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.
