Page "Little Wing" Paragraph 1

Hendrix spoke to a Swedish journalist about the song in January 1968, saying " Well, that was one song on there we did a lot of sound on, you know.

We put the guitar through the Leslie speaker of an organ, and it sounds like jelly bread, you know …. It ’ s based on a very, very simple American Indian style, you know, very simple.

I got the idea like, when we was in Monterey, and I just happened to … just looking at everything around.

So I figured that I take everything I see around and put it maybe in the form of a girl maybe, something like that, you know, and call it ' Little Wing ', in other words, just fly away.

Everybody really flying and they ’ s really in a nice mood, like the police and everybody was really great out there.

So I just took all these things an put them in one very, very small little matchbox, you know, into a girl and then do it.

It was very simple, you know.

That ’ s one of the very few ones I like.
