I was lucky enough to meet S.R.V. twice, he wasn't very tall but had enormous hand's for his hight! I was almost 6'7" and his hand's 👋 were as big as mine!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin August 26th 1990. The next morning when I heard the horrible news was one of the saddest days of my life. The lineup was SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. RIP SRV!🎸🎶🎵
Makes more tragic is he recovered from alcoholic and drug addiction, his life was turned around and he was clean ,Than he was killed on August 26th 1990.
I'm so happy to see young people discovering the genius of Stevie Ray Vaughan (Pronounced vawn like dawn). If you'd like this you must see him perform Texas flood at El mocambo. That 59 Stratocaster he's playing right there is worth over $600,000. His voice is quite underrated too so please react to his beautiful song he wrote for his friend called "Life without you" in honor of his guitar repair man who built the white guitar he plays when he sings it to Charlie and kisses it as the song ends.
@@juicicles5881 Stevie thought I’d was a ‘59 because the pickups had ‘59 written on them. Body and Neck are a 1963 Stratocaster, this is #1. The Hamiltone (not harmony) guitar you’re talking about is named “Main” but wasn’t actually his main guitar, #1 was the guitar is also known as 1st Wife.
@@joshuajkoplin in nz(auckland) one night after his concert (which had just been too , might been 83 think )he went to a club called Mainstreet , at top of main st auck city , was a blues concert night , we went there too after concert , he turned up and played a few songs (think some used be on u tube or net ) he liked nz , married a kiwi girl , stayed here for ages , friends ekth musicians here .. but .. he borrowed somebodys red epitone that night , and man amazing , got see him 2 times in one night .... not his guitar but you wouldnt of known ...
@@outoftheirskulls5676 I wasn't aware but I can kinda see that would be logical. Especially when they are both playing on the same guitar Thanks. That's friggin nuts.
I dunno how much you've seen, but there are quite a few of his performances up on youtube. The quality may suck because we were on OLD TV technology back then. But, he's still amazing. I remember seeing him for the first few times as a kid back then, he never got less amazing than he was the very first time I saw him. I remember Clapton, Albert King, and some other greats just being a little slack-jawed when SRV hit the gas. His level of mastery is only more astonishing when you remember, he didn't read music. He just heard stuff different, and his hand strength was off the charts.
@@littlejimmy7402 best 2 guitarisrs ive seen ,,, srv 3 times , totally mind bown , first time 83 ,,, then Roy Buchanan in 87 just before he died .. then srv ... both such losses .. mind shattering both of them , leave you in a trance for days ..
The only player to do Jimi's music justice. He took all the best players stuff and made his own amazing stuff from it. Saw him 4 times in concert. Same outrageous passion everytime!!!!!GOAT!!!!!!
Love your enthusiasm, Millie. This is a cover of a Jimi Hendrix song, made famous earlier at Woodstock 1969. SRV befriended Jimi's family and, if other posters have the straight story, used his wah-wah pedal on this performance! I love the impurities in the live performance, the squeals, the feedback -- makes the performance UNIQUE., RAW, GRITTY, THICK with character. One of the Top 10 3-member combos in modern music history.
Clapton said it best. SRV never seemed to have to think about what he was going to play next, it just flowed out. Even his sound checks were legendary and double trouble are rock solid If you want to see a more contemporary guitarist, Kingfish Ingram and Eric Gales are ridiculously good, as is Samantha Fish.
The wah wah pedal he was using once belonged to Jimi Hendrix. SRV was a big Hendrix fan and did this cover and a cover of another Hendrix song LITTLE WING.
not sure "cover" really does it justice. It's very rare that someone can come along and do a cover, and not merely match it, or exceed it, but essentially "make it their own". And SRV does this with no less than...Jimi Hendrix. Joe Cocker "With a Little Help from my Friends", and Johnny Cash "Hurt" are really the only two other examples I can think of at the moment.
SRV and Double Trouble was amazing. Three man bands is rare because everyone has to be great performers. SRV was a guitar master at it's finest. He really was one of the only guitarist that could do Jimmie Hendrix. SRV also did Little Wing, something to definitely check out.
