Little Wing – Jimi Hendrix (guitar tabs included)

This is a serious kickass classic.  Little Wing was written and performed by none other than guitar legend Jimi Hendrix in 1967.  Considered one of Jimi’s best songs, many other artists have come up with their own renditions, from Metallica to Steve Vai.

Below is a tribute done by Stevie Ray Vaughan known for short as SRV, a pure instrumental version that paints of beautiful story.

And not forgetting the original version of Little Wing done by the man himself Jimi Hendrix ( my all time favourite guitarist by the way ) …

Some people say Eric clapton is God.  If so, I would say Hendrix is the God of Gods!  Feel the emotions run through your veins!

Here are the Little Wing guitar tabs for the version done by SRV.  Enjoy!

Forever Love – Xjapan (90% of the female fans were probably crying…)

This was the last live concert by X-japan, performing one of their most famous song Forever Love.  Kinda sad and dramatic.  But awesome song and performance nonetheless.  I always like to think of them as the Guns n Roses of the East.

“Hide (the band’s lead guitarist with the pink hair) died on May 2, 1998 in his Tokyo apartment. A roommate put him to bed after a night of drinking, but when she went to check on him an hour later he was not in his room. He was found hanged with a ripped towel in his apartment bathroom, the towel tied to the doorknob. He was barely alive when the ambulance arrived, and later died in the hospital. He was thirty-three years old.” – Wikipedia

That’s Forever Love for you.

Valley of the Damned – Dragonforce

I never knew who they were until I accidentally clicked on their link and it has become one of my favourite songs!  IT’S TOO DAMN CATCHY!

You will get hooked even if you’re not a fan of power metal.

“While most bands want to be bigger than Metallica, DragonForce have the capacity to exceed Star Wars,” gushed the UK’s Metal Hammer magazine.

Here are the guitar tabs for those crazy enough to attempt it.
