Hello Youtube, Justin here,
I know it's been a little while since

2
00:00:13,044 --> 00:00:17,044
since I've been around doing some lessons 
I've done a few songs the other week.

3
00:00:17,044 --> 00:00:19,444
So I'm full of make this a good one.

4
00:00:19,444 --> 00:00:22,624
And today we're going to look at 
some of the classic kind of licks

5
00:00:22,624 --> 00:00:25,337
that Jimmy Hendrix used to spice up 
his rhythm playing

6
00:00:25,337 --> 00:00:29,699
I couldn't possibly cover all of 
Jimmy Hendrix's cool tricks

7
00:00:29,699 --> 00:00:33,082
in one little ten minute lesson, I'm just 
gonna kind of single out two of them.

8
00:00:33,082 --> 00:00:35,615
Both of them work around a Major chord.

9
00:00:35,615 --> 00:00:39,405
This is not a beginner's lesson, this is
kind of like you know already your

10
00:00:39,405 --> 00:00:43,975
barre chords. You're looking of
make them sound a little bit funkier.

11
00:00:43,975 --> 00:00:47,975
Basically the two tricks before we go to a
closeup and I'll show you what's going on.

12
00:00:48,012 --> 00:00:52,012
I'm just gonna use a
little C barre chord here,

13
00:00:52,012 --> 00:00:56,012
like an A Shape C chord
with a fifth string root.

14
00:00:56,012 --> 00:00:59,477
And, the little trick that Hendrix uses 
a lot is putting

15
00:00:59,477 --> 00:01:03,657
what's referred to as the third of the
chord, which in this case is the note E,

16
00:01:03,685 --> 00:01:07,685
on the bottom. .... 
to get this kind of sound.

17
00:01:07,695 --> 00:01:11,695
So, once you get into that it sounds quite
funky as it is. ...

18
00:01:16,241 --> 00:01:20,631
That kind of thing. So you're sliding up 
by using the third finger.

19
00:01:20,631 --> 00:01:24,726
I'll show you this in a closeup in a sec. 
Then putting the rest of the chord down.

20
00:01:24,726 --> 00:01:27,833
Now, once you're up there and you've got 
that third on the bass

21
00:01:27,833 --> 00:01:30,593
there's all sorts of little, you know ....

22
00:01:33,713 --> 00:01:37,203
little tricks and stuff that you can use 
and it's a really nice little

23
00:01:37,203 --> 00:01:41,713
rhythm guitar trick, it works in almost 
every situation not necessarily Hendrix,

24
00:01:41,713 --> 00:01:44,963
John from the Red Hot Chili Peppers
uses it a whole heap.

25
00:01:44,963 --> 00:01:48,933
Yeah, loads of great guitar players uses 
it all the time, John Mayer, there's loads

26
00:01:48,933 --> 00:01:52,474
of guys uses it, once you get the trick
you kind of recognize it, I'm sure.

27
00:01:52,474 --> 00:01:55,414
So, that's the first one,
that's with the fifth string group,

28
00:01:55,414 --> 00:01:58,174
and the other one I'll show is with the
sixth string group,

29
00:01:58,174 --> 00:02:02,264
which is this kind of thumb over
technique, the thumb plays the bass note

30
00:02:02,264 --> 00:02:06,264
and the first, second and third fingers 
play the chord

31
00:02:06,264 --> 00:02:10,264
and that frees up your
little finger to do .....

32
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,680
You find a million little tricks you can
use with that.

33
00:02:20,691 --> 00:02:24,691
"Under the Bridge" uses a lot of those
tricks there with the E Shape

34
00:02:24,691 --> 00:02:28,691
barre chord Hendrix's style. So before 
I gas on any longer

35
00:02:28,698 --> 00:02:32,378
I'll go to a closeup and show you 
exactly how to do this stuff.

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,430
See you in a sec.

37
00:02:33,456 --> 00:02:37,346
So, let's start off with having a C chord.

38
00:02:37,508 --> 00:02:41,508
And you can see here my first finger is
playing the note C, which is the 3. fret,

39
00:02:41,627 --> 00:02:45,987
my third finger is barring the 4., 3. and 
2. strings,

40
00:02:46,358 --> 00:02:50,358
there a little barre, .., making sure that
the third finger lifts up enough to mute

41
00:02:50,361 --> 00:02:54,352
the thinnest string there. If you're 
not sure about that check out the

42
00:02:54,352 --> 00:02:58,020
the lesson I did on Youtube, I think it's
called "Master your Barre chords" and this

43
00:02:58,020 --> 00:03:01,600
is probably part 2, but I can't remember,
it's also on the website,

44
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,602
the Justinguitar.com thing. So, ....
there's the first chord, now if you roll

45
00:03:06,602 --> 00:03:10,522
your third finger, like that, over on to
the note D which is on the fifth string,

46
00:03:10,523 --> 00:03:17,093
play it, ... and slide it up two frets,
so it's now on the note E, which is

47
00:03:17,093 --> 00:03:21,853
the third of the chord of C, think of 
it's like the third note of the scale,

48
00:03:25,463 --> 00:03:30,162
...., that's the third of the chord,
and first finger is now replacing

49
00:03:30,162 --> 00:03:34,412
the notes that the third finger used to
hold down. That's the initial chord

50
00:03:34,412 --> 00:03:38,312
now first finger is replacing those three
and third finger is down on that note E,

51
00:03:39,684 --> 00:03:43,684
This is a pretty funky little trick, 
anyway just by itself ....

