Update:also, is there any tricks/tips to playing hendrix??
Verified answer
His studio stuff is very simple. Fire is extremely easy. So is Purple Haze. He uses fuzz, and if you want to get his tone, I would recommend very high gain along with low volume on the amp, or maybe the guitar if you feel like it. He does use wah in a few tracks, but not consistently during main riffs.
Tips and Tricks: Get used to improvising on penatonic scales in E. Especially for tracks like Hear My Train a' Comin, Voodoo Chile [Slight Return], Voodoo Chile (Too different songs, but thats a whole different story) and also work on phrasing. Also, Hendrix would also play with his thumb by leaning it over the neck of the guitar and onto the sixth string, this is weird at first, but I've been doing it a while and now it is just habit. This is great for songs like Purple Haze to add a bass funk kinda sound during the main riff.

How long it takes to learn guitar depends on how good you want to get and how much practice you put in. How good you can get with 1-2 hours a day for a few months depends on what methods you use to practice. There are effective practice methods that will help you make the best use of your time. This course is one of the best. https://bitly.im/aOfQt It's not just about how much you play but how effectively you play that will determine how good you will get.

Hendrix is my absolute God, and I have been told by many decent Guitarists that none of his tracks are basically that difficult to play. Whether you can reproduce the energy, feeling and passion that made him so unique is something else.
