I remember being at school in 72 ( I was 14 years old ) and I was listening to Rod Stewert etc and all that stuff…and some nerdy bloke in the class said “ have a listen to this “ I laughed and said I’ve never listened to any of Jimi’s stuff and probably never will ! Anyway I graciously accepted his offer and took the album home and played it and played it and played it ……The album was Electric lady land … It changed my life, awoke my listening senses , made me grow up musically ….I continue to listen to all of the great man’s music …I flew to Washington to see the white Strat in Paul Allen’s museum and then on to Seattle to pay homage at his grave. That nerdy mate became one of my best buddies and we constantly exchange opinions on which track is Jimi’s finest …….There are so many but for me here are a few of my favs….Peace In Mississippi, Trashman, Electric lady land, The stars that played with laughing Sam’s dice, Vodoo Child , Jam 292 and so on. Thanks for this great lesson today Pilgrim it is a great testament to the man . So much has been said about Jimi but for me he remains unequalled, unparalleled and totally unique. As they say “ There will never be another”….JMH.

Drifting has to be my "favourite" for heartbreakingly gorgeous interwoven melodies. Jimi was truly the most gifted musician of the 20th century, he had it all and was so humble. He was so very very special!. Great video btw, Peace.

Jimi Hendrix. You just can’t beat him

Jimi was a master when it came to playing beautiful guitar. Especially in the Studio. This is one of his best, short tho it may be. I would love for you to play more of these. May This Be Love, One Rainy Wish, Castles made of Sand, Angel, Little wing, Drifting.. even Bold as Love.. so soulful. Too me it's sad so many never hear these. Thank you Thom.. It's fun to watch you break these down the way you do.

Sounds absolutely beautiful, very inspiring as always!

Brilliant lesson Thom. So glad to hear that beautiful strat again.

such an amazing song by Hendrix. one of my favorites, glad you did a video about this song.

You talent never ceases to blow my mind! Stay Well Groovy One!

20 years ago I used to play that song on my cd 💿 player over and over! Thanks!

Great as always!!!

RESPECT to you Sir. Always enjoy your postings!

Fantastic job. Thank you so much for this.

This video reminds me again of how great Hendrix was and what a pity it is we lost him so early :( Great video!

You are amazingly talented. You make it look so easy! Jimi flowing through your veins..!

Mooie video! Het laat echt zien hoe ongelofelijk goed Hendrix eigenlijk was!

You did a great rendition. Shows the beauty of that little known song.

Wonderful video! It is so refreshing nowadays when Hendrix hatred is running strong. He is my favorite as well. Subscribed!

The phrase, "You had to be there" is so relevent to appreciate the genious of Hendrix. He was so far ahead of any other guitarist of his day. Another entertaining vid showing your amazing versitility and skills yet again.

Great playing as always!

One of Jimi's most beautiful guitar and vocal performances.

Wonderful lesson, you've got really, _really_ good "Hendrix hands". Been at it a long time, and like you, Jimi was one of my biggest influences. I know quite a few of his signature bits very well, but the timing on this one has always made it rather elusive to me. Thanks much for the wonderful breakdown.

Excelente video! Hendrix tocaba con el alma, el tipo era de otro planeta, saludos de Argentina!

What a GREAT video/lesson. Please please make more Hendrix videos, hopefully even teach some of his solos (Hey Joe, Little Wing, more..) it'll be great if you can do that. great job.

No cap. All your videos on hendrix are absolute the best on youtube no lie. Please make more and for pink floyd as well, frusciante. Love from malaysia

Fantastic song, and instrumental.

A few hours ago I was listening to that album and thinking about, why didn't somebody did a video on it. And we are in the present and you did it. Thanks!

Thanks for revealing the secrets! I always thought this sounded great but unplayable; I think your description will help me to understand the time signature.

Simply beautiful!

Hendrix's guitar tone is a wonder to the ears. I wouldn't know how to describe it, but the closest thing is that it has a sublime sweetness and "creaminess" to it. Excellent video, Thom.

Love it when you do a jimi Hendrix tune. Thanks. So beautiful

SO GREAT!!!

Love this lesson !!!!!

That was the magic of Jimi. He played Bass, Rhythm. And Lead at the same time. All by his self. Why. He is a Master. Thank you for sharing this. You your self. Are a master as well. Cause you have dove in the deep end of Hendrix.

Pilgrim! I was working on Hendrix rhythm playing last night - Perfect timing, thankyou.

Damn you play beautifully! Love your love of Hendrix!!!!

Really loved that!! Thank you for sharing this..I’m going to give it a go 👍

c'est magnifique !

Great video im a guitar nut and on the record i never heard this clearly in the mix , thanks for this video , hidden guitar gem ive never appreciated in the song. So keep trying to uncover more gems which are hidden behind the mix. Im learning this today beautiful playing.

Still jaw dropping 50 years later Thank you, Mr. P!

Fantastic! Congratulations. Thanks for share! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Love it man just love when it about jimi

Great vid on the greatest artist.

Love this! How about May this be Love Next?

My first Hendrix song what I learnt looong time ago. Still my absolute favourite.

One of my fav hendrix songs along with sending my love to linda. 2 amazing guitar pieces.

Love this song

I thought I could play this song well until you go and blow me out of the water hahaha great video!

It’s so strange, I’m not a musician & was a kid when Jimi came on the scene. His music & incredible guitar playing somehow spoke to me. Always, love that young man & will be upset his untimely end.

Fantastic lesson. Thank you.

you got a magic touch really !

