Kirk Lorange | Little Wing Slide Guitar improvisation

[caseguit]

I seem to hear Gilmour Stratocaster with his play Little Wing in classical melody WOW! very very good riff!!

[Kirkola]

Damn, just when I thought I was getting better.... very nice.

[collatz19]

if anyone gets time take a look at my guitar bluesy improv would love some feedback its on my channel thanks :)

[Jst0911]

Robbie mcintosh meets derek trucks! i like it. what od are you using?

[philjit1]

totally wicked...

[tunaonfire23]

great work! in some parts feels like Atom Heart Mother (my opinion)

[bLAStSuCaRTa]

who cares if its not the same JH melody ....hendrix is dead, and frankly his version is tired from over play for the last 40 years. Getting fucked up was more important to him than music anyhow [ thats who people call the greatest ever ??] . .......so hell yeah, this is really cool.

[AlbertoSteriofficial]

very nice

[Ovivierg3]

This is incredible work! Love the amount of distortion on it. keep it going!

[PooPooOnMyNewShoe]

BEAUTIFUL cover of this classic song.....Thank for sharing Kirk. Love your work:)

[albertdaniel1000]

If have sleepwalk by santo & johnny,can u post it ?

[yellowraven8]

AMAZING !!!!!



[planetalk]

@yellowraven8 ... thanks, mate.

[albertdaniel1000]

sweet

[planetalk]

@albertdaniel1000 ... glad you enjoyed it.

[MaxLeothaud]

This is beautiful man... Peace

[planetalk]

@MaxLeothaud ... thanks, and back at ya.

[pivotlines]

Nice playing but doesn't sound like Little Wing at all, maybe the same chord but the melody doesn't sound near as magical as Jimi Hendrix did it!

[planetalk]

@pivotlines ... thanks for the feedback.

[PooPooOnMyNewShoe]

@pivotlines Did you ever think that of all the different covers of this song, this is simply another version. A very good version in my opinion. I for one am glad that we are able to enjoy DIFFERENT covers of this beautiful song. It would be a boring world if all we had were a bunch of Jimi Hendrix clones re-doing the same song over & over.

[Ovivierg3]

@pivotlines Kinda obvious don't you think? it's an improv following the chord progression, next time you should type in Jimi Hendrix original and stfu ;)

[1Ma9iN8tive]

@pivotlines - Wait...you're joking right...even if he played the wrong chords with a chainsaw this sounds like no other song but Little Wing...dang - Use your imagination its what both him and Jimi used...

[tintinex]

@pivotlines if u are guitar player you need to know that cover version is always diffrent,btw this song is awesome

[mysoresriram]

That was top notch playiin'!

[planetalk]

@mysoresriram ... thank you, sir.

[TheSale1988]

damn, that was as cool as it gets...U gave me goose bumps man ;)

[planetalk]

@TheSale1988 ... thanks, man. Goose bumps are good!

[MrMusicweekly]

I want the backing track this is a awesome improvisation. I would love to get the backing track from you if you still have it

[planetalk]

@MrMusicweekly ... I downloaded it from guitabackingtracks web site, do a search there. I think there are two versions.

[Senlocc22]

absolutely beautiful :) fuck these tone snob comments and hataz u very much inspired me to practice more bless u

[planetalk]

@Senlocc22 ... bless u 2.

[jackassunit22]

Sounds kinda like jeff beck rather than a slide lol

[planetalk]

@jackassunit22 ... nice compliment. Jeff's one of my favorite players. Thanks!

[eViLJ666]

dont like the tone .. sorry

[planetalk]

@eViLJ666 ... don't apologize, I don't mind.

[BarWillTender]

@maziku it IS easy (depends what song ofc ;D ), and really fun!!!

[superfc12]

amazing! i'm fan of the way you use it! (i want to know playing with slide like this!) sorry for my bad english... i'm french :D

[planetalk]

@superfc12 ... merci!

[maziku]

slide guitar looks easy

[uhokstupid]

@maziku looks easy but isnt at all. its actually pretty hard to get a good feel for it. its all about feeling

[RyanArnoldRocks]

Not gonna lie...I cried a little bit. Well done.

