"
Are You Experienced?" is the title song for
the Jimi Hendrix Experience 1967
debut album. It has been called one of
Jimi Hendrix's most original compositions on the album by writer Keith Shadwick. The song is largely based on one chord and has a drone-like quality reminiscent of Indian classical music. It features recorded guitar and drum parts that are played backwards and a repeating piano chord, but no bass. Live recordings from 1968 are found on
The Jimi Hendrix Concerts album and
Winterland box set.
