Subject: TAB: 'Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)' by 'Jimi Hendrix'

Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), by Jimi Hendrix
I'm going by the Woodstock CD because I'm too lazy to tune my guitar down
a half step for how it was on the Ultimate Experience!

"Tabbed" by the great Patty Robison, patch@nicoh.com

Intro

USING:  The amazing, all powerful Vox Wah.

At first he's just strumming muted and wah-ing
I'm not sure, but it might sound better if you do this strumming with an E
chord like the dude who tabbed this before me did.  Since Jimi's in an E
minor pentatonic, anyhow.

That is just a second position barre chord:

e--7-----
B--9-----
G--9-----
D--9-----
A--7-----
E--------

So, just figure out some hypnotic muted rhythm while holding your fingers
OVER that position, that is don't press the frets.  It produces this barely
audible E sound that you can only hear if you're insane.  Trust me...

Here's the intro

E-|----------------------------------------------------|
B-|----------------------------------------------------|
G-|-7--7h9p7h9p7---7------------7h9p7h9p7---9~~--------|
D-|-------------9---5-5-5h7p5-------------9--------2---|
A-|---------------------------7--------------------2---|
E-|------------------------------------------------0---|
                                                                               
HEY, make sure that when you hit that e minor chord at the end, you only
let it ring for a second before you mute it out with your palm

Since you don't want to sit and read the exact same phrase four times in a
row, I'll just tell you the secret:  You repeat that EXaCT phrase three times,
then on the fourth time it does this:

E-|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------12----12---------|
G-|-7--7h9p7h9p7---7------------7h9p7h9p7---7---14b16----14--12~-|
D-|-------------9----5-5-5h7p5------------9----------------------|
A-|---------------------------7----------------------------------|
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------|

Alright, maybe not exactly, but the little oscillation caused by the combining
of the bended note with the note on the next string that it's being bended to
being played at the same time sound pretty darn neat.

After this you do a quick slide down on the low E string, if you want,
and hit the main riff

    Em
e-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|------------------------------------------12----12---12----12-------------|
G-|-----------0-2b3b2p0----------------------14b16(hold)14b16----12~~--------|
D-|-2-2--2--2-----------2-2-2-2-2--2-0h2p0h2--------------------------2-2-2-2|
A-|-2-2--2--2-----------2-2-2-2-2-------------------------------------2-2-2-2|
E-|-0-0--3--------------0-0-0-3-0-------------------------------------0-0-3-0|
                                                                               
You have to kinda get a little strum pattern going.  The two quick strikes
of the e minor up there are like, down, up real fast, etc.

Most of the song's main riff is like this, just like Chris said, but if you
need any help, here's the scale you can use, very basically

Most people who know a bit of theory can figure out how to improvise on this
very easily....in other words, I don't mean to be overly explanative!
