Hey Joe

When I first started playing I figured if I could learn this most kick arse of rock songs, I'd be a badass.
Learning the song was easy enough ... but being a badass? Not so much.
Anyway, for anyone else out there who loves hearing or playing the damned thing, I'll post some of the gazillion covers that have been done since the dawn of R 'n R.
Beginning with Alvin Lee:

Behind Hendrix, Love's version is my favorite.

The chord progression for this kinda blew my mind when I first learned to play it.

The Leaves' version was the most commercially successful of this rock and roll warhorse but personally I like the versions by the Byrds and by Jimi Hendrix the best.

Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush.
I saw Roy Buchanan live over 20 times, and he played Hey Joe every performance. No two versions were the same. He would invariably end the song with a transition to Purple Haze or Foxy Lady. He also did a cover of Hendrix's If 6 Was 9.

Might as well throw in Zappa's 'Flower Punk" take on Hey Joe:
