Using pentatonics to outline the changes and improve phrasing is a brilliant way to hone your lead skills. An easier introduction to this than Little Wing is to use major pentatonics for Hey Joe (circle of fifths) ie C, G, D, A, E, gradually working in chromatics to improve the flow from one chord to the next. Anyway, bottom line is that this is an invaluable lesson, Chris. No wonder Marty Schwartz loves you.
Youll get tired of me spamming this but you have a supreme knack for teaching. I aint even half way through the video but i have had lightbulbs go off peft and right. Chris you are THE best to do it.
OMG Chris. I remember when I started playing in 83, I had Hendrix in the West, I tried learning that version over and over again...this is so amazing and I cant wait to practice this, once again!
This is the first time that I've ever seen this Lil Wayne video I've been playing the song different stages of my development for 4 years now. As I I still didn't know the correct chord progression chord progression till I saw you write it out there so I wrote it down and tonight I'm going to watch his video 3 or 4 times I understood everything you did I don't know it in time for sure but this has to be the best little wing instructional I've ever seen and I've seen. And I've seen everybody's on UA-cam. Don't know how long that's been posted on your website or how I've missed it, this has always been one of my favorite songs it is just beautiful.. my personal opinion the most beautiful song ever writing. You'll be hearing from me this week I'm finally got my finances correct and a card again so I'm going to get back on your patron page I'm finding a lot of videos I don't know very precise in in the way that it's taught. II just comprehend what your trying to teach an I am going to conscientrait on your teaching to prepare my self for the next step I Wana take which is getting a band together an book gigs in our local area. I might even find myself in the position where I can pay for the extra instruction we'll have to see about that. Thanks again Chris I really appreciate your channel an the endless learning experiences I have had the last few yrs. You once wrote about a comment I made on an older gentlemans channel, goes along the lines, keep practicing Chad an you play like that to someday soon. I have never forgot that and I have never stopped trying to get better. I wish I would have some videos of how I played back then when you made that comment to what I play because 80% of that is from your channel and instruction. Don't know if you remember that but I sure do.
I can’t tell you how much it means to me to read this. Helping guitarists reach even a sliver of their potential is my highest hope. Thank you for sharing this, it made my day! Rock on!
Absolutely fantastic what a concept, I know what I will be doing over the weekend. Already had a wee run through and it makes you think and it’s fun, thank you.
CHRIS SHERLAND, The F major chord is the bVII chord which not in the key of G major or E minor. Did you mention in the video where this bVII chord comes from? Hendrix Purple haze solo you should do a YT lesson on because you can think of it as Major pentatonic/Major Hextatonic or Dorian.
Thank you Chris. I love the elegant way of putting skills and tasks in this progression... making beautiful music and applying skills and tasks at the same time is much more enjoyable then just running scales, skills, etc....and increases the use and applications... Perfect Chris... Thank you much.. I appreciate your style of teaching!!! 🙏😄💕💙
@curiousguitarist At 5:33 you're moving to Bm, presumably on the 1, and by my count you land on Am on the & of the 4? From then on you play like the Am was on the 1. It sounds good, but was it intentional? Is skipping half a beat common? Or am I missing something?
My intention here was that the Bm and the Am are both landing on the "one", but the Am is phrased as the last of a set of triplets. And as I review it, that is what I'm hearing. Without a metronome my strumming might have thrown you off, but as I count it, the landings are solid in that context. I'm also playing slightly behind the beat here as well. I'm sorry if it's not coming across well-enough.
Hello Chris! Players like John Frusciante and John Mayer have really incorporated the Hendrix style into their own. This lesson was a great way to work on skill and learn how to incorporate in to your own style. Seems like just about every Hendrix song is a guitar lesson!
“On the fret board”! My new mantra. Get out of my head and keep it real. I spent some good time mapping triads and targeting chord tones on the changes.
I loved this whole video.. but my ( current) favorite spot is where you vamp on the last D chord with the inversions.! I always practice the inversions up the board like that.. but until now I haven’t had a practical way to use it.. Thanks Chris.!👍🏼
I never really realized until I saw it written out (how many people have actually bothered to read the charts to something that arguably is taught at 9/10 jam sessions, which is where I learned it) that it covers, very melodically I might add, EGABCFD, or rather, ABCDEFG. All the notes on the staff and decently jumped around intervallic runs lol nice...thanks for the breakdown and another well produced video!
Great lesson. Not many people on UA-cam make videos that blind people can follow easily. Or at least I can follow easily. 😆 I am going to work on this incessantly.
Ahhh, right of course! I thought of that but I didn't want it to become TOO distracting. But now that you say it, I should have gone with it. Thanks, Jim.
Any songs that captivate you, and I would always suggest looking for and learning chord progressions that really stir you. When you attach to the harmony (the chords and progression) you stay motivated to learn.
Is eric around i need my gutar tuning once again because i cannot tune a guitar hendrix and ill play out of tune with my wah wah because its fresh and new. Lmfao thats what jimmy did FACT

