Members second Posted November 8, 2002 Members Share Posted November 8, 2002 Does anyone else out there have theHendrix recorded version book for the are you experienced disk. Published by Hal Leonard The book is transcribed by Andy Aledort and I am using it to learn the wind cries mary. The problem I am having is when I play along with the song the notes and chords i am using out of the book sound like they are a fret to low. For instance the intro to the song....if I slide up a fret on the chords it sounds much closer than its written in the book. I bought this book about ten years ago so maybe it was just a mistake in the book...but I was curious if anyone could shed any light on it for me thanks!

Members ralphster007 Posted November 8, 2002 Members Share Posted November 8, 2002 Well, I have no idea whether there's an error with the book or not, but Hendrix usually tuned his guitars down half a step (Eb). If you're playing along with the recording, you should do likewise. Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ralphster007 Posted November 8, 2002 Members Share Posted November 8, 2002 Then go back to standard tuning, and you should be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
