Spanish Castle Magic Chords & Tabs
Spanish Castle Magic
Jimi Hendrix
This is probably not quite right and I'm not too sure about the chord
names either. However, it approximates how I learned the basic parts
of this song years ago. Hope this helps.
Notation:
--7~----- Vibrato
--9/----- Slide up
--17\---- Slide down
--2h4---- Hammer-on
--6p4---- Pull-off
--6b7---- play fret 6, bend string to reach pitch at fret 7
--6b7r6-- play fret 6, bend string to reach pitch at fret 7, then
release to reach pitch at fret 6
