Not to be confused with guitar players who suck (ruclips.net/video/j5QLpDjTMag/видео.html) or guitar players who lie (ruclips.net/video/g1Jd6mm3Xck/видео.html) :D
Haha no worries lmao, I'm just pulling your leg. But not to cop out on you question, there's not much light to shed. I can't disagree with your opinion that he isn't hammers and nails for everyone people. But I should say that his innovation and amazing playing isn't limited to just his 'Best ofs' e.g. Voodoo Chile, Little Wing etc. He has a couple of gospel/blues track called 'message to love' and 'come down hard on me baby' that you should check out, and after that check out a track called 'Once I had a Woman' on the LP 'Blues'. You can find it here vimeo.com/21260059 and it starts at 12:33 and it is just staggering. The playing on those three tracks are what made me really dive into Jimi Hendrix's music and playing and realise how amazing he is. That's about as much light as I can give without writing an essay on how his fretwork, songwriting and manipulation of effects changed the world, I'm afraid haha
Essentially to me, it's like looking at Jeff Buckley and only judging his guitar playing or singing through songs like Last Goodbye or Hallelujah (songs he is most famous for) when, like Jimi Hendrix, he actually created a whole universe of music not known by many people. For example, Strange Fruit by Jeff Buckley (which is a live performance and never made it onto an album) is completely improvised by Jeff on the spot and if I hadn't found it then I would have never guessed that Jeff Buckley was a secret guitar god. I'm sure you know quite a few musicians who are just amazing and people doubt you because they haven't heard everything you've heard?
Because Jimi wasn’t a blues purist... even though songs like Red House are among the best blues ever performed. It’s essentially the story of why Eric Clapton left the Yardbirds. They wanted to get more into psychedelia and hard rock.. Clapton was a blues purist. And while as the Yardbirds and New Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin they were still heavily blues-based (especially as most bands returned to blues from around 1968 on like The Doors, The Rolling Stones, the Beatles) their more experimental stuff as well as forays into Folk (LZ III) and Eastern music (Physical Graffiti) would never have been tolerated.
Hendrix is overrated, overplayed by guitarists and radio, overly discussed, tired, over-worshipped and its not even his fault. I don't dislike him but if I hear another Hendrix riff or song/cover or praise of his music I will most likely set myself on fire after swollowing more fire while walking into oncoming traffic. .. Interstate traffic and hope speeders are doing at least 90 when all this goes down and NOT PLAYING HENDRIX On their radio as they hit me.
well of course im going to shit on the guy who doesn't like hendrix, who is literally the one of the best guitarist/innovator/song writers ever, maybe even the best.
I feel like sweeping is overrated though, while it does require technical skill and can sound amazing most of the time it just feels like something that gets thrown into a solo for the sake of it being there. Its subjective to opinion but at times sweeping can seem almost pretentious.
You can get cool sounds with sweep picking that you can't get it without sweep picking. Therefor people use this technique to implement these sounds into their solo. They don't just use it for no reason
i sweep pick. quite a bit, actually, that and i tap. why? because i suck at straight-picking runs. a shredder i am not. unfortunately, i can't play in free time with a drummer, so i have to stick to the beat and the measure of the song. sweeping has allowed me to "fake" fast legato or picking runs while staying in time with the drummer. sweeping is a tool. i don't do it for its sound (even if it sounds great). i think si the riff guy is talking about dragonforce levels of sweeping where it's unecessary. while in the video, it's a rag on guitar players who have tried sweeping for 5 minutes and given up. it has been so badly mishandled recently that people tend to jump on the hate train against sweeping as a knee-jerk reaction without thinking possibly that the guitarist may have had a reason to use that technique. i lost count of how many times people called me pretentious for doing tapping instead of runs, but unlike señor vai up there, i can't use a single hand to hammer the third and 18th fret. tapping can be a flashy tool, but it's also a very effective one in a musical context, especially clean guitar when playing arpeggios. both being overrated techniques don't invalidate their use. both are very useful techniques with unique sounds, and i'll keep using them in my playing despite some people using both to look and sound cool.
Lots of guitar players are. Eddie Van Halen of all people considers himself a rhythm guitarist. But.. listen to Panama.. and you can really hear his rhythm shine.
Dude I love all your guitars I want a PRS so bad I have a 2015 Gibson Les Paul Classic sea foam green and a Synyster gates joker edition I just want another nice one to add to my collection
I would love to hear you on The Captain Meets (Andertons), if you're ever in England you should definitely ask about it. It would definitely be beneficial to you as well.
Big talk for someone who did not play us anything, music can be whatever you want it to be. Even if you listen to a child just randomly trying to play, it will grow on you with enough listens.🎸
