Speaking of awesome guitar instrumentals...

Eddie Hazel delivered an all-time great performance of technique, dynamics, and pure unadulterated soul in this masterpiece; compared to the "diddly-diddly" speed exhibitions of some of the overrated shredders who pass as guitar 'greats', the power and passion of Eddie's playing on this improvisation puts them to shame...

.and I thought I'd add this bit of guitar of guitar artistry that has been covered by almost every major rock guitarist ; it was a main showcase staple for SRV's live appearances (along with Voodoo Child and a few other JH numbers)...

An interesting and amazing aspect of both the above cuts is they were live, single take backing tracks; in Eddie Hazel's case, the original studio take did include some other instruments/musicians, but Eddie's work was so pure, the producer decide the couple of extra tracks were unnecessary; in Jimi's case, the only overdubs were Jimi's spoken bits; the is a post on YT of the raw track without the overdubs and with Hendrix having fun recording the spoken bits with his producer...