Millie, You my dear. You have selected a rock guitar master... Stevie is unreal good with this cover of a Jimi song.... ROCK Some folks have gone as far as to say Stevie was better than Jimi. Strong words. Most say Jimi was the best rock guitarist ever..... All I know is Stevie could play the heck out of that guitar!!! This Texas boy was great and he died much too young. There is a video out there in which he plays behind his back. He can do that better than most can play the normal way.... Thank GOD we have these videos and music CD's.......!!!!!!!!! Did you like it???? Or did you love it????
By the time he was 21, ha had played for 2 Austin circuit bands, started his own band, played in Bowie's monster album, Let's Dance, turned Bowie down to join his band, did Austin City Limits, and put out the seminal album, Texas Flood, and was the greatest blues singer all time, greatest blues guitarist ever, and a top 20 all time guitarist....all by 21!!!
Swampy, groovy and funky .. oh man .. this swings so much it's almost out of control. He had a way of combining lead with rhythm guitar that was unlike any other guitarist. He made a sort of composite alloy of both that was irresistible. Even his solo in this song here is as much about supporting the groove .. it slithers like a bar of soap in a wet bathtub. Watching him bop around on stage here and wrestle and shake his guitar .. forcing it to moan in agony and fall into that inevitable funky swirling hypnotic repetition. I only saw him once .. and people were were watching him in trance .. it was in fact sensual esthetic overload. I am grateful. I know what you are saying and trying to convey Millie .. Great reaction. Love it! Cheers 🍺
Changing volume, tone, wah, flipping to bridge pickup and back all during his lightning . Really epic. You usually don't see that much change during a song. Epic
I'm always amazed by that, and how quick his hands did it. Cap it with him dropping his pick, twice, and recovering without missing a beat. Or so it seemed, anyway.
Got to see him twice. The last time was weeks before the awful accident that took him from us. The show was at a fairgrounds. I was the ONLY person standing, right up in front of the stage. Most all the show I stood in front of the deafening tower of speakers but for the final song, Voodoo Chile I was RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, for those 10 or so minutes I was in Stevie's world. Everyone likes to talk about the GOAT. I don't generally, but daum hard to argue when it comes to SRV As far as Voodoo Chile, I mean for me, at the top of the heap with the best guitar tunes ever for sure
if you want to appreciate what a total pro he was, check out any video where he brakes a string. seamlessly carries on until he can quickly switch guitars mid-song. Amazing
I’m a 54 year old guy from Texas. I got to see SRV with Double Trouble on several occasions in the clubs in the 80’s. Back then in Texas there was a tour circuit for Texas bands. We saw them all more than once ( ZZ TOP, Fabulous Thunderbirds, SRV with Double Trouble, Joe King Carrasco, Kings X , even Pantera). The only other guitar hero’s that were in SRV’s class were Eddie Van Halen, Prince, Jimmi Hendrix. That’s it! That group of four will be untouchable for a century.
This guitar should be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame Smithsonian edition. This and the Stratocaster Jimmy Hendrix played at Woodstock are national treasures. They are icons of American music
"Wow this is..." As a multi-instrument musician whos second true love (and longest played instrument) is guitar with around 20 years of experience, this is the most accurate statement any reaction channel has ever made about this performance in my opinion. Its crispy clean. It makes me cry every time. Ill never play like that no matter how often i practice. My fingers just dont do that, they just imitate it (poorly)
Thing is, SRV played very heavy gauge strings. And his strings were twice the distance from the frets. Satrioni, Vai, Van halen all played lower Gauge strings. Distance from the fret was 75% closer than SRV. Though all of the above guitar players are f ing amazing!!
Great reaction. As others have recommended you should really check out his performance of "Texas Flood" at El Mocambo. If you thought this performance was amazing, you will truly be blown away by "Texas Flood."
This is Terry VonCannon. Great reaction but PLEASE listen and react to Stevie Ray Texas Flood live at El Mocambo. He pushes the guitar to it's ultimate limits!
Hi there! Its so fun to see young musicians discovering some the amazing artists which came before them-thank you! That being said, now you should listen to the legendary Rory Gallagher and his genuinely beat to death '61 Strat. Take a listen to the stunning "Tattoo'd Lady" performance at the 1979 Rockpalast. Another guitarist taken from us too soon, Rory played from the heart and gave 110% at every appearance. He refused to compromise his musical vision in order to achieve popular success, but most guitarists know Rory and his amazing skills with just his amp, guitar and a treble booster. If you haven't heard him before, you're in for a treat!
