srv will live forever threw the fingers of the young who have the talent thank you God for this man, him and Jimi are very proud of the gitarist that fine them amazing!!!!!
When SRV passed,, The Guitar greats of our time said by far Stevie was THE GREATEST !!! Eric Clapton said it best, Stevie was dialed in, he could just play forever !! Well I wish Stevie was still playing !!
There's probably 100's of bar bands around the world doing covers of this song at this moment and sounding decent doing it. What's the big deal about this version? It's pretty much a straight up knock off of Jimi's studio version.
@1257trebor First of all SRV NEVER played ANY cover note for note !!! ANYBODY can hear that,, so for you to make that comment is just stupid !! He took their song and he changed it to his version! I DARE ANYONE to find a musician that doesn't cover their idols !!!! EVERY muscian is motivated by someone they have heard and loved their style of playing !! Listen to songs that SRV covered of Buddy Guy, Stevie's are different in many ways both vocally and guitar wise!
@matthew909 has a little more high end on that pickup so it has a little more expression with a wah pedal... only reason i think he would use that pickup...
In My Opinion,...The Best Version of Voodoo Chile He Did Live, and He Loved Playing There At "Austin City Limits",..This was a Few Months Before his Death. Now He is Rockin In God's Blue's Heaven
Nothing was hard for him to play and this song least of all. This song was the only one he played on every gig throughout his whole and short career. He knew he played it good and he loved playing it. And he made it look as easy and effortless as walking in the park...that was one of his trademarks. Oh, and he hated it when guitar players were called "gods"
lol ok thats very true but all i was doing was complementing SRV on how good he was and saying he did a very good job of sounding like hendrix and btw i do listen to alot of SRV and you can tell alot of techniques used by SRV where first used by hendrix but i dont wanna start an argument im just saying great job SRV your sick, and too bad your dead like every other great musician (N)
amazing almost better than handrix himself as this song lol u can defently reconize that hendrix was his favorite player he plays like him so much with more blues inspired licks
no he doesn't , thats his downstroke rake stuff and effects adjustments. God i wish i saw him live , something you would saviour for the rest of ya days.
well he used heavy strings and played through two TS808s, as well as using some top of the line amps. The rest (most of it) was in his fingers...that's where it really started from. I don't know why everyone has to compare him to Hendrix. Really, they were apples and oranges. Arguing over who is better is the definition of the term "exercise in futility". Both were better than those who sit there and argue over skill. Both changed the blues, both are great listening material.

