I always thought Jimi was the best I ever heard until I discovered Stevie. I do think he built on what Jimi began, and eventually surpassed him, but you have to consider what Jimi might have done had he lived; but then again, you can say the same about Stevie. They're both great guitarists. The only thing I know for sure is that I prefer Stevie's versions of Voodoo Chile and Little Wing over Jimi's. Maybe because they're so much longer there's more to enjoy. Also, I think Stevie's voice had more depth and soul to it. I love rock, but I wish Jimi had done more blues 'cause he was great at it whenever he did it and that's the genre I love the most. Two legends and you can't go wrong with either one. But maybe I prefer Stevie 'cause my name is so similar to his. Just wish I could play like him too!
B. B. King : "I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed." SRV saved the blues from dying out in the 80's.
I think he introduced Blues to a lot of people that wouldn't have heard it otherwise. They then went and found the roots of the genre and discovered the greatness of those that founded it. If someone doesn't love Blues, they don't love music!
@@rontiemens2553 thank you for giving me the insight that his vocals remind you the power of the vocals that go on inside of a chirch I was raised in a secular non religious household so i never knew of the power of the vocals which ,as you say , were , standard for a church experience,,,,,, and am 63 so there was no TH-cam for me to be exposed to a Preacher's style,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and the funny thing ,,, sad thing,, is when I tried to sing this song when I first heard it like back in 1983,, I was so far from being able to , it was not even funny,,,,,,, I loved how you appreciate SVR thank you
I agree. Stevie was a rare gem that gave everything to develop his craft. I stood in front of him with no barrier in ‘82 w 20,000 fans and he was the real deal. Tons of really good guitarists out there but then there are those rare individuals that have “it.”
That very sweaty man was Albert Collins “The Master of the Telecaster.” A great bluesman in his own right. He was know for having a very long cord and walking out of the front door of the club and playing in the street.
I was at an Albert Collins show in St.Louis back in the early '90's and he did that where he walked through the crowd. He walked right up to me and played a few bars standing right in front of me. I went to shake his hand but he said, "I'm a little busy right now" and walked off. It was awesome!
Bill Thompkins I have to spend some time with Rory. I don’t know his music at all and more than a few people have recommended him. Thanks for the reminder.
And the blacks loved stevie 👍becuse stevie was real i herd albert call stevie the most talented guitarist ever and here is the kicker albert king hung out with jimmie hendrix in the 70's R.I.P king stevie !!!
Fact of the matter is that white boys rule on the guitar. Just the way it is. Sure there are great black guitarists, but there are far more white boys like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Ritchie Blackmore, Ted Nugent, Leslie West, Billie Gibbons, etc. I could go on and on.
@@alienlife7754 I love those guys, but there's Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, Freddy King, Albert Collins, Luther Allison, Melvin Taylor, and Kingfish out there to be experienced.
I have a long list of favorite guitarists but Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan are at the top of the list. RIP Jimi and RIP Stevie. They both could play behind their backs and with their teeth. He broke a string and didn’t miss a beat. Thank God we had them for a little while. Great reaction!
SRV is DEFINATELY a rabbit hole you want to RUN down! The music just flowed through him, as B.B. King once said. He was so extraordinary, whatever song, or performance you pick, it will blow you away!
Stevie was a beast! He regularly broke strings while playing,the funny thing is,he played .13s,heavy strings that will cut your fingers when you try to bend the way he did,but yet,he still popped them. BEAST!!!!
I started out play 11-12 gauges so i really want to try to play .13. Imagine how fast his fingers would have been playing 10-11 guages people dont think about this. Like nobody is as fast on acoustic as they are electric if you catch my drift stevies gauges were like playing heavy guages on Acoustic your playing gets slowed down but not stevie he can make the bends do what every sound he wanted incredible there were so many things he did in short time i still think hes underrated and we havent even seen him at his best off of videos im sure he knew how to play 100's of blues songs that we never got to hear him play but his brother did and other blues legends heard him play backstage.
Probably Stevie's best performance on vinyl. Love the emotion he puts into this tune and he ain't fakin' it. He channels something from another dimension when he plays this tune.
