Jimi favored this key because it allowed him to take advantage of the giant minor third sounded by the open low E string. Other tunes in C# minor which make ‘abundant use of the open low E are “Freedom” and “Long Hot Summer Night." The ‘open high E and B strings also add ringing sustain to his C¢m7 chord voicing, “Spanish Castle Music” features a twist on the Experience line-up: its really three Jimis and a Mitch (Mitchell, on drums). In addition to guitar, Jimi plays eight-string bass (a rare Hagstrom) and a bit of piano, as coached by engineer Eddie Kramer.
