Monte Montgomery: Little Wing acoustic instrumental


The amazing acoustic guitar wizard Monte Montgomery plays his own style instrumental cover version of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing live in the Austin Music Network studio.This clip captures a bit of the excitement of what it's like to see him live, but you really just have to be there to really feel it. Trust me, just go see him live whenever possible. You can also get better quality audio of this same song by buying his self-titled CD.

About that recording Montesays; "As a teenager, I really became enthralled with Stevie Ray Vaughn. Both of us living in Texas, his music was hard to miss. His posthumously released version of Little Wing hit me very hard. I started just playing around with the song, not knowing the words, it eventually evolved into this epic jam. Stevie's tribute to Hendrix has and will forever be my tribute to Stevie."

if you want to see some good guitar playing, type " opiumtent " in the search bar.

His whole redition of this song is awsome. The little lick at a 1:15 was slick among many others.

I definitely think he lit his guitar on fire before. If you notice at the very end, he broke all of his strings; he's clearly into beating up his guitar for stage performances.
