this song is in the tunning of Eb or dropped 1/2 step and if you think you can reproduce
entire song perfectly with these incredible sounds he prduced, you better break your
over your head. This song can not be perfectly reproduced and can't be played without a 
fender stratocaster guitar like Jimi's.

unfortunatly this site sometimes will mess up parts of the tab, and i can't help 
that, so areea where the whammy dives are, are on the next line, sorry :(
Tunning: half a step-Eb

legend:
/= slide up to
\=alide down to
h=hammer on
p=pull off
b=bend(the pitch of the bend is above the staff)
~=vibrato

fdbk=feedback(pitch is next to it)
tr=trill on as fast as you can
X=muted note strummed
x=rake