I love seeing a new generation finding Stevie’s music. I do wish though that musicians these days would strive for greatness more often. You just do not see Stevie’s level of talent and skill around much anymore. He was the perfect student when it came to music. A much missed breath taking talent!
To see your emotions at about 8:45 in the video truly speaks that his music transcends all boundaries of humanity. To be able to understand that this is an extension of his soul, there is only one and likely never will there be a talent that measures to this. I appreciate your raw emotion in this aspect and realize that his music will never fade away.
SRV was unique, so talented, gifted and skilled. a great loss. thank you for your genuine and passionate reaction. stay safe and well. greetings from germany.
Even with heavy gauge strings, the mere force of his mitts ripped right through them. No one more skilled or passionate on the ax than Stevie. He's an alien.
The great performers back in the day were really working on stage so they were always sweaty! Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard....the list goes on and on. It’s great to see young people watching and reacting to great music us old timers listened to. Your a breath of fresh air! Keep it up😉
And that ladies and gentlemen was just a small portion of the talent that Stevie Ray Vaughan had. It's been said by many,many people a and it's truth ... "The Greatest Guitarists that ever walked the earth. " Rest in Peace Stevie Ray Vaughan, we miss you and you'll never be forgotten.
That sweaty man was Albert Collins, The Iceman, master of the telecaster! Great song he does..."I ain't drunk, I'm just drinkin'" lol Lived in Memphis 6 yrs in the 80s and saw tons of those old dudes...I was in heaven Saw stevie at the Orpheum in 86?, I think . Broke 6 strings
Omg this brought me to tears. Your appreciation of this wonderful man brought tears to my eyes. Any STEVIE RAY will do. All his music will move you because he touches your soul. He was sober when he died and that made the song Life By The Drop especially poignant. It was off Family Style which he recorded with his brother and others. You will not regret your decision to dig deeper.
Yeah, and that's not all: the strings he played (until he sobered up, later in his career/life) were thicker than just about anybody else's. And he still broke them.
@@s1d299, he played 13 gauge in Eb tuning, which isn't as bad as it seems. I play 14s in E standard, which took a bit getting used to. It's actually easier to break thicker strings, since they require more tension to reach a given tuning; thinner strings have far less tension on them for a given tuning and are actually harder to break.
@@johndeeregreen4592 Hey man, I've watched a lot of guitar videos, so I know what I'm talking about. Seriously though, thanks for the education. I'm always happy to learn something.
@@s1d299 Check out Dick Dale. 18 gauge strung upside down. Two are even wound the opposite of norm. In an interview he talked about his strings turning blue then black before heat would snap them. The man used to grind his picks up like he was putting them on a belt sander. 3 to 5 picks a song were the norm.
There is a less played song by Stevie, called "Leave my little girl alone", that is worth a listen. Stevie shows a side in the song (through his guitar playing) that you wouldn't want to mess with. Sometimes those less listened to songs are surprising. Loved your reaction. You really show your feelings and that's great. Cheers from Canada
Stevie Ray Vaughan, when I first heard him I thought Jimi Hendrix was reincarnated, but most experts think he took it further, and he might have, but Jimi is still his father. I call Jimi the best because he had know father, he played liked nobody ever heard before. If you say Stevie Ray Vaughan is the best I personally can't argue this. It's like Tomatoes or Tomotoes which do you prefer. Stevie on the other hand would never say he was better then his idol, he was very humble, and showed a lot of respect. His favorite was Albert King though.
Apples and Oranges, baby..Apples and Oranges..Jimi was an bonafide original..He was dropped down from the heavens upon this earth, and fucked everybody up!..People had to go back to the drawing board when he hit the scene...Guitarist had to rethink their decision about picking the wrong line of work!...Even Eric Clapton had some self doubt...I know...He was of my era....SRV, on the other hand was born to play the guitar..It was preordained, and I'm not taking anything away from him...He was amazing! (Lenny, at el mocambo) is my favorite of his, because he wrote it for his beloved wife, and is played with such emotion!...But he didn't create anything new, except that he could play the shit out of that instrument.....Jimi was something out of a Sci-Fi movie, baby...Smacked the shit out of us!!...We didn't know what the fuck hit us..Trust me..By SRV's time there was no surprises..We already KNEW, (because of Jimi, and a few others) by then, everything, and anything was possible. And I'm NOT just talking about playing the guitar. I'm talking about eviserating and laying his soul out before the gods!
