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

0:00:13.044,0:00:17.044
since I've been around doing some lessons [br]I've done a few songs the other week.

0:00:17.044,0:00:19.444
So I'm full of make this a good one.

0:00:19.444,0:00:22.624
And today we're going to look at [br]some of the classic kind of licks

0:00:22.624,0:00:25.337
that Jimmy Hendrix used to spice up [br]his rhythm playing

0:00:25.337,0:00:29.699
I couldn't possibly cover all of [br]Jimmy Hendrix's cool tricks

0:00:29.699,0:00:33.082
in one little ten minute lesson, I'm just [br]gonna kind of single out two of them.

0:00:33.082,0:00:35.615
Both of them work around a Major chord.

0:00:35.615,0:00:39.405
This is not a beginner's lesson, this is[br]kind of like you know already your

0:00:39.405,0:00:43.975
barre chords. You're looking of[br]make them sound a little bit funkier.

0:00:43.975,0:00:47.975
Basically the two tricks before we go to a[br]closeup and I'll show you what's going on.

0:00:48.012,0:00:52.012
I'm just gonna use a[br]little C barre chord here,

0:00:52.012,0:00:56.012
like an A Shape C chord[br]with a fifth string root.

0:00:56.012,0:00:59.477
And, the little trick that Hendrix uses [br]a lot is putting

0:00:59.477,0:01:03.657
what's referred to as the third of the[br]chord, which in this case is the note E,

0:01:03.685,0:01:07.685
on the bottom. .... [br]to get this kind of sound.

0:01:07.695,0:01:11.695
So, once you get into that it sounds quite[br]funky as it is. ...

0:01:16.241,0:01:20.631
That kind of thing. So you're sliding up [br]by using the third finger.

0:01:20.631,0:01:24.726
I'll show you this in a closeup in a sec. [br]Then putting the rest of the chord down.

0:01:24.726,0:01:27.833
Now, once you're up there and you've got [br]that third on the bass

0:01:27.833,0:01:30.593
there's all sorts of little, you know ....

0:01:33.713,0:01:37.203
little tricks and stuff that you can use [br]and it's a really nice little

0:01:37.203,0:01:41.713
rhythm guitar trick, it works in almost [br]every situation not necessarily Hendrix,

0:01:41.713,0:01:44.963
John from the Red Hot Chili Peppers[br]uses it a whole heap.

0:01:44.963,0:01:48.933
Yeah, loads of great guitar players uses [br]it all the time, John Mayer, there's loads

0:01:48.933,0:01:52.474
of guys uses it, once you get the trick[br]you kind of recognize it, I'm sure.

0:01:52.474,0:01:55.414
So, that's the first one,[br]that's with the fifth string group,

0:01:55.414,0:01:58.174
and the other one I'll show is with the[br]sixth string group,

0:01:58.174,0:02:02.264
which is this kind of thumb over[br]technique, the thumb plays the bass note

0:02:02.264,0:02:06.264
and the first, second and third fingers [br]play the chord

0:02:06.264,0:02:10.264
and that frees up your[br]little finger to do .....

0:02:16.680,0:02:20.680
You find a million little tricks you can[br]use with that.

0:02:20.691,0:02:24.691
"Under the Bridge" uses a lot of those[br]tricks there with the E Shape

0:02:24.691,0:02:28.691
barre chord Hendrix's style. So before [br]I gas on any longer

0:02:28.698,0:02:32.378
I'll go to a closeup and show you [br]exactly how to do this stuff.

0:02:32.400,0:02:33.430
See you in a sec.

0:02:33.456,0:02:37.346
So, let's start off with having a C chord.

0:02:37.508,0:02:41.508
And you can see here my first finger is[br]playing the note C, which is the 3. fret,

0:02:41.627,0:02:45.987
my third finger is barring the 4., 3. and [br]2. strings,

0:02:46.358,0:02:50.358
there a little barre, .., making sure that[br]the third finger lifts up enough to mute

0:02:50.361,0:02:54.352
the thinnest string there. If you're [br]not sure about that check out the

0:02:54.352,0:02:58.020
the lesson I did on Youtube, I think it's[br]called "Master your Barre chords" and this

0:02:58.020,0:03:01.600
is probably part 2, but I can't remember,[br]it's also on the website,

0:03:01.600,0:03:06.602
the Justinguitar.com thing. So, ....[br]there's the first chord, now if you roll

0:03:06.602,0:03:10.522
your third finger, like that, over on to[br]the note D which is on the fifth string,

0:03:10.523,0:03:17.093
play it, ... and slide it up two frets,[br]so it's now on the note E, which is

0:03:17.093,0:03:21.853
the third of the chord of C, think of [br]it's like the third note of the scale,

0:03:25.463,0:03:30.162
...., that's the third of the chord,[br]and first finger is now replacing

0:03:30.162,0:03:34.412
the notes that the third finger used to[br]hold down. That's the initial chord

0:03:34.412,0:03:38.312
now first finger is replacing those three[br]and third finger is down on that note E,

0:03:39.684,0:03:43.684
This is a pretty funky little trick, [br]anyway just by itself ....

