Intro
This intro is a mock up of the
Star Spangled banner as done by Hendrix at Woodstock.. I changed up
some stuff of course, but I did include some of the actual techniques employed
by Mr. Henrdrix... I'll show you some variations on the video lesson and
explain some additional things to you about all this. Most of it is tough
to tab out...

**Tip** The position of the first E chord is
VERY HENDRIX.. One of the keys to the Banner is the opening B.
Hitting the 4th fret 3rd string and Open 2nd string together and letting them
ring out...

See video for help. Whammy bar is optional by the way. I did most of
this track without whammy bar to accommodate those of you who use SG and LP
guitars and things like that..

Main
Song Track
This track is a mix of
things, but it's really about the groove and timing. Most of these
artists that we look at use similar scales and chords. It really is how
they each use them that makes their styles stick out. Part of what I mean
by that is timing. When you come in, and how you work around a groove.
This lesson example has a Classic Hendrix stamp on it. Hendrix tends to
groove IN the groove rather than around it as many other players do. It's
more Funk Blues Rock than it is anything else in a lot of cases... See
video for additional help...

Opening
riffing
Be sure to build this up.
By the time you get to the chords at the end of this riff, you should be on
the floor or on top of a table beating the guitar to death with the pick..

Theme Riffing
This is a take off on Foxy
Lady and Purple Haze.. I'll explain more about this riff on the video.
Take note of the chords being used and how I changed them up within the riff...
Things are rarely static with Hendrix..

Dead stop -- Then into solo 1 below...
Solo
#1
This is the solo that I modeled
after the Foxy Lady solo. It uses basically the same scale. It's not
much of a mental leap to take my solo below and twist it into the Foxy Lady
solo, although I should note that the Foxy Lady solo would be 1 step higher in
F#, and not E where this one is....
The main thing to remember here
is the timing / phrasing, and also take note of the positioning. This is
very similar to how Clapton and other 60's guitar giants use this same scale...

Post
solo break / Pre-solo 2
This part contains some new
chord changes and an arpeggio riff that follows those chord changes..
Basically it's all just a big lead in to the 2nd solo, but it also helps keep
the song interesting. All I'm doing here is using the E scale to add my
changes starting with the 2nd or the F#..
Also take note that Guitar 1 is
doing the 9th chords this time, not Augmented 9th chords, and Guitar 2 the lead
arpeggio part is doing 7th arpeggios,
Root, 3rd, 7th....

Solo
#2
This solo is modeled after
the Purple Haze leads.. Take note of the scale and the positioning..
Also again notice the groove.
For these leads I added in the
Pitch Shifter.. I doubled the sound 1 Octave above about 10% in the mix.
I could have gone higher but I didn't want to over do it. It's not
important either way. However I suggest using the Bridge pickup for this
solo and not the Front and Middle setting used for the rest of this song track
and first solo...

Banner Ending
Be very loose with this.. and
apply what ever feel you want. Hendrix goes pretty crazy with the
trills on this part. I mellowed them out a bit for a general audience and
for lesson purposes. Just go off on it.. I would... :)

Final ending
**tip** 4th fret 2nd sting can be changed to the
open 2nd string if you want to... The 4th fret 2nd string sounds better on
my setup, and so that's why I use it.. If you like the open 2nd string
then use it.. Go with what works best on your setup..
