Jimi Hendrix's super hit "Hey Joe"
Guitar Tab
Leszek Cichonski has set the new Guinness Record in simultaneous playing Jimi Hendrix's super hit "Hey Joe".
I would like to introduce you to a great friend of mine Leszek Cichonski. We've been corresponding for awhile now and I wanted to shine the spotlight on him for a moment. I found Leszek on Guitarhoo.com, great guitar site by the way. I found him under Indie Artist - Blues Guitar Players section. Anyway... I wrote Leszek an e-mail and asked if he could help me write some articles for Guitarz Forever.com. Well, he promptly responed back... However, he was very busy and felt his english wasn't up to par to write an article. As, I said before... we kept corresponding and I found out how involved he is personally with educating other musician's in his home of Poland.
Here's a neat site about the Event