The Sage No doubt Stevie could outplay Jimi, but remember Jimi introduced an entirely new sound and style of music that was simply not from this earth. He was more than just the blues. SRV was about as good as you can get on guitar for blues playing...but he was essentially mainly a blues guy. I see two legends at their craft. Equals.
@@funkster007 I'll give you that. Then you got guys like tony iommi...guitarist for black sabbath...that actually invented the bar chord, and heavy metal
Loved the look on your face when he flipped the guitar around and played it behind his back. SRV is a blues god R.I.P. Stevie we miss your music. the blues are where it all started for the beginnings of Rock and Roll, hip hop , Rap etc.... Try Voodoo Child or Little Wing there are many more but that's a good start. If you want to hear where it started try some Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, or Blind Lemon Jefferson. they really were the OG's. Love your channel keep on listening
Woooooooooooooo is indeed the correct reaction and I'm glad to hear someone say it! And i gotta say I like the fact that you gotta move while listening! So many people just sit there and make faces. If you're feelin it you move!
Do his soundcheck... He walks in hungover, eyes looking like two piss holes in the snow, picks his nose and rocks an empty stadium like someone paid him a million dollars for a concert. The man played that guitar like it owed him money. Behind the back is nothing check out him and his brother play two guitars at the same time.
Lmao,one day when I was wild as hell in my 20s,I came in to work one hungover as hell,and my dad owned the company,and he looked at me and said "your eyes look like two pissed holes in the snow." He's been gone for 30 years. You're the only other person I've heard say that.
Girl, you don't understand how much I miss that man. I'll never forget that day in 1990. I was driving in Minneapolis and beard that he had died in a helicopter crash leaving a concert in Wisconsin. I started crying so hard I had to pull over on the shoulder. I knew then that the world would be a worse place without him.
Eventually, watching him, you just cry....you just literally cry watching him....saw him twice back in the early 80's. Once with Buddy Guy...at the old Antones. RIP Clifford Antone and SRV. I talked to Clifford years later about that night at the new Antones. Wonderful people. Nicest people you could ever meet.
Oh hell yes, my Man from Texas. The best guitarist ever! I miss him every.single.day! Any time you see SRV give up Lenny it’s because he broke the 12 gauge strings. Man in gold jacket is big brother Jimmy.
If you go back to the beginning of rock & roll , you'll see that the blues genre is the basic music , that started it. IE Led Zeppelin 2 album for instance. The name Pink Floyd is from two blues players. Pink Anderson & Floyd Council. Rolling Stones & other bands either have blues roots / songs.
he switched guitars cause the one he was playing first broke a string. I've played guitar for 14 years and never broken a string when playing thats how you know that man just shreds.
Yes lyle i read his guitar in a magazine say he saw SRV snap the neck on one of his strats 😵!!! Now thats aggressive playing , ever look at Stevie's hands ? Beefy, and big veins !!
Thank you for "getting" SRV and giving him the respect you did. One of my neighbors and friends in Austin, TX was his guitar tech and road managers.... SRV was the bomb!
Welcome my young friend...To the SRV experience.....If you ever get the chance, listen to everything he has ever touched....pure gold sister...pure gold.....
Jimi played the guitar behind his back and behind his head and between his legs and could play right and left handed with the strings strung either way. Stevie Ray said Jimi was the greatest. Not disrespecting SRV cause was amazing and it's hard for me to say which was better. Stevie was a cleaner player than Jimi but Jimi's Jimi you know what I mean.
Sorry to break it to you but I can do that too I am a guitar prodigy I've been doing it since I was a kid the difference is that SRV could do it without making mistakes Jimi Hendrix played foolishly like a genius but still sloppy sorry you don't know enough about guitar to even comment
the best part of this, is this isnt even one of the best versions of the song live lmfao. if she one of the other live versions of this song, someone would need to give her oxygen lol.
SRV grew up in Oak Cliff Tx, a suburb of Dallas. He is buried there in Laurel Land Memorial Park next to Officer J.D. Tippit right up front by the office. The only two graves on a little island in the road. RIP.
This is one of the first reactions I saw from you...and I come back to it when I need to smile! Thanks Scribe! I've got this on in my favs... If you've ever had a whiskey buzz, while having sext on a beach in Texas, in mid- August...this song makes everything worthwhile! JS 😊
Literally every top blues player, rock guitarist, bowed down to him. He's the absolute GOAT. He was a pure natural. Never been surpassed
And yet he owes much to Jimi Hendrix.

