        Hello,

        I once tried to imitate good old Jimi Hendrix, although I don’t really like this hard stuff. I was almost desperate with the sound, but somehow it worked to some extent. Have fun with it.

          You definitely got the Hendrix flavor going Dieter! Spot on bends, trills, and slides. I enjoyed it very much.

            Rock on, Dieter. Push the overdrive up to 11. I love it, but then, Jimi is my hero.

                Good to hear you Rockin’ Out Dieter. You’re very good at a lot of different styles. You’ve got a good feel for Blues/Rock, my favorite style. Great sound from your LP.

                  Get down Dieter! Nice Hendrix vibe! I just watched the Jimi Hendrix bio they aired on PBS. Lots of live footage of him at Montreux and the Fillmore etc. He just surrounded that neck with those hands and made history!

                      Not typically a style i play either Dieter but you ran very well on this one.

                      This was a lesson I did a while back and I remember it was a tough one. I think Chargo is right about it needing a lot of overdrive.

                                Dieter, very well played🎸👍. You really got the Hendrix dirty groove, and these tremolos are executed very well. Great tone. I also like the video with the two angles.

                                I am currently working on a Keith Richards style lesson and try to get a bit into his vibe. But the fast country bends are giving me a hard time.

                                More Blues!
