  This muted wah riff can't be transcribed. I do it with a lot of palm
  muting with slight distortion while muting an e chord on the A string.
  The same goes for the bits marked x x x in the rest of the intro ...

|   is the main riff in the song, just  |
|   throw this in between parts, it's not |
|   hard to work out where it goes but it |

  This is how the main solo starts... I'm not going to transcribe the
  whole thing but this will get you on track, it's an E minor
  pentatonic thing so work round that. Mainly the 1st pos at the 12th
  fret...

When i first started (about a year ago) this was the song i most wanted
to learn but was unable to find. Hope it works ok for you.

PS: Mail me if you wanna talk/trade hendrix info/tab/anything at all.

  JIMI HENDRIX
  Voodoo Chile - slight return (few parts)

Only an attempt! Don't expect too much.
When you get the basic feel you can
improvise, and it can sound close to Jimi.

Notation:
 h - hammer on
 p - pull off
 b - bend
 bd - bend down
