Hey, I produced and designed the video, but Rick picked and worked with the sound guy to make sure the sound was up to his standards. If you have any questions, I will pass them on to him.

Thanks so much for your comments.

What a great mixture of the delicate, tender acoustic beginning and then the killer electric transition that flies through so many nuances.

Be sure to watch this in high quality mode!

WOW!

I don't know anyone else in the Bay Area who plays the guitar as amazing as Rick Vandivier. He just "knows" just what to play and when. This version of Little Wing ROCKS. And how nice to see and hear Joe Hodges in this video. He's smiling from above at this fantastic accompllshment. Congrats

Rick - Great to hear you. Nothing but the best, as always. It's been to long. I've got to get back out CA and you & the family. Take care.

WoW i mean this is probably one of the only other guys i have heard do it like SRV, I mean by that, to take a song like that and really make it his own, but still keeping it Little wing. I truly think Hendrix would be proud of this his work here!

Amazing Tribute!

Studied with Rick from bout 89-91. Great teacher, great player. Blew my mind with his synth guitar back then.... Way to go, Rick..

Rick is such a great guitarist -- not to mention teacher and just all round great person. Great job Rick.

This is such a beautiful version, and brings new depth to this song. Really wonderful! Rick is just so gifted...his music is inspiring!

-Great cover! I Really enjoyed the use of both acoustic and electric. The transition from a much softer, classical style to the more traditional funk/rock with the electric guitar was superb. The break and introduction to the solo brought out a lot more intensity and a much harder sound. However, it still maintained the elegance presented in the beginning which I thought was quite pleasing.

Amazing!! Very smooth and articulate. You can feel the emotion and story being told. Great job professor!
