This was the song that made me realize the power of live music and my love for it. I was like 5-6 years old and my family had just moved into our new house. One night we were all talking and hanging out before bed in what would become our family room, we were just sitting around on what we had set up, there was stuff everywhere. At some point my dad opened up this guitar case which was sat next to the couch on his side on the floor. It was a 1950 Gibson L5. I didn’t know anything about anything. But when he picked that up he started playing this song and the impact that experience had on me totally changed my life. He may have played in front of me before that but for me that was my first memory of him doing that and it was incredible. I went on to play drums he bought me my first set at 9yrs old. I’m 39 now and picked up guitar about 5 years ago. He gave me that Gibson a couple years ago. Almost brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. My uncle used to own a venue called the Skyline Lounge. He still plays now and then in his band Lyle Grobe & The Rhythm Ramblers. I only wish I was into guitar when I was young it would’ve been great to have something like that to bond over.

That was a thing of beauty!. From the bluesy to a little Spanish back to blues and then the overdrive with the wah turned a simple song into mini masterpiece. 👏👏👏

I love how it just kept building and building until the lead high up on the neck with the overdriven sound and wah. Masterful playing.

One hell of a guitarist and musician, with taste without over playing. This guy is amazing with what he does with songs, taking them to a new level.

I have studied the "greats" of modern guitar music my entire adult life. I am just stunned here. What else is there to say.

Hand and finger movements in this clip are so elegant, a beauty in and of itself!

The Spanish guitar part is just 👌🏻

I love the balance of creativity and musicianship. Very powerful

This moved me...the best rendition of this classic that I've heard.

I would go to see you in concert if you ever toured. You have amazing talent that doesn't come along all too often.

I am currently going through the most difficult time of my entire life. Your music helps me so much. Thanks bro ❤

You make me want to open my strat case and dig out all my rock and roll thrills. You are blessed!🎸🎸

What a talented guy, one of THE best guitar instructors in the UK.

Mind-Blowing ❤❤❤❤

Wonderful performance by a gifted guitarist.

Oh my god! You nailed it! The whole song was a thing of beauty and that ending, i have no words

Wow. The most original interpretation that I've ever heard. Well done!! 👍

2:52 - WoW !

je n'ai jamais entendu une reprise aussi complète et abouti de se morceau a la guitare.bravo

I'd like to see him have a jam with that guy Maximilian that plays guitar for The Main Squeeze. They are similarly tasteful and while also extremely skilled and technical .

Wow !! This just gets better and better… absolutely awesome!!

What a bright, powerful, and hopeful performance. It's fun and makes me want to sing.

Sean you are a wanderfull and tremendous guitarrist!!!! My GOD !!! You interpretation IS SUBLIME!!! GOD THANKS FOR THIS GUITARRIST. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Best version I've seen and heard!!

That is one of my all time favorite songs. You are absolutely awesome . You sure know how to make that guitar sing.

The back side one is the most emotional and stronge shot i've ever seen in cover clips. Damn congrats! Oh sound is like always you got. Perfect.

Absolutely love the combining of the acoustic & electric guitar !!! What a great combined sound for the song.... did I mention ...- DAMN , CAN YOU PLAY SOME WICKED SMOOTH GUITAR !!!

When it gets to the part with the cry baby pedal effect it gets so amazing Fantastic cover.

INCREDIBLE!

That was exellance personified

This guy can make that guitar SING. Literally. Quite a few times I thought I was actually hearing the words. UN-freeking-BELIEVABLE. I say again: Sean is likely the BEST guitar player on the planet. THEE BEST !

Hello! je sui vraiment tombé amoureux de ta version de little wing, le doigté et ta sensibilité de jeu m'ont donné de belles vibrations, l'esprit de Jimmy était avec toi! Merci

You really make people listen Sean! What a cool and soulful rendition!

Wow .. just amazing!!

Noice !! You just made me like this song again 😅❤!

This is a masterpiece. Keep it up!

Temaso que uno piensa que ya nadie puede sumarle algo nuevo... hasta Sean Mann lo toma y logra captar todo lo hermoso de el tema con tan solo su guitarra y hermosa técnica.

That is one of my all time favorite songs, and you just set it on fire - in a good way. Absolutely magnificent. Thank you!!!!!!

This is so awesome!!!!!!!!!

Your guitar must love you...!!!!

It's the best performance and touching. Thank you for always giving me the strength to spend my day listening to your performance. I wish you good health and happiness..

That's without any pedals, just a guitar and amp. Alvin was special may he rest in peace.

Masterpiece, magical!!!!!!😊

Holy frkn sht!!!!!😮 has to be one of the best covers❤

The new Jamie Harrison- I'm all for it man. Should keep pumping out covers and lessons!

Very good...much better than I expected. I love your version.

Sean This is fantastic. You are my favorit. The way you play it is very classy. 🙏🎸🎶💓

Truly beautiful. I've listened to a lot of covers of this song, this is hands down the best one!

Brilliantly, that is unreal mate, clean video great switching angles of view.

A force d'écouter cette reprise aussi parfaite qu'originale, ça mérite bien un petit billet.

... and you did it again! You made a masterpiece of a rendition, brother! Rock On 🤟😎

Nothing sounds as good as a Fender Stratocaster.

A thing of beauty! Your playing is flawless! I always look forward to listening to your playing, you always leave me floored. I hope the young guitar players find you on IG or RU-vid and learn to become players like you. God bless brother! Keep being an inspiration to the world!

So tasty, thank you for not over playing it. I love the restraint.

So dope! this reminds me of the red dead redemption II

Jesus dude, you kill it with everything you do.

Incredible Truly Incredible Speechless Bravo!

Really enjoyed that one Sean. Thanks for putting another top piece of work together brother.

Bravo! And the ending was sublime. Some monstrous playing in there.

Simply amazing Sean ….. very well put together here with all your editing. How you do not have a million or more subscribers is still lost on me . Wishing you all the best Mr.Mann , and always looking forward to more of what you share 😎👍

One of the greatest guitar pieces I've ever heard. Amazing. Tasty delicious sweet and juicy licks. This be my jams!

A virtuoso tour-de-force bravura performance that showcases the melodic mastery of Sean Mann expressed through the distinctive voice of a Fender Stratocaster in full cry, tastefully interspersed with nylon-string classical guitar pyrotechnics, all conjured up with the same pair of gifted hands.

My heart felt warm. Thank you for the inspiring music❤

This sounds just incredible dude !

Killer. Love what you do Sean. Amazing player.

Dude this is a pure masterpiece, made my day.

o yes !!!! avec micro double sa sonnerai tellement plus puissant comme on aurait envie d en entendre plus !!! magnifique prestation.

Incredible! 🔥

Definitely Risen ❤

loved the transition to the wah voicing! Equally cool was the classical guitar piece which sets the room for the lift in energy for the wah... Just great feel in that pick hand and equally adapted to various techniques. Well done!

Awesome! Love this!

Fantastic 💥💥💥

As always.... highest level, thanks a lot.👍

Wow! Beautiful! Powerful ending.

Stunning!

Wow Sean, this is the best rendition of this song I have ever heard, well done, master class!!!!!!!!!!

The Mann never disappoints.
