How to Play Izabella - Fillmore East Live Version

- Hendrix never ceases to amaze me. There are some gems in every song that give you insight into the way he thought and his musical genius. Be patient because I jumped around a little but you will see what I am doing. I did not go into the solo section although I do touch on it briefly. His note progressions are pure Hendrix, simple but so concise. Below is a list of my equipment I was using to simulate the sound from the album. I just mix and match the pedals I have with my 1959 Bassman amp until I find a tone that is close. I (attempt to) play the song at Jimi's blistering speed at the end.
Guitar: Nash S-68HX left handed Strat, Hendrix gauge strings, 10, 13, 15, 26, 32, 38. I am slowly getting used to the light strings.
Amp: Original 1959 Tweed Bassman that has been re-tweeded. Plugged into the Normal channel.
Pedals: Classic Amplification Vibe-Baby, Dunlop Mini Germanium Fuzz Face (FFM2), Fulltone OCD V.4, and an Area 51 Alienist. All were on at the same time. The OCD adds a little bottom and crunch. The Alienist enhances the Vibe and adds a little treble and clean boost. I always run through a vintage 1963 Fender reverb unit just before the amp.
I mean... this just shows how genius and unique the man was. Truly the best hands down
you nailed the tone and vibe
Man .... you’ve blown my mind out .... Izabella is my all time Jimi Hendrix song ever , well done man ❤️🔥🌟💫✨🙏🏼🇦🇺
Thanks so much for watching Leandro. Please be sure to subscribe.
Your're a master of tone Millstap. That '63 reverb tank sounds awesome, hope I can get one someday.
The originals are almost the same price as the reissues and still sound better. Just be patient and you will find one. I think the mid '60's black Tolex ones are cheaper although it seems they did not make too many of those.
Man...! Millstap, you never cease to amaze me in how well you have gotten to play and sound like Jimi! The hard work is paying off my friend! ...soon i'll be holding you - instead of this machine..gun... hey Izabella!
You blown my mind man that’s my Jimi Hendrix favourite number , all the best from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you
Cool. Not much else to do but jam during this crazy pandemic. How's it going in Adelaide? Are you free to move around?
millstap no my brother we must keep social distance from one another but so far everything is awesome thank you my brother ( I’ve read this it changed my life “have you ever stopped to be grateful for how perfect your life is right now at this moment “ ) my friend my deepest respect for you , I feel this respect and caring for you as you are someone really special to be able to play Hendrix like you do and help others to learn man bless you 🙏🏼
Thanks for helping teach. Important. Not just play, or we can always put a Jimi cd on. I really appreciate your teaching.
Millstap you are awesome ,same tone .I hear Jimi from 40 years and you be the next.Thanks master
Thanks for the nice compliment Eliza. It is much appreciated. I guess my tone isn't too bad considering that I am using Fender amps instead of Marshalls. But then, Jimi did use a lot of Fender amps in the studio.
Excellent lesson! Nailed so much of Jimis genius,really well done!!
He still never ceases to amaze me 51 yrs later. Such imagination, such genius.
Ah maaaan your an absolute saviour, once I've got little wing down I'm coming for you izabella!
Good deal. Enjoy. I'm working on Astroman right now, from Everybody Should Own One.
Youre a tone wizard.
Love your videos and really dig the Hendrix vibe , DIG!
bro i love you so much thank you so much lol. i have been trying to figure this song out for a min. this is the best hendrix song i have ever heard transitioning into machine gun like all as one song really on the filmore east version. its literally chills man...these chord progressions are so fucking electric lol idk how hendrix thought of some of this stuff.. i can go all day trading licks and figuring out licks but every new song i learn from him i find like some new inversion of a chord and sometimes just that blows my mins , he really really found that ELECTRIC SOUND through the ether
this is it.exact tone.nail it
Much gratitude for this detailed explanation on this song, such a blessing for me to be able to learn this song
Thank you for generously sharing this knowledge to us.
May god bless you with good health!
