest. Also, I think playing and learning new things on the guitar keeps your mind sharp so pick them up for sure. I have been trying to do my next video for a few weeks now on Hendrix's Bold As Love, but I have my 2 and 4 year old grandsons here for a couple of months and they are a handful. For example, I went to play my amp the other day and nothing was coming out and I started troubleshooting to see why. I was stumped for a few minutes until I looked down at the knobs on my Fulltone OCD and they had all been changed and the volume was at 0. I have to keep them out of this room but sometimes they break in. Hopefully I get that video done in the next week or so.
@@millstap you and My1after are in the same boat age wise! And I totally agree. Thank God for retirement, UA-cam, and soundproofing! I'm still trying to figure out Johnny Winter! Keep at it! Millstap, thank you for these videos. Not only are they a tutorial of vintage Fender equipment, it's inspiring!
Thank you for everything you post man so many people appreciate it. Just when i think that you don't have everything i want from hendrix you do.
Thank you. It is always nice to hear encouraging remarks. That keeps me inspired to do more.
Alreadykearned new stuff about Jimi from u and answered a few questions about how what and why jmhis sound and appeal was is so fantastic thank you ,I've been hearing him since AYE first was released.
Mostly daily.
Just endless enjoyment
You gave me a lot reji.i already!!!
Hope you do more jimi
I hope to Howard.
My all time favourite Jimi song (yes I know it's a Bob Dylan composition). You have got me closer to understanding it than I have ever got by my own efforts. I am indebted to your efforts sir.
I'm so glad to hear that John. Sometimes I don't really know if I am presenting anything new.
awesome Thank you !!😊
Tone and playing excellent as usual, even with the guitar on the other leg.....each of his tunes is a self contained masterclass......I've got lots to work on with country blues!!
Yes, you learn something new every time you watch him. In this song, I learned about his masterful sensitive touch of the strings and his unconventional fills between chords.
u moved me really you made me play guitar thank you
Man I'm just with you there man. I'm really enjoying your stuff. Being a true lefty and of course a Jimi fan as well I totally get you dude.thanks for your posts and inspiration. I also enjoy that you share your setup and ideas and secrets Thanks gainLongwingguitars BB Dixon
Hi friend! I like so much your playing and how you research an excellent tone. I'll be hearing you're music in your vídeos. Respect!
I hope you get well soon for your recent surgery and get good tolerance to the treatment and therapy. Be patient!
Thank you. I guess that is why they call us patients, because we need to have a lot of it during recovery.
Hey Millstap, greetings from Spain friend. Very cool lesson, with a really cool sound and play. Thanks for share it.
Excuse me my bad and broken English.
Hoping new uploads from your channel :-)
glad your recovering millstap! your tone is always spot on! I keep buying new amps..I need to invest in a older Fender. I don't think there are to many new mass produced non boutique amps that have that tone like the late 50's/60's Fenders.
I think you are correct. I did see a great review from Joe Bonamassa on the 1968 Reissue Fender Silverface Deluxe Reverb. It won't sound like a Bassman though. Joe also said something interesting that he does not like the boutique amps because they tend to blow up. Nothing from the '60's sounds like a Tweed Bassman. The Bassman is very basic and may not appeal to a lot of people. You almost always would want to add a reverb unit of some kind. The simpler circuit is what makes it sound the way it does.
I really appreciate you posting this. Jimi's version of Like a Rolling Stone is mesmerizing.. The licks, the pickup switching and the way he attacks the strings is amazing. And if anyone wants to know what a vintage fuzz face can do in the right hands I tell them to listen to this song.. Thanks again for sharing.
You're welcome. Check this out and tell me Jimi wasn't a genius, ua-cam.com/video/4-x1ocJPwag/v-deo.html.
@@millstap
Oh yeah.. Definitely a genius. In the mid sixties after he left the Isley Brothers he briefly lived in Atlanta and a friend of my Dad's was his roommate..
Really nice tone.