0:03:47.536,0:03:51.536
Just by itself it will be quite nice if [br]you're playing C chord for a long time.

0:03:51.543,0:03:55.603
Now, once you're up there, [br]there's a few little tricks you can do

0:03:55.690,0:03:59.680
a really common Hendrix trick is to move [br]that first finger over so it's now

0:03:59.790,0:04:05.630
covering the fifth string as well and then[br]to pluck the fifth string and the fourth

0:04:05.633,0:04:09.973
string together ... and hammer down that[br]third finger.

0:04:10.019,0:04:13.569
If you don't put the third finger down[br]right it will mute the fourth string

0:04:13.569,0:04:18.019
and it's really important that ...[br]you still here this note

0:04:18.049,0:04:22.049
that note has to be ringing the whole [br]time, ... while the other one changes,

0:04:22.067,0:04:25.450
otherwise it sounds like this and you[br]just end up with one note

0:04:25.450,0:04:29.300
doesn't sound anywhere near as cool.[br]So, if you start with these two,

0:04:29.300,0:04:33.300
I'm just plucking the 5. string[br]and the 4. string.

0:04:33.302,0:04:36.252
Actually I am touching the 3. string [br]a little bit as well,

0:04:36.252,0:04:39.612
but it doesn't really matter how many[br]of these extra ones you hear.

0:04:39.626,0:04:44.186
The most famous example of that is [br]"Wind Cries Mary" by Jimmy Hendrix

0:04:44.186,0:04:49.716
which has this little ....it's not[br]in that key, it's in the key of Eb

0:04:49.716,0:04:54.731
but it's that kind of idea. [br]So that's a good little trick.

0:04:54.731,0:04:59.141
Now as well as having that hammer-on [br]there, you can also hammer-on the third

0:04:59.150,0:05:04.590
finger on to the seventh fret of the [br]fourth string or of the third string

0:05:04.607,0:05:08.607
each time plucking so if you're hammering[br]the third finger down on the fourth string

0:05:08.607,0:05:12.607
.... you're also plucking the third string[br]the same time ....

0:05:12.625,0:05:16.625
The same if you put the hammer of [br]the third finger on the third string

0:05:16.625,0:05:20.625
seventh fret, you would.....[br]you would also make sure that this

0:05:20.625,0:05:24.625
note on the second string is ringing out.[br]...

0:05:33.745,0:05:37.745
Let's put it in the context for a [br]groove for a sec ...

0:05:48.849,0:05:52.282
You can hear it's a pretty usable[br]little thing.

0:05:52.282,0:05:56.932
Now as well as hammering-on you can also[br]do a hammer-on and flick-off ....

0:06:04.267,0:06:07.387
Lots of nice little licks there for you [br]to muck around with,

0:06:07.387,0:06:11.167
that one was just plucking these two,[br]the second and third strings and

0:06:11.194,0:06:14.432
doing the hammer-on [br]on the third string,

0:06:14.432,0:06:19.232
then the next two strings down. But I [br]mean down actually I mean up physically

0:06:19.232,0:06:23.232
but down like the pitchwise going down,[br]hammer-on, flick-off....

0:06:34.095,0:06:39.555
It's just a slide that last one.[br]Pick, hammer, flick-off, slide, strum...

0:06:45.683,0:06:51.103
Loads of little licks like that, so [br]that's the first one, that's the trick

0:06:51.103,0:06:57.206
and ... [br]follow the same chord.

0:06:58.446,0:07:03.716
Hello I was just editing this thing and it[br]came in quite a bit over 10 minutes so

0:07:03.893,0:07:07.893
I've cutted it into two, so if you want to[br]get the rest of the lesson then check out

0:07:07.927,0:07:11.537
the kind of the E grip kind of a tricks[br]for Jimmy Hendrix

0:07:11.537,0:07:15.927
and check out my Hendrix rhythm part two[br]and I'll show you one of those

0:07:16.059,0:07:19.346
extra little bits and chord progressions[br]to play about with them

0:07:19.346,0:07:24.156
a little bit about sound. [br]So see you in a bit.
