Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary

okay , party – people , this version of “mary” will be the truest and simplest one to
emulate and/or improvise off if your playing along with it .

backing track :

tune your guitar half a step down
like jimi and alot of other great guitarrist do ,
srv for instance , and play in the key of F# ,
not like the faulty wikipedia entry says that the song is in the key of F major , this is
wrong , it is in the a fingered key of F#
thus in the key of G major . . . idiot – o – pedia . .

intro : E F F#

verse : C# B

F#

bridge and chorus : G# B

E F F#

the solo is played in the scale of D# minor pentatonic .
i dont mind playing the fifths or blue notes of this scale along with the song as in the
verse jimi at times play :

C# C B

F#

enjoy!
