4. Clapton's a good guitarist
and I've seen some videos of him doing this song but I just don't feel it when he plays.

2. Stevie, hands down.
Yeah, Jimi wrote it, but SRV took it to a whole 'nother level.

7. absolutely Stevie Ray.
Hendrix is great, but Stevie Ray's version is something special.

9. Sorry, SRV copied Hendrix' style
SRV didn't do anything on a guitar Hendrix didn't and couldn't do, but that Hendrix did better. Hendrix was one of the great guitar pioneers, as SRV would readily admit if alas he were still with us.

12. No need to apologize
Obviously Hendrix was a huge influence on SRV. But as to the question at hand, SRV's cover of Little Wing is clearly the better of the two.

But SRV's version can move me to tears...

8. Hendrix, of course
The best version for me is the live one from the album Hendrix In The West. I also have a great live version that I tape-recorded from Hendrix at the Olympia auditorium in Paris, France in 1968.

10. Both
It's like rebuilding a '57 Chevy Stock. (Hendrix)

vs.

rebuilding a '57 Chevy for muscle. (SRV)
