Purple Haze Free Lesson Video

Hey guys.  Thanks for your requests for this JIMI HENDRIX classic.  This brings back memories of my first electric guitar and I am thrilled to get this out there.  I’d like to point out some things about the tune.

If you are looking to get the tone in this video, I recommend getting Amplitube MAX.  In this software, I used the British Lead S100 setting in paired with a fuzz pedal.  This would be a Marshall 1959 JTM100.  And a Harmonizer Octave setting for the guitar solo.  For all of my videos on this page, Amplitube has everything I’ve ever needed and it is simply the best Amp sim out there.  If you wish to try this product for yourself, you can use the link in the description and this helps support the page.

The mix of this song is kind of muddy and fuzzy.  It sounds amazing because it’s JIMI HENDRIX of course, but it can be a challenge to pick out certain things.  Take the second verse for example.  There’s a little lick being played in measure 29 and a barre of first finger on 7th fret ADGB strings (E7sus4).  The outro bends I believe are played in unison with the open high E string.  I checked out some live videos of Hendrix and seen him do this at one point.  I used to play it as a single note, but it sounded a little empty in comparison.  Either way, it’s all in how you wish to approach it.  

There’s more Hendrix left to do on this page!  There’s Foxy Lady, Castles Made of Sand, Angel….
