Chords for voodoo chile Donn's version tutorial

_ Voodoo Child, Don's version.
I've got a lot of requests on the song to provide some tab
for it, but instead of doing that I'm going to give a really quick and easy video tutorial
[B] because tabbing it out is a pain in the ass, [E] actually.
So here it is.
Song is in E.
I am tuned to 440.
_ _ _ And [C] off we [A] go.
[E] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] Sixth string, third fret, bending up.
_ _ [E] _
Fourth string, second fret.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ And do a couple of hammer-on [F#] here, fifth and fourth [A] strings on second [Bm] fret.
_ [E] _
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ [Em] _
_ [A] _ [Bm] _ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _
[Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ [E] _ [C] That's the trickiest part of the song.
If you learn that I think you pretty much got
it made.
_ [F#] _
Getting on to the _ singing.
I accompany it here with scale.
[D] _ [Em] _ [E] _
_ _ _ [G] [E] Go [Bm] _ [E] _ [N] _
back to that very same riff here.
[Em] _ _ [D] _ [E] _
_ [C] _ [E] _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [E] _ _ [C] Two different ways to play the next lines.
You can [F#] either, [F] the way I do it, you can either [G] bar a G [A] and then an A.
[G] Pick up all them [A] pieces, make an island, [Em] maybe even raise some [A] sand.
[Em] _
_ _ [D] _ [C] Pick up all them pieces, [Bm]
make an [D] island, [Em] maybe even raise some sand.
So the first time I [G] went to a bar [A] G and an A.
[C] The second time I did it, I went to a C7
and then moved that C7 up [D] two frets.
_ _ [G] _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C] Pick up all them pieces, [D] make an island, maybe [Em] even raise some [Em] sand.
_ [D] Then do the same [C] thing.
Cause I'm a blue child, C7.
_ [D] _ _ Lord [Em] knows I'm a [Bm] blue child.
[Em] _ [Bm] I'll probably [E] bring it down for a [Em] break. _ _
_ [F#] With a little bit of muting here [E] on the bridge. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [E] _ [G] _ [E] _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ [E] _ [E] _ _ _
Didn't [E] mean to [D] waste my all your [E] sweet time.
Play it the same thing.
[Bm]
One [Em] of these days.
[A] _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _
[Em] Didn't mean to [Bm] waste my all your [E] sweet time.
[A] Give [Bm] it all back one [E] of those days.
_ [D] _ [E] _ [A] _ [D] _
[C] Won't see me again in this world, [D] baby.
Oh, maybe the next one.
[E] Don't be [Em] brave.
[Am] _ [Bm] _ [E] _ [E] _ [Bm] Cause [C] I'm a blue child, blue child.
[D] _ _ [F#] _ [N] Now that's one way of doing it.
What I'd like to do now actually is, I switched to a different kind of blues on the second line of the second verse.
So it sounds something like this.
[E] Didn't mean to waste [Bm] all your [E] sweet time.
[A] Give [Bm] it right back one [Em] of those days.
_ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ [A] Didn't mean to waste all your sweet time.
Give it right back [E] one of those days.
[Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [C] Won't see me again in this [D] world, baby.
Oh, maybe the next one.
[E] Don't be late.
[Bm] _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ [C] _ _ _
[D] G7.
Slide it up.
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ [E] _
[E] _ [B] _ There, that explains the mechanics of the song.
I hope I didn't [G#] confuse things too much and make it too [E] disjointed for you not to understand.
_ _ [F#] But I think that all people really need to know is _ _ _ _ to play it the way I play it.
It's that reoccurring rhythm that happens, [B] it's repeated through [E] much of the song.
_ [D] _ _ [E] _ [E] _ [Bm] _
_ [E] [N] You learn that and I think you've got it made. _
_ After you get the very [A] basic [Cm]
rhythm down, then you can add all kinds of [D] things like [E] hammer-ons.
A little bit of vibrato [C] and [E] _ [F#] [G#] muting, a little bit of slapping [E] the body a little [G] bit.
[Em] _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ [E] _ [E] _
[A] _ [Bm] _ [F#] _ [G] _ [N] Like that.
Anyhow, I hope that helps.
_ I'd really be interested to see what you've done with it.
So good luck.
I hope you get a really excellent version happening.
Maybe it'll lead you into creating something new and better.
And if you were to post it, I'd sure love to see it.
Alright, good luck. _ _