[planetalk]

@RyanArnoldRocks ... cheers, mate.

[FeatherTones]

hi, kirk! it's beautiful, really. someone mentioned gilmour in this thread and they are spot on. he's the only other man standing when it comes to such thoughtful, well-placed notes and buckets of glorious tone (with a nod to david lindley, of course). i shall check out all the rest, but i think you just snagged yourself a fan.

[GustavoMagoo]

Very nice!!!

[planetalk]

@GustavoMagoo ... Thanks!

[planetalk]

@GustavoMagoo ... thank yo.u

[aalev123]

epic man

[BMIGuitarist]

From the heart playing without the zillion notes a measure. Stunning and original.

[planetalk]

@BMIGuitarist ... I appreciate the feedback, thanks.

[bluesandpinkfloyd]

Your playing makes Gilmour jealous

[planetalk]

@bluesandpinkfloyd ... I doubt that, but thanks.

[BW9191]

@bluesandpinkfloyd

if you were a real fan you wouldn't say anyone was better than the main man

[1Ma9iN8tive]

@bluesandpinkfloyd Yes - hints of Gilmour and Floyd throughout with a touch of Cooder and a smidgen of "holy moley Batman thats amazing" ha ha ha

[tsahi753]

Great! tabs ?

[RavenMacKay]

Very nice job! Great version on one of the greatest songs! I never tried slide guitar in drop D. Maybe I should!

[GeorgianPranks]

sounds like 8-bit crack music :X

[phallogan]

This sounds so much like Pink Floyd it nearly hurts ... godly !

[emilangel97]

where have you get this backin track?

[raxxalexx]

MAGICAL TONE!

[MercedezRockBlues]

Bela versão! Porem lembra um Pink Floyd!

[potapoff]

Говно

[atrusmyst]

Just felt in love with this impro...you may not believe it but each time i listen to this i just can stop looping the melody... This is really playing with feeling, congrats! Now i won't rest until i learn how to play it! :)

By the way, the book/dvd i'm really thinking in buying it, do you have this one there? :)

Regards!

[planetalk]

@atrusmyst ... thanks for the nice feedback. The DVD doesn't teach specific tunes, I'm afraid, but it does teach you the mindset that enables this kind of playing.

[sheepmanA]

nice, I really like it .... but in my opinion cleaner guitar effect would by better

[wetbums]

@sheepmanA I think it's meant to sound this way ^^ a cleaner effect would just take the passion of the song out... when he hits those low notes.... u can actually feel the power in the sound.... :)

[shearn666]

Kirk Lorange - early Richard Clapton albums?? Still a damn tasty player. Kudos to you.

[Nothingtearsthebeast]

Is the guitar in Open E, or is it in standard.

[planetalk]

@Nothingtearsthebeast ... dropped D ... D A D G B E

[Nothingtearsthebeast]

@planetalk

Sweet. Dude, how cool is slide guitar.

[bigjimmyrocker]

too cool bro glad I watched

[LittleCeasar1]

warm, fuzzy, squealy, slidey and harmonicy. Just sublime!!! Thank you so much

[kirkraymusic]

Good job. Wish I could play slide like that.

[utah217]

thank you utah 217

[exhesham]

nice wow

[greensleeves186]

Dear Kirk,, Hello this is Abhisek From India,, I really appreciate the way you have played this one,,, great piece of work so musical I came across this video yesterday and righaway downloaded this video as an MP3 and MP4,,, Listening to this over and over again,,,I request you if you can send me this backing track as an attachment in greensleeves186@yahoo.com

[planetalk]

@greensleeves186 ... thanks, mate. I don't have that backing track anymore, I'm afraid. There are much better ones out there. Do a search, you'll see.

[mollet09]

i got a question, does it requiers bigger strings?? to sound better?

[planetalk]

@mollet09 ... Yes, heavier strings sound much better.

[mollet09]

@planetalk ok thanks is that ok with .10?

[figonapetter]

Should also say I've obviously downloaded it as mp3 (and mp4). Is there a way to get better quality, 128kbps sucks a bit when your neighbours are gone I'll happily buy it.

