"At the time I was in a band Smile and thought I was a pretty good guitarist. So I heard Hendrix's 'Stone Free' and thought 'Come on, this has got to be studio trickery. Nobody can actually play that.' Then sometime later Hendrix was playing in London so I went down there to see what all the fuss was about. And there you had it. He played the entire 'Stone Free' perfectly and just like it sounded on the record, including the part where he talks to his guitar and it 'answers' him back and I thought 'Welp, it's back to the drawing board.'"
