Jimi Hendrix - Voodo Child guitar tab
tabs-database.com[http://www.tabs-database.com.com/]
Jimi used a wah wah pedal and a whammy bar i use both also but if you use a wah wah pedal with some distortion that
sounds a bit better. Jimi can play this song incredibly good he is a master and i can play it the same way he can.
email me if u got any questions or want to hear me paly on msn. webmaster at tabs-database.com.com
