After listing to Larry on a good set of earphones I said to myself, this guy is the real deal. Sitting on his porch......no concert stage, no light show, no smoke or flames of fire, no array of effect foot pedals, ......just a hard-working man who expresses his love completely and masterfully unifying with his instrument and becoming one inspiration. There is something lacking today in the music industry and I believe it is what Larry unveiled. His unpretentious manner of delivery showed he did not have to prove anything.
Some of the Best players (of guitar, lap & pedal steels, bass, etc,etc,etc.) I've ever heard in my 70+ years of life..... Never even been On, nor played "on stage" in their entire lives. Absolutely Incredible talent "out there" in the "hinterlands"... who've only played for their own enjoyment, and for those around them.
Larry thank you so much for posting this.....I have tears of joy in my eyes just thinking about how beautiful America can be right next to the violence/hatred/and racism......your music is full of love and joy. The birds are enjoying it very much as well.
I've been around the internet for over 15 years looking at everything from A-Z. My music collection is almost 300 gigabytes on an external hard drive and growing. This video is one of the Top 3 BEST videos I've ever seen. I could literally listen to it all day.
@@justinsane8000 No real amp-- (tho it was long ago); I'm pretty sure it was a line 6 amp modeling pedal straight into a JBL Eon 10" powered monitor. I could be wrong...The pedal settings were extremely tweaked....Outside gives the sound some of the 'air' missing on direct-to-board recording, I think.
Thank you! (YT tells me some of my replies never went anywhere, going back for years!!$?!!!--so if you got 2 THANK YOUs, I mean 'em both! More soon ! )

Little Wing is one of my favorite all time tunes and I've listened to every version I've been able to find, which is a lot, and this is truly one of the best and one I keep coming back too. Can't thank you enough for sharing this. I hope another 7 yrs from now this find you well Mr Hutcherson
you know Larry..of all the different versions of little wing (I consider myself an expert too! I love the song) so ive heard so many but you above all I can see Jimi maybe looking down outta the clouds and sayin..."Yeah Man.."! (smile)
Okay....wait a minute. You had me all along cos' Hendrix is the man. But then the way you rolled the bar down the strings.... blew my mind. This is beyond awesome. Great version Larry. Keep posting!
Thank you! (YT tells me some of my replies never went anywhere, going back for years!!$?!!!--so if you got 2 THANK YOUs, I mean 'em both! More soon ! )
@@lhutcherson WOW Larry I would love to hear these tracks without Drums. I would love to work with you I'm a Drummer 40th year Anniversay this year started at 11 I'm 51 now. This song puts my mind at ease and is a true work of Art.
It's sad when Lady Gaga has like 20 trillion views and amazing talent like this has only 24k. Amazing rendition and very well played. Love the song and you played the hell out of it sir!
Thank you! (YT tells me some of my replies never went anywhere, going back for years!!$?!!!--so if you got 2 THANK YOUs, I mean 'em both! More soon ! )
This is beautiful. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your music. Oh... and the first time you just let go of the slide and let gravity take over... I'm moved.
David O' Connor Same, I always look at lap guitar but always end up back here listening to this and when i can't find this video, i get a little upset! But alas i always end up back here! Such Skill and such an instrument
I wish I lived in your nieghborhood so I could go outside on warm summer nights and listen to you play there on your porch Thank you for posting this Video
Really outstanding performance and very original rendition! You've got great technique and a lot of cool, sneaky ways at achieving your objectives! This gives me a strong impetus to try out a lap steel, but I'm no spring chicken and might be a tad too impatient! If I can find something not too pricy that doesn't sound like something not too pricey, I think I'd have to take the plunge! Thanks for the inspiration!
Make a run at it. I am not young either. My dad's 1953 Fender just sat around for most of my life, then I started playing it, liked it, picked up a Stringmaster for parts and it was an old Peter Kleinow guitar, so that one stayed as is, weird tuning, home made knee levers and all. WD has started selling the ashtrays, so I bought some 38 year old Sipo wood and have 3 or 4 of the 8 string Fender style lap steels now.
I can't believe that after years on TH-cam I've discovered this only now... Amazing, true musicality, just beautiful! It's what we need in these times to see what being human might be about...
i sent a comment on this video a while back. hardly a day goes by that i do not watch this video. my audio and visual senses do not seem to be able to get enough of this video. the attack, the harmonics, the release of the bar overcomes my brain with joy. my two year old granddaughter came into the room recently when i started to watch the video, she climbed onto my lap and did not move or lose focus of the music. i will buy her a lap steel. thank you for your talent.
Hutch that was just too much, man! :) Superb! I'm just starting out with the lap steel. This would be where I would aim to end up.... But as I am "Vintage 1954", don't know if I've got enough life left to get this good ;)
I'm teachable, but it just takes longer for skills to become fixed in the old noggin than before. My memory is not what it was. I will learn a new lick, say, but a week later I can't remember it. I mastered three languages before I was 40 and got to an acceptable level on three more. Since then, I have struggled to learn another one!
berni armstrong "Can't remember a lick". Learn the structure of the chord tones and all the paths between them on the instrument. Lots of practice to fix them in your mind. Sing [and be able to name] notes as you play them. On a good day, your playing will become an act of subconscious inspiration.
Smooth, so nice. It's playing like this that makes me pick up my guitar again..... thanks for the inspiration Larry. On a side note, only a dip$hit would give this rendition a thumbs down!!
I discovered this humble "master class" over 3 years ago and keep coming back to hear this craftsman ply his trade. Incredible! Simply Incredible stuff. My hat is off and my glass is raised.
just come across this video, all i can say is when the bar goes free JIMI'S hand is not far away. outstanding! i am 60 years old and have listened to JIMI since purple haze first came across am radio. thank you
Larry...........just stumbled across this when looking for something else...............bloody brilliant matey................all the very best from the UK
I was so in to what I was hearing, which was beautiful. Then when you rolled the slide down, that's where I knew I wanted to play just like you some day. What a mentor. Thank you.....
Thank you again, Larry. I watch/listen to this when I need it, and I just don't know how you capture what I feel in my heart when I hear you play this...but you do. Rastafari.
Does anyone find their self coming back to this wonderful masterpiece after all these years.
Derek Martin yeah yeahs
YES....
Absolutely. Just started playing my old Supro lapsteel and I want to learn this awesome song. Can anyone tell me how the tuning is made up?
yes
Always..

