1.0 out of 5 stars
Just plain bad!,
By Hexum311 (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Experience Hendrix, Book 1: Beginning Guitar Method- Learn to Play the Guitar Using the Songs and Style of Jimi Hendrix (Paperback)
I really hate to be so critical and I am usually not one to write negative reviews, I guess every product like this has its place, but this book is just plain horrible. Where do I start?
First off, the cd sounds like it was recorded in a basement somewhere, it is really poor quality, and the instructor keeps talking while he is playing the examples and it really interferes with being able to hear it. Second, I think that the content is not as advertised. I was expecting to see full tab for some Hendrix songs in here along the way and some instruction on how to play them, with maybe some lead tracks slowed down to better understand them. This was not the case. It only shows a few little elementary examples and that is it. There are no full tabbed songs and examples here. There are a few side notes here and there that try to tie in Hendrix techniques, but fail pretty bad in my opinion. The coverage of the major scale and other techniques is really bad and could confuse a lot of people. There are way better resources on the Internet for free, so why pay for this very thin, very bad cd and book just because Hendrix is on the cover? Bottom line is this: This is a very very elementary level, poorly written book about guitar theory with Jimi Hendrix on the cover, that is about it. Save your money and learn a lot more on the Internet for free. Just search for guitar theory on Google.com and you will see. If you want to actually learn some Hendrix songs and techniques I would suggest looking into Hal Leonard's Jimi Hendrix - Signature Licks book. It has fully tabbed songs along with regular and slow speed examples.

A great book for beginners,

This review is from: Experience Hendrix, Book 1: Beginning Guitar Method- Learn to Play the Guitar Using the Songs and Style of Jimi Hendrix (Paperback)
This is a great book for beginners (4.5*). While it will not teach you everying, it covers most of the basics(although the minor pentatonic scale box is conspicuously absent) and surprisingly concisely. It is very attractively formated and includes a useful CD. By focusing on the music of well known Jimi Hendrix tracks the beginner can feel real meaningful progress from the start. There is also a good website associated with this book. I wish I had this book when I first started! This book alone is a good starting point and should provide inspiration -- I would also recommend David Meads excellent beginners guide to accompany this and fill in the gaps. By the way there is a more advanced Jimi Hendrix follow on to this book by the same author but I think it comes as a 2 video set possibly with a book attached -- I have not tried that (yet) so I cannot comment on its value.]

The BEST,
By Voodoo90 (VB, VA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Experience Hendrix, Book 1: Beginning Guitar Method- Learn to Play the Guitar Using the Songs and Style of Jimi Hendrix (Paperback)
You start learning Hendrix songs after 5 minutes in the book. It has a very helpful cd, that allows you to hear what it's supposed to sound like and give detailed instructions on how to play it. The songs include Purple Haze, the Banner, Third Stone from the Sun and some more.
