E flat tuning. Stevie uses a Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer on both versions
of this song. On the version on the Soul To Soul album he plays into
another Hendrix song, "Third Stone From The Sun". On that version he
uses a couple effects (which is what I like to use). He uses wah (vox),
vibrato, and like 2 seconds of delay. Here it is:
