Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) - Jimi Hendrix ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Intro] eb|-----| Bb|-----| Gb|-x-x-| Db|-x-x-| Ab|-x-x-| Eb|-----| This muted wah riff can't be transcribed. I do it with a lot of palm muting with slight distortion while muting an E chord on the A string. The same goes for the bits marked x x x in the rest of the intro ... eb|-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------| Bb|-----------------------------------x-x-x-|---------------------------------| Gb|-/9-7---7-------------/9-7---9-9-7-x-x-x-|-/9-7---7-----------/9-7--9-9----| Db|------9---5-5-7-5----------9-------x-x-x-|------9---5-5-7-5-------9--------| Ab|------------------7----------------x-x-x-|------------------7--------------| Eb|-----------------------------------------|------------------------------0--| eb|-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------| Bb|-----------------------------------x-x-x-|---------------------------------| Gb|-/9-7---7-------------/9-7---9-9-7-x-x-x-|-/9-7---7-----------/9-7---7-----| Db|------9---5-5-7-5----------9-------x-x-x-|------9---5-5-7-5--------9-------| Ab|------------------7----------------x-x-x-|------------------7--------------| Eb|-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------| eb|---------------| Bb|-/12-12-10-8---| Gb|-------------9-| Db|---------------| Ab|---------------| Eb|---------------| eb|------------------------------------3--------------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------------3--------------------------------------| Gb|----2b3r2p0-------------2b3r2p0--------14b15r14b15r14-12---14-12\2---------| Db|--2---------2---------2---------2------------------------------------------| Ab|--2---------2---------2---------2------------------------------------------| Eb|-\0---------0-0-3-0---0---------0-0----------------------------------------| eb|------------------------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------2b4r(real-slow-back-down-to-2)-2b3r2p0-| Db|-2----------------------------------------------| Ab|-2----------------------------------------------| Eb|-0-0-3-0----------------------------------------| ****SORRY THIS IS AS MUCH INTRO AS I HAVE TIME FOR**** +==== Important bit here! ==================+ | | | eb|--------------------|-----------3-3-| | | Bb|--------------------|-----------3-3-| | | Gb|------------2b3r2p0-|---------------| | | Db|-2-----2------------|-2-----2-------| | | Ab|-2-----2------------|-2-----2-------| | | Eb|-0-0-3-0--0---------|-0-0-3-0-0-----| | | If you play this you will realise it | | is the main riff in the song, just | | throw this in between parts, it's not | | hard to work out where it goes but it | | is all through the song ... | +===========================================+ eb|-------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-------0-----------------------------------------------| Db|---0-2---2p0----0-h2-------------0---0h2-0---0h2p0-----| Ab|-2-----------h2----------------2---2-------2-----------| Eb|-----------------------0-3-0-----------------------3-0-| I stand up next to a mountain ... eb|---------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-----0---------------------------------------------------| Gb|---0-----0h2-2-0-0h2p0-----------------------------------| Db|-2-----2---------------2-----------0---0h2-0---0h2p0-----| Ab|---------------------------------2---2-------2-----------| Eb|-------------------------0-3-0-----------------------3-0-| I stand up next to a mountain (second time) ... eb|---------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------| Gb|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| Db|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| Ab|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| Eb|---------------------------------| I pick up all the pieces and make an island ... eb|---------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------| Gb|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| Db|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| Ab|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| Eb|---------------------------------| Cos I'm a voodoo chile ... eb|-------------------------| Bb|-15b17-15b17r15-12-15b17-| Gb|-------------------------| Db|-------------------------| Ab|-------------------------| Eb|-------------------------| This is how the main solo starts... I'm not going to transcribe the whole thing but this will get you on track, it's an E minor pentatonic thing so work round that. Mainly the 1st pos at the 12th fret...
