About Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

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. .

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Lyrics

[01:04.58] Well, I stand up next to a mountain
[01:08.47] And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
[01:13.41]
[01:20.97] Well, I stand up next to a mountain
[01:24.87] I chop it down with the edge of my hand
[01:29.30]
[01:31.86] Well, I pick up all pieces and make an island
[01:35.92] Might even raise a little sand
[01:40.51] Yeah
[01:42.85] 'Cause I'm a voodoo child
[01:47.54] Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
[01:52.06]
[02:38.78] I wanna say one more last thing
[02:48.15] I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
[02:52.29] I'll give it right back to ya one of this days
[02:55.42] Ha-ha
[03:00.78]
[03:04.28] I said, I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
[03:09.13] I'll give it right back one of these days
[03:13.28] Oh, yeah
[03:16.05] If I don't meet you no more in this world
[03:18.83] Then I, I'll meet ya on the next one
[03:21.27] And don't be late, don't be late
[03:26.97] 'Cause I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child
[03:31.45] Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
[03:35.26] Hey-hey-hey
[03:42.56] I'm voodoo child, baby
[03:45.79]
[03:48.05] I don't take no for an answer
[03:52.46] Question? No
[03:54.12]
