Please excuse the sloppy playing. I just finished this one, and it's my interpretation of Little Wing, combining various styles of the many guitarists who influence me. Lets see if you guys can guess who they are... Heh. (Hint... Hendrix is not one of them. I just like this song...):p And it's basically a tribute to all of them.

It took me 4 hours to do this. But I'm rather satisfied with the result. Let me know what you guys think. Please feel free to critique the playing. I'm always trying to learn more.:D

But this goes to show the various styles that the Silo Spec can do. And btw, this is an SSS Silo Spec thru a PodXTLive...:D

I can't tell who your influences are specifically, but if I had to guess I'd say Andy Timmons and Eric Johnson.
Nice playing! No critique here.

Heh... Well, Andy Timmons is one for sure, but EJ's not really my thing. :p More likely EC, SRV, Vai and JP...:D But playing like the last 2 is a bit of a tall order for me... Heh.

And who says Single Coils can't rock? Heheheheheheh....

Lionel, sounds great man. You're a monster player. In the clip did you switch pickups alot, cuz through headphones I think I can definitely hear the toggle being flicked back and forth. I do that all the time too when I play.

Thanks Phil. Well, I did do plently of pup switching, but they weren't all in one take. I did this stanza by stanza... (I'd DIE if I did this in one take):D Almost each stanza is a different pup position, hence the different tones.:p

I definitely heard the SRV bits and some that reminded me of EC and JP. Very nice stuff Lionel. Sounds like you were going after doing something like a G3 jam in which you played all the parts yourself. Cool!

Actually I heard the EC and SRV in there but wasn't sure if it was just because I've heard them play that song so many times.
