Check out Jimmi Hendrix voodoo child in 69 at Woodstock. The technology isn't ad good, but he picked up guitar cause of him. Jimmi is also left handed, playing the guitar upside down. Plays a heck of a performance at woodstick
You Can only stand in ord of SRVs skill, and Much like jimi made all along the watchtower his own Steve does the same with jimis tunes, and for the better, we sorely miss Them both!
@@patrickciacco1083 I was lucky enough to see him twice in south Florida, once the FAb T birds opened for him, he brought the house down both times.....
You are right, my friend. "#1" was an extention of him and that guitar should have been buried with him too. They don't make musicians/guitar players with this much soul and integrity, these days anymore. SRV played REAL guitar!!! Guitar players these days use too many effects, stomp boxes, and digital pedals to try to make their music sound good. I think using too much digital effects ruins the music, to a degree (definitely makes live shows SUCK when they don't play real instrument and just jump around on stage with a microphone). Today, music awards go to folks like, "Pharrell Williams" who thinks they are actual musicians by pressing buttons on a computer/effects processor and making a few beats with a drum machine (SMH,). SRV is what we use to call, "real RAW talent".
The most gifted guitar player ever. There are some iconic guitar players in history but SRV is as rare as they come. I can’t imagine the music that would have being made if both Hendrix and SRV were alive today.
@@RH-vl2wy lol, modified 13s. To be precise: .013 -- .015 -- .019 (unwound) -- .028 -- .038 -- .058. But playing detuned to Eb (like his hero Jimi) so the strings were easier to bend. and the songs were easier to sing.
I'm going take y'all to the Spring of 88 at UCONN spring weekend. SRV was performing this jam in front of 35,000 folks. My buddy Tom and I were front row dead center. Stevie broke a string playing his solo and never stopped playing. Changed shit up on the fly. That solo still sends chills down My spine. Legendary.
Probably the best and most recognizable opening guitar rifts of all-time! SRV was a genre all of his own, great mix of Southern Rock, Rhythm & Blues, soul, and a touch of Country instrumentally and vocally
Amazing, isn't it how the ones who sing the truth are eliminated. Even Mama Cass. I didn't get that one. I guess she refused to sell her soul to those who worship Satan.

He toted the gun of righteousness in his soul as a humanitarian spreading love and encouraging others to do the same while entertaining with a guitar lick that came straight from the powers that be, Jesus Christ.

Always go back n forth with who is my number one fav .that day between Jimi and Stevie .Probably only because I listened to JMH for yrs. before knowing who SRV even was.Both in their own class but you know Stevie loved Jimi . and Jimi gotta Love Stevie !! U know dat!! Fortunate to see SRV w/ Fab Thunderbirds as back up in Honolulu 86.Oh , hey ! #3 Carlos !!
I have so much respect for this musician as he faced his demons and took rehab seriously! AND he continued to make beautiful music until his untimely demise. RIP SRV !!! Thank you for your legacy of music ... no matter when you performed.
How is there even one person disliking this?. Even if the music's not your cup of tea, how can anyone not see his genius and mastery of the electric guitar? What a superhuman talent. Unreal.
I love how he stuck those extra notes into the intro and the drummer hesitated for a few seconds, look confused, then looked over at SRV and smiled. ;) Classic.
H M Stevie never played this as many other songs the same way twice lol The band follows Stevie. I know most of the time there’s no set list. He just get up there and starts playing and they follow lol There are many versions of Voodoo Child. There’s one particular I use to have on Cd that the ending is similar to this one but but about a minute or so longer. He just made the guitar hum with wah like no one ever has.
I'm seeing it as Stevie going down the neck, trailing off with lower notes, not the high energy intro, and the drummer is looking, wondering if it's the start for him when it is.

