How To Jam Guitar Alone - Electric Hendrix Style Chord Chasing

Рет қаралды 45,026

Ай бұрын

It's awesome to be able to play guitar by yourself sometimes, and in this video I'll show you that you need a few key ingredients:
1 - You have to "marry" the chord shapes with the pentatonic boxes and scales that you'll need
2 - You need a chord progression
3 - You need a "groove" in place (oh, there's that counting and timing thing again!)

I've been playing for over 20 years and I know I can still learn something from almost anyone. This lesson has plenty to think about and incorporate in my playing. Thank you.

The missing piece! Thank you! I’ve seen many videos on the topic, so many I almost didn’t click.. but I’m glad I did The detail you go into in the timing is what’s missing from every other video on the Hendrix style. More please

Thank you. I've noticed that across the board and it's kind of my mission now - to get timing and counting into online instruction :)

Nice style of playing but more than anything it showpieces the amazing talent and natural gift of the greatest guitarist that will ever live.

Your playing is beautiful, brother! Funny Jimi Hendrix gets overlooked for being the amazing Blues player he was, never mind songwriting.

Great lesson the major minor thing has always eluded me. I know sad but true. Thanks for a great lesson.

Thank you very much for the lesson to merge chords and licks in minor and major. Will keep me busy for weeks with this lesson. But I believe it will be very rewarding once we muster it. Thank you once again and Cheers from Indonesia.

This opens some doors for me. Thank you for explaining your thinking process going through this. Hey I took your BGU course several years ago and so I am very appreciative of your approach to teaching. "Most people have a problem counting out loud and playing". I'm one of those and have been playing for over 50 years. I hate to admit it. Music may be the art of learning to do several things well all at the same time.

Griff, this is one of the best videos of yours that I've seen lately. Maybe it's because, in my own "noodling" I've been focusing on using that G-shape along with other chords in the same area (causing me to use C-shape & E-shape chords), and mixing in some "fills" or melody. The bottom line is that I'd recently been figuring out how to relate the pentatonic shapes to the chords. So far, i haven't exactly related a full pentatonic shape to the C-shape, so i wish you'd included it. (I have still not memorizeed & practiced all 5 of the shapes!) But I've figured out the notes on the top 4-5 strings, anyway (for the C-shape chords). Anyway, thanks for all you do! Now i just gotta get practicing those chords & shapes, to commit them all to memory. I'm very close to playing like you were doing, been fooling with it for the past week. The timing part has ALWAYS come naturally to me (don't know why, cuz ima white boy, lol). Great stuff, it reinforces what I've been doing! P.S.: i understand EXACTLY what you were talking about at the end, were once you get the groove, and how the chords & notes relate, it's easy to play "like the original." I've done that with a few songs over the years. Just suddenly figured 'em out, note-for-note. Thanks! 👍 👌 🤪

BLUES GUITAR UNLEASHED< can you make a lesson about 1st inversion MINOR A shape chord and a lesson about using 2nd chord inversions the way hendrix would have used 2nd chord inversions and how hendrix used 6/9 chords different 6/9 voicings

@GaZonk100 Ай бұрын

you know what I think? I think this uniquely Hendrix peculiarity of 'lining up' the next chord that way came from his early life learning how to change chords and was a bit of a coping-technique. . .but it sounded good. . .and he never let it drop and in fact groomed it beautifully

@aingoglia1946 Ай бұрын

What if you use the 5th string root for a minor chord (base off the A shape but flatten the 3rd). What shape since that is such common way to play the minor chord

@queasyRider3 Ай бұрын

whoa, is that a vintage or a reissue plexi, just to your left? The scuff on its top left makes me think, perhaps vintage? But the plexi-glass, it's so clean and shiny like a reissue. Either way I'm bettin' it's a load of fun to play.

@bluesguitarunleashed Ай бұрын

It's one of the early reissues from the 1990s, so no effects loop. I recently got it back from my tech and it's stupid fun to play loud :)

@davidwalker41 Ай бұрын

I am almost certain I heard you say in a previous video that no one moves the pentatonic shape with the chord root, and that the most common approach in blues is to stick with minor pentatonic rooted on the tonic's root over I, IV and V (anything more starts to get into a more jazzy sound). I remember being quite surprised because I thought it was kind of normal to play I minor pent over I, IV minor pent over IV, and V minor pent over V. Well, I am certain that's what I thought you said. Maybe I misunderstood. Because here it seems all changing pentatonic scales so that they are consistent with the chords root and quality. Perhaps you were speaking only of solo-ing over classic blues progressions whereas this is something different. Any guidance or clarification would be appreciated.

@bluesguitarunleashed Ай бұрын

You're talking about 2 very different situations, first of all. When soloing over a 12 bar blues, you most definitely can stick to the I minor pentatonic the whole time. It's very unusual to go to the IV minor over the IV chord, the IV major is a more common practice, but following all of the chords in a 12 bar blues is far less common. With more elaborate chord progressions, this style of soloing works well because you're following the chords and you don't have to know the official key.

@Rockandrollgeerage Ай бұрын

I play the minor pentatonic over a major blues progression all the time and it sounds fine. Why do you say you can't play a minor over a major chord?

@bluesguitarunleashed Ай бұрын

That's a different situation. In blues, yes, that's a great approach because it's a 7th chord, which is fundamentally major, but slightly different. It's a different style and sound than what we're doing here.
