After about 20 takes I gave up and decided to post this anyway.  The notes are there.  I just wanted you to see what we will work on when I go through all of the Jimi'ism in the next video.  This is on the "Hear My Music" CD from the Hendrix collection.  It is a very simple, short song but it shows a lot about how Jimi thought when he wrote songs.  He never plays the same notes twice and he also subtly changes the rhythm which can throw you off if you don't catch it.  That is how he makes it into a work of art when using just simple minor and major pentatonic scales, and simple chords.  It's amazing what he did with those two scales.  He also uses a lot of relative minor and major chords for example the relative minor of E major would be C# minor (down 1-1/2 steps from E) or the 6th note of the E major scale.