Thank you. Health is your most valuable asset.
Your guitar 🎸 super we love Jimi Hendrix.(RUSSIAN).
Hello Alex. I love this guitar too. The reverse headstock makes a huge difference in the way the strings feel. I don't like playing a standard headstock anymore.
millstap I saw this comment 2 years late! what do you find makes the reverse headstock different? do your low strings have less tension?
@@tom.guitar22 different tension I think
very helpful indeed, thanks very much!
Thanks for watching.
Hahaha it’s my ringtone and when it restarted at one point went mad looking for phone hahahah your awesome man thanks
You need to learn villinova junction Woodstock version
I agree! And teach us haha
Apoc Banditz grandma told me at very young age about manners and using the magic word “please “ he doesn’t “Need” to lean anything, he’s not getting paid by you , “you need to learn it and teach us Bandido” how’s that sound for you ?
Millsap ~thank you again you inspired me to play though a very hard times with my tone just couldn't get it done...i play a Marshall 90% of the time modern vintage with love pedal super 6 and clean...boost chasing tone
You’re amazing man! A true disciple of the blues. Keep it going man 😎🤘🏾🔥
You are great man for doing lessons like this thank you millstrap!
Christopher Smith You’re definitely welcome.
Thank you kindly! Dig; my guitar playing has improved suddenly and I have been wanting to just learn some "tricks" of strategies for playing differently. I can play what-ever as far as dexterity but needed some artistic inspiration. Far out, man.
Jimi is great for giving you some rut busting innovative ideas.
I hate seeing these type of videos because it makes me feel like a dumbass. I dont mean any sort of disrespect about the tutorial at all. I love hendrix and all of his songs but when someone breaks it down like you did i can immediately see which pentatonic scales, chords, and techniques that he used that i already know and that i would never have thought of lol. Its like he basically just made it work with pure pentatonic scales and somehow the melodies just came to him. Fuck my life lmfao. Rock on Hendrix and Great video!
No, that's a great thing. The same thing happened to me. From the years of trying to learn too many scales, you end up mixing in a bunch of notes into the pentatonic scale that make it sound different. I think Jimi realized the pentatonic scale was a scale for a reason and he stuck by it and made it work to his advantage. I used to always throw in a couple of passing notes on fast passages just to make it easier to play but if you jump straight to the next note in the pentatonic scale (which can be more difficult) you hear the true essence of the pentatonic scale. Of course, Jimi played whatever he heard and played notes that weren't in any scale, just the Jimi scale.
Thanks man!
I only recently found this out but maybe some of you out there are as ignorant as me.
If you click the stack of three dots up in the corner of the screen, you can slow vids down
Really helps especially with this one!
I never knew that either. Actually, on my Chrome browser, it is the gear looking icon in the lower right hand corner of the video screen. Then I also had to go back and choose a high video quality like 720P. Pretty cool. Thanks.
🙏🏼👍🏻😃
billyclub56 ive only just found that out too!
That's how you get your guitar lessons midnight till sun up. No more going down to the old crossroads. You'd get jacked up by cops if you went down there today. They'd think you were homeless and you might wake up in a boxcar heading to Sacramento.
Yeah thank you!
You're welcome Cyd. Please spread the word and subscribe.
Killer tone 🔥
Great job Milstap,,,,as usual,,,,hope all is well Down East,,,,hope you and your family are safe after these horrible hurricanes,,,,be well ,,,DD in Los Angeles
Hey Dave. We got lucky and had the best fall weather in many years, clear, cool and dry. We were surrounded by the storms on the east and west. It got slightly windy one evening from Irma. It is amazing how huge those storms are . The humidity is going to creep up this week which always makes it feel hotter.
I love this song!!! very well done! \○/ =]
Hey man, how much would you want for tabs ?
Playthrough: 20:50
Sir, I so appreciate your Hendrix/Gypsies Fillmore videos. You do an incredible job. These are a god send! Im also working on Who Knows - Live at Fillmore East, 12/31/69 -2ND set. Some fascinating soloing in there. Have you ever thought about trying that? If you do I want to know!!!
