Aloha friends. If you're a Jimi Hendrix fan like me, you’ll recognize that tune: "Little Wing." This song has been covered by many artists, including Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Beck.

I was fortunate enough to do a live recording with Michael Narada Walden, who was Jeff Beck's drummer on a recent tour. We performed a version of this song at Sweetwater in Mill Valley, and it was a blast.

Today, I will teach you how to play "Little Wing" on acoustic guitar. It starts with an E minor, then moves to G, A minor, and back to E minor. From there, it goes to B minor, A minor, then G, F, C, and D. I'll break it down for you, so let’s get started.
