Little Wing Lap Steel Larry Hutcherson

After listing to Larry on a good set of earphones I said to myself, this guy is the real deal. Sitting on his porch......no concert stage, no light show, no smoke or flames of fire, no array of effect foot pedals, ......just a hard-working man who expresses his love completely and masterfully unifying with his instrument and becoming one inspiration. There is something lacking today in the music industry and I believe it is what Larry unveiled. His unpretentious manner of delivery showed he did not have to prove anything.

Does anyone find their self coming back to this wonderful masterpiece after all these years.

Its Oct 2023 and I've only just found this. I'm absolutely dumbstruck by this mans talent.

If I came up on this front porch I'd never leave

This is absolutely insane, it starts so much an understatement, and suddenly Jimi jumps in. Fabulous playing and impeccable technique. Incredible.

I've been around the internet for over 15 years looking at everything from A-Z.  My music collection is almost 300 gigabytes on an external hard drive and growing.   This video is one of the Top 3 BEST videos I've ever seen.  I could literally listen to it all day.  

I love lap steel. I love Jimi's "Little Wing". Never thought the two would come together like this.

Every time I watch/listen to Larry's version of this, I get torn up inside... It's beautiful.  Thank you Larry...

Larry thank you so much for posting this.....I have tears of joy in my eyes just thinking about how beautiful America can be right next to the violence/hatred/and racism......your music is full of love and joy. The birds are enjoying it very much as well.

When I can afford a house, I want a neighbor like this! Great feel, playing and tone Larry..

I don't know what was the most fun, listening to the music? or watching Larry as he plays?, A master at work here and the bar roll superb.

OK...I know I've said it before... but this is still my favourite lap steel performance ever - never fails to send shivers down my spine.

Larry, you are the best lap steel player on planet EARTH!!! Incredible talent.

you know Larry..of all the different versions of little wing (I consider myself an expert too! I love the song) so ive heard so many but you above all I can see Jimi maybe looking down outta the clouds and sayin..."Yeah Man.."! (smile)

Tuning is an Em7 with E on lowest + G on highest--8-string!

This is the real deal it's so good it just makes me crazy that I can't play like this but I just love love love his sound and style

Just when I think I've seen everything, you roll the slide down the strings to great effect. Terrific!

3:29 Coolest trick ever!

Great tone, phrasing and attitude. Nice porch too, make someone want to play. Great video, thanks!

Little Wing is one of my favorite all time tunes and I've listened to every version I've been able to find, which is a lot, and this is truly one of the best and one I keep coming back too. Can't thank you enough for sharing this. I hope another 7 yrs from now this find you well Mr Hutcherson
