Learn how to play If 6 was 9, as performed by the Jimi Hendrix experience released as part of his Axis: Bold as Love record in 1967. A definite favorite of mine and one where we see Jimi employing a mix of rock/blues riff-o-rama with very clever jazzy sounding chord voicings with soaring beautiful fluttering guitar solos overhead.

The lesson covers the rhythm and lead guitar parts and approaches that Jimi uses on this song and there's a surprise (at least it was to me) with those jazzy chords that you should tune in to find out about.