Awesome, thanks
I love your videos. I'm probably your age and was blown away by Jimi when I was just learning guitar at 19 or 20. I had been sitting around with a Mel Bay book of blues tablature and thought I had to hit every note perfectly and always do things the same way then I watched Jimi Plays Monterey and it changed everything. Playing guitar became fun and experimental. You are constantly talking about things others don't cover as well about Jimi and sometimes SRV. Thanks for your lessons brother!
I grew up with Jimi too. I remember when my grandparents heard it, they thought it was devil music or something. I never dreamed that I would ever be able to play his music so I never bothered to learn any of it until just recently. I was determined to learn Little Wing and that is what started it for me. We didn't have UA-cam back in the day so there was no way to learn anything except for what you could pick off of the albums. And he only had three albums and they were so "studioized" there was no way to duplicate the sound. All of his bootleg and live stuff really opened the door to understanding his playing style.
I love his live work. He got bored with his most popular stuff and didn't perform them at his best later on. Man, at Monterrey though he was excited and loving every minute of every song. When he was really into a performance he was beyond amazing. Never played a verse or chorus the same way in one performance of a song, let alone the next time he played it. His innovation and creativity on the spot were unparalleled by any other guitarist ever in my opinion. You've got the essence of his style and tone down pat. 9 out of 10 guys on UA-cam who make videos about how to sound like Jimi aren't even close. By the way, you ever checked out Randy Hansen? He doesn't just imitate solos. Instead he plays his own phrases and yet they sound exactly like phrases Jimi would have played. He could play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and play it the way you'd expect Jimi to play it. His voice sounds like Jimi too.
With the money I think Randy is making, he should at least be able to afford braces, LOL. I like Randy but I never watch the stuff because I would much rather watch Jimi. As much as I love it, it would always be best to break away and do your own thing. I would hate being expected to act like someone else my whole life. I can't get away from Jimi's style because that is how I like to play and grew up learning to play. I guess that was a huge influence on me although after the Monkees, my next big influence was Grand Funk Railroad. Jimi came later for me. It's funny to think that Jimi toured with the Monkees. That was a nightmare for him.
Yeah, Randy could have gone another direction and done his own thing. He definitely has the talent and abilities. I love all kinds of music. (The most active band I ever played in was a Bluegreass gospel group.) But of all the performers around today there are few I'd go fight a crowd for to see live. Randy is one of those few. I definitely do get what you're saying though.
Yes, he never ventures down south. I see his current tour is just in WA. Speaking of other music, I've been enjoying my Dad's old vinyl collection lately which is a lot of great orchestras from the 50's but mostly '60's. They don't have big bands like that anymore. The talent was amazing back then. And the sound quality of the albums is much better than the more modern albums I bought as a young guy. If you were to buy a turntable nowadays and play an album from the '80's and compare it to one of the '60's albums, you would thing the old album is HD.
Jimi .. unbelievable!
Damn millstap...took an arrow to the knee to make you look human. Hope your recovery went well and that you're back to normal. Your lessons are inspiring to Jimi fans like me. Rock on brother! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Chris. Yes, it's been almost a year and a half and everything is back to normal. Thanks for watching. I'll be doing some more Hendrix songs soon, probably after Christmas. Hectic time right now.
millstap Totally understandable. ..Merry Christmas to you and your family. 😊
Great job on this - you know all of his little licks
Thanks. Wow, back when I had hip surgery. It will be two years this July. I need to play this song some more.
Great job!!
Thanks Greyson. I'm working on the second part of Jungle and should post it soon. There is more to that song than people realize.
Hey millstap, any chance you could make a follow up to this video? I’ve been working super hard on Like a Rolling Stone (specifically Winterland 10/12/68) and you’ve got some licks on this video, and I’m sure more in your head somewhere, that I just can’t nail down. Would love a follow up! You’re the best!
Hey man thanks again! Did you ever do more videos on this song? I can't find them
Sir outstanding I could hear the bell tone I guess that's what the call it today I heard it for the first time..thank you sir ...Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico usa...
