Watching the guitarist leave this galaxy each time he goes into a solo is still one of the best things, ever.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

He plays with such deep soul it is emotional.

Watching the bass player come out of his shell is just even better. I remember the first vids where he was trying to be a shadow.

[@jmpat0802]

@WorldRenownedCFE 🎤 bro just wants to be different

[@smokedy_7732]

​@@jmpat0802 Gotta be honest, it sounded nothing like Pink Floyd or either Hendrix Experience, which isn't a bad thing at all, even because Main Squeeze is a funk/soul band. I mean, they could've been more loyal to the original version, playing Hendrix with a Gibson SG? Ouch. They did at their style, and it sounded pretty good (excluding the drums tbh), but Hendrix is not a soul band, much less Pink Floyd.

[@Bob-Sacamano314]

have you listened to either of those bands?? the band is great but i dont wanna hear a boys 2 men vocal cover of little wing ever again

Main Squeeze keeps the flame of real music burning - bringing light to the darkness that pervades what people listen today. Most young people don't even know who Hendrix is! Really a sweet cover. Thank you so much for gifting us this jam!

[@yourself88xbl]

I played music for years before i really fell in love with it. I started playing guitar when i was 12 and i didn't really get hendrix to be honest. I thought he was good i just didn't recognize the brilliance and didn't have the context to understand how important he was for the guitar and for music in general. I remember tripping lsd with some friends and i had just bought a used martin off a friend. I thought enjoying the guitar outdoors while the lsd kicked in would be a good way to get through the come up. I sat outside and really felt what i played, it seemed like nature was in harmony with my playing and the trees where swaying to the music. I realized that i must be really feeling the drug at this point so i walked in to join my friends and little wing came on in that exact moment. It paralyzed me, I couldn't believe what i was feeling through the music. I felt so much love through this song it opened my eyes to a different, less analytical more emotional relationship with music that never went away. For this reason this song will always have a very special place for me . Somehow with all the attention to detail you guys express an even deeper love and appreciation for this music than i can even comprehend and make me appreciate the song even more than I already did.

[@stijn4771]

That bass tone in the solo is like glass, so clean, pristine and precious. Fucking amazing!

[@christopherheady7377]

Hendrix used an SG in studio on some songs actually

[@jissbar]

Check out Frank Marino playing All along the Watchtower or Purple Haze on his SG....

[@AllofJudea]

Those pafs sound great

[@pacoEXNIHILO]

There is something ineffable about the SG. Play one long enough and no other guitar seems to do the trick. Ive had so many different and lovely guitars but I’m always back with my SG at the end of the day.

[@abeanx]

One of the best songs ever, played perfectly..

[@lilyk9518]

It's sooo strange to hear it played on a Gibson! But the performance itself is amazing, just as I expected. Thanks, guys!

[@shawnreap]

I have to agree. I think that helps set it apart from other covers that just sound like a "recital." Max and his SG are a unit at this point, and he's able to express himself fully though it and sound inspired by Jimi rather than just copying him. I've always felt like the original conveyed every emotion humans were capable of experiencing all before the vocals even kicked in. Maximillian on the got-damn guitar managed to do that perfectly here. Then he takes that feeling and just blows it up to the size of the universe at the end. I'm just listening over and over again in awe here.

[@caydespliff181]

mans really doing a beautiful job of showcasing how soulful and sustaining gibson sgs can be. bucket list guitar for me, and I generally prefer strats.

[@bimwopbarn47]

after playing the same guitar for years, at a certain point your fretting hand and the neck are sort of melded and the comfort and fluidity that comes out of that is like a rocket launcher.

[@zianzian1908]

The moment when you're so flashed that you don't know what to write anymore. unbelievable!

[@tomleete2384]

Put this one on and my wife, who isn't into music, says "hey I know that one!" I talked her into letting us use Sting's cover for our first dance at our wedding. Good to know that three decades later she hasn't forgotten. :D When SRV's cover came on my car radio a couple years after he died, I had to pull over. I felt like my favorite guitarist had given me a wedding present from beyond the grave. Now you guys have hit that feeling again. Thanks for the late wedding present. Love you guys. Fly on, my brothers.

Great musicianship & camera work!!!!! I met Jimi a few times in the elevator at the Lyon Bldg. on 3rd & James St.. His manager had an office in the building. My family had a business on the whole 5th floor. Jimi reached in his vest pocket and gave me, a wide-eyed 9 yr old a grape, tootsie roll pop. We would ride the elevator together a few times. His soul presence filled the elevator with a blessed light. When I was 18 my Dad asked me if I remembered him and told me that he was Jimi Hendrix before he left for England.😊❤

Fantastic version of one of my favourite Hendrix songs. One of my biggest problems with the original was always how short it is - this definitely addresses that with Max's transcendent solo, but also showcasing Rob and in general featuring perfect synergy of vocals and instruments.
