What is Jimi Hendrix's fastest guitar solo?

Answer 1

On August 17, 1969, at the final set of Woodstock and the height of the Vietnam War, Jimi Hendrix laid down what may have been his most powerful and influential guitar solo. The venerable song - notoriously difficult for vocalists - had been interpreted many ways throughout the years. Francis Scott Key's original lyrics include several additional verses, which are not traditionally heard in performance.

Jimi's genius was to take a powerful symbol of the American institution, in the midst of such a turbulent time, and turn it into a vehicle for protest. The esoteric, dissonant sounds that Jimi was able to coax from his guitar mimicked the sounds of war. He deconstructed the melody of the song, and then reinterpreted it so poignantly in the light of contemporary times; his guitar gave voice to the hearts of millions. Perhaps no performance in the history of rock and roll has had a greater impact.

All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Chile make a claim to the title of Jimi's best guitar solo, as do others. But no song - perhaps no single performance in rock history - can match the impact of Jimi Hendrix and his white 1968 strat. The music speaks for itself:
