very obviously philip sayce's take on album art for Voodoo ChileVoodoo Chile, but fantastic nonetheless. the way this song (and the entire album) is mixed brings out the character of his stratocaster very well, you get a lot of those classic strat bell tones, especially in the faster strumming sections towards the end

the lyrics are also fairly obviously inspired by voodoo chile - same supernatural psychedelic type beat

A faster, much more aggressive riff on album art for Voodoo ChileVoodoo Chile. Fun concept - take a slower, jammier song and then compress it into an aggressive 3 minute version.

This song is a 10 minute #guitar #solo with no vocals other than a few verses at the start and end. To maintain interest, it does multiple #build-up s and wind downs throughout the song, where the playing becomes louder or quieter to reach peaks and troughs. In that sense, it's very similar to album art for Voodoo ChileVoodoo Chile. Voodoo Chile is somewhat different in that there are more instruments - the guitar gives way to the organ and what sounds to me like a bagpipe at certain points, which makes it easier to keep things interesting.

I think the guitarist does a good job at building up to peaks multiple times in this song, but the lack of varied instrumentation does make the song a little boring towards the middle.