Great stuff Mr Pilgrim.

Thank you so much for this video

schön, daß Jimi immer mehr in der breiten Öffentlichkeit ankommt. Und merkwürdig, daß es sich erst jetzt so langsam bei vielen Gitarristen herumzusprechen scheint, wie schön und allgemeingültig seine Songs und Musik ist. Seine Technik ist sehr individuell, hat in den US aber eine gewisse Tradition. Das Schöne ist, daß Jimi in keine Schublade passt. Seine Stärke ist seine individuelle Herangehensweise, eigene Lösungen auf der Gitarre zu finden. Das sollte Jeder versuchen, der ein Instrument spielt. Mehr Individualität, weniger Mainstream. Ich hab mir viele Jahre an Electric Ladyland die Zähne ausgebissen. Dank Yt konnte ich diese Lücken schließen. Danke an Guitar Pilgrim. Jimi Hendrix ist Weltkulturerbe und sollte Jedermann zugänglich sein. Durch Jimi kann man viele Dinge in der Musik und überhaupt von einer anderen Seite aus betrachten. Das ist es, was gute und zeitlose Kunst kann. Einen anderen Zugang zur Welt sehen.

great video! I would love to see a video about all along the watchtower

Great Video. I never knew the timing changed every measure. Great.

Great job! Thank you

Amazing 💪😎🎸

Very clever of you to notice the influence of Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions! I love JH and CM's albums but wasn't aware of that until I saw your video. Happy weekend, Pilgrim and YTfriends!

Best teacher on Utube!

You get great tones!

Great video. Hendrix is my favorite. Working on learning his techniques. Please do more Hendrix tutorials.

Merci for this video.

Love the “levels” breakdown. Gives me a starting point lol

Nice man !

A beautiful track, beautifully explained and played. I have a vinyl with Jimi playing just the bare guitar part, no vocals etc and it's gorgeous!

Beautiful he would have been proud of you 👍.

Killer lesson. Enough in for to get going, but not so dumbed down it take forever and I get lost.

Hendrix the guitarist… fell in love with his art at age of 13 when my big brother brought this album home.. Magician who could make that thing sing.

Best youtube teacher ever

I was just watching Jimi Hendrix 1973 documentary. Wow, perfect timing.

This is actually my favorite jimi song. I learn this song a few months ago. I personally think that your version is better than jimi's. Its a very modern take of a legendary tune.

I'd love to see you do one of john mayers songs from 'any given Thursday' live album. Like "man on the side" or "covered in rain" , great video as always

Fantastic guitar work! Just the Chet Atkins fan inside of me laughs out loud. ;)

You know its gonna be special when pilgrim making a video about hendrix

👁👁👍💥Oh yeah , that's the one , I love it.💥 RIP Jimi.

The solo on this song is unbelievable, you should talk about it :)

More hendrix vids for beginners this is awesome

please do a lesson on the version of Izabella Jimi played at woodstock, it's amazing!

THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME.

Hey man, good class, you are a great poet.... And The Guitar is HENDROX! I mean Mozart and Rock n' roll.... AND FREEDOOM! 😎

Like a rolling stone live is great

So the cut at 1:22 was for the mandatory "I just played some Hendrix" retune? 😁 Beautiful song, beautifully played and a great lesson, thanks!

Oh yeah baby,sweet indeed.

4 people haven't been to Electric Lady Land

Awesome. I share your passion for JH's music. Too bad not all guitarists care for emotion et sensuality. Performance is another thing.

nice

Truly the most beautiful song he wrote, and that is no samll task after Little Wing and Wind Cries Mary, and I would include Angel too. Have You Ever Been (Electric Ladyland) is like a dream.

I need a thumb extension to play Hendrix.

I like the way you say to learn the chords first and then decorate them. Hendrix never played a song in a live setting exactly like the record. I guess it's okay to improvise.

One of my favourite Hendrix songs is 'Somewhere' (there is a wha wha version on People, Hell & Angels). Before Chas Chandler quit Electric Ladyland, I heard he disapproved of Somewhere. Therefore, possibly Jimi forgot about it. I listen to Electric Ladyland in this order: Gods. Have You Ever Been, Long Hot Summer, Gypsy Eyes, Crosstown, ComeOn, Somewhere (from PH&A), Midnight Lamp, Voodoo Chile, sides 3 and 4 as they are. ✨✨✌

Спасибо Pilgrim!

Voodoo Chile with Winwood is my favourite

This is in my opinion Hendrix' true crafting masterpiece

Amazing lesson! How do you get these tones? The Jimi Hendrix Amplitube pack? Or from a real amp? Could you please do a video about your gear for these tones? Thank you, love the content!

I live in this world where Jimi Hendrix and SRV are equals but totally different at the same time. They set the standard for everything in my world.

Great stuff, heard the album numerous times never knew those chords like that. Love your guitar too.

Excuse me, excellent per usual. What amp and settings are you using for your videos? Thanks in advance!

an awesome Hendrix song is 'Burning Desire" 8.56 minute version from Songs For Groovy Children (disc 3). Costs $2 or less on iTunes.

Wow, this is the tone, the philosophy and the spirit of Jimi. A personal question to you, Thom: Are you playing in a cover band? Greetings to the flying Dutchman from Germany to Ireland.

Hendrix often exploited open strings in his rhythm work. In songs like “Hear My Train a Comin',” “Hey Joe” and “Voodoo Child,” the guitarist used double-stops, trills, slides and other embellishments amidst open-string drones.
