Jimi Hendrix, the iconic guitarist, left an indelible mark on music history. His groundbreaking techniques and innovative approach continue to inspire generations of guitarists. Let’s delve into the musical genius of Hendrix and explore the theory behind his captivating sound.
The Hendrix Chord: A Signature Sound
The Hendrix chord is a distinctive voicing that Jimi used extensively. It’s a 7#9 chord, combining a major third with a minor third (enharmonically, the #9). You’ll recognize it in songs like “Foxey Lady,” “Purple Haze,” and “Spanish Castle Magic.” Hendrix’s rhythm playing drew heavily from funk. He incorporated syncopated rhythms, muting, and slurs. Here are some funk-inspired techniques:
• In “Foxey Lady,” Hendrix uses an F#m7 chord (F#-A-C#-E) against a low F#. The 4th finger bars the notes E and A at the 5th fret. This shape is synonymous with his style.
• Single-Note Riffs: Songs like “If 6 Was 9,” “Voodoo Child,” and “Gypsy Eyes” feature single-note riffs within the A minor pentatonic scale. Use muting, trills, and bends for authenticity.
Sonic Innovation 🎸
Hendrix’s mastery extended beyond technique. He experimented with effects like Dunlop Rotovibe, Univibe, and wah-wah. These psychedelic sounds became integral to his sonic palette. And even beyond all the theory and technique, Hendrix poured raw emotion into his playing. His solos told stories, evoking feelings of love, freedom, and rebellion. Listen to “Little Wing” or “Bold As Love” to experience this lyrical magic.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience was the band that catapulted Hendrix to international fame. Formed in London in 1966, it consisted of Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell on drums. Their chemistry was electric. Hendrix’s guitar wizardry, Redding’s solid basslines, and Mitchell’s intricate drumming created a sonic landscape that defied conventions. Together, they produced hits like “Hey Joe,” “Purple Haze,” and “The Wind Cries Mary.” The band’s collaborative spirit fueled their creativity. Hendrix’s songwriting blossomed, drawing inspiration from blues, psychedelia, and rock. Redding and Mitchell provided the canvas for his musical visions.
The Essence
Hendrix’s relationship with his bands was complex—part friendship, part artistic collaboration. They were his canvas, amplifying his genius. Whether in the studio or on stage, these musicians shaped the magic that became Jimi Hendrix’s legacy.
Remember, the synergy between Hendrix and his bands transcended mere music—it was an alchemical fusion of talent, passion, and innovation.
In summary, Jimi Hendrix’s genius lies not only in his technical prowess but also in his ability to connect with listeners on a profound level. His legacy endures, inspiring guitarists to explore new horizons and push boundaries. Remember, as Hendrix once said, “Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” 🎸🌎

Third Eye Blind's breakthrough hit single, "Semi-Charmed Life," is a good example of the band's creative tonal coloring in the studio. The thick, multi-layered guitar textures were crafted with the help of an Epiphone Casino, a 12-string Hamer electric, a Gibson J-200 acoustic and a Gretsch Country Gentleman. The assortment of amps on this song is equally diverse: a Matchless 30 into a Mesa/Boogie 4x12 cabinet, a Mesa/Boogie Heartbreaker head, a Vox AC30 and a '69 Marshall plexi Super Lead head into a Marshall 4x12 loaded with 25-watt Greenback speakers. Reverb, wah-wah, tremolo and flange are also employed tastefully in places to add extra texture and sonic diversity. LESS IS MORE "My effects set-up is fairly simple and streamlined compared to what some players, like The Edge, use," says Kevin. "Right now, all I'm using is a Morley switchless Wah, a Dunlop Rotovibe and two Boss GX-700 rack unites that give me a little bit of compression, a touch of delay and a little splash of reverb on certain things." He recalls, "I went through a phase when I went totally overboard on effects and my creativity suffered as a result. I was spending all my time trying to find the best-sounding patch out of the 300 choices I had in my rack...basically, I'd stopped being a musician and had become an engineer! [laughs] At some point you have to switch the effects off and concentrate on coming up with cool-sounding chord sequences and voicings that will serve as good platforms for your singer to construct melodies on."
lmao! ( @circuitbird )

