Note - This is my first attempt at transcribing this awesome song... 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

-: Riff 2

-: Riff 3

-: Riff 4

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.

The order goes like this:

Intro : Start off with some small solo then do riff 1 (no 12 bar blues behind this riff, it`s the turn around riff)

:beginning goto beginning

then repeat this pattern until you`re sick of hearing it.
