The acoustic instrumental "Embryonic Journey" composed by Jefferson Airplane / Hot Tuna guitarist Jorma Kaukonen originally appeared as the ninth track on Jefferson Airplane's second album Surrealistic Pillow but has been often anthologized, and multiple takes were released as an album also entitled Embryonic Journey. According to the album's liner notes, Kaukonen composed the tune in 1962 as part of a guitar workshop in Santa Clara and included it on Surrealistic Pillow at the band's behest.
After Jefferson Airplane disbanded, Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Cassidy went on to form the group Hot Tuna. Both musicians are not well known, but should be.
For guitarists who are interested in this particular song, Jorma in a how-to-play video.
