Correction:  I just realized after watching another video that I have the tuning wrong.  There are so many videos of this already, I should have watched a few.  I was not going to post this because I played it too slow but I will be out for a week so here it is.  I was trying to duplicate the sharp, chimey pick attack Hendrix uses in this song.  He had so many different techniques to get so many tones from his Strat.  I will have to redo it with the correct tuning.  I tuned down to below D to do this.  I threw in the Vibe Baby at the end because it helped with the chime a little.  I will record it agin in a week at the correct speed and tuning.  I just learned this intro.  I have not gone into the body of the song yet.  Have a great week and please subscribe if you have not already.  Hasta pronto!
