This isn't for people that want to copy Hendrix note for note it's for people that want to think about their rhythm playing and understand the way advanced rhythm is created. Thank you Guthrie very well put
Yes. But Guthrie is also showing the importance of Hendrix. RUclips says Hendrix is overrated? Some guitarist don’t understand Jimi Hendrix is 60 years ago. At that time nobody but NOBODY played double stops (rhythm n blues chops like Hendrix). All the great guitarist Jeff beck Eric Clapton were absolutely shredded when they seen Hendrix. Elton John, Mick fleetwood said interview during 1980s said Jimi was best performance they ever seen and nothing compared since. The films of Jimi playing live are not Jimi’s best.. During 80s I talked with many older guys who seen Hendrix. Story’s varied, but the people who seen Jimi twice. Always said the first was the best, some said they haven’t seen performance like Jimi’s since then.
Guthrie Govan is great. When he comments, his comments reveal a thorough knowledge of what he is referring to and when he doesn't know about something, he just says so and doesn't try to fake it.
Him & Paul Gilbert are such great teachers. They able to explain very complex stuff so it's simple- Gutherie just says it or teaches it in a more entertaining fashion with stuff like "hendrixian noodles"
@@ovmeygat It's the "rhythm solo" from All Along the Watchtower. Guthrie was emulating it to demonstrate how Jimi so effortlessly mixed together the strumming of a background rhythm guitar with the unique melody of a lead guitar. And of course, being Guthrie, he played it clean as fuck
it so cool to see a shredder who didn´t forget about the blues and that shows in his playing,even in wild and supersonic moments,most shredders sound like machines that bore me in the second song but i can be months listening to Guthrie,what a master.
mrbsred1 Guthrie Govan is a fantastic player - we have a huge selection of videos here on our channel & more on our website! If you have a spare 60mins we had a Live Guthrie Govan master class which is available to view on our website for free: www.licklibrary.com/features/28888/guthrie-govan/may-2010
This guy is just ridiculous. All of his videos should start with disclaimer saying something like "beware, you WILL feel like a useless waste of biomass after watching"
Spot on. Hendrix's style was essentially playing rhythm guitar in a lead sort of manner. Those 2 & 3 note voicings or embellishments on major chord shapes became his signature sound. He was a soul player with a funky feel. Guthrie's example at 1:34 is a textbook page out of Jimi's book :)
Remember this about Jimi we only really had him for about 3 or 4 years. He had a pretty good body of work that still influences guitarists to this day. If he had lived whom knows what magic he had left in him to share. A lot of guitarists for years just concentrate on the playing only leaving the structure of a song to show their skills at playing. Jimi focused on performing his music, guitar and singing maybe doing some playing behind his head etc. There is a difference there and a lot more to concentrate on. Not to mention the beautiful songs he wrote as a whole not to just show off his jamming ability.
Guthrie's got the best quips to go along with these instructions, lol. Real down to earth, real easy to understand. Great job Guthrie! That SUHR is SO nice...
Amazingly valuable and concise advise. Especially love the last tip in regards to advancing the CAGED system further understanding the fret board.. learning songs within limited chunks of the neck!?!! That's a perspective of practise that I've never thought of in my 3 decades of learning the art!! Awesome stuff
CAGED man. I've been teaching this theory for 15 years and literally opens the gate to the board. Reduced inversions of all 5 positions will expose the past 50 decades of all classic guitar lines. G - you the man ✌️
Despite the fact that I worship Hendrix and like Govan, Hendrix was not the first one to mix rhythm and melody... decades before him people like Django, or much earlier some unknown flamenco players, were doing that. Let's say that Hendrix made that playing style very famous for rock audiences and for the masses.
This guy blows my mind, everytime I see and hear him, his knowledge on the guitar and his playing, is where I would like to be, but will never reach that level.
