This Course is Ideal for Players Who...
The "Jam with Jimi Hendrix" guitar course is specifically designed for intermediate guitarists who are ready to engage seriously with the music of one of rock's most important and technically demanding figures.
This course is perfect for guitarists who want to learn the secrets behind Jimi Hendrix's iconic rhythm-lead guitar style — the thumb voicings, the chord-melody approach, the expressive use of effects, and the improvisational freedom that made his performances so electrifying. It is ideal for players who are drawn to the sounds of psychedelic rock, blues, and 60s fuzz-driven electric guitar, and who want to develop a genuine understanding of how Hendrix's musical language works rather than simply approximating his style. If you learn best through detailed, song-by-song instruction combined with hands-on practice against real backing tracks, this course will provide exactly the environment you need.
This course is also an outstanding choice for any guitarist who wants to develop a deeper connection to the blues tradition that underpins so much of rock guitar, and who wants to do so through the music of the artist who brought that tradition to its most creative and influential expression.
What will I achieve from completing this course?
Learning to play Jimi Hendrix's greatest songs offers benefits that extend far beyond mastering these seven tracks. This classic rock guitar course serves as a comprehensive masterclass in rhythm-lead integration, expressive phrasing, and the kind of musical freedom that comes from truly understanding the instrument. By the time you've worked through every song in this collection, you'll have developed a set of skills that will transform your playing across blues, rock, funk, and beyond.
You will develop mastery of the thumb-over-neck technique, giving you the ability to fret bass notes with your thumb while your fingers handle chord embellishments and lead lines — the cornerstone of Hendrix's unique rhythm-lead style. You'll build a genuine understanding of how to use the whammy bar musically, from subtle pitch variations to dramatic dive bombs, and how to integrate it seamlessly into your playing rather than treating it as an afterthought. Your string bending and vibrato will take on the vocal, crying quality that is so central to the Hendrix sound, and your chord vocabulary will expand significantly as you work through his sophisticated, jazz-influenced voicings.
Beyond individual techniques, this course will fundamentally change the way you think about the relationship between rhythm and lead guitar. Hendrix's genius lay in his ability to blur the boundary between the two — to play chords that sang like melodies and solos that grooved like rhythm parts — and understanding this approach will open up entirely new creative possibilities in your own playing.