Watch playing for a change song around the world. They got some good ones.
I too just stumbled across this masterful slide playing, this is my dream to sit on my porch and play my guitar....Thank You Larry
Its Oct 2023 and I've only just found this.
I'm absolutely dumbstruck by this mans talent.
Humbling comment, thank you, and thanks for taking the time to comment.
This is absolutely insane, it starts so much an understatement, and suddenly Jimi jumps in. Fabulous playing and impeccable technique. Incredible.
Thanks!!

That being said, someone please holler if you know what amp/effects he's using!
what else do you think is high up there?

Jimi’s groovin in rock and roll heaven to this Larry….awesome work…👏
I hope the Master would approve.
I love lap steel. I love Jimi's "Little Wing". Never thought the two would come together like this.
Thank you! (YT tells me some of my replies never went anywhere, going back for years!!$?!!!--so if you got 2 THANK YOUs, I mean 'em both! More soon ! )
OMG how have I not seen this! I cried all the way through this! Simply masterful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought his licks were on par or better than what Buddy Emmons played how has he remained in the shadows WOW with a lot of!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jefferybernard4800 And he's on his front porch!
Tuning is an Em7 with E on lowest + G on highest--8-string!
man I just found this and appreciate you posting up the tuning. Great performance
Larry, you are the best lap steel player on planet EARTH!!! Incredible talent.

