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.
Would've loved to see these two on stage together side by side. Rest In Peace to the both of them. Thank God their talent was recorded so we could have them to this day.
So tried of this fantasy of Jimi learning from Buddy Guy as if he actually taught Jimi anything like what Albert King did with SRV. Unlike Buddy Guy Jimi was a unicorn. No one sounded like him before and no one since unless they are playing his songs. So let's give Jimi his proper credit for what he created.
@electric8668 ok.. Regardless of who learned from who ppl learn different things all the time to be able to become great.. So I feel that is what Jim and Steve done.
SRV was one hell of a guitarist. He inspired generations to play the guitar. Great voice for his style of music as well. Jimi created mind blowing sounds with the guitar never heard until he came onto the scene. His singing style and vibe were Cool at the highest level. His playing and work in the studio were genius. I was fortunate to be alive when Jimi released Are You Experienced. Our initial reaction lacked words... Uh What? It was scary ground breaking. I didn't feel that when I listened to SRV, but was very impressed. It sounded "familiar" to me. There were elements of other players in his playing. A large degree of Stevie's fame came from covering Voodoo Child and Little Wing. Personally I felt it was fantastic guitar playing over ok rhythm tracks. As a guitar player in the 60's with many friends who also played, we didn't attempt to perform Jimi songs. His sound was not easy to replicate. Nor his singing style. I didn't know of anyone trying it until the 70's - Frank Marino. Kudos to SRV for reignited Blues Music though. He single handed brought it back to life. Both were great guitar players, but Jimi was a creator of a new sound and playing that inspired the likes of SRV. In my humble opinion, Jimi was one of a kind. Both will stand as greats.
Respectfully disagree. I see this notion all through some of these comments--that Stevie somehow wouldn't have "existed" without Jimi having been on the scene first. That is just silly. Stevie was a blues player. That was his first and abiding love. And all due respect to Jimi, but he really wasn't that great a blues player. As is true of a lot of his playing--even where he is "innovating" -Jimi was often sloppy. Compare Red House to Texas Flood. There really isn't any comparison. Stevie didn't "need" for Jimi to have existed to become the blues phenom that he was. He needed Albert, Freddie, BB, Hubert Sumlin, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Lonnie Mack, Chuck Berry and on and on and on...and his older brother Jimmie. Obviously you need to include Jimi as one influence among many. But Stevie wasn't trying to "be" Jimi. He was trying to recover the straight ahead blues as it existed 20 years before Jimi, just at a massively greater level of intensity and technical prowess. None of this is to detract from Jimi's originality. I think it is an easy call to say that Jimi innovated more than Stevie. I will give him that. But Stevie was just a more powerful player. I was in Austin from '81 to '86 and in Houston before that. During that time period, in the years before Texas Flood came out, you could see Stevie all the time at Steamboat Springs, Antones and Continental Club in Austin, or at Fitzgeralds or Rockefellers in Houston. His fame didn't derive from the fact that he covered Voodoo Child. That is daft. His fame derived from the fact that he was utterly virtuosic with the guitar and played hundreds of gigs a year at these small clubs, building a following one show at a time. There are so many examples it is hard to know where to begin, but just picking at random, I would say listen to something like You'll Be Mine or Shake For Me or Rude Mood. I can't think of any song where Jimi demonstrates that level of technical mastery, where he is so precise and flowing, and at such high speed.
And p.s......other more obvious comparisons would be to listen to their respective versions of Jimi's originals, Voodoo Child and Little Wing. Again, all kudos to Jimi for writing each song, but Stevie just played them better, in my view any way. These things are subjective, but purely at the level of technical competence, I think Stevie's versions are more impressive. And, let's not go entirely overboard in praising Jimi's "originality" anyway. Little Wing is a beautiful song, but so is Lenny. Voodoo Child is a Muddy Waters riff with a different rhythm. And if we are REALLY being honest, neither one of them had the musical know how of the great jazz guys. Everything Stevie and Jimi each did--notwithstanding how much people go on and on and and on and on about Jimi's supposed groundbreaking originality-was basically simple stuff, if you compare it to the harmonic complexity of jazz. I love Stevie more than any other performer, but I acknowledge that if you stuck him in a jazz trio and stuck a lead sheet for a standard in front of him, he'd be lost. Same for Jimi. So there's that.....
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...
