5 Levels of “Hey Joe“ by Jimi Hendrix

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! Download the tabs here ► Ready to level up your playing?
