This solo is fairly challenging, so breaking it down into smaller chunks is recommended. We&#8217;ll start by listening to the solo at full speed, and then at a slower speed. After that, we&#8217;ll get into each part of the solo so you can learn how to play it.<\/p>\n<p>The solo in &#8220;Hey Joe&#8221; is almost entirely played using the minor pentatonic scale, which makes this solo pretty easy to wrap your head around. The hardest part will be replicating Jimi&#8217;s sound. The key to sounding like Jimi is getting down the expressiveness in his playing. In this case, it means nailing the legato phrases and vibrato.<\/p>\n<p>It may take you some time to get this solo down. To be as efficient as possible, we suggest breaking up your practice time into small, focused sessions (10-20 mins) a couple times a day for the best result. Doing this will help you learn faster, and stave off mental and physical fatigue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Speed<\/strong><br \/>\n<audio style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/guitareo-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/resources\/hey-joe-full-speed-clip.mp3\" controls=\"\"><\/audio><\/p>\n<p><strong>Slow Speed<\/strong><br \/>\n<audio style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/guitareo-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/resources\/hey-joe-slow-speed-clip.mp3\" controls=\"\"><\/audio><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"resources\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/guitareo.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/hey-joe-guitar-solo-jimi-hendrix.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode of Riffin&#8217; Through Time, we&#8217;ll be taking a look at the guitar solo from &#8220;Hey Joe&#8221; by Jimi Hendrix.