Hi. If u want to hear 2 masterpieces (although he has many) listen to TIN PAN ALLEY live with Stevie and Johnny Copeland. This song takes you to another world. An amazing instrumental with Stevie and pianist is RIVIERA PARADISE. They are slower songs but you will be taken away in a way that you don't expect. FYI. since you are too young. Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest guitar player of all time. He can make you laugh, dance, cry and feel so many things you didn't know you could feel from a guitar player. Jeff Beck is up there as Jimmy Hendrix but Stevie pours his soul out of his body thru the guitar like nobody else
The list of influencers and inspirations that was listed was missing 2 names. The first is Duane Allman. Stevie was a huge fan of Duane and his style of playing the guitar. The second was the biggest influence of, not only Stevie musically, but in his life, his older brother Jimmie Vaughan. Jimmie was the reason Stevie picked up a guitar in the first place. He wanted to be like his big brother Jimmie, who is a master guitarist in his own right. Jimmie was playing in a band when Stevie first started to show signs that he was interested in learning how to play... Every SRV fan owns Jimmie a debt of gratitude for peaking Stevie's interest in playing guitar...
I am fortunate to see him live in 1988 in Hawaii and have pics as it was a daytime show in Aloha Stadium. Little did I know as a young airman that this show would be my only one. RIP Stevie.
Your reaction was pretty normal when folks see SRV. The pedal is called Wah-Wah. His main effects were an Ibanez tube screamer and his Vox wah-wah pedal. So with that combo and his awesome vibrato that helped him shape his sound. Also not mentioned his first guitar inspiration was his brother Jimmie. BTW, your just adorable if you don't mind me saying.
Some suggested guitar gods for you Millie. Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Frank Zappa, Terry Kath, Steve Howe, Stanley Jordan, Duane Allman, Robby Krieger, Brian May, Annie Clark, Buddy Guy, Neil Young, Robert Fripp, John Scofield, Jimi Hendrix. And their associated bands. Love your channel Millie. Love what you are doing.. Thank you xoxo
Also check out " Robin Trower live | Rockpalast | 2005 " amazing Robin Trower - guitar, backing vocals Davey Pattison - vocals Dave Bronze - bass, backing vocals Pete Thompson - drums
Stevie and his brother Jimmy were from Oak Cliff, just south of my hometown of Dallas... Stevie was a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix and did a Hendrix cover on every album, including this one "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" from "Couldn't Stand the Weather"... Tommy Shannon, Stevie's bass player also played with Johnny Winter in the '70s.
As far as guitar heroes go, I like all the ones you mention, but my favorite is Robert Fripp, of the band King Crimson. He’s one whose influences are more classical than blues. For a slower, melodic piece, where his playing has almost a violin tone, try King Crimson “Starless” live in Takamatsu, Japan 2015… for a song where he does more aggressive shredding, try King Crimson “FraKctured”, live in Bonn, Germany 2000.
I will definitely recommend you reacting to Gary Moore's cover of Red House, live from the Fender 50th Anniversary concert. Standing ovation from the arena. Gary is a guitar Icon.
Stevie didn't play guitar, he was actually possessed by it and the guitar played him. Texas Flood at El Mocambo and Life Without You at the Capitol Theater will convince you of this, oh and Little Wing at El Mocambo
It must be noted that while Vai & Satriani used really light gauged strings (.08 & .09's), SRV used heavier .13's to achieve a thicker, richer sound with much less electronic effects piled-on to make it sound full. Heavier strings are harder to play, but are well worth the effort. I play .12's on a Strat, with all five springs on the floating bridge, slammed down as hard as I can get it, and I only play through all-tube amplifiers.
Its so cool seeing young people getting turned to SRV and keeping his music alive. One of the benefits of being a bit older is I'm so grateful to have seen him live every time he came to my town. RIP Stevie.
SRV is the greatest hands down . When Stevie played it was for the love of music ,he gave you everything and poured his soul out for the world to experience. Id like to suggest life without you capitol theater NJ 1985 and play close attention to the guitar swap !
