  • Oh FUCK.

  • @waynerjson oh wait, I already said that xD

  • @waynerjson Yes, because there is a "better" in music

  • .....

    i like how everyone is afraid to say that stevie ray was more technically advanced in guitar playing than jimi hendrix was. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY TRUE, there are thousands of people more technically proficient at guitar technique than hendrix.

    what counts is hendrix's revolutionary ideas for the electric guitar, his impressive songwriting and his live shows which often were about raping or burning the guitar, and giving the guitar a personality (for the first time). SRV continues this legacy.

  • @sinprelic dont get me rong, u r right but hendrix is still amazin

  • @waynerjson Yes, because well all know that "better" is an acceptable term in music

  • Hendrix was the innovator, he invented an entirely new way of playing guitar in a very short career....amazing. SRV capitalized on this innovation and improved upon it. I highly respect both for their contributions to guitar and music as a whole, but I believe that they are in two categories.

  • OMFG! Guitar porn!

  • the only difference between stevie and jim is that Stevie's blues came from Texas and Chicago, while Jimi's came from the planet Jupiter!!!

  • puts all.modern guitarists to shame, particularly speed freaks, real.emotion real guitar work, the man was sensmeggingsational!

  • saudades for stevie

  • Guys, guys, STOP COMPARING STEVIE AND HENDRIX!!!! Seriously, if Stevie was here, he'd say Hendrix was the mutt's nuts, and if Hendrix had heard Stevie, he'd say likewise, they were so similar in terms of playing and technique, due to Stevie emulating his hero, comparing them together is wrong, they were equals, to me, Stevie is better, 'cause he's closer to my heart than Hendrix, due to finding him at a bad time in my life, but just enjoy their music, it's what they would've wanted

  • @Cptjackjacky they were nothing alike in style or ability. stevie was great and hendrix was good enough to get by. but i respect what you are saying, just enjoy the music

  • a real fan enjoys both Jimi and SRV, only trolls waste their time debating about who is the best.

  • It was uploaded in 2006 and still 104 thousands views,I really don't understand youtube

  • does anyone know what concert it this?

  • Good Lord Stevie! One of my favorite songs by him.

  • This Is Truely A Legend and His Music Will Live On FOREVER!!!!!

  • Oh,when music were not about looks...

  • @thormoura When music were not about the looks? You know you're talking about the 80's, right?

  • @insano6662 I didn't mean it that way, i meant it by its quality. :)

  • @thormoura haha you mean the 80's? yeah but i know what you mean

  • @cjfitz1 HAHAHA Yeah.

  • So many players today who can play a million notes a second, but this guy.......hit every single soul clawed note with passion and pain, theres blues......then theres stevie............rip u talanted man u <3

  • Man, he's like a one man led zeppelin band performing Tea for One

  • He did one of his best performances in Tokyo. Texas Flood also incredible.

  • true alchemist dont get to the crossroads they were here with the original

  • how does he play it like that like im trying to find tabs and there all the ones for his album version like this is insane the most amazing version ive heard imho

  • EARGASM!!

  • i'd love to have seen from his side of those eyes... SIC!!!! <3

  • I've never heard or seen so much pain displayed in an artistic way as did SRV on this performance. Thank you, Stevie, for I know I'm not alone.

  • His strumming hand must've been so numb after playing this...what an awesome guitarist!

  • R.I.P WE LOVE YOU

  • No words... Just great...

  • Once in a lifetime sound. True man! RIP Stevie

  • The absolute best strummer i have ever seen .. .Too bad, had to leave before i was born. Can you imagine what he would've come out with if he hadn't been taken from us by that god awful helicopter ??? All of it would be PURE Stevie: Grit, Soul, Power, Speed etc etc

  • @TheGibsonman59 I'm a huge SRV fan, but honestly he was heading towards the mainstream. We all love his music cause he's reckless and takes risks and that was fading in his later material.

  • @The727stpete727 pretty much my thoughts too, the first two albums blow all his other studio work away

  • @The727stpete727 More like something that has to do with jazz, rock or pop, no way mainstream.

  • Best Guitar Tone you will ever hear!!!!!!!

  • 2 people bathe in a DIRTY POOL

  • Nobody in the whole fucking world will play like that again.

  • @omarfusion amen!

  • @omarfusion AMEN!!!

  • OMG Stevie!!! RIP

  • The POWER this song has when turned up Really LOud is something out of this Universe...im with ya davidnoise

  • I miss ole Stevie. The best!

  • creo que me excite!

  • Pena que a juventude só ouve merda , e nem imagina que existiu um cara como este , GRANDE !!!!!!

  • damn! wtf steive?

  • My speakers wont go any louder god damnit!

  • I sure wish the camera person would have been focused more on his hands rather than his face. Still miss Stevie so much

  • Comment removed

  • @ivanarce89 tu puta madre

  • Check out maaa band :)

  • if you are not picking your jaw up off the ground, I am sorry for your deafness, ignorance or the tragic loss of your jaw. cuz this is fucking amazing.

