Excellent tutorial on a classic tune, been waiting years for this one. So glad I found it, thanks for the lesson. One of the best ways to enjoy Hendrix, apart from listening is to learn how to play his music, I’ll be enjoying this one for years to come.

Emerson you have faithfully re created the magic of Sir James Marshall Hendrix . Excellent lessons . ✨🎸✨🇺🇸🇨🇦🍁

I just wanted to thank you for your efforts, I've been playing this song since before you were born, but I am not ashamed to say you taught me something about this song I love. Well done my friend ,well done..

Fantastic job, E! I'll be playing this tune at a Hendrix tribute show in Hawaii for Jimi's 80th birthday celebration on the 27th. I love your videos. You helped to sell me on buying a Germino Club 40 a few years back. I love your videos, and wish you'd make more. Sending love from Hawaii.

Jimi was Bluesy Symphonic Psychedelic Jazz Genius. His Messages are Reaching advanced Life Forms light years ahead and Bugging THEM out.

I never could make a Dunlop Fuzz Face work for me. I finally built one using BC109 transistors that are almost oscillating, and I also have a 1968 Fender Blender Octave fuzz also with hot transistors that will self oscillate so it has boat loads of octave overtones. I also built some other Ocatavios based on the Mayer transistor versions and even some mux-demux versions. There are also a lot of half speed overdubs in this song too. I used the mux demux octave down or a Tascam 4 track for those.

EXCELLENT LESSON for a song I had thought impossible to learn but you made it learnable!! Two questions. At the 3:20 mark did you mean to say “a quick G”? The chord you played wasn’t an A. The other question is is there any way to get that tone if you don’t have that fuzz box thingy!?😇 I do own a Boss ME-70 though. Thanks for you help!

@emersonswinford8949

4 жыл бұрын

Quintin Smith Hey thank you very much. So what is happening is right before that G chord is an open A (5th) string then a strum of the G chord. It goes by fast, hence my “quick A”. Maybe it was even unintentional on JIMI’s part? In terms of the tone I don’t have any experience with that unit. A fuzz face has a pretty specific thing it does, it’s quirky and seems to work best w tube amps that are cooking a bit.

Too good! 🤟🏻👌🏻

It’s the combo of the fuzz face thru the Marshall with the guitar volume rolled back. I believe his fuzz was on the whole time and he goes from chimey clean to full fuzz with the volume knob. Check this video I did for examples. Thanks kzread.info/dash/bejne/l2GAqsiBh6iyf9o.html

Hi. Yes that was a rake. Honestly, I wasn't even aware I did that and Jimi probably just hit the G string bend dead on. But what I did there was rake the muted lower strings (probably A and D) with the pick before hitting the bend on the G. Blues players do that all the time. Thanks for asking.

I'd be willing to bet that 69 Strat is older than Emerson Swinford is. He does seem to have a feel for that genre of music though, I've got to say. I like Fender Strats because they have a wide neck that gives you more room for bends and chords that involve all four fingers.

Cordmichael it’s a vintage fender. Funny you should ask though. I just replaced the saddles w new fender “ pat. Pend.” saddles. Kept the old ones in the case, just too old and rusty. The new ones work fine, sound the same. On another strat I use the callaham trem block and plate, but prefer the fender saddles over callahams.

Your 69 start isn't set up properly, as the guitar is still in tune when you touch the tremolo arm. On a real 69, even a feather light touch of that metal bar should destroy the tuning and intonation so badly it needs a pro setup to be in tune again
