Killing Floor (Open string style)
August 16th, 2009 | by admin |
Here’s an example of using a ringing open string to bolster your solo acoustic playing. In this video, I’m simply strumming the open A string whenever I get a chance between playing the main riff.
Jimi Hendrix used this style to great effect on this song and with even more complex examples of this technique in songs like ‘Little Wing’ and ‘Castles Made of Sand’.
Be free with the A string and make it part of the rhythm.

i just wanted to thank you,
i watched the monterey video and realized that i played this all wrong, but the angle you did this at shows me better than jimi on stage.
this is really great! thanks again
and take care
so much easier to play along when your not looking at it the “wrong way”.
