When you sang "on through the clouds", I teared up. Honest to God. That was the most beautifully sung lyric to any song I've ever heard whether live, in a studio, or on a TH-cam video. I wish you would upload more to your Spotify because I love Ever After but it gets old to listen to it over and over everyday. I am serious though, I actually did tear up a little bit with you sang that. For anyone else that wants to hear it, it's from 1:25 to 1:30. Love your music and your channel man, never stop.
I must have watched this 20 times. it is not a direct copy of Hendrix notes but the soul is spot on. Hendrix himself never played it the same twice. the best cover on youtube hands down
I'm not gonna say this is the best Little Wing cover I've ever heard simply because I don't think anyone's art can be better or worse than someone else's, but this has touched me more than any performance of any song has in a long time. I don't subscribe to people often, hardly at all, but you've got a new subscriber in me. Cheers man
@@austinloveall9739 I JUST found him this morning, too. Took up my 6:30 am meditation window, but ... small price to pay! :) I'm a singer and I needed this inspiration.
I've attempted this song so many times (and I've got the SRV tab!) but never came close. Great to hear a player with a natural feel for it. Very well done!
still listening almost two years later and i must say that you sir are an amazing man with a great talent and the way you organized this song is simply perfect. you would've made ol jimmy PROUD. also does anyone else think the clean solo is by far the best part?? just imagine how emotional and powerful that could be with a full band behind it. ...hit me up if you ever wanna try it.
Thanks man. I always practice on acoustic and clean electric so that when i hit the afterburners, its still clean and legible. I do it with my band now and then. love the tune.
Well played get us expecting jimi hendrix then blow our minds with your own distinct Individual version of the song that is absolutely fantastic in a different way.
I've been following Quay every since the Walmart video and I've been playing guitar since I was six years old and now I'm 64 and he's got more Talent in his little finger then I do altogether but I have one thing in life that I've learned is that I should have played one style of music and kept with it it's perfectly fine to learn all types of music from country blues rock classical and so on but you can not serve two masters he's so good with the Blues in the Jimi hendrix-style rock and roll that I believe if he sticks with that one thing like Stevie Ray Vaughan did that he's really going to go far he has a beautiful voice in a very unique playing style of his own and I pray that one day he starts headlining shows because I believe in him with all my heart. He definitely needs a break he is definitely paid his dues. Your friend always Johnny
All I can say is this a mighty fine performance Clay. You have a great talent. So far, all I've heard is this and your "Walmart Performance", but I'll be hearing more. Although probably unexpected, playing that toy guitar brought you the attention you deserve. It showed musicians and non-musicians that you have something special. Roll with it son. Respectfully...Bob Coltrain Kennedy
WOW!! That was an amazing cover of a great song made even greater by your gifted playing. Have you ever done a “Voo Doo Child” cover. Would definitely be interested in seeing that
Very, very good! I grew up listening to great blues, thanks to my father. I lost him recently and miss him terribly. If you don't mind, at your leisure, laying down Life without you, I sure would appreciate it. From a lifelong guitar player, (well, since 6 yrs. old, anyway), thanks for the consideration. Keep up the good work. - Ben
I am sorry for your loss. I haven't ever tried to play Life Without you, surprisingly. but i will give it some attention and see what i can do. thanks. and blessings
awesome dude like your style and personality in your playing I did a rendition of little wing the other day at a pawn shop on a Yamaha pacifica they marked down to $41.00 I saw the girl/clerk talking to the manager as they were watching me play and after I got done I said I love it I'll take it and they both looked at me and said yes you will because we want you to have the guitar we are giving it to you for free that was awesome playing, I smiled and said thnx and they also gave me a new set of ernie ball strings as well it was a great experience. music is power.
yeah i used to try to emulate them as closely as i could until i realized that there is no originality or reason for anyone to listen it because the master has already done it. Im just trying to make a mark. haha
good Lord you are talented. I usually envy and lust for the skills you have, but this hit my feels too much to feel anything mischievous. Please don't stop doing what you do. For all of us. If I had to make a fan request, I would say something by Andy Timmons band, like Move On or Resolution
Clay you are the man! I just found your stuff and you kill it. Will you please do "Gary Clark Jr. When my train pulls in" (acoustic version) ..I feel your style would just be unbelievable!
FN MIND BLOWING!!!! (i got a strat just like that red one in the background mine has the 2 single pick ups n the double hum bucker on the bottom tho, wonder if its also a fender strat american series)
Clay ! I enjoyed it. Good point. Thanks.God does not judge people by righteousness,one stone is white,the other is black...God provides all the same mercy,it is necessary as you develop your talent...You are a real guitarist !
Hey bro just found ur channel. I think u nailed the Hendrix over SRV tone and style both. U seem really authentic... and that’s the most important thing in music!
Your TONE man is awesome!! CHILLS who cares if a little Stevie bleeds thru, Like you said its who you are!!!
i thought the very same
thank you so much. I guess you could say I am still trying to find my sound, but I work tirelessly on it. thanks for the love.
Jesus man...I haven't heard this song played so well in a long ass time. Please keep at it man, theres something special about you.
thank you kindly. I just do what i do with plenty of soul

