Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix - By Jamie Harrison (Lesson in Description)

The lesson includes videos on how to play this song, understanding this style of guitar playing, chords, lyrics, note for note instruction, detailed info on my guitar and how to get the tone you hear here, my overall thoughts on tone, and tonnes more.

This is my version of the Hendrix 'mystery song', Hey Joe. One of Hendrix's first commercial hits, this is a cover song that Hendrix made famous, but clear songwriting credits are, to this day, a mystery, with several people claiming to have had a part in the writing of this song. The cover itself that Hendrix recorded and released, has been covered countless times, so I decided to put my own spin on this song. The rhythm is partly taken from his live performances of this song, but also dictated by what sounded best when looped on it's own without any other instruments for accompaniment. I also thought it deserved another solo, so I stuck a second one of my own in ;)

I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and a very Merry Christmas to you all 🤗🤘🏻

The lesson for this song is amazing value - I think people forget in this day and age that a standard music lesson with a teacher costs anywhere from £30-£50+, which in most cases won't be enough time to cover an entire song. Not only do you have access to tabs (which for the rhythm especially are difficult to use unless you watch the accompanying vids) but the theory and thinking behind chord changes and improvisation. Much respect for putting this together mate!

I just can’t over how good this song is… I mean it literally blows my mind every time. There’s a feeling I can only get with Hendrix, it was so natural and so effortlessly done !!! Pure genius
I will work my ass off to be able to play like this !!!

A four year career over half a century ago... Jimi was a gift from God. RIP

He doesn't post often... But when he does it's great

Right around 53 and 54 seconds with the harmonics is amazing.

I've listened to this almost every day since it was uploaded. Great playing, a pleasure to listen to, and an inspiration to play more seriously again myself.

It blows my mind this doesn’t have a million views yet. One of the most intricate songs out there in my mind, jimi was just feeling the licks and solos in this song, such in incredible playing. Keep it up man! Love this.
