My thoughts exactly! Very nice -- to state it in an understated manner. |

This guy, when diddling around, had more going on than others get out of a freaking symphony orchestra; love it forever for its raw unabashed shine!

His gift was an ability to expand the learned vocabulary into his own voice, and what a voice it was. No one played rock'n'roll quite like him before, and not too many have after. He almost singlehandedly turned the Fender Stratocaster into the guitar hero's weapon of choice. Very well said, Wonder! Thanks for posting such wise words! |

if someone ever asks you why you think JH was so great, play them this.

But those weren't "hippie trippy cliches" when he first played them. Context, in lots of art, is very important. |

Favorite Hendrix piece, hands-down. Trying to think of something clever and meaningful to say and but I've got nothing that does this song and Jimi's guitar justice.

Technically, one wouldn't shred chords. They shred notes - it would sound too mushy to shred chords. |

Few people ever play their instrument with this kind of inspirational fervor, and few indeed can play a guitar like the way Trane blew his sax...RIFFIN', baby; feelin' it, inside and out. That sort of thing blows technical perfection away any day, and we are all richer for hearing it...Thanks for playing this!

Wow, I haven't heard this since I was teenager and used to listen to Jimi religiously.
Great reach-back and find. One of the reasons RP is miles above other stations. Keep up the good work.

Wow! Along with "Red House" yesterday, another Jimi Hendrix song I have never heard before.
And I must retort to the naysayers - even mediocre Hendrix, like this is, is still at least an 8!
