Well she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind That's running wild Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams And-a fairly tales That's all she ever thinks about Riding with the wind When I'm sad she comes to me With a thousand smiles She gives to me free "It's alright", she says It's alright Take anything you want from me (Take anything) Anything Fly on, little wing
People that don t play have no idea how difficult it is to sing and keep the rythim with such rich and complex strumming especially with hendrix where time is especially important, you are a god
Duuuude NAILED it! @Mad:), you are soooo right. I find so much better music on RUclips played by real people. It’s time for us to say “Enough” to commercial garbage music and start listening to the real talent in the world - us.
WOW! Thanks everyone for the unreal response to this video! I appreciate it immensely :) For those who are asking, the guitar in the video is a Martin 00-15M, Elixir Bronze Strings (.012 - .053). And there's also a lesson available on my Patreon page! Thanks again for all your kind words! Much love and gratitude to you all
Why this man is not on the International stage must be of his own choosing. He is outstanding, head and shoulders above so many of fame. Whatever the reason, I love to watch and listen to his videos. Thank you!

BEST cover of LITTLE WING I've ever heard -- a song requiring such varied and nuanced technique, SO many chords, bends, rakes, stops, plec AND finger-picking, hammer-ons, pull-offs, mutes, and more -- performed and recorded LIVE, on ACOUSTIC guitar, and SUNG, all in ONE TAKE! Absolutely BRILLIANT. C.K. NYC, 2022
Your acoustic covers are becoming the stuff of legend my guy. You sound like everyone dreams of sounding like when they're in a bonfire and their friends urge them to play a song.
You can def. hear that he is blending the SRV version with Hendrix's original here - I do find this more interesting than SRVs version, even though SRVs playing is insane in some parts. It does get a bit long after about 4 choruses (SRV that is) :)@@nikhillrao3799
After listening, you’ll never convince me that this song is not meant to be played on a Martin guitar. What a beautiful tone for that song. Awesome job, man.
Best rendition of Little Wing on YT / Ultra complex song with numerous nuances that this gentleman has his own unique crayon; coloring every phrase , every strum , every beat . This gentleman is on point with the above excellent vocals/ incredible talent/ beautiful easy listening
You might want to watch Justin Johnson play this song on a 12 string before you call this the best version on RUclips... great for the 👍🏻 however, probably not the truth. Check it and see for yourself. ✌🏻❤️🎶
I would argue that all music is mixed. Technically even the choice of location, instrument and microphone is mixing since they all affect the sound in different ways. For example, the body/material of an acoustic guitar or recording outdoors vs in a church. In no way is that related to the quality of the performance. Mixing is, at its base, just a tool to enhance listener experience mainly by making the layers of the song easier to distinguish. As a disclaimer, I just read "mixed to death" and went on a rant. No offense meant. I agree with the general essence of your statement :)
For me, Little Wing was always about percussive guitar chops(the right timing and drum like phrasing)…making the song tell a story. Dude your take here us spot on for me. Excellent effort.
Absolutely incredible. I've never heard an acoustic cover of this song, and after hearing this one, I don't think I need to hear any other ones. Bravo man, bravo.
Ive been watching this video daily for the last month and I still can’t get over this guys talent. People who dont play guitar have NO IDEA how hard this is
Simply Brilliant! This cover has that lovely elastic feel of hendrix' playing style that most other renditions simply can't convey. Great straight forward vocal too.
I almost passed this over thinking, oh another Little Wing cover. Then I noticed your guitar looks like my OM-15 so I thought I’ll give you a listen to see how it sounds on a Mahogany Martin. I immediately forgot about the guitar due to your command of the song. You do an excellent cover with equal parts of your individual artistry. Well done brother.
Don't ask me why, but somehow I didn't expect you to sing along with the song. 😅 Awesome cover! Huge respect for the fact that you manage to play guitar and sing at the same time on this song. 🖤
Dude! There's an acoustic cover I found on RUclips in like 2007 and I think the dude's taken it down years ago. I've always longed for a cover that would fill that void and you've just filled it. Amazingly done.
if i remember correctly, this song has 7 chord changes which is already complicated enough. but the mix with blues and jazz and the various techniques (sliding, pick placement, bends, vibrato using the neck). oh and yea, you have to have a good voice and sing over all that
A beautiful chord progression, very straight forward but there’s such an appeal to the many ways it can be played, this acoustic version highly praised it was clean
What's so amazing is that despite it's complexity, it's a very catchy and accessible song. I heard it for the first time in the 90s as a teenager and instantly loved it.
This is so brilliant, I don't know if to cry or ... I don't know. You are gifted with a great sensitivity. I love how this comes out in your voice. You kind of remind me of Daniel Negrin, a musician friend from the Canary Islands. Different style but similar alertness and clean focus (for lack of better words). All the best to you! Hugs from Berlin xoxox
That’s a lovely tone coming out of that 00015 Martin…. and top of that them vocals!! Man your killing it.. done good justice to this classic tune.. keep coming bro… sounds amazing… best wishes… 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
It's amazing to think that there was a time when this guy couldn't strum one chord.Imagine the hours of hard work and patience. You're amazing and xan inspiration to any budding guitarist x
ive posted a give second thumbs post on most of his songs in an odd way today if you post a give a second thumbs up we can all give a second thumbs youll find mine in most of his songs.
Amazing. You probably weren't even born with this came out. But you nailed it on ACOUSTIC guitar. And with a flatpick. Bravo. By the way, I can't even imagine how you play this and sing at the same time.
I'm speechless. I'm learning Little Wing myself right now and seeing you playing it on acoustic while singing is mindblowing. Just how beautifully it's done - rich sound and the pacing, wow!
Wow!!! Great cover I love your variation on some of the chords and vocals. I've heard many covers of this song on RUclips but your very particular style comes close to perfection.
I want to get in here and say something a compliment worthy of this performance. Not possible, but a lot of people have done well trying at it. I agree with all the positive words. So good, man, so good
My first Jimi Hendrix eight track had the song, "Goodbye Bessie May" on it and I can remember my mom telling me to turn it down regularly. I am a huge fan of everything Jimi and Corey does a huge justice to every one of his versions.
This is me again xD this is stunning godamit, and how you resolved it, just perfect!! don't know that chord at the end, it created such a beautiful resolution, yet the song comes to an end I have that feeling that the little wing is still flying and for eternity.
Wow!!! 😱😱 One of the best Little Wings cover in the universe! And he's singing too..!? With all the fill and complex playing? The god of music is unfair.. 😅
Holy chit Corey! You brought the frigging house down with this tour-de-force rendition. I was nodding my head and tapping my feet like a right looney following those richly layered interwoven melodies all sailing atop that amazing staccato picking. Subbed and liked fer sure.
Between this and your voodoo child cover I'm speechless. I'm staggered by how full and rich the sound is from just your voice and acoustic. Especially with how wah and feedback heavy voodoo child is. Thank you so much for these beautiful renditions. Unfortunately we didn't get much of Jimi playing acoustic. PLEASE keep bridging the gap my imagination can't.
So beautiful, dude. Love your work! Well she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind that's running wild Butterflies and zebras And moonbeams and a fairy tale That's all she ever thinks about Riding the wind When I'm sad she comes to me With a thousand smiles she gives to me free It's alright she says...it's alright Take anything you want from me Anything Fly on little wing Yeah, yeah, yeah Fly on little wing
Gorgeous. One thing I've learned from watching your videos is I can give it a like before the add is done and I'd happily give it another if I could when it's over.
Excellent!! I enjoy longer renditions of this song, but there's something about the album version that's so short and fleeting that it just feels harmonious. Love this rendition.

