Hendrix Major Chord Technique

[Robert]

Jimi Hendrix style major chords - this is fun! Jimi was a master at embellishing chords, and in this lesson, we will learn a few of these techniques. Jimi used a lot variation and creativity as well as great technique, when he played this way. Take this concept further if you can - use hammer-ons and pull-offs and slides and what not, to further enhance your chording options.

Very nice, Robert, thanks! I love that chord sound/technique so it's nice to see how it's done.

Excellent lesson, Robert. The new camera looks great even at full screen.

Very nice! I am going to start using that technique right away in the songs I am learning with my new jam group.

I saw this earlier when it popped up of FB. Love the new camera, Robert. The lesson was spot on and I like how you presented it.

Dig the camera, great lesson, with lots of ways to adapt it. But I was wondering if I could get you to write a note to my girlfriend, excusing me from work for the day. She wants to know why I didn't get anything done around the house. (Yes really, I got nothing done, except LOTS of practicing)

Another awesome lesson! You've really raised the bar with your recent video reviews and lessons. Thank you.

 

[Robert]

Thanks again. Tio, here's the note.

Please do not let Tio go to work until he cleans his room!

Simple technique that sounds really cool. Since you are playing the chords as barres, you can use the barre for some hammer-ons and pull offs too in a similar fashion.

Great lesson Robert as usual nicely demonstrated and clearly shown, I love the black background which helps a lot to get a better definition on the guitar neck :rockya

I was actually working on Lenny demonstrated by Stevie Snacks and it features some of the Hendrix signature licks