This is jaw dropoing!!! You can literally try whatever tecnique you want over the most beautiful song ever performed?? Eternal thanx, Chris!!!
Of course Mr Fox! Glad you enjoyed this one!

Great stuff Belmont! Thanks. Love that context on Hey Joe!
One of the best guitar channels on this site.
Thank you!!!
Youll get tired of me spamming this but you have a supreme knack for teaching.
I aint even half way through the video but i have had lightbulbs go off peft and right. Chris you are THE best to do it.
Nothing about that is making me tired :)
Thank you so much for this,it’s really good to hear and I appreciate it
I’ve been binge watching your videos all morning.
This is the simplest musical breakdown of the song I’ve come across! Thank you
What a great way to understand chord note targeting. Very timely for me as I’m working on this as we speak! Well done as always Chris.
Glad it was helpful KK, hope all is well!
Thanks!
Outstanding idea, Chris. Great video. Thank you for sharing!
OMG Chris. I remember when I started playing in 83, I had Hendrix in the West, I tried learning that version over and over again...this is so amazing and I cant wait to practice this, once again!
Keep me posted KD, I want to hear how it goes.
Love this lesson! Showed me what a difference it makes paying attention to the changes rather than meandering around
Great to hear! While meandering can be very lucrative, spending time like this is also tremendously valuable.
This is fantastic! Thank you once again Chris!
My pleasure, of course Steve. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Darn phone that was supposed to be Little Wing not little wayne

Rock on!
An amazing lesson Chris! You can take it as far as you want to. This is fantastic and the possibilities are endless.
Exactly! Glad you got some good stuff from this one, Patrick.
Amazing lesson!
Absolutely fantastic what a concept, I know what I will be doing over the weekend. Already had a wee run through and it makes you think and it’s fun, thank you.
Of course, John. Glad you enjoyed it. I still do this all the time so it keeps on giving.
I love this song so much!! beautiful embellishments Chris, still wrapping my head around your little wing triads lesson.. XX
Glad you enjoyed this one!
Quite the lesson! Very interesting, and something to keep in mind.
Thank you, Chris 🙏🏻
This is such a great lesson Chris! I need to work on this for other progressions too! Thanks for all you do!
My pleasure, Tim, and that YOU for all your support!
Very good lesson
Pure Gold, this may be your best video yet!!! Now I need time to work on it.
Wow, ok I'm gonna do more like this then ;)

Excellent teaching 5⭐️🎸👍😎✌️
This lesson! is a great way to break down all songs! Great lesson! As always!!
Thanks tone!!
Hey Chris. Loved the triad inversions. Definitely a lesson learned from triad mastery.
That's good news, Ed! So glad you got to go through that course!
@curiousguitarist thanks Chris. I can see taking it again
I swear, every time I drop by your channel, I end up feeling I’ve just downloaded musical ju-jitsu from the matrix. Thank you!
I know kung fu...
:)
Another awesome Video Chris. I've been anxious on more. I'm improving quite a bit thanks to you and Marty.
Excellent
Thank you Chris. I love the elegant way of putting skills and tasks in this progression... making beautiful music and applying skills and tasks at the same time is much more enjoyable then just running scales, skills, etc....and increases the use and applications...

