Through this mini-masterclass in guitar technique, Govan demonstrates how Hendrix reinvented various aspects of the guitar, including rhythm and lead playing, and how guitarists can incorporate these techniques into their own playing style using the CAGED system and incorporating lead lines into our chords.

Watch as Govan shows us, mere guitar mortals, how Hendrix's rhythm playing was a source of fascination for guitarists everywhere, especially as it blurred the line between rhythm and lead. He highlights how Hendrix could play rhythm licks as part of his lead playing and vice versa, creating a fluid and organic sound that was completely unique to the 'Axis Bold As Love' guitarist. Govan also demonstrates how the CAGED system can be used to create Hendrix-style licks by breaking down the fretboard into different chunks and superimposing major pentatonic scale shapes over each section.

By breaking down Jimi Hendrix's guitar techniques step by step, Govan offers invaluable insights into how guitarists can improve their own playing and create a unique sound that draws on the legacy of Hendrix. Not to be missed if you want to learn more about Jimi Hendrix's technique!
