Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix (acoustic cover)

STARBIRD -- my latest album of original music:

It's taken me way too long to make this video. You guys have been asking me for me to do this song for years -- well, here it is -- my acoustic cover of "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix. One of Jimi's most gorgeous songs but painfully short in the original. I love that Stevie Ray Vaughan made the ultimate extended version drawn out to just the right length. His cover is pure perfection. I decided to keep mine short and sweet, the way I think Jimi would have played it on an acoustic. I hope you enjoy this take.

Originally released on the Axis: Bold As Love album in 1967 by the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

People that don t play have no idea how difficult it is to sing and keep the rythim with such rich and complex strumming especially with hendrix where time is especially important, you are a god

[dionprass]

There are already dozens of Little Wings covers out there! But, accoustic cover?? This one is just from another world!

[InvictusEternal]

Anyone else on a binge fest of this dude? He’s so unbelievably clean.

[darrellmangum]

Best cover of Little Wing I've ever heard.

[marcelboogaard]

I went that boy can play. Then he started in a jealous rage I pressed the subscribe button. Well done that man.

BEST cover of LITTLE WING I've ever heard -- a song requiring such varied and nuanced technique, SO many chords, bends, rakes, stops, plec AND finger-picking, hammer-ons, pull-offs, mutes, and more -- performed and recorded LIVE, on ACOUSTIC guitar, and SUNG, all in ONE TAKE! Absolutely BRILLIANT.

This is actually absurdly good. Ridiculously clean for an acoustic

[a.wmitchell]

You have become one with the guitar, you have transcended Corey...

Why this man is not on the International stage must be of his own choosing. He is outstanding, head and shoulders above so many of fame. Whatever the reason, I love to watch and listen to his videos. Thank you!

[coreyheuvel]

WOW! Thanks everyone for the unreal response to this video! I appreciate it immensely :) For those who are asking, the guitar in the video is a Martin 00-15M, Elixir Bronze Strings (.012 - .053). And there's also a lesson available on my Patreon page! Thanks again for all your kind words! Much love and gratitude to you all <3

What a great acoustic sound. This must be near the top of Little Wing covers.

Your acoustic covers are becoming the stuff of legend my guy. You sound like everyone dreams of sounding like when they're in a bonfire and their friends urge them to play a song.

[steaveg]

Finally, a good performer that records live takes. So many covers are people miming over something mixed to death in Pro Tools. This is the real deal.

[peterlogan]

I’m thinking even Jimi himself would of enjoyed this take as much as I did and be humbled that his influence has endured way beyond his own years!

[tanwera]

That was incredible! Hands down best acoustic Little Wing cover I've ever heard. Just wow!

[jimbarrett]

Best rendition of Little Wing on YT / Ultra complex song with numerous nuances that this gentleman has his own unique crayon; coloring every phrase, every strum, every beat . This gentleman is on point with the above excellent vocals/ incredible talent/ beautiful easy listening

[PIPQER]

This is the best performance i have seen in years

[robertdiehl]

For me, Little Wing was always about percussive guitar chops(the right timing and drum like phrasing)…making the song tell a story. Dude your take here us spot on for me. Excellent effort.

[theplaymaker]

Absolutely incredible. I've never heard an acoustic cover of this song, and after hearing this one, I don't think I need to hear any other ones. Bravo man, bravo.
