I'm a little jaded to familar blues riffs these days, but SRV manages to put enough intensity and skill into this that it's a joy to listen to, even if it is the same 12 bar blues... holy s<cuckoo!>t, this is fantastic, virtuousity WITH soul:

Top 20 Guitar Solos - #18: Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
This video pisses me off with it's pot-induced leanings, but it's the best live version I could find. This is from Hendrix's 1968 Royal Albert Hall concert.
Here's a link to a nice Wikipedia article on Jimi.
Since that video is so poor, I can't help but to also post Stevie Ray Vaughan doing an amazing performance of Little Wing. I also like Tommy Shannon's bass lines on this one. SRV throws in a nice Third Stone from the Sun piece at the end, too, though the video cuts it off abruptly. Enjoy.
