thanks for the 2 lessons on Hey Joe - I thought I could play the rhythm for that song but your lesson shows the correct way to play the rhythm. could you please do a lesson for Highway Chile, I don't think I have ever seen a lesson on YT for that song.
Thanks for your video, you are incredible, one of the best IMHO. I really appreciate rhe passion and feel you put into your videos. Rock on and choose blues 🙏
Jimi had it all , bending , vibrato, passion, aggression, phrasing , tone you name it he had it and then some. Never ever ever will there be another. Another fantastically accurate appraisal by the Guitar pilgrim Thanks again..
Go look up Ernie Isley or Eddie Hazel. Ernie Isley was a student of Jimi Hendrix. His song with the Isley Brothers called Climbin up the Ladder is an amazing display of guitar playing
Damn, you know it's going to be an exotic episode when you have Epic Solos on Jimi Hendrix! Known as the Greatest of all Time for a Reason! Cheers on this one my man!
I love this song when it comes to soloing, something about it makes it so easy to make your solo sound melodic, just by playing in the first position . It’s very open to improvisation
Ahh! Pilgrim, you’ve out done yourself! I’ve listened to this song for about 30 years now, where have you been 😩 Seriously what a blessing it is to have found this channel.
Best sounding version I've found. Used to live a few blocks from Jimmys home. knew his dad Al, however Jimmy was already gone by then. Al, had a real sociably great personality. There are secondary guitarists who with a twist, became famous off what I call mutators of Jimmy's style. Jimmy, was the most innovative and in his absence I have to wonder how his music would have progressed to present day. He was ahead of his time in some respect, it's hard to keep that up but he remains a legend.
Really lovin this series. I think this format might be the best way to learn ot teach a solo. I also learned hotel california way easier this way than someone showing it note for note slowly. Thanks!
Super tutorial, Thom! You are absolutely right about learning to develop the passion in playing needed to get the notes through bending and vibrato that are the hallmark of guitarists like Hendrix, Vaughan, or Shepherd. They’re not the only ones; they’re just the first that come to mind. If I might add this comment: I first started watching your videos in RUclips a few months back. I was looking for some technique ideas. Little did I know the gold mine you’d turn out to be because of your studied expertise, passion for the instrument and the music, and well edited videos (no verbals pauses and no nonsense about the latest latte drink you’ve discovered at the local coffee house!). I appreciate that about your presentations.
Thank you for the post! Especially appreciate the play a long at the slow tempo, with the metronome! So important to see the rhythm of these phrases, IN TIME! So easy to learn a solo or phrase, but not put it under your fingers in time.
I'm just wandering through your videos (quarantine activity). Absolutley love your content, I can't watch a video without getting my guitar. Subscribed :)
What i actually liked watching you play is your whole body expressions. Can really feel how you're having a good time playing these licks and riffs .. rak n' rol
That's what its all about. I know a lot of people who make fun of "funny faces" e.g. Blues Guitarists especially, but it's just the way it is, music is all about feelings
Wow great stuff Thom ! I'm loving being a member of your patreon site. Your an awesome player and you make the lessons so much fun. I would recommend your patreon to everybody who has a love for the guitar.!
Hey Thom. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and I really appreciate your time and effort that you put in. You’re such a wonderful guitar player. I envy you. You make it look so easy. I’m mostly a acoustic chord player. I’ve got nine guitars in my little studio room 10x10. Lol. I’m trying to learn how to play lead guitar. I am so lost. I guess I got sidetracked when I was younger. I’m trying Brother Thank you. Right now I’m working on the lead of hey Joe. Not gonna quit until I get it down pat. Thanks again
If you want to listen a very good cover of Hey Joe, go listen Roberto Ciotti, you can find it on spotify! I think it's one of the best cover of all time of this song! The album is called King of nothing
