Jakethescot, it's very obvious you have never played an instrument, Did you know that the King SRV took most of his riffs from Albert King and the like? as they took from Robert Johnson and so on, It;s your spin or twist on it that makes it something to listen too. Spend 20 or 30 years with a guitar and maybe this will become clear.

@jakethescot...pretty sure anyone that can play this well is worth watching...and thats why you did

[HoleHeadedLiar]

@jakethescot And SRV was a blatant rip-off of Hendrix, and Buddy Guy, and Larry Davis, and the list goes on.

Something you need to realise, is that, the farther south you go in the US, the meaner the guitarists get. You get hit in the head with a PBR enough times, you're gonna get mean, and QUICK.

Also, if you are talking about the similarity to Texas Flood, it wasn't written by Stevie Ray Vaughan, it was written by Larry Davis. Stevie Ray covered it note for note, rasp for rasp.

Generally I must say the SRV influence is clear, but KWS albums and songs are completely different to SRV's style. As someone said SRV borrowed heavily from Albert and so it goes on. Its the songs that are really important, SRV was famous for being a great guitarists,but without his amazing voice and great songs we wouldnt have heard him.KWS is doing his thing fantastically, I loved Live In Chicago and 10 days, exactly what SRV would have done if hed have lived, KWS is keeping that spirit alive!

@jakethescot maybe youd understand knowing the drummer from srv's band was playing with them that night. rippoff? more like tribute.

@jakethescot I felt at first he was very much like BB King, and then went more into a SRV style. To be honest though it's his style, he does not sound exactly like anyone down to a T, but he does sound simular to many artists. It's pretty hard to be original, as in, play without learning ANY music, because music (including scales) are written and used by people, so to copy that would be copying somones music.. Not really a bad thing imo but a lot of people get bothered about it on here..

[HLE83]

@jakethescot SRV wasn't completely original either---he borrowed heavily from other artists, including Albert King. Kenny's an awesome player, keeping the blues alive. Yeah, he is influenced by SRV but so are many guitarists. But there's a whole lot more than just SRV in his playing you just have to listen (and know blues music). And as Nate said, no one's completely original anymore.. Seen Kenny live may times and I've never been disappointed. Puts on a hell of a show.

[natezach97]

@jakethescot hey man no ones original anymore so you cant insult him on playing what he knows. get over it you'll be ok.

[jakethescot]

That was hard to watch. He's such a SRV ripoff it's pathetic.

[huebertd]

That was pretty awsome. He just kept on jamming.
