Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing (Steve Marks Acoustic Cover)

James Marshall Hendrix made guitar playing, songwriting and equally his attitude towards life, in my opinion the bench mark for most guitar players and musicians i know.
Little Wing is one of my most favourite masterpiece's Jimi ever put to record.
Its a song i love to play live... but most acoustic players would probably try to avoid it, as it sounds best on a strat for example, but i say fuck that....Let's give it a try.
Its a song i've wanted to play and sing for a while so i thought i'd show the world of youtube my version. Its not perfect but hey, Jimi would have never played it the same twice anyway. :)
A massive big thanks to my buddy Dave King who helped me with the recording side of things, cheers bro x
I hope you enjoy and thank you for taking the time to watch.

Thank you all for the positivity for my cover version of this beautiful song.
I’ve had a ton of requests to tab this or at least break it down, so if we get to a million views it’s the first thing I’ll do. Peace & love to all man

God damn when you did the drum part with your fingers that made me so fucking happy. Well done my friend. You can truly shred!

Well done Steve! I saw Jimi live 51 years ago, May 10, 1969. He blew me away then and still does every time I hear his music. His music will live in infamy!

holy fack. that's the best thing I've seen on YouTube this year. well done bro. jimi would have loved to hear your take on this

[pavolslamka]

Honestly, for me Little Wing is the most beautiful song of all times. Hard to explain. I have seen hundreds of covers and only two people did it right so far. Noah Wotherspoon and you :) Very nice!

Hands down the best acoustic version I've seen. Brilliant.

50 years ago today Jimi passed. This is was a treat to see today. Lovely.

56 years old and played acoustic guitar for years and thought yeh I'm not too bad, until I herd this my god what a masterclass performance makes me think I've been blowing in the wrong end of the instrument most of my life !! And a voice too go with the incredible finger work too !!

This hit me dead in the heart man. I love this song by Hendrix. Guys at work showed me him months ago and I'm stuck on him. Imagine hearing him for the first time over again. They were jealous of me.. They said that it would be awesome and it is. Only thing is, my standards are set high because this is the first guitarists I've ever really listened too. So when I hear other great players, I automatically compare them to Hendrix and it's just incomparable.

If in the course of listening to a Cover, you get transported to the experience of hearing the Original echoing in your mind’s ear - that is a great Cover. Your Cover is brilliant, Sir!
