  • beautiful.

  • this man was truly portal to another level of music, genius is an understatement, although I have all of his work I wish I had seen him play while he was still here, oh well - another time another place perhaps, if I am fortunate enough...

  • This is absolutely one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. I couldn't get over the shear elegance of the complete contribution. I never would have thought Stevie could play something like this. This should be in the R&R hall of fame as one of the most romantic tunes of all. This should make Stevie and DT a favorite to nearly every true lover of musical beauty.

  • ;0)!!!!!!

  • Brings a tears to my eyes.............

  • One of the most soothing, peaceful, and tranquil instrumentals ever recorded. Amazing how somebody known for hard and powerful and rockin guitar work could turn around and pull off something as gentle and sublime as this.

    TODAY'S MUSIC NEVER....STEVIE RAY FOREVER!

  • Divine......

    

  • SRV IS THE SH%T

  • there will never be no one else like stevie ray vaughn. JUST AWESOME. WISH HE WAS STILL HERE.oh nevermind i guess, HE IS. can't get enough. STEVIE RAY LIVES in all of us. thank god for all the people who have heard his GUITAR SCREAM.

  • I have seen them all !! That would have been the best show on earth !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sounds a bit like George Benson. Love it.

  • Steve rules men!!

  • srv is amazin

  • It's been 21 years and we still love and think of you Stevie. It is a little after 1am, on the same day we lost you. Your music will always soothe our soul and fill our hearts with the joy that you instill in us with your music. RIP brother, you will never be forgotten.

  • @usaearthling

    SRV is now playing larger crowds than ever on this Earth. I look forward to hearing his new music. but not yet, not yet.

    :D

  • @fluffythecat2 I totally agree with that. : )

  • S.R.V. and a 59 strat! classic ahhhhh i love this!

  • SRV.いつ聞いても良いなぁ・・・

    音がSexyで表現力が有って・・・

    残念なのはリアルタイムで聞いていなかった事。

    彼のコンサートはDVDでしか知らなくて、演奏している緊迫感や­ノリを味わえなかった事が残念。

    

  • I can't find my favorite SRV. Love em all and can't take my eyes off the man

  • I can't find my favorite SRV. Love em all and can't take my eyes off the man

  • This gives me the chills...beyond sultry and gorgeous.

  • sundevilification: great for musicians warming up to get in the zone

  • Got to see Stevie in Burlington, Vermont, shortly before his death. He was top of his game again. What a loss! He just melted me into the floor with this one.

  • I don't care what anyone says, SRV can't touch Hendrix. I think those who think it to be the other way round suffer from white boy syndrome.

  • @TTmaniax So you suffer from black boy syndrome?

  • @sthelens07 However do you mean?

  • @TTmaniax In my opinion, SRV can touch hendrix, im a huge hendrix fan, anyone who can turn a 2 minute hendrix song into an 8 minute work of art is pure genius,

  • @sthelens07 Referring to little wing btw.

  • @sthelens07 Yeah, but anyone who can write a Hendrix song is a bigger pure genius.:)

  • @TTmaniax Hendrix a great writer, in my opinion the best ever. Theres not too much technical difference between the best, just in terms of style, Stevie Ray Vaughans style is my preffered

  • @TTmaniax IMHO, Stevie was and is the greatest interpreter of Jimi's work. I think Jimi would be proud to have his music live on and be played by such a gifted musician. Stevie loved and respected Jimi so much, and it was obvious with every note of Jimi's that he played.

  • @SRV4evr No doubt about that my friend.:)

  • @TTmaniax food for thought -- SRV was "blacker" than Hendrix ever was.

  • w0w if a soul could talk *^

  • @2lynnski7 That's an interesting observation. I've always considered RP 9+ minutes of pure prayer. But yours is a unique way of looking at it as well. One of my fave SRV tunes, and one that I go to when I need to chill, be still, or just need an "emotional hug." Thank you Stevie!

  • w0w

  • If Stevie Ray were a painter, this would be his MASTERPIECE. I think of him painting this starting at the bottom of a 10 foot high canvas and moving on up as he goes thru the song and his LIFE. Muted, playing bottleneck, his picking is precise, immaculate, as he turns over the lead to Reese, he plays great backup. This defines SR, with lots of dark and scary moments. Sunny then stormy. It's all here !!

  • @gaspo218 well said:)

  • If i could play a single line like Stevie does on this track i'd be 50 times the musician i am now! Good god every single note drops off the neck like it came from his heart, nobody feels it like he does when he played this track, imo his most emotional piece ever! I re-live breaking up with my beautiful ex every single time i hear this piece, breaks my heart every single time!

  • Stevie "life without you" just will never be the same. Your bright presence is missed. See you at the feet of the King one day...I know you and your momma (who passed not long ago) are at complete peace in His presence.

