DISCLAIMER: This was taken from the sheet music book: "Jimi Hendrix Anthology", and does not contain solos of any kind...the best thing to do is find a version with solos, take some from various tab sites on the net(remember to convert them to the key of E Major), or listen and like Jimi...IMPROVISE!!!
