[N] Hi, my name is Emerson Swinford and I'm sitting here with Jimi Hendrix and today we're going
to break down his feedback drenched intro to Foxy Lady.
_ It's going to be quite loud so I've asked my assistants to please leave the room to
protect their hearing and I'm using this Germino Classic 45, _ _ an old 69 Stratocaster and a Jim
Dunlop Jimi Hendrix fuzz bass.
_ So let's get started. _
_ Okay here we go.
So the intro of the song has two components.
One he's got his finger up here on the 16th fret of the D string and he's shaking the
heck out of that F [Bb] sharp.
_ And as he's doing that he's turning up his volume.
_ _ [F] Something [Ab] like that.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And simultaneously _ he's leaving the A string open so it's going to feed back _ and overtake
that shaking F sharp if you do it just right.
And you've got to sort of move around until you find the sweet spot because you might
get a wrong feedback from that A.
_ That's about the note you want.
[Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ But that would be the note you don't [Abm] want.
So you want this basically this [Ab] high. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's the perfect note. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] Because when you get that you're going to let that feed back for a second and then _ boom
_ [F] into the riff.
_ [Ab] _ _ So let's give it a shot. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
