With Hendrix riffs I think you have to go with something he said himself: "Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel". It's the same with Hendrix's riffs. A lot of them are easy, but to play them well you have to feel them, and Little Wing is no exception.

to play them well you need a fuzzface... facts there are harder songs to play from around that time and before especially with classical Barrios and Terrega like comparing how hard it is to roll a joint vs translate greek and arabic... faster, more technical, using more complex music, from all over stuff like Misirlou(greek, jazz, surf, rock, Dick Dale was also left handed like Hendrix but he left the strings reversed BB King style instead of fixing them around like Hendrix), you had guys like Jose Reyes & Manitas De Plata some of the greatest gypsy guitarists ever they combined all sorts of musical cultures and languages french, spanish, portugese, roma combined multiple styles of flamenco playing and invented abstract rhythms not found in flamenco before so many parts of the world with so many people making all kinds of attempts at greatness, gods envy men for we can truly fail and everything is more beautiful because we're doomed yet some still reach out and shake greatness.

It both crushes my soul AND makes me as proud as a Father can be that my 14-year-old son can play quite a few of these Little Wing (S.R.V Version), Eruption and The Cliffs of Dover (intro...he's working on the rest!) The kid is a true virtuoso. Loaned him my acoustic a couple years back and told him I'd upgrade him if he stuck with it (He had been playing Bass since around 10 when he asked for one for his B-Day that year and got pretty good!) I've since bought him a new Fender acoustic...a Strat w/tube amp...and gave him refurbished a Sigma acoustic I got for $5 and a 12 String Yamaha I had given to me. He comes to my house every 2 weeks and shows me what he's learned in that time frame. Unfookinbelievable.

All of the guitarists you mentioned are truly great, but everyone knows that a lot of stuff they play is mildly to very technical, especially Malmsteen. I am also very aware of Buckethead and his playing abilities, and have been for quite some time. No argument from me there. I listen to, teach and play many genres of music, and there are dozens of Guitar players we could add to this list, from Eddie Van Halen, Roy Clark, Al Di Meola, Brad Paisley, George Lynch, Dave Meniketti (my personal favorite) and Jimmy Page, etc. We both get that.

Wait wait wait there a minute sir. How do violinists use tapping?? I mean, they use pizzicato, but i don't think that the violin has any tapping techniques. Again, maybe the left hand pizz, but i'm not seeing it as tapping.

@nicoinformatics

Please watch the video again, also maybe the video about the origins of tapping in rock. What he said was, Eddie did "invent" tapping as to how it is used in modern rock songs. It's a similar baseline technique but much different in practice compared to what's done in music prior to that, especially in classical.
@valogden
3 ай бұрын
Eddie learned tapping from people like Brian May, who played it on the 1977 song It's Late. Brian used it after being in a bar in Texas and seeing a guy in the band at the bar doing it. Eddie also saw and used the style from Jimmy Page. Eddie used it and improved it and made it his own signature style.

You mentioned Hendrix Castles made of Sand. That happens to be my favorite Hendrix song. I've never learned how to play it. Often times I seem to find myself subconsciously gravitating towards softer songs with hidden complexity like that one. I knew it was more difficult than it seemed, just not that I was among the hardest to play so now i want to learn it, thanks for the inspiration.

Snow isn't majorly difficult, it just takes a lot of endurance. Most people could everyday get it at a slower pace, but at full speed it's relentless.

Yeah its only hard because of the speed and repetition. Its a lot of finger movement in a small amount of time. I think its a shitty riff and a shitty song, although the chorus is pretty awesome.

You got my respect, man. You're clearly not another egocentric bigot who would shout "It's not even hard to play, my mother could play it, looool!". It was hit or miss basically, but you thoroughly considered all the songs on the list, shared your honest opinion, and even gave the Watchmojo, not a music channel, credit for making the effort to put something significant there. This is the way.

Hi, well said. I don’t agree with 100% of the video’s content. We all remain very different after all. I must totally agree with your comments posted here though. It appears in you we have a gentleman amongst us. Rare indeed. I’m not a prolific visitor here but the more I see of this guy and his work, the more I like. He comes across as genuine and unbiased. I leave feeling views I hear on this channel are his own and importantly honest. Bags of talent too. Christ, don’t you just hate people with so much talent? 🤨 Cheers, Si.

My Waterloo is Fleetwood Mac, Big Love....I guess it's not a rock song but I have tried to learn the live version of it for close to 35 years before I gave up :) Lindsay Buckingham just has to be one of the most underrated guitarists in the world. Kudos! Oh yeah, and I agree, it was quite an interesting list and nothing to hate :)

In my humble opinion, he was foolish to include this on a recording. It's complete trash as a piece of music. I don't think he cared much about musicality until Sammy came along and showed him the ropes anyway. His musicianship improved greatly post Roth.
