u can´t compare guitar players... cause when u play its your soul speaking through the strings... clapton couldnt play like rv ansrv couldnt play like clapton. just enjoy a master playing the song of another master
Its just hard to understand how anyone can be this damn awsome, this man should have citys and airports and schools named after him! Stevie ray Vaughan should be in the Rock and roll hall of fame its a travesty that he isnt.
@savage3960 I think that RnR hall of fame has a policy that says that an artist can only be inducted 25 years after the artists first record, I think Stevie's first record came out in 1983(correct me if im wrong) so he has'nt been on the ballot too many years. But i agree he definitely should be inducted ASAP
Dicky Betts was once asked who was better, him or Duane Allman. Dicky replied that this guitar playing thing is not a competition. 'We don't keep score.'
it is irrelevant to argue who is better than who when dealing with different eras. stevie was a huge fan of jimi, idolized him actually. as we all do with our idols, we take something from them and try and improve on it. so in turn we do something "better", but we did not innovate. just as there are many guitarists out there who idolize srv, they will not be better,but might advance his style, and innovate their own style.
I will not venture as far as to say that Stevie was "better" than Jimi. But I will gladly say that talent is talent no matter how you look at it. SRV has been playing the "closest" version of VooDoo Chile for as long as he has been discovered and that says something for a man who went professional as a younger 20s guitarist.
You guys can go on with your whos better crap. But tell ya this, they would of had a blast jamming together and would not give a rats ass who was better. Nuff said......
@bassplayer4445 damn right man and stevie could have played the same licks over and over all day and run circles around guys who play with no feeling today
I agree with you, but here's a fun little factoid:
Eric Clapton told Stevie Ray Vaughan that he was "the best guitar player [he] ever heard". This happened at Alpine Valley, backstage, the night Stevie died. Four people can confirm that statement: Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, and Keri Leigh, who is the person that was helping him write his autobiography. It's documented fact. Eric Clapton knew both Hendrix and SRV, and said SRV was the best.
For the record, I love both, but I would also go with SRV if I had to, based on what I've seen and the rare bootlegs I've been lucky enough to hear (and there's apparently an underground bootleg coming out soon that's attempting to show the world how good SRV really was).
Having said that, yeah... Eric Clapton is qualified to decide. He knew both guys personally. He's arguably the most accomplished guitarist alive / guitar royalty. His recommendation speaks volumes.
@cavalrytm so, what makes ray vaughan better than hendrix? and what is the criteria that your basing your opinion off of when u say "based on what i've seen and rare bootlegs"? is it his guitar playing/skills? songwriting/compostion? overrall musicianship? overrall showmanship? creativity? originality? feeling? or all the above?
Good question. I was a diehard Hendrix fan and was surprised when I heard SRV the first time. They are so similar that it's frightening. Hendrix is arguably considered the tip of the spear by the majority, and there I was surprised that there was another like him!
So, I went on a hunt and found some incredible rare SRV shows that changed my opinion, bumping him into the lead. Performances that went beyond Hendrix. Impossible to describe. Hair on my neck stood up!
@cavalrytm fair enough. cant be mad at a person who would consider vaughan to be ahead of hendrix in some capacity and provide some good reasons as to why.
It's all good, dude. I just hope this supposed underground SRV bootleg finally comes out and it does what it says it's going to do. Apparently 30 of the 40 tracks have "never been heard by the majority of people" before. Might change some people's opinions of him. God knows all they ever play is the same old same old on the radio.
@cavalrytm yeah i mean i personally dont believe in calling any artist to be the best or being better than another (like its a fact and like music is a sport when its not) but i do believe that u can have favorites and u can favor someone over everyone else. my most favorite is gallagher but i wouldnt say hes better than anyone. He might impress me and float my musical boat the most, however i understand their are other great musicians whos made some great contributions to music.
@cavalrytm anyhow enough about that, its the first time that hearing about this project that u are talking about and the way u are describing it, it sounds very promising. Im down for anything vaughan related so i hope it comes out as well haha
@happy04346 get out. maybe to u but not to everyone else. i like gilmour too but there are too many other great musicians for me or anyone to just put above everyone else so really, no point in arguing/claiming whos the best of the best
@TheCityofgood thanks brother for taking the bait, I agree, tat's why I said "who's comparing who" all of these musicians have their own style and each style is unquie in themselves so to say someone is better it can't be done. I love Claption Billy from Zz Tops, Chelby Lynn Muddy Waters SRV. But if I were to take my last 20 bucks, to spend on a dvd, it would be for PF.
@happy04346 i kinda knew your comment was set up as bait for some kind of reason so i took the bait to see what u would say and i agree as well. Also about spending your last few bucks on PF, fair enough. Cant go wrong with the floyd haha
Awsome guitar solo. Can't compare srv toHendrix. Like comparing a 1971 Z-28 to a 1996 SS Impala. Both awsome cars but not in the same arena. I love them both,,,,,the guitar players and the cars.
@WALLAH00F To say that no one will ever come close to being as talented as Hendrix is completely assanine. You seriously will sit there with a straight face and say a guy from the 60's is better than every guy after him? He was indeed innovative, but he couldn't sing in tune and you know as well as I do that's a major part of the performance
@SuperIce45 regardless if he could sing "well" or not, it sounded good. Most likely why he was one of the biggest and most successful musicians for the whole 3 years or so that he went noticed.
@SuperIce45 Did I just hear another meathead so full of shit as this SuperIce45. Yes, a guy from the 60's is not only better, but light years ahead of any one after him... Jimi Hendrix. Some guys just refuse to wake up WALLAHOOF. SRV is a legend also.
both guitar players are my favorites hendrix came out with sounds that no one ever heard b4 and stevie ray vaughn played with an intensity that will never replocated and jimi said that after he died he wanted people to play his stuff and go crazy stevie is doing that
OMFG Just listen to thie improve in this performance, who needs to make a comaprison to anyone. Listen to the lead structure and the chord improv, no one not even ERIC could do this shit.
dunno bout better, think people payin homage like this should be allowed to, without gettin shit. this is a f'in epic version and payin homage at same time.
Anybody who compares Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix and has nerve to say that one is better than the other. That I don't understand. You are comparing apples and oranges, and while you may prefer one and that is your choice, superstars like Vaughan and Hendrix are both supertalent and each had something very different to offer. That's all I'm going to say.
Look at his first time at Austin City Limits (addicted) and compare it to his 2nd visit to Austin City Limits (sober) such an amazing difference for so many reasons. SRV was God walking the earth as a guitar player. I look forward to seeing him again. What a tragic loss for me to this day!
I'll admit SRV was an amazing guitarist. But really? I find it hard to respect peoples opinions when It comes to SRV being better then Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix took guitar playing to a whole new level. He made sounds that made you think to the future, around 20 years into the future. I saw him play, and honestly, no-one in the world, will ever come close to having the talent Hendrix possesed, it wasn't human what he could do on guitar. N-one will ever come close, to being as good as Jimi Hendrix.
@WALLAH00F But wasn't Hendrix notorious for buying pedals (he commissioned and paid ridiculous prices for his specific demands as far as tone/gain/presence/distortion requirements). So to say that Hendrix was above "human" ability...well, just saying!
@WALLAH00F A dozen guitarists have come close, and to disrespect every opinion that doesn't coincide with yours is childish. Jimi's own personal favourite guitarist was Billy Gibbons. It's NOT a pissing contest.
@WALLAH00F There are plenty of amazing, groundbreaking guitarists in this world. Jimi Hendrix was truly inventive and inspirational BUT, he was NOT the be-all, end-all guitar player, no matter how much you want him to be. Don't be so narrow minded.
@WALLAH00F Dude!!!!! lol how can you compare 2 greats like that? SRV was a way smoother guitarist. Hendrix was a freak but im telling you now! SRV Had some much more to offer! SRV is the greatest blues guitarists that ever lived ask all the guitar greats! they will tell you the same thing!
its not talent that hendrix possessed. it is the ability to play something that he feeels is right. stevie could not read music but he could play his heart out enough to play his soul sou go fuck your self into the oblivion that we call life.
@WALLAH00F As much as I love SRV to death, I have to admit the same. No one... not anyone even today comes close to Jimi. Even Van Halen and Satriani are way below the two legends... SRV and Jimi.
@facereto 100% agree.....Van Halen is good....GOOD...not close to these guys though and Satch...I love him, but he doesn't carry the emotion these guys do...he a flawless technician.....:)
@WALLAH00F To ignore the genius that is SRV is negligent in a fan of the great guitarists. Stevie and Jimi share a spot at the top.....Just saying Stevie's covers of Hendrix tunes were hair raising tributes to a guitar god. Stevie deserves to share that title with Hendrix....they were both channels of the music gods and well above the rest of those guitar greats. They were both special and gone way too soon.
@WALLAH00F SRV es un mostro loco, Hendrix no sabia nada de guitarra solo canalizaba lo q tocaba parecia poseido, pero SRV tiene un virtuosismo pocas veces visto en un guitarrista y estos covers son considerados los tributos maximos hacia un guitarrista q creo la mistica de la guitarra, pero no sabia afinarla, si Hendrix fue un Dios, los 3 Dioses son SRV Clapton y Hendrix este cover y el de mocambo son moustruosos . para mi Hendrix es el pionero de la guitarra pero no el mejor sinceramente.
@WALLAH00F SRV is funny compared to hendrix and hendrix is funny compared to SKYDOG and every guitarist in the world is lame to mr.robert johnson the man
@WALLAH00F Jimi Hendrix said in an Interview for an English music magazine, that SRV was the greatest guitarist he had ever seen, Can't argue with a statement like that :)
@mattlizard29 Mate are you high? Jimi Hendrix died when SRV was 16. SRV was hardly even famous when he was 16. He just played at local places with a few bands. Hendrix never would of heard of him. I've realised that both these legends would hate us saying that one or the other is better. Jimi said and I quote, "I don't compare, its where we make our biggest mistakes Trying to put our ego against another persons." Both of them would hate us saying who's better.
@5ilent5am hes doing it with a wah pedal but you can use your pickup switch. put the tone u use for the hole song at 10 and the other one at zero. when you bend the 2nd fret of the g string you start moving the switch up and down fast and youll get tath sound
@harley9967 I'm SURE it's an Octavia pedal because as you can see at the intro wah is not at the same place and why you would have 2 wah pedals. Stevie used Octavia alot since later 1989-1990 and wah doesn't sound like that. He used Octavia in Texas Flood as well(late 80s) Peace. :D
@SuperNesmaster Stevie liked a reverse/lefty tremolo bar because when he went crazy and started whammying a lot if it was in it's regular position it would tear his shirt sleeves up. That and it gives it that Hendrix vibe
@MsCanadiancougar He never died in a plane crash. The helicopter he was in crashed into the side of a hill at Alpine Valley ski resort, Wisconsin. I was there that night.