[figonapetter]

I put 'little wing' in the search box and nothing.. had to put 'little wing slide' to find this again. That's a shame. First thing showing up should be this video. It's now about a year I heard this version, and I know it by soul. You know what i mean.. you know every milli sec of the solo. Can't describe what I'm feeling for it. Let's just say it's EPIC!!!!!

[RGBLackson]

nice, what kind of slide is that?

[planetalk]

@RGBLackson ... one of my custom made brass slides. I sell them from the site listed in the video.

[RGBLackson]

@planetalk alright, sweet you just made a sale :P neat idea!

[RGBLackson]

@planetalk alright, sweet you just made a sale. your playing reminds me of marty friedman except with a slide.. :P

[et7waage1]

Simply wonderful! I'm so amazed by your talent!

[justintime1469]

wat year is that strat???



[EmanueleFranca]

EPIC!!

[fretburns]

awsome dude,,,one of the best slides ive ever heard!

[jinnomina]

ORGASMIC....



[RandomGuitarist96]

really good, but a little bit much distortion for my liking

[cosimomazzotta]

wow!!!

[SuperMegaMantus]

You're playing in a open tuning?

[planetalk]

@SuperMegaMantus ... no, I'm in Dropped D ... DADGBE

[Abudu1956]

This is simply beautiful. You should get your version on a jazz station.

[tisBenG]

is the hendrix song little wing?

[TheEnno64]

i reeeallly love that. plz more :D

in which tuning do you play this song? sounds fucking kool. i try myself in blues ^^

[labyonnette]

preferred your first impro. your playing doesnt need tech noise to make it sound different

[ZQman666]

Sounds pink floyd-ish

[Bluessontlavie]

Didn't think I'd care for it but W R O N G, very nice

[Ionrooted]

I really love this execution of little wing! :)

[Muzikman127]

I love your approach to soloing- so many people just whack out pentatonics when they play- but you're managing to stay right between that hard to reach sweet spot of playing both in the key you're in and in the chord the piece is on. Nice :)

[poppyseller1]

Nice

[futureace73]

Sounds like Pink Floyd covering Little Wing.

[MyHenry22]

nice bruther srv is smileing

[branchtell]

What's wrong with those 17 people !!!!!!????

[DanPlaysGuitar14]

this is great! how do you get that bluesy tone? i.e. what is your gear?

[xavierdeijscoman]

How? Do you use the notes from the chords?

[planetalk]

@xavierdeijscoman ... yes, not exclusively, but the main notes of all my lines are chord tones. The trick is to see the whole fretboard as 'the chord'. That's what my book/DVD PlaneTalk teaches. I've added the link to that site in the info panel just below the movie if you're interested. It's guaranteed to take your playing up a few levels.

[xavierdeijscoman]

In wich scales do you play? Please i really need to know this :(

[planetalk]

@xavierdeijscoman ... I don't really know. I'm not thinking scales, I'm thinking chords.

[1asturiano]

Love it man. Very unique... doing your own thing. That's great. I'm so tired of listening to players just cloning. Keep'em coming bro.

[M4G1C4D]

I Need absolutely the Tab!... that's amazing!!!!!...

[ChunkTheShredder]

incredible tone and playing!

[FretFreak02]

You just gave me the inspiration I was looking for for a LONG time, thanks!!

[kevmilla]

its cool that david gilmour likes jimi hendrix=)

[SilyrabiTrixR4KidZ]

sounds like pink floyd

[gippskart]

wow

[xavierdeijscoman]

Can you plz tell me where u got the backing track from?

[Muzikman127]

@xavierdeijscoman read description

[xavierdeijscoman]

U are my Hero

[greenguy238]

What gauges are your strings? They look pretty thick.

[rezeve69]

Immediately upon thumbing this 'up' I noticed 16 people thumbed this down.

= 16 people who have viewed this are (certifiably) musically-retarded.

[rezeve69]

That was mesmerizing and extremely addictive. I think I just had my very first eargasm in a long time.. lolz. Awesome work @ planetalk. That absolutely rocked!