great stuff thanks fot the great lessonsd filled with passion and emotion. It would would be really great if you could talk about the chords behind the solo and how hendrix aproachex this , i.e what notes is he targeting, is it the root , the 3rds 5ths ? etc
Great video and yes I hit the thumbs up and would love more JMH! Don’t know if you already covered it i will have to check but Little Wing is my favourite song of all time if you want to cover it you would make me a happy man! Thanks 👍🎸🇨🇦
I love hearing most remembrance interpretations of Hendrix and yours is great:) thank you. I think the reversed pickup#1 angle made a sonic difference w/re to Jimi’s tone, and I wish Fender would issue that as part of a Hendrix Strat. What do you think?
Sorry I am not the Pilgrim :) I don't think Fender will do this. If you think it makes a difference, you can just buy a lefty. Gives you the different angled pickup and the reverse headstock.
@Michael thanks for your response. I hear you. But it’s a real head scratcher. These are rhetorical questions (=I’m not expecting an answer and I welcome opinions) that have stuck in my mind since 1968: how is it even possible that Fender didn’t figure out within 3+ years “hey let’s do a Hendrix guitar 😀” and when they did, the lower pickup angle wasn’t reversed. But Here’s a serious practical guitar question which I’ve never heard anyone address: I presume the Lowest pickup on a Strat is angled for a reason. More bass fundamental from the low E string, gradually shifting to increased high end twang from the higher strings. I don’t see how strings above that angled pickup would sound the same if they were reversed, so I assume higher tighter harmonics from the low E and less biting harmonics from the higher strings (on that pickup) is a big part of that Jimi’s tone, and the thing which no one else can replicate. Such a huge obvious question yet I never hear it spoken to. What do you think? Thanks. BTW I say 1968 to allow a year+ for a manufacturer to get the idea and produce it. If I were Fender I’d make a Right handed Hendrix Strat too, which they eventually did but only w/re to the headstock. For me a Hendrix Strat is a Strat arranged as Jimi did. That’s a Hendrix Strat.
@@Ed_Mann I understand that. And the after market understood and there were pickguards for a reverse angled bridge pickup (don't know if they still exist, back then Strats had the pool routing and you may have to route a modern strat to fit a reverse angle). I can't find a reason for Fender to not do that but maybe the routing issue and that quite frankly, a reverse angle really looks strange. People, especially musicians, and especially guitarists - let's say, they like it traditionally :). I personally wouldn't specifically go for such a guitar because I think there are way more things that made Hendrix sound like Hendrix than the angle of the pickups. Or the reverse headstock for that matter, having a different feel when bending. Missing or added harmonics or not, let's face it: with EQ and in a mix, you won't hear the difference. Talking about Stevie Ray Vaughan, whose early death I grief in no way less than Hendrix': he could pull off a Hendrix impersonation in perfection and with such an ease. He didn't have a reverse angled pickup. He is clearly my benchmark when it comes to sounding like Hendrix, and he used a normal Strat configuration. My question would be: why did Fender use that angle in the first place? It doesn't make much sense especially with the already bright single coils, does it?
@@ssm445 thanks Michael, I understand. Sound/Looks…I’d always opt for Sound. But is would be a commitment to add an unusual guitar to your collection and that complicates things. What’s funny is the wealth of “Hendrix tone” videos in which the player uses an instrument that is so far different than Hendrix’s. I don’t think anyone has nailed it but still people try, most weird is I’ve never read or heard Aficionados mention this subject …like never. I assume it’s happened but I’ve never seen it. So I watch 1/2 these videos and then throw my hands in the air because it’s pointless unless there’s a side-by-side Hendrix vs standard Strat comparison. Thanks for endorsing the idea! Maybe someday one of the wealthy Hendrix fan guitar heros will fund the experiment.
Enjoy this video with Extra Resources: ➤ bit.ly/3sfP6rS
You should do Freedom by him next It's an amazing song or Killing Floor.
Guitar Pilgrim I hit the like button, so now you have to add more Hendrix content. I’ll be back to check on you tomorrow...

