Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing (07111983) THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@trevorholden7423]

Jimi Hendrix wrote this song with beautiful lyrical vocals to go with the great guitar lines, and Stevie has turned his version into a sublime instrumental masterpiece. Both versions are brilliant. And I'm sure Jimi would have been so proud to hear what Stevie did to his song. Now they can both jam in heaven together on their angelic guitars. RIP Jimi and Stevie..

[@jokervienna6433]

Agree. Not many guitarists would even dare to cover any Hendrix song, but Stevie did it with honor. The only other guitarist I´ve heard to play Little Wing very good is Vidar Busk from Norway. And yes, let them jam in heaven. RIP.

Spot on, Trevor.

[@colinjames7569]

He was so sublime. He could bend the air around him

Stevie ray vaughan was the absolute best bar none!!

[@nelsonx5326]

Stevie Ray had a basket full of guitar tricks nobody else could do.

[@sauroncl]

yeah he was a master guitar player, but the band with him, to catch and match his style and follow him when he improvise is more than worth to mention it

[@svolos1971]

Double Trouble were inducted in the Hall of Fame along with him.

[@liamg1995]

Yeah, they were/ are all damn good musicians. And they worked together towards a common goal. Quite frankly Stevie's solos aren't much other than really skilled "showing off" without the bass to nail it down. With it, it's all just magic.

[@Flyersftw]

Dude I was literally about to comment on Double Trouble and I read your comment, despite how insanely talented SRV was, Double Trouble do not get enough credit IMO. Dudes could hold a groove with the best of them

[@DHARMN00]

They recorded 2 albums with Nuno Mindelis, the song "Stormy Minded Man" is excellent

[@paulpresto673]

Also remember that the bassist, Tommy Shannon was bass player for Johnny Winter...check out the genius of the late Johnny Winter on KZbin if anyone has any doubts. Probably the fastest guitarist of his time.

[@omniversalll]

The man truly was one of a kind. I’ve yet to find another guitarist that pulls that much emotion from their hands (& seemingly without much effort). In terms of technical ability, Stevie seems untouchable to me

[@stevew585]

Stevie, the GREATEST player to walk the Earth!

[@michelcyr4232]

He sure is great but he did learn all this from the master himself, remember Jimi, he was thee greatest 🎸👍🏻

[@stevew585]

@@michelcyr4232 I disagree, SRV taught himself listening to records and his Brother. True Jimi was a MASSIVE influence on him and Stevie worshiped his playing, however, in my opinion Stevie went LIGHTYEARS ahead of Jimi with natural talent, skill, and playing in general, way beyond Jimi's talent. SRV Was beyond belief as he Mastered the 'Master' .

[@SamA-bi4ly]

Tommy Shannon, Stevie's bass player, has said that whenever Stevie played Jimi Hendrix songs( Little Wing, Voodoo Child Slight Return, 3rd Stone from the Sun, Red House) it was like he went into a trance and was actually channeling Jimi.

[@karendaugherty9840]

This is my absolute favorite Jimi song. I had just gotten into Stevie after a few months prior of having a dream about him. One day I was riding in my dad’s pickup and an interview with SRV comes on the radio and Stevie talked about the recording of Little Wing. He talked about that day in the studio as they were laying down the tracks that it felt like to him Jimi was in the studio with him, flowing through him as he recorded the song! I knew then that Stevie channels him, and the Divine for that matter. Truly a special soul!

[@williamwarlick3497]

Yes, he channeled Jimi's soul, and God's Holy Spirit into that Strat. He was the pipeline that carried the flow straight from Heaven above. Our brief gift for certain. Never be another like SRV.

[@justanothersoul9102]

I wish Jimi lived and got to witness Stevie Ray Vaughan or better yet share the stage together, RIP to both legends

It's easy to cover songs when you already have the blueprint. Don't get me wrong SRV is one of the greatest guitar players to ever play. but Jimi is the Greatest man the most influential guitar player of all time. His creativity and skills are second to none. He single handedly changed guitar playing forever.

Yep, saw him do it live 3 times!

[@dmwalker24]

SRV did do things no one else did. He took what had been done and pushed it to an entirely new level. One of the big things that separates him from a lot of blues players is the sheer density of his performances. Most guys play a phrase, sing a phrase. Stevie could go on for days without running out of material.

[@jgzeta4743]

It's a shame that he left this world so soon. A really unique and talented guy.

