As for the theory, any good teacher can teach you that. The theory behind Hendrix would be no different than general music theory.

I really don't think you are going to find a teacher who specilizes in Hendrix. That is something you are going to have to do on your own. But there are several things you can do.

1) Collect all of Hendrix music and listen to it often.

2) Study to find who Hendrix's major influences are. Collect their music as well. Jimi was basically a Blues player. So you are going to need to study the Blues.

3) There are tab books of most of Hendrix's music. Get those and learn the songs. There are even some web sites with Hendrix tabs. Here's one.

I would say this to you. It is not good to focus on one guitarist. You can study Hendrix, and in time you will sound very much like him. But that is the problem. We already have one Jimi Hendrix. We don't need another. Really, the idea is to find your own sound and style. If you get Hendrix down people will just call you a copycat.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-hendrix-teacher/#post-87623 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-hendrix-teacher/#post-6775 Mon, 31 Jan 2005 05:48:53 +0000
