In this session we’ll be exploring the unique style of the legendary Jimi Hendrix through his version of the superb, classic rock ballad ‘Hey Joe’. We’ll explore his approach to playing rhythm, riffs and licks.
(We have had to move this session from 1 Mar because of London-wide tube strikes!)
Jimi Hendrix is one of the all-time greats. We’ll be looking at his style through his version of the classic rock ballad ‘Hey Joe’.
We’ll go through its simple but cool intro, the song’s form, chords and rhythm and review the techniques used and where the riffs and fills come from and how best to play them.
Intermediate acoustic and electric guitar players.
A good guideline is that you should be able to play a 12 bar blues in Bb.
You’ll receive any lesson PDF(s) just before the session and we’ll make a Zoom recording of the live lesson available to you afterwards.
The session is 60 minutes long; don’t expect to master everything during the session. The tutor will go through all the key parts, demonstrating them and discussing the associated techniques and know-how.
The real work is done by you afterwards. Armed with the materials (PDFs and video recording), you’ll have all the tools to work on things at your own pace.
When you book you’ll have two options:
1. You want to join the live Zoom session.
You’ll receive the joining instructions on the day. Being live, you’ll be able to put your own questions directly to the tutor during the session. Choose option 1, Live session and materials.
2. Maybe you’d like to attend but can’t make it on this occasion?
You can buy the materials and receive them after the session (i.e. lesson PDF(s) and access to a Zoom recording of the live session). Choose option 2, Materials only.
These sessions are most suitable for intermediate players (i.e. maybe some barre chords, a tad of music theory/knowledge, etc.). But lightbulbs will be flashing for players of all standards as you pick up some great ideas and approaches.