Thanks again..
Go look up Ernie Isley or Eddie Hazel. Ernie Isley was a student of Jimi Hendrix. His song with the Isley Brothers called Climbin up the Ladder is an amazing display of guitar playing
Dynamics that go from almost unhearable to punching you right in the chest, just by using a goddamn clean tone.
And groove, and soul, and great, and genius!!!
Damn, you know it's going to be an exotic episode when you have Epic Solos on Jimi Hendrix! Known as the Greatest of all Time for a Reason! Cheers on this one my man!
One word for you Pilgrim: Epic!
Hendrix all day long would work for me..lol. Keep them coming! Thank you!
I love this song when it comes to soloing, something about it makes it so easy to make your solo sound melodic, just by playing in the first position . It’s very open to improvisation
Ahh! Pilgrim, you’ve out done yourself! I’ve listened to this song for about 30 years now, where have you been 😩
Seriously what a blessing it is to have found this channel.
This is one of my favourite solos. It sounds amazing played well!
Love Jimi Hendrix. Love this chanel. Tx bro Pilgrin.

ha thank you brother! I do love coffee but indeed, it probably wouldn't make a good video if I would have to talk about that stuff, haha!
Thank you for the post! Especially appreciate the play a long at the slow tempo, with the metronome! So important to see the rhythm of these phrases, IN TIME!
So easy to learn a solo or phrase, but not put it under your fingers in time.
Your stuff is always inspiring. Thank you sir.
You are absolutely right the first note is it. You can’t learn that. You play like you mean it
Your casual, and friendly instructions are a big help. You cover the styles of so many artists. Secrets I've always been looking for. Thanks Thom !

For sure one of the greatest electric guitar soli ever
I love this guy. Learning should always be fun. 😊
4:00 AM here in Arizona, but I’m overjoyed to see a new Guitar Pilgrim video right before going to bed, albeit very late (early?) :)
Danny Martinez - Heya fellow dessert rat! Good to know I’m not the only one catching Thom’s work here in the Southwest.
Simply amazing!!!! Moar!!!!!!
Found it! Told you I was old..lol. Thanks again!

If you want to listen a very good cover of Hey Joe, go listen Roberto Ciotti, you can find it on spotify! I think it's one of the best cover of all time of this song!
The album is called King of nothing
Well done!
Great! Thank you! 🖒🖒
Good lesson cheers 🍻
Great video pls do more on Hendrix
2:59 Damn, even YOUR fingers, I don't want to do this solo now :)
JESUS, your fingertips at 2:50...those strings must be at least 13's huh, man , you are a machine!
Love your videos! More please!
I also gotta pick on you because light years are a measure of distance not time ;)
haha, well you got the point right :)
I have been epxecting this video for a long tine.
More Hendrix please!
Awesome post!
Bravissimo 🎸🖖🏻
good explained in only 6:46... nothing missing - perfect!
Gotta love it because the lick makes me FEEL invincible, intoxicated, immoral, I mean immortal! (little joke there)
I've listened to alot of guitarist on RUclips....ill go with the pilgrim
great stuff thanks fot the great lessonsd filled with passion and emotion. It would would be really great if you could talk about the chords behind the solo and how hendrix aproachex this , i.e what notes is he targeting, is it the root , the 3rds 5ths ? etc

The solo of that song is also very beautiful!
Nice lesson
could you maybe do a john frusciante video?
love your stuff by the way
Definitely do one in the future!
Nice ✌🏼
Nicely done , nice strat what model?
If you want to play like Hendrix, You keep a guitar in your hand..
As with any great musician, It takes many hours of dedication to the instrument.
First record I ever owned in 1967
No one can sound like Hendrix
5:19 sounds like the main riff of whole lotta love played alittle differently
Epic

Great choice of solo. Had to slow you down to 1/4 speed to learn the licks though. Still - great tutorial. Thanks
Very cool!!!
What is your white picķ? Dunlop?
Thanks and continue your great video ! !!
I use 'wegenpicks' they're very good!
@@GuitarPilgrim very cool! What model? Big City? Thanks and god bless you
Timing of first lick is driving me totaly crazy
Muito bom!!
Like so much bro
Beatifull guitar, is an american standart??