Listen, I've read some of your theory,s, there all fuckin wrong the only reason why it flys on here is because you give all the credit to SRV. Go to a Hendrix vid and tell them some of your so called knowledge on Hendrix & SRV. Nooo, you won't do that because you know better. Really, I don't care what you think I just like fuckin with ya. Jimi Hendrix kicked ass and so did SRV and if both of them are up in Heaven I know it's a PARTY. Stop jumpin on Hendrix fan's, you don't know SHIT.............
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yea Right, SRV was a Hendrix fan too jack ass. Ha Ha. Shut the fuck up would ya. Real SRV fans would kick your ass for talkin that way. The only LINK you know is the one your boy friend stiks up your hole. Ha Ha, sorry, I could not resist that one.
Ha Ha, I'm just jerkin your chain. Stop trying to sound like your so smart, Your Not. Hendrix & SRV will always be linked no matter if you like Hendrix or not so get over it.
jess stop being a jack ass and trying to demean a certain group of people, in your case being a musicians fan, hmmmmm doesnt that sound like nazis to jews "there horrible and resort to this and this and that and this and are inferior" douche
Why all the comparisons guys? all the Musicians mentioned are great and unique in their own way. Basically it's about personal preference, I love all styles and can appreciate all of the great players. For the record I love the blues and Stevie is my preference. So feel lucky to have all these talented people so sit back listen and enjoy.
Wikipedia?? I don't know as I don't use it... It's full of misleading information. I'll check out "Paco de Lucia" I'd say he's amazing... Have good weekend man!! :)
Correction I do know who Joaquín Rodrigo was, he was composer of classical music and a virtuoso pianist totally different musical styles, what a comparison... And for your information I am a huge fan of BOTH musicians and have studied both their styles for years, so I think I know the differences and comparisons between both of of them.... Adios amigos!!
One can compare both these players if one wants too, I personally dont like to but people do out there, hey thats life...
Bringing a classical player into the mix is extremely futile or as you say... Infantile. Sure why not bring some jazz players or fusion jazz players in, hell now that were here lets get some neo-classical people in along with my Aunt Sally shes plays the spoons very well....
Ok lets talk about Styles shall we, you do know what styles are right? Hendrix and Vaughan are both rock blues players; they play similar styles, techniques and have the same influences....
This is just damn hyptnotic, played with more soul than Hendrix, more exotic as well, it's been awhile, but RIP SRV, you are the best that ever was! Peace.
Well lets see. A comparison is warranted 1.because both are guitar greats, and 2. SRV is playing a Hendrix tune, yea that does sound chilich, pardon, bloody childish. And I believe this area is for personal opinions and comments, which is why I commented. Everything I wrote is my opinion only, my opinion only, so YES, SAY'S ME! So now you see, we each have an opinion and maybe we each are, or are not, "bloody Childish man"! Peace
Well I understand and yes of course you have your own opinion, and that's cool... But to compare these players just doesn't make any sense at all, I love them both but think Hendrix wins out here...
both hendrix and srv were in the clouds with their soul, and this is why you cant judge which one was higher - because you cant see past the clouds..
in my humble opinion, srv was better than hendrix both in terms of GUITAR and MUSIC, because he is this wonderful hybrid of albert king, unique blues rock and an almost purist blues influence.
jimi was more of an expansion of buddy guy, if you know what i mean.
and if not, research about who was 'hendrix' before hendrix played music.
Well here's my opinion.. Hendrix was before Stevie Ray Vaughan BOTH are great players. If Jimi hadn't been around there would be no Mr Vaughan and no one making comparisons on youtube. Hendrix was influenced by all the same blues players and Stevie. Hendrix was more original, better song writer, a Guitar pioneer also people forget he did it all in only four years. Besides Hendrix "Machine Gun" is breathtakingly amazing I'd like to Stevie attack that...
See, back to our difference in views, and I appreciate the fact that You are cool with me having an opinion but you actually prove my point. You just said "I love them both but think Hendrix wins out here... " When push comes to shove, we all make judgements, it's in our nature. I appreciate your thoughts more than I thought I would . We each like them both and it's rock and roll anyway. I will not argue this issue anymore, You're point is well taken and peace, may they be playing in heaven.
You make an excellent point. I'd anything to see them jam in Heaven (If there is a Heaven) who knows... I love them both as blues players anyway peace my friend take care... :)
damn! how does he bend those gauge 13 strings with such accuracy?! even if his guitar is tuned a half-step down, it will still be hard to bend. SRV is the best!!!
Either way, the man had fingers of steel. I run between 9s on my tele and 11s on my Eric Johnson signature strat, and the difference is crazy. That he could EVER get under those 13s is just insane.
He also used larger frets too to help with the bends. He also had crazy huge gorilla hands as well. He is definitely one of the gods of the guitar world. My hero I would say.
High Gain is not really all that true....Most of the clipping and overdrive you hear is from the fuzz pedal he has activated and Overdrive from the marshalls he was using at the time...maybe a ts9
You know this isn't only the best version of this song (and I'm a huge Hendrix fan) but I think its probably the best version of any song of any kind i've ever heard!!!! I'd never get sick of listening to that tone, RIP SRV!!!!
I was watching PBS fundraising with this being showcased (SRV Voodoo chile) The host says, "this is a great song Voodoo Chili" and no shit she pronounced it like the soup Chili! OMFG SRV dear God was the best.
Stevie's was Voodoo Chile. It's listed like that on the back of Stevie's album Couldn't Stand The Weather and he says Chile when talking about it in interviews.
Stevie's version is totally different than Hendrix's too. And of course Stevie never played any song the same way twice
It is a pretty badass lick, he uses it a lot in this song (and a version of it in a lot of his songs). Its running the pentatonic. I don't know if you literally wanted to know it but I'll put it anyway in case someone does.
By far the most aggressive version ive seen him play. What a loss! I've obsessed over this gentlemen for the past 7 years, he's my idol! Hope I see him in heaven.
the fastest version ive ever seen stevie perform of this magical song but yet he still manages to bring it nicely over the 7 minute mark that for me is unbelieveable and shows his real improvisation skills and his feel of music and any song he plays.RIP SRV
Does anyone know where he's performing in this video? I'm hoping to find an mp3 of this particular performance, not of the cover. This one is faster than any of the mp3s I've heard.
well, if it's opinionated, I really like your opinion a lot, ha. S.R.V. was the best of the blues, right up there with all the major blues players like B.B. King, Muddy Waters, etc. For him to do Hendrix is just phenomenal, and he did it so well, truly better in my pov.
by covering he is honoring jimi hendrix, SVR IS AWESOME

the craziest thing about SRV, is that you can learn every note that stevie has ever played but never quite sound like stevie.

it's Voodoo Child (Slight Return) not Voodoo Chile. Voodoo Chile is a completely different song that Hendrix wrote.
studmufinonastic 3 years ago
Stevie's was Voodoo Chile. It's listed like that on the back of Stevie's album Couldn't Stand The Weather and he says Chile when talking about it in interviews.
Stevie's version is totally different than Hendrix's too. And of course Stevie never played any song the same way twice

holy shit, that lick at 0:47!!! like, what the fuck is that?
Dabomb782 3 years ago
It is a pretty badass lick, he uses it a lot in this song (and a version of it in a lot of his songs). Its running the pentatonic. I don't know if you literally wanted to know it but I'll put it anyway in case someone does.

he "walked" the pentatonic scale.. his speed is incredible...

By far the most aggressive version ive seen him play. What a loss! I've obsessed over this gentlemen for the past 7 years, he's my idol! Hope I see him in heaven.

the fastest version ive ever seen stevie perform of this magical song but yet he still manages to bring it nicely over the 7 minute mark that for me is unbelieveable and shows his real improvisation skills and his feel of music and any song he plays.RIP SRV

Does anyone know where he's performing in this video? I'm hoping to find an mp3 of this particular performance, not of the cover. This one is faster than any of the mp3s I've heard.

It was part of the tv series Austin City Limits on PBS. SRV and Double Trouble live from Austin Texas.

zebolach; LOL??? Well, S.R.V. DOES do it way better than Hendrix!
I guess it's all based on opinion though.

SRV do it good =D
But you can't compare to Hendrix =x
Zebolach 3 years ago
well, if it's opinionated, I really like your opinion a lot, ha. S.R.V. was the best of the blues, right up there with all the major blues players like B.B. King, Muddy Waters, etc. For him to do Hendrix is just phenomenal, and he did it so well, truly better in my pov.
