Jimi Hendrix
Born Under A Bad Sign



i like the old tab here but playing it as 8-10-8-10 i didnt really like, so i dropped
it down a bit......heres my take on the song

G  |-------------------6---------------------------------
D  |-------------6-h-8---8----------6--------------------
A  |-------6-h-8--------------6-h-8---4------------------
E  |-------------------------------------6---------------




right at the end theres a part you can switch it up to this (its just the last 2 notes)

G  |-------------------6---------------------------------
D  |-------------6-h-8---8----------6--------------------
A  |-------6-h-8--------------6-h-8----------------------
E  |----------------------------------4--6---------------



thats where i feel the song sounds most at home, but some people say they like
it differently, so heres two more ways to play it



all im doing here is dropped the notes a whole step (2 frets)

G  |-------------------4--------------------------------- Diff. Ending |G|---------------|
D  |-------------4-h-6---6----------4--------------------              |D|---------4-----|
A  |-------4-h-6--------------4-h-6----------------------              |A|---4-h-6---2---|
E  |----------------------------------2--4---------------              |E|-------------4-|

and same here, switch up the ending as u please




and here, raising the notes a whole step

G  |---------------------8------------------------------- Diff. Ending |G|----------------|
D  |--------------8-h-10---10-----------8----------------              |D|----------8-----|
A  |-------8-h-10----------------8-h-10------------------              |A|---8-h-10---6---|
E  |--------------------------------------6--8-----------              |E|--------------8-|




i also like the other parts that have been put in by the last two tabbers, so ill
include them here:



G-----------------------8-------11--12--11--10--8------------
D-------------8--h10-----10---------------------------10-----
A--8--h10----------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------

............again, take a step or two down if u'd like.....


and this one i really like

G  |-------------------6-8-6-------------------------------
D  |-------------6-h-8-------8-6---------------------------
A  |-------6-h-8-----------------8-6-4---------------------
E  |-----------------------------------6-------------------

.............step it up or down......





now im just listening to the song now and im writin this down as i go, as i notice it, cuz i changed
the equalizer to filter out mostly everything but the bass, so this could be right or wrong

but sounds right to me ;)




G  |----------------6-8-------------------------------------
D  |----------6-h-8---------------6-8---8-----8-6-----------
A  |----6-h-8---------------6-h-8-----6-----------8-6-4-----
E  |----------------------------------------------------6---

(i think that this last one is completely wrong, but definitely could be fit in)



G  |---------------6-8----------------------------------------------------
D  |---------6-h-8--------------------------------------------------------
A  |---6-h-8---------------44-66-8--8-86-------8-6--6-64-------6-4--------
E  |--------------------88---------------4-5-6-----------2-3-4-----6------



or



G  |---------------6-8----------------------------------------------------
D  |---------6-h-8--------------------------------------------------------
A  |---6-h-8---------------44-66-8--8-86-------8-6--6-64-6---8-6----------
E  |--------------------88---------------4-5-6-------------8-----6--------



or



G  |---------------6-8----------------------------------------------------
D  |---------6-h-8--------------------------------------------------------
A  |---6-h-8---------------44-66-8--8-86-------8-6------------------------
E  |--------------------88---------------4-5-6----------------------------




now the music really climaxes at this point so even with the equalizer its hard to distinguish
whats being played so thats my interpretation, otherwise, towards the end sounds right, just try to
listen to the song and get the timing down...
you will notice when to play this cuz u can hear the notes change good enough, and if u find a way
to do it better than this way please share it with me and everyone else

this is a pretty crazy song and a great bassline, thats not really too hard to play, so please,
do it some justice

i know there are parts that are in the song that i couldnt tab but im not going to waste my life
away trying to get it perfect, just mess around wit it n come up with somethin of your essence

and ya, this song is pretty much just using scales and jumping by whole steps, so fool around with 
it and see wat you can come up with

and if u come up with anything really sick, email it to me at hail_mary77@hotmail.com

peace

o ya, rate this.........its my first (well, tech. my second)
make sure u rate it
