Hendrix was an innovator. Vaughan was a stylist. I have all of their recordings and love both of their playing. Vaughan wouldn't have existed musically without Hendrix.
Jimi no doubt. Jimi and Stevie were extraordinary players but Hendrix was a much better composer. I personally believe he was closer to being a musical genius by quite a bit.
Not true...Stevie had the Texas shuffle...and the blues...and jazz down...both were great...Stevie sang better...I play both of their tunes...yeah real music.Albert King daid jimi couldnt play the blues..so..
@@fredfloyd68 Albert, as great as he was, was jealous of Jimi's success.As I've gotten older, I've fallen out of love with blues rock players such as Jimi and SRV, but I still like a lot of their stuff. Albert covered Jimi's song Red House on an album, so he must have had some respect for Hendrix. Anyone who hears Hendrix play Red House, Hear My Train Comin', etc., knows that Hendirx was foremost a blues master. I prefer Hendrix's and King's voice to SRV's but Stevie sang fine. Hendrix played some "jazzy" stuff on live Red House recordings sometimes; neither SRV or Hendrix were on the level of jazz players. Wes Montgomery was a jazz master; neither Jimi or SRV could touch him in that idiom.
Hendrix created an entirely new direction and style of playing that influenced countless others, including SRV. It's like comparing Buddy Holly and the Crickets to the Beatles, who would not exist without the influence from the former.
I wished that they both could have enjoyed their magic together, what they had could reach to blues heaven on 6 strings. Imagine them now jamming on a star cloud and the angels are listening...
STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH. JIMMI SAID STEVIE WAS A BEETER GUITAR THEN HE WAS. SO I SAY STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN WAS THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER THAT EVER PUT HIS 2 FEET TO A STAGE.PERIOD. .... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Both of these guys were super musicians with 2 DIFFERENT styles of jamming! YOU CANNOT COMPARE the 2 because they were both the best at their styles of music!! I would say they were 2 of the best guitarist THAT EVER LIVED!😊 NOW let me ask you who was the best trumpet player, Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong? See what I mean......
Jimi who? Jimi Hendrix didn't say that c'mon dude! Your straight up lying! Two different guitar players! Both were great! Stevie wasn't a better guitar player! We we'll take Little Wing for instance Stevie did a wonderful rendition of it! Stevie's version he's not singing and playing. There's a difference!
Don’t get me wrong…I want Machine Gun cranked to 11 at my funeral, and Jimi is number 1, BUT Jimi was fucked up and sloppy a lot and his video library is just ok compared to the captured performances of SRV, most notably Texas Flood Live @ The ElMacambo. I think if Jimi had been in the audience that night he would have felt like Clapton getting his head cut with Killing Floor. …and that Jimi would agree too.
I have thought about this so much over the years. Taking vocals out of it (SRV is clearly a better volalist), I compare these guys to who is a better President - Washington or Lincoln. Washington was the first, he was the original, he set the tone and pace for the entirety of the our country’s history, and he easily could have been a king instead of a president if he wanted. But he also was president during a peaceful time (after the Revolution of course). Lincoln dealt with an absurdly divisive and split country, and made sure that it remained as one union, and he freed the slaves. No Washington, no Lincoln. Lincoln was likely a better president, but setting precedent and changing the course of history, for me, gives the edge to Washington. Same here - I think SRV is a better guitarist, and as much as I love them both (and I throw Buddy Guy into this mix), I give the nod to Jimi because he essentially invented a sound and style that forever changed the entirety of music. We are lucky to have them both, even though they are no longer here.
Hmmm... I'll listen to this a bit later, perhaps... when I'm more in the mood. Tbh, I really don't like these 'who is better' type videos... why not just accept that they are BOTH fantastic guitarists and leave it at that? I'll leave another comment later if the video changes my mind at all... but if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for my next comment! 😉
Although a fine Blues guitarist in his own right, SRV produced absolutely nothing that rivals or is even close to Jimi’s first 3 studio efforts. Claiming that SRV outdid Jimi on his own tunes, is delusional. I enjoy a lot of SRV’s music, but to say he’s on Jimi’s level is ridiculous. Jimi opened a new and exciting “Musicverse”, in which he remains the Master of, over half a century since his transition. We all are just disciples of that universe picking up the notes, sounds, and emotions he left for us……………
Jimi said Rory Gallagher was the best but they are all dead and you are comparing a guy that died in 1970 to a guy that died in 1990 after music changed but simple fact Jimi was and still is the best watch how he plays vs other players
You must understand when Jimi came out nobody played guitar like Steve Ray Vaughn. Not even Stevie Ray Vaughn threw you into the future like Jimi did, 15 min epic (1983 a merman should turn to be.) Nobody made ambient space music back then.

Would have loved to hear and see them do a collaboration. I guess they are jamming together now...

Jimi was THE original. He was the INNOVATOR. But he couldn't hold a candle to SRV when it came down to PLAYING the guitar. And it wasn't even close.

Just like Tom Brady is better QB, then Joe Montana; SRV was a better guitarist then Jimmy ,BUT without Joe or Jimi, neither would become who they
They were both awesome, different than the other but brought something very special that made them legends.
Love both!
There is room for an innovator and a keeper of the flame.

Neither are better. Both brilliant.

bro jimi died in 1970, well before SRV came to fame
No he did not!

I would say they were 2 of the best guitarist THAT EVER LIVED!😊 NOW let me ask you who was the best trumpet player, Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong? See what I mean......
That's a neat trick, considering SRV was only 15 years old when Hendrix died.
Jimi who? Jimi Hendrix didn't say that c'mon dude! Your straight up lying! Two different guitar players! Both were great! Stevie wasn't a better guitar player! We we'll take Little Wing for instance Stevie did a wonderful rendition of it! Stevie's version he's not singing and playing. There's a difference!

With out any bout's my #1 is Stevie Ray Vaughan. ❤❤❤❤
The original, that's who.
Jimi was better!
Stupid question!!!!! JH
Stevies fingers were faster to me than Jimi. I like Jimi,s singing voice better than Stevie.

Hendrix was better. Period.
Who was a better guitarist s is the question and you answered it. SRV Your correct
You must understand when Jimi came out nobody played guitar like Steve Ray Vaughn. Not even Stevie Ray Vaughn threw you into the future like Jimi did, 15 min epic (1983 a merman should turn to be.) Nobody made ambient space music back then.
Hendrix was just ok !!! Albert King said Jimi couldn't play blues !!! EVH wasn't great either !!! SRV Hendrix covers ,way better than Hendrix!!!
