Learn how to play Spanish Castle Magic, as performed by Jimi Hendrix from his Axis: Bold as Love album. Another one where Jimi is in Eb, and this is a rocker from beginning to end.

Did you know that Spanish Castle was a real place? I'll show you exactly where it was and what it was, and how this entered into Jimi's consciousness.

The lesson covers all of Jimi's parts, rhythm and lead, talk a little on his tone, pickups, use of fuzz, and I'll talk about his pick attach approach on this song which is a big part of the sound on this one.
