The Dreaded Hendrix Chord
Have you ever been trying to play
some lead to a song and encountered this chord for an extended period of time?
You either have to know which scale(s) work with it or try to fake your way
through it and hope nobody notices (and that's no fun). Well, no need to fret
about it any longer! The scale below works and you can come up with some pretty
cool patterns experimenting with it.
To find the notes of the scale start on the root of the chord, (in this
case- E) move up 1 fret, (half step) then 2 frets, (whole step) then 1 fret,
(another half step) then whole step (except play it on the next string) then
half step, whole step, half step, whole step, and on and on! Below is one of my
favorite patterns derived from this scale.