  • This has got to be one of my all time favorite guitat pieces.. his execution of phrasing is spectacular to say the least. the bass lines allow the music to revereate through the senses and the piano lulls you into an emotional relaxation,,, this is one song that allows me the solitude of pure listening enjoyment Thank you guys for being where only a few of us have the chance to be, ,,,,,creating a music masterpiece

  • SRV style cannot be beaten by anyone! The music comes from his heart and travels thru his arn to his finger tips.His playing reaches my soul.I also enjoy the style of Santana`s song on Bella and Samba Pa Ti.I like the music to reach my soul no matter who sings it or playes it.Good music died in the 90s.I have loved Stevie and Carlos from the begining of there careers.I`m 72 and still love their music.

  • It was a 9 minutes of pleasude!

  • do you imagine how lucky we'dd be to have 10 more years of his music ????

  • @josssy27 WE still have his soul he left with us in our care. SO love it enjoy it and Hold the one you love while he plays; you will feel his love pouring right through you both. Yep!! My angel being sent me one of SRV gems tonight, thousands of miles away and this man brings us together as ONE BIG WHOLE. THAT is the magic he carries in his Heart. <3 to all of his fans, he is looking down on us with smiles all over his face. <3<3<3

  • miss ya Stevie Ray...R.I.P. friend

  • The mans soul poured out of what ever guitar he was playing...and into ours.

  • My favorite musician of all time and I am a drummer!

  • Hendrix's little brother, and my "celestial mentor". God how this man's music has taught me my chops on thulectric bass. To learn this song, for example, reminds me of my old hall monitor -- Mother Tucker.

    PS! Yever wonder what Hendrix would sound like if he had survived? Put on a CD of Joe Satriani

  • he's so pure!

  • @theHellzapoppin toooooooo damn pure!!!! this is my favorite 1 by him. its an original & i listen 2 it no matter what mood i am in & i turn that baby UP LOUD (like now). SRV is 1 of the greatest & every1 those who know me knows that hes my favorite (especially when it comes down 2 the blues). RIP SRV!!!! WE ALL MISS & STILL LUV YA!!!! YOUR MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON ESPECIALLY IN MY BOOK!!!!

  • Does anyone know any other artists that did stuff like this? This is one of my favourite tunes right now!

  • @stewrules I love Stevie Ray Vaughan! Superb feeling in everything he plays. Check out Roy Buchanan's music....he played with all his heart too. Check out Roy Buchanan's "Wayfaring Pilgrim" "Sweet Dreams" and " The Messiah Will Come Again"....very nice instrumental music. He has a lot of music but those songs are a good place to start.

  • @TheBrownDog75

    Listen to Roy B on " Hot Cha " , " Nephesh " , " Reelin and Rockin "

  • @stewrules Pat Metheny comes to mind. But in the tradition of Stevie, who would not hesitate one second to cite his influcences, you might check out Kenny Burrell, who was one of Stevie's influences. Also, check out Grant Green, George Benson, Earl Klugh, Mark Whitfield, and Russell Malone (former guitarist for Diana Krall).

  • its called soul ,and you dont have to be that great of a guitar if you have soul.

  • Would it be necrophelia if it is the dead man who is making love to my ear and not the other way around?

  • GUITAR GOD !

  • Absolutely timeless and beautiful tune. I'll be listening to this when I'm 90. Love you always Stevie!

  • Oh this song......he put so much feeling into every second that he played. I agree with a lot of the comments below about how he played. I will NEVER get tired of listening to this song. PHENOMENAL!

  • greatest of all time

  • Such a nice photo! And such a beeeeeeuuuuuuteeeeeeeeful song. Love you Stevie!

  • It must be true that 'The good die young" I never tire of SRV's music. I can float on this. Thanks for putting this together.

  • i look forward to having this play while i languidly kiss my future wife and delight in her love.

    amazing

    no other song like this

    that i know of anyway.

    thanks SRV!!

  • WOW I just looked at the view meter and I have almost 25 thousand views!! Thank you all SOOOO much!!!!!!

  • @stratocaster1959

    thx to u strato

    we all thank you!!!!!!!!!!

  • @fluffythecat2 I thank you all back!!! If you have any sugestions for songs please let me know!!

  • I wonder why artists who are so obviously influenced by him never give him the props. Other blues players like B.B. who couldn't play a major 7 chord for all the tea in China are idolized?

  • everyone except john mayer has really said thanks to stevie but I see your point

  • @stratocaster1959 I'm not a Mayer fan, but In fairness, he's indicated publicly many times that Stevie was a huge influence on his music. In fact, in one interview he indicated that Stevie was his biggest influence.

  • @SRV4evr True! Thank you!

  • this song....this song puts me in a low light bar, lounge with a small dance floor, a good buzz and my arms wrapped around a tight woman...slow...she knows....

  • aaaaaa what a beautifull song!!! when i first heard it i had it on repeat for like a month!

