This clip shows you how Jimi Hendrix would take a regular power chord and ornament it with slides and pull-offs. The great thing about this lick is that it will work over any major power chord.
There's a sea of Guitar Geek stuff online, but I thought it was worth sharing my bag of tricks & licks. In my years as a teacher and my years in the business, I've learned a thing or two and I have absolutely no interest in keeping it to myself. We also have some pretty awesome students coming through our Guitar Labs so this is a good spot if you're looking for ideas and inspiration. Keep up on what I'm up to at and around Modern Music Academy, and stay fresh with your guitar playing. A lot of this material is taken from our Guitar Lab curriculum at Modern Music Academy.

With his team, Darren Clarke (Founder and Director of Modern Music Academy on the Central Coast of CA) is bringing his expertise as a guitar player, recording artist, producer, published songwriter & teacher together to build an outstanding experience for students at Modern Music Academy. Darren has a First Class Honors BA in Contemporary Music & Music Business from the Academy of Contemporary Music in London, Europe's Leading School of Rock and Pop. His most recent band "RHODES" scored an opening slot with Aerosmith, legendary rock icons in the summer of 2007.
"Darren Clarke. In the circles I run in, that's usually enough said... one of the most talented guitar players I've ever encountered. An absolute genius at finding melodies and hooky lines that really set in and make a song... I learned quickly that when Darren says something isn't working right.... he knows what he's talking about. Just sit back and let him work his magic. But the great thing about Darren is that with all that talent.. he has almost zero ego. I'm wondering if Darren isn't some new breed of guitar playing superhero” - Daniel Whittington, 2008
Love the fire extinguisher in the back ground. Is that because you're smoking hot?!
