    I like the way you move quick and let experienced guitar players like me play a bit by ear instead of taking forever to show each individual note, too many of the RUclips instructional videos take forever and go too slow, yours is excellent!

    don't just tell yourself your going to practice 1-3 hours a day, if you really want to learn this song I promise you will be motivated to nail it, learning shouldn't be looked at like work or a burden because you could be doing something else, and even if your a beginner anything is possible with enough practice! (you have to start somewhere)

  • @nelsonandres9163

  • @waavhal
    @waavhal 3 года назад +5

    A quick tip: If you are using an acoustic and the barre chords on higher frets are becoming an issue, just use the voicings; like we know how to play A major in standard, play the same but this time, index finger spanning over the 2nd fret and so on.

  • @Cyclist0623
    @Cyclist0623 11 лет назад +30

    Yes, Dylan wrote it. But he specifically gave it to Jimi to play as he saw fit, because he just knew what a fantastic job Jimi would do with this piece. And Dylan sure got that exactly right.

  • @ivchomalkiqa
    @ivchomalkiqa 11 лет назад +2

    I believe the first set of 5 bends on the 14th fret, second string should be a set of 4 bends (and maybe a pause?) instead. Listen to the original song and let me know what you think. I apologise if my terminology is false as I am a total noobie.
    Great tutorial btw. It's very useful that you played the whole thing slowly in the end.

    I think that should always be covered in a lesson especially if you are going to go into enough depth that the guitar is tuned down a step, you should touch on what pedals or amp adjustments could be used to get close to the sound of the song. No it does not have to be exact but something would be nice. Great lesson though, you are one of the best on RUclips as far as I am concerned.

    You think you can learn it about like 2 weeks if you practice maybe 1-3 hours a day? Because im going to play for some teachers at a Highs School of Music, I'm Swedish, and I really need to learn this song so I can get in, because if this song doesn't impress the teachers, nothing does! So do you think I can learn it? I've played guitar before, but then I quited and now I started again, I'm like a beginner, I know shredding and tapping very well, but do you think a "beginner" can learn it?

      AndréA Klass The truth is practice makes perfect. Hendrix took his guitar everywhere with him, And always had it in hand. It's the same reason why bruce Lee was so good at martial arts. Bruce Lee would practice/train non stop. Even while watching t.v he would shadow box, Or do push ups. I feel like it's insulting to say they are just talented. Because majority of people who knew or lived with Hendrix (like ronnie wood) Say he practically slept with his guitar. So in other words.... Practice, Practice, Practice.

    AATW has got to be one of the most exciting songs to play on the guitar. Absolutely love it.

    I've tried every method of trying to do barre chords my fingers just can't get the barre down I put a lot of pressure on my barre and it still doesn't work any suggestions on what to use instead of a barre chord help

      just practice heaps you will get it. You can try not playing the top strings so you still sound good while developing strength.

      have you tried playing it with the thumb on the low E string and the rest of your fingers playing the chord like its a first position f chord? its the same sound except you leave off the A string unless you have enormous thumbs like hendrix did

      You've probably learnt how to barre by now, but try rolling whatever finger you're using to barre a little, and make sure the finger is close to the fret line. Also, make your hand kind of like a clip, with your thumb flat on the back of the neck.

      something I havent seen suggested, and something most people forget........the guitar factor.
      some lower to mid guitars can be a real bitch to do barre chords, even for an intermediate. Has your guitar been properly set up ? is the action the best it can be ?
      If you have already tried and practiced, it may be the actual instrument holding you back, granted I dont know your level, but something to look at
