Love love love this song. Was trying to decide on a good Hendrix song... almost went with #ManicDepression for the groove... then thought about #LittleWing... but this one.... the guitar is magical.

This is one of Hendrix' most autobiographical and personal songs. He hated talking about his past, and avoided it during press conferences and interviews.
Hendrix played all of the lead guitar parts backwards, then rewound the recording of the lead guitar parts to the song to get that effect you hear in the beginning and in the middle of the song.
Hendrix' mother was a Cherokee Indian, and in this song he identifies with his heritage as a Native American.
Jimi didn't talk much about his upbringing but he seemed to have a good dad from reading this bio article...It's definitely worth the read

Made my first sand castle of the season. This is just so smooth and cool - my favorite Hendrix jam.
