    The howling guitar solo that starts at 4:24 encapsulates the very essence of what I love about Jimi's music. His tone is out of this world, with overdrive, feedback between his speakers and guitar pick-ups, distortion from his amp, and vibrato from his tremolo arm and his fingers. Face-melting :)

    One of my favorite songs from Hendrix, and not just his playing abilities but also his song writing style. He was always telling incredible stories with lyrics like "and it takes about a half a day to get there, if we travel by my dragonfly ".. Thanks for the magical music Jimi.

      "A God gifted man" Some of his guitars having been stolen, he was sleeping with his guitar all the time, practicing and creating all that time at the same occasion.
      The "god gift", I don't believe in that. Good musicians practice all the time, and become what they want. Steve Vai used to practice at least 10 hours every day when he was younger. Take a listen to what he can do with a guitar. You can apply the same to all renowned musicians

      I disagree with that... Although Mitch Mitchell was perfect for the Experience's psychedelic musings, Jimi's funky soul side really shined with Buddy Miles' steady beat in the Band of Gypsies..... Mitchells frenetic drumming wouldn't have been right for tracks like Who Knows, Changes, or Power to Love......IMHO

    SPANISH CASTLE MAGIC
    Recorded: Olympic Studios,
    February 17, 1969
    *PRODUCER: JIMI HENDRIX
    Engineer: George Chkiantz
    Mixed by Eddie Kramer
    NRG Studios,
    January 10, 2000
    Guitar, Vocals: Jimi Hendrix
    Bass: Noel Redding
    Drums: Mitch Mitchell
    **Worth noting, which is not mentioned on the CD release:
    This was not recorded for release, rather it was a band rehearsal runthrough for the 1st of the Experience's 2 final UK performances at Royal Albert Hall, the next day, on February 18, & on February 24, 1969, which means that this Hendrix-directed session may have been the last time that the original Experience with Noel Redding recorded together in the studio.
