Alright that's about it...here are a few tips:
1. This is almost just as easy to play in standard tuning if you just play it a half
step down, you just got leave out some of the open E hits that Jimi does.
2. This may seem obvious, but make sure you have the recording ready while learning,
it's a hard one to get down
3. Hendrix does the hammer ons and pull offs at all different speeds; you'll have to
listen to figure it out. Sorry there's just no way for me to show that in the tab
4. Some of the multiple-string slides look daunting, but they're really not that bad.
If you've ever learned the intro to little wing or castles made of sand, he uses the same
technique in those.
Have you ever been?
Have you ever been, to Electric Ladyland?
The magic carpet waits for you
So don't you be late
Oh
I want to show you
Different emotions
I want to learn you
The sounds and motions
Electric women waits for you and me
So it's time we take a ride
We can cast all of your hang-ups over the seaside
While we fly right over the love filled sea
Look up ahead, I see the loveland, soon you'll understand
Make love, make love, make love, make love
The angels will spread their wings, spread their wings
(I wanna show you)
Good and evil lay side by side while electric love penetrates the sky
(I wanna show you)
Lord, Lord I wanna show you
(I wanna show you)
Hmm, hmmm, hmmm
(I wanna show you)
Show you
(I wanna show you)
