Ah right, no tab, :lol:
This is roughly what Jimi’s doing for Voodoo Child - the riff is based around an E major chord, though with liberal use of E minor tones and a ton of just aggressive raking.
|-----0--------0------------0----------0----3-3-----|
|-----0--------0------------0----------0----3-3-----|
|-1---1--------1-2b4rp0-----1----------1------------|
|-2--------2------------2---x-----0h2---------------|
|-2-------------------------x-----------------------|
|-0-----3b--------------------3b-----------------b3-|
Catfish Blues, at least per his version on the Jimi: Blues album, goes something like this:
|--------------0---------------x--------|
|--------------0---------------x--------|
|----------------2br4r2p0------x---x----|
|-----tr(0h2)-------------2----x---x----|
|----------------------------------x----|
|-3b-------------------------------x----|
And the Muddy Waters version starts off with one of those bends, but settles into a version of this, with the chords heavily muted:
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|-1---1---1---2b4r2p0---1---1---1------------|
|-2---2---2----------2--2---2---2---------2--|
|-2---2---2-------------2---2---2------------|
|-0---0---0-------------0---0---0---0-3b-----|
This is one of those riffs where it’s as much about the feel as the notes, but it’s pretty cool.
