I believe I now understand why Jimi Hendrix had a tendency to tune his guitar one step down.
It was because many of his most significant effect songs were in the key of E and he would use
the low E note as a drone note not unlike the way drone notes are used in Indian music.

If he kept his guitar in standard tuning it would be too easy for other guitarists to copy his style.
By tuning his guitar one-step lower and playing a right-handed guitar left-handed
he created an air of impossibility that contributed to him doing the miraculous on guitar

When I think of it, Jimi Hendrix was the King of the 1970's Rock Gods!
He played guitar in a way that was so unique you almost felt Jimi was from some other planet;
as though he wasn't fully human

I'm working on Voodoo Child Slight return in the key of E instead of Eb.
I'm also playing it WITHOUT my Vox Wah Wah pedal.
Mine is, like, over 40 years old. I wonder if it even works.
I don't intend to find out.
Sorry, but I don't want to be messing with any pedals, thank you very much!
