== Voicings ==
The “Hendrix chord” as it is usually discussed by rock musicians is not just an octave-equivalent set of intervals, but rather a specific voicing of the chord. For a musician like Hendrix playing with high gain and distortion, the specific voicing matters a lot in how we hear the chord. I'm going to try to fix the page to talk about the Hendrix chord per se rather than a generically voiced dom7#9no5.
Moreover, since many guitarists describe chords in terms of meantone, I think it's useful to present a 5-limit voicing in addition to the current 19- and 7-limit ones, and to present the different tunings more neutrally (rather than to describe the 7-limit as merely “an alternate”).

== Color notation ==
I think the use of color notation in this article is doing more to distract here than it is to clarify, and I don't want to figure out the color notation for the 5-limit chord (see above), so I'm going to remove that part to focus the page on the chord itself rather than its notation in an esoteric system.
