Jimi Hendrix

Who Knows

"BAND OF GYPSYS"
Who Knows

! This is a cool tune from Jimi Hendrix - When they played
! New Year's Eve (69-70) at Fillmore East in New York. This album
! had been out of print for ages, but all of a sudden, BOOM! It was
! remastered. So you can probably find it now. This is the opening tune,
! WHO KNOWS.

! Tune Down 1/2 Step (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
! These are just bits, from memory, so don't pillage and burn
! me if this is wrong:
! Main/Opening Riff
[ ~~ ~~~
E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------10-----------------------------
D-12-12-12-10-12-10----------------------------------------------
A-------------------12-11-10-(10)--------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------]
! Eventually, after the band kicks in, the whole riff is played
! down an octave lower, like this:
[ ~~~~~ ~
E-----------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------3-------------------------------------------
A-5-5-5-3---------------------------------------------------------
E---------5-4-3(3)(3)---------------------------------------------]
! This is a really cool lick, becuase there are MANY variations you can
! make on it! Listen to all the variations hendrix made.
! The solo is in Db (10th fret) on the minor petonic scale. Tabbing it out would
! be rather pointless, its a great solo, but its just not a good solo to copy.
! Listen and make an improv on it. This can be a great excercise for your
! lead skills. Listen to the story jimi tells with the solo, and then try
! to tell your own story with it. At first, its just plain guitar, then
! guitar with WAh, and after the vocal cameo, is that guitar wah and octavia?
! I think it's guitar wah and octavia. Then there is also some cool harmonic
! stuff. I'm not sure how hendrix did it, but you can do it with tapped picked
! harmonics. (Hold your finger one octave above note, and pick with free fingers.)
! Here's a few lyrics:
! 1= vocal one (Jimi)
! 2= vocal two (Buddy Miles?)
1: They Don't know
2: They Don't know
1: Like I know
2: Like I know
1: Do you Know?
2: They Don't know
1: I don't know
2: I don't know
1: Well my baby's
2: Well my baby's
1: Puttin Down(?) <------ I don't know if this is right
2: Puttin Down(?) <------ Puttin out??
1: Well my baby
2: Well my baby
1: Puttin Down things
2: Puttin down now
1: Just came back from
2: I don't know
! Anyway, this will get you star
