The start and main riff of Voodoo Chile are extremely easy to learn without tabs.. the solo.. well that's fairly straight forward too.. E minor pentatonic is what you are looking for when it comes to the scale. Not sure about Castles Made of Sand.. but yeh.. just google it like elklander suggested.. or you could try and see if Power Tabs has them..

Oh yes.. one thing I forgot to mention is that Jimi likes to use lowered tunings.. so you'll probably find that those two songs have the guitar tuned either half a step or a whole step down.

Well... if you're lucky then that might work out, but... last time I went to try and learn part of the Band Of Gypsys album, and he was like 1/4 step down and even then, it wasn't perfectly in tune. So just be careful and don't get discouraged if you try and play along. Especially on live stuff, I think they would just play and tune to each other, so part of the way through the show, they could be in a whole key of semitones. :rolleyes:

While we're on the subject of Hendrix.. I'd like to point out that IK Multimedia have released a separate version of Amplitube 2.0 (VST plugin and standalone Live are both included) that is dedicated to Jimi Hendrix tones, in fact they partnered up with "Authentic Hendrix" to ensure that it was as close to the original sounds as possible. If you get a chance to try it out, you will be absolutely staggered by the way it sounds just like Hendrix even from the very first note you play through it. It's an amazing package but is kinda pricey at $249 / €199. Then again, if you are looking for EXACTLY that sound.. then this might be the thing for you. Here's a snippet of the features from the web page (http://www.amplitube.com/Main.html?prod_ATJH.php):
• 5 separate modules: tuner, configurable stomp pedal board, amp head, cabinet + mic and rack effects
• 4 Amp models
• 7 Cabinet models
• 5 Microphone models
• 9 Stomp Effect models
• 4 Rack Effect models
• High-precision Tuner
• 2 Guitar rig chains
• Jimi Hendrix song presets immediately recall the entire rig used
• Plug-In and Standalone version
A couple of cool things to note. If you want a particular sound of a particular song, then chances are you will find it inside. For example, for many of the songs there will be 3 pre-sets. One for the Intro, one for the Rhythm and one for the Solo parts. Again, that's 2 or 3 pre-sets per song.. and with 40+ songs setup in the presets.. that's well over 120 pre-sets to choose from without even delving any deeper into the software.
The other thing that is cool is for people who already have Amplitube 2.0. Instead of there just being one signal path that runs through all components, one at a time.. In the Jimi Hendrix version there are 2 of everything. So there's 2 stomp-box "boxes" to drop up to 6 stomp-boxes in each (not sure why you'd want to.. but you can).. 2 Amps, 2 Cabinets, and 2 sets of Racks.
The signal path through the components can be set 8 different ways.. For example, the first might have everything running in series. It will run through Stomp-box group A, then through stomp-box B, then through Amp #1, then through Amp #2, then through Cab #1, and so on.. Or.. you can run them all in parallel.. so the digital signal is split into 2 channels (with the same audio information in both channels.. initially) and that passes through both Stomp-box groups at the same time, then the separate signals pass through both amps at the same.. however at this point the signals may be different to each other do to the modulation that potentially occurred while passing through the stomp-box groups.
Let's say Signal A had distortion, and Signal B had chorus effects applied. Signal A goes through Amp A, then Cab A, then Rack A.. but signal B follows through the other components. Or.. on another setting you may have the signal split before the stomp-box groups and re-join again before the Amps and only go through Amp A, leaving Amp B out of the signal path completely.
All this, and the rest of the features, make the Jimi Hendrix version of Amplitube extremely versatile within the context of the software. You're not going to find any modern day pedals or effects in there... but it's amazing how modern you can make your tone sound with a few modifications of settings.
Anyway.. worth a look for Hendrix fanatics..
