His tone is out of this world, with overdrive, feedback between his speakers and guitar pick-ups, distortion from his amp, and vibrato from his tremolo arm and his fingers. Face-melting :)

    Notes from CD box set booklet:
    SPANISH CASTLE MAGIC
    Recorded: Olympic Studios,
    February 17, 1969
    *PRODUCER: JIMI HENDRIX
    Engineer: George Chkiantz
    Mixed by Eddie Kramer
    NRG Studios,
    January 10, 2000
    Guitar, Vocals: Jimi Hendrix
    Bass: Noel Redding
    Drums: Mitch Mitchell
    **Worth noting, which is not mentioned on the CD release:
    This was not recorded for release, rather it was a band rehearsal runthrough for the 1st of the Experience's 2 final UK performances at Royal Albert Hall, the next day, on February 18, & on February 24, 1969, which means that this Hendrix-directed session may have been the last time that the original Experience with Noel Redding recorded together in the studio.

Woodstock, Band of Gypsys, & a lot of great recordings & shows with the final "hybrid" band, with Billy Cox on bass & Mitch Mitchell on drums, so although the Albert Hall "Experience" concerts represented the end of an era (Noel Redding played a few more shows in the U.S. tour, then quit the band), it was the beginning of new directions for Hendrix which he was busily exploring, with enough material to develop for a triple LP at the time of his untimely death.
