Alright that's about it...here are a few tips:
1. This is almost just as easy to play in standard tuning if you just play it a half
step down, you just got leave out some of the open E hits that Jimi does.
2. This may seem obvious, but make sure you have the recording ready while learning,
it's a hard one to get down
3. Hendrix does the hammer ons and pull offs at all different speeds; you'll have to
listen to figure it out. Sorry there's just no way for me to show that in the tab
4. Some of the multiple-string slides look daunting, but they're really not that bad.
If you've ever learned the intro to little wing or castles made of sand, he uses the same
technique in those.
Okay that's about it, if anyone has questions just ask them in the comments. Also, if
anyone requests it I'll finish the song, otherwise, thanks for viewing!
