  • is the neck scalloped? or is it just the light?

  • Very good, best I have seen on youtube. Now play it behind your back with 13 gauge strings while singing and I will bow down to you.

  • @JMarTz9 , something tells me he could probably do it! :)

  • mother F!!

  • Fantastic !!!

  • Nice, keep rocking!

  • WOW! - you're a star! (43k views in 4yrs?) - has the world gone mad?

  • where can i find more of your stuff?!

  • is ur neck scalloped?

  • Hey great cover but what are the notes to the part where he sings "standing next to a mountain. Chop it down with the side of my hand" or from about 1:12 to 1:32 thanks :)

  • inspirational....

  • man if u go big time u will have plenty of women throwin panties on stage lmao rock on brotha

  • guitar is so funky that during the course that goes goes along to thr "I stand up next to a mountain" I could of sworn I heard stevie singing along with you .Peace man your fucking incredible

  • fucking owned it man hell yeah good job

  • dude Im a drummer and dont know anything about guitar, but Ive played behind some great ones and you are a great guitar player. Thanks for the video and keep it up....

  • dude... go pro. u got magic in your fingers

  • very, very, cool !!!

  • Rock on man! Awesome job.

  • yu are fuckin great

  • Wow! I did not expect this to be so spectacular. Exceptional playing, with original riffs and great tonality.

  • had to watch it again :).reall reall kewl

  • its not very often I smile for 7min n 46 secs,thanks

  • Man fantastic....

  • One of the best on youtube.  True musician.

  • wow dude nice job !!!! Geat sound and if you people will notice he comes across as one of those guys who can play riffs REALLY clean if he wants ! Check out it out starting at 4:17 he lays back on the technique and gets some feel in it by backing off and just letting it ride a little ! NICE job man !

  • Sounds nice and smooth and pleasant!

    if there were 6 stars i would give them to you_!!!)

  • Are those scalloped frets?

  • Wow. That was sick.  Great tone! What year is that strat?

  • he said in another video of his that it was actually a squier! it sounds great haha

  • its a squier yeah but heavily modified.

  • sick playing and thats a nice tone what amp or effects are u using?

  • Nice job..

  • Anyone who actually plays guitar knows how incredibly hard it is to add all the little bends and vibrato when trying to sound like another player. This guy is the real deal. Believe it or not, it is harder to sound this close to a player especially someone like SRV than it is to play your own stuff. Any musician is well aware of this. So all the idiots out there that cop on people that post great videos like this, Try to achieve something like this yourself and then post a honest comment.

  • aweosme

    ima be a fan now

  • Really good job man. My one constructive criticism is that you tended to be a little bit too on top of the beat..it sometimes felt as if you were in front of it (though, your time was good overall). It could just be that you knew you were being videotaped, but I thought the only thing that was missing was the...in the pocket-ness you probably do have. Then again, this may be a matter of taste. So, again, excellent playing.

  • I love your channel!

    great cover!!

  • u have the spirit of Stevie in u bro.....damn i wish i could play like that

  • Excellent Job .

  • Holy Sh_t , awesome!! You and vintagetom have the best versions I ever heard! Can you please do stone free for your fans. Thank you

    good job

  • lol must be,

  • perfect cover man

  • nice cover man

  • wow really like everything about this! the tone, the phrasing and the rythm! and great feeling!

  • hey where u get the backing from?

  • He does them himself

  • read the discription.

  • great job!!!!!! XD

  • From one SRV practitioner/lover to another, fricken awesome!

    Fluid, killer tone, obvious inborn talent.

    I hope you set the world on it's ear brother!

    Joe public doesn't realize what it takes to get to this level.

    Great Job!

  • WELL SAID!!!! HE IS GOING TO BE BIG!!

  • sounds good in the bedroom:)

  • Not bad!

  • Good Cover!!

  • you're clean and tight. sounds good brotha

  • Good stuff man.

  • you sound exactly like srv.I don't know how you did it.keep it up

  • guitar swans a douche

  • wah wah wah wah pedle, cool stuf dude, i wish i had a guitar that could sound like that

  • I going to tell every single person I know about this. Their is talent, and their is talent. This has hit outer-space and beyond.

  • Hey no one is stevie butt that was damn good kid keep it up

  • This man has the right SRV style and passion !!

    Thank you, you are just GREAT. Hope you will post more covers of SRV.....

  • it is intresting to see that his play has no power in it, he is copy-cat but to copy strenght seems not possible to him!sorry but fact!all seems too soft!

  • supralee, what you interpret as lack of power is not that. He makes it look too easy. Looks like he could play it asleep. Your grammar sucks. sorry but fact! How much schooling do you have? Did you graduate from high school?

