I have been playing guitar for 40 years, and I try to imagine the amount of time and practice it takes to get to this level. Sean you must be 237 years old my friend. I don't have the words to express how brilliant and beautiful this is...
This is actually crazy... years ago when I found SRV there were very little covers on TH-cam that actually did him justice. You're giving us SRV fans exactly what we've been searching for.
Amazing. Sean is the only guitarist that does SRV covers that I can listen to. He is respectful of the original and adds his own perfectly integrated stylistic touches to make it fantastic.
We've lost so many great artists way too early, and SRV was one of those near the top of the list. Wish we could have had him a few more years, but listening to this eases the pain a bit. Classy job!
Thanks a lot! Nice to see you noticed the Montreax version influence 🙌 one of my favourite SRV performances. I think the crowd reaction spurred Stevie on more and gave us this killer rendition!
Saw SRV live. Since then, I've heard so many cover his music. Most can get similar guitar tone and copy his licks, but there's always something missing. IMO, Stevie's right hand is what really made his playing (I think this is true for most guitarists). His phrasing is so dynamic. It can go from soft and gentle to extraordinarily aggressive, all while playing around with picking patterns, accents and syncopation. You're the closest I've heard. I also really appreciate some of your licks that are your own, but really compliment the song. This is really impressive.
A lot of folks don't seem to appreciate that the pick hand is every bit as important as the fret hand. One provides the notes, the other provides the FEEL. Sean definitely understood the assignment - this is an absolute tornado of excellence.
It's clear you absolutely play as well as any of the greats you cover . Seems like the next step is to showcase your own material so that others can try to cover you !
Sean you went crazy… again! And as usual, you somehow cover a song that I’ve discovered recently and love. Your timing is impeccable, in every way. Thanks for blessing us with your passion, for real 💜
Been playing 30 years now. This has to be the best and highest level of playing I've seen (aside from a very small amount of actual legends we all know). Certainly the most accomplished guitarist playing on youtube. If you play and know what you are looking at, this is THE absolute top level. Period. Thanks Sean. You are new to me, but it did not take long for me to hear the time and effort put in to this craft. Damn.
I've never seen or heard anyone match Stevie's tone let alone his playing. You, sir, got as close as anyone ever has. I'm absolutely astounded by the way you captured every nuance of his playing style and techniques, the subtle manipulations to the extreme pick attacks and viscious bends. I'm in love with that tone!!! I could play all day with that tone. And just like that, you just got another subscriber! Keep up the great work.
Sean, that was truly incredible! I've been a SRV fan since the 80's, and while I was watching this video I realized the magic of Stevie was his expression, just like you have shown here. He, and you, put emphasis right where it needs to be...It's like reading or watching a great drama - the writer knows just where to place the thrill and excitement in the scene. I'm truly in awe of your ability and interpretation. Thank you.👏
Wow! Amazing! Timing, touch, everything. SRV's enormous soul is found here, never heard elsewhere but obviously from SRV itself. Please continue, this is what we need.
As silly as it sounds I have always struggled with doing the dirty pool tremolo strumming sitting down. lol i always feel alot more comfortable using my wrist when im standing up and got some length from my right arm with a strap. but after watching this i can see what your doing and it works perfectly for me. thank you
It brings a tear to my eyes to listen and see such an incredible guitar player as yourself brother! Stevie would be proud of you for being as good if not better than anyone else that has jammed on his guitar lacks! Dont get me wrong, I think that Kenny Wayne Sheppard does a fantastic job on SRV, But you have set the bar a little higher than anyone i have ever witnessed! I appreciate you my man! Thank you so very much! I can't seem to quit smiling when I'm watching your incredible talent! A+ on your report card. 😉
Specfreakintacular. Such an exhausting song to watch SRV play. I can't even imagine how exhausting it is to play it. No real points of criticism man. That was just phenomenal. He would be proud to know his timeless music continues to live on.
Never thought I would see someone attempting to cover this masterpiece. Ohh my what a journey that must of been for you to master the soul pouring out of SRV 🍃 Brilliant No one should underestimate your extreme talent. Bravo
You absolutely killed this dude. I would pay money for tabs, love your sound and composition style, this is a refreshing take on the original that adds so much. Keep being awesome regardless of what some of the total losers in the comments section have been saying. Real recognizes real and I hope to see a lot more of you in my feed🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Holy shit! I’ve been jamming SRV for 25 years. Never heard anyone cover him as well as you. Phenomenal work. My 5 year old daughter just passed out 3 minutes in. I know what to ‘rock’ her to sleep with from now on 😅
SRV is my guitar hero! I've been listening to all he ever done on guitar. I'm just mesmerized on how close you are to his style and how much soul you send trough your licks. Give the new gen a taste of what real blues sound like. You're this close to his performance. :)

