Analyzing Jimi Hendrix's Solo

The electric guitar is a beautiful, maddening instrument, and man does it sound good in the right hands. On this episode, Kirk takes a deep dive into solos by guitar legends Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix, and Larry Carlton.

FEATURED/DISCUSSED:

• "Seven Come Eleven" by Charlie Christian and Benny Goodman, recorded by the Benny Goodman Sextet in 1939
• "Fried Pies" by Wes Montgomery from Boss Guitar, 1963
• "Hey Joe" by Billy Roberts recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience on Are You Experienced?, 1967
• Larry Carlton's solo on "Kid Charlemagne" by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (AKA Steely Dan) from The Royal Scam, 1976

OUTRO SOLOIST: Kirk Hamilton

Kirk returns for another outro guitar solo, this time with a few new licks under his belt.
