Hey Dave, I really enjoyed the Yellow Ledbetter lesson. You are an awesome instuctor.

I struggle mightily with the Jimi Hendrix/SRV grip. I've spent hours with different variations and no matter how I adjust my hand I can not get all the notes to ring out like they should. I can play most of the riffs with a standard bar chord grip and still use my pinkie finger to add the embellishments. In my opinion it sounds pretty much like it should.

My question about this topic would be is it really necessary to learn that grip? What are the real advantages it may present? Also, if possible, a lesson or link to one if it already exists on this grip would be awesome.

Thanks,
