Announcement: BluesGuitar.com Releases “How to Play the `Jimi Hendrix´ Chord - Blues Guitar Lesson”
(PRWEB) June 01, 2014 -- “Some people refer to the E#9 (E Sharp Nine) as the Jimi Hendrix chord”, says Darville, which he demonstrates as; 7th fret of the 5th string with 2nd finger, 6th fret of the 4th string with first finger, 7th fret of the 3rd string with 3rd finger and 8th fret of the 2nd string with 4th finger. “What I refer to as the Jimi Hendrix chord is something different”, says Darville. Jacques demonstrates what he calls the Jimi Hendrix chord as follows; 7th fret of the 5th string with 3rd finger and bar first finger across the 5th fret of the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings. This chord voicing can also be referred to as D/E because it is a D Major voicing with an E bass note. “You may have heard this before”, says Darville, “Stevie Ray Vaughn and John Mayer also use this chord voicing a lot.” Jacques continues this easy blues guitar lesson by playing different variances of the chord incorporating licks with techniques such as hammer-on and pull-off’s to really make it sing. Guitar TAB’s are available for this easy blues guitar lesson at BluesGuitar.com.
