HEY JUDE CHORDS IN C PROFESSIONAL I definitely agree with a few commenters who note the “secondary plagal” effect of this progression (for some reason my reddit app isn’t letting me respond in line with other comments.). It’s definitely moving toward the E the whole first 4 bars then hangs on E the second 4 bars. I liked what some folks had to say about the modal borrowing going on. If you go this route you can think of it a few ways to make it easier to solo:Į - you have four bars to experiment but E mixolydian has a nice major 3 flat 7 thing that suits the tune. I prefer to think about it even simpler, that it basically starts in E natural minor then gets a little Dorian then Mixolydian. Just feeling it out is probably best (and seems like what Jimi was doing). And due to the bluesy nature of the song, you can pretty much use minor or major 3rds of each chord as long as you make it sound like a choice and not a mistake. A la playing minor blues licks over major blues changes. In key of G, A is the 5 chord and E is the 6? Also as the “riff” / bass line suggest, a little chromaticism never hurt anyone when you’re thinking about “where you’re going” instead of “where you are”. In key of G, Am is the ii chord, and Em is the vi. These chords are both major in Hey Joe.Ī and E major can occur in G major, but usually as "secondary dominants". I.e., A major will normally lead to D, and E major will normally lead to Am. IOW, if this sequence was in reverse - and used 7ths - then the key could be C major! The bridge of the jazz classic I Got Rhythm (in C major), runs E7 A7 D7 G7 and back to C.īut Hey Joe is a cycle of 4ths, each one resolving to the next (in a IV-I "plagal cadence") until it lands (pretty definitively) on E. Remember it spends two whole bars on E, and only ever 2 beats each on the other chords. ![]() E is - therefore - very clearly the key centre. It's true there are hints of other key centres in the sequence. E.g, C-G sounds like either a I-V in C, or a IV-I in G. ![]()