Thank you for watching Roland. I hope you are healthy in this crazy time. Stay healthy and keep jamming!
Love this! Thanks so much. I'll be looking for further works on this song. Sounds so simple - but it's not, is it?
Not at all easy. For me, it is the size of my hand that makes it difficult in this position. My hands have a hard time stretching nowadays.
so, is there another part to this video? I'm totally into learning those chord voicings and can't tell from looking at your hand what's going on. Thanks. You nailed it.
Really heplfull thanks a lot !
Thank you. I promised another video on this and I will make it. I am just having a hard time keeping the guitar on my right leg for any period of time because of my recent surgery. Stay tuned. It will be coming.
That strait looks so odd to me lol. It's like when you see a picture of yourself not in a mirror so it's not reversed and you're just like, "wtf is going on here?"
Bro, you are cooler than the other side of the pillow! Love your work and your passion and appreciation for vintage Fender amps. Are you familiar with the late Chris Whitley? A once in a generation original who was all about the sound and feel and not the shredding - I think you would love his playing around with tunings and chord voicings for one thing.
Thank you Brendan. I don't think I have heard of Chris but his name sounds familiar. I will definitely check him out. For me, it really is all about the sound and feel. I think the audience feels it in their soul. I think that is what Jimi always meant when he said his goal was to take us to Electric Church where you feel it in your soul.
Great stuff. You have captured Jimi sound. Just one suggestion get a lavalier mic or some way to bring your voice up a bit as compared to your guitar. I recently bought an old left handed Squire and strung it right just to have that Hendrix feel. It's not all sound but a lot of frame of mind to reproduce Jimi's sound. You have got it.
Hi Millstap, Hope you're feeling better from your surgery. Hey man I'm sorry, but you have to do way more of these videos. Way more. This is the most fun I've had learning guitar stuff since I was a kid wishing I could one day play these. Please, you have to do way more. Where is the rest of this song? I couldn't find it. Thank you very much for these. Hope you're well by now.
Edward
You're basically Hendrix teaching us how to play. You have to do more please.
@@edwardmm737 Edward, I've done quite a few since this one. I'm doing fine now. This was 2-1/2 years ago. Look up some of my more recent videos like Stop and Bold as Love.
@@millstap Thank You Millstap, Good to hear. It would be so nice for you to make around 100 more of these videos. I don't understand why you are not making many more videos. It would be so nice for everyone. I love these videos.
Edward
Everything Hendrix does will always amaze me. Thanks for showing me that in this video. Great sound by the way.
Check out the video of him playing it live at Monterey. It is very cool.
"I'm like you and cannot get enough" - 100% :)
Millstap, have you heard Jimi Hendrix-Live NY Cafe Au Go GO, Jimi play the blues 68....I think thats my favorite....Hes playing with the Paul Butterfield Band....its the fourth song that Im working on....any suggestions?
Thanks
i started double checking the monerey releases i found out the video releases were digitally remastered by alan douglas.all the monerey lp releases the uk the usa the germany lp releases were the same digital master.they were released in 86.the only analogue release was jimi on one side & otis reading on the other side.ive got that & i sold the other release even though i wanted the full gig.many say its his best gig but there are so many great gigs maybe it was his tightest gig.band of gypsies was one of my fav concerts he played so raw it was so emotional & poweful.in england douglas got mitch to play over buddy miles drums & released it in the uk buddy found out & took them to court & it was re-released again with buddy,s drums reinstated wally heider recorded the gig but kramer decided to remix it stopping the feedback reverberate & removing some fine licks.wally heider was a much better sound engineer compared to kramer.kramer claims he recorded the woodstock gig but all he did was edit it & remix it he was there in the crowd on stand by but he wasnt the engineer that set up the mics & sound board i belive it was wally heider.you might have noticed i dont like eddie kramer my number one reason is he had to change everything he wouldnt let jimis true intentions be heard.the singles lp smash hits kramer did a stereo mix & overdubbed lead vocal backing vocals drums rolls metal percussion some of noels bass licks & jimi,s guitar got the same treatment.it was an insult jimi never forgot & he learned how to sound engineer himself.on electric ladyland.that version was released in 68 on polydor records.eddie krammers mix was released first by a few months on track records.ive got them both.but as far as i can tell jimi,s mix was never released again & eddies mix was the labels choice.the digital reissues of his three studio lps were remixed & butchered by eddie kramer they are terrible it makes me sad hearing it .axis & the first lp had big changes made by kramer also jimi intended to use more echo & guitar phrasing on axis & make it more psychedelic but kramer removed most of it great post thumbs up from me..
