Artist Style Jam Tracks: Jimi Hendrix Style

Free guitar lesson

Back to course index

Try out your licks over our backing tracks in the style of the most influential guitarist ever! We kick off with full on rock riff style that Hendrix did so well, then move on to some of his more subtle styles later on.

This is a full on fuzz fueled Hendrix style rock riff track! The riff is all based around E Minor pentatonic which means the E Minor pentatonic scale will fit perfectly over the whole thing!

Have some fun with this one - turn up the fuzz and play those E minor pentatonic licks! Here's the scale in all positions on the neck:

This track also features the E7#9 Chord, also known as the Hendrix Chord because he made it famous! The E minor pentatonic scale works really well over this too, just be mindful of the flat 3rd in the pentatonic as the chord contains a major 3rd which would be a semitone away. Here's how to play that chord:
