"Purple Haze" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix. It was released as the second single by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in the UK in March 1967.

The intro of this song is very shocking and has something destructive in it. In this song, Jimi uses a 7♯9 chord called the Hendrix chord. This is a very impressive sound. The sound of the Experience band is in the vein of blues and jazz, and I think their fuzz sound is a symbol of the times, and can also be said to be a symbol of psychedelic music.

This time, I performed this song with my friend Stu from America. We have done many collaborations in the past.

Stu always delivers great vocals and choruses.
Once again, I was able to finish this song with him, and I'm very proud of that.

Including the "Jiberish" part, they once again provided vocals with a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you, Stu!

I've loved this song since I was young, and I played it when I was a teenager and learned a lot about the guitar from it.

And the guitar solo in this song is different from standard guitar solos, using very distinctive phrasing, timing, and sounds.
I tried playing it.

The guitar I used was a Fender USA Stratocaster American Vintage 57 Model, and the amp I used was a Fractal AxFX2XL Marshall SLP1959 Treble 1.
I added an overall 60's phaser effect to the guitar sound. This is not a compact effector phaser, but I wanted it to have a 60's feel, so I used a Waves ADT.

By the way, the solo in the original song is not very distorted and has a rather raw sound, but that part was made into a solo using this effect.
For the backing, I set the volume to 7, for the main phrase and solos to 10, and adjusted the amount of distortion.

Also, in the ending part, the original version uses "Tape played at increased speed" to create an unusual sound.

I interpreted that part a little differently and played it my own way.
In addition to the usual guitar phrases, I play the following three.
1. Repeated phrase in high position.
2. Use the guitar strings in the head section to create a noisy sound.
3. Add a super high pitched note with no frets using the slide bar.
about it.

I featured Jimi's song in the previous video. It's a Bob Dylan cover by Jimi and I played it with my wife.

At that time, I played by playing the guitar behind my head. That's what Jimi actually did.

＜lyrics＞
[Verse 1]
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things, they don't seem the same
Acting funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

[Verse 2]
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm coming up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me! Help me!
Ah no, no

[Instrumental – Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Yeah! Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowing, blowing my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

[Outro]
No, help me
No, yeah purple haze
Oh no, no
Oh, help me
Tell me, tell me
Can't go on like this
You make me blow my mind
No, no, no
No, no, purple haze
