This muted wah riff can't be transcribed. I do it with a lot of palm
muting with slight distortion while muting an e chord on the A string.
The same goes for the bits marked x x x in the rest of the intro ...

This is how the main solo starts... I'm not going to transcribe the
whole thing but this will get you on track, it's an E minor
pentatonic thing so work round that. Mainly the 1st pos at the 12th
fret...

When i first started (about a year ago) this was the song i most wanted
to learn but was unable to find. Hope it works ok for you.

Only an attempt! Don't expect too much.
When you get the basic feel you can
improvise, and it can sound close to Jimi.