Hi Millie, Vaughan = " Vonn ". My they both rest in peace but what Steve Ray Vaughan hasn't mentioned is he is performing a near perfect cover of Jimi Hendrix and his music. " Rock on. "
Vaughn: Von You really should do a reaction to Stevie Ray Vaughan live at El mocambo doing Texas flood one of the best guitar solos you will ever see 🎸🐐🎶🎤🙏R.I.P. S.R.V.🙏
I think he was an extension of Jimi Hendrix. "If I don't see you in this life I'll see you in the next end don't be late!" And sadly he wasn't. Because he took a plane to try to catch up with Him. But he was not late forever Young!
What do Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Brian Setzer from the Stray Cats and John Petrucci of Dream Theater all have in common? They are all amazing guitarists from Long Island. If you want to include Queens as part of Long Island, which it is geographically, and replace the word "amazing" with famous, then you can add Ace Freely from Kiss and Joey Ramone.
You should know that behind me, hanging on my wall, is a huge Jimi Hendrix tapestry that my sister gave me for Christmas. Probably before you were born. It's not a stretch to call this one of the songs that define my life. Also, fun fact...in an interview just before his tragic departure, SRV said that what he really wanted was "A room full of amplifiers with just one knob labeled 'More'." I have been building that room, and it is good.
This is from the best Austin City Limits of all time. Was lucky enough to see him in a small concert hall and I had second row seats. I have seen many great guitarist since 1969 but he was the best and what a great singer too.
Millie my dear! You lady have selected a masterpiece of a video. Stevie Ray was magic with his scratched up guitar. So press play and enjoy!!!!! This white boy from Texas was one hell of a guitar player!!!! He was super GOOD!!!!!!!! His last name sounds like Von. O.K. Let's review here! Have you reviewed Jimi Hendrix;s version of this tune????? You have the air - drums going pretty girl...... You my dear you are in shock!!!!! That is normal with this wonderful music!!!!!!
SRV was the GOAT! I was blessed to be able to see him in 1989, at that time I was just a passing fan but after the concert I was a full blown SRV convert. He blew my mind! For me if there was a mount Rushmore of guitarists, he would definitely be one of the four. I will let everyone have their own opinion about the other 3 that should be on the mountain.
The origin genius behind this was Jimi Hendrix, check him out he was the absolute legend who influenced bues an rock until today. He played lefthanded all that stuff even before even imagined this was possible.
Vai and Satriani are virtuosos. An artist that fuses that virtuosity with that soul of Stevie Ray Vaughan (rhymes with lawn) is Eric Johnson. Give Eric Johnson a listen to. White Ciffs of Dover is his trademark song, but any of his Hendrix covers will give goosebumps.
I have played for over 40 years and I can say “in my opinion” that SRV is the best lead guitarist in history. I know that will trigger a lot of people but that’s an educated assessment form decades of experience.

not sure "cover" really does it justice. It's very rare that someone can come along and do a cover, and not merely match it, or exceed it, but essentially "make it their own". And SRV does this with no less than...Jimi Hendrix. Joe Cocker "With a Little Help from my Friends", and Johnny Cash "Hurt" are really the only two other examples I can think of at the moment.
Guitar God, legend and myth. Nobody had the guitar be a part of his physical body and form the way Stevie lived through his playing. #FightMeOnThis
Stevie Ray was a Blues guitar musician primarily. I live in Austin and saw him play several times. AWESOME guitarist .
Yes he was an American musician
But I am proud to say he was a Texan First. R.i.p. just like Jimi Hendrix. Ect.
SRV and Double Trouble was amazing. Three man bands is rare because everyone has to be great performers. SRV was a guitar master at it's finest. He really was one of the only guitarist that could do Jimmie Hendrix. SRV also did Little Wing, something to definitely check out.

The list of influencers and inspirations that was listed was missing 2 names. The first is Duane Allman. Stevie was a huge fan of Duane and his style of playing the guitar. The second was the biggest influence of, not only Stevie musically, but in his life, his older brother Jimmie Vaughan. Jimmie was the reason Stevie picked up a guitar in the first place. He wanted to be like his big brother Jimmie, who is a master guitarist in his own right. Jimmie was playing in a band when Stevie first started to show signs that he was interested in learning how to play... Every SRV fan owns Jimmie a debt of gratitude for peaking Stevie's interest in playing guitar...
