Editorial Review:
This book cuts through the mystique, the unknown side of Jimi Hendrix, which brings his musical roots into clear focus. With a direct note-for-note analysis of Jimi's finest studio work, Richard Daniels has captured his immortal music on paper and has made it available to many who otherwise would miss out. Includes an introduction, a bio of Jimi, many playing notes, and 12 transcriptions, including: Foxy Lady * Hey Joe * Little Wing * All Along The Watchtower * more.
Jimi Hendrix-note-for-note Reviews:
A charming early rock tablature book 
2007-10-15 - This is one of the earliest tablature books that came to market in the early 80's. (1980 to be specific) A lot of tablature oriented guitar magazines came about soon after these books were introduced and the heavy metal boom happened in the 80's. Richard Daniel's illustrations are superb and lovingly crafted from existing photos. His introduction and biography are excellent too, including a small discography of the early albums and a short synopsis of the transcription process in the pre-digital era. His advice on scale fundamentals is good and the use of the relative scales are instructive. However, the transcriptions are not always accurate and there are some mistakes. If you wan't faithful transcriptions of Hendrix, seek out anything by Andy Aledort. If you want a lovingly crafted piece of Hendrix emphemera from an earlier age, this is that book. (I still have my copy 27 years later) Daniel's is also the author of the Guitar Bible, quite a good book that has held up well and is - again - wonderfully illustrated.
interesting early Hendrix transcriptions
1999-02-26 - This book collects a handful of Hendrix tablatures, with fairly detailed commentary. Some of the transcriptions are a bit off (awkward fingerings, etc.), but the book is interesting as one of the first "note for note" tab rock lead guitar books.
