LarryUK Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Dare I say it....I think Orianthi's sounded best to me. The others just play all over the place, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I enjoyed Satch the most. He seemed to play lines more relevant to the song and to the chord changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT Bob Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 At the risk of getting shot down in flames - that was bloody awful..... One of my most favouritest songs, completely destroyed. For my money, the original takes some beating, but I also like Sting's version as well as the Derek & The Dominos classic. Just my 2 penn'orth! (ducks and runs for cover).....

I only like the original. I don't even like SRV's version. Way to much wankery. Let the song breath with it's vocal and lyrical beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Nobody could possibly beat Jimi's original solo that he did on a homemade "Leslie" cobbled together by Eric Barrett and a couple of studio techs from a Meccanno set.That version is as far as I'm concerned the prettiest "rock"song ever written and for anyone to try and better it is just gilding the lily.

FirstMeasure Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Orianthi is a minor league player in a major league game who's there because of her looks. Isn't there any homely women that can play guitar? Where's the female Buddy Whitington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich W Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I also like ... the Derek & The Dominos classic. I'm with you on the Clapton / Allman version of Little Wing on the Layla album ... a beautiful song, great vocal harmonies ... and Duane's slide work brings out the best in EC.

bluesguitar65 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Orianthi is a minor league player in a major league game who's there because of her looks. Isn't there any homely women that can play guitar? Where's the female Buddy Whitington? Thats easy. Way before Orianthi, Michael Jackson had another Female Guitarist in his band, Jennifer Batton. She is homely compared to Orianthi and she can play IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Let me be the voice of disagreement here yet again and say that, while Jimi's solo was fantastic and can never be beaten, all three guitarists did an admirable job of making the solos their own, making creative note choices, and, overall, really doing the song justice. To me, Orianthi's solo was really the weakest. Her phrasing was dull and one-dimensional, and her licks were fairly generic compared to the other two, although not obnoxiously so. I've never been a huge fan of Orianthi, though, and seeing this clip reminded me exactly why this is the case. To her credit, though, her technique is very good. Big whoop. Vai's solo sounded pretty good to me, especially in the beginning. I happen to enjoy his style and his take on melody--to me it's very different and unique, and so for me listening to Vai is always a real treat. His note choices were great, his phrasing was solid and effective, and, IMO, he put in plenty of "soul" (whatever the fxck that means.) In the end it got a little fast for a Hendrix song, but I still think his note choices were creative and that the speed of his playing didn't diminish its effectiveness in any way. Satch's solo really gave me the most pleasure, though. It was clearly pretty heartfelt, and it was the most melodically interesting of the three. His tone, also, was very smooth and really made his solo stand out from the other two. Again, Satch is fun to listen to for me because his notions on melody are relatively creative and his phrasing is smooth and purposeful. As far as melody, he did a great thing by referencing the melody of the song, which is certainly something that the other two could have done, which, I think, would have definitely improved their solos.

krock Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I liked Satch the best. I thought his solo was more in keeping with the song as already mentioned and I liked his tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT Bob Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Duane's slide work brings out the best in EC. Same can be said for the whole album, IMO. Without a doubt, one of THE finest examples of a "two-lead-guitar" album.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Topic, I'm not sure Little wing is the best vehicle to show off any of these guitarists. They should have jammed "The Attitude Song". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
