Foxy Lady

Jimi Hendrix
Tab
4.7(75)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro

Basically Jimi plays the first note with heaps of vibrato. He starts

off with the volume control of his guitar turned right down, strikes the note

and then brings the volume control up, so that the note rises to a scream.

vibrato F#7(#9) - I think - or otherwise its F#m7

The second verse is played much the same as the first, but with different

embilishments is the chords - Hendrix seemed able to invent them on the spot.
