The best way to describe the way Jimi Hendrix played is “complete freedom” on the fretboard. He was the king of mixing rhythm and lead guitar together at the same time. Even if you stripped the other instruments away from his performances, there was an entire ensemble of guitar happening at once. A great way to start learning to play like this yourself is to break one of his songs down into levels. In this lesson, we’ll be using the song “Hey Joe” to work our way through the skills you need to play guitar like Jimi Hendrix!

I’ve been playing for 40 years and, if I don’t say so myself, I’m a pretty good guitar player. I started watching these videos to see what advice she is giving to beginners. But now I’m watching because I’m learning new things. Nice job!

Thank you for including the Delta Blues influence on Jimi. Once you hear and understand the Delta Blues, you suddenly realize how much influence it had on rock. Thanks for this great video.

The best Hey Joe lesson I've ever seen. You really get to the heart of Jimmy's genius which was that lead/rhythm meld on a foundation of groove. When you lock in on that groove you can throw in just about anything and it will work...total freedom on the instrument which, to me, was Jimmy's legacy.

I just want to say that as a beginner trying to move into the intermediate level, I really appreciate this approach to learning a song. Thanks!

This is the best format for guitar lessons, period. Start simple, learn the changes, build from that. Great stuff.

I am consistently impressed by your approach to lessons. You give us the "how" of things, but you also give us the "why", and you do it in a clear and succinct fashion. You don't just tell us how to play the different chord voicings, you explain why they augment our performance. Thank you!

I' was a teenager when Hendrix became famous, so I've listened to Hendrix for a long time. This is far and away the best tutorial on Hey Joe that I have ever viewed, and I have looked at lots and lots of them. One of the very best, most authentic covers of the song too, with drive and intensity that invokes the spirit and sound of the original. Ayla is not only a superb guitarist with fantastic touch and feeling for the instrument, but having viewed other of her videos, I know she is also a wonderfully gifted and generous teacher. Ayla is so clear and straightforward in her approach that we can't help but learn from her. This, I know, has been to state the obvious, so it is perhaps just a way to say ""Thank you, Ayla!"

I saw Jimi Hendrix the day Hey Joe went to #1 in the UK. The ballroom was nearly empty because very few people knew who he was at that point. I have long since given up on guitars with six strings but I really enjoyed this video Thanks.

This is honestly one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Clearly explained, adding complexity as you go along. Brilliantly played. Subscribed.

I once had a book Jimi wrote on playing lead (my ex stole it with almost all of the song books I ever had, I got the book when Jimi was still alive, grrr...) and one of the things he emphasized in his book was the blues scale with extra "coloring notes" he called them which basically switched between major and minor pentatonics and became the basis of almost all the lead solos I played since then. I love your style of teaching, keep it up!

As an advanced beginner who's literally spent decades trying to cross that Intermediate threshold, this is one of the best guitar tutorials I've ever seen (and I've seen many!). That Hendrix blend of rhythm and lead is what drives so many of us to attempt to deconstruct his style, but one thing that often gets ignored is the groove. I love the clear and concise breakdown of how to attack the strumming pattern, and how to incorporate the licks while always maintaining that rhythm. Hey Joe is one of the first songs I ever learned almost 40 years ago, yet I feel like I'm learning it for the first time. A brilliant lesson by a truly gifted teacher. Thank you for this, Ayla!

My journey began when I was 12 or 13 years old… I’ll never forget it. I went on rode trip to Florida from the East Coast with my family to visit my Uncle Eddie who had no arms. I was fascinated by him because he drove a car, was a professor as well as an artist. He used his toes to write with a magic marker and many more things that sound to hard to believe so I’ll stop there. Anyway, when we arrived he took me way upstairs to the attic and was blaring Hendrix. He sat me down with his friends, they were all what you call Flower Children. They were passing around a bong a telling stories about Woodstock. Uncle Eddie had me try one puff, one only and watched me very carefully. Bless his heart. From that moment to now no one ever made my heart sing like Jimi… As a matter of fact, I eventually left my High School sweetheart because she didn’t his music. Some things never change.
So here I am 40 years later trying to learn guitar with major medical issues, smoking medical marijuana and very responsibly for chronic pain, which I surely recommend to anyone in place of opioids. I thought I might say that to benefit others since I’m writing in this public fashion, which is extremely rare but I had no choice. Because of you and your teaching techniques and the absolute fun Guitareo jam sessions I enjoy watching so much. I was motivated to get a stick guitar.
I was completely bedridden, left for dead. Oh, by the way. Happy belated Halloween to you all there and Ludic…lol
Okay, so after you read this go ahead and delete it if it’s offensive in anyway…lol
I’m normally a very private person I just had to let you know… Peace to you all

I began learning “Hey Joe” early on in my weekly (face to face) guitar lesson. I’ve come back to this video a few times and always take away something new.