It all boils down to this really- hendrix was a brilliant musician and songwriter, a true creative genius. It blows my mind how he had no music theory, same with cats like Danny Gatton. Just awesome. Here's an interesting fact- JImi had synesthesia which means that when he heard sound and music he'd see colours aswell. So for us, a certain chord or progression might have been the colour blue for him
Is there a course available on Hendrix Rhythm techniques available ? Guthrie takes about and demonstrates this technique/approach at 1:35 , " a melody while your outlining the chords" and at 2:45 "caged system ie C shape chords and outlining the major pentatonic"
This is what I am trying to show my grandson who is learning to play. The same chord / solo theory has been applied before and after Jimi by many many guitarists. I always found it much more melodic and listenable. If this is tried, it will open a lot of doors to better soloing as opposed to scales only.
This was absolutely fantastic to watch... Hendrix was a genius... so is this man... fantastic manner of explaining. And he also reminds me of Robert Plant. Which always helps.🙏🏼😄
With already having a musical background with a stringed instrument I can't imagine the transition to be too difficult. Also, you will be far ahead of most beginners who start out without one, Good luck to you and your musical travels.
I saw you alive In Tampon, and I could have killed the sound man. You are a Musician. OK. That's about it. It is a pleasure to listen to you playing. That's the point of playing an instrument in the first place, isn't it?
Finally...a shred guy who actually plays like Hendrix...I have seen alot try and just not understand it. I am an aficionado, I actually have the music to the guitar intro to little wing tattooed on my left arm.
Very well organized and clear video.... I don't know how your able to get your point across so clearly, I understand exactly what you are talking about, I would not be able to explain this issue to people the way you do hahaha
@yatah That happens in studio recordings, especially with his tone. He sets it up for live shows, where the room is his reverb pedal. When fed directly into a recording, it sounds thin.
@maneatingtoilets u start from knowing how a chord is made, it's essentially 3 notes, for instance A chord: A, C#, E : look where else u can combinate these notes on the strings, no matter what shape, then try to add the minor 7th, the 4th.-
there is one single song, played live by the experience at the royal albert hall, which in my opinion summarizes all of hendrixs rythmic genius and his tricks, as well as his creativity while doing it with such fluency and naturality - this song is "lover man", the first half, up to the solo. Listen to it carefully and you'll be grooving along.
You are a fan, Most of those players brought amazing elements that allow us to use, but Jimi, he basically gave it all... He taught us Chords and Lead at same freaking time... those elements can be use on ROCK, FUNK, JAZZ... but if u dont like the way he speaks(improvise) that doesn't mean anything... the way that Govan improvises does not speak to me neither, but his lessons and approach are amazing!
Kidding? Did you not hear the high praise he gives Jimi in the beginning of the video, or the praise he gives him any time his name is mentioned? Definitely a fan.
He means Rob Chapman of Chapman Guitars...he works a lot with and is good friends with Lee Anderton who owns Andertons Music shop in Guilford...they do loads of gear reviews
This bloke is the best guitar teacher I've ever seen in almost half a century. How old was he when Jimi died - wait, looking it up - he was in the womb when Jimi died, born about 3 months after that, weird...
The best way to be a good guitarist is to be an accomplished bassist first. Worked for me. You can learn this Hendrix style easily by always using the 3rd as your lowest note in a chord. It just stacks up after that. Example: Play a power chord in D. Instead of D being the lowest note, make the lowest note an F# on the A string (4 frets up) from the D. You'll still hold down the rest of the notes in the D power chord, as usual. Now you can play games with the notes in the chord.
if youre interested in hendrix's rhythm stuff, there is another song called "move over let me dance", with tthe isley brothers. try to learn it note per note.
@69swipe It's a mnemonic that helps you find several voices for a chord around your fretboard. It's not a "must know" but it's one of the dozens mnemonics to form chords... However it has some drawbacks. Type caged system on google :)

