Hendrix Style Rhythm Guitar #1of2 (Guitar Lesson RH-011) How to play
-
0:09 - 0:13Hello Youtube, Justin here,
I know it's been a little while since -
0:13 - 0:17since I've been around doing some lessons
I've done a few songs the other week. -
0:17 - 0:19So I'm full of make this a good one.
-
0:19 - 0:23And today we're going to look at
some of the classic kind of licks -
0:23 - 0:25that Jimmy Hendrix used to spice up
his rhythm playing -
0:25 - 0:30I couldn't possibly cover all of
Jimmy Hendrix's cool tricks -
0:30 - 0:33in one little ten minute lesson, I'm just
gonna kind of single out two of them. -
0:33 - 0:36Both of them work around a Major chord.
-
0:36 - 0:39This is not a beginner's lesson, this is
kind of like you know already your -
0:39 - 0:44barre chords. You're looking of
make them sound a little bit funkier. -
0:44 - 0:48Basically the two tricks before we go to a
closeup and I'll show you what's going on. -
0:48 - 0:52I'm just gonna use a
little C barre chord here, -
0:52 - 0:56like an A Shape C chord
with a fifth string root. -
0:56 - 0:59And, the little trick that Hendrix uses
a lot is putting -
0:59 - 1:04what's referred to as the third of the
chord, which in this case is the note E, -
1:04 - 1:08on the bottom. ....
to get this kind of sound. -
1:08 - 1:12So, once you get into that it sounds quite
funky as it is. ... -
1:16 - 1:21That kind of thing. So you're sliding up
by using the third finger. -
1:21 - 1:25I'll show you this in a closeup in a sec.
Then putting the rest of the chord down. -
1:25 - 1:28Now, once you're up there and you've got
that third on the bass -
1:28 - 1:31there's all sorts of little, you know ....
-
1:34 - 1:37little tricks and stuff that you can use
and it's a really nice little -
1:37 - 1:42rhythm guitar trick, it works in almost
every situation not necessarily Hendrix, -
1:42 - 1:45John from the Red Hot Chili Peppers
uses it a whole heap. -
1:45 - 1:49Yeah, loads of great guitar players uses
it all the time, John Mayer, there's loads -
1:49 - 1:52of guys uses it, once you get the trick
you kind of recognize it, I'm sure. -
1:52 - 1:55So, that's the first one,
that's with the fifth string group, -
1:55 - 1:58and the other one I'll show is with the
sixth string group, -
1:58 - 2:02which is this kind of thumb over
technique, the thumb plays the bass note -
2:02 - 2:06and the first, second and third fingers
play the chord -
2:06 - 2:10and that frees up your
little finger to do ..... -
2:17 - 2:21You find a million little tricks you can
use with that. -
2:21 - 2:25"Under the Bridge" uses a lot of those
tricks there with the E Shape -
2:25 - 2:29barre chord Hendrix's style. So before
I gas on any longer -
2:29 - 2:32I'll go to a closeup and show you
exactly how to do this stuff. -
2:32 - 2:33See you in a sec.
-
2:33 - 2:37So, let's start off with having a C chord.
-
2:38 - 2:42And you can see here my first finger is
playing the note C, which is the 3. fret, -
2:42 - 2:46my third finger is barring the 4., 3. and
2. strings, -
2:46 - 2:50there a little barre, .., making sure that
the third finger lifts up enough to mute -
2:50 - 2:54the thinnest string there. If you're
not sure about that check out the -
2:54 - 2:58the lesson I did on Youtube, I think it's
called "Master your Barre chords" and this -
2:58 - 3:02is probably part 2, but I can't remember,
it's also on the website, -
3:02 - 3:07the Justinguitar.com thing. So, ....
there's the first chord, now if you roll -
3:07 - 3:11your third finger, like that, over on to
the note D which is on the fifth string, -
3:11 - 3:17play it, ... and slide it up two frets,
so it's now on the note E, which is -
3:17 - 3:22the third of the chord of C, think of
it's like the third note of the scale, -
3:25 - 3:30...., that's the third of the chord,
and first finger is now replacing -
3:30 - 3:34the notes that the third finger used to
hold down. That's the initial chord -
3:34 - 3:38now first finger is replacing those three
and third finger is down on that note E, -
3:40 - 3:44This is a pretty funky little trick,
anyway just by itself .... -
3:48 - 3:52Just by itself it will be quite nice if
you're playing C chord for a long time. -
3:52 - 3:56Now, once you're up there,
there's a few little tricks you can do -
3:56 - 4:00a really common Hendrix trick is to move
that first finger over so it's now -
4:00 - 4:06covering the fifth string as well and then
to pluck the fifth string and the fourth -
4:06 - 4:10string together ... and hammer down that
third finger. -
4:10 - 4:14If you don't put the third finger down
right it will mute the fourth string -
4:14 - 4:18and it's really important that ...
you still here this note -
4:18 - 4:22that note has to be ringing the whole
time, ... while the other one changes, -
4:22 - 4:25otherwise it sounds like this and you
just end up with one note -
4:25 - 4:29doesn't sound anywhere near as cool.
So, if you start with these two, -
4:29 - 4:33I'm just plucking the 5. string
and the 4. string. -
4:33 - 4:36Actually I am touching the 3. string
a little bit as well, -
4:36 - 4:40but it doesn't really matter how many
of these extra ones you hear. -
4:40 - 4:44The most famous example of that is
"Wind Cries Mary" by Jimmy Hendrix -
4:44 - 4:50which has this little ....it's not
in that key, it's in the key of Eb -
4:50 - 4:55but it's that kind of idea.
So that's a good little trick. -
4:55 - 4:59Now as well as having that hammer-on
there, you can also hammer-on the third -
4:59 - 5:05finger on to the seventh fret of the
fourth string or of the third string -
5:05 - 5:09each time plucking so if you're hammering
the third finger down on the fourth string -
5:09 - 5:13.... you're also plucking the third string
the same time .... -
5:13 - 5:17The same if you put the hammer of
the third finger on the third string -
5:17 - 5:21seventh fret, you would.....
you would also make sure that this -
5:21 - 5:25note on the second string is ringing out.
... -
5:34 - 5:38Let's put it in the context for a
groove for a sec ... -
5:49 - 5:52You can hear it's a pretty usable
little thing. -
5:52 - 5:57Now as well as hammering-on you can also
do a hammer-on and flick-off .... -
6:04 - 6:07Lots of nice little licks there for you
to muck around with, -
6:07 - 6:11that one was just plucking these two,
the second and third strings and -
6:11 - 6:14doing the hammer-on
on the third string, -
6:14 - 6:19then the next two strings down. But I
mean down actually I mean up physically -
6:19 - 6:23but down like the pitchwise going down,
hammer-on, flick-off.... -
6:34 - 6:40It's just a slide that last one.
Pick, hammer, flick-off, slide, strum... -
6:46 - 6:51Loads of little licks like that, so
that's the first one, that's the trick -
6:51 - 6:57and ...
follow the same chord. -
6:58 - 7:04Hello I was just editing this thing and it
came in quite a bit over 10 minutes so -
7:04 - 7:08I've cutted it into two, so if you want to
get the rest of the lesson then check out -
7:08 - 7:12the kind of the E grip kind of a tricks
for Jimmy Hendrix -
7:12 - 7:16and check out my Hendrix rhythm part two
and I'll show you one of those -
7:16 - 7:19extra little bits and chord progressions
to play about with them -
7:19 - 7:24a little bit about sound.
So see you in a bit.