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And-a fairly tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
"It's alright", she says
It's alright
Take anything you want from me
(Take anything)
Anything
Fly on, little wing
People that don t play have no idea how difficult it is to sing and keep the rythim with such rich and complex strumming especially with hendrix where time is especially important, you are a god
Totally aggree, wtf haha ^^'
And improvising
@Thiago Lopez true that, even harder
This 100%! First thing I thought... Tricky off rhythm Hendrix shizzle
Duuuude NAILED it! @Mad:), you are soooo right.
I find so much better music on RUclips played by real people.
It’s time for us to say “Enough” to commercial garbage music and start listening to the real talent in the world - us.
There are already dozens of Little Wings covers out there! But, accoustic cover?? This one is just from another world!
As good as this one: ruclips.net/video/Yl6FwpTm1PA/видео.html
There is also the Justin Johnson one where he does it in a 12 string acoustic too, check it out, it's amazing
@@hendix2200 YES!!!! Finally someone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree! He is fantastic!!
Absolute proof that there is always plenty of room, for more covers, of this amazing piece of art!
Anyone else on a binge fest of this dude? He’s so unbelievably clean.
Middle of the night. Rendered me sober so I'm watching all of them.
I was on a night bus to travel, and yes when I found his video playing Histeria, I knew that I had to binge watch this guy nonsleep
Indeed!!!!!
Clean... the exact first word I thought of. Wow.
WOW! Thanks everyone for the unreal response to this video! I appreciate it immensely :) For those who are asking, the guitar in the video is a Martin 00-15M, Elixir Bronze Strings (.012 - .053).

Amazing performance 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼 everything sounded perfect and that ending was awesome 🙌🏼
which mics did you use?
This is pure awesomeness! Thank you for sharing!
@@martinpereza AKG c451b (guitar) APEX 460 (vocal) :)
it's not, i think it's a 000-15M? LOL
This is actually absurdly good. Ridiculously clean for an acoustic
Why this man is not on the International stage must be of his own choosing. He is outstanding, head and shoulders above so many of fame. Whatever the reason, I love to watch and listen to his videos. Thank you!
Probably because hes covering such overdone trite garbage as Little Wing

@@EBJorge-ql1ii I mean from a regular youtube player. Someone who's not famous. Even then, this is a wonderful rendition. Stands up well to any other.
I’m thinking even Jimi himself would of enjoyed this take as much as I did and be humbled that his influence has endured way beyond his own years!
it was a pleasure.. as each friday
I went that boy can play. Then he started singing....... in a jealous rage I pressed the subscribe button. Well done that man.
Haha me too
Same man. Same.
Your comment made me smile, it's good to see humble people
you should have been easier to press the subscription button, for the button was left in miserable ruins thanks to your fierce touch.

