    I think Joe Satriani said it best of this song: "It's just the greatest piece of electric guitar work ever recorded. In fact, the whole song could be considered the holy grail of guitar expression and technique. It is a beacon of humanity."

    Yes, imagine hearing this in 1968, 54 years ago now. Saw Jimi live in March 1968 at 16 years old. Even as a young punk-ass kid I can distinctly remember at that VERY moment I was witnessing history - something special. Strange how that can work -- almost like a glimpse into the future. Someone who was so creative that I would most likely never see anyone like him again. Would imagine others felt the same way seeing him Live. Good day to All !

      Listen, God told the Jews what they needed to do, and this helps us to understand the expression “uncircumcised in heart.” He told them to take the badness out of their heart. Why? He explained: “That my rage may not go forth . . . on account of the badness of your dealings.” They were disobeying Jehovah because their heart was bad. (Read Mark 7:20-23.) They were rebellious, and they refused to change. Their heart, which included their motives and their thinking, was bad in Jehovah’s eyes. (Read Jeremiah 5:23, 24; 7:24-26.) God told them how to change this by saying: “Get yourselves circumcised to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your hearts.”-Jeremiah 4:4; 18:11

    Back then, people were just getting over the Beatles, The Beach Boys and doo-whop music then along comes a colorfully dressed, long haired black man who played the guitar left-handed and made sounds with it that no one ever heard before nor thought it possible to have a guitar make such sound. It was no longer about the vocals anymore and it was now about the guitar and what it was capable of. Hendrix set the high water mark, still unreached as of this day.

      Jimi was a virtuoso before the term became commonplace in contemporary music. If I recall correctly in the notes from “Experience Hendrix: The Best Of Jimi Hendrix” he basically improvised a one-take solo in studio on Manic Depression and then went back and doubled the solo. You can hear very subtle differences in the track. Even BB King in an interview just taking about blues with another guitarist, after about 5 seconds told him, “don’t ask me what I just played”.
      Jimi went in there and basically doubled an improvised solo on the spot

The friend I went with was bummed because he never removed his bowler hat the entire show and she wanted to see his wild hair. He was one-of-a-kind, a complete outlier and changed people’s perception of what sounds could be created on a guitar. He was a master. I kept a poster of him on my bedroom wall all through high school. Jimi Hendrix and also a Cream poster. Some amazing music was made during those years and with a lasting impact.

      Yeah, I saw Jimi and the Experience in Oct. 1968 at Winterland in San Francisco. With friends, we would drive around the City passing joints and blasting Electric Ladyland (a revelation) on 8 track tape. Also, saw Cream on two consecutive weekends in March ‘68, also at Winterland. Memorable times to say the least.

    Ngl I thought people were just hyping him up but I listened to this on a whim and I'm hooked. Like something about the starts pulls me in immediately then the playing throughout is just something else entirely.

      Agreed, Jimi was a true genius! Shame he died so young, he would've written some more magic if he'd lived a little longer(not too much tho coz he was a real rocker)

    Jimi is still a force. His guitar, his music is more powerful than any medicine known to man. It heals your soul, storms your feelings and imagination, gets you back together as a whole when you are down. It transcends time and space. It is a mystic experience in these days of artificial, synthetic living we call life. We have to leave the cages, destroy the chains and be real humans, not humanoids. You must not only hear Jimi's music, you must listen to it...carefully

    When I saw Jimi play this he played it behind his back, up against the amps, with the mike stand and the hardest parts with his teeth. He had to be supernatural.

    This man single-handedly not only changed the music of his time and how it would be expressed from then on but also and just as importantly, changed the way the instrument itself, the electric guitar would be played from then on as well. This is something that all great modern guitarists have been trying to emulate to this very day. No one has made the kind of impact on music in general, but more specifically on modern Rock n' Roll / Blues / Hard Rock / Heavy Metal, and so on and so forth.. as the man himself, Johnny Allen Hendrix, aka James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix! Long Live Jimi and His Music! First Chair & Lead Guitarist Extraordinaire in the heavenly music halls of eternity! God Bless and Keep Jimi Hendrix!
