... musician, and get to a point somewhere between
the Trio record and Room for Squares-and
that's a really good place to be."
While the Trio tour showcased Mayer's blazing
fretwork, he says he learned lessons from those
shows about restraint. "When I made my first
record, there was no trust in space because it was
all me; everything was just on those six strings," he
says. "With Steve and Pino it was all about space,
using a whole different palette. When your tone is
good on the guitar, you need, like, four notes. The
more concise and right you have it, the less you
need around it." One listen to such spare, carefully
crafted songs as "Slow Dancing in a Burning
Room" or "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)"
instantly reveals this new approach.
Mayer points to one song in particular as
the turning point for Continuum. "I wrote 'Gravity'
last summer, and it changed everything," he
says. "You talk less when you trust that people
understand you. 'Gravity' had to be sparse. And
when I listened to it for the first time, holding
back, it was a whole new game. That might be
the most important song I ever wrote."
Armed with this outlook, Mayer knew
Continuum would tackle larger ideas than
those that defined his previous albums. "A big
challenge was writing about big themes," he
says. "I'm not a better writer in terms of sitting
down in front of a pad, but I'm better in terms
of receiving inspiration and converting it into
something 'real' quicker. I'm better equipped to
deal with those moments."
The hard-hitting "Belief" tackles an
infinitely complex subject. Over a slinky,
hypnotic guitar groove, he sings, "We're never
gonna win the world, we're never gonna stop
the warlWe're never gonna beat this if belief is
what we're fighting for," questioning the power
and the limitations of faith and convictions.
"It's an intellectuallandmine-how do you
write a song about what people believe without
impugning their belie s?" he asks. I wanted
to get right next to people's beliefs and look at
them without threatening them. It's tricky. You
only get x number of syllables and you have to
write something you can defend."
With "Waiting on the World to Change,"
Mayer shot for something even more ambitious something
like an attempt to explain his
generation's attitudes about politics. "It's
meant to shed a little light on inactivity and
inaction," he says, "because I don't believe that
inaction is a lack of interest. I think inaction is
preservation-nobody wants to get involved in a
debate in which the rules and facts will change
so that they'll lose. So we end up with this other
option, which is, I guess we'll just have to wait
for things to get better.
Continuum also includes the first cover
Mayer has put on an album, his version of "Bold
As Love" by the incomparable Jimi Hendrix. "To
me, it's the quintessential Jimi Hendrix song,"
says Mayer. "The sensitivity, the imagery, the
power. I also think the third record is the time
when you challenge everybody. It's your throwdown.
Ilike inviting the challenge of, Should
this guy even touch Hendrix's music? To which I
answer, Well, everybody should. Why not?"
Ultimately, Continuum represents maturity,
both musically and thematically, for John
Mayer-a concept that he wasn't comfortable
with until now. "A lot of these songs are about
coming to terms with getting older," he says.
"My generation was never told we were going to
get older. We thought we were going to hear our
names on Romper Room for the rest of our lives.
For a long time, I was really upset about getting
older, worried that things were just going to level
out. But then I realized that everyone around me
was getting older at the same time. We're all
fighting it together, and we're always going to
be those kids, the first really emotionally aware
generation. When I realized that, I could relax
about it a little bit. And I thought that maybe I
can be the guy to sing about it.

Come ti è venuta l'idea del completo da scolaro?

Dalla mia sorella. Quando ero piccolo, tornavo da scuola e mi attacavo alla mia chitarra senza togliere l'uniforme. Per cena non ero ancora cambiato ma continuavo a suonare la chitarra. Mia sorella mi ricordava sempre questo fatto. Lei pensava che era carino suonare in uniforme. E era proprio lei che un giorno ha detto a Malcolm e me, “Sapete, sarebbe carino che lui uscisse sul palco vestito con la divisa di scuola. Almeno la gente guarderà qualcosa.” Penso che aveva ragione e che abbia funzionato.”

There have certainly been many musical acts that have changed the face of pop music forever: Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc. However, most bands that affect the musical world in this way usually enjoy fairly long recording careers of a decade or more. Jimi Hendrix turned the music world (let alone the guitar world!) upside down, and he did it with a recording career that lasted just over three years. In this second volume of Jimi Hendrix Signature Licks, we'll explore twelve more classics from the Hendrix catalog. We'll study each one in depth, focusing on the tone, guitar techniques, production techniques, compositional devices, and all the other aspects that made Hendrix the undeniable musical force that he was. From the delicate "Angel" to the mellow otherworldliness of "Third Stone from the Sun" and the magical virtuosic display of "Machine Gun," we'll get a glimpse into all facets of Jimi's unbridled guitar genius. All of the guitar parts are represented on the accompanying recording, and the difficult guitar parts are slowed down and isolated for closer examination. While every effort has been made to duplicate the sounds heard on the original recordings, please remember that there is only one Hendrix; in order to truly experience his music you need to listen to his definitive versions. Now let's get on it with it, and prepare to have your guitarplaying mind blown...

When more than one icon appears after a figure, the first track listed is a recording of the figure in full. All other track numbers listed are notable guitar parts played more slowly.

Figure 5-Guitar Solo 3
Hendrix's musical genius simply shines in the third solo. He begins by kicking on the wah wah and climbing up the C# minor pentatonic scale in sixteenth-note octaves. He follows this in measure 3 with a sixteenth-note line out of home base: the C# minor pentatonic scale in ninth position. He remains in this position for the sixteenth-note lick in measures 5-6, but he includes the hip 9th (D#) note for a hexatonic scale sound (C#-D#-E-F#-G#-B). He finishes off this eight-measure section with two unison bends: C# over C#m in measure 7, and D# over A in measure 8, resulting in a colorful Lydian (#4) tonality. Throughout these first eight measures, the articulation of the wah wah pedal results in a beautiful, lazy, behind-the-beat feeling that grabs the attention of the listener and doesn't let go. It's a real lesson in how the rhythmic phrasing of a line can add a whole new dimension to a phrase.
Hendrix turns off the wah for the second section of the solo, which turns out to be the most unique-sounding guitar work in the song. Working from the top two strings of an E barre chord shape, Hendrix creates a descending double-stop motive that alternates the 9th and tonic over the 5th for each of the C#m and B chords. He moves this same doublestop shape down again for the A chord, but abandons the 9th/tonic approach for something even more interesting and ear-grabbing. Here he moves to strings 2 and 3 and slides up into an E/G double stop, implying a bluesy A7 tonality, an unheard sound as of yet. He moves this 5th/b7th double stop up a step to F#/A for the B chord in beat 3, punctuating beat 4 with an A/C dyad-the b7th and b9th of B! Measure 11 is essentially a repeat of measure 9 (with slight variation), but he changes things up again for measure 12. As if not to wear out his newfound harmonic interpretations so quickly, Hendrix fills out the remainder of the measure with a barrage of muted sixteenth-note strums for a purely rhythmic effect. Measures 13-14 are essentially a repeat of 9-10, and Jimi rounds out the section with a series of ascending unison bends that climb through the C# minor pentatonic scale. This results in an eight-measure phrase that makes effective use of the "question-answer" approach, repeating earlier parts of the phrase with alternate endings each time. Make sure and notice the difference that the rock-solid rhythmic delivery plays in this section when contrasted with the first eight measures of the solo. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