You said what everybody here would have liked to have written. Thanx.
Your acoustic covers are becoming the stuff of legend my guy. You sound like everyone dreams of sounding like when they're in a bonfire and their friends urge them to play a song.
What a great acoustic sound. This must be near the top of Little Wing covers.

You have become one with the guitar, you have transcended Corey...
brilliant
The power of that specific song!!
¡Gracias!
Finally, a good performer that records live takes. So many covers are people miming over something mixed to death in Pro Tools. This is the real deal.
Yup. It's called talent...real, live, honest-to-God talent.
good is not appropriate word in this context... maybe god, awesome, or something like that
listen to jess greenburg version, she also did it live and did it well

Simply Brilliant! This cover has that lovely elastic feel of hendrix' playing style that most other renditions simply can't convey. Great straight forward vocal too.
Elastic is a beautiful description actually.
Love that there are no effects
Dude, all your covers are amazing, but the hendrix's ones... damn, that's pure gold! Your original songs are also great
Its based on the srv version
Still one of the greatest songs ever written, and you did it justice. The acoustic timbre and your vocals make it.
Not just one of the best covers of this song but the best cover of any song ever....that was outstanding mate...
I'm sure Jimi is smiling and clapping his hands for your version! The best I've ever seen along with Concrete Blonde's version! Greetings from Brazil!
I come back to this cover often. Beautifully sung and played.
This young man is the absolute best I have ever seen covering such an iconic song. Wow!
I almost passed this over thinking, oh another Little Wing cover. Then I noticed your guitar looks like my OM-15 so I thought I’ll give you a listen to see how it sounds on a Mahogany Martin.

Thanks!
That's an utterly insane cover man , hands down one of the best I've heard
Great played, with soul and dedication, not needed to mention your excellent technical skills on 🎸
Don't ask me why, but somehow I didn't expect you to sing along with the song. 😅 Awesome cover! Huge respect for the fact that you manage to play guitar and sing at the same time on this song. 🖤
I can play this song also , but I couldn’t imagine being able to sing it and play it as well as Corey , he’s a true talent both on guitar and vocals .
Super, interprétation acoustique et voix géniale. Cette petite Martin est tout simplement magnifique. Grand merci.
This is a masterpiece
Man, this is crazy! This song has thousands of notes and you did it perfectly! Amazing!
Outstanding.
Hard earned talent. Well done on every level. Beyond professional grade.
Thank you for sharing your work and incredible talent!

Wonderful. Beautiful. ❤ Better than anything I've heard on the voice. Jimi was beyond any words I can do him justice with.
Wow!!!
Great cover
I love your variation on some of the chords and vocals. I've heard many covers of this song on RUclips but your very particular style comes close to perfection.
Love your acoustic covers of non-acoustic songs. You're living proof that unlikely things are possible. Love your vibe!
Probably the best cover of little wing I’ve ever heard, bravo sir!

No words dude. The best rendition I've seen.

absolute masterclass of guitar playing and singing. Best cover of little wing ever!
One of my all time favorites. I love the way you Corfify it.🎶🙃😏😎

This is precisely why Jimi is considered the greatest..Period..Little Wing Is a straight Masterpiece...Great job Corey..Killed it brother
This is me again xD this is stunning godamit, and how you resolved it, just perfect!! don't know that chord at the end, it created such a beautiful resolution, yet the song comes to an end I have that feeling that the little wing is still flying and for eternity.
One of my fav songs masterfully executed. A worthy successor to Hendrix and SRV. TY sir, keep em coming :)
I've heard hundreds of covers of this song over the years and this is by far the best. Well done!
Wow!!! 😱😱 One of the best Little Wings cover in the universe! And he's singing too..!? With all the fill and complex playing? The god of music is unfair.. 😅
so good Bruddah, Your voice and guitar playing is just so good
Beautiful cover, great playing and singing
Ive managed to learn the entirety of the guitar part of little wing, but to sing along with it seems nearly impossible! great job
not even SRV dared to do it
Phenomenal. Jimi would be proud. Rock on brother
Holy chit Corey! You brought the frigging house down with this tour-de-force rendition.
I was nodding my head and tapping my feet like a right looney following those richly layered interwoven melodies all sailing atop that amazing staccato picking. Subbed and liked fer sure.
Absolutely STUNNING performance bro!
No sé que daría por poder tocar está canción pero me queda muy grande. Excelente interpretación.
IMMENSE talent. That was absolutely beautiful. Perfect mix of nailing the song 100% but also with your own original spin on it. So good.
