Genre: folk, rock, blues
heither keyboard or rhythm with an organ pedal. I use an organ pedal and it
works well. At the end of each solo, the lead guitar stops, leaving space for
the vocalist at the beginning of each verse. The lead then picks up on the C#
at the end of the first line of the verse. The dashes between words indicate
that the lyrics are sung quickly. This is definitely faster-paced than
Hendrix's version and the bass really gallops on this one.
In the last three lines the first C# is struck twice.]
