Learn how to play You Got Me Floatin', as performed by The Jimi Hendrix Experience released in late 1967. This is my favorite Jimi album, the sound engineering is so good, he is in his prime, and there is so much great material there.
The lesson covers Jimi's rhythm guitar that drives most of the song, also the unique 8 string bass that Jimi plays on the record, and I'll show you how you can achieve those backwards solo pieces by using the Boss DD8 Digital Delay in "reverse" mode. Get one here imp.i114863.net/rnKrAv