I once saw a show and BB said SRV was the king of the blues.
BB King: Peter Green is the only guitarist to ever give me chills.
As long as there are human beings on planet earth who can feel anything at all, the Blues will NEVER die. That is an absolute impossibility.
Also said the only person he ever saw that completely mastered the guitar.
One of the sad things about Stevie Ray is that his vocals are honestly WAY underrated. What a RIDICULOUSLY underrated vocalist.
I couldn't agree more. I think his vocals are every bit as good and artistic as his guitar playing.
Not underrated to those that live around the gulf states.
Him and Chris Stapleton are opposite, just like Stevie’s vocals are under rated so is Chris’s guitar playing is underrated! I love them both.
@@rontiemens2553 thank you for giving me the insight that his vocals remind you the power of the vocals that go on inside of a chirch

John Mayer described Stevie’s voice as “Honey pored over gravel”. That sounds about right, way to go John !
That very sweaty man was Albert Collins “The Master of the Telecaster.” A great bluesman in his own right. He was know for having a very long cord and walking out of the front door of the club and playing in the street.
He did an amazing Jam with Rory Gallagher - another amazing blues guitar player.

Name one.

Agreed 100%

This man didn't own a guitar. A guitar owned the man . And it came right out his soul . Stevie whole body oozed the blues

He tuned a half step low E flat but still 13’s are heavy gauge for sure 11’s is as heavy as I can go That’s was a big part of the Tone he achieved
Bratwurst fingers
Imagine having the ability to break that heavy a gauge? Nobody could bend them like Stevie!
He broke a string playing behind his back!
He said, "That's Blues FROM Texas...He was the best ever!!!

He does a killer cover of Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child
John Williams honestly I think his version might be better than the Hendrix version
@@markvaars37 I completely agree with you
He kills it...in fact Hendrix wishes he could play like Stevie.
His version of Hendrix's Little Wing gives me chills every time i hear it!
Actuall the song is Voodoo Chile. A really old Delta Blues song. Think Muddy Waters era.
Even with heavy gauge strings, the mere force of his mitts ripped right through them. No one more skilled or passionate on the ax than Stevie. He's an alien.
ain't too many white dudes got enough swag to sing about themselves in third person. But Stevie just did it.

Live at the El Macombo is awesome . He broke a string here. Try his cover of Voodoo Chile
I’m rewatching some videos. This has to be one of your best and my favorite reactions! STEVIE reactions never get old and yours is priceless!
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing at El Mocambo. Or Stevie Ray Vaughan - Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland.
...let Little Wing play right into Third Stone from the Sun too but Tin Pan Alley, live from the Montreux (spelling) is A MUST SEE/LISTEN!!!
Oh, YEAH. Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland: if you can hear his first four notes and not feel it way down in your soul, I pity you.
The live version of Little Wing is absolutely sublime

