I hope you enjoy this lesson as much as I enjoyed making it. Typo Corrections: the Bb7 is a sub for E7, not a sub for Eb7 - it's mislabeled on the intro chords but explained correctly during the lesson at 4:23 . Second Typo: the very first B major chord, the note labeled b7 is just the root (1) 🤪. Also, Jimi was tuned down a whole step here which means his fingers were two frets higher than as shown, but I kept it like this so people can stay in standard tuning. His strings must have been super slinky like that - usually he tuned down just a half step!!!

I just want to say that this channel's videos have everything that I ever wanted when watching guitar lesson videos. This fretLive thing is INSANE! The most visually kind lesson I would say. This channel deserves more than 100, 000 subscribers. Thank you for these cool videos! I can't imagine how much effort that it took to make this single video. 👏👏👏

[amayacai]

so far this format of visualization on fingerings is the most helpful among entire youtube guitar music education videos

[mikeys]

Jimi was the true definition of a prodigy. His entire body of work was all created before his 28th birthday and people can study it their whole lives and never master it. We’re lucky so much of it got recorded.

[BLP-BrianLucasProject]

I'm a visual learner and this is by far the best guitar instructional channel. Another plus is you get right into the meat of the lessons. Love your format and look forward to more. Much appreciated!

[terrycurzon]

Never in the field of human guitar tuition has so many lightbulbs been lit in so few tutorials in such a short space of time……my guitar ability has gone into orbit since watching these Pow music tutorials

[micuzzu]

I used to watch him play this rendition of Red House everyday multiple times when I was first learning. Cant get enough

[Sean-xuti]

Whomever breaks these licks down, doesn’t realize how important they are. I mean to planet earth. Truly that important. This is groundbreaking in my opinion.

[prafulmarmat]

ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS EVER -- I had to wait for this video to have found me and bamn! this morning, it just appeared on my feed. It is going to change a lot of things for me now. Thank you! ❤

[Noodles_]

I want quit my guitar playing because it Was boring and always the same noodles BUT now Ive played the whole Video easy and have had so much Joy that I can play a "Jimi Blues" that I go on to play guitar. Tank you very much 🙏🙏🙏

[trbr]

More Hendrix? Yes, please! I absolutely relish Hendrix breakdowns. So great... thank you!

[codforlife]

Yes your fret live animations are the absolute best in the whole guitar teaching space. Nothing comes close! I hope you have a good patent on that technology!

[congamike]

I've been practicing the pentatonic scale so much that I can't break out of it. Seeing the notes that Jimi actually played is startlingly helpful to me. Thanks!
This is my first video watched in this channel and I love it here.

[jacobwarfield]

@PowMusic awesome video my guy. I play by ear, but the way you have the video set up in the beginning is awesome. Gave me some new ideas. Keep posting videos

[cjsmith]

Holy crap. To actually see the genius that is Jimi analyzed on a fretboard……priceless.

[SticksAandstonesBozo]

You really have no idea how valuable this is to intermediate players. Thank you.

[keithfaust]

Ok, this is the officially best method of teaching on YouTube. Amazing!

[sov]

OMG. I have been a student of Red House for many years. This is TRULY the best lesson I've come across. Thank you for this.

[Anywherestudios]

Blown away since the first time i heard Red House on the Smash Hits cassette... still playing almost 40 years later, this was so cool man. Thank you so much!!

[macarius]

Incredible visualizations! That makes so much sense. Well done!
