Notes
Live performance, April 21, 1969, not the studio version. Hendrix used an Acoustic amp instead of his usual Marshall. No evidence of Uni-Vibe or Octavia for this song/section; Fuzz Face likely present. No evidence of delay or reverb pedals; amp had no built-in reverb.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, syncopated picking with precise control over fuzz dynamics and articulation, making it challenging for intermediate players.
