A friend of mine told me this was the way to go as far as playing
the intro and solo to "Red House."
I'm afraid I've forgotten the latter part of the solo (the good part),
and
the problem of figuring out how to play Hendrix wail 'n distort is
more than
my equal.
Anyway, what do ya want fer nothin'?
My notation is:
/
a slide
~
wiggle yer fingers
h
hammer on
p
pull off
'
bend
-
buy SubG (that's me) lots of beer

..then Mr. Hendrix commences to sing whilst he's playing lead, which
is
more than I can say for myself.
The lyrics are:
There's a red house over
yonder.
That's where my baby stays.
Lord, there's a red house
over yonder,
Lord, that's where my baby
stays.
I ain't been home to see
my baby
In ninety-nine and one half
days.
Wait a minute, something's
wrong here,
The key won't unlock this
door.
Wait a minute, something's
wrong,
Lord have mercy, this key
won't unlock this door.
Something's gone wrong here--
I have a bad, bad feeling
That my baby don't live
here no more.
That's alright--I still got
my guitar.
Look out, now!

At the ..., Hendrix repeats the 10p7, 7 lick a bunch of times, then
does a bit or two that I've got no idea how to play, then sings:
Well, I might as well go
back over yonder
Way back among the hills.
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna
do.
Lord, I might as well go
back over yonder
Way back yonder acorss the
hills.
Even if my baby don't l_v_
me no more,
I know her sister will.
Now play a little blues "see ya" riff, and then play something else.
Titties and
Beer forever,
Yours etc.,
