Let's all point and laugh at Axel Rudi Pell's guitar playing:

He must be a great guy, tho, seeing as how Jeff Scott Soto has collaborated with him for so many years. That, or Soto simply can't tell the difference between this:

that one by jimi hendrix with the bells 'n stuff... though in many ways i think the dominoes' version equals it.

this one by carl veheyen is quite excellent... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Ibqf55WRA

I'm partial to Jimi's Royal Albert Hall version. From other guitarists, Shawn Lane's '92 version from Alfred's gives me goosebumps.

Hendrix in the west version for me, quite easily. I like SRV's version a lot. and Beck's live versions are quite awesome.

I agree re the dominoes.

that's excellent, but Id hardly call that Little Wing. It's almost a completely different song.

it's no more different from the original than the dominoes' version

Hendrix's original is the best, imo.

There are a ton of great versions out there, but nobody captured the essence of the original.

It still gives me chills.

Guitar-wise, there are better versions out there, but the song is about more than that.
