In section three the tab shows
----------------
------7-7-7-----
-7----7-9-7-----
-7h-9--------9--
----------------
----------------
but it appears to me that you are up on the 9th fret not the seventh. Is the tab wrong or am I just not seeing what you are playing properly? - Ivan Milenkovic18th December 2007
You are correct man, and i`m sorry for the mistake.
So the accurate riff would be:
----------------------
---------9-9--9------
-9-------9-11-9------
-9h-11----------11---
-----------------------
-----------------------
Thanks for noticing it. I do try to keep the tas the accurate as possible, but once in a while a mistake occurs. Keep rockin 
Toni Suominen19th December 2007Very nice lesson mate!
- Ivan Milenkovic19th December 2007
Thanks man
JukeboxHero21st December 2007I wouldn't know the difference between you and Jimi had I not been looking at the screen.
- shammy25th December 2007
what kind of tele is that?
- Ivan Milenkovic25th December 2007
Thats a Peavey Generation EXP with ACM.
ace_frehely31st December 2007One of the best ive seen!!!!!!!!
The effects are just the same...excellent!!!- Danny1st January 2008
I could have sworn that was mr. Hendrix playing himself - Awesome lesson
- steelavenger2nd January 2008
That is amazing stuff Ivan - I love it! This I have just got to practise. Thank you very much for a superb bit of Hendrix.
- Ivan Milenkovic2nd January 2008
Thanks guys, means a lot
albino27th January 2008You make it look so simple but its very hard to get my head and fingers around this. I keep coming back to it and gradually improve but maybe in a few months I'll get it. This piece you have constructed is addictive!! Thanks.
speezy9th February 2008Thanks Ivan. Really like your lessons
- Mars15th February 2008
I love this lesson...but where are the tabs for section 5?
al christie16th February 2008Great authentic hendrix feel.
- Ice cream headache17th February 2008
Great! Sounds exactly like Hendrix
I noticed that in the 3rd section the tab looks like this:
-------------------
---------0---------
---------1h-2-1----
-------2----------2
-----2----------2--
--0----------------
But the video shows that you are playing it like this:
-------------------
---------0---------
---------1h-2-1----
-------2--------2--
-----2------------2
--0----------------
Am I right?
- Ivan Milenkovic17th February 2008
Hey man
Glad you noticed that, you can play anyway you want it, maybe I improvised a little on that
Carlos Carrillo28th February 2008Absolutely brilliant!!!!
adam130225th March 2008great lesson sounds like hendrix
- Ttask16th June 2008
Since there are some strikes in France right now I couldn't go to work today and spent the whole day working on this lesson. It's really not easy, with some chords I found hard to finger (I was only used to playing simple shred licks and arpeggios), but it's really worth the effort. It sounds very cool and I feel like I learned many things.
- Ivan Milenkovic18th June 2008
Thanks man, it means a lot for me to see you writing that.
Indeed some parts look simple but can be trucky at first. Just like with all other stuff on guitar, approach it on slower tempos and look out the left hand movings of all 4 fingers. Ask if you need any assistance. I hope everything will be OK with strikes man. CHeers! - Ttask21st June 2008
Actually, I've had a lot of troubles hitting these hammer-ons with my pinky while playing a chord, like at the beginning of video 3 or in video 5. But now that I've been practicing almost the entire week on this lesson I can manage to do it easier. I really feel like I learned so much, it's great!
By the way, I received yesterday my Toneport and I'm completely lost with it (they do not provide a documentation!), I can't wait to see your tutorial about it - Ivan Milenkovic22nd June 2008
Thanks man, I'm really glad I could help. It means a lot!
Me to had troubles with that pinky, also needed to practice a bit in order to get it right for the lesson, so we all practice and work to make it sound better, so keep rockin'
Congratulations on your Toneport unit. You'll get the hang of it soon, although it may not seem like that now. Unit is very simple and straight forward, but you are right when you say manual is little acquard. 
Henry Dietzel24th June 2008Reminds me of Rainbow Bridge sounds of Jimi you captured it nice
- Ivan Milenkovic24th June 2008
Thanks man

Hi Ivan,
I love this lesson and i've been working on it alot. But i can't seem to create the right sound for it. Any ideas ? - Ivan Milenkovic16th August 2008
When you play some musicians style it is always good to know exactly what he used from gear. You can find a lot of info what Jimi used on the net. Couple of things are very well known like: Marshall Plexi heads, strat guitar (single coils), various pedals like Vox wah, Univibe, Fuzzface etc. Try to recreate his tone by listening to his records and making a similar preset in guitar modeler software of processor ( or whatever you use). Hope this helps man.
Kuba Szafran15th November 2008Great stuff Ivan, I like the way you mixed rhytm playing with soloing. Definately sounds like Jimi, man:)!
- Ivan Milenkovic15th November 2008
Thanks Kuba mate, I'm glad you like the lesson

great lesson Ivan! You really get a "glimpse" of the late sixties "Jimi mood"
- Ivan Milenkovic24th July 2010
Thanks my friend!
BedroomBozo19th October 2012I've almost got this one conquered... these Hendrix embellishments really bring the stratiness out of my Strat, excellent lesson Ivan!
Cosmin Lupu19th October 2012Hey BedroomBozo, if you got any questions on this lesson, I will gladly help out, as I am filling in for Ivan

Hey there GMC players! Today we have some Hendrix licks to learn. We know what kind of legacy Jimi left for future generations. His famous riffs and licks are played all over the world. I have tried to combine a number of his most interesting and famous licks in one piece, so that we can together learn it easily.
Jimi was a great player, but also a great songwriter - he had very good worked-out chord progressions in his playing, and his chord embelishments made his distinctive style.
In this lesson we have two main tonalities. The first is based around E blues intro riff, and for that we use good old dorian mode, involving some blue notes required to play some blues licks that Jimi was famous for (he was influenced strongly by the blues). The other is plain and simple Emajor scale, and we are using that in Part 4 of our lesson where we go into C#minor-Bmajor brake. After that it`s dorian chords again.
It is important to write that Jimi was a master in moving through voicings and playing melodies at the same time. Also he used a lot two or maybe three different tonalities in songs, and that really add the flavour in them. This shows that his chord (and theory - although he didn`t know formal theory he must have been VERY familiar with what rules to apply when composing etc) technique must have been flawless, as he could connect chords in such beatiful manner.
Although it is not too dificult to play, this licks requre a special attention , as we use two, and sometimes three fingers together playing some of the parts. Try to play it as slowly and cleanly as you possibly can. This is slow riffin at 85bpm, so you should have no problem getting it.
This lesson involves:
- chords
- chord embelishments
- interval using
- Hendrix style licks
For this lesson I used:
- neck single pickup
- marshall plexi (crunch preset) line6 emulation
- some reverb