  • what is power, power is feeling inside you and you cant play it with no feeling.with static face.look srw, he really feels and so you can see it in his face.HE MAN REALLY FEELS.but that man only playes!if you can put even your anger that you rightly expressed in last comment into that song-good!it works!

  • supralee, just close your eyes and listen. What do you do when you listen to a cd? I guess you can't see power then, can you? Do you mean SRV? I don't know who srw is. If you listen to a song without seeing a person's face, how can you tell? Stupid.

  • i say black you white i say white you black!if somebody can say frighten you thats real thing! it goes to your bones!but that play lacks that kind of emotion and if you think that it is not so then he must be greatest quitarist of the world.technique is not the thing to listen!he is so busy with technical things that nothing more has left!boring is the right word for that!

  • Supralee, I don't really understand your grammar, but I think you should watch or listen to someone else. He isn't good enough for you. You must like Mayer. No more comments. Have a good day.

  • Just because he doesn't make weird faces doesn't mean he doesn't play without feeling. Listen for the feeling, its worth more than faces.

  • supralee, you are right. He is copy-cat. I can see this simple thing. Idiot! I can't tell him apart from who he is copy catting. Great compliment. I can't hear the difference either! Good day...

  • supralee - he calls song "SRV rendition," not Drivel's. He is NOT trying to express "youself." You are the densest person I have ever seen... He is NOT trying to do "best thing." Who else other than SRV can play this song like this as well as this? Maybe you? NOT

  • supralee, you make me laugh.  That was a good one. You of all people telling us what the definition of a word is....

  • Tru, I make all sorts of faces I cant help but that doesnt mean neccessarly play w/ more "Feeling"

  • Supralee, look at other people's comments. I think you are in the minority here. You seemed to like him playing "Thrill is Gone" at age 16 or 17. I have a problem understanding your English. Maybe you are confused.

  • so u want that i will comment like others!man you look for somebody else i am impossible case for that!

  • supralee, your English is horrible! What?... Unintelligible. Unfathomable. Incomprehensible. Nuf said.

  • so cool man, posted more you play very well, congratulation from argentina

  • Shazam!!!!

  • Badass...

  • man, don't listen to people who are gonna rag on you

    you've got some skill, play on brother!

  • If I look really close I can see where you spliced the film on this, a whole lotta trick photography. Nice try homeboy but you cant fool me. Really, its the best ive seen so far. Nice use of entire neck and lots of subtle variations. Total meltdown!

  • Are you joking?...

  • Not at all, if you look and listen really close you can see and hear where your guitar turns into Stevie's guitar. Your that good man!!!

  • I just posted a video - click on my name and click the video: for "Vaughnagain" - Voodoo Chile guitar feed

    I hope this settles it

  • Dude I'm sorry man, maybe I wasn't clear. I know your the real deal so don't trip. I was being sarcastic cause your so damn good. I don't actually think your faking it. By the way, I'm just now learning the song and using your video as a reference.

  • It's cool - It is just really hard to convey notions of sarcasm over a text-based form of communication. That's why I asked if you were joking. Thanks for your interest in my playing and have a good one.

  • @Drivel101 Lol it's the case of the fake troll xD, Kinda hard to imagine peoples "tone of voice" in a comment. Rofl.

    Veeerry nice playing by the way :D

  • Nice job man.

  • Nice work very nice....

  • That Kicks Ass! Nice one!!

  • highly enjoyable! thanks for posting!

  • you playing is great, but on this song you don't play with as much feel as the others.

  • hey mate , thts sweet what effects do you use?

  • beautiful man love it

  • wow bro, outstanding, got chills listening to it.....

  • Very nice tone Stevie and Jimi would be so proud. Great job!!! Post more vids.

  • Hey Buddy been listening to your stuff, can you tell me what amplifier do you use?

  • WOW

  • Hey man! you got some serious sounding setup there! what guitar effects and amp are you using?

  • awsome man!! gotta love stevie and jimi!! :)

  • Great playing!!

  • u're a great bluesman continue i enjoyed listning to u its better than srv lol

  • you're retarted, dont stink up this guys posts, he's got skills.

  • oi! wanker!!! give it a rest. no one gives a toss and you really piss us off with this bollocks

  • shut up and go put your head in the sand - You're just mad cause you can't do it. If you don't have something nice to say to a player like this keep it to yourself

  • hey you fucken no talent "tosser" mutherfucker, its obvious you dont know what talent and good music is over there in brit-land with your jumpin up and down dance music shit. He's got more talent in his shit than you have in your whole family tree. so fuck you.

  • Good job man , you rock ^^ !!

  • YOU ROCK!!!

    Stevie Is Watching You From Heaven And Shaking

  • is the neck scalloped?

    looks like a scalloped neck

  • Except stevie was not only exciting to listen to but exciting to watch. I would get so board seeing this dude on stage. Even though he is a good player

  • brilliant m8 ...just put a bit of feeling in!

