His rhythm playing is so killer. I like this better than the actual song, is that wrong?
I agree the blockers are blocking artists into obscurity. I think the exact same thing happening to Prince.i dont know if its just me, but it seems like jimi has really fallen off the radar in recent times, i dont see him talked about nearly as much as in the past, i guess his estate or whoever is in charge are major blockers and it dosent seem to be helping his legacy. i think he might be the greatest ever all things considered.

Nice, thanks for posting. Cool to hear his control on the dynamic of the picking. I never imagined him playing as lightly as he does here.
Jimi lost the original tapes to the album and it had to be remixed in a rush.Man that sounds great. It's crazy how much better sounding and more musical this guitar line alone sounds than the full track it's in.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but man Jimi's discography pretty much single-handedly proves that a bad mix and poor recording can take away or just cover up so much of otherwise incredible music. Of course this was the 60's and tech was very limited, so you can't exactly fault them, but still.
And yeah, everything being clinical, direct, and perfect is a whole other problem on its own, but man there's a limit to how "organic" and "natural" stuff can be before it just sounds like you're recording from the other end of a storm drain tunnel. Jimi’s playing and sound here is great, but if you listen to the main track, the drums and everything else sounding as rough as they do kind of ruins it.
