    Having a miserable time in boarding school in early 1968 when I first heard this and it just blew my mind - but I didn’t know why. I had to find out why this and Hendrix’s Red House were so compelling and that has taken me on a life long blues journey. Although I know Eric basically stole the whole thing, I’m still inspired by its near perfection.

      Do you realize that every guitarist borrows from things they heard even Hendrix? What makes the great ones like Clapton ,Hendrix SRV is that they make the songs their own!

      Basically everything that everyone has done, has already been done or invented. Even including the gods of rock n roll like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Dominos, etc.. Chuck Berry once said "We ain't doing anything that Mozart ain't already done" and like, it's true man. Even Mozart had his influences.

    Thanks for explaining this song and not rushing through it. When you play something slow enough,not only is it easier to see how to play it,but it's easier to hear how it's supposed to sound.

    Hi, this is beyond my skill level, but I really enjoyed your analysis and enthusiasm for this incredible song. I have lots of homework to do before (if?) I ever get to this level. Learning the scale is the first step, plus practice, practice, practice. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Gotta pay your dues, if you want to play the blues. A thousand mile journey starts with a single step. I’m out of cliches! Thanks for all of your excellent lessons. I enjoy your laid back, conversational approach. Very relaxed, very natural. I’m biased, but the music from the Sixties is the best!

    My big sister had this record and I listened to Disraeli gears a lot (much older now). You bring out the nuances of the bends and fingerings. (The Hendrix chord is called E#9, sharp nine).

    Here’s an odd one you might consider for a lesson, Savoy Browns “She’s got a ring in his nose and a ring on her hand”. I think I have it figured out but would love to see your take on it. The solo is short and sweet. I think the tone you are getting with the new Marshall would suit it. Really appreciate your lessons, your insights are spot on.

    That little riff you described as " a little bumpy" is a lot bumpy for me. I have been adding in a few extra percussive notes for the longest time. So to play like the record I have to re- learn it. Less is more.. Thanks so much for the lesson, and Gratz on your new gear. You nailed the tone of the record. Peace.

    As I am Brazilian and here we are used to complex and strange chords in our music, I believe that this strange chord you are demonstrating could be a C with an augmented seventh (or major seventh) but with the bass in G, or C7+

It Sounds like an Open Tuning Possibly, and the REMASTERED Album Version sounds like there is a 12 String, as well. There is a Good Current Live Video Version on You Tube. I'm INTENSELY DRAWN to this Song for some reason. Appreciate Your Sharing these Lessons with us.

    Great lead work by EC - and essentially lifted from Albert King's "Crosscut Saw". That last chord - Cmaj7, open position?

    • @12footchain
      @12footchain  2 роки тому

      not sure, I don't think it's that, I feel like I hear the open A string in there. good point though, the way i have it it is basically a Cmaj7 with an open A. but within the context of an A based 1/4/5 I feel like it's some kind of A modified chord name, but who knows

The FREYETTE is really up there, for me - I mean that usually my Limit on a Guitar - I did that with First Ever, Fender Player Series LEFTY STRAT in Tidepool Blue - and I really Love it, it's the Dominant Sound I want and the Neck Fits my head, the best I've ever had. So, I'm hoping for something Half or Less, than the FREYETTE. Just a Thought....

    • @12footchain
      @12footchain  2 роки тому +1

      could be. I feel like since the song is in A, that it should be some kind of A modifier or in context of A, but you may be right.

    • @UrbanOttosson
      @UrbanOttosson 2 роки тому

      Yes. So in A that would be ending on the five chord in that case.