Amen for speaking truth . .. this is me back in the day ,was called up to do a music festivtal in Fiji .1997 hadnt played since 1991 and i got a sudden call to please come down and join us! th-cam.com/video/JTN6XBIL9AM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AX8Rq7O9kMIrRpK7
Stevie once said the quote stating the small difference between Hendrix and himself “Jimi played everything that excited him , and I play everything that’s ever excited me” They’re both guitar virtuosos , they both play blues rock , but different types of blues rock , so it’s not quite a fair comparison. Just because Stevie was considered more technical that doesn’t make him better and just because Jimi came before Stevie , that doesn’t make him better. Anyway , I don’t think they would’ve even thought who’s better between them , they wouldn’t have just warned to jam. Both legends rest in peace 🎸
They were two great guitarists! No question no doubt, with that fact being said. Let's look at the results of their being. Jimmy being left handed and playing a right handed guitar making the sounds that he did, wow! Give some other guitar hero who play right handed a left handed guitar and let's see them keep that hero status? Now SRV, took the batton from Jimmy and pushed the guitar a bit further. Yes you could argue that he simply had better equipment than Jimmy, but which hero pushed the guitar farther than Hendrix or Vaughn? None! I see them as "Yin" and "Yang". I only hope that sometimes soon some kid who hears these two greats play picks up his/her guitar and takes the guitar where it's always aspired to be, in the heavens. Thank you
When it comes to the electric guitar there is Pre Jimi Hendrix and Post Jimi Hendrix, he changed to way people listen and played the guitar, no other guitar artist is even in the Building. One of the few guitarists ever who could play rhythm, lead, sing on top of it and do acrobatics on stage. 1. He was incredibly creative 2. His technique was superb 3. He was a great songwriter 4. He was a great singer 5. He was a great frontman. He didn’t need to play fast alternate picking runs or sweep picking or tapping tricks , he was above that. No one even comes close to him He invented a whole new style of playing. He by himself changed the way people thought about the electric guitar. He singlehandedly redefined the musical vocabulary of the electric guitar and changed music forever. When Jimi hit the scene people were hearing noises they had never heard from a guitar.
@@jeffmason2691 jimi him self said he made a lot of mistakes playing the guitar at best he was a sloppy guitar player , jimi couldn't touch Stevie Ray Vaughan and that makes Stevie Ray Vaughan the G.O.A.T end of story 👍👏🔥🎸❤️🇺🇲💯 !!!
I only listen to Hendrix, I'm not a fan of Stevie. No one even compares to Jimi's futuristic type sound. His musical arrangements bruh, The man can see things from from a different dimension, a dimensional pinnacle that other guitarists can't reach. Lol
All the two are absolutely outstanding! I mean, they both conquered the world, coming out of nowhere and making history. Hendrix came with something that seemed impossible, you know, a guy who came from Seattle, out of nowhere and just changed the way of playing, all understanding of the guitar, was like a very gentle slap in the face to all the guitarists of his time. Stevie just appeared out of nowhere and also changed the way of playing AGAIN, in a time that the Blues wasn't even at its peak, you guys can imagine that? They both conquered the world by their way of playing and trying new things, blowing us all, you gotta be some kind of a wizard orpheu shit 😂😂 TWO GENIUSES ❤❤❤ miss they two so fmuch.
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 agree to the extent that jimi's sound and style may not have ever developed in the rock and blues world without him. he was one of a kind. he was just getting wound up when to much of a good thing took him and the rayvon away. rip jimi, and you to stevie.
Hendrix's song writing and innovation was other worldly. he did a form of psychedelic rock and blues, outer space stuff. There's no forgetting that when you grow up in the late sixties and early seventies. The mold is set.
Robert Cray, Albert King, BB King, Lonnie Mack, Buddy Guy, and Jimmy Hendrix molded into one made Stevie Ray Vaughan ! They all had their own styles of playing...
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.
SRV was the best because he was more polished, he was a machine on the guitar! he played Jimi's songs even better than Jimi did, he was more polished but I see your point about Jimi, they were both excellent on the guitar.
@@chrisgronskei5416 Have to disagree. It's always easier to take someone else's work and tweak it than to come up with something from scratch all by yourself.
Those who choose SRV are not real music lovers. He didn't do anything original and he was a mediocre songwriter. Jimi was a true genius and he still has no equal. SRV doesn't even come close.
Most of these comments concerning speed, listen to Driving South, BB radio,Hendrix Is playing at INCREDIBLE speed, he's littery splitting notes causing this screaming sound, Its amazing!!!!!! check It out .
My parent's is the 80's, I bring that question up, who is better. My Pop aurgered both died at a young age being the legends? I can say, they won't be replace soon?
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……………
Thankyou....4530. For all of these people who think otherwise, keep reading his comment over and over again until those foolish thoughts of comparing Jimi to SRV leave your silly minds.
They are totally two different guitarists. We are talking apples and oranges here. Just because Stevie Ray Vaughan covered two songs of Jimi Hendrix they compare the two as though they were the same guy
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! 😉
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!
