Tone Tuesday
Heavy strings are all the rage, but did you know that Jimi Hendrix used super light gauges on the lower 3 strings? I believe this shaped his sound in a way that cannot be replicated with heavier strings. In this video, I'll compare 4 sets with progressively lighter gauges on the lower 3 strings. See if you can hear the difference. In the next video after this, I'll explain how compensating for this difference can give you fatter tone - with lighter strings.

I created this course because I was tired of going through the motions for Little Wing without understanding what I was doing. I decided that I was going to REALLY learn Little Wing at a fundamental level.
This mission took me on a six-month journey of exploration and discovery, during which I spent countless hours listening and documenting what I found.
The result is Little Wing Deep Dive, a 10-hour course that takes you inside this song and helps you understand the theory, the chords, the embellishments, and the soloing techniques you need to play it.
