                                         little unsure here^

(A little known fact, Hendrix took this solo from the "Strangers
 In The Night" by Frank Sinatra) 
                                         
the rest of the solo is just feedback destortion from overdrive
and tube screamers and wah and of couse him smashing his guitar
