jimi hendrix guitar sound

Jimi Hendrix is the most amazing musician that ever lived, bar-none. I think for a lover of Jimi Hendrix, might need to know all about Jimi Hendrix, both of how to dress, what guitar is used, etc.. and perhaps most importantly in my opinion is how to order our guitar sound exactly like guitar sound of Jimi Hendrix, and here's the trick

  • Acquire a Stratocaster of some sort (either Fender or Squier)Not neccesarily play reverse like Hendrix.
  • Use the neck pickup (switch the pickup control so that it is closest to you).
  • Grab a vintage Marshall amp, preferably a JTM45 or non-master volume Plexi. The amp must be a tube amp (solid-state is not usable in this situation.)
  • Get some effects that he used. Some would include a wah-wah pedal, a fuzz or distortion box or for some really weird sounds, try a Uni-vibe or Octavia pedal.
  • Learn some blues standards. Some more commercial stuff like Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and Muddy Waters is good, but try digging even deeper like Howlin' Wolf, T-Bone Walker, and John Lee Hooker.
  • Incorporate different styles into your playing. Try listening to jazz, blues, and folk.
  • Don't be disappointed if you don't get it at first, it takes a bit of practice.