If I came up on this front porch I'd never leave
Mind = blown. This is the kind of music that brings people together. I'm sure that Jimmy would approve. Gorgeous.
thanks for ther kind words, glad you liked it.
Every time I watch/listen to Larry's version of this, I get torn up inside... It's beautiful. Thank you Larry...
I love this and what other people think about it does not matter to me. What other people think about anything does not matter to me.
Thanks!
I don't know what was the most fun, listening to the music? or watching Larry as he plays?, A master at work here and the bar roll superb.
OK...I know I've said it before... but this is still my favourite lap steel performance ever - never fails to send shivers down my spine.
Little Wing is one of my favorite all time tunes and I've listened to every version I've been able to find, which is a lot, and this is truly one of the best and one I keep coming back too. Can't thank you enough for sharing this. I hope another 7 yrs from now this find you well Mr Hutcherson
This is the real deal it's so good it just makes me crazy that I can't play like this but I just love love love his sound and style
When I can afford a house, I want a neighbor like this! Great feel, playing and tone Larry..
that was wicked! yess!! just yes!!! everything!! yesss!!! damn!!
you know Larry..of all the different versions of little wing (I consider myself an expert too! I love the song) so ive heard so many but you above all I can see Jimi maybe looking down outta the clouds and sayin..."Yeah Man.."! (smile)
More like HELL yeah!
Sweet Gawd ,that was sublime.....wish it would never end.....
Thanks, glad you liked it!, very nice comment...
Okay....wait a minute. You had me all along cos' Hendrix is the man. But then the way you rolled the bar down the strings.... blew my mind. This is beyond awesome. Great version Larry. Keep posting!
Larry still listening in 2024. Needless to say liked and subscribed!
We're all still here, aren't we! Thank you!
Just when I think I've seen everything, you roll the slide down the strings to great effect. Terrific!
I noticed that awesome trick. Smooth.
Thank you! (YT tells me some of my replies never went anywhere, going back for years!!$?!!!--so if you got 2 THANK YOUs, I mean 'em both! More soon ! )
I don’t even know how to speak to this. That was absolutely gorgeous…incredible…just good to my soul. Unreal!
Man that was Incredible.....I have listened to to many covers of Little Wing and that was the first lap steel version that rocked my world......
Gorgeous. Made my whole morning. I'll be humming this all day.
+Woody Phillips Thank you --makes my evening!
I keep coming back to this video. It is one of my absolute favorites on all of TH-cam. Thank you for this exquisite rendition of a beautiful song.
Awesome Larry! I think your the most talented Train Conductor known to man.
Thanks for listening! New stuff coming!

3:29 Coolest trick ever!
Could have filled a shot glass with my tears just now! utterly magnificent, stunning!
Stumbled upon this at just the right time!
I could listen to this for just about forever!
Larry, thank you again. What I don't understand is why 20 people gave it a thumbs down...
+Jaxun1 Thank you very much!
The world would be a better place if this had 12,249,232 views!!!!!
+Scooter Lee I think we're all working on it, one view at a time. :-)
thats all?
what if it had 12,249,233 views? would it become too mainstream after that?
@Geocentric not with that attitude
Beautiful, a real artist.
Thanks, very glad that you liked it...
It's sad when Lady Gaga has like 20 trillion views and amazing talent like this has only 24k. Amazing rendition and very well played. Love the song and you played the hell out of it sir!
Lady Gag Ga just shows what a poison marketing is.
LG is an amazing talent.

best Hendrix cover i've seen on youtube
Bill Gold agreed
Bill Gold thank you!
Especially at 1:20. Awsome
Great job, Larry!

Excellent emotive playing.
Excellent Larry. Made my night.
This is absolutely beautiful. I keep coming back to this video.

I love how you can hear the birds when he turns off the gain pedal... : )
and the windchimes...how cool is that? Simple beauty.
One giant goosebump..........omg
Woah, thanks for letting me know. More soon!
That was sensational my friend eargasmic

+the1realanalogman thank you !!
+the1realanalogman You could just get an old acoustic and a nut extender, and you have a playable lap steel for next to nothing.
$60 harmonia lap steels are on sale all the time on Reverb. I just got one and it's definitely playable for such a cheap price!

My dad's 1953 Fender just sat around for most of my life, then I started playing it, liked it, picked up a Stringmaster for parts and it was an old Peter Kleinow guitar, so that one stayed as is, weird tuning, home made knee levers and all.

Fantastic.
Jimi would dig this.
You keep posting your work. And we'll keep lap-ing it up!
Which make and model are you playing here?
Can you play the slide guitar solo to "Rocket Queen" by Guns 'N Roses on the steel guitar please?

Great playing indeed. I am starting too and I am a similar vintage. Never too late. I think the extra appeal is to be able to sit down. :)
Not thought of that Daniel, but you're probably right ;)
True, and I live by that motto. But it gets harder to teach that old dog new tricks ;)

Divine! And the slide roll no hands is boss.
Very tasteful. A lovely way to spend a mellow afternoon on the porch.
Humble thanks.
Larry really is the shiznitz. Pure talent and love for the music. A riveting one man show. Thank you sir!
Thank YOU sir! More soon!

And thanks so much for the compliment!!
Fantastic tone, pitch, musicality, everything!
This is so good, I will listen to it for years.