Wow, you sure do study Jimi. I can't listen to those old albums anymore because they don't sound that great to me. Electric Ladyland is bearable. I love all of his live stuff now. You must have a lot more info over there since that is where Jimi got his start. For someone that is supposed to be so great like Eddie, I was surprised to find him working in a little unknown studio in Canada.
kramer talks about jimi like his his best mate but really its all about eddie getting credit.he really did work against jimi,s intentions from day one.i dont like any sound engineers that simplify music because they think its to experimental.but thats the price you pay when you sign the dotted line for a major label.my old records sound great the bass is thumping seriously ive got 8inch bass tubes a quality old separate amp a marantz which is noted for top notch separation an a1400 i think. i use an ortofon stylus & cartridge with a german duel record deck thats got audiophile written on it lol.im debating getting tube tech speakers.which are basically very similar to guitar amp tubes.hendrix lived in camden in london i used to go record hunting there on a saturday when the market was on i did that for about 10 years.sometimes i would go to ladbroke grove,soho & east putney as well there was a record fare once a month at the electric ballroom in camden that was where i saw my first live gig.they put up a blue plaque in the 90s jimi,s ex girlfriend linda asked & the council said yes.the guitarist from the who pete townshend said a few kind words & the plaque was unveiled.jimi lived next door to where handel the composer lived who also got a blue plaque i think charles dickens got a blue plaque as well so its a first that a moderb day musician got one.apparently jimi,s apartment has been restored to how it was when jimi lived there from old photographs & is now a small museum..
Hey buddy, have you heard jimi's versions of like a rolling stone, from the winterland shows in 1968. He played 3 nights and every night played a slightly different version, with tons of improvisation. They blow the monterrey version out of the water.
Could you do a tutorial for Little Wing Live at Albert Hall?
the live at monterey version is my fav ive got about 4 versions of this song by jimi.i see jthat janie has blocked that version from being heard on you tube. ive still got the video of live at monterey,wood stock,filmore.the filmore gig ive got 2 versions of one is black & white one is color the color one is the best quality for picture great post
it would be great for hendrix fans to be able to have a place online or otherwise to congregate without nazis sucking all the life they can outta him
Thanks for the lesson. Love the guitar. Do you notice a difference between it versus a regular right handed strat? Always wondered if the string length would effect tone
Sorry I took so long to respond. Yes, the string length does make a difference. It is why Jimi's bass notes sounded so big. The extra length makes a big difference. And the plain strings are quicker to bend to pitch because they are shorter. That is why you see a lot of reverse headstocks on pro guitars.
wow, thank you for this, I think this is very important..I love the fat sound of the low E. Really adds a lot to the Hendrix tone. What pickups ? I've got a '90s strat through a '80s Twin reverb , got the ICD, and the roger mayer octavizer..how would you use these for the rolling stone tone, and the axis bold as love tones ? Many thanks in advance, you are the only one on YT who gets Hendrix.
Millstap, what pickups do you have on your white strat?
How do you like the reverse head stock? I haven't tried one, but my theory is that a set of strings Jimi played 10-38 should feel the same tension on the reverse head stock as a set of 9-42's would feel on a normal head stock - any thoughts?