...Favourited. Cheers!

[TheGuitarMartin]

How you get that sound have you some effekts?

[hedefter]

just awesome

[Queenmaniaco666]

FUCKING AMAZING !

[soin2top]

That's played so clean - wow.

[ellonylj]

Who on earth would vote this as a "nay"???

[salm37]

More Pink Floyd than little wing but cool...good job

[Tangen107]

Very good playing, little wing in a great way.

[DutchJ0ker]

I listen to this cover at least once a day

[MungoSmythe]

Wow..made my tits tingle!

[MrPsang]

Very thoughtful, musical and moving solo.

[Scraatch]

I kinda killed the replay button...

[relldoc]

soooo beautiful, can't stop listening... 

[spikeri812]

hairy forearm is an ass (@harryforeman)

[harryforeman]

@spikeri812 GREETINGS FROM CHINA!!!!!!!!!

[harryforeman]

you just ruined a really good song. well done mate

[dudecicero]

@harryforeman - Sounds like someone is jealous.

[harryforeman]

@dudecicero ye im really jealous, hence my comment.......

[dudecicero]

@harryforeman - You're not the only one.

[ellonysman]

this is simple stuff....childs play on guitar, anyone can do this.....after about forty years playing and learning everything Kirk has learned....sigh...forty years....yikes, way to go kirk....

[Tritsekk]

being fan of both jimi and pink floyd, i really cant express how much i digg it

[zunder777]

Great Playing! I mean friggin' spiritual! It's so great to hear an artist like yourself that plays musically, not just regurgitating some mathematical finger exercise. Congrats on a great performance!

[kevins6864]

If pink Floyd had cut a cover of Little Wing, this is what it woulda sounded like. Amazing performance, my friend.

[planetalk]

@kevins6864 ... thanks, mate, nice of you to say so.

[TubeFil]

@kevins6864 I absolutely agree

[misskonijnenkeutel]

@kevins6864 lol after the first 3 seconds i was thinking it sounded very pink floyd like!

[DutchJ0ker]

14 dislikes :S @$%W!@@#$, Oke I'm gonna hang myself

[DutchJ0ker]

this is played out of the hearth

[ptdanielson]

Seems to me, I've been noticing... All the worlds greatest guitarists aren't famous. And that's too bad. A true talent like you should be heard by all. I really enjoy listening to this. Thank you for posting!!!

[planetalk]

@ptdanielson ... thanks, mate. Now, thanks to sites like this, we can be heard. Spread the word!

[masae1328]

カッコいい！

超　イケてます☆

[planetalk]

@masae1328 ... yes, very heavy strings ...

[markdocker]

thats a nice tune but the guitar is tiny!!

[Scraatch]

Makes me press the "play again" button...

...serveral times!

I adore your way to play the slide guitar!

[Newhomerambler]

That's sooo nice, I can't even...begin to......(I'm good shock now)

Crossroads could only be so lucky!

[v8lawman]

Hi Kirk, Fantastic ,love all guitar slide stuff you are up there with the best mate ,keep it up

[dtrue07]

ridiculously awesome bruh. now, i want guitar lessons : )

[guitars4god99]

very fluent playing style. crunchy tone with your overdrive, but crisp sound. thats pretty hard to do. rock on!

[paralyz3r00]

sounds very gilmourish

[ellonysman]

Kirk....Im trying to get Eric Clapton, thru facebook, and his people to consider inviting Jennifer Batten to the next Crossroads. I dont think it will work but do you have any ideas how I can contact someone to suggest this idea? Id like to also send Kirk Lorange there with Jennifer too, ever heard of him? hehe....Rick

[planetalk]

@ellonysman ... Sorry, Rick, I have no idea.

Kirk Lorange? Never heard of him ;-)

[planetalk]

@ellonysman ... sorry, mate, can't help you there.

[DutchJ0ker]

@ellonysman I so wanna go to Crossroads but i have to come all the way from Holland than :(

[lambdachi1826]

He must get tons o' poon.

[ianmcg12]

[faitouri]
