STARBIRD -- my latest album of original music:
• Starbird (2022)
WEBSITE: coreyheuvel.com
It's taken me way too long to make this video. You guys have been asking me for me to do this song for years -- well, here it is -- my acoustic cover of "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix. One of Jimi's most gorgeous songs but painfully short in the original. I love that Stevie Ray Vaughan made the ultimate extended version drawn out to just the right length. His cover is pure perfection. I decided to keep mine short and sweet, the way I think Jimi would have played it on an acoustic. I hope you enjoy this take.
Originally released on the Axis: Bold As Love album in 1967 by the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

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 TH-cam 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.
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.
@@joshuaquartermain1889 I was turning green but I thought that was just envy. Might not know my own strength.
What a great acoustic sound. This must be near the top of Little Wing covers.
SRV's version in number 1 by a mile
@@waynekerr8003 srv the goat. 🎸💯🔥
@@waynekerr8003 always kind of found it overrated (don't crucify me)
@@waynekerr8003 I think srv would absolutely love this
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
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
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: th-cam.com/video/Yl6FwpTm1PA/w-d-xo.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!
Best cover of Little Wing I've ever heard.

Steve Ray Vaughn
You’re kidding right?
-Stevie Ray
-Hiram Bullock
-Monte Montgomery
Just to start
@@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.
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
Ever heard of Stevie ray vaugn
Monte montgomery does a brilliant acoustic version
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
@@whiteyfisk9769 Go listen to your Justin Bieber and your Taylor Swift you bubblegum chewing bhutt clown.
You have become one with the guitar, you have transcended Corey...
brilliant
The power of that specific song!!
This is actually absurdly good. Ridiculously clean for an acoustic
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.
From time to time I always look for new Little Wing covers. This one is really, really awesome. Thanks for sharing all this awesomeness.
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
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 :)
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!
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.
00015M for mahogany solid!
I've heard hundreds of covers of this song over the years and this is by far the best. Well done!
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
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
Stunning
I come back to this cover often. Beautifully sung and played.
Hey Corey, this is my favorite Jimi song and this is one of the best covers i've heard. Rock on!
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 TH-cam... great for the 👍🏻 however, probably not the truth. Check it and see for yourself. ✌🏻❤️🎶
Sounds awesome Corey, Little Wing is such an iconic tune.
You must be very happy proud Dad . I love Corey. He is guitarist and singer 🎸👌🏻
@@luaibazerbashi that is a true statement lol
That was incredible! Hands down best acoustic Little Wing cover I've ever heard. Just wow!
That was an awesome rendition of Little Wing, maybe the best I've ever heard.
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 .
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.
Check out Justin Johnson doing it on an acoustic 12 string
✌🏻❤️🎶
No words dude. The best rendition I've seen.
IMMENSE talent. That was absolutely beautiful. Perfect mix of nailing the song 100% but also with your own original spin on it. So good.
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.
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
absolutely, ABSOLUTELY the best version of Jimi's songs on acoustic! Top! Thanks for your efforts!
Thats gotta be pretty much the best acoustic playing ive ever seen, regardless of song or genre. Im in awe.
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.
the first person said it isnt complex but the second person it is. im confused
I never get tired of this version, Holy shit!!! Complitely beatifull!!!
Still one of the greatest songs ever written, and you did it justice. The acoustic timbre and your vocals make it.
I don´t usually like Hendrix covers, but when I do, it sounds like this
just perfect, that is one of the most perfect covers of this I have seen, congratulations and keep it up
absolute masterclass of guitar playing and singing. Best cover of little wing ever!
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!
It's sooo refreshing to see a cover that is not just an instrumental. Great cover bro!
That's an utterly insane cover man , hands down one of the best I've heard
Mate. That was absolutely pure. Well done!!!!
Love your acoustic covers of non-acoustic songs. You're living proof that unlikely things are possible. Love your vibe!
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!
Not just one of the best covers of this song but the best cover of any song ever....that was outstanding mate...
The BEST acoustic cover ever!! Totally personalized and heartfelt!!! Gave me chills...
Bruhhh here I was happy to just play the intro decently, but here you come with the expressiveness, the extra notes fleshing out the chords, the swing in your timing, and the crispness of your fingering. Well played. Very well played.
Man, this is crazy! This song has thousands of notes and you did it perfectly! Amazing!
This is easily the most impressive guitar/song cover of anything I’ve seen… great job :)
This is BY FAR the best acoustic version there is PERIOD!! Great Job Corey!!
I found this video in an attempt to learn to play this song and just sat back in awe and enjoyed it. Awesome.
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
this is the best cover of little wings! nothing can top this
Cut through that song like butter. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Great played, with soul and dedication, not needed to mention your excellent technical skills on 🎸
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
Outstanding.
Hard earned talent. Well done on every level. Beyond professional grade.
Thank you for sharing your work and incredible talent!
Sick!!!! Absolutely out of this world!!!!! Jimi is smiling down upon you......
Let me flatout say I nearly skipped this on TH-cam music but that first note did it for me. This is about as perfect as it gets. Now to sing on top is wild and the voice is a hot samurai blade through butter. I love Jimi. I love SRV. I love you Corey lol. Top 3 version in that order.
Probably the best cover of little wing I’ve ever heard, bravo sir!
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.
Bro I've listened to this so many times. Gets better and better. Straight fire my man
hands down my favorite cover. AMAZING !
Phenomenal. Jimi would be proud. Rock on brother
Dude, I mean, good lord. You're just touched that Little Wing feeling deep inside me. Bravo. You Beast.
I love how you keep the rythm rock steady while also singing.
Best Little Wing cover on the internet, keep it up!!
I love this song, this is one of the best renditions I've seen in a while. Amazing job and beautiful voice.
WOW !!! The best cover of this song I've heard since the original.
El mejor cover que escuche de Little Wing. Impecable!
This young man is the absolute best I have ever seen covering such an iconic song. Wow!
This is stunningly good and a fresh take on a classic. So many guitarists, myself included, butcher this song…but you crushed it. Stellar job
This guy is a star. A lot of talent and hard work went into this.
Wonderful. Beautiful. ❤ Better than anything I've heard on the voice. Jimi was beyond any words I can do him justice with.
Hands down the best Little wing cover I've ever heard, my hats off to you.
Stevie Ray Vaughn has entered the chat
@@heathbrower1523 Stevie Ray Vaughn doesn't have a TH-cam channel :)
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.
simple, accurate , one of the best covers i've heard, keep it up bro !
Damn. Awesome! Jimi hendrix was such an icon. Influenced so many artists. My man you sounded like Jimi, Mayer, and SRV all together. Madness.
2023... Still this is as insane as the Jimi Hendrix did!! You have an excellent and extraordinary did this by cover so far!! Hats off for you🎩👒
Absolutely killed it. Well done.
No words as always man, just never stop
A most excellent cover. Jimi would be proud.
One of my fav songs masterfully executed. A worthy successor to Hendrix and SRV. TY sir, keep em coming :)
Bro, the way you fill spaces with little bends and hammer ons is impeccable!! Great work
Certainly one of the best acoustic cover of Jimi Hendrix i've ever heard.
Absolutely STUNNING performance bro!
SRV had the best cover of this song until I saw this one...wow absolutely amazing.
Beyond excellent, Corey! Wow!
Impeccable.The phrase, "shock and awe," comes to mind.
so good Bruddah, Your voice and guitar playing is just so good
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… 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
OUTSTANDING. Wonderful arrangement.
Dude!
There's an acoustic cover I found on TH-cam 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.
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 all time favorites. I love the way you Corfify it.🎶🙃😏😎
We're lucky to have such pros playing guitar. I'm telling you just excellent work and dedication
This is precisely why Jimi is considered the greatest..Period..Little Wing Is a straight Masterpiece...Great job Corey..Killed it brother
Absolutely amazing. I've just started playing guitar, and i spend hours upon hours playing stuff that is nowhere near this level.
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.
Wow! What a great acoustic version!