I absolutely love the reverse headstock. I can hardly play a standard headstock anymore. I've been looking at getting reverse headstock necks for all of my Strats but they are pretty expensive at around $260. They just play and sound better, especially if you bend strings a lot like I do. I didn't have much luck with the 10-38. They just did not stay in tune very well. I am perfectly happy with a 10-46 set with a .015" G. Especially when tuned down a whole step to D which Jimi did a lot. I can't imagine having a 10-38 set tuned to D. They would be like rubber bands.
Millstap, do you think the tube screamer circuit was designed to replicate this sound? In my lifetime search for Jimi’s tone I’ve found that I can get pretty darn close to this sound you get off your 59 bassman. To the point my go to jimi tone is a tube screamer into a clean Marshall or it sounds just as good going the SRV route into my original 1969 silverface deluxe reverb amp. What’s your thoughts on that? All the tone snobs tell me I’m going about it wrong yet it sounds dead on to me
ive just tryed out my new old fuzz pedal its a maestro fz 1-a sounds nice just like a vintage fuzz pedal should.i got a vox hw turret board wah wah to try out it needs a battery so i cant try it today.but its got a 2 year guarantee & i much prefer it to a dunlop cry baby its rawer & much more natural sounding..i listened to a vintage fuzz wah wah but it sounded like a synth so i went for the pedal.now i just need a quality tape echoplex..
What kind and size strings do you use?? Just curios?!
I love your playing an tone so much man! New subscriber! What do you think of Princeton reverbs with a Alnico blue 12? I'm new to all the electric gear and stuff and looking for a nice tube amp for house and rehearsal level. Love your stuff man!
Hey Sam, thanks for subscribing. The Princeton Reverb is a great amp although I have never played one. I know there are quite a few pros that use them on stage. Gary Clark Jr. uses the Vibro-King but he also always has a mic'd Princeton Reverb in there somewhere sometimes hidden. You can see it here in my rig rundown video at 4:45. ua-cam.com/video/_lb_sj7_RUI/v-deo.html
It would be great for your home. I always like AlNiCo speakers but keep in mind they can make a big difference so you may want to experiment with others if you have the time and money. Of course, I would always search for an original mid '60's blackface Princeton Reverb but I see now that they are getting close to $3K. Crazy. They are popular. The good thing about an original vintage amp is that is it will at least retain its value or rise in value over time. Good luck. Let me know if you have any other questions.
millstap thanks so much for the reply man! And Hank you for all the info, I will eventually post a video when I get nice set up, can't wait for a real tube amp!! Cheers again from England!
+Sam Robinson princeton reverb amps are the biggest bargain because the early silverface are the same as the blackfaces and alot cheaper.

He does that when he is baring long ringing and melodic chords. He does that with the E chord by the but. He press with the second finger the A and D string. He is baring a full e chord at the but.
BTW, This seems to be a good example of the Strat's sound. After years of not playing my 73 blonde, when I finally picked it up again, I could distinctly perceive the contribution to the sound, by the vibrato springs.
I bet that 73 Blonde is a great Strat. Keep playing it.
Hey Millstap!
I bought my self a Lefty and wanted to ask you what Cable do you use? I Need some like you to fit my arm ;) thanks!
I made my own but I used a cheaper cable and it finally broke about in the middle of the cable from running over it with my chair. So now, I am using White Noise's coily cable which is pretty bulky. I should make another one. The smallest profile plug you will find is a one of those old style, flat head (pancake style) right angle plugs.www.amazon.com/Switchcraft-2-Conductor-Right-Angle-Flat-Back/dp/B0049BOCYG. The reason I used the cheap cable was because it was thinner. Use a flexible, thin, high quality cable and you should be good to go. Most of the high end cables are too bulky.
Thanks for you´re quick answer sir.
Well i think the high end cables are anyhow not best to achieve the warmth of Hendrix.
Then i read my self into changing Profile plugs!
Please explain the intro of this song in the King's Jam, you can find it on youtube. I am very close to getting it..
Wow, I've never heard that before. Cool. I saw there were a few videos showing people playing it so that should give you some quick references. I'll see what I can do. The audio is pretty poor. I wish I could get the album.