Ain't THAT the truth!? Glad you enjoyed this one, Corey!
Loved this and seeing al the different approaches to playing this sweet progression!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Glad you enjoyed it, JG, thanks for everything you do...you are the best!
@@curiousguitarist ♥♥♥
I have my bass out and am playing along :)
“On the fret board”! My new mantra. Get out of my head and keep it real. I spent some good time mapping triads and targeting chord tones on the changes.
How did it go, Matthew?
@@curiousguitarist really good, this will be a part of my daily practice
Great! Thank you 🥳
You're welcome, Christoph!
I loved this whole video.. but my ( current) favorite spot is where you vamp on the last D chord with the inversions.!
I always practice the inversions up the board like that.. but until now I haven’t had a practical way to use it.. Thanks Chris.!👍🏼
You bet, Joe! Thanks for all your support!
Very well done, sir! Do Robin Trower next!
Great suggestion! I love RT.
I never really realized until I saw it written out (how many people have actually bothered to read the charts to something that arguably is taught at 9/10 jam sessions, which is where I learned it) that it covers, very melodically I might add, EGABCFD, or rather, ABCDEFG. All the notes on the staff and decently jumped around intervallic runs lol nice...thanks for the breakdown and another well produced video!
You bet, Russ. Thanks for the views and comments.
And if you think about it, every key has one version of every note name in it...pretty cool.
@@curiousguitarist Honestly I don't think much about western/standard music these days.
@@russellzauner ahhh off on another journey? Intriguing :)
This was one of those light bulb moments for me. This was very helpful, awesome content!!
Glad it was helpful, Mojo! I still use this progression all the time to test out new stuff.
The stuff I learn from your teaching makes me smile when I play...and occasionally laugh! (That 'Woah..! Did I really just play that?' laugh)
That's what I love to hear! Thanks for being here, glad this stuff is helpful and inspiring.
Magic! Thank You!
You're welcome, John!
Great lesson. Not many people on UA-cam make videos that blind people can follow easily. Or at least I can follow easily. 😆 I am going to work on this incessantly.
I dig it
Chris, I would have delighted to see the bouncing ball follow your chord progression.
This is a valuable but tough for me lesson.
Ahhh, right of course! I thought of that but I didn't want it to become TOO distracting. But now that you say it, I should have gone with it. Thanks, Jim.
What other songs would you suggest that could teach a player the same kind of things as little wing?
Any songs that captivate you, and I would always suggest looking for and learning chord progressions that really stir you. When you attach to the harmony (the chords and progression) you stay motivated to learn.
Funny enough, Little Wing is what I keep on hand as my default tune in my Digitech Trio.
Hey Russell! Hope all is well! What a great progression...easy to understand and play, but keeps you on your toes.
If G and Em scales have F#, how can that fit into playing the F chord?
The F chord is a temporary key change!! GREAT question!!
😊✨
My dream is to one day have the technical ability to play little wing. Id do it all day long
Just start with the cords!! You can do it today!
Cris I have noticed recently that your videos are very dark and not very clear. Are you using lighting?
Thanks, yes I am but I can turn it up brighter. Thanks for the feedback
I play this song all day for all the same reasons.
Yo Mr Johnson!!!
I’m going to keep going back to this video until i can decently play this chord progression
It's a very valuable effort, Edward. Keep me posted!
@@curiousguitaristIts moving along and getting better but still need more practice. Thanks
🥰
There is one version of Little Wing better than Jimmi’s. Anyone guess which one ?
Yours?
😂
You are so nice 😂
Is eric around i need my gutar tuning once again because i cannot tune a guitar hendrix and ill play out of tune with my wah wah because its fresh and new.
Lmfao thats what jimmy did FACT
So true, love it.
