  Killing Floor - The Jimi Hendrix Version (Originally by Howlin' Wolf)

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Tabbed by Chris Hoolihan (hool@actrix.gen.nz, hoolih1c@wcc.govt.nz)

  

  Note - This is my first attempt at transcribing this awesome song... I posted

         messages on usenet requesting this song and when i received no replies

         i decided to try to work it out. This version is in A minor (which I

         think is the key Jimi played it in, if you want to play along with Jimi

         then you'll have to downtune half a step to Eb).

         I find this is a good type of song to jam with heaps of guitarists as

         there are always too many guitarists so you can use 3 with this...

         - one doing the lead riffs

         - one doing the 12 bar blues

         - one soloing

  

         Alternate so the poor guy doing the 12 bar blues doesn't fall asleep.

         I can't describe the timing but basically play it as fast as you can.

  Jimi alternates between playing the lead riffs and the 12 bar blues.

  12 bar blues in A minor which goes with the riffs - brackets show which riff

  this section goes with: in this case the chords are A, D and E.

  E-|-------------------------------------5-5-8-8---------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

  

  

  The order goes like this:

  

  Intro : Start off with some small solo then do riff 1

  (no 12 bar blues behind this riff, it's the turn around riff)

  

  :beginning

  riff 2

  riff 2

  riff 3

  riff 2

  riff 4

  goto beginning

  

  then repeat this pattern until you're sick of hearing it.
