@codehendrix Listen to "A'int givin up on love" then tell me he played to fast. You can play fast phrase well at the same time, they aren't mutually exclusive. Not everyone who plays fast sounds like Yngwie Malmsteen. SRV is proof of that!!

In terms of guitar players, they do a lot of talking but they say very little. Not stevie.

@codehendrix ...really?.... well as a guitarist for over 20 years, I'm pretty sure I understand what phrasing is....perhaps it is you who thinks they understand...but should gain a deeper understanding of guitar phrasing. Ever listen to "Texas Flood"..."Lenny"....."Life By The Drop"?? All perfect examples of great phrasing and chord structure. Your opinion may be that all he did was play fast.....but the proof is a fact undeminished by mere opinion.

@codehendrix ...ummm...what? SRV didn't phrase well??? he just played fast???....lmaoooo.....riiight

Yes he was indeed a great guitarist,what was more amazing is his humble vibes and the respect he showed to the blues greats before him,who helped him along the way.