Our little snowflakes here have no idea they are witnessing one of the all time greats to have ever played an electric guitar - this performance is now legendary ....

[@stevenm.6886]

SRV doesn’t just mindlessly “shred” . There’s a purpose, soul, emotion. I think it was Clapton or maybe BB King who said he never seamed to think about what to play next. It was just there

[@Pianoman999]

BB King also said the longer he played, the better he got.

[@markwambolt2820]

BB King & Clapton both said the same in different words!

[@brewswillis9783]

It's called "noodling" and SRV never had to resort to it because every note he played was purposeful and intentional! Saw him live 3 times and each were f-ing amazing!

[@sjc4091]

It was Clapton - he said that when listening to SRV play he never sounded 'lost' or like he was trying to think of what to play next, it just came out.. ..also Clapton - “I was driving, and ‘Let’s Dance’ came on the radio,” Slowhand is quoted as saying in Chapter 13. “I stopped my car and said, ‘I have to know who this guitar player is today. Not tomorrow, but today.’ - Clapton on the first time he heard SRV

[@paulpresto673]

Steven M. It was Clapton who said that on a tour celebrating Stevie Ray in, I believe, 1995...just 5 years after SRV's death. Clapton said "...SRV played from his heart and his mind. He didn't have memorized riffs, for the most part, he just played. Many of us, myself included, will come to a point in our performance when we don't know what riff to play next...but Stevie Ray ALWAYS knew and never seemed to 'run out'." That's the best of my recollection of what Clapton said.

[@jimwilson9371]

I was one of those who had to work hard to learn guitar. That was 58 years ago. And what SRV does is no where near normal. It's really enjoyable to watch someone do what they were born to do. It doesn't even do him justice to listen. You have to watch to get the full effect.

And here's the one that I've been waiting to talk about. Beth Hart is the most Amazing singer that I have ever listened to and I'm talking about Men and Women both . She runs cold chills all over me even before she starts singing 😂 Because I know whatever she does she brings it with every fiber of her being.

[@douglascampbell9809]

Just to really drive home just how good he was this is what some of the worlds best guitar players said about him. Eric Clapton "We played on the same bill on his last two gigs. On the first night, I watched his set for about half an hour and then I had to leave because I couldn't handle it!. I knew enough to know that his playing was just going to get better and better. His set had started, he was like two or three songs in, and I suddenly got this flash that I'd experienced before so many times whenever I'd seen him play, which was that he was like a channel. One of the purest channels I've ever seen, where everything he sang and played flowed straight down from heaven. Almost like one of those mystic Sufi guys with one finger pointing up and one finger down. That's what it was like to listen to. And I had to leave just to preserve some kind of sanity or confidence in myself." Joe Satriani "To be around him was to be in the presence of this enormous musical energy that was combined with a very humble, soft-spoken guy. But when he played, it was a roar. He just roared like a lion when he played guitar. I remember doing the gig with him that night and I saw that as soon as he hit the stage he was reaching for the magio moment, right from the beginning. He just strived to create incredible music every time he played the guitar. Very few people actually care that much about what they're playing, but he was just so totally into it." Steve Winwood "If there's a difference between a musician and a performer, Stevie was a musician. He was interested in the purity of his sound. He thoroughly mastered the intricacies of his instrument, and he really knew how to make his guitar speak. But when we jammed, he wouldn't try and hog all the solos. He was a very generous player"

[@NZLatic]

Love that you picked up on the SRV Stank Face! Essential to Stevie’s playing.

[@dorkoptimusrex907]

I saw him in 1979 he was very personable at the beginning of the concert and at the end period but during he was in his own world. You could tell that he was in what you called Stevie Ray Vaughan land. Each and every song was planned out exactly the way he wanted it and it was magical

[@jackscott5593]

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 You're right, he was an alien 👽. Had he not been killed, I believe he would be considered the best of all time, ahead of Hendrix. Inmho. I heard it said that if Jimi was king, Stevie is the only true heir to the throne. Either way, Stevie was definitely from another planet. Stevie, of course, was so humble that he'd name 20 guys he thought were better than himself.

Don't forget that the song was written by Jimi Hendrix and had very cool lyrics. Also, many of the harmonies, etc. that Stevie Ray played were on the original Hendrix recording. I am not taking anything away from Stevie Ray by saying that, because he took it to a fantastic level. Stevie Ray played another Hendrix song, "Voodoo Child", and played some guitar in that song that just tore your head off. Both of these fantastic artists were taken from the world far too soon.