Can't forget his godfather..the late great Albert King
@@quentinmichel7581 She mentioned him at 4:33 in the video. His name is the second name on the list right after Jimi's
@@DSWilkes Don't know how I missed that...thnx.
I am fortunate to see him live in 1988 in Hawaii and have pics as it was a daytime show in Aloha Stadium. Little did I know as a young airman that this show would be my only one. RIP Stevie.
Your reaction was pretty normal when folks see SRV. The pedal is called Wah-Wah. His main effects were an Ibanez tube screamer and his Vox wah-wah pedal. So with that combo and his awesome vibrato that helped him shape his sound. Also not mentioned his first guitar inspiration was his brother Jimmie. BTW, your just adorable if you don't mind me saying.
Hardly-ever-mentioned guitar hero you should listen to is Robin Trower.
Song was written and originally performed by Jimi Hendrix.. SRV does a great cover but it's a cover
Some suggested guitar gods for you Millie. Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Frank Zappa, Terry Kath, Steve Howe, Stanley Jordan, Duane Allman, Robby Krieger, Brian May, Annie Clark, Buddy Guy, Neil Young, Robert Fripp, John Scofield, Jimi Hendrix.

Stevie and his brother Jimmy were from Oak Cliff, just south of my hometown of Dallas... Stevie was a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix and did a Hendrix cover on every album, including this one "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" from "Couldn't Stand the Weather"... Tommy Shannon, Stevie's bass player also played with Johnny Winter in the '70s.
He should remind you of Jimi Hendrix. He created it. SRV does a fantastic cover. He covers a few Hendrix classics.
He ask Jimi's family for permission the cover Jimi's music , granted .
As far as guitar heroes go, I like all the ones you mention, but my favorite is Robert Fripp, of the band King Crimson. He’s one whose influences are more classical than blues. For a slower, melodic piece, where his playing has almost a violin tone, try King Crimson “Starless” live in Takamatsu, Japan 2015… for a song where he does more aggressive shredding, try King Crimson “FraKctured”, live in Bonn, Germany 2000.
your music at either end of the video is pretty good! i wish you good luck!!
I think if I could play like just one guitarist in the world then it would be SRV. One of the greatest greats. Ever. 😍😎🎼❤
That version of SRV doing Voodoo Child is the single greatest guitar work I've ever seen in my life.
I will definitely recommend you reacting to Gary Moore's cover of Red House, live from the Fender 50th Anniversary concert. Standing ovation from the arena. Gary is a guitar Icon.
Stevie didn't play guitar, he was actually possessed by it and the guitar played him. Texas Flood at El Mocambo and Life Without You at the Capitol Theater will convince you of this, oh and Little Wing at El Mocambo
Milliie Mochi, you can take this music and make it inspirational. You are making amazing music.
Even his walk offs are too cool for school! There will only be one SRV! RIP! 😎
I'm loving how Elaine's thumb dance makes a glorious appearance here too.
It must be noted that while Vai & Satriani used really light gauged strings (.08 & .09's), SRV used heavier .13's to achieve a thicker, richer sound with much less electronic effects piled-on to make it sound full. Heavier strings are harder to play, but are well worth the effort. I play .12's on a Strat, with all five springs on the floating bridge, slammed down as hard as I can get it, and I only play through all-tube amplifiers.
I liked the video where he played his guitar behind his back as good if not better than most.💚🎸
Its so cool seeing young people getting turned to SRV and keeping his music alive. One of the benefits of being a bit older is I'm so grateful to have seen him live every time he came to my town. RIP Stevie.
SRV is the greatest hands down . When Stevie played it was for the love of music ,he gave you everything and poured his soul out for the world to experience. Id like to suggest life without you capitol theater NJ 1985 and play close attention to the guitar swap !
You have the same look that every guitar person gets the first time they see Stevie Ray. "Holy shit" mixed with joy is always so fun and refreshing.
Hi Millie, Vaughan = " Vonn ". My they both rest in peace but what Steve Ray Vaughan hasn't mentioned is he is performing a near perfect cover of Jimi Hendrix and his music. " Rock on. "
if you can take your attention off Stevie,s jawdroppin playing just listen to how mindblowing the Drummer is
Vaughn: Von
You really should do a reaction to Stevie Ray Vaughan live at El mocambo doing Texas flood one of the best guitar solos you will ever see 🎸🐐🎶🎤🙏R.I.P. S.R.V.🙏
nobody could, or can make a guitar scream for dear life like the late Mr Vaughn. Rest in peace, you magnificent bastard!
