    I am happy to release my new free online guitar lesson on how to play Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing.
    Little Wing is burned into most of us guitar players. I realize that I had not been playing it exactly the right way for the last 30 years :) So, I learned it in a manner much closer to the original. But even after learning it, my hands were too small to actually play it correctly in some ways.
    I think the thing to do in this situation is make it your own because his feel is so profoundly loose and great at the same time, it's really always a bit out of reach.

If you passed him on the street you would never suspect that he has played on some of the greatest recordings ever made. Looks can be deceiving, but the talent is incredible.

I would not have possibly gotten anywhere near this mans level of instruction. RUclips has us all spoiled, we have access to so much at no cost.

    First, thank you so much for sharing your talent. Second, a quick tale from eons ago as in 1969. I'm 15 1/2 years young and living in Los Angeles when news starts floating round that Mr. Jimi will be playing The Devonshire Fair Grounds. Tickets were $3.50. Sold American! My friend and I are sitting about fifteen feet from Hendrix and my eyes are burning his hands hoping to learn something. ( I learned that I knew nothing yet) My teacher at Lou Adler's Music, and good 'ol Mel Bay books, kept preaching to me about my big thumb creeping up and over the neck but here was The Man himself using his thumb on the low E all over the fret board. When we got home and grabbed our Fenders I found myself trying to plant that E and a whole world opened up while another collapsed. I stopped my lessons and just played every chance I got.

      My guess is that it's people who came for a note for note instruction of the original track off of Axis: Bold As Love, who got turned off as soon as they heard the soloing, and if they waited that out, found out it's just an instruction on the intro. If it's not what you expected and want, you might hit the thumbs down. I didn't, but I'll certainly need to go elsewhere to find the rest of it.

    I applaud anyone like Tim that dedicates their life to music and finding perfection everyday. Jimi was great because he practiced more than anyone else. He had his guitar where ever he went. Jimi was blessed with incredibly long fingers and large hands, but a man with smaller hands have an advantage too. It all comes down to what your goals are and how hard you want to work at it. Nothing comes easy.

    Began playing guitar at 8 years old, took some guitar lessons, cut by teeth on sixties folk rock, heard Hendrix and got bit playing through out junior high and high school in a rock band, even in night clubs. Took martial arts in my mid twenties under third ranked world Zen Karate Doe instructor, converted to Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism at 29. Perused many You Tube videos of guitar instructors. Tim Pierce is at that caliber of professionalism of the aforementioned martial arts instructor. Uncanny nuance. Your focus is your reality. Thanks Mr. Pierce!

      But all hendrix recordings are out of tune.
      They deliberately sell you a recording that plays out of tune.
      They play slow and the notes get stretched and play out of tune.
      You're SO stupid, when you hear the drummer's cowbell sound you can't tell that's not a real cowbell sound.
      Its out of tune and stretched.
      The Only way to get all the OUT OF tune instruments back into tune is to speed up the recording.
      You keep believing the detune lies.
      You are a fuk head, mike. 50 years and YOU still can't hear.
      Give yourself a smack for each year you've wasted.

  • @edcochrane8002
    @edcochrane8002 4 года назад +3

    Great lesson. I've been playing this song for years and you really captured not only the sound, but the feel quite nicely. One small suggestion - on the open C chord at the end of the intro, fret both the E and A notes (4/2 and 3/2) with your middle finger. This will make it much easier to play the C6 chord smoothly and keeps you from having to rush the timing for the following hammer/pull on the second string. I've been playing it this way for a while now and find it easier, once you get used to fretting two notes with the middle finger.

    I have watched a few videos of yours and I am disappointed that I have never heard of you. Not only are you an incredible teacher but you are a master guitarist all around. Very impressed. I wish I lived closer so I could take a lesson from you. I have always favored shrapnel type guitarists and lately I have been trying to branch over to guys like John Mayer and more of a bluesy side. So naturally I tried to play some of his stuff. When I discovered how bad I sucked at that style it was a real wake up call as to what exactly I overlooked in my playing. I have been working on Lenny because I want to learn solo guitar with accompaniment. I think it's a good place to start because of the open E and A chords being your fall back accompaniment. I think I will learn this one too. Trying to find good songs that sound great by myself. Without having to rely on backing tracks to play something enjoyable. Thanks for the lesson.

    @WillieWunderbar 10 лет назад +1

    Great lesson!
    4 small remarks (i'm talking as if the guitar is tuned in E):
    1. The B flat in between chord has a major third, not minor
    2. 15:24. Jimmy playes other melody notes and has a fatter sound because he playes the root on de 6th string. This is also possible with small hands: thumb over 7th fret, 2nd finger on the D string 9th fret (octave note) and index on g- en b strings 7th fret. melody notes played with third finger and pinky.
    3. In the part going from G to F (20:45) Jimmy keeps the open G string ringing (drone)
    4. The very last chord (C shaped D chord), second measure-first beat Jimmy also played the high E string second fret. thanks to that this frase is a beautifully harmonized melody line. (this rif can also be play on 7th fret using th A shaped D Chord) (I used Jimmy's studio version, I know Jimmy never played a song the same twice).

      How is it possible a guy got a sound of a millionaire without spending a dime?
      Hendrix was a wealthy guy who commissioned 1 off pedals etc but this CLOWN got the same sound and experience as hendrix without spending a dime.
      You're SO deaf, you can't even tell all Jimi hendrix recordings play slow and out of tune.
      Drum cymbals can't be detuned.
      Hendrix's voice is OUT OF tune too.
      It was a Clown video full of lies and wrong information.

Yeah, I would think only some young know nothing would say such BS! Mitch Mitchel ?? You know who that is right? Mitch was still going to tour right to the end with Hendrix. Only Redding and Jimi had a falling out but not with Mitchel. He wanted to get away from the trio line up and have more musicians in the band. Maybe you should know what yer talking about before opening your mouth.

Hendrix agreed, because that is who he was playing with when he died, not mitch. I am aware that mitch played in more than just the experience with Jimi, but he was gone at the end and for the better. speaking of dopey, you might want to learn how to express yourself as an adult. if you hadn't added the "how old are you" part I would have thought you to be twenty.
