Paul Gilbert - Little Wing (Jimi Hendrix)

[@akasgsvirgil9503]

Paul Gilbert is technical monster on a guitar. There isn't a chord or scale that he can't play or recall from memory. But, when it comes to feel, he can't let go of the technique. Still, he's one of the best guitar players of our generation.

[@icecreaminc8013]

I could listen to this man play guitar ALL FUCKING DAY.

[@peereinumanosoficial]

Melhor versão matadora de "Little Wing"...uau!

[@markescario3389]

When I'm saaaaaaad she comes to me. No, I listen and watch to this kind of electrifying performance. PG rocks.

[@traceyrychewhite6374]

Paul Gilbert is definitely in my top 5 best guitarist. I play and he is such an amazing influence for me and my playing. Awesome performance! Love you Paul! 💝🎶🎸🎶

[@kelseydimattei6662]

I think this guy has a future in music!😳

[@i3zooz8]

Lol, I think you don't for not knowing him 🤣

[@kelseydimattei6662]

I was being facetious,(meaning I was kidding) it’s safe to say Paul is one of the best guitarist for his genre(meaning for what he plays)😳😳😳🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@proTheologist]

Awesome man, really captured the essence and seamlessly put some very intricate stuff in there without losing the spirit of the song. I would love to see Hendrixs' reaction.

[@rexwidjaja5812]

He deserves bigger stages.

[@davidboyer9755]

paul you are and will always be way cool man!

[@MikeLeed]

This is the best Little Wing shred I have ever seen.

[@albertrisflo9527]

Then you must have never seen Zakk Wylde play this song

[@kamranahmad4592]

Don't forget Stevie Ray Vaughan

[@johntrading835]

[@bodysuit1134]

I have mixed feelings. I think SRV had more feeling and emotion though this sounds cool.

Boy's good really good

[@HendrixRipoff]

Loved what you're doing starting at 3:58, good shit as always man

[@JacobZirkin]

I saw him play the day before this show at the iridium too. Wish he played this song that day too

[@APRILIA250STACE]

YES!

[@bodysuit1134]

Kick ass cover man, good job.

[@songklodsriphumbang3104]

I like this song.

[@minhanhoan6870]

I love the amount of reverb.

Damn. Jimi is smiling.

[@howieh7877]

That is a tasty version and love how it rocks balls... Paul is the man

[@randyjones280]

Thank God he knew its running round

[@andrewhubbledrums]

Is that Thomas Lang on the drums?

[@raquelbatista3402]

lindo :)

[@pud354]

I know Paul doesn't like his singing voice much, but IMO it does the job fine, and I hope he does another rock album with sung lyrics on them again ("I Can Destroy" was a great album)

[@tanyabruce6537]

Not bad you know even a guy can rule the world 😜 not bad

[@AMALISTUDIOOFFICIAL]

Feel the kicks...

[@jaystiger3735]

It had arollercoasterride to little wing or little wayne you go giy

[@taggross4113]

What is with the guitar switch mid solo?

[@tonyrx93]

Not sure. It didn't sound like he had any different efx pedals set up with it. Maybe it was at a slightly more comfortable position for him to play that run.

[@bengray5013]

The miKro pgm on the stand has 3 strings on it all tuned to e, makes certain runs easier

[@bengray5013]

And it's run through the same fx pedals, it's connected by a switcher pedal to the side of Paul's main pedalboard

[@taggross4113]

thanks for the info

[@gecobrarrett4532]

Just like Jimi himself. Always concerned with being to loud for the audience's ears. That was the tastiest jam I've ever heard of this song that is not from the man that wrote it himself!

[@2368CHRIS]

Guitar switch is tuned differently

[@gaddyify]

Little Wing wasn't supposed to be shredded it a was emotional song to his mother. Hendrixs could've shredded it too. But it' was a beautiful song to his mother.

[@josemiguelgilgonzalez8405]

TODOS INTENTAN TOCAR LITTLE WING, PERO NO SE QUE PASA QUE JIMI ERA UNICO. EL UNICO QUE INTERPRETABA Y TOCABA BIEN ESTA CANCION ERA STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

[@tuentc4817]

Totalmente de acuerdo. Esta versión es un desastre , es un ejemplo de cómo el lucimiento personal se carga el alma del tema . Paul es un genio , pero se le va el narcisismo. Demasiado barroco.

[@RZ_9]

eh i'd argue skid row version is good and captured the true intention of the og song

[@joebill8696]

Il y a deux sortes de guitaristes. Ceux qui ont été influencés par Hendrix et ceux qui refusent de le reconnaitre.

[@MarkDrums77]

Mr. Thomas Lang is an awesome drummer but not for this. Thank YOu!

[@theleftymonster]

This song meant to be played with single coil.

[@tuentc4817]

Ejemplo claro de cómo cargarse un tema por el lucimiento personal innecesario. Mató el sentimiento

[@foxfox4500]

Drummer needs to play lighter during guitar solo.

