How to Add Major Pentatonic Fills Between Chords (Hey Joe Study)

In this lesson, we’re using Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix as a study in adding major pentatonic fills between chords. Instead of just strumming through chord changes, we’ll look at how to connect chords using small melodic fills from the major pentatonic scale. This adds movement, groove, and personality to your rhythm playing. This approach helps you: – Improve rhythm and groove – Connect scales and chords in a practical way – Develop better timing between chord changes – Add musical fills without overplaying – Think like a complete guitarist (not just rhythm or lead) This concept applies far beyond Hey Joe. Once you understand how these fills fit between chords, you can use it in countless progressions and styles. Focus on feel, phrasing, and space. The goal isn’t to play more, it’s to play more musically. #guitar
