[A] [E]
[A] [D] [E] [D]
[A] [E]
[F#m] [C#m] [D]
[A] [D]
[D#] Hey folks, in a lot of these Wildwood videos I'll reference that little Hendrixian progression.
Kind of doing my own thing with the take on the Axis Bold of Love introductory chords.
And we'll just kind of go through these and what I'm doing.
Hendrix a lot of times of course would do [A] like the top part of a major chord, A major
chord here, fifth fret, and would use the thumb over the top to get the low A note.
[E] [A] This [D] is kind of droning.
Of course in [E] this position I could [N] actually have the A string droning but in the spirit
of Hendrixian activity I'm using the [A] thumb so I'm going.
And that's kind of cool there because what happens there is this B note [B] is the ninth
Which kind of makes it an A2 chord I guess which is just kind of a nice, more of a modern
sounding chord than just a straight [E] root, third, fifth [A] kind of a chord.
[E]
Down to E.
[F#m] Again, [E] going to the sus there at the G string there at the second fret.
So the E chord.
Just putting my pinky [G#] down there at the second fret on [E] the G string.
And then this chord here is interesting because I'm [F#] using my thumb to get the F minor [F#m] 7.
[B] And I'm using my thumb on the E string there at the second fret.
I'm [F#] using my third finger to get the F sharp note there on the D string at the [D] fourth fret.
I'm using my first finger on the G string at the second [E] fret and my pinky on the B string
at the [F#m] fifth fret.
And what I'll do there is I'll slide that whole thing, these three notes, the D string,
G string, and B string up a whole step and then back [B] again.
[A] Very Hendrixian.
[E] [A] Hendrixian activity.
So up to that point we've got it.
[E] [F#] [B]
[A] Okay?
[D] And then you [A]
[Em] can do any number of different things here for this [D] four chord.
I always kind of choke up a little bit because Hendrix would do this.
It's like pinch harmonics with a cleaner tone.
Curtis Mayfield would do this quite a bit and that's what Jimmy was going for.
I like to do these little [E] [Bm]
glissandos.
[D] This just kind of sounds good.
[D]
So does him.
[E]
[Bm] All those little crack notes.
[N] Those little notes in the crack.
[D]
[A] So we got it.
[E]
[F#] [B] [A] [D]
So I'm hitting that D triad with my first finger and then doing that hammer on pull off on the fourth note.
On the note that's the fourth.
[G] [D]
[A] Now sometimes I'll go.
I'll do this.
It's basically like a sweep but backward.
[E]
[A]
[E] [A] So there's a downstroke [E] there and then an upstroke.
[A] [E]
[A] So again it's got.
[E] There's a little bit of palm muting going [A#] on as I'm doing this as [A] well.
[E] [F#]
[B] [A] [D] [E] [D]
[A] [E]
[F#m] [E]
[A] [C#m] [D]
I think Hendrix just kind of goes.
[C#]
[D] I like doing this.
[C#] [A] [E]
That chord is.
You can look at it a couple [C#] of different [A] ways.
[E] It's a C [C#] sharp to the root.
You got a raised [A] fifth.
Or you could look at it as an A2 with a third in the bass.
Or a C sharp minor with a raised fifth.
[D] And then back to the.
So again one more time [A] real slow.
[E]
[F#] [B] [A]
[D] [E] [D] [A]
[E]
[F#m] [E]
[D] [C#m] [D]
A little Hendrixian tutorial there.
At least how I like to mix it up a little bit.
I hope that assists you in your guitar quest.
