Steve Vai, Uli Jon Roth, Steve Morse - Little Wing

Guitar en Scene 2014

[@viiinicius17]

Man Uli Roth isn't trying to show off, he's just feeling it, that's how it is supposed to be. and btw his tone makes me travel through the clouds

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I _love_ his tone, so many people can't get past the fact that something isn't bad simply because it's not what they're used to hearing. If most people couldn't then none of these guys would have ever become famous. On the other hand, none of the three here were trying to show off, that whole idea is absurd. These are players who became great by doing what feels good to them, what sounds right in their own ears.

[@alexanderruppert1705]

Cause he is the Master...

[@alexanderruppert1705]

No one touches uli he is the man and so high above all the other

[@shirohemoth1946]

that how u feelin blues

[@in1213]

@@alexanderruppert1705 I don't like this music. Probably the music is not really "true". Better to listen to Christian music! (I went to school together with Ulrich Roth) Christian music, for example: I thought of God - Foghorn String Band All my hope is in Jesus - The Burnett Sisters Band He loves me - Surefire Bluegrass Band The Butterpats - We shall rise Sandy Denny - For Nobody To Hear Sandy Denny - One Way Donkey Ride

[@killall1234]

Morse has unbelievable sense of melody, that's why he's one of my favourites :)

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I couldn't agree more.

Steve Morse..I think this is the best solo I've ever heard in a G3 Style Little Wing Jam session..amazing..

[@lickbass]

Steve moss is the MAN. Beautiful guitaring. Very melodic and fantastic playing.

[@DenkendeMystik-ll8oi]

Uli Jon Roth is one of the best players ever. Yngwie before Yngwie. Cannels Hendrix. Playes Vivaldis 4 Seasons in original pitch on guitar. Genious!

[@almeal406]

Steve V. you nailed the intro. That was much closer to the original Hendrix Studio Track notes and melody. Nice job Brother.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I agree he nailed it, but not because it was close to the original. Because he was playing his heart out, that's what all these guys have that makes them great players, not just another technically good player among millions of other technically good players.

[@hanumharkit1485]

@@aylbdrmadison1051 yeah..vai is not a blues player...

[@michaelhaller1762]

Like it or not: these modern days guitar superplayer are of monstous virtuosity and can play like hell. No classical musician could do that improvising thing. It is not so easy since Jimmy Hendrix songs have been played to death. This performance is really cool.

[@nikonystrom8888]

Uli Roth and Morse are both same-timey as Hendrix; Of the same era. Roth in particular is known for influencing many of those "modern shredder" types; Yngwie basically just lifted Roth's style and claimed credit for it.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Thank you. Finally a comment from someone with the intellect and heart to recognize that it's about expression.

[@johnwattdotca]

Almost every symphony player who plays guitar can play better than any rock musician. Learning to play an instrument well enough to be a symphony player and learning to read music to play symphonies is a far more complicated thing to do. Rock musicians had a chance to create a new style of rock virtuoso, but it was more about the sex and drugs, losing it to technology, not growing as musicians for the public.

[@thejamnasium6447]

I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment but the thought that no classical musician could do virtuosic improvisation is absurd.

[@ClassicRock1973]

Oh wait, Steve Morse is great too. I didn't realize he is such a beast

[@freaknbigpanda]

The bend at 2:57 by ol Vai just friggin pwned everything

[@ClassicRock1973]

Vai is the best here. He is the perfect combination of technique and feel. Uli is a matter too, so maybe I should say it's a tie

[@jessace64]

ok...jeff beck is an icon, no question... but I`ve seen steve countless times in the last couple of years and talked to him a lot and I`ve never seen any of those guys, who can hold a guitar the right way, which could even raise up on him in anything...playing, feeling the tone, note by note or even talk about the meaning of it all... thats why I say, he`s unique by himself and lightyears away from "being boring"...!!!

[@sahisnu]

***** agreed! we should stop comparing musicians after all, they are all unique. As steve said, "find music that resonates with your soul".

[@timsr1782]

Uli Roth apparently baffled the guy recording this video. Her couldn't tell where the sound was coming from! Lol

[@ellokittymew]

This song simply sounds best on a Strat. Again, check out one of SRV's versions. The "note for note" version, while playing solo at home is incredible.

Eddy Vai Halen does the guitar NAMM Ibanez booth version to wow the drooling fan bois. Uli looks at them like he is glad the kids are done with their games. Why do Vai and Morse feel a need to overplay everything?

[@Leo-uc8zv]

Add Jeff beck to this and then they would be like woah lads Jeff is here

[@bdctube]

Invite Uli for a jam, and you're at second best. As soon as it becomes a race to squeeze in as many notes as possible, then it goes to shit. Uli the statesman on axe avoids this.

