Between Hendrix and Angels
This is a post to present you with two of the most beautiful guitar tunes ever composed. Both of course, written by one of the greatest musical genius of all times, namely James Marshall Hendrix, better known as Jimi Hendrix. Not only regarded as the best guitar player that ever lived, Hendrix has left an irrepressible legacy that still nowadays inspires all people alike.
The first song “Little Wing” comes from the album Axis: Bold as Love, the second record released by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. This song has been covered by many (great) artists, yet the best version of it remains this next one:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience- Little Wing
The second song “Angel” was released after Jimi’s death (70). From one of the original lyric compositions written by Hendrix, this song appears to be a sequel to Little Wing. The original title seems to have been: My Angel Catherina (Return of Little Wing).

Hope you have enjoyed these tunes and maybe got to hear something you’ve been maybe missing on
? I know myself that I only started listening to Hendrix approximately one year ago, because until then I used to think it was way too much noise. How wrong I was. I simply needed some more guidance and time to really appreciate his music and his technique. You slowly discover that a vital part of his characteristic playing and tone was that loudness and the raging sounds!
Without much more to add, besides encouraging you to get hold of one of his albums, I’ll go back to listening to these tunes again.
Peace & Out! -P
