RH-010-011 • Hendrix Style Rhythm Guitar 1 and 2

[Guitar_noob]

Is it advisable to try out the thumb-over grip on an acoustic guitar ? I am yet to buy an electric guitar hence wanted to try it out on the acoustic just to get an idea of it. Is neck width of acoustic guitar too much for this sort of thing ?

Here's a good example of this technique used on an acoustic guitar : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O51V1JOty3Q.

Here's a lesson from Justin on slash chords using the thumb over technique. If your taking the beginner
course and aren't this far yet you may frustrate yourself by trying this to early.

Another good illustration of the two techniques shown in Justin videos : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVpN7v97URg

It's happening mostly during the outro (from 4:30).

Love that song by the way .

Hi,
Could someone please explain the strumming and fingering that happens at around 1:13 to 1:15?



Thanks

Mike

i wanna stress that if i can do hendrix thumbed barre chords you can too, whoever you are, eventually it gets easier but it's a physically taxing technique like hetfield constant downpicking keep in mind.
