You can't just play the chords on their own. It may sound good but it doesn't work. Try playing variations of the following two rhythm sequences. For full effect, I play a mix of both: ---------------- Variation 1: (x8) For the sixth bar, sometimes Hendrix just carrys on with the previous bar. But only occasionally. e|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------| B|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------| G|----------------|--4-------------|----------------|--6------------| D|--5----------5--|--5-------------|--7----------7--|--7------------| A|--3-----5/7-----|--5----------5--|--5-----7/9-----|--7----------7-| E|----------------|--3-----5/7-----|----------------|--5-----7/9----| . e|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------| B|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------| D|--9-----9----9--|--------5-------|------FILL1-----|------FILL2----| A|--7-----7----7--|----5-----7-----|----------------|---------------| E|----------------|--7---7---------|----------------|---------------| Do what sounds right to you in the "FILL" bars.

I think that this one is especially good. The rhythm is played in the background. e|--12----------12---------------------------------------------------| B|--15[17]---------[17][15]-12-------------12------------------------| G|-----------------------------14[16]---------[16][14]--12-----------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--12----------12---------------------------------------------------| B|--15[17]---------[17][15]-12-------------12------------------------| G|-----------------------------14[16]---------[16][14]--12-14-12-----| D|---------------------------------------------------------------14\-| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| . e|-----------------------------------------------12----------12------| B|--12----12\---------------------12-12----------15[17]------15[17]--| G|--12----12\---------------------12-12------------------------------| D|-----14-------------------12-14-------14\--------------------------| A|----------------------/14------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--12--12--12-------------------------------------------| B|--12--15--12-----------12-15-12------------------------| G|-------------14[16]---------------14--------14-12\-----| D|-------------------------------------12-14-------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------12-15[17]------12--------------12--------------------| B|-----------12-----------------------------15----15-----------------| G|-14[16]-------------------------14[16]-------------[16][14]-12-----| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------| B|-----------------------12-------------| G|-----------------------12-------------| D|---14\-----------12-14-------14\------| A|-------------/14----------------------| E|--------------------------------------| ********************************************** BRIDGE: This is the final part in the song. It comes straight after the solo. But it is also played once or twice more. It's a great little finger exercise as well. . e|-----------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------9------9------9----| A|--3---------2-3-4-5---------4-5-6-7------7------7----| E|----0-1-2-3---------2-3-4-5--------------------------| ********************************************** THE END.
