In this performance, Jimi transcended the medium of rock music, and set an entirely new standard for the potential of electric guitar." (Aledort, Andy (1998). Jimi Hendrix: Band of Gypsys.

Fair use rationale for Machine Gun (Jimi Hendrix song)
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
- It illustrates an educational article specifically about the artist from which this sample was taken.
- It is a sample of less than 30 seconds and less than 10% of the original recording of 12 minutes and 40 seconds, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
- It is of a lower quality than the commercially available digital versions of the original recording.
- It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
- This sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
The use of the excerpt is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the article Jimi Hendrix without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
