G------1----1---1-1----2b4b2p0----------------
D------2----2---2-2------------2----------0h2-
A---------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------0-0-0-3b4----

   and I chop it down with the edge of my hand



   bend in harmony

E---12-----------------------------
B---15b17--------------------------
G----------------------------------
D----------------------------0h2---
A----------------------------------
E----------------0--0-0-3b4--------

Right now repeat that end riff there about 3 times
and it goes into this 


E--------0---5b7b5p3p0--5p3h5p3h5-----------------------------
B----3---------------------------------------3p0--3b5-3p0-3p0-

D------------------------------------------2---2-----0h2---------
A--3-----3------3-----3-----3------3-----------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------3-------------

  I might even raise a little sand

then theres the main riff a few more times then before the
main solo its something like this


E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------
G---3---3---3--3----5--5--5---5---5--7--7--7--7--7--7-------------------
D-----------------------------7---7--------9--9--9--9---------------0h2-
A---3---3---3--3----5--5--5---5---5--7--7--7--7--7--7-------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------0--0--0-3b4-----

    Cause i'm a voodoo child lord know im a voodoo child baby

and then its into the solo after hitting the open E and B string a few
times (i'll just give the beggining to the solo)


E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----15b--15b-12--15--15b--15b-12---------------12h15p12---------------
G------------------------------------------14b-----------14bp12--------

   Repeat the above line a canny bit then stick LOADS of wah on and

E----------------------------------------------------------
B------15------15-----15---15------15----------------------
G------14b15---14b16--14---14b15---14b15--hit these a lot--
D----------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------
 Now WAH off >>

E--------------12---15b17------------------------------
B---12--15b17------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------0h2------
A------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------0--0--0--0-3b4-----------


so then theres a few other bits after this basically the same
sort or stuff as above apart from the muted clicks shown below
which Hendrix starts to go into

---------------------------------------------------------------
---x-------x---------------------------------------------------
---x---x---x---x--------------------------------2b4b2p0--------
---x---x---x---x----------0h2p0h2p0h2p0h2p0h2------------2-----
---x---x---x---x-----------------------------------------------
---x---x---x---x---3b4-----------------------------------------

do all the soloing over the e minor pentatonic scale
and it should all sound okay , heres the scale below

E-0----3------------------------12---15-----
B-0----3------------------------12---15-----
G-0----2------------------------12---14-----
D-0----2------------------------12---14-----
A-0----2------------------------15---14-----
E-0----3-----and at the 12th----12---15-----