I think he was an extension of Jimi Hendrix. "If I don't see you in this life I'll see you in the next end don't be late!" And sadly he wasn't. Because he took a plane to try to catch up with Him. But he was not late forever Young!
And his concerts were like this for two hours, every time.
The biography bits are a cool touch
What do Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Brian Setzer from the Stray Cats and John Petrucci of Dream Theater all have in common? They are all amazing guitarists from Long Island. If you want to include Queens as part of Long Island, which it is geographically, and replace the word "amazing" with famous, then you can add Ace Freely from Kiss and Joey Ramone.
I remember seeing this one on the "Austin City Limits" PBS live show, I was blown away and I still am.
Probably wouldn't hurt to acknowledge Jimi Hendrix in the context of the origin of this and his passion for Jimi.
Watch Stevie Ray Vaughan Life Without you live at the Capital Theater
What a happiness for me to see young generation enjoy this music...
This was the 80’s and 90’s some of us lived in it to enjoy it and others just get the drippings of yesterdays
I saw SRV at Alpine valley, on the way home to Mpls, we heard the news of the crash..damn.but his music will live on.
You should know that behind me, hanging on my wall, is a huge Jimi Hendrix tapestry that my sister gave me for Christmas. Probably before you were born. It's not a stretch to call this one of the songs that define my life.
Also, fun fact...in an interview just before his tragic departure, SRV said that what he really wanted was "A room full of amplifiers with just one knob labeled 'More'." I have been building that room, and it is good.
Tommy Shannon is a badass bassist. SRV=GOAT.
This is from the best Austin City Limits of all time. Was lucky enough to see him in a small concert hall and I had second row seats. I have seen many great guitarist since 1969 but he was the best and what a great singer too.
Cool reaction...SRV played 13 gauge strings!...amazing
His last name is obviously Vaughan (pronounced 'Von'). He was from Texas, USA. He died when he was 35 years old in 1990.
Take the technical precision of Roy Clark and blend in the innovation and soul of Jimi Hendrix and you find SRV
Forget Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan is the cat's ass.
Millie my dear! You lady have selected a masterpiece of a video. Stevie Ray was magic with his scratched up guitar. So press play and enjoy!!!!! This white boy from Texas was one hell of a guitar player!!!! He was super GOOD!!!!!!!! His last name sounds like Von. O.K. Let's review here! Have you reviewed Jimi Hendrix;s version of this tune????? You have the air - drums going pretty girl...... You my dear you are in shock!!!!! That is normal with this wonderful music!!!!!!
And yes...he did occasionally break strings during concerts.
SRV was the GOAT! I was blessed to be able to see him in 1989, at that time I was just a passing fan but after the concert I was a full blown SRV convert. He blew my mind! For me if there was a mount Rushmore of guitarists, he would definitely be one of the four. I will let everyone have their own opinion about the other 3 that should be on the mountain.
Stevie Ray Vaughan with Johnny Copeland "Tin Pan Alley"! You will love it if you like the Blues.
Saw Stevie do this in Seattle 87.. ladies and gentleman Jimi Hendrix has left the building!
The origin genius behind this was Jimi Hendrix, check him out he was the absolute legend who influenced bues an rock until today. He played lefthanded all that stuff even before even imagined this was possible.
SRV was on a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL!!! 🔥
Top three guitarists of all time, tied for first place and in alphabetical order;
-Charlie Byrd
-David Gilmore
-Stevie Ray Vaughan
My Dear, He’s the GOAT! PERIOD! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here we go! This will be fun to watch!
Vai and Satriani are virtuosos. An artist that fuses that virtuosity with that soul of Stevie Ray Vaughan (rhymes with lawn) is Eric Johnson. Give Eric Johnson a listen to. White Ciffs of Dover is his trademark song, but any of his Hendrix covers will give goosebumps.
I have played for over 40 years and I can say “in my opinion” that SRV is the best lead guitarist in history. I know that will trigger a lot of people but that’s an educated assessment form decades of experience.
And yes that includes Jimmy Hendrix.
