"I'm A Man" by Spencer Davis or Chicago is another one.

I’ve always played a straight m7 on I’m A Man. Been wrong once before though.
Taxman predated Purple Haze by a year or two. It is a clear use of 7#9 as a tonic, so it could have easily been called the George Chord if young people of the era had slightly more materialistic concerns and the song had become more popular. |

I'm no Beatles expert, Fred. But I've heard that McCartney also played guitar on the Beatles stuff. Maybe it's the Paul chord after all.

Haha! Quite possible. But lest we hijack the thread, I shall desist from responding further. |

I wonder if anybody ever told him it was the Hendrix chord? Anyway, here’s a video of Purple Haze where you can catch a glimpse of him playing it at about 1:00. He also played the first position version of the chord often as not.

Cool! Thanks for the vid!
I call the the first position of the chord the "Spooky" chord. |

| On E9th 10 string, I get this chord by lowering B's while stepping on B pedal and lowering string 9 to D. Gives you a strummable chord from string 9 up to string 3. This is two frets down from open position. |

No vertical knee lever here.
What is your 9th string tuned to, that you have to lower it to get to D?
Also...
Two frets down from the open position? Maybe I need to get some rest, but that does not compute. |

I'm sure Steve meant lower 9th string D to C#. At 10th fret that's B, the fifth of the E7#9 chord.

3___10B___ G, the #9
4___10____ D, the 7th
5___10X___ G#, the 3rd
6___10B___ G, the #9
7___10____ E, the root
8___10____ D, the 7th
9___10D___ B, the 5th

fwiw, I don't think I have ever purposely picked out the Jimi Hendrix Chord, on Steel, on a gig.
The note for note relationship is a good training-by-association method for new 6th-tuning PSG Players, who are already long time guitar players. Especially when you have the guitar around your neck and are sitting at the Steel and picking out the notes.
I mainly use P8 for traditional P8/Boo-Wha type stuff.
I have string-5 B-to-C connected to that pedal. I use that full strum 7th-chord ala Robert Randolph more than the Jimi chord. |
