Although he is featured in The Jimi Hendrix Experience songs, he is not playable outside of them, although it is possible to create a look-alike in Rock Star Creator.
During his appearance in Guitar Hero World Tour at AT&T Park, when arriving, he will tell the vocalist (or guitarist, if you're on the vocals career) of the band to get off the stage, whoever he/she may be, and play the lead guitar and lead vocals for "The Wind Cries Mary" and "Purple Haze" (Live) (if you're playing as the vocalist, like with "Today", "Misery Business", "Mr. Crowley" and "Crazy Train", the character you're playing as will perform backup vocals).
If you play as the bassist, you will play Noel Redding's Bass parts on "The Wind Cries Mary" and "Purple Haze".
