Hendrix uses techniques such as bending, hammer-ons and pull-offs. So to play along with song in its natural key, tune your strings down. So his strings were tuned as follows: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb.
This is because Jimi Hendrix used to tune a half step down. One of these days i swear i'll see a post from you containg the words "I don't know". You may notice that when you play the guitar riff along to the record it sounds weird. It's worth the trouble to learn a little proficiency on the harmonica, especially for the solo player. It doesn't have to really be good, just not bad, and for some reason they think it's great. And audiences seem to really love harmonica, at even just a beginning level. It fills it in a great deal, even just the simplest most basic lines or phrases or simple rhythmic chugs, etc (like Dylan for example). Lee Oskar makes harmonicas in minor-keys which makes minor-key tunes a lot easier to play.Īdding harmonica can really add a lot to your music, especially solo acoustic using a neck-rack. "House of the Rising Sun" is another similar minor-key tune. I often used two harmonicas usually for a minor tune, one in the IV-pos and one in the I-pos, using selected notes from both for different phrases I wanted. Being major-keys, there are a lot of both missing and unwanted notes in it. A regular major-key harmonica isn't designed well for minor-key playing. Minor key harmonica playing is a slightly different thing than playing either regular cross-harp (blues, rock, etc) or straight-harp (country, folk, pop, etc). In one of those links I posted above someone asked the same thing and I listened to it and posted but I forget which link it was. I forget what key harp he used (seems like a G but I don't remember for sure).
