I will try the spaces and see if that resolves my problem. Thanks, I guess I'm so used to using tabs from DTP, that I don't think about anything else.

@csmart - that E7#9 is used in Purple Haze too, but I've never tried it in Hey Joe. I'm sure it sounds good though. I've also heard the 7#9 chords called Hendrix chords.

I've tried all those options. I've used Word, Notepad, textedit at home and at work. Mac and PC, sometimes I can get it to line up and other times the tabs doesn't seem to want to do anything.

I will reread it (the instructions) again carefully, but it's a real mystery.

Hope it helps. :D]]> Easy Songs greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/hey-joe-jimi-hendrix/#post-227453 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/hey-joe-jimi-hendrix/#post-227446 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 14:08:49 +0000
just a couple of additional info

chord changes: every two beats except for E chord that last 8 beats

strumming: if you play rhythm guitar, you could strum something like this dd/ddu/dd/ddu.

I tend to vary it a bit playing DD/ddu/ud/ddu or also DD/ddu/uu/dudu but that's your choiche.

cheers
