C, G, D, A, E. If you can play those you can strum along to Hey Joe, and the middle bit of ADITL.

If you can hear how the ADITL bridge relates to "Hush", just try to imagine the "Hey Joe" chords sequence played overtop. Or think of "Hey Joe" being stretched so each chord lasts twice as many bars.

I've read that thread and other similar ones on enough forums to know that it never ends. Is that the part that supposedly comes from Hey Joe? I know it's the same chords as the na na na part of Hush by Deep Purple/Billy Joe Royal/Joe South.

I have no background in music theory and don't play an instrument, so I might be in over my head here. But speaking of Hendrix, can someone try to explain how the bridge in ADITL was inspired by Hey Joe? The aaahhs part of ADITL is probably my favourite 30 seconds of music ever, so I'm particularly interested to hear which parts of Hey Joe it sounds like.

There's interesting stuff going on in that one, with both the guitars and organ, and some augmented stuff in the bass.

 

How about 'Come Together',with the bass and piano?

Apparently, they referred to it as the "Gretty chord" after Jim Gretty, the music-store salesman who had taught them how to play it.

 

- It's the final chord of the solo in Till There Was You

- John switches to it twice at about 2:54 into She's A Woman

- George starts off with it in the second solo in Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby

- The Word "suggests" it (It's played as an F5 chord on the top two strings, but it "becomes" ...]]> Sun, 04 Nov 2012 06:53:22 +0000
