Jimi Hendrix: "Voodoo Chile"

Here is the one-and-only doing one of the greatest songs for guitar ever written. Joe Satriani referred to this song as "the ultimate guitar statement." Stevie Ray Vaughan's version at El Mocambo is among the best guitar performances of all time, but this version is by the man who wrote it. Performing a great song really well is one thing -- having it flow from your head to your fingers for the first time is genius.
