Hendrix Style Guitar Lesson - Combining Rhythm & Lead Over 1.6.4.5

Hello friends,
welcome back to Swiftlessons for another lead guitar tutorial. In today's session I'll be breaking down a routine that will hopefully shed some light on Jimi Hendrix's unique approach to combining rhythm and lead elements through the use of pentatonic double stops. We'll begin by reviewing four pentatonic positions, before apply them to licks over a standard 1.6.4.5 pop chord progression. Let's get started!

These are all licks I played 50 years ago over a single tonal center but didn't know about playing over different chords. This is the link I was missing. Thanks! Forever indebted!

Hendrix left some mind-blowing cool licks for us students of the guitar

[BigDaddyNC]

Thank you. I really like the way that you take the pentatonic scales and apply a real-world usage to them. Makes them feel a lot more in context.

Fantastic lesson. Clear and easy to follow / understand. I have been looking for that Hendrix flavour - you present it perfectly. Thanks for a great afternoon's guitar playing, a new lick under my fingers and the clearly explained theory behind its construction.

Awesome as always Rob- you always make even the most difficult riffs and techniques easy to understand. I wanted to add some Hendrix riffs to my repertoire for the longest time. Leave it to you to be able to teach them so perfectly! 👍

Holy wow dude. Just the first lick alone was worth the price of admission. Consider yourself followed.
