This iconic piece of music is best known for its unforgettable introduction, in which Hendrix expertly used the wah-wah pedal to devastating effect. A shorter and more succinct version of the original ‘Voodoo Chile’, this classic riff is recognised and revered by rock fans the world over, and continues to influence countless Blues and Rock players decades after Hendrix’s tragic death. I love this background video with insider views of the recording.