So, lately I've been wanting a nice UniVibe. I had a great Dunlop Rotovibe years ago, but I haven't found one that sounds like it did. I LOVE Robin Trower and have since I was a kid. His UniVibe sound is the one I hear in my head. Mick Taylor from @that_pedal_show loves the @fulltoneeffects #dejavibe and it always sounds fantastic! When I heard it in a few seconds of an Instagram snippet he posted today, I decided to explore. I found a video from @premierguitar with the man himself which was all the convincing I needed. Seeing Mark Thomas' video just added a little icing to the already delicious cake. Thanks to @chicagomusicexchange, it'll be here Wednesday! #fulltone #knowyourtone #knowyouretone #thatpedalshow #becausetone https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtCpfGH1d-/?igshid=6fax62xcxi6n

Why I love my Boss LS-2
I had initially bought the Boss LS-2 to give me the option of switching between a few pedals on my pedal board. It didn’t last long there as as the board got bigger I needed more options and the Rocktron Patchmate replaced it (a fantastic curiously underhyped pedal switcher). However the LS-2 has continued to be a valuable part of my pedal collection. Here are some situations where I find it very useful.
1. Patching in effects which cause a volume drop – pedals like the Boss TR-2, Dunlop Rotovibe and the EHX Small Stone have a volume drop when engaged. The LS-2 allows you to increase the volume of either of its two loops – this can be used to make up the lost output.
2. To run a stereo set up. The LS-2 works really well to power a two amp set up. There is no phase reversal switch and I’m sure at some point in the future I will run into phase issues but so far I haven’t had a problem. The different levels for each channel are again great for matching amp levels. Its a good idea to have the amps on the same power board to reduce the chances of ground loop noise.
3. Switching between the stereo outputs of my Epiphone Les Paul Ultra II. The A/B mode gives either pure Nanomag or pure Magnetic pickup tones. The A+B mode lets the two be mixed. The same applies to putting in as many as three guitars into the LS-2 and switching in between them. This could be useful at a show or while recording at home.
4. As a buffer. Like all Boss pedals the LS-2 has a built in buffer. It’s not the best buffer in the world but will get the job done.
5. As a power distributor. The LS-2 can supply power to other pedals with its power output jack.
6. As a kill switch. Set any loop on zero and the pedal becomes a mute pedal or a stutter box. There is no non-latching mode though so the stutter box use is limited.
7. As a silent tuner out. Put a tuner in any of the loops.
8. While bread boarding. Bread boarding is the process of testing electrical circuits for building things like guitar pedals. I put the test circuit into one loop of the LS-2 and this gives me a convenient on/off switch instead of having to actually bother with wiring in a switch into the circuit. Let’s me quickly compare my reference tone to the test circuit as well as the test circuit to any pedal I want.
9. Each channel gives you +20 dB of clean boost without coloring the sound. Two boost pedals in one.
10. One can theoretically even run three amps with A-B-Bypass option but a man has to know when to stop.
So a compact guitar pedal with 10 uses. Off the cuff. Without even going into its primary function of running separate pedals in the two loops. How many pedals can you say that about?

Same pedals.. New layout. I read the pamphlet on the @fulltoneeffects Ultimate Octave and it says it likes to be after the wah. I agree. It’s much happier now. Signal chain now goes Tuner > Acid Fuzz Yellow Sunshine Germanium Booster > Dunlop Crybaby > Dunlop Rotovibe > Full Tone Ultimate Octave > Xotic BB Preamp > Crowther Hot Cake > Catalinbread Echorec > EarthQuaker Devices Ghost Echo @jimdunlopusa @acid_fuzz @tcelectronic @xoticusa @catalinbread #crowtheraudio @earthquakerdev #guitar #guitarsofinstagram #pedalboard #pedalboards #pedalboardoftheday #guitarist (at Richfield, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt2IBU8leNq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jd48vfafxl48
