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.
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!!$?!!!--so if you got 2 THANK YOUs, I mean 'em both! More soon ! )
Larry thank you so much for posting this.....I have tears of joy in my eyes just thinking about how beautiful America can be right next to the violence/hatred/and racism......your music is full of love and joy. The birds are enjoying it very much as well.
you know Larry..of all the different versions of little wing (I consider myself an expert too! I love the song) so ive heard so many but you above all I can see Jimi maybe looking down outta the clouds and sayin..."Yeah Man.."! (smile)
Thank you! (YT tells me some of my replies never went anywhere, going back for years!!$?!!!--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
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!
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 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.
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.
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!!
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
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.
Incredibly beautiful, moving and haunting! I never thought a song as wonderful and well known could ever be played on a lap-steel guitar but happily have been proven sooooo wrong! You've really made this song your own Mr. Hutcherson - KUDOS!!
The real crazy thing about this video, is that he just sat down jamming those solos... But we have to remember that these solos are built on musicality and years and years of practice of course... I will listen to this video for years and years and years.... :) That's how good this is!
This is the real deal. I've been playing slide for years and this is one of the best tracks I've heard in a long time. Thanks Larry for sharing your gift.
I’m reminded of Jeff Beck as I listen to this man’s interpretation of the classic. This is not to diminish him by comparison because he is a unique artist in his own right, but rather to recognize his brilliant approach to playing his instrument. I agree with the others, he really emotes through the music.
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.
WOW!! it seems us youngsters have something to shoot for after all, speaking of vintage, i'm from 1946 :)) i've been wanting some insperation, looks like i have found some, thanks Larry, keep er up son
Well, I started to watch and listen thinking I might be able to hang with my playing along then I quickly realized around the 1:40-2:00 mark that I'm not even in the same playing universe as this guy. This man has mastered his craft.
@@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.
So nice, surprised that beautiful playing came from front porch picking, so much heart and soul. Inspired me to work on my lap steel. Thanks for putting this out, can't get enough of it.
love the original things you do that are a true joy to behold. .the bar gliding down the strings by itself ...and you pinged notes out of those strings in every way imaginable with a gifted passion. Thanks for sharing! !
I still come back to this video every month or so to watch it again. And every time I see it there are certain parts that always give me the most wonderful goosebumps. So much feel and love into your playing. I respect that a lot. Cheers!
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 ! )

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..
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?

For some reason I've never seen this until 10 seconds ago. I am humbled, and thank you very much!

I love lap steel. I love Jimi's "Little Wing". Never thought the two would come together like this.

When I can afford a house, I want a neighbor like this! Great feel, playing and tone Larry..
Every time I watch/listen to Larry's version of this, I get torn up inside... It's beautiful. Thank you Larry...
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!
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.
Larry, you are the best lap steel player on planet EARTH!!! Incredible talent.
Thank you! (YT tells me some of my replies never went anywhere, going back for years!!$?!!!--so if you got 2 THANK YOUs, I mean 'em both! More soon ! )
Thank you! (YT tells me some of my replies never went anywhere, going back for years!!$?!!!--so if you got 2 THANK YOUs, I mean 'em both! More soon ! )
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 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.
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
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......
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
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.
Larry still listening in 2024. Needless to say liked and subscribed!
We're all still here, aren't we! Thank you!
One of the best improvs of slide over little wing ever. Larry killing it 👍🏻
Thanks for the very nice compliment!
I could listen to this for just about forever!
best Hendrix cover i've seen on youtube
Bill Gold agreed
Bill Gold thank you!
Especially at 1:20. Awsome
Outstanding! Bravo, Larry...greetings from Memphis, Tennessee.
Thank you :)
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
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!
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.
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 ! )
Larry, thank you again. What I don't understand is why 20 people gave it a thumbs down...
+Jaxun1 Thank you very much!
Gorgeous. Made my whole morning. I'll be humming this all day.
+Woody Phillips Thank you --makes my evening!
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.
I love how you can hear the birds when he turns off the gain pedal... : )
and the windchimes...how cool is that? Simple beauty.
Very tasteful. A lovely way to spend a mellow afternoon on the porch.
Humble thanks.
Jeeezus, that's the absolute best lap playing I've ever heard in my life!!!!! I'm stunned!
3:29 Coolest trick ever!
Excellent emotive playing.
Why do I get the feeling you could do this all day .... and probably do. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I thought I'd replied to everything, but apparently not....??
Thanks!!
Mr. Hutcherson, my friend, that was absolutely, over the top, incredible. I salute you.
This is absolutely beautiful. I keep coming back to this video.
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
this video makes me really happy
Jimi’s groovin in rock and roll heaven to this Larry….awesome work…👏
I hope the Master would approve.
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.....
DAMN! This is beautiful! :)
That sound is pure magic! :)
Bruno Coelho Thanks, glad you liked it!
Bruno Coelho thanks!
That was sensational my friend eargasmic

This is so good, I will listen to it for years.
Thank you, Sir!

+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!

I just picked up a vintage Supro for $300.
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 ;)
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 ;)
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.

Larry you are the juice
Thanyou for posting this sir. Love it Hendrix meets Nashville finally!
Thank you, it's one sweet classic!
Smooth, so nice. It's playing like this that makes me pick up my guitar again..... thanks for the inspiration Larry.

Can you play the slide guitar solo to "Rocket Queen" by Guns 'N Roses on the steel guitar please?
Love this great use of a lap steel Larry you play wonderfully can’t stop coming back to hear this😎

Dreamy. I could listen to this over and over again all day long and never get tired of hearing it.
Beautiful man....Jimmie must have a tear in his eye
Hi. You should have called this BIG Wing.
Nice touch Larry!!! So much feeling!!! Great and unique too!!!

My hat is off and my glass is raised.
+abarth1959 Very kind, thanks!!
Just want you to know how much I enjoyed that sir. Your passion for playing shows in your music.
Beautiful job!
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.
Best thing I saw and heard in a long fn while! Mad props to you Larry and your interptetation of this beautiful song.
Much love brother!!!

Blown away every time I watch this guy! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Needed this again Larry. Everytime I hear your version, it brings me to tears. Thank you for playing this.
Thank you for saying this.
No need to thank me. It's the other way around... love that beautiful sound, Larry.
WOW... I keep listening to this again and again, Larry. Thank you for playing this! It is amazing!
That slide toss was f**king awesome. Beautiful work.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Always such a nice touch. You been an inspiration to many through the years. Thank you for your gifts Larry.
