@@jeffro. you just have to get to the point where you can improvise without looking. Then you can make any face you want lol. For you or anyone who doesn’t know - the key is really as simple as learning that first position of the minor pentatonic scale, then learn to improvise with that in whatever key. Cool thing about guitar is that changing key is as simple as moving all your shapes up or down a few frets. Not to mansplain but just for anybody reading who wants to be able to close your eyes and play musically instead of feeling like trying to copy. What u wanna do is start with that first position minor pentatonic shape in say A so that would be for each string E 5-8 A 5-7 D 5-7 G 5-7 B 5-8 e 5-8 those would be the frets for each string for position 1 of A minor pentatonic, what anybody who doesn’t know would wanna do is put on a backing track on youtube search for an Aminor backing track and like magic all those notes i just named will work and sound in-key. You can now play an improvised guitar solo. Try different combinations of those notes out, you don’t have to always go in order either. Anyway I know this is long winded but that simple thing unlocked the door for me into being musical on the guitar and got me hooked big time, because I had always struggled to feel comfortable playing rhythm guitar- but that one little thing set me off down the road of being a lead player who can improvise over anything on the spot in any key. Just gotta learn that shape, then work on adding a few more shapes like the albert king and BB boxes, then learn some modes like aeolian and mixolydian. Anyway, that got me to start being able to close my eyes and play with my soul. Just a tip for anybody else out there. Changed my world. Just don’t have creepy cheshire cat grin type guitar faces

FWIW, but I think what established Clapton was he was the first in a short line of guitar players. It started before Cream, when he was with the Yardbirds, and then John Mayal. His reputation was established long before in bands that didn't challenge his talents. Can anyone name the bass and drums of those early efforts? Listen to the live records of Cream.

About the "Electric Ladyland", there were also some other cover art made for french/belgian releases. One of them is a photograph taken by Alain Dister, a french journalist and photographer, and I've got a copy illustrated by the french sci-fi artist Philippe Druillet.

Jimi’s rhythm work, was brilliant and so nuanced, I never get tired of listening to it

Not only was Hendrix a great and creative musician, he was also an intelligent and well spoken man who had clear idea's about how he wanted things to be, and I think you can also see that in the handwritten letter...

Very Cool! I still have my original "Are You Experienced" album that I bought with my allowance in 1967 just as I turned 10 years old.

Yeah… true. But he was also unfortunately a very weak person by all accounts. No backbone, alcoholic, drug addict, and quite the womanizer. Besides his music, he had zero sense of direction, self worth and any personal discipline. This is why he died so young. Still love his immense contributions to rock guitar and music history nonetheless.

He died young because the EMT allowed him to choke on his own vomit whilst in their care. Sure Jimi had his issues but at 27 who didn’t? He had his shit together enough to serve in the Army.

Tim one of my favorite guitarists and my hands down favorite teacher. I started playing when I was 9. now I'm 70. My dad was a pro guitarist so I had a jump on most people around. Tim I've learned so much from your videos. Don Felder, Tom Petty ,Steve Stills, Steve Morse (Ocala) Bo Didley all from Gainesville Florida where I grew up we had a big music scene. Tim can you only imagine if we 'd had the internet and the knowledge we can dig up online today? Tim if you happen to read this I would love to see you do a video on Ain't No Telling off Axis Bold as Love. I've been playing it for years and I'd like to know the right way. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into teaching us all. (Russell)

Really insightful lesson Tim. Thanks.

Hi Tim. Ive been watching you for awhile now and I love that you're adding in more explanation in your breakdowns. Explaining all the triad shapes and changes in these songs has really helped me understand how this all relates to the chord shapes around the neck. Ive been playing a long time and learned by ear with tape cassettes but was never taught the CAGED or triad shapes until now and its unlocked a whole new understanding. Please continue to share your knowledge. The world is a better place with this channel around! Thanks

First time I heard Hendrix was in 1967, Vietnam. We came out of the field and a new guy had a portable record player and had and a few albums. One was Hendrix. The speaker was probably a 3 inch job on this guys player. All of us where like WTH is this! When I went back to the world I found out. Great times for music as the decade ended and the 70s started. Then the destroyer of worlds showed up, DISCO, and it crushed the great music down to the pedestrian beat. But the revival started in the 80s with EVH etc.....

Have to correct you about the Electric Ladyland cover artwork. The naked girls sleeve was the British release, and that image remained as the standard cover in the UK until the mid-1990s CD remasters. Even the first UK CD release used it. But the design was never used in the USA.