I swear bro, I literally love the person that you seem to be. Your personality seriously makes my day. Like when I come home after a shitty day, the first thing I do is open YT & HOPE to see an MIW video on my feed & even if I don't see one I fucking FIND one because you make me fucking smile! I know how gay all of this sounds lol (not like there's anything wrong with being gay, I'm just not gay myself), I promise I'm not hitting on you lol. I just wanted you to know that you're not only an amazing guitar player, you're also a wonderful human being. & you haven't ever made a single bad or boring video. & not to put you on a pedestal, I'm not saying that you're better than the guy I'm about to mention, I know that this man is a musical GOD, but I'd LEGIT rather listen to you than Steve Vai. You're in my top 5-10 fave guitarists of all time, no question. It's like dear God, what did we do to do deserve such an amazing creature?! Lol. Thank you for all that you are & all that you do!
Dude, like 20 years ago, I was at the beach, around a bonfire of sorts, had a Jacket with a Jimi Hendrix patch on it, then a couple of douchebags came to join and one of them told me "Jimi Hendrix is so overrated, he only plays 3 chords" as the other guy laughed. I still want to punch the bastard in the face. BTw someone passed the guitar to him and he started to play some jazzy chords and stuff, like in 30 seconds nobody cared what he was doing and a girl told him to pass the guitar back to the guy that was playing before.
Okay, I kind of agree with the hendrix one, but hear me out... he's still an absolute god on guitar and I'm not saying he's bad, because he's sure as hell not, he's just as good as everyone says and more, but I don't think he's the best ever, I feel there have been better guitarists since him
So true i constantly read opinions that blow me away sometimes. Guitar players who cut other llayers down or certain techniques that are used. Get a life sweep picking is not easy to incorporate into music and is just one of the upper level techniques used by guitar players. Steve Via is obviously a great guitarist, and so is Jimmy Hendrix but this is a fine example of how people make dumb statements about professional guitar players.
Not gonna lie, I much prefer neck through or set neck guitars, but with brand like Ibanez and Music Man the bolt on construction doesn't get in the way at all.
"It's just more interesting that way duh." Is the funniest part of the video, and I can say that with absolute certainty, even though I haven't finished the video.
My music theory knowledge level is quite low, i only know basics (few scales, notes on thefretboard and bits and pieces about modes) and i would like to purchase one of your online courses. I mostly play everything between blues and hard rock. So could you/someone who knows tell me which course would be the best for me. I really like tylers channel and i feel like i can learn so much from him so i figured i could try those online courses.
Ok. The last joke I could kill you for. 😂😂😂😂😂. I laughed and then you brought up Hendrix and I'm just like. Woah not cool dude!!! 😂😂😂. But who am I kidding. I laughed the entire time. 👍😂
I'm a mere beginner; I've only played 3 years. But, there's a quote I think "players" like this should consider: "What you do in the dark, defines how you shine in the light".
Found out the cringe way that Guitar Center is the last place to meet a guitarist. You meet more interesting musicians at Jiffy Lube getting their oil changed.
Is that thing about wound strings true? I don't know well enough the materials a string is made of but I honestly don't believe they are the only factor determining the string being kept in tune.
Is it really crucial to learn all of these scales? Because every so often there's some dude who decides to be a douchebag and ask me to play this particular scale which of course, I do not know and yells " OHH GAWD U SUCK M8, YOU DON'T KNOW ANY SCALES" ( I know a few scales like major scale and few pentatonic scales, that's pretty much it). How can I possibly deal with these types of people without doing the same thing they did?
My eyes literally bulged out of my head when he utter the words thag would guarantee him a place in guitar player he'll right he took the place of people who just leave their guitars on the ground
A year and a half late, but I have to say that when I stumbled across this video titled and clicked, I was disappointed to learn that it was not a how to video. ;)
I think allot of people don't understand the feel thing. Feel doesn't mean that you bend a string and act like you're having a orgasm.. *What I think it means* is that you tell a story in that solo. And that story has to come from your heart. That story doesn't always have to be sad. But it can be anything. My guitar teacher once tried to explain to me how that works, and what he did was play a pretty simple blues solo and he told a story while he played it. The story had a beginning and an ending, and you could hear that in the solo he played. From that day on I never looked at solos the same again. B.B King is master in it btw. So the thing with those people who go up and down in a pentatonic as fast as possible. It just doesn't say anything to me. BUT I do find it impressive and all. And no I can't do that. :) But what I also find impressive is that guy who beat the world record in most notes played per second.. But I would never listen to that, because it sounded horrible.
I'm just saying a few things. Sweeping is becoming quite immature, in the sense that lots of kids think it is the be all and end all. However, when done tastefully, it is dope! I've had people ask me if I can sweep, and when I said no they started laughing, however when I asked them to play a scale outside of the pentatonic and they just stared, confused! (This was all in a guitar shop, the kid was actually pretty decent at playing Avenged Sevenfold songs but not really anything else) Steve Vai is a fantastic guitarist but I would actually say he is over-rated. Just an opinion and I respect yours, but Paul Gilbert is much better technically and 'soulfully'.
Not to be confused with guitar players who suck (ruclips.net/video/j5QLpDjTMag/видео.html) or guitar players who lie (ruclips.net/video/g1Jd6mm3Xck/видео.html) :D