[@riorio5052]

Drummer?

[@axlspn79]

I like Jimi's playing better. But Paul is greate too.

[@catsven1973]

Even Jimi coudn't did better...what a machine...Paul. But jimi were the genius who wrote it.

[@mateussantos4378]

Somehow better than the SRV version... amazing

[@alonsogallardorodriguez6429]

Tecnica ...nada mas.

[@jaystiger3735]

You missed a note

[@GearZenChannel]

Love ya Paul, but never sing this again.

[@sehmir79]

ahahahhahahaha

[@zaki9777]

Lol....yepp. 😅😅😅

[@brogoram]

jimi himself was nothing better than Paul when singing this song live. Jimi's songs is not about the voice. Its about 'the song'..

[@dickyp1]

go check out zakk wylde and yngwie doing this song, check the fuckin' train wreck they made of it, then watch this again.... at least this makes sense and he's playin' it so sweet.... zakk and yngwie totally trashed it... this ain't that bad, yeah, paul's kind of a bad singer, which is why he was never singing lead in ANY of his bands... his is more of a back vocals type of voice anyway... nobody came here for the singing.

[@sidgoku1694]

Gear Zen Like hendrix was some godly singer...🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gilmosc]

only technique

[@dongchaimongkhol7545]

[@loucifer4205]

This guy is a thousand times better than Hendrix

[@gened9787]

Jimi never played it like that.

[@bangzenBM]

Drummernya brisik bgt....

[@DizzyKrissi]

Paul can shred but at Little Wing he sucks - not very tasteful

[@ela122860]

how can a guy that plays so beautifully play such ugly guitars ? lol

[@BonesBroken]

Paul is a great guitarist but imho some songs should NOT be touched, not ever, "Little Wing' is one of them...

[@KingKull1971]

That's why Stevie Ray Vaughan, when he covered it didn't sing. He knew he couldn't capture the magic. When Derek and the Dominoes covered it, they played it in a totally different key and made it sound like a funeral song. So, I agree with you, some songs are just not meant to be played. Hendrix's music is near impossible to get right. 99.9% of the best musicians in the world can't nail a Hendrix song. It's all in the tuning, and the fact that his guitar was upside down; he used a right handed guitar and had it strung up left handed. So, techincally his pick ups picked up the sound backwards. His vibrato and phrasing can't be copied. And he controlled feedback in such a way it became an instrument all by itself. He used feed back and wah wah pedals to compose his music only the way he could. The reason no-one can touch Jimi Hendrix is because Hendrix is Hendrix, yet everyone trys to play his music because they want a piece of him. But as Neil Young once said, "There's no one in the same building as that guy." Les Paul said when he first heard Hendrix he thought "He was crazy." It doesn't get any better than Jimi Hendrix, but I'll give Gilbert credit for trying.

[@_azu7]

@@KingKull1971 You do realize that paul Gilbert was playing those shits in 18years of age which hendrix could never learn in his entire lifespan , not even in 9 lives would he ever have such technical abilities or extremely complex composition. Gilbert grew influenced by 60spop 70srock too, and van halen and kiss here and there , but look at him today. He's like Hendrix to the power 9000000. Hendrix was the start , as he was an early man that doesnt make him 'not sloppy' tho. I still love hendrix and thank him for the rise of many rock and roll legends later on, hes a legend but Paul Gilbert is more than great and legendary for his time. He string skipped arpeggios of length nobody could ever do , he wrote craziest shit like scarified . He was playing 22NPs batshit solos at 17 , 16 , 15 years of age. He won guitar wars at like 18/19' , very fantastic beginning just killing players one by one. People like Satriani sayin he envies gilbert and like Petrucci the literal killer of metal guitar playing has literally bowed to gilbert onstage because of his improvisation. Its like there were some light piano players , singers and composers even before beethoven that is for sure, but are they any close to beeth in skill?! its similar. Ya cant just disregard and disrespect legendary ass players just because they were born after. and gilbert is such a fuckin god like man he says he likes hendrix just because of his sheer imperfection and organic feel just unparaelled kind of touch in the guitar for that time.

[@KingKull1971]

@@_azu7 I never said Gilbert wasn't a great guitarist, as a matter of fact I prefer him over Steve Vai, Satriani and most shredders. Gilbert always incorporates the blues in his playing, which makes it special. But when it comes to Jimi Hendrix, he can't be touched. Jimi was unique because of who he was, and that came out in every note that he played. People like you never understand that every musicians has their own vibe. Some of them can be copied or reinterpret successfully. Hendrix is just one of a kind, in a league of his own, he's the best at it. I'm not knocking Gilbert, but Hendrix is on a spiritual level where no-one else can go and pull it off.

[@valebliz]

@@_azu7 i think you totally miss the point.

[@mikemachadomusic8555]

This is not a song he should play.... lol