52
00:03:47,536 --> 00:03:51,536
Just by itself it will be quite nice if 
you're playing C chord for a long time.

53
00:03:51,543 --> 00:03:55,603
Now, once you're up there, 
there's a few little tricks you can do

54
00:03:55,690 --> 00:03:59,680
a really common Hendrix trick is to move 
that first finger over so it's now

55
00:03:59,790 --> 00:04:05,630
covering the fifth string as well and then
to pluck the fifth string and the fourth

56
00:04:05,633 --> 00:04:09,973
string together ... and hammer down that
third finger.

57
00:04:10,019 --> 00:04:13,569
If you don't put the third finger down
right it will mute the fourth string

58
00:04:13,569 --> 00:04:18,019
and it's really important that ...
you still here this note

59
00:04:18,049 --> 00:04:22,049
that note has to be ringing the whole 
time, ... while the other one changes,

60
00:04:22,067 --> 00:04:25,450
otherwise it sounds like this and you
just end up with one note

61
00:04:25,450 --> 00:04:29,300
doesn't sound anywhere near as cool.
So, if you start with these two,

62
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:33,300
I'm just plucking the 5. string
and the 4. string.

63
00:04:33,302 --> 00:04:36,252
Actually I am touching the 3. string 
a little bit as well,

64
00:04:36,252 --> 00:04:39,612
but it doesn't really matter how many
of these extra ones you hear.

65
00:04:39,626 --> 00:04:44,186
The most famous example of that is 
"Wind Cries Mary" by Jimmy Hendrix

66
00:04:44,186 --> 00:04:49,716
which has this little ....it's not
in that key, it's in the key of Eb

67
00:04:49,716 --> 00:04:54,731
but it's that kind of idea. 
So that's a good little trick.

68
00:04:54,731 --> 00:04:59,141
Now as well as having that hammer-on 
there, you can also hammer-on the third

69
00:04:59,150 --> 00:05:04,590
finger on to the seventh fret of the 
fourth string or of the third string

70
00:05:04,607 --> 00:05:08,607
each time plucking so if you're hammering
the third finger down on the fourth string

71
00:05:08,607 --> 00:05:12,607
.... you're also plucking the third string
the same time ....

72
00:05:12,625 --> 00:05:16,625
The same if you put the hammer of 
the third finger on the third string

73
00:05:16,625 --> 00:05:20,625
seventh fret, you would.....
you would also make sure that this

74
00:05:20,625 --> 00:05:24,625
note on the second string is ringing out.
...

75
00:05:33,745 --> 00:05:37,745
Let's put it in the context for a 
groove for a sec ...

76
00:05:48,849 --> 00:05:52,282
You can hear it's a pretty usable
little thing.

77
00:05:52,282 --> 00:05:56,932
Now as well as hammering-on you can also
do a hammer-on and flick-off ....

78
00:06:04,267 --> 00:06:07,387
Lots of nice little licks there for you 
to muck around with,

79
00:06:07,387 --> 00:06:11,167
that one was just plucking these two,
the second and third strings and

80
00:06:11,194 --> 00:06:14,432
doing the hammer-on 
on the third string,

81
00:06:14,432 --> 00:06:19,232
then the next two strings down. But I 
mean down actually I mean up physically

82
00:06:19,232 --> 00:06:23,232
but down like the pitchwise going down,
hammer-on, flick-off....

83
00:06:34,095 --> 00:06:39,555
It's just a slide that last one.
Pick, hammer, flick-off, slide, strum...

84
00:06:45,683 --> 00:06:51,103
Loads of little licks like that, so 
that's the first one, that's the trick

85
00:06:51,103 --> 00:06:57,206
and ... 
follow the same chord.

86
00:06:58,446 --> 00:07:03,716
Hello I was just editing this thing and it
came in quite a bit over 10 minutes so

87
00:07:03,893 --> 00:07:07,893
I've cutted it into two, so if you want to
get the rest of the lesson then check out

88
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:11,537
the kind of the E grip kind of a tricks
for Jimmy Hendrix

89
00:07:11,537 --> 00:07:15,927
and check out my Hendrix rhythm part two
and I'll show you one of those

90
00:07:16,059 --> 00:07:19,346
extra little bits and chord progressions
to play about with them

91
00:07:19,346 --> 00:07:24,156
a little bit about sound. 
So see you in a bit.
