In this video we begin a look at how to play guitar in the style of Jimi Hendrix.
We begin by looking at Jimi’s unique approach to playing rhythm guitar – blending lead licks and RnB fills with regular chord shapes.
Enjoy!
The lick in its simplest form:
And the lick applied over the entire chord sequence:

You make it easy to under stand would like more please help!!! Your friend ian
Hi Ian, thanks! There are lots more Jimi Hendrix videos on the site, just click here to see all of them: https://www.stevepigottmusic.com/?s=hendrix
Hi Steve,
Thanks a lot for your videos!
In the Hendrix chord lick 2 video, the flourished notes come from the major scale that the chord is built from.
Please, from where come the additional notes (F, D, A, E) used with the D5 like chord (root on 5th string) in the Hendrix chord lick 1 video (from 3’28” to 3’38”)?
I suspect that these notes belong to the A natural minor scale (shape 2), but I am not sure because a major chord (D5) is used.
Yours sincerely,
Jean
Hi Jean, great question! The answer is actually even more simple than you first guessed…That chord between 3:28 and 3:38 is actually a C5 chord, not a D5 chord – so those flourish notes are all part of the C major scale!
Hope this helps,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thank you very much for your answer!