I hear that Jimi Hendrix one a lot. A whole lot. And it gets on my nerves.
He was innovative but his playing to me wasn't that amazing (except Voodoo child). SRV is the best in my opinion
And so it begins.
Lmao I'm just giving my opinion. Please shed some light so I understand where your coming from
Haha no worries lmao, I'm just pulling your leg. But not to cop out on you question, there's not much light to shed. I can't disagree with your opinion that he isn't hammers and nails for everyone people. But I should say that his innovation and amazing playing isn't limited to just his 'Best ofs' e.g. Voodoo Chile, Little Wing etc.
He has a couple of gospel/blues track called 'message to love' and 'come down hard on me baby' that you should check out, and after that check out a track called 'Once I had a Woman' on the LP 'Blues'. You can find it here vimeo.com/21260059 and it starts at 12:33 and it is just staggering. The playing on those three tracks are what made me really dive into Jimi Hendrix's music and playing and realise how amazing he is. That's about as much light as I can give without writing an essay on how his fretwork, songwriting and manipulation of effects changed the world, I'm afraid haha
Essentially to me, it's like looking at Jeff Buckley and only judging his guitar playing or singing through songs like Last Goodbye or Hallelujah (songs he is most famous for) when, like Jimi Hendrix, he actually created a whole universe of music not known by many people. For example, Strange Fruit by Jeff Buckley (which is a live performance and never made it onto an album) is completely improvised by Jeff on the spot and if I hadn't found it then I would have never guessed that Jeff Buckley was a secret guitar god.

