I think I played this song at least 10 times today.
I discovered this because I am building a playlist of songs that were popular a half century ago. I intend to carry this through for the rest of my life. The playlist is called "50 Years".
I was born in 1962 so I only started remembering music around the year 1970 but back then, it was Partridge Family, Archies, that type of stuff, because I was only 7 years old, you know.
But this song by King Crimson is EPIC. Turns out that the late Greg Lake did vocals. It's a 10+ minute masterpiece. Said to be the first real "prog-rock" album.
Anyhow, it's great to discover music a half century after it came out. The album art is ugly but I'll post a lion down below, which is pretty cool.
Yup.. Watched a YouTube vid.. Glad to
see he is still going strong. Been so long since I heard his music. Saw him at Madison Square Garden in mid-1970’s. Amazing guitarist!

I will agree with you on this. Probably the best example is “Little Wing”, which on first listen sounds pretty simple.
And then you start trying to play it, and you realize how complex the rhythm guitar parts really are! Jimi managed to pack a lot into this song, which runs comfortably under three minutes.
Is that you Dweezil?
Little wing is a great example. This aspect of Jimmys playing got little to no attention but he was really great at it. He probably perfected in his early days when was with Curtis Night. I hope this thread keeps growing because I for one am having fun with it.
Great Album .......