Not just one of the greatest players alive, one of best teachers. A highly intelligent individual.
Someone who actually understands Hendrix! Thankyou. It wasnt his single note soloing.... it was his 3 to 4 part voicings that made him magical.
I think Guthrie in less than five minutes demonstrates pretty clearly why and how Jimi was no less than a genius.
I can't get enough of that part at 1:11-1:20. He plays it so beautifully
@Michael The Shy
me too ! is it a song or he was just improvising ?
@@ovmeygat It's the "rhythm solo" from All Along the Watchtower. Guthrie was emulating it to demonstrate how Jimi so effortlessly mixed together the strumming of a background rhythm guitar with the unique melody of a lead guitar. And of course, being Guthrie, he played it clean as fuck

@@ovmeygat it's the song. most exactly the part of the song, which I've always find to be the best moment of the track too.

Is there a reason they taped this at the top of the Eiffel tower?
mano a mano We liked the view... we've since moved offices! ;-)

this made my week.
Rotfl dude!! I just spit all the coffee over my keyboard due to your funny as shit comment
You have a great sense of humor man, for real
He is such an Incredible player - I sometimes have No Words. This guy just Motivates and Inspires me to practice, practice, Practice.

i searched the comment section specifically for this
Damn, now there needs to be a Mode named after Hendrixian noodles.

Are you honestly trying to peddle conspiracy theories about Clapton killing SRV and Hendrix? What an absolute fucking idiot.
I buy it
I just love Hendrix' style of guitar, sounds so epic.
Woah I am in love with funk playing. I am a metal player but now loving funk also.

Yeah he brought that style to rock music.
That's why Guthrie said re-invented ;)
Don't forget Chet Aktins.
Robert Johnson did it as well, and influenced pretty much ever guitar player for the subsequent 50 years.
Chet Atkins and Lenny Braugh
I ate some hendrixian noodles they other day, they were quite nice
Ah...but did sup upon the entire vocabulary of Hendrixian Noodles?

It's the breakfast of champions!

I really like the sound of that Cornford amp.
his last statement is probably more important than guitarists realize
Genius, absolute genius.
Now that Guthrie has explained It, It makes me appreciate Jimmy even more. That's the gift of a great teacher, which Guthrie is.
This is the best Hendrix lesson I have ever seen.

"Build a vocabulary of henrixian noodles"
An intelligent, well-spoken master of his trade
I hear Reggae Reggae sauce goes well with Hendrixian Noodles
"Hendrixian Noodles"
I prefer Hendrixian Ramen.
+Bobby Garafolo
Too much sodium.
Hendrixian Linguini with a little soy sauce is best.
"And hopefully that would help..." 😲
Yes well said. :)
Thank you so very much for posting this! Very Inspirational for taking new Perspectives on my rhythm approach
this man is completely brilliant.

I cracked up at that same remark.. He's a genius at making those type of phrases.

Very well organized and clear video....

‘Hendrixian noodles”. Gotta love it
My favorite guitarrist 💪👏
He seems to play while playing. He is so perfect, yet still so natural.
"Hendrixian Noodles"...that's beautiful!
Total talent in bucket loads...amazing... 🎸
Wow this was an invaluable little lesson. ....thank you.
Robert Plant wants his hair back
@JoUtan01 That's pretty simple really. It would just be Guthrie pretending to play while there's a backing track going on.
So good thank you 🙏
@yatah That happens in studio recordings, especially with his tone. He sets it up for live shows, where the room is his reverb pedal. When fed directly into a recording, it sounds thin.
Amazing Guthrie.
@maneatingtoilets u start from knowing how a chord is made, it's essentially 3 notes, for instance A chord: A, C#, E : look where else u can combinate these notes on the strings, no matter what shape, then try to add the minor 7th, the 4th.-
good stuff
wow.. a true teacher here
At 3:08 Guthrie says C minor shape. It’s actually D minor shape. His pinky on Fifth fret ‘A’ string

Such a decent bloke and I think the best guitarist of this era
This guys is awsome great jimi style playing
That bit starting at 1:12 is absolutely wondrous
Genuinely nice chap.

1:34-1:46 is possibly the coolest shit I've ever heard rhythm wise.
dude, the tone rocks
I dont know whether this guy is 30 or 60
it's called a joke. Check it out sometime.
That was a great joke. D-Rock is just jelly.
Waters best response
Both
D-Rock The Illest d rock you're a dumbass
This guy just came out of nowhere recently, hes amazing!
2:35 under the bridge intro fingers position
You mean a C-Shaped barre chord.
LOL
love this guy
'good call'
at the end of the video
Licklibrary should do Guthrie Govan series of DVDs, just like bluejamtracks but more extended.
Very interesting. I must admit, this guy isn't quite my style, but he makes lot of sense.
Jimi's rhythm playing made a huge impression on me. As did EVH's.
Thank you very much!
HIS TONE IS AMAZING
I've never heard any guitar player anywhere who has the technical ability of Guthrie whose sound also grooves as nicely as his does.
This Guy is so knowledgeable...
0:58 = All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan cover)
1:33 = Could it be "Little Wing"?
Seriously, licklibrary, you've gotta get Guthers to put out an instructional DVD set on his own tunes/style. It would sell by the shedload.
Good call!
He means Rob Chapman of Chapman Guitars...he works a lot with and is good friends with Lee Anderton who owns Andertons Music shop in Guilford...they do loads of gear reviews
