Tuning: 1/2 step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

I just put the main parts you can understand. Since
Jimi changes the psychotic madness with the whammy
each time I'm not going to really put down the parts where
he goes of on the 'solos'. This is just like he plays it though.
With all the extreme bends and vibrato! Also, Jimi uses a lot of
feedback in various areas in this version.

Tab Key =
b = full step bend or more
v = vibrato (with the whammy bar or with your fingers)
~ = let note ring or sustain
h = hammer on
p = pull off
/slide up
\slide down

?	= use the wah pedal if you want to (sounds pretty cool)
?	= Whenever you se bv~ that means a very rapid bend and
     vibrato to get a whammy bar sound. And you should go
     off every now and then into some heavy feedback solo
     kind of thing. Listen to his version to get the idea
     of how to improve this stuff.

This below is a cool little slide. The v = whammy bar vibrato.
7/9bv = is a quick slide from 7 to 9 then bend and vibrate.

Then 7bvv is a very whammy sounding bend you do with your fingers.

-0brbrbrbrbrbrvvvvv--|This last bar is a very extreme bend & vibrato with the
-0brbrbrbrbrbrvvvvv--|whammy bar. You can also bend the strings right behind the
---------------------|nut if you have a Les Paul type guitar like me. Just press
---------------------|down and release the strings behind the nut rapidly to get
---------------------|the effect. It’s easier than it sounds.
