Listen to all the variations hendrix made.The solo is in Db (10th fret) on the minor petonic scale. Tabbing it out wouldbe rather pointless, its a great solo, but its just not a good solo to copy.Listen and make an improv on it. This can be a great excercise for yourlead skills. Listen to the story jimi tells with the solo, and then tryto tell your own story with it. At first, its just plain guitar, thenguitar with WAh, and after the vocal cameo, is that guitar wah and octavia?I think it's guitar wah and octavia. Then there is also some cool harmonicstuff. I'm not sure how hendrix did it, but you can do it with tapped pickedharmonics.(Hold your finger one octave above note, and pick with freefingers.) Here's a few lyrics:1= vocal one (Jimi)2= vocal two (Buddy Miles?)1: They Don't know2: They Don't know1: Like I know2: Like I know1: Do you Know?2: They Don't know1: I don't know2: I don't know1: Well my baby's2: Well my baby's1: Puttin Down(?) <------ I don't know if this is right2: Puttin Down(?) <------ Puttin out??1: Well my baby2: Well my baby1: Puttin Down things2: Puttin down now1: Just came back from2: I don't knowAnyway, this will get you started.If you used this at all, send email to spam@conval.edu.