[@guitarplayer2846]

Guitar playing isn't a race or a competition. Mr. Steve Vai nailed the infamous Hendrix flavor, complete with Hendriv style chords and licks.in his rhythm. They all need to turn down the gain (distortion) and lay off some of the stomp box effects, the volume swells and the other Van Halen-style tricks. .

[@ideath173]

anyone who thinks guitar playing isn't a competition has no ambition to become a better guitar player. if humans didn't compete, we'd still be flinging shit from the trees and eating ants out of each others anuses.

[@josephblow5946]

After hearing Steve Morse here, it's hard to believe that he almost subbed for Al Di Meola in the acoustic guitar trio with McLaughlin and Paco. So yes, I was expecting more from Steve Morse, especially in terms of speed and alternate-picking. Maybe he was holding back because it was Steve Vai's gig. That sure didn't stop Malmsteen from running rings around Vai and Satriani at G3.

[@e_david]

I think that time he was really struggling with the arthritis in his right hand. He had to change the way of picking because of the pain. Maybe that's why he didn't play fast and use alternate-picking

[@josephblow5946]

@@e_david So he had arthritis? That will definitely put a damper on your overall skills. McLaughlin had arthritis as well. Maybe that's why he hired Jimmy Herring a year or so ago to take some of the solos.

[@e_david]

@@josephblow5946 yeah, that's why Steve is wearing a wristband on his right hand. He said in an interview,that he had to learn again how to pick, because he couldn't use his uniqe picking technic.

[@moonmunster]

I thought Steve Via sounded the most like Jimi. Steve Morse had the drawn out sustain sound. Roth was good too. But even though this is a Jimi Hendrix song, I don't consider it a hard rock tune. It is more of a tasteful guitar playing song, nice and mellow so you can listen closely. It isn't Purple Haze or Foxy Lady.

[@greenwoodcowboy]

Uli can play it the regular way ur supposed 2 play it.He was just bringing a DIFFERENT take on it.Whoever uploaded this needs to know how to record something and NOT be moving the camera around!!When it was finally Uli's time,you decided to drop the phone.Comon man,u could have recorded this better.You must be a Vai fan only.A lot of us older people appreciate the skill of Uli Jon Roth.He is the Master and Vai and Morse are the STUDENTS.REMEMBER THAT!!!

[@RG-ms1ou]

Amen to that

[@Hotdog22958]

None of them had the song by the balls like Hendrix...each one had some ridiculous offtake .

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Uli is definitely one of my favorites, along with Hendrix, Vai and Morse, but: Art is not a race. Ask Uli if you don't believe me. Or ask _literally any other great artist_ the same question. You will get the same answer. For gods sake, just go listen to Jimi's lyrics and chill. Get experienced.

[@reinermaurer892]

There is definitely no higher level of guitar playing no matter how fast someone can play. All very good guitar players are not racers

[@ClassicRock1973]

It's hard to say who is the best, but it's certainly between vai and Roth.

[@ellokittymew]

No disrespect for these greats (they are in my top favorite guitarists), but check out Stevie Ray Vaughn's rendition of this song. I think his style and sound best matched Hendrix and especially in Little Wing. My pet name for my oldest daughter is "Little Wing".

[@mastasheo]

1. Morse solo had the soul 2. Uli I think he sounds better with a strat 3. Vai has more skill then tone

[@TruthSurge]

3:21 to 3:23 as great as Vai is, he royally screwed up there and his entire solo didn't follow the chords. He just played as if he was over E minor the entire time. I'm actually shocked because great players know how to accent the notes of the chords while they are happening. oh well... Vai never did have any handle on playing blues. He was honestly too white. no soul. I say this and I love most of his stuff but it's true. He can't play legit blues to save his life.

[@Hotdog22958]

None stayed true to the hendrix version of the song..Vai was closest, the rest went off in lala land. lol

[@andyreasoner5289]

+kadu almeida Did You expect simple cover? They are not record players. They play this on its own way. In other case it would be be better to play original Hendrix single or album. You really believe that these virtuosos can't play such rather simple style as pentatonic blues in typical way?

[@cantorkadualmeida]

Andy Reasoner If you like it my, man, you are free to replay it all day long. over and over and over and over... go ahead!!! you are a free man!! virtuosos they are indeed!! great players!! hands up... still can't play the blues tho... check out Johnny Hiland. My humble opinion he combines virtuoso and blues... but that's just little me saying it...

[@warezpl0]

they could totally play the blues to your standard. play the flat 5 all day and play question and answer all day with pentatonic and the maj 6, all that... some players choose to be different. they are expressing themselves in a unique way instead of complying with a standard. that should be valued too. it is a different story if blues is your thing (like gary moore or joe satriani). every good guitarist can play the blues. some just don't want to do it in a way that has been done 1000 different times, simple as that.

[@director2bob]

Holy Shit....first time I ever heard Morse play out of key. He definitely did NOT nail this solo. Uli is fucking king🙏
