It's definitely Amaj. And, while Jimi's version is sine qua non, let's

Manic isn't everything, I'd give the nod to Roy Buchanan.

Well, you can roll off the diminished and it sounds good. I usually
hammer-on from a 7th every other measure just to help keep count... or
if you wanna be funky hit the 9th every 4th measure and then do 4 in bar
chords...
