Excellent teaching method. You really took a complex style and broke it down enough to make it feel achievable to a novice such as myself.

I'm glad to hear that! Little Wing is such a great showcase of so many of Hendrix's skills. If you haven't already, check out some videos of him playing it. They can be a real eye-opener.
