Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady guitar tab

Your rating:

Someone made a request for some Hendrix tab a wee while ago.  Here's my
version of Foxy Lady.  Most of this (as in the chord shapes) was sussed
out from watching the video "Jimi Plays Monterey."

This is my first attempt at posting some tab, so please excuse it if its
a bit unorthodox.

Key:	/ - slide up
	\ - slide down
	bu - bend up (eg 2bu4 is fretted at the second fret, the note is bent
			up to the note at the fourth fret)
	h - hammer on (eg 2h4 is note at second fret, hammer on to note at
			the fourth fret)
	p - pull off.


Foxy Lady - Jimi Hendrix ("Yeah! Lets get down to business, just gimme one
second to get down to business.")

Intro - Basically Jimi plays the first note with heaps of vibrato.  He starts
off with the volume control of his guitar turned right down, strikes the note
and then brings the volume control up, so that the note rises to a scream.


 vibrato	 F#7(#9) - I think - or otherwise its F#m7

You got to be all Mine		    Oooh! foxy lady!


The second verse is played much the same as the first, but with different
embilishments is the chords - Hendrix seemed able to invent them on the spot.


The lead in to the solo goes like:


---------------------17bu19-etc-----------
/14----/14 /14----------------------------
----14---------14-------------------------
------------------16----------------------
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------


If anyone has managed to suss out a decent sounding solo for this song
(like Jimi plays it differently every time!) let me know.

I'd also be keen to get my hands on tab for the solo of Stairway to Heaven,
if anyone has it.

If you learn this song, you've got to learn the 'Garth Dance' from the Foxy Lady scene in Wayne's World.

I downloaded the full 'Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock' video. It rules! The man's just so cool...
