The drummer = MASTER of the ghost notes....

[haventgotoverit]

Dont forget the drummer guys. What a sweet, full of honey & killer chops he's got there... perfect dynamic

[FedericoMatarazzo]

The voice of the bass player is EVERYTHING. Really difficult to comment appreciation, everything here is ASTONISHING

[DextraVisual]

Guitars always get the love.... But.. that bassist, that keyboard player, that drummer! For the first time I really noticed and admired the whole band individually. I've watched this so many times to take it in. So impressed.

[CarnorJast]

The rhythm section of this band is impeccable. Felix and Benni just kill it, and being a drummer myself, I always appreciate a great bass player! Man, Benni is fantastic!

For guitar players, Little Wing is like that space on the old seafaring charts where they drew dragons in the openness beyond known seas. It represents a challenge of infinite proportion because of its beauty, beguiling simplicity and the extraordinary difficulty of imbuing your version with anything approaching Hendrix’s louche virtuosity. To my ear, only SRV’s cover ever approached the breathlessness of the original. When this video of a German guy I had never heard of started, I was disappointed to hear the band eschew the song’s iconic double stop intro in favor of the simple chord progression, but the bassist’s vocal - more profound and articulated than Jimi’s - was authentic and oddly compelling. Then came the break and, well, you can listen to yourself as Martin Miller references just enough of Hendrix’s searing phraseology to show his reverence while owning the only true “original” take on the this solo that I have have ever heard that I listened to more than once. Ten times later, I am so awed by his audacity and originality in playing it with such passion that I have no doubt that somewhere out in the vast cosmos, the particles of Hendrix’s energy paused in their flight to approve.
It is an exquisite bit of guitar playing.

Blazing solo. Really great. Great band. Man. Great. GREAT

[CornCobPipe]

This sounds like Pink Floyd played little wing....so good.

[PaulTheTrombonist]

One of the reasons this performance is so good is because they are all wearing in ear monitors and that allows them to hear everything super clear; leading them to not overplay and play super relaxed with dynamics

[lijkenkist]

OH MY GOD
Never in my life have I heard such an amazing cover of a song. Goosebumps all over

[AsliSanatani]

Hendrix would be proud. Starts like a pink floyd song though.

[CaptAnderton]

That was awesome!! One of my favourite tracks of all time & a really cool version of it!!

[ghoshsayan]

Martin your covers and arrangements are like education. They're eyeopeners as to what more can be done with a song keeping the soul and feel of the song absolutely intact. Thank you so much for doing these.

[stevegillard]

I have found a new obsession Felix Lehrmann is an absolute beast

[coot]

As a musician of 40 years I can appreciate the skill and complexity of these guys. Love them to bits. Keep on keeping it real guys ✌😎

[Grumpy-Pants]

The skill of this group is out of this world!

Jimi will be proud to know this music is cover after 60 years and especially that. Beautiful

[NikolajChristensen]

Made a tab of that sweet sweet lick at 3.20:


Might do some more if someone is interested. Enjoy!

+Martin Miller let me know if you'd rather distribute this yourself

[mrcapedech]

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairly tales,

That's all she ever thinks about

Riding the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free

It's alright, she says
It's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Fly on, little wing

[rockriff]

Jimi is looking down and smiling from ear to ear... Awesome Lads !!!
