Jimi Thing....

Unread post by sbhanot » Mon May 05, 2003 10:57 am

Hey guys,
I'm having a bit of trouble with the Jimi Thing chorus, I guess I just can't really get it - what do you all play for the chorus, it sounds kind of empty the way i play it, I was wondering how to make it a bit more intense, i guess..... let me know if you have any ideas.... Thanks!

The part with "Sometimes, a jimi thing........" etc. not the part with the "I'd like to show you what's inside" or whatever....

That's kinda how I play it. Probably not exactly right but I think it sounds good.

That's pretty close to how I play it too. I don't think it's that difficult, but it took me forever to be able to sing [well] over it...