I just became a SRV fan within the last 20 and this sealed the deal. So different than metal. Love it.
None stand his equal RIP Stevie ✌💖
Eventually, watching him, you just cry....you just literally cry watching him....saw him twice back in the early 80's. Once with Buddy Guy...at the old Antones. RIP Clifford Antone and SRV. I talked to Clifford years later about that night at the new Antones. Wonderful people. Nicest people you could ever meet.
Told you about SRV a while ago, so much music to discover, nobody better for me
Iam from Toronto and have been to ‘The Elmo’ May times. My brother saw SRV there.. he still talks about it 40 years later.
Oh hell yes, my Man from Texas. The best guitarist ever! I miss him every.single.day! Any time you see SRV give up Lenny it’s because he broke the 12 gauge strings. Man in gold jacket is big brother Jimmy.
If you can't feel this you don't have a soul, he's amazing !
I love SRV and the blues! He's one of the best ever! Try Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart doing I'll Take Care Of You!
Joe is sick but SRV for me....the best. Regardless, no other music moves me like the blues. It just reaches deep down inside, raw, no bullshit.
@@abc456f I love them both! Listen to David Gilmour playing the blues sometime. He's my personal favorite!
SRV is AMAZING, ALWAYS!!! RIP, Guitar King....
If you go back to the beginning of rock & roll , you'll see that the blues genre is the basic music , that started it. IE Led Zeppelin 2 album for instance. The name Pink Floyd is from two blues players. Pink Anderson & Floyd Council. Rolling Stones & other bands either have blues roots / songs.
Two other blues performers , who I believe have passed are Ritchie Havens & Muddy Waters. Check them out , if you like the blues or these performers.
Hendrix and the Doors as well
I'm just laughing out loud with joy at your great reaction. We'll never see another Stevie Ray.
he switched guitars cause the one he was playing first broke a string. I've played guitar for 14 years and never broken a string when playing thats how you know that man just shreds.
Lyle Chipperson tss tss plus he uses log chains as strings...or somptin. Home run chipperson.
Yes lyle i read his guitar in a magazine say he saw SRV snap the neck on one of his strats 😵!!! Now thats aggressive playing , ever look at Stevie's hands ? Beefy, and big veins !!
Thank you for "getting" SRV and giving him the respect you did. One of my neighbors and friends in Austin, TX was his guitar tech and road managers.... SRV was the bomb!
God said your to good for this world and took him home
enjoy it girl -- Stevie opens up a whole new world .
He broke a string, that's why the guitar was switched... watch Look at Little Sister Live at Austin
Never has been and never will be another like him. The best ever
Stevie Ray covered Stevie Wonder's Superstition. Just puttin that out there...
Love his cover of The Beatles Taxman Too
Welcome my young friend...To the SRV experience.....If you ever get the chance, listen to everything he has ever touched....pure gold sister...pure gold.....
Stevie has no equal...including Hendrix.
u krazy
Jimmie would have loved Stevie
I knew SRV was gonna get ya. Great reaction video. Why is it that all the truly great ones die so young?
Check out Stevie live Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland
The passion, the power, the glory. The Vaughn.
Jimi played the guitar behind his back and behind his head and between his legs and could play right and left handed with the strings strung either way. Stevie Ray said Jimi was the greatest. Not disrespecting SRV cause was amazing and it's hard for me to say which was better. Stevie was a cleaner player than Jimi but Jimi's Jimi you know what I mean.
Sorry to break it to you but I can do that too I am a guitar prodigy I've been doing it since I was a kid the difference is that SRV could do it without making mistakes Jimi Hendrix played foolishly like a genius but still sloppy sorry you don't know enough about guitar to even comment
thanks charles mabye the get it now
Stevie Ray Vaughan was the man! Keep his music alive. Loved your reaction.
Broke a string on Momma - tech brought him another git.
I love your reaction! STEVIE..one of the all time great! R I P .my man.
He broke strings thats why he had to change guitars.
I love SRV. Adding your voice would ba a blessing. When you sing you sound like an angel.
Gary Moore Still Got the Blues for You 🤘🤘
Nobody leave this place without sangin the blues.
SRV might be the GOAT but without Jimi who knows where he would have been.
He would have been doing incredible Texas Blues. duh...
RIP SRV any Stevie song is a treat
Think how good that could have been if he hadn't had to change guitars mid-way due to a broken string!!
I agree, greatest guitarist ever. He was very underrated.
this makes me realize how untalented I am.
You, JC, and everybody else...
You can take a seat right over there next to Eric Clapton.
SRV Lives in our hearts! Love and miss you Stevie! 💗🥰✌️🙏💌🎤🎸🎶💖😓
the best part of this, is this isnt even one of the best versions of the song live lmfao. if she one of the other live versions of this song, someone would need to give her oxygen lol.
My favorite reactor doing my favorite artist, Stevie Ray Vaughan, the perfect way to end the day!
He probably busted a string on the first guitar.
SRV grew up in Oak Cliff Tx, a suburb of Dallas. He is buried there in Laurel Land Memorial Park next to Officer J.D. Tippit right up front by the office. The only two graves on a little island in the road. RIP.
He broke a string and had to switch guitars.
Whut I was gonna say.
I was fortunate enough to see SRV in KC.MO. in 1989. Stevie was a bad BAD Man.
This girl tryin too hard
I saw him the summer before he passed. Thanks for this Ms Scribe. You are freakin’ 😎 awesome
She talks to much let us hear the master he will always be in our hearts
This is one of the first reactions I saw from you...and I come back to it when I need to smile! Thanks Scribe! I've got this on in my favs...
If you've ever had a whiskey buzz, while having sext on a beach in Texas, in mid- August...this song makes everything worthwhile! JS 😊
He's a legend.. was one of THE TOP PERFORMERS in the world lol. I've seen him,live 3 times... miss em days! ;-/
Stevie Ray Vaughan brought a religious experience with that guitar and that voice and the feeling that he invibed in to your soul.
You are so great and fun to watch your reaction on this one WOW thank you very entertaining!!
Girl you sparkle, love that you love the guitar, keep that light a shine’n
