Dude I love the way you spend the time to dress up like the character and spend the money to buy the guitars to do these performances. Thanks so much it is deeply appreciated.
I think he rents the guitars, unless he has hella money all the guitar he shows in his videos would be 50k+ to buy and keep that is insane, he might even be trading them or something. Maybe some are his but I doubt he owns every single guitar he shows.
I didn’t realise just how interesting and intricate the rhythm playing is on this song. Really intricate and clever. Solo has perfect phrasing. Well played. And Hendrix was a genius.
Just a couple notes about the song. The rhythm guitars in this are doubled, just from another take I did. I panned them stereo wise and liked the sound. I didn't choose a standard strum pattern for this one. I felt like aiming for note for note. Which was a challenge in some parts where the guitar is buried somewhat in the mix. Those who are looking to get everything in this song, it might take a while to memorize 😂. Best thing to do is to get the essential parts and do your own thing with that. And that is all. Enjoy!
Brilliant job on all those sweet little Hendrixian accents. I struggle with making em flow natural. Please please do 'Say What' from Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I've been playing guitar for almost 10 years, and in this 10 years I've been lucky enough to know marvelous artists such as the Beatles, Eric Clapton, SRV.... all the legends, you name it. I also tried to study their playing styles - Lennon's grumpy rhythm, George Harrison's picking style that he adopted from Chet Atkins, SRV's aggressive train wreck bends, Kurt Cobain's unorthodox chord changes.... as times went by, I was able to imitate most of them if I tried very hard to practice. BUT the only exception is Jimi Hendrix. He had very little songs that came out during his tragically short career ( if you compare him to others like Paul McCartney), but if you listen to his live performances, you will notice that although he played ''Hey Joe'' for probably hundreds of times, each and every time he played, he'd came up with some new shits that no one has ever done before. My favourite one of his rendition is the Live at Berkeley "Hey Joe" - It's almost like everytime he play songs, he can somehow transfer the atmosphere around him, channeling those vibes onto his fingers and interpreted those feels perfectly, and I see little artists that can ever come close to this feat. Seriously, I can learn new stuffs everytime I listen to Hendrix's renditions, even though it's the same song from other performances. I cant remember how many times I had to pause, rewind and just to wondering how the hell he could improvise those licks without seemly any efforts. All the practices he had committed, and the times he spent with his guitar must've been insane. I've been listening to Hey Joe ever since I was a high school student, and it just never gets old. His name will be remembered for the posterity and his spirit will live on for the next hundreds of years to come. He is the Mozart of our times, no doubt.
@Jesus Requena So not only do you not understand music, you have no reading comprehension. I’m sorry that you’re one of those guys who feels like he has to hump a fretboard to prove a point lol Run along. You know nothing.
I also didn’t realise how many passing notes and embellishments there is in the rhyth and chords. Thank you so much for breaking this down , it’s incredible
One of my goals in life is to learn to play this song close how Hendrix played it. Of course i'll never get near what he sounded like but to play it such a way where it looks easy.
To all of you: start with the chords, even just with the power chords to get into the groove. Learn the concepts behind of what Jimi is playing, plug them in one by one and write a couple of your own licks. Then, don't slavishly play it like that one time Jimi played it on the record. Vary your stuff. It's a playing style that asks for playing how you are feeling in the moment. Most important is staying in the chord progression and on time.
I don't think that I could ever remember all the intricacies of the rhythm parts to this song to play it like you did.I would literally need the scrolling tab like in the video. Another great job of course.
Hey I know this is an old comment. Not sure if you ever learned this song exactly like in the video but I had the same problem it was hard to remember cause the amount of variation. Some advice my friend told me. Learn the basic chord progression (it’s just the circle of fifths) and then add improve on the E it doesn’t have to be exactly what Hendrix plays as he probably never played it the same more than a few times. It seems obvious but it made it easier to think about. Hope it helps and if not maybe it’ll help someone else!
Thats what i thought at first too. You just have to play it and play. Tried learning it a while ago with all the little thing and i didnt even get the first 20 seconds but since ive been getting better its easier to remember since you dont have to think about the playing as much and can concentrate on the notes and keep them in mind
I'm getting it slowly. Never realized how much lead he played while keeping rhythm. Thanks for these incredible tabs dude! So glad I found your channel 🙂
love this tab! been practicing this song the whole month, very hard to do everything perfectly. I get the phrasing, so far i can play until around 1:10 on memory.
This shows you don’t need to play as fast as Eric Johnson or malmsteen snd vai to play incredible music and have fun. This is intricate and complex while still being obtainable with practice to mortal beings. People forget about what having fun on the guitar is about.
whats crazy is.. I can hear little bits and pieces of the songs that I like in this exact tune.. crazy to think how much of an influence one man has had
I have just recently came across your channel and I must say, these covers are great. I like the enthusiasim that you put in these covers like dressing and having a guitar accordingly to your song. And obviously thanks a lot for the tabs, It helps newbies like me to learn it.
i stoped playing years ago,but now thanks to you and this channel i started again,love the tabs and your playing..this is by far the best youtube channel of music
Que toque mais lindo, parabéns ao saudoso Jimi Hendrix, Rei da guitarra elétrica, ninguém já mais vai quebrar esse recorde, não o vi tocando em vida , era uma criança na roça, não tinha a nada, mas hoje já ouvi esse cara que tanto me admira várias e várias vezes, e não me canso.
