Learn how to play Little Wing, as performed by Jimi Hendrix released on the Axis Bold as Love album in 1968. The song was recorded in October of 1967.

The lesson covers the great intro riff, what he does during the 2 verses, and then of course the guitar solo section. The song basically has one single chord progression that Jimi
plays through 4 times (+ a little more during fade out). First time is the intro, second and third times are the verses, and the fourth + time is the guitar solo. No bridge section or
different chorus section or anything like that. Just one great chord progression repeated where he improvises over each time with his "Jimiisms".

My signal chain in this video was my '85 Strat into a Boss GE7 EQ (pulled mids down slightly), New Instruments Ventillator II (Leslie/rotary speaker pedal), added MXR Phase 90 on solo, split into stereo signal out to a '64 Super Reverb (4x10 jensens) and a 1963 Fender Bassman (2x12 Oxfords). I have affiliate links below if you are interested in picking up any of those
pieces through Sweetwater.

Not that I can perfectly replicate Jimi's sound at all, but I like the mix of the 10s and 12s between those 2 amps, and I think it all comes reasonably close.

Also I wanted to give a shout out to 3 other YouTube videos on Little Wing that are definitely worth a watch, check them out.
