Castles Made of Sand by Jimi Hendrix
====================================
Tabbed by Bucky LaDieu Thanks Mike Kirby!
This is how I remember Noel Redding (the Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist)
played Castles Made of Sand, but my memory is probably corrupted from
hearing so many other bands cover this fantastic song.
Repeat this twice for each verse and rest during the chorus.
During the guitar solo imporv the last two measures repeatedly.
In the last verse stop playing at "And it really didn't have to stop..."

Remember Jimi wrote this. Don't use you brain to play it, let your feelings
guide your fingers.

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is often considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music by other musicians and commentators in the industry, and one of the most important and influential musicians of his era across a range of genres. After initial success in Europe, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Hendrix often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback. Hendrix was one of the musicians who popularized the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock which he often used to deliver an exaggerated pitch in his solos, particularly with high bends and use of legato. He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King, and Elmore James, rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, as well as by funk and some modern jazz. In 1966, Hendrix, who played and recorded with Little Richard's band from 1964 to 1965, said, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice."