Agreed. Word for word. Nothing but respect from Hawaii.👌🏽@seanmannguitar
I was good......was........without daily playing and tour it's gone baby.
Right!!!!!!!!😂
This is actually crazy... years ago when I found SRV there were very little covers on TH-cam that actually did him justice. You're giving us SRV fans exactly what we've been searching for.
Means a lot, thanks!
100% Im 34, fan since 17!! Sean is the greatest!
Couldn’t agree more. Sean is a killer player!
Yes. We need a new SRV. Want to go to concerts.
It just gives hope that It is possible! This guy worked for it, and he's achieved THAT sound! those licks are absolute ear CANDY!
Thanks!
Amazing. Sean is the only guitarist that does SRV covers that I can listen to. He is respectful of the original and adds his own perfectly integrated stylistic touches to make it fantastic.
Cheers for watching!
not just SRV...follow and listen to his hendrix stuff, there is others but...the srv and hendrix covers are my bag! he does everything very well!
Bro I can listen you playing the guitar all day through, Keep on! All the best wishes from Brazil !!
Thanks a lot!
People have no clue how hard it is to to play rhythm guitar like that, great job man!
I hope the YT algorithms blow this up cause it’s an absolute masterpiece. 🔥🔥
Cheers!
We've lost so many great artists way too early, and SRV was one of those near the top of the list. Wish we could have had him a few more years, but listening to this eases the pain a bit. Classy job!
コレ、めっちゃ渋いな。ストラトの持ち味がFullに生かされ、レイヴォーンの様なエモーショナルなプレイが淀みなく展開されるのは感動モノ!!!
Always loved the 1982 Montreaux Festival version, this is phenomenal rendition with some outstanding original improv !
Thanks a lot! Nice to see you noticed the Montreax version influence 🙌 one of my favourite SRV performances. I think the crowd reaction spurred Stevie on more and gave us this killer rendition!

This is like hearing SRV in 4k
Appreciate that!
Playing,technique and tone incredible.
🙌
I could hear Stevie’s voice the whole way through. Phrasing and feel was on point man, thought I was hearing SRV
Fluidity of your right hand is mind blowing! masterclass.
Thanks a lot
Lightning fast tremolo strumming, killed it!
Cheers!
That tone is JUICY! You sound incredible! Very inspiring!
Dude your gonna have kids saying “ I wanna be like Sean Mann” insane playing bro🔥
SRV would be proud...great tone!
🤘
Sean you went crazy… again! And as usual, you somehow cover a song that I’ve discovered recently and love. Your timing is impeccable, in every way. Thanks for blessing us with your passion, for real 💜
Thanks again!
this song so addicting, really fun song i think
The tremolo picking over the neck has always been difficult, but man that little bit of extra sauce you threw in at 0:34... You're the man, Sean.
Cheers mate!
Blown away by your play . Keep Rock Alive 🎸🎸🎸

You did Stevie proud
All I can say is wow, fantastic, I am sure SRV is smiling and dig'n it hugely, again for my self, WOW.
Hope so!
That Right Hand is pure magic! One of my favorite SRV songs and Sean Mann you are killing it bro..

Oh my, that was perfect, 7 minutes not waisted at all. Stevie would be pleased.
I really like the way you do these demos. Especially for guys like me to see every movement. You're on fire man.
Cheers!
Love It! Great sound and satisfies my SRV bone! Keep up the good work. You have that one pretty much nailed.
Marvelous !!
This is the best i’ve ever seen. This video deleted all my guitar video history.
I am in love with your playing. You should do a masterclass
Love this. What I wouldn't give to have a rig sound like this.
🙌

WOW. I'd pay good money to see you play live man. Please start touring
live, montreaux, 1982, this is sick, bro)
I like the guitar, looks a lot of better than the fender. What a nice kind of sunburst color and the neck.
Pure mastery of an instrument.
Specfreakintacular. Such an exhausting song to watch SRV play. I can't even imagine how exhausting it is to play it. No real points of criticism man. That was just phenomenal. He would be proud to know his timeless music continues to live on.

Absolute virtuosity.

Man you make love to that guitar!
So frickin clean! Unbelievable, how can you be that precise and accurate?
Incredible!!!! Been looking for a detailed cover so I can learn it better
Goosebumps. Killer job 🤘🤘
Genius, no other words

Also, I would be so glad to hear a 15-30 min improv on SRV style blues played by you. Work on that please.
And you should try playing some Stray Cats / Brian Setzer songs. I cant imagine what you can do on the rockabilly genre.
Cheers!!
Smooth on the pickup selection
Live at Montreux dirty pool great !
Wow just amazing like always
Another leged performance
Mastery 👏🏻
