Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze


This is a great performance of a great and innovative song. The song is innovative in that it uses the Hendrix chord (a E7#9) and uses distinctive tritones. The guitar solo is played through an Octavia pedal, a pedal that raises the pitch one whole step which was also unheard of at the time.
It's described as one of Hendrix's best songs, and by many as his signature song.
It's been covered on several occasions including a version from "Buena Vista Social Club" who covered it on the album "Rhythms del Mundo Classics"

A great performance, enjoy ; )
