Hendrix’s signature songs – “Voodoo Child (Slight Return) – which was originally inspired by "Voodoo Chile," a lengthy blues-infused jam session, was recorded in 1968. Fellow rock guitarist Joe Satriani has said about the song, "It's just the greatest piece of electric guitar work ever recorded. In fact, the whole song could be considered the holy grail of guitar expression and technique. It is a beacon of humanity."