Stevie and Jimi share a spot at the top.....Just saying Stevie's covers of Hendrix tunes were hair raising tributes to a guitar god. Stevie deserves to share that title with Hendrix....they were both channels of the music gods and well above the rest of those guitar greats. They were both special and gone way too soon.

@WALLAH00F SRV es un mostro loco, Hendrix no sabia nada de guitarra solo canalizaba lo q tocaba parecia poseido, pero SRV tiene un virtuosismo pocas veces visto en un guitarrista y estos covers son considerados los tributos maximos hacia un guitarrista q creo la mistica de la guitarra, pero no sabia afinarla, si Hendrix fue un Dios, los 3 Dioses son SRV Clapton y Hendrix este cover y el de mocambo son moustruosos . para mi Hendrix es el pionero de la guitarra pero no el mejor sinceramente.

@WALLAH00F I think Stevie would be first to admit that as well. He was an incredibly humble guy given the monstrous talent he had.

@WALLAH00F Jimi Hendrix said in an Interview for an English music magazine, that SRV was the greatest guitarist he had ever seen, Can't argue with a statement like that :)

harley9967 1 week ago
@mattlizard29 Mate are you high? Jimi Hendrix died when SRV was 16. SRV was hardly even famous when he was 16. He just played at local places with a few bands. Hendrix never would of heard of him. I've realised that both these legends would hate us saying that one or the other is better. Jimi said and I quote, "I don't compare, its where we make our biggest mistakes Trying to put our ego against another persons." Both of them would hate us saying who's better.

@5ilent5am hes doing it with a wah pedal but you can use your pickup switch. put the tone u use for the hole song at 10 and the other one at zero. when you bend the 2nd fret of the g string you start moving the switch up and down fast and youll get tath sound
takekoins 1 month ago
@5ilent5am You hold that bend and you tap your wahwah pedal. An other option is to flick your ''pickupselecter'' up and down

harley9967 2 weeks ago
@harley9967 I'm SURE it's an Octavia pedal because as you can see at the intro wah is not at the same place and why you would have 2 wah pedals. Stevie used Octavia alot since later 1989-1990 and wah doesn't sound like that. He used Octavia in Texas Flood as well(late 80s) Peace. :D

Why is his whammy bar above the strings?
SuperNesmaster 1 month ago
@SuperNesmaster Stevie liked a reverse/lefty tremolo bar because when he went crazy and started whammying a lot if it was in it's regular position it would tear his shirt sleeves up. That and it gives it that Hendrix vibe
