Spanish Castle Magic - Jimi Hendrix (Improvisation by Peter C)

Hello all,

I’ve been recently getting into Hendrix again, but with a healthy spice of EJ-isms as per usual.

Spanish Castle is one of my favorites from Hendrix and it’s more EJ than Hendrix in style so I guess it’s technically a cover of a cover, but I tried to vary it up a little and do certain stuff my way and be a little more daring than usual. One of the most enjoyable projects I’ve ever done alone I think. I debated whether to keep it in E standard or tune down half a step (which I don’t like very much) but again, it’s something relatively new for me.

The gear is my strat + fuzz face + princeton reverb on 7 + light delay + suhr RL + torpedo WoS a new to me lexicon plug in via logic x. The stuff I’ve always been using. For the second solo I switch in an MXR Fet Driver to get a cleaner lead sound.

Hope you guys enjoy and have a great day. I’d be happy to answer any questions :slight_smile:
