Hi there, I am glad that you are enjoying the tutorials!

I believe the discrepency is because I played the rhythm a little different in the performance than durring the breakdown of verse 1. This kind of song can be challenging to teach, because it involves a fir amount of variation and and losseness in the rhythm playing. I would also say that this is part of Jimi's style. I understand that it can make it tricky to learn when the notation doesn't match exactly. I suggest not taking the rhythm too literally, rathe, learn the chords and basic rhythm patterns and start to play it with a degre of lossenes!

I hope this helps, Tom :)
