Little Wing
SRV's cover of Hendrix's Little Wing is a masterclass in blues tone and dynamics. His Stratocaster through a Vibroverb with a Tube Screamer produces a warm, singing tone that honors Hendrix while adding SRV's characteristic power and aggression. The tone is fatter and more driven than Hendrix's original, with heavier strings providing more body and sustain. SRV's version features extensive chord melody work that demands both clean articulation and overdrive sustain.
