On both studio versions of “Red House” Jimi Hendrix delivered a masterclass in postwar blues soloing. Joe Satriani, who decided to dedicate himself to playing guitar when he learned of Jimi’s death in September 1970, describes “Red House” as “a monument to blues.

Jimi plays blues throughout the entire song. It’s not like some guy who waits for the solo. The whole piece is an orchestration of blues from delicate to bombastic. I’ve worn out many a Hendrix record listening to that song over and over again.”
Jimi’s use of time throughout the song was especially striking. As Joe Gore wrote, “At times Jimi plays with a frightening drive and intensity, making the music race ahead. In other places, he creates a floating, timeless feeling, and huge chasms seem to open up between one beat and the next. Only a handful of performers have had this sort of control over the listener’s perception of musical time – trumpeter Louis Armstrong and vocalist Billie Holiday spring to mind.”