It is poorly recorded, even on the album so better audio is not possible unfortunately.Although, cool intro isn't it? :D I hope you can fill in the missing gaps (there are quite a bit that I don't understand)
Hey man, watched Monterey as a kid and that’s the song that got me. Have you tried to figure out the intro to the winterland version??
I have not. I will check it out now. I've been on the search for the next tutorial. I love what he does on this song and any version of it.
That one is real challenging. Thanks for the suggestion.
I think he is tuned to E and I usually shy away from those, but in this case, I'll tune up.
That double album is amazing. I’ve been listening to him for about 35 years and in my opinion, that’s the best.
@@genavivedunlap7464 Yes, I saw the long list on Spotify. I think I avoided them because he was tuned to E which is harder on my hand. This may be the concert where he changed guitars to one in Eb in the middle of a show. I’ll focus on this now.
What’s your fuzz pedal’s name? Sounds awesome
Interesting that you would notice that. A boutique builder in Moscow sent it to me using Russian NOS Germanium transistors. It is still my main fuzz now. Unfortunately Petr does not seem to be building anymore. I emailed him and he didn't respond. And they were only $80 including shipping from Moscow. I know he moved out of Moscow. I need to contact him again. The fuzz is an Analog Fox Voodoo Fuzz (red version).
Great song. I always liked that version. You're right, the fills are pure magic and so musical. I had it on the Radio One CD from long ago. Asked you on another vid. You still have the band or any plans with it? Thanks.
Well, no plans on any band in the future right now. I think I would rather go into a studio and see what happens there. Living in such a small community, the demand for good live music is very slim. Even in New Orleans, there is a ton of great music but if someone like Hendrix were to show up down there, they would run him out of the Quarter for being too loud.
Ok. I asked cause I've been watching your vids for 6 years. Inspired me to buy a Fender RI Bassman. I recently replaced the Fender with a hand wired Marsh tweed Bassman clone w/Weber alnico sigs. I live in a part of Florida with the same issues you described. Loud bands are almost instinct. If I get away from the more rock syled blues and lean more towards jump and swing style, probably more opportunities for me. For now trying to be happy just playing the Bassman at home. But I don't have to tell you how awesome they are with a band. Keep up the videos. I don't tinker as much as you but I enjoy watching and appreciate all the info and cool demos. Can't get enough of this stuff!
Thank you so much for being a long time subscriber. I don't realize it until you guys tell me that you have been watching for so long. I am so thankful to be able to do this. It is the next best thing to playing a good gig. Thank goodness I was able to learn how to repair these amps because they have really improved with my chronic perseverance to be sure they are running at their fullest capacity. I still have a lot to learn by for now, I think I have them sounding about as good as they can. Did you build the Marsh Bassman yourself?
Yeah I've ben around a while. Honestly there's not many guys doing what you're doing, especially with the bigger tweeds. And on a consistent basis like you. As far as the Marsh: No I'm hardly capable LOL! Mike Marsh lives only a few hours South of me and there's a dealer less than hr away who carries them. This way you get to try them first. I had the choice of two Bassmans with different speakers. I went with four 15 watt Weber sig alnicos for earlier break up. Like I said , can't play that loud here anymore. I have a bunch of NOS tubes to try but haven't gotten that far yet. Sounds really good with the stock EH 12ay7 in v1 and TAD 5881's. Thanks for responding.
Be sure to try an RCA triple mica 5751 in V1. The triple mica is better for microphonics. I have the 5751 in both of my Bassmans.
The Winterland version of this song is now available from Hal Leonard
Do you think it is on Spotify?
Is it the 10/11/68 concert?
@@millstap yes both songs
@@millstap sorry not sure
When was it released??
What's the weird spot on the pickguard? ...Used to be a mini toggle? ....seems like a large area
No, actually that is a thin piece of plastic I jammed under the volume knob and duct taped to the pickguard. The one problem I had with the lefty guitar is that I would hit the volume knob all of the time and so I had to give it some resistance to keep it in one place.