  • classic

  • Timless, simply timless. Personally, I actually like the rain-stick water-effects on the Greatest Hits Album; it adds atmosphere and nuance that you can't get in the other versions. Still, a great track any way you edit it. Smooth as silk.

  • I own and play a 1989 yr serial number model SRV artist series guitar, a re-issue super reverb amp and note for note knowledge of this instrumental, BUT, ain't SRV damnit, why me.... lol. Just saying, playing the notes ain't feelin' em ala SRV.. Deep blues here ya'll,thanks sratocaster1959!

  • I love SRV he's so great, im learning this song at the moment

  • This lush arrangement contrasts perfectly with the stark pathos of Lenny.

  • It's similar to Lenny, but IMO this was as close to perfection as SRV would ever get.

  • The essence of an orgasm: Bliss.

  • this is so true, pure ecstacy!

  • @ilonavee  An eargasm!!

  • @SRV4evr  Yes!! This is one of my favorite songs he wrote!

  • Play, magic fingers!! He da MAN!! R. I. P. SRV

  • \m/

    SRV

    Steve Ray Vaughn

    The Ray of the Blues...

  • More than John McGlaughlin, Buckethead, Clapton, Shankar, Hendrix, Al Di Meola, whoever else you can throw in there, Stevie Ray Vaughan, in my opinion, is the greatest guitarist in the history of the instrument, and that includes the friggin' lute. The man is legend. It must be his style I'm so drawn to, because there isn't much difference between skill level when you get to the cream of the crop--it's just that SRV's style really speaks to me. And I suppose all of you as well...

  • @bawhite125 Couldn't have said it better!

  • @bawhite125 So very well said. Not only did Stevie master his instrument, he brought intangibles to his playing - heart, soul, passion, love. And while I recognize greatness in the others (Clapton, Jimi, et al) I hear these intangibles in every single note Stevie plays. For me, that's what sets him apart from the others.

  • @bawhite125 Its the amount of soul he puts into his music. He puts his all into each note. He says more with one note then anyone can say in a life time. And I completly agree with you!

  • @bawhite125

    yep. he is amazing. more tone than anyone else.

  • @bawhite125 You're right. I'm admired that people like Malmsteen are on the G3. Yes, he play fast, clean, but don't make MUSIC! Technique for me is nothing without music. I saw lots of people playing better than him, but knowing 10x less and playing 10x slower than him. Stevie was making music, and he had some hard hand.. so incredible

  • @tomoulevou That's a great point.  Creativity is so important.

  • @bawhite125 Yes!

  • @bawhite125: Sure Stevie is amazing... But to me Hendrix was the man. I love them both...

  • @bawhite125  I'm with you 110% percent. There are and have been sooooo many gifted guitarists in the world - you've named several in your post - but there is something about Stevie's style that I find mysterious and am drawn to over all others, still, 20 years after his passing. Thank you for saying he's the greatest cuz I've always felt that way, but didn't say it lest I be disrespectful to so many other greats. RIP sweet Stevie.

  • @bawhite125 good taste , from the heart,asit should be ,check out the great irish blues player,rory gallagher , died too young , clapton calls him one of the best ever.

  • @stick935 Good call on Rory. He had been recommended to me previously, but what I had heard upon first listen was quite folksy.  I didn't realize he had so much range. Bad Penny is the JAM!

  • @bawhite125 is this his best song ?? It certainly gives us everything he's got.

  • @bawhite125 man soul is regardless you obviously have a lack of education in guitars. he is sick very sicl and full of soul but physically he is lacking an entire thought process his music is 100% inside. there is zero abstract shit goin on.

    great for the simple mind.

    please fender lovers let me here the feedback

  • i like the live version better but its all good hell its all S.R.V. i had a 59 strat sunburst let that one get away kills me to think about it o well .

  • SRV left his mark on this world...and his riffs continue to travel throughout the universe...somehow and somewhere. The Resonance is beautiful.

    This track is truly immortal.

    Long live SRV.

  • i can listen to this all day

  • This is one of the sexiest songs in the world. I fell in love with it when I heard it.

  • me too

    still #1 for me

  • 0:20 there should be Jimmy Vaughan on very right side

  • yeah but thats the color version the black and white only had srv clapton and cray....,

  • I think he just for forgot "the" after "is"...

  • If you took Jimi H. and added a 4th dimension......

    ....or injected Clapton with steroids....

    That's Stevie. RIP

  • robert cray and stevie the best ...sorry erick clapton ..you never plat like these master ..

  • thats true !!! hey check out my riviera paradise from stevie's last show ever at alpine valley thats the last time he plays that song !!!

  • I love this song!!! Thanks so much for posting it. I can only wonder what more beautiful music he would have created if he had not been taken so soon. It's a shame that we'll never know. RIP Stevie, your music will live on in our hearts.

  • This is the fine classic version of this song!