Thanks for pointing that out, so nice. You can listen to this song as a normal track without video with a YT premium/music subscription.
dude ur choice in chords literally are so out of this world beautiful! ur really channeling ur inner jimi in that area
and Eric Gales
I’ve had this saved for like 5-6 years and listen to it still every now and then. Fukn love it
Damn man! It felt like two legends on this cover! Stevie Wonder on vocals and Jimi on guitar!
I must have watched this 20 times. it is not a direct copy of Hendrix notes but the soul is spot on. Hendrix himself never played it the same twice. the best cover on youtube hands down
thanks. I never play it the same either. haha
I'm not gonna say this is the best Little Wing cover I've ever heard simply because I don't think anyone's art can be better or worse than someone else's, but this has touched me more than any performance of any song has in a long time.

i am quite honored my friend.
He’s pretty good!! Just found him and hope he’s doing well!! I’m gonna keep listening!!

Bro. I love how you put your own spin on it! Absolutely entrancing. Like honestly. Amazing
Stay the course in the pursuit of your craft - very talented
This guy sounds like the lead singer of Sublime but plays like SRV...
He specifically stated he was going to try NOT to play like SRV in this. Geez man, if youre gonna hate... Pay TF attention
Thought your guitar playing was great, then you started singing and I was blown away!
Well played get us expecting jimi hendrix then blow our minds with your own distinct Individual version of the song that is absolutely fantastic in a different way.
thank you. I try to put my own spin on things so they don't just sound regurgitated.
kick ass!! if ever in Kansas city must jam together. big music scene here. lots of jam sessions all over the city. nice job on the wing
what are some venues up there that you think i would work well in?
Great job. Love the 80s MIJ Strat... highly underrated guitar.
but soooooo badass

A tribute that even Jimi would be happy with!
I can't wait for your cover album... dang boy ...u got it !
Your awsome Clay, wife and I will definately buy your upcomming Cd.
one of the most beautiful covers of this song I've ever heard
Man, you are legend in the making.
I literally almost cried listening to this... This is an amazing version dude! How I wish I could play nearly as good as you do ugh :(
That lick at 3:35 blue my mind, and I've been playing for over 20 years. Lol. Hats off to you bro.
That tone is pretty amazing.
First time hearing that song!!!! I loved that sooooooo much!!!

Huge fan!!!!! Stevie ray and Jimi would be proud
I watched this 5 times and I missed my train for it, damn this is amazing.

When you come alive and do the 16ths, Stevie is looking down and nodding his head with approval
Awesome Clay! You are an amazing musician and artist.
thanks.

thanks for giving me a chance
One of the most beautiful songs ever and an amazing job. You possess a gift my friend and I hope it does great things for you!
I appreciate the fact that you added some quick EVH hammer-ons into the song. Didn't copy Jimi's or SRV -- made it your own.... Well done, sir.
yeah i used to try to emulate them as closely as i could until i realized that there is no originality or reason for anyone to listen it because the master has already done it. Im just trying to make a mark. haha
U ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY HAVE TO AUDITION FOR THE VOICE!! DUDE COME ON U HAVE MAD SKILLS!!
the thing is. I have auditioned for all of those type shows and none of them called back after the vip auditions. despite saying they would.
You don't need them

WOW, you've got it going on young man ! truly inspiring..