Ahhhhh yes......now I see.....
Ur amazing
Thanks for taking the time to watch.
When you gonna make the other video?!
Did I promise another part in this video? I'm bad at losing track of Part 2's.
@@millstap yeah you said this was the rough draft, and that you would make a more complete one when your leg is better
@@harrysmith592 Oh yes, well my leg is great now after my fourth year check up. I should do this. I am working on Freedom right now and the solo from Hear My Train.
@@millstap any update on the song? Been trying to learn this song for about 18 years now. I’m not very good, but it’s in the bu key list.
U said we would get more later plsss for us who can’t pick it up as fast
Thank you for keeping me honest. It's been seven years since I made the promise. I'll definitely look at it but life has been pretty busy lately. Hopefully I can still do it. Seven years has allowed some arthritis to creep into my fingers.
I know it's upside down but when you see Mr Hendrix with it, It looks ok. Probably cause Lefty.i would never put myself on utube covering Jimi.
Whats up Millstap!!
Hey Paul. Sorry I have not been responding. For some reason UA-cam doesn't send my comments to my email even though it is turned on. Not sure what is going on. Now I need to check my channel every day. I must have hundreds of comments that I never responded to and I always try to respond to everyone. Things are slowing getting back to jamming and hopefully recording tutorials and the whole deal.
@@millstap I'm glad things are good. I just like to respond to you and your videos. I wanna jam with one day!! Everyday is a learning experience. I should be the world book of records... For 4 years now I have picked up my guitar and jammed everyday!! Honestly, everyday. I can't put it down, that's all I think about. Haha
@@paulkardoulias9547 That is great. I try but had to take a week long break when the grandkids were here. It was rough and it takes me a week to get back to where I was. I'm still working on it today and my hand is sore. I like to play for 3-4 hours a day. I'm starting again. I think I will have some good time to do it going forward.
In this video this guitar was the most beautiful Strat in the world. How come Nash can sell a 100% strat copy ?
And is that a Greg Norman polo shirt you're wearing? LOL
You must be a golfer, LOL. Who else would notice the Shark logo.
Where’s the follow up video
I shouldn't make promises I can't keep. I don't think I ever did one. I'm so far behind. I just got a list of over 40 songs from subscribers on my last video and that will take a lifetime. At least my lifetime. I can't promise anything anymore. Thanks for watching though.
cool tone. if you router the the pick up position holes like a left handed strat on a right handed guitar you will hear the difference in the pick up sound. check out youtube video called "Charvel Jake E. Lee 'White Pearl" will explain better
Kinda funny as I usually play with it on my left knee(yes,I'm a righty!)
Is that you Barry
Try to pres with the tip of your third finger A and D string. That's how jimi does. I now for shure
....I always wanted a lefty strat
I'm super happy with this Nash Strat. It was an eye opener to see how someone besides Fender can build a better Strat out of parts. It needed a little work like a new bone nut and trem springs but that was it.
The song is perfect but a little too fast. Would it be possible for you to do a more detailed lesson? Thanks heaps from London :)
Hello London!. I love London. My wife and I went there for our honeymoon exactly 33 years and one day ago. Today is our wedding anniversary. I'll see what I can do to slow it down. I've been getting behind lately. This is a busy time with birthdays, anniversaries, etc. We are leaving for Madrid in a few weeks and will be there for three weeks so I will be out of touch during that time. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
I am in fact from Spain although I live in London :) have lots of fun and make sure to try Mosto and Bocadillo de Calamares ;)
Have fun and hope you can break this super cool song a little. Thanks a lot!
damn you like fender....
I was sold back in 1978 when I bought a vintage 1963 Telecaster and it was the first guitar I had that would stay in tune, LOL. Then I discovered how great their amps were. Hey, if Jim Marshall copied them, they must be good. I guess I really don't like the super distorted sound of humbuckers anymore. I love the clean, clear bass.
