Intermediate Guitar Lesson – Jimi Hendrix Style Chords And Little Wing Pt.2

In Intermediate Guitar Lessons | on December, 18, 2009 | by Carl Brown | 1 Comments

In this lesson we take a look at the intro to Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing” using the chord and rhythm techniques we studied in the first lesson.

Jimi put good use to these techniques in this song. It is definately one of his most beautiful guitar parts and has inspired countless guitarist’s.

If you aren’t used to using your thumb to finger notes in the left hand, it can take a little getting used to. Just watch the left hand in the video to get an idea of the hand positioning.

This lesson was recorded with the guitar tuned to standard EADGBE tuning. Jimi’s tunes one half step below standard tuning for this song, so if you wanna play along with him just tune every string down a half step. I taught the lesson in standard tuning because that is what most guitarist’s play in.

So have FUN!! This is a nice tune.
