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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
@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
@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!
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...
@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!
@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....!!!!
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!
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 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.
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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).
Oh FUCK.

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).