Nice man cool guitars and nice amplifiers #fenderareawsome
I got super lucky. I didn't know much about older Fender amps and was smart enough to know the Tweed Bassman had a great reputation. Those by far have changed my tone forever for the best. And, buying two on a whim really, was the best thing I ever did because I could compare the two and all of the changes Fender did straight from the factory back in 1959 and 1960.
I need a new amp
It depends. If you want the SRV tone, get a Super Reverb or Henrix, get a Tweed Bassman.
It’s a Bob Dylan song not a Rolling Stones song! OK the Stones along with others covered it but it’s a Dylan song ….
He didn't say the Rolling Stones wrote the song, he said "one thing I've learned from this Rolling Stone song" which should be interpreted like him saying "one thing I've learned from this Hey Joe song"... the song is called Like a Rolling Stone, he's referring to the name
@@Alex-eo9of Really, the Stones never covered this song anyway! Love it when these know it all's comment and are wrong. Like all Jimi fans didn't know it was a Dylan song to begin with. Cheers!
@@patrickfoster4586 except that the Stones did cover it
Patrick Foster, Stones did cover this song and even play it live
Hey Millstap, nice video ,
I was wondering if you could decode this video, you have probably seen in before.
ua-cam.com/video/_PVjcIO4MT4/v-deo.html
EVERYTHING after 3.50 I find it confusing what he does, I know he is trilling on the 2 and 4 and then using open too wammy but I cant make the same sound... Also when he starts to do that "bounce" thing, just before he finishes the song.
If you could figure that stuff out, that would be awesome...
thasnk!
Yes, that is just Jimi having fun at the end. You just need a lot of gain so you will need a cranked amp and fuzz. That allows him to use the whammy bar while doing the hammer-ons. At the very end, I thought he was "bouncing" off of his whammy bar but he is actually just hitting the body of his guitar just above the strings to make the strings ring. Maybe I will try to do a little demo video. I'm getting a little behind right now.
No way! Thanks so much for doing that!
Thanks so much! I always wanted to know how he did that. sorry for the late reply!
No problem. I've been a little slow lately too because of my hip surgery.
try to play F like 13301(1) muted and G 355030 C 07555(5)muted
sounds good for me
Thanks. I'll give that a try.
Great video. Playing the F chord with your thumb on the 6th string is such a bitch.
Dude, your ax is upside down...
Thank you. I wondered why the thing was so darn hard to play.
I always hated this song until I heard Hendrix's version, then I knew I had to learn it. Hey has Janie Hendrix figured out a way to make you pay royalties yet? Lol.
No, but Janie can be a real pain. And not just her. The other day I played a snippet of a live version of Hear My Train a Coming from Winterland on my live feed and they cut it off. That was Sony I think.
@@millstap You must notify sony and janie, in writing, when you want to fart.
The answer is always no though. 😵
i love how die hard jimi fans buy lefthanded guitars and play them righthanded. Looks uncomfortable tho
It's a complete coincidence (maybe not) that Jimi couldn't find a left handed guitar to play. You would be surprised how much different they sound and contributed a lot to his sound. The long bass strings on the reverse headstock make most of the difference. If I every buy another Strat (which I doubt), it will always have the reverse, big headstock. You will notice a lot of pros with the reverse headstock. There is a good reason.
He has a much lighter touch than you do.
You're attacking it a little bit too rough.
Jimmy had a soft touch.That's what made him so great.
Good job though
Can't really say Jimmy.Would attack like you do.
Exactly. It's amazing how light and lightning fast Jimi's touch was. Brute force is just my style. I can't stop myself after all these years.
I CAN'T GET OVER how many of you "Lesson Video" guys film the guitar from A FUCKING ANGLE! .... If you ACTUALLY want to share what you've learned a STRAIGHT ON VIEW of the guitar would help .... DONCHA THINK?
Work on it some more
jimi也真傻!活的歲數也不過我的一半!選那麼複雜的彈奏方法累死自己!也沒我彈得久!
do your own style, dont copy jimi, sounded great though
Bruh he was teaching it
