Probably the most covered song of the late 60's, The Leaves did the best version, very fast tempo, I thought Jimi's version, was to slow.

I know get mad me and call me a racist.

Agreed...Leaves’ version is superior...Deep Purple does an excellent cover, as well.

Never could get comfortable with playing songs about shooting women, for some reason.

Saw Ten Years After do it "Hendrix-style" back in '78.

For a "quick" guitarist, Alvin Lee was at his best with slow blues, (same with Hendrix).
