Studio recording for BBC Sessions, recorded 1967-1968. No evidence of live rig differences for this session. Guitar was almost certainly a Stratocaster with stock single-coils, amp was Marshall Super Lead 100. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this session.

The riff requires precise timing, aggressive attack, and dynamic control of a fuzzed-out tone, as well as Hendrix's signature thumb-over chord technique, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
