How would you like to do Jimi Hendrix’s technique of making the guitar sound like two guitars playing at once? He did this by changing notes within chords to add a melody superimposed on the chords. Nice, huh?

What about playing Hendrick’s chord inversions with your blues licks? Stunning!

Have you tried the sound Jimi got by running your thumb to various spots along the 6th string while playing the major 9 chord? And what would your audience think if you steal Jimi’s pre-bending style—bend a note, and at the same time, pre-bend and let go a second note?

To the right are two books to give you a huge jump in performing with Jimi Hendrix's techniques.


And for the maximum authentication possible—

If you’re left handed as Jimi Hendrix was, you can get an even-more-authentic Jimi Hendrix sound by using a right handed Strat just as Jimi did. Start by stringing your Strat in reverse order. Of course with all the other necessary modifications, we strongly recommend taking your guitar to a luthier.

For Right handers to get that even-more-authentic Jimi Hendrix sound, all you need is a small fortune. That will get you an old VooDoo Strat with all the necessary modifications—if you can find one!.

Don't forget to use your amps to include the distortion and feedback techniques that Jimi Hendrix pioneered.