I think SRV was better but hendrix was definitely ahead of his time but SRV was on a mission and almost lost his life doing it before he did lose his life.
SRV was basically a Blues guitarist who in my opinion owes a major debt to Albert King, more so than to Jimi. His covers of Jimi’s music do not, repeat do not put him on Jimi’s level. He was not an innovator nor did he bring anything new to guitar sounds or technique. His biggest accomplishment imo was being at the right place and time to bring the Blues back to the mainstream.
"Machine Gun.". " Driving South" "Hey Joe" live from Monterey1967, 'Hear My Train A Comin" /"Johnny B Goode "Berkeley 1970 ; " Red House"- San Diego Sports Arena; Electric Ladyland; Axis Bold As Love; Band Of Gypsies..ect..sorry kids its not even close.
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
WHAT ABOUT RANDY HANSEN . THAT`S THE NEXT TO HENDRIX HEAVY WEIGHT AXX PLAYER YOU MIGHT SEE HE IS THE CLOSEST TO HENDRIX.HANDS DOWN CHECK HIM OUT THEN YOU WILL SEE .LET ME KNOw ASAP.
Jimi created and painted the Mona Lisa. SRV copied it so there you have the obvious answer.; Jimi is unparalled. BTW This reminds me of the Jordan vs Lebron G.O.A.T. debate Jimi and Jordan are the GOATs of there respective disciplines. Now a better discussion would be SRV vs Gary Moore and I'd say Gary Moore was more talented and played better.
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.
Jimi invented it, Stevie polished it up
I agree with your assessment. Without Jimi, Stevie would not have risen to his Star. However, I love SRV...
I agree 💯
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 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
It doesn't matter who you think was best - They were both GREAT.
Both defines the Olymp of Blues and Guitar. Unmatched Giants.
Would have loved to hear and see them do a collaboration. I guess they are jamming together now...
Would've loved to see these two on stage together side by side. Rest In Peace to the both of them. Thank God their talent was recorded so we could have them to this day.
Simple one was a imitator the other an innovator... jimi and evh were game changers .
Neither are better. Both brilliant.
Prince and Hendrix and stieve.🎸✝️🗽
They both are, they learned from the Best... Buddy Guy
But Jimmy is like Jordan he took a style and changed the game..
So tried of this fantasy of Jimi learning from Buddy Guy as if he actually taught Jimi anything like what Albert King did with SRV. Unlike Buddy Guy Jimi was a unicorn. No one sounded like him before and no one since unless they are playing his songs. So let's give Jimi his proper credit for what he created.

@@antoniobrown6050 There's a big difference between a cretor and a copier? Jimi was the creator and SRV was the copier.
Both are kick ass 🎸🎸

SRV was one hell of a guitarist. He inspired generations to play the guitar. Great voice for his style of music as well.

jimi.... even in one or plenty notes, each note has orgasmic sound and i can't defies what is that... he was a guitar magician
SRV was a fine player, but you can't really compare him to Jimi Hendrix, who was on another level.
Yeah it's like people trying to compare Lebron to Jordan. Jordan is Da Goat as is Jimi.
i agree to the extent that jimi's sound and style may not have ever developed in the rock and blues world without him. he was one of a kind. he was just getting wound up when to much of a good thing took him and the rayvon away. rip jimi, and you to stevie.
Well said
There is NO " better " music is not a competition.
Dude some music can be trash and therfore some better.
Hendrix's song writing and innovation was other worldly. he did a form of psychedelic rock and blues, outer space stuff. There's no forgetting that when you grow up in the late sixties and early seventies. The mold is set.
Robert Cray, Albert King, BB King, Lonnie Mack, Buddy Guy, and Jimmy Hendrix molded into one made Stevie Ray Vaughan ! They all had their own styles of playing...
They're jamming in Heaven, now and forever.
No body is playing rock and roll in heaven.

John is the best I've ever met or played with
Jimi was better!
The bar to reach still has Jimi’s name on it. We must remember that it was not only what Jimi did but when he did it.
SRV❤️🔥🔥
Jimi did all that innovation and influence in only four years. Who else on earth could match that?
SRV was the best because he was more polished, he was a machine on the guitar! he played Jimi's songs even better than Jimi did, he was more polished but I see your point about Jimi, they were both excellent on the guitar.
@@chrisgronskei5416 Have to disagree. It's always easier to take someone else's work and tweak it than to come up with something from scratch all by yourself.
Jimmy was the first Jet of airplanes ✈and Stevie was first to break the sound barrier, the rest is history... Enjoy your flight ( :
Stevies fingers were faster to me than Jimi. I like Jimi,s singing voice better than Stevie.
