    I remember when this came out, I was nine years old. Even then I could see how this was an amazing, delicate, and poetic piece of music.
    According to wikipedia , Castles Made of Sand was recorded at Olympic Sound Studios in London on October 29, 1967. Produced by Chas Chandler and engineered by Eddie Kramer.
    For this song I used a new amp that i'm very excited about . It's the Paul Reed Smith
    HD/XA 100 amplifier , a production version of a prototype that I demonstrated on youtube a couple of years ago.

    Paul never stops improving his work and this amps shows that resolve. It sounds great!
    The guitar i'm using is a Michael Tuttle strat. Tuttle is a very small independent builder in Valencia, California.
    Hope you enjoy the video , Tim

    If this song was all Hendrix ever did, we'd still be talking about Hendrix.

    Oh man. That solo… even though it’s your improv, I had to learn it. It sounds so brutal so powerful so viscous so good. By learning it I learned so much about soloing and upped my own skills. Thank you sir! Hats off.

    I have learned what I know about playing guitar over the internet. I've subscribed to many a site, bought lessons from bluesguitarunleashed, licklibrary (most expensive), texas blues alley, privatetricker or something like that and countless others. Where the hell were you? You are without a doubt the best, most patient, and unpretentious teacher ever. I have learned without any stress at all more from you in the last day and a half than in the 5-6 years preceding. Thank you, thank you and thank you again!

      Hi Tim, Man what can I say, you have changed my whole out look at playing the guitar. So inspiring to see and watch you play. You're awesome and subscribed to your link. You know, I wasn't a Hendrix fan for I guess you would say because of my upbringing. I'm watching you play now , Hey Joe, What amp or pedals do you recommend to get the sounds I'm hearing.I see Matchless in the back ground and other stuff. I am playing with a Fender supersonic, 60 watt combo, which I really like. Hope I hear back from you. My email is, mpa4982@gmail.com. I would love to send you some pictures I have of some of my guitars I have made from scratch. Not a kit. Body, neck and everything else.

    You are amazing to figure this out and clearly and modestly lay it on us here ! I'm 70 years old and can recall seeing him in an old red velvet type opera house in Ottawa Canada , lighter fluid and all , close proximity at about 16 years old . You simply have no idea how much he is doing at the time . Your skill and effort is also an exceptional experience for me .

    Tim, there are so many things that I love about your playing and lessons but I need to express how much I appreciate your honesty around cramping fingers (which I get a lot when trying new things repetitively) and flubbed notes (which I also do too much of), and the need to not do so. Your playing is so impeccable and clean and honest that it gives me chills, as well as the realization that I have a lot of work to do, while appreciating what a great artist is capable of. You make me want to play better, not just learn songs and licks. Great Thanks for all you do with your videos, as well as your contribution to so much music. Thanks.again. You Really Rock!