  • dude.  wow. thats all i have to say. :)

  • too good man....since you play all of the instruments you should tape yourself playing them all then compose something with all of the intstrument clips...would be hot. keep playing man, you're amazing.

  • Thanks man - yeah I was thinking about taping all of the individual voices and mixing each video feed for my next recording

  • agree with Guitarplayer1490

  • closest I've ever heard to SRV's version. Really good man.

  • I really hope you are in a band and trying to make it man because you def have a good chance. though NO ONE can sound as good as stevie, you are by far the best ive heard compared to him.

    P.s. you stuff with the accoustic sounds perfect. thought about putting more accoustic videos up?

  • its more believable that i am jimi hendrix

  • SRV can rest in peace now that you're there. Superb skills

  • beautifull man, hella dig it

  • I pay nothing but blues and you sir are a genious

  • WTF man the real fake lol

  • Boy are you a d**k. Jealous lout!

  • this is real guitar playing as soulful and emotional as yours really is hard to find

  • That song is gonna get you laid.

  • abSOULutly the finest voodoo since SRV. damn near perfect and if i did'nt know better that was SRV. the only problem is STEVIE is a god to me. so i can't say it's better. so i'll say " next best thing " i'll favorite this and show all my bandmates that SRV is still alive in everyone's hearts. thanx for the tribute! ROCK-ON!!!

  • Jimi H and SRV would be proud of you.

  • amazing, close your eyes and it seems SRV. Hope you will not forget the blues when you'll grow up as KWS ( who making bad pop for now) ;-)

  • Wow great Tone = Awesome

  • Talent is not only in the fingers but the ears as well. You my friend have both. :)

  • Most amazing musicianship I have seen by a YouTube user, ever. You, my friend, are an amazing guitar player. This is the kind of shit that motivates me to keep playing guitar.

  • Wow.

    That is all i have to say.

  • Hope you make a living with this talent dont keep this to your room , man your amazing

  • this may be the best guitar playing I have ever seen on You Tube; a real musician, a nuanced performance; I do not see that SRV had anything on this guy; he should be in a band, I would buy his stuff

  • HEY MAN YOU ROCK :O!

  • wow, man, and you are so young! Very nice....

  • Thank you...

  • i'm the biggest damn SRV fan u could ever meet. and that was good. very good man

  • ohhhhhhh yeahhhhh

  • where did you get the tabs, i know it pretty close. but i dont know the lyric line where he sings and plays at the same time.

  • thought s. r. v. was good. this is brilliant... dam good playing

  • Superb

  • How many hours did you spend learning that song? I'm probly twice your age andI've probly spent as much time as you've been alive trying to play like that. I hope you are thanking Jesus daily for this talent because I am thanking Him just for the opportunity to hear you.

  • Awesome!!! Thanks. Can you do it again with a little closer shot of the left hand for those of us learning? Cheers

  • I think I'll just put my guitar away now....bye..bye..!!

  • I don't hear you singing. Not the same with no song

  • amazing, i emailed you please read

  • wich software do you use for the drums and the bass???

  • I played the drum set and the bass guitar myself before hand - no software

  • dude, you OWN. the only "problem" with this is that the bass over powers the drum, and the drum is key. now you, you ripped it up, i've been trying to play this for a few years now, and i can't hit it, GREAT JOB

  • Thanks, I'll take what you said about the bass into consideration next time I do a mixdown =)

    Have a good one!

  • I've watched this about a good dozen times, crazy good man!

  • DUDE! YOU are the reincarnated soul of SRV AND JH!

  • You are a gifted musician. I saw SRV twice before his passing and he would be honored to hear you play his and Jimi's stuff

  • Fukin SIk, Pisses me off, I gotta go get better than him

  • Good luck

  • awesome man...could be next srv touring partner

  • dude,this was right up there with being rewarded with my seeing my first aircraft that i knew could only be described as a top secret space craft of unknown origin, a ufo,and i mean after lots of consideration to it being something we are acustomed to seeing in the sky,wow-i wanted to smash my strat and put it right thru my cybertwin!

  • Too awesome for words...and what a wicked ending!

  • Awesome, but the ending is just out of this world.

    Love it!

  • Wow...that's VERY good. I've been playing for over 25 years and you have got some chops! Keep it up.

  • good shit man keep it up

  • did u use auto-wah at the beginning of the song?

    cuz i've been always curious about how Stevie did that wild Wah-wah things..

  • Nah, ya gotta use your pedal. It's a process of altering from extremes on the action of the pedal - i.e. strum when the pedal is pressed all the way down then when the pedal is all the way back. Kinda hard to explain.

  • NICE COPY

  • Better than FingersFreddy lmao

  • really good. almost and good as Jimi himself
