Understanding Purple Haze

It's not much of an exaggeration to say that Jimi Hendrix reinvented the electric guitar: While his career was cut tragically short, his legacy and his influence have endured, and he's widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists to have ever lived. Purple Haze is probably one of the songs most associated with him, and it in many ways exemplifies his approach to music, using clever twists to help take standard ideas and make them truly unique. Plus, tritones. Lots and lots of tritones. Can't forget about the tritones.
