Wow! Those first dozen bars of the intro are some of the most exquisite blues phrasing and tone I've ever heard. He moves so seamlessly from the minor to the major pentatonic. It makes me want to cry and smile at the same time, but most of all it makes me want to study and learn it. I've got no problem stealing licks from Jimi.

It's unusual to find Jimi with a real clean tone (well almost clean)....just pristine

Unfortunately, my wife doesn’t let me visit the red houses!

Hendrix was a phenomenal blues player. I love the cleaner tones he gets for a lot of his blues playing, but the only way to get that tone and sustain is to stand in front of CRANKED amps and let the speakers drive the strings. That’s one thing no modeler will ever get right, at least not at modern stage volumes.

56 to 58 seconds in....steals a riff from Chuck Berry....ha ha ha
