In terms of how much fun it is to play-obviously on one guitar.
I was looking at the powertab for Spanish Castle Magic and it looks a to be challenging but great fun-any other ideas?

You could always get the Johnny B. Goode cover that he did. I've been trying to tab that one out, but I need to get it into an editor and slow it down before I do that.

My buddy does a great version of Kiss the Sky too. He claims its fun, but I havent sat down with it yet.

Our songs also have the standard pop format: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo. All in all, I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath.

I always liked playing "Purple Haze". My band will still do it once in a great while.

All my favorite Hendrix songs are his covers of someone else's song. I'm not sure what that says . . .

It's between Little Wing and The Wind Cries Mary although I don't do either one justice.

first jimi hendrix song i ever learned was 'the wind cries mary'. i also learned to play 'angel', they are both pretty great songs to play, i liked wind cries mary a little bit better though, i seem to play it more out of the two.

My favorite is

"If 6 Were 9"

If you know something better than Rock and Roll, I'd like to hear it - Jerry Lee Lewis