Sounds like every blues purist at guitar center
Alex Acosta why would a blues purist say that Jimi is overrated
Because Jimi wasn’t a blues purist... even though songs like Red House are among the best blues ever performed.
It’s essentially the story of why Eric Clapton left the Yardbirds. They wanted to get more into psychedelia and hard rock.. Clapton was a blues purist. And while as the Yardbirds and New Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin they were still heavily blues-based (especially as most bands returned to blues from around 1968 on like The Doors, The Rolling Stones, the Beatles) their more experimental stuff as well as forays into Folk (LZ III) and Eastern music (Physical Graffiti) would never have been tolerated.
Hendrix is overrated, overplayed by guitarists and radio, overly discussed, tired, over-worshipped and its not even his fault. I don't dislike him but if I hear another Hendrix riff or song/cover or praise of his music I will most likely set myself on fire after swollowing more fire while walking into oncoming traffic.

Jimi Hendrix isn't overrated, he is just good enough at guitar to make anyone jealous.
@@silentsounds787 Hendrix is one of the best guitar players to have ever graced the presence of the universe
Probably the one of the best guitarist's could possibly be somebody that just plays at home for own pleasure
Alphonsel Rotting Truth has been spoken!
guitarists
Why do guitarist all hate on each other , who gives a fuck it's music , it's subjective
Hutt the Jabba Eh, Idk
Hutt the Jabba because they are too bored but too lazy to practice guitar
Because they are jealous. Eveyone wants to be the best.
well of course im going to shit on the guy who doesn't like hendrix, who is literally the one of the best guitarist/innovator/song writers ever, maybe even the best.
Cause it's always about competition. Losers need their boost in self esteem by acting like they're better.
I feel like sweeping is overrated though, while it does require technical skill and can sound amazing most of the time it just feels like something that gets thrown into a solo for the sake of it being there. Its subjective to opinion but at times sweeping can seem almost pretentious.

i think si the riff guy is talking about dragonforce levels of sweeping where it's unecessary. while in the video, it's a rag on guitar players who have tried sweeping for 5 minutes and given up. it has been so badly mishandled recently that people tend to jump on the hate train against sweeping as a knee-jerk reaction without thinking possibly that the guitarist may have had a reason to use that technique.
i lost count of how many times people called me pretentious for doing tapping instead of runs, but unlike señor vai up there, i can't use a single hand to hammer the third and 18th fret. tapping can be a flashy tool, but it's also a very effective one in a musical context, especially clean guitar when playing arpeggios.
both being overrated techniques don't invalidate their use. both are very useful techniques with unique sounds, and i'll keep using them in my playing despite some people using both to look and sound cool.

listen to some chet atkins, he'll change your mind.

Under a glass moon is an amazing solo and the sweep picking there is spot on

Almost threw my phone when you talked shit about Hendrix
I do like using weird voicings though... I think that they add texture and create a different feel. Oh my God am I an annoying guitar player?!?!

Thank God I never met anyone like this. Except for the Cliff Burton comment, I knew some kid who said that all the time but wasn't a Guitarist.
And when he said that last one all the guitar players charged in
So true i constantly read opinions that blow me away sometimes. Guitar players who cut other llayers down or certain techniques that are used. Get a life sweep picking is not easy to incorporate into music and is just one of the upper level techniques used by guitar players. Steve Via is obviously a great guitarist, and so is Jimmy Hendrix but this is a fine example of how people make dumb statements about professional guitar players.
Not gonna lie, I much prefer neck through or set neck guitars, but with brand like Ibanez and Music Man the bolt on construction doesn't get in the way at all.
"It's just more interesting that way duh." Is the funniest part of the video, and I can say that with absolute certainty, even though I haven't finished the video.

Overrated is Wes Montgomery and bob dylan
The point is every guitarplayer that is honest, at least good at strumming and appreciate any guitarskill is a good guitarist.
Who made the outro music? I like the steel drum
What's that song at the end it's so great

I'll own that Cliff Burton one.
okay, the rest of it was annoying, but not that bad. But if you think Hendrix is overrated, you've got a fucking problem
Is the thing about double wound and regular g strings true?
I've known sooooooo many guitarists like this.
That's why it's so fuck'n funny!!!
I think allot of people don't understand the feel thing. Feel doesn't mean that you bend a string and act like you're having a orgasm.. *What I think it means* is that you tell a story in that solo. And that story has to come from your heart. That story doesn't always have to be sad. But it can be anything. My guitar teacher once tried to explain to me how that works, and what he did was play a pretty simple blues solo and he told a story while he played it. The story had a beginning and an ending, and you could hear that in the solo he played. From that day on I never looked at solos the same again. B.B King is master in it btw.
So the thing with those people who go up and down in a pentatonic as fast as possible. It just doesn't say anything to me.
BUT I do find it impressive and all. And no I can't do that. :)
But what I also find impressive is that guy who beat the world record in most notes played per second.. But I would never listen to that, because it sounded horrible.
I'm just saying a few things.
Sweeping is becoming quite immature, in the sense that lots of kids think it is the be all and end all. However, when done tastefully, it is dope!
I've had people ask me if I can sweep, and when I said no they started laughing, however when I asked them to play a scale outside of the pentatonic and they just stared, confused! (This was all in a guitar shop, the kid was actually pretty decent at playing Avenged Sevenfold songs but not really anything else)
Steve Vai is a fantastic guitarist but I would actually say he is over-rated. Just an opinion and I respect yours, but Paul Gilbert is much better technically and 'soulfully'.
Y'know who's a really good guitarist? Me *obnoxious snickering followed by sobbing*

Why don't you do a Video on how to Fingerstyle Play? That'd be useful!
Is the wound G string thing true?
I am able to relate to the gstring being out of tune
