                     from the album 'electric ladyland' 
                           tabbed by Cotney Paul 

(paul_rad@hotmail.com) 
ive seen alot of tabs for this classic on the net and none of them are 
done properly, so i dicided to post the proper tab for Voodoo Child, 
now this might seem difficult at first but trust me this is how it goes, 
hope u enjoy it. 

tab explanation: 
()=ghost note 
hb=half bend 
fb=full bend 
/\=slide 
h=hammer on 
p=pull off
