The F#7#9 chord, for those who might not know... would be played at the
ninth fret... fifth thru second strings... spells out the notes F# A# E A
(for those who know "Purple Haze," it's the main chord up 2 frets)...
anyway... those F#7#9 stabs add alot to the song, especially with page's
sweet sounding hammond...
