Academy of Contemporary Music Guitar Lessons

Almost 4 decades after his death, Jimi Hendrix still has more guitar magazine coverage than almost any other player. Much of this attention has been gained from Jimi being a showman and lead guitarist but his rhythm playing is equally as interesting and innovative. In this lesson ACM’s Jon Bishop explores Jimi’s use of the fretting hand thumb to play bass notes, allowing the little finger to create add 9, add6 and sus 4 chord voicings.