  • Would you retards shut the fuck up with.."hEZ sUX jIMMys rULEz" when you get to the level of SRV, Joe Satriani, Yngwie, Vai, ERIC JOHNSON etc etc they're all great there's not one better than the other. To mention Hendrix in the same topic though it's just not right, only those from the 60s and 70s think Hendrix was great. He wasn't near these guys. We do owe it all to Hendrix, if it wasn't for him who knows if the electric guitar would have evolved the way it did. Not to mention the INFLUENCE.

  • @PinkyWontWork How can you even say that, because all the guys these days player faster? In blues kid, it's all about the notes you don't play. there's a reason why stevie loved jimi.

  • @PinkyWontWork Someone once wrote to Guitar World saying that Hendrix wasn't so great and that he could do just as good a job to which they replied "Yeah, but you didn't think of it".I saw Hendrix in 1967 and there was something very different about him,then and now.Satriani took up playing because of Jimi,your use of the word influence is so true.

  • @Mikeyaaa......yes Stevie was better than Jimi. No guitarists has ever played with that kind of power, reckless abandon yet at the same time was so precise and clean. Plus Stevie was good at a lot of different techniques...flatpicking, slide, chicken pickin. I've never seen anyone own the damn fretboard like him.

  • @waynerjson

    Sorry my friend. But as far as power is considered Freddie King was the best - concerning voice and guitar playing. I nevcer heard any other guy that would sing and play with such tension, energy, balls and soul than Freddie. Afterall he was a KING.

  • @Uggybow dont forget albert king

  • @waynerjson Comparing Stevie Ray and Jimi Hendrix isn't right,you should keep in mind that Jimi died when he was 27,if he would live as long as Stevie Ray or longer he could reach that height.Anyway Jimi is also incredible,I enjoy listening both

  • @Guample Hendrix did things that nobody knew you could do with a guitar at the time. Nobody knew those sounds existed. I'm a bigger Vaughan fan but everybody who plays guitar no matter what genre owes damn near everything to Hendrix because the guitar wouldnt be where it is today. Butterfly effect man. The smallest things in history cause the biggest titlewaves. Peace. Keep pickin.

  • @waynerjson to say Stevie was better than Hendrix is ignorant because without Hendrix SRV wouldn't have been the guitarist he was because he was inspired by Hendrix and tried to copy his style

  • @waynerjson your opinion

  • john mayer is good but, he can't touch Stevie

  • haha i love his massive gurn right at the start of the song!

  • LEARNING THAT STRUM PATTERN NOW! Such a musician with amazing showmanship.

  • this is pure emotion..

    one of the best i saw from stevie!!

    maybe i'm going to far for some of ya'll

    but i think stevie is a better musician then jimmy was..

    but that's my personal opinion.

  • @blingunit17..AND YOU ARE TOTALLY ENTITLED TO IT! A lot of times people freak out and start an unnecessary argument. I think Stevie was better then Jimi, and nobody should get mad about it. Free Speech!

  • WHAT A VOICE!

  • @mikeyaaa I hear you! It sends shivers done my spine! Sweet!

  • Stevie Ray must have paid some serious dues. I wish I could feel, just once, what he is feeling in this music. Every beat, every note is so intense.

  • i love how he jumps at the beginning, he was a legend! no scratch that, IS A LEGEND

  • you really hear that metallic sound in his heavy strings

  • the only man that can even be compared to jimmy hendrix

  • @yeaboi55.....

    I prefer Stevie over Hendirx. I don't compare the two, I just simply prefer Stevie's style of music.

  • Putain c'est quoi cette qualité audio de merde. Du son pour Japonais ça... Le blues mineur tout en feeling disparu pour cette espèce de truc dégueulasse...

  • @Verom89 Si tu ne vois pas de feeling là, t'as pas d'émotion man!

  • @AlexisGuitar94 Tu vas pas me dire que tu trouves le son bon? C'est censé être une balade de blues. On entend presque pas les autres instruments, la batterie doit bourriner pour se faire entendre!

  • This tone is so BRUTAL. I love him

  • @AlexisGuitar94 very well said....brutal is the only way to describe this performance...brutal in evey sense of the word....shit, he only played one fraction of the recorded version but dam...i got his message loud and clear....deffo one of the most brutal stevie vaughan performances ive seen....!!!!

  • PERFECT !

  • the POWER of his amps makes you not even want to bother pulling your rig out. Stevie you are a very gifted Human Being! im gonna make it to your level before i go.., thats a promise!

  • Too good for words. but "WORD!"

  • TONE !!!!!!!

  • Lord! This is under-rated!

  • Just too much!

  • very good

  • how the hell does he pick like that? it looks amazingly hard lol but he can do it perfectly and does that picking change the town at all?

  • He's just tremolo picking different chords. The trick is to have the stamina and preciseness that Stevie did with his right hand. John Mayer once said that Stevie's picking hand was what really made him special, and he was right.

  • i meant the motion where he goes from the bottom of his neck to the body back and forth

  • yeah,it changed it a bit, you you get a much softer bassier town when you pick on the neck, and a thinner sound closer to the bridge

  • This Charleys guitar sing so beautifully in the hand of Stevie!! This is the true texas tone that people are saying about! I believe it man!

