Notes
Studio recording, late 1960s. No direct evidence for 'Jungle' session, but Hendrix's standard studio rig for this era was Stratocaster into Marshall Super Lead, often with Fuzz Face. No evidence of live-specific gear or alternate guitars for this riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated rhythm, need for dynamic picking, and precise muting to capture the percussive Hendrix style.
