Lick 1

We start slowly with this easy first lick based on a sequence of three chords: E7, G, and A. The first bar is a nod to Hey Joe with a one-tone glissando, so you have to slide from the 3rd-fret to the 5th-fret with the ring finger.

Here is an excerpt:

Lick 2

A bit more complicated with this blues lick where we will work on a series of chords made famous by Hendrix. The difficulty will be to succeed in linking the chords and notes alone while respecting the tempo.

Here is an excerpt:

Lick 3

You will face here a more complex funky/blues rhythmic. The bass is isolated from the rest of the chord and then chords and dead notes are alternated irregularly. To play these chords you just have to move the same pattern.

3utools for imac. Here is an excerpt:

Lick 4

This lick must be played this time with a clean sound, it’s a little nod to the song “Little Wing”. You must play the arpeggios using the very special Hendrix style with hammers and pull-offs. Feel free to extend the index finger (barre chord) on the 4th-fret in the second bar.

This time it’s about working on a solo at a slow tempo. You can use the second track as backing track.

How to play the Jimi Hendrix way?

  • It is necessary to learn to use the thumb on the fretboard: Jimi used the thumb of his right hand to do a moving base line whilst chording.

Why use it in this way?

First of all to avoid barre chord and be free to move the other fingers. Jimi loved to play arpeggios using hammer-on and pull-offs.

This also allows to add open strings in usually closed chords such as F major for example:

Jimi also used his thumb to have more support for playing his bends and vibratos or to block the bass string whilst chording.

Set up your fingerings display in Guitar Pro 7.5:
You can change your fingerings for right and left hand in Guitar Pro. To do so, click on the File menu > Stylesheet… > Notation > Fingerings section.
  • You have to know and master the “Hendrix chord”

This chord popularized by Jimi is E7#9, a dominant seventh chord with increased ninth. It is used, for example, in the rhythmic accompaniment of Purple Haze.

You can have fun moving this pattern around the fretboard with different rhythms.
See licks 2 and 3.

  • It is necessary to play your accompaniments in arpeggio and use pentatonic scales

Jimi didn’t just tackle the chords, he preferred to play them in arpeggio with ornaments, i. e. with the help of hammers and pull-offs.

You can work on this chords in licks 2 and 3.

To memorize your pentatonic scales, we recommend the website guitar-chords.org.uk which is very complete and free. The pentatonic scales are presented in the form of highly readable diagrams in all tones.

Which guitar to choose?

Playing on a Stratocaster electric guitar is of course ideal even if Jimi Hendrix has played with many other models. The Reverb.com website has produced “A Short Guide to the Lesser-Known Guitars of Jimi Hendrix”.