You got to be kidding, Stevie's voice was golden.

Many people would disagree with your assessment. I love them both equally. Both were innovators.
@greggtrubee9565 SRV an innovator? What a joke.
@@hesch-tag The joke is in your mirror.
A gem is the same on all sides, just enjoy. God bless us all. We were in luck.
Both are great but Hendrix was an innovator, creative genius. He wrote better and created super studio stuff.
Most of these comments concerning speed, listen to Driving South, BB radio,Hendrix Is playing at INCREDIBLE speed, he's littery splitting notes causing this screaming sound, Its amazing!!!!!! check It out .
Hendrix was better. Period.
Jimi is the greatest ever! Nobody on that level play like him. What you have witness only come one times in life!!
Jimi started it and Stevie followed!!!
Even took Jimmy style of dressing and started playing his music after he passed
An interviewer asked Hendrix what it was like being the best guitar player in the world. Hendrix said he didn't know. He said to ask Roy Clark.
He was being modest.
Who was the interviewer?
who better DOES NOT MATTER. just sit back and dig
em both...
Stevie Ray! Answer to your question.
I agree with what you said .
Why compare them. Just enjoy. Hendrix would have wanted that.
I love SRV. BUT. Hendrix is #1. Nuf said.
My parent's is the 80's, I bring that question up, who is better. My Pop aurgered both died at a young age being the legends? I can say, they won't be replace soon?
Stevie, no question…
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……………
Thankyou....4530. For all of these people who think otherwise,
keep reading his comment over and over again until those foolish
thoughts of comparing Jimi to SRV leave your silly minds.
They are totally two different guitarists. We are talking apples and oranges here. Just because Stevie Ray Vaughan covered two songs of Jimi Hendrix they compare the two as though they were the same guy
Stevie Ray Vaughan is the G.O.A.T 👍👏🔥🎸❤️🇺🇲💯 !!!
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! 😉
Steve is a really good guitar 🎸 but Jimmy elevated the game before Steve.. Jimmy Hendrix is the goat
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. .... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
bro jimi died in 1970, well before SRV came to fame
No he did not!
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......
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!
Its a slap In the face to Hendrix, to be compared to all these ramdom people.
I think SRV was better but hendrix was definitely ahead of his time but SRV was on a mission and almost lost his life doing it before he did lose his life.
Stevie tries to play like Hendrix dress like Hendrix, mimics Hendrix, Stevie was good, no question about it BUT he was no Jimi Hendrix ✌🏽
hendrix got his fashion between Johnnie jenkins n Eddie Kirkwood
SRV was basically a Blues guitarist who in my opinion owes a major debt to Albert King, more so than to Jimi. His covers of Jimi’s music do not, repeat do not put him on Jimi’s level. He was not an innovator nor did he bring anything new to guitar sounds or technique. His biggest accomplishment imo was being at the right place and time to bring the Blues back to the mainstream.
"Machine Gun.". " Driving South" "Hey Joe" live from Monterey1967, 'Hear My Train A Comin" /"Johnny B Goode "Berkeley 1970 ; " Red House"- San Diego Sports Arena; Electric Ladyland; Axis Bold As Love; Band Of Gypsies..ect..sorry kids its not even close.
Jimi.
SRV!
When you are on the level of Stevie. Hendrix and Django. Comparing them against each other is unworthy they were above that bullshit
Oh please - what a STUPID question
you're forgetting Jimmi 's favourite. Rory Gallagher. but I'm still a Jimmy bloke
I will not choose. I like them both. I also like Roy Buchanan and Eric Clapton. There is no argument.
The original, that's who.
WHO PUT THIS CRAP OUT?
😂😂😂😂😂
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
Whew these people have thrown everything at Hendrix " what next ?
Stupid question!!!!! JH
Theking jimi
WHAT ABOUT RANDY HANSEN . THAT`S THE NEXT TO HENDRIX HEAVY WEIGHT AXX PLAYER YOU MIGHT SEE HE IS THE CLOSEST TO HENDRIX.HANDS DOWN CHECK HIM OUT THEN YOU WILL SEE .LET ME KNOw ASAP.
Stupid question Hendrix nobody close
Jimi created and painted the Mona Lisa. SRV copied it so there you have the obvious answer.; Jimi is unparalled. BTW This reminds me of the Jordan vs Lebron G.O.A.T. debate Jimi and Jordan are the GOATs of there respective disciplines. Now a better discussion would be SRV vs Gary Moore and I'd say Gary Moore was more talented and played better.
SRV
SRV wins on all accounts but the drug use. He got clean.
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.
Albert King said SRV was better. That’s all I need to hear
jimis tricks and stunts sounds stage presents were better
They're both better.