I have worked on the very beginning of the solo. Jimi's solos are just about impossible to teach because there is so much detail in them. I can usually show some of his signature licks and then you take if from there and use it when you are improvising. Jimi was improvising all of the time so it is a good goal to get to that level of improvisation. That is very difficult and the reason why Jimi is Jimi and we are not. I'm working on Hear My Train from People, Hell, and Angels and will post that next. After that, I may do Ezy Ryder. But I will check out this Who Knows solo.
@@millstap awesome looking forward to it. That Fillmore Ezy Ryder solo is nuts. Would love to see you do that. My favourite version is Live at Fillmore East 12/31/69 - 1st set. By the way these are all available on the “Songs for Groovy Children” Fillmore collection that was released not too long ago. Hence my specific titles
Thanks millstap ! If you have time to show us the biggining part of machine gun live at Filmore east 1970 it will be amazing.
Gracias
Ya man! that`s it.
I agree my man...Once you learn the note and placement, its such a fun jam to play
I've almost got the last part of Jungle done. What a job that was. I'm still trying to memorize it perfectly. He does some Jimi'sisms in there that I just recently discovered so I'm glad I took my time learning it.
@@millstap yea! Jungle I love tune, I've been learning it. Looking forward to part 2
Cool man...we bad understand you.
tubular, man!!
Great Lesson ! Do you know any other Fillmore East songs you could do a tutorial on ?
You should do a video about all of your strats
About their history or just playing them? I have one of me playing all four to hear the difference in the pickups.
I think a video including both would be great
Hey Millstap! thx for this it’s awesome! I was going to buy the machine gun tab book but it doesn’t have all the songs in it - like hear my train. What do you think about the tab books? do you have any of them like the woodstock one or complete collection ?
I've hardly ever looked at tabs. I guess they can be helpful if they are accurate. I don't see how they can accurately describe every little nuance but maybe they can. I wouldn't mind having some of his cords in tabs because those are the hardest for me to figure out. Luckily, there are many RUclipsrs that explain the chords if I ever need help. I like to challenge my ear and figure them out but I don't always get them right.
@@millstap awesome thx for replying !
Dude! Nobody compares to your tone when it comes to Hendrix. NOBODY!!
Wow. Thanks. It is interesting that really all I have done it use the same gear minus the giant Marshall amps. Plus, I guess I grew up listening to Jimi but never, ever thinking I could play any of his stuff. I didn't tackle my first Jimi song until after 45 years of playing.
Hey Millstap, you're the greatest one, as always. Which is the order of the pedals?
It is Vibe Baby into the Mini Fuzz Face into the Area 51 wah-wah (not used in this song) into the OCD, V.4, into the Area 51 Alienist, into the 1963 Fender reverb unit, into the amp. Actually, after the Alienist it goes into the Framptone 3 Banger amp switcher into the reverb unit then the amp.
millstap thanks a lot, you are very kind as always
Las tablaturas?
Awesome......
Looks like someone pressed the fast forward button when you're up at the 15th fret
That's what it feels like. I wonder if they were on speed or something.
Lol,
I'm guessing speed, something and something else!
My god.
my man millstap, please look into burning desire from the filmore east. the song is a masterpiece. at least the intro! i cant figure it out. and if you have the time please check out my semi cover of hey baby from the blue wild angel live album, i couldnappreciate some feedback if you have the time (:
Do you know how to play hey joe Woodstock encore?? Would you be interested in creating a vid just like this dedicated to that performance? Blows my mind every time I listen to it!
If I recall correctly Jimi popped his high E & had to improv the closing solo on the spot! Kickass solo, & even with five strings he was still able to throw in a Beatle's lick for good measure !! 😂🤘🏻
I'll have to check that out. I don't remember it but I will listen to it now.