Have you heard the Isle of Wight version of Hey Joe where he inserts snippets of 'I feel fine', 'satisfaction' and 'A little country garden' into the song? That's the definitive version of Hey Joe.
enfin un super cours sur le titre Hey joe. L'intro est très bien expliquée, ce qui est loin d'être le cas d'autres guitaristes qui se disent professeur. Un grand merci
Wow. Amazing. Must have been a huge effort to get the left/right strung guitar. What a touch of authenticity AND a touch of class. Hope your doing well and thanks for the hard work.
Damn, man, cool! I didn't even expect that for this you would specially take a guitar for left-handers and remake it under the right-handers. As Hendrix did, only with right-handed guitars. In general, like.
I love this song for its pretty and emotive guitar parts so hearing your performance is such a joy and influential to me as guitarist & Hendrix fan since I really like your tone and melodic sound. Many cheers!
Love this channel just straight to it, no talking forever about every damn thing, just bam, how to play it atleast for me this is the best, I can just learn the damn song 😂 you seriously kick ass, and this is way awesome 👍 all of your stuff is just awesome.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that he was one of the greatest to ever combine lead and rhythm, him dying only 2 years older than me makes me feel very redundant, and he had so much more living to do :(
I was quite happy with the notification of tI was quite happy with the notification of this song, lately I'm learning Little Wing from you, thank youhis song, lately I'm learning Little Wing from you, thank you
There's a RU-vidr called Greg who does a great Villanova Junction cover with the camera nicely focused on his hands. He has a great catalog of Hendrix covers. Even Pali Gap. Thanks to slo mo and rewind I find his covers to be a great way to learn. (I would provide the link but I don't know how to do that.) But do a search like "greg Hendrix" and you'll find him. The Vibratory is pretty good too, but not so focused on what his hands are doing. There's also Guitar Force which does a lot of Hendrix tutorials if you want it broken down. But personally I think Greg is a great resource.
I'd be interested to hear what the version you were playing on the clip sounded like. Thanks for uploading the content anyway. To anyone who thinks the video matches the sound you have a way to go yet.
BROOOOOOO i played this song all the day trying to find a way to play it like de record and now tht im going to bed i see this in recommendations, fuck i'll plug the guitar right now, nice video, cheers from chile
Hey Joe Onde é que você vai Com essa arma aí na mão? Hey Joe Esse não é o atalho Pra sair dessa condição! Dorme com tiro acorda ligado Tiro que tiro Trik-trak boom Para todo lado Meu irmão, é só desse jeito Consegui impor minha moral... Eu sei que sou caçado E visto sempre como um animal Sirene ligada os homi Chegando trik-trak Boom boom Mas eu vou me mandando Hey Joe Assim você não curte o brilho Intenso da manhã Acorda com tiro dorme com tiro Hey Joe O que o teu filho vai pensar Quando a fumaça baixar Fumaça de fumo Fogo de revólver E é assim que eu faço E faço a minha história Meu irmão, aqui estou por causa dele E vou te dizer Talvez eu não tenha vida Mas é assim que vai ser Armamento pesado O corpo é fechado Eu não quero é mais ver Mas vai ser difícil me deter Hey Joe Muitos castelos já cairam E você tá na mira Hey Joe Muitos castelos já, e você tá na mira Também morre quem atira Menos de 5% dos caras do local São dedicados a alguma atividade marginal E impressionam quando aparecem nos jornais Tapando a cara com trapos Com uma Uzi na mão Parecendo árabes árabes árabes do caos Sinto muito cumpadi Mas é burrice pensar Que esses caras É que são os donos da biografia Já que a grande maioria Daria um livro por dia Sobre arte, honestidade e sacrifício Sacrifício... Arte, honestidade e sacrifício Também morre quem atira
Studio Recording vs live. Can't play that live and get that full sound without a rhythm player. You can hear the rhythm back track on here during the solo. Jimi was really good at going between rhythm and lead but it doesn't have such a full sound. Johhny B. Goode would be a good example too. Great job though man! I think you're content is top quality...great job and thanks for helping me figure out some fingering. Not sure if you have it but Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) studio version would be awesome. It's a masterpiece like a few of Hendrix's creations.
[SIGH] If only RU-vids and even tabs were around when I, as a long-haired 14-year-old schoolkid in 1968, was trying to learn how to play this on my crappy white Japanese Antoria guitar and crappy 15watt practice amp by playing Hey Joe on Jimi's Smash Hits LP over and over and over, bit by bit by bit, on a crappy Dansette portable record player. You young 'uns of today don't know just how good you've got it. Right, that's my grumpy old bald-as-a-coot Boomer moan over with. I feel so much better now.
Everyone I've heard that plays a song any song they sound different everyone's not going to play the song the same unless they can read music and they're playing it from the sheet music I myself have been playing the guitar for many years and I'm not going to make a video and tell people how they should play the song I'm not looking for any RU-vid Fame I just like playing the guitar I'm not a teacher so I listen to everyone that puts out a video on a song and enjoy what they play
