Hi guys, take a look at this lesson about Hendrix style inverted chords.
People seem to be digging this one. It is fun to play chords inverted like this - I do it all the time.

Thanks!
Robert.

really cool leson, and really nice guitar you got there dude.

Thanks for posting,I've been using this particular Jimi type riff for years,it's so easy yet adds so much to your chord voicings.I couldn't pick out what brand his guitar was but he got a nice Hendrixy "One Rainy Wish"like tone from it.

Great lesson, thanks. I play melody for the most part, but this is a nice chord.

I really like that style of playing and love the sound of that guitar.

That's why Hendrix was so original and will always be one of the best (if not the very best) guitar innovators.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, for example, was a great player (and on the top of my fav-list). He was great because either he was playing a Strat, a Gibson or whatever, he could always be recognized. You would say "I bet this is SRV playing". Because he had a unique "playing-style".

Hendrix on the other hand, was a great player because he introduced (invented?) a chordal/music style that was/is recognizable by anyone who knows a bit about his music. I mean, I can play some hendrix stuff and be heard like hendrix (well, by approximation) and someone else can say "Oh, is that hendrix?" but I can't play SRV stuff and be heard like SRV. SRV could play classical music and you could recognize that that was him playing.

Bottom line, SRV has a "recognizable playing" and Hendrix has a "recognizable style".

P.S. I don't intend to compare the two guitar Gods... You can put any other player with recognizable playing style instead of SRV. I just wanted to spot the difference between "playing style" and "composing style" in which Hendrix was one of a kind

Interesting post. I find the concept of "best" in art to be meaningless, but rather that artists can have a profound effect on us, the audience, and on how other artists create. I think of Hendrix in Rock the way I think of Kubrick in movies.

Look at "2001". The look and feel were unlike anything that came before. Space and sci-fi was kind of fuzzy. Kubrick made it crystal clear, made the lack of gravity work, and a few years later "Star Wars" was imitating the look and feel of "2001". It was a turning point. "Space" in the movies has never again looked the way it did before "2001". Since, it always references Kubrick's visuals.

I see Hendrix the same way. Rock sounded one way before he came along, and never sounded the same again after him. He changed the game. Other guitar players altered their style after hearing him.

Fans like to talk about "best". Musicians don't seem to. You can find interviews of Buddy Guy and BB King, and even SRV talking about Hendrix and what he brought. You see that Clapton has, throughout the last 40 years, referenced, quoted and even imitated Hendrix. The Stones, and the entire metal rock movements were all influenced by him.

Was he the "fastest"? The "best" or "cleanest" technique? Does it even matter? He changed the game in a way that couldn't be changed back.

He was the "Babe Ruth" of rock guitar.