  • I saw Stevie play about this same time in Tucson, Az. He was wearing this outfit, 'cept wearing a white hat. He opened for Jackson Brown, Don Henley and Stevie Nicks for a benefit concert.

    He came out blazing with Scuttle Buttin'. What a way to start a show.

  • uh - are these lipstick pickups on his strat?

  • yes

  • great great song by a great talent

  • He looks like he goes into a trance

  • GRANDE

  • Amazing

  • i cant stop watching this performance, i always go back to it. i got the SRV BUg!

  • he is the real guitar god no question

  • the best

  • how does he pick so fast

  • Sweep picking my friend ;)

  • I just had my first real orgasm.

  • @viduayte eww... but exactly what i would have said

  • @viduayte That's right!

  • @viduayte lol that's fucking awesome, best comment on here

  • @viduayte

    You are a sicko.

  • @viduayte 69!! yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Probably his best song ever, in my opinion.

  • I agree... this song is my fav slow blues song ever!

  • are those lipstick pickups hes using?

  • That is correct

  • Yup lipstick pickups! The guitar was built custom for Stevie by his good friend Charley Wirz. When Charley died, Stevie wrote "Life Without you" as a tribute to him. Thats why you'd see in every video that he plays "Life without you" he used that guitar. One beautiful guitar.

  • i agree. what a tragedy! he left us to soon

  • there will never NEVER never be anyone like him!

    I don't give a shit no one could touch him!

  • You damn straight no one can touch him!

  • to bad vids a litle out of sinc. but that was awsome!

  • This is pure ridiculousness. Good Lord.

    Thanks for posting this video. Keep's Stevie alive in my mind one more day.

  • only one ???

  • That's just sick.

  • GENIUS.......he still owns it all!!!

  • GOD AND MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE

  • hes just mastering it from the big tavern in the sky :d

  • hammer great!!!

  • oh yeah mine is aug 23 1990... my family was more upset that stevie died then excited aboot my birth... sad.

  • this song is fucking hard to play!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    he left his soul on every song and every note,another reason why he's an unique guitarist

  • yea, my birthday is Aug. 27 96 and srv died on Aug. 27 90, scary?

  • not really lol...million person did born that day

  • just sayin

  • you're an idiot.

  • Come on...who can touch him..NO ONE!!!! Ilove you SRV, thank you for the music!! Thank you for being the best Player, I have ever known!!! God Keep you!!!

  • defanatly a one of a kind player. Will never see anyone match that kind of style or playing.........ever. Miss you S.R.V

  • and singer...

  • this is the best thing i`ve ever seen!!!

  • It's an real pity and tragedy that Stevie Ray had to leave this mortal coil WAY before his time. Just like Jimi.

    Is this the price that SUPER talents have to pay? Tell me, someone, is it? Why can't ever an average talent musician be 'sacrificed' instead?

    Really sad...

    Frank

  • i no its unfortunate we lose greats like srv jime and cliff burton but were left with ozzy osbourne who should be long dead by now

  • it may be the price of selling your soul to the devil. not saying he did, but if he DID, i wouldnt be suprised.

  • Kind of hard to sell something to the devil that he already owns. lol

  • hell of a quote

  • would you sacrifice yourself then?!

  • This man takes my heart ripps it out out my body, and embeds his MAGIC on my soul!!!!

  • first time ive heard this song and i love it

  • Seriously, this is ecstasy.

  • That's how I want to play guitar. like my entire life is on the line. like the wind blows.

  • Why is there a video of John Mayer posted with SRV clips??? Is that dude a decent axe player or what?? I have to check it out - SRV still rules & always will, tho - we all know that for sure!

  • He's decent, exactly what you just said. When he's not singing his pop music he's not that bad of a guitar player. Stevie is one of his biggest influences

  • True Love is gone!!!!!

  • those lipstick tube pickups are giving him a wierd tone

  • blasphemy, next to # one i think Charley sounded the best out of Stevie's guitars. sexy as hell too.

  • blasphemy, next to # one i think Charley sounded the best out of Stevie's guitars. sexy as hell too.

  • killer 16th note chords!!!! stevie was.....im at a loss for words.

  • SRV-GREAT. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY?

  • haha i love stevie to death, but this version of dirty pool is missing a few words. compaire it to him an montreaux in 83, i think he messes up at 2:30 ish and then the song just ends hahaha lol.

  • How did he learn his chords????? Im still tryna work out that today...

  • How the fuck does he strum that fast and consistent for that length of time? I don't get it....! Awesome nontheless!!

  • hold the pick upside down... ;) you'll see... :D picking with a bigger surface makes it 20 times easier to do that...

  • Shame it didn't make the cd:(

  • Never mind:D

  • lol, ya nevermind

  • Oh that was the name.. haha, i've always been thinkin' that they were named "chromedomes" or something.. oh this video oh my god i love it!!! I wonder what SRV could do with 9. Gauge strings, haha he would sure break them, didn't he use 18. at his most?

  • At one point he was using 16 gauge on the high E. Later in his career he was convinced by Rene (his guitar technician) to use smaller strings to save his fingers (.012,.015, .019, ??? for the bottom three but you get the idea).
