Opening Chords:
The chords on Hendrix’s version of Watchtower are a C min, Bflat major, and Aflat major. The guitar is tuned down to E flat standard.
If you want to play it in standard tuning, the chords will be C# B and A.
In the video I play the C min with the thumb wrapped around the neck and grabbing the 8th fret of the low E string. The ring finger grabs the 10th fret of the D string and the index finger bars the 8th fret of the G B and E strings. The A string should be muted and not heard. The next chord uses the same voicing down two frets, just make it major by adding in the major third with your middle finger on the 7th fret of the G string. The last chord is this same voicing down another two frets.
