# Artist Jimi Hendrix Track Up From the Skies Album Axis Bold As Love Guitar is tuned down half a tone ie E=Eb A=Ab D=Db ect Yep, get your wah wah pedal out, spark up and let it flow! This is a really atypical Hendrix tune, but is one of my favourites. And it's quite simple too!

Generally speaking Jimi rocks his pedal at a constant pace, like you would if you were tapping your foot with the music. The actual rhythm ebbs and flows and changes in a real jazzy way, so you'll need to listen the track. The chord change from B9 to C9 (and likewise from C#9 to D9) in particular changes in form and timing and is sometimes even omitted. So basically as with all tunes by improvisationally inspired artists best just to do your own thing!
