I posted messages on usenet requesting this song and when i received no replies i decided to try to work it out. This version is in A minor (which I think is the key Jimi played it in, if you want to play along with Jimi then you'll have to downtune half a step to Eb). I find this is a good type of song to jam with heaps of guitarists as there are always too many guitarists so you can use 3 with this... - one doing the lead riffs - one doing the 12 bar blues - one soloing Alternate so the poor guy doing the 12 bar blues doesn't fall asleep. I can't describe the timing but basically play it as fast as you can. -: Riff 1 E-|---------------------------------| B-|---------------------------------| G-|---------------------------------| D-|---------------------------------| A-|---------5-5-6-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| E-|-5-5-8-8-----------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| -: Riff 2 E-|---------------------------| B-|-----------7-5-------------| G-|-----------7-5-------------| D-|-7-7-7-5-5-7-5-------------| A-|-7-------------7-7-5-5-----| E-|-5---------------------8-8-| -: Riff 3 E-|----------------------------------------| B-|----------------12-10-------------------| G-|----------------12-10-------------------| D-|-12-12-12-10-10-12-10-------------------| A-|-12-------------------12-12-10-10-------| E-|-10-------------------------------13-13-| -: Riff 4 E-|----------------------------------------------------------------| B-|----------------------------------------------------------------| G-|--9-9-9-7-7------7-7-7-5-5--------------------------------------| D-|--9---------9-9--7---------7-7----------------------------------| A-|--7--------------5----------------------5-5-6-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| E-|--------------------------------5-5-8-8-----------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| Jimi alternates between playing the lead riffs and the 12 bar blues. 12 bar blues in A minor which goes with the riffs - brackets show which riff this section goes with: in this case the chords are A, D and E.
