hello
i always see people on youtube teaching to play power chords in verse of hey joe (second chord, first being with the thumb over the neck)
my question is why not play them like that, isnt that more hendrix style? i believe chord should be D
there must be some(way outta here..)… i mean some reason why do they teach it like that, with power chords? or did i see wrong people on youtube?
here are examples:
here’s what they teach: https://ibb.co/4Ppkxq9
what i think is better: https://ibb.co/Wzz7zBj
can you tell my why no one teaches the second way?
Now I’ve re-read your post, the joke was obvious – I just missed it 🙂
I just had a quick listen and it’s not easy to pick out exactly what he’s playing because the recording quality isn’t that great. I think he’s playing just a mix of riffs, licks, half chords and bass notes with his thumb but I think he’s hooking right over to the fifth string sometimes, so it’s mostly root with the chord. For example, on the C chord he may be playing ..
E: x
B: 5
G: 5
D: 5
A: 3
E: x
But he’s possibly playing the A string with the thumb. I can’t here G in the bass at all so I doubt he’s playing this for instance.
E: x
B: 5
G: 5
D: 5
A: x
E: 3