Thanks for the consideration brotha, Beatles 'I feel fine' see if you can catch it haha
blackops2isreallybad love that part, didn’t know if anyone noticed it, he obviously listened to the Beatles a fair amount as you can hear he plays with some of their licks and ideas. Love when artists appreciate each other
I think Hal leonard made a tab book for woodstock jimi’s set. It has that song you should check the book out
We playing on the China (shit).good guitar 🎸 very much price. Молодец чувак так держать.
That's too bad. I bet it would cost way too much to get a Nash Strat shipped to Russia. You'll have to come visit us and take one home with you.
Thanks for a great video! Just a quick thought or question maybe. I know that Jim was a master of not playing the same song twice, but do you think alot of his on the spot things were ideas that he already had and was able to just put them in to the songs that he was doing at that time? Or were they just plucked from thin air? I know that there are some things that just don't make sense on how he was able to do them.
That's a real mystery to me. I have a feeling it is a combination of both. I think he had such a command of the guitar that he could play just about anything he could hear in his head. And what he heard was otherworldly. It was mentioned several times in books that he was hearing music in his head at a young age. That was his gift. And, I think, since he played constantly, that he worked out things before hand and was able to more easily recall them in a split second. They must have rehearsed a lot because it also amazes me that the bass player was able to follow him on some of the strangest progressions. On the blues jams that he plays differently every time, that is just him having fun and trying to see what new territory he can discover. He was always pushing the limits to keep from getting stagnant.
Thanks for replying. Yes it amazes me that Billy Cox was able to follow him and not only follow him but sometimes stretch out as well. Yes It is truly amazing that no matter how many versions of a live song that he has it is always something that makes the hair stand up in like: "How did you do that, or What was he thinking , or not thinking that he was able to pull that off"! The thing that I really hate though is that we will never know and most of the interviews that I have read or seen he never states anything about why this was played this way compared to that way.
Any chance you could do a video showing your right hand technique?
Yes, I just ordered a wide angle lens for my camera and that will make it easier for me to get the whole guitar in future videos. I should get it this week.
is your D string the 26 wound or is it just a steel string? its pretty hard to find wound 26, just curious.
It is a wound .026" D which is standard in the 10-46 set of D'Addario XL's. I have been making my own Jimi set out of the XL's which gets a little wasteful. I recently tried the Fender Voodoo Child 10-38 set and they are not bad but a little brighter than the D'Addarios. I have a pure nickel set of the Voodoo Childs that I have not tried yet. I might like those better. So I end up buying single .015", .032" and .038" strings to make a D'Addario set. I also have the 10-38 Pyramid set that I have not tried yet. I love D'Addario but the Fender Bullet set is not bad at all.
@@millstap Okay yeah that makes sense, when buying single strings I cant find a wound .26 from D'Addario but I have them in my standard 10 - 46 sets so thats what i have been using. As for the .15 g I have been ordering those as singles
Hey Millstap, any advice on cleaning my strat saddles? They're a bit rusty these days...
Sir Stashalot a wire brush or some really fine grit sand paper (~1500 grit) should work.
Thank you! Sounds like it will work wonders.
What pickup selection did you use?😊
I used the neck pickup but I’ve seen Jimi using his bridge pickup. I can’t get the same sound on the bridge. Might have something to do with using high capacitance coily cables like Jimi did.
@@millstap thank u for replying pls do more of jimi vids like this, keep it man!
Que afinación está?
Eb.
what's the tape for?
That was to put friction on the volume knob so it doesn’t turn easily. I eventually placed rubber friction rings under two of the knobs because they are easily turned when you don’t want to on an upside down Strat.
Is it just me or is there a little flanger in the tone?
Yes, it is the Vibe-Baby which is a Uni-Vibe clone pedal.
I should probably look around your stuff first, but would you mind telling me about your fuzz and amp?
4 people must not play guitar, so I give Their Lives a thumbs down,hahahahahahah
Nuvibe❤❤❤❤❤❤🎸🎸🎸🎸🪂🪂🪂
