Voodoo Child
Jimi Hendrix Lyrics
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand, yeah
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
Want to say one more last thing
I didn't mean to take - up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
I said, I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back one of these days, yeah
And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one
Now don't be late, don't be late
'Cause I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, hey, hey, hey
I'm a voodoo child, baby
I don't take no for an answer
Just want you to know

Jimi Hendrix was very interested in using distortion and effects to produce a psychedlic, or mind altering effect from his guitar playing. This song was recorded "live in the studio" with later studio effects (panning guitar from left to right) added for texture. Several aspects of Jimi's playing are showcased here, his ease of improvisation, call and response guitar lines, pickup switching, whammy bar dives, wah-wah pedal use, minor pentatonic screams and squacks.

Hendrix was a master of sounding like a "guitar army" while being a single person playing.

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand
Yeah

It still amazes me that someone was rocking THIS hard in the 60s.

Hard to believe that Hendrix opened for the Monkees. The Monkees fans must of freaked out.

All you have to do is listen to guitarist before and after Jimi to see how much of an influence he was.
