SRV's version is superior in every way from guitar tone, production value, musicianship, aggressiveness. It's tough to give him the nod over Jimi since Jimi's version is a lot more raw and SRV's version is perfect. I'd go JH on this one. Now, Little Wing is SRV all day everyday and it's not even close. There comes a point where SRV is just such a vastly superior player that you cant do anything but give him the nod.

Hendrix was blazin the electric blues when the beatles were singing about holding some broad's hand. There was nothing close to what Jimi was doing in the late 60's. He singlehandedly redefined hard rock and blues and did it in just a few short years before he died.

SRV on the other hand, he played some Jimi covers quite well.

Sums up my thoughts as well.

But I'll say that the El Mocambo version that SRV did was just ridiculous.