As a musician myself - and having seen Eric Clapton and BB King state this - I can say his "gift" on top of the techniques and all was the ability to seemingly have an endless supply of creativity in a live situation. Clapton said it was "like a faucet" - he just turns it on and it just keeps coming.
Right on. I remember listening to Eric talking about his playing and he said, "He never seemed "lost", that the music just flowed effortlessly out of him". The irony is it's Eric saying that about the man he gave up his sit in the helicopter for. Sad day. Just amazing to watch him play.
SRV really "paid his dues" in the early days, playing in bars and clubs for next to nothing. The first time I saw SRV was in a reception hall in 1983. The stage was a foot high and I was 3 ft in fromt of him. He was hardly known then. One of my friends said he heard SRV was a good blues player and we should go since tx were just $5.. He blew my face off when he played Voodoo Chile.
If you ever saw him live....he melted your face every song. I've seen tons of great guitar players in my time, but SRV was the only one who truly blew me away....4th row helped too....
Have u seen Hendrix live because he made legends want to learn how to play the guitar the its supposed to be played that comes from Paige Clapton Beck Townsend so on and so on Stevie Ray was a BADASS MOFO NODOUBT
The first time I ever heard his music, it was live. A friend said to me he reckoned I would like it, so I bought a ticket and went. Never heard a single recording up to that point. In fact, got to the venue in the afternoon, found an open door and went in. The band came on stage to sound check (20 minute rendition of Mary had a little lamb) and I walked up and stood at the front of the stage.... So the first time I ever heard SRV play, he was standing 10 feet in front of me in an empty auditorium. The memory is burned into my brain such that it still gives me chills when I recall it, almost 40 years later.
My daughter once asked me "why does he dress so funny?" I said, Right now, outside of Eddie he’s the best guitarist walking around planet Earth. He wears watever he wants.
Fooks I didn't know Jimi was alive when this was recorded. He is a God and was once the best, hence the strange outfits. After Stevie passed away, Prince took over the throne. More strange outfits, and pancakes after basketball. Just my opinion.
He surpassed Jimi....it wasn't even close. Plus, SRV was on the 13 gauges. Who else could even attempt to bend those like that. Guys hands were strong as an Ox.
@@LT1HILLINGHOE SRV not even in the same league as Hendrix.. this is laughable compared to any Hendrix version especially the live ones.. just a weak wanna be Hendrix worshipper who owes everything to Jimi and Albert King.."copycat "imitator. Totally unoriginal.. even tried to dress like Jimi...
Back in the late 90's my brother Nick named me Showny Ray Vaughan cause I play and my name is Shawn but spelled cein!! I consider it an honor having this name. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the best in my eyes I miss him dearly R.I.P brother!!!
Sadly I doubt that... All of us who can think with our own brains already understaind and see that todays generations are already half robots with a very few human "components" in them. No soul, no spirit, arrogant, proud but ignorant, very low IQ and intelect, do not appreciate anything or anyone, very sociopatic, no respect, empty eyes etc... Mostly those are millenialls. Not all but most of them. There are normal Millenialls, but very few... Z Gen is even worse. You have to own emotional intelligence to be able to like the Blues or any kind of music, they do not have that in them. Not anymore. Imagine now the world, when this half-humans will have theyr own children. That is very soon and that is the end. Evolution went backards. Litterally. We are the last of our kind if nothing will be done to change that. We created them and that kind of "mentallity", we normal humans did this. The biggest mistake ever...
Those notes he was hitting towards the end adding the pinch harmonics! Not to mention he played so cleanly, This man is top 3 for sure! And this was live!
Stevie Ray was ascending the throne of Hendrix when he left us. What a tremendous exciting talent and master of the electric guitar. All of us guitar pickers bow to the master blaster Hendrix, but Stevie Ray was blazing a trail of his own. He would have been the man. Dam just think what we have missed with the loss of his talent.
I can say my generation grew up with the best music ever put out there. There hasn't been anything even come close to it since the eighties, it ended there. The rest has been mundane and can't even get close to what we were blessed to hear for the first time.
Respect to Stevie , but He's playing music created by black men. You cant listen to him WITHOUT thinking of where the music came from. Eminem is not a refinement of Rakim. RIP SRV
I'm sure its directed more at the song being called Voodoo Chile than any inherent dislike of the actual song. At least, thats why I'm not giving it a thumbs up as much as I love it.
Katrina Paton ... I rarely give a thumbs up bc it messes with the algorithm and helps the creator (of which I know nothing about), so I guess with that same logic, I guess one would prefer not to get similar videos in their recommended feed. But this sort, for me I guess, was a thumbs up. I sometimes find it hard to believe that someone would click play on a vid like this without at least knowing somewhat about what they are about to watch.... oh well to each their own
Ladies and gents, that was a BAD MAN, greatest to ever play. Vai, satch, Johnson, malmsteen, dime, all were great but no one will ever be like Stevie. My damn hero
btm wtfb “g3 are awful” there’s a reason for that. Generally, when you put three or more great guitar players on stage at the same time, they have this unfortunate tendency of getting in each other’s way. The end result is frequent clashing of musical ideas the just don’t sync. Then your left with a off kilter mess. Don’t get me wrong. I love all of the g3 players individually but when you put them together it just falls apart.
Alexander Henry when you play as many shows in a row as that crew did it’s impossible to be perfect every night. I’d like to see who you would put ahead of him. The man was untouchable. On another level period !!!!!
Nobody could pull this off like SRV. Covering. Voodoo was as bold as covering Stairway and he played it with the same raw power as Hendrix as intended.
Saw him in Pittsburgh, stage was set up in front of railroad tracks. Downtown Pittsburgh was in the background. Partway through the show a train went by. The most incredible sight ever! Mid-June clear blue skies!😎✌️❤️
So happy to be sitting here on the shores of Lake Winnipeg in the cool, cool weather, in my cozy house sipping on a glass of my favorite cheap wine and listening to Stevie Ray doing Voodo Chile...
In my opinion this version is waaaay better than any other version made....even better than the ones I've seen Hendrix play...SRV polished the gem and created a very nice masterpiece....my respects
SRV is the greatest guitarist to ever walk the earth, hands down. nobody could interface with a guitar like that man did. it was like a part of his body. people love to show off technical skill and talk about how fast they can play this and that, SRV could do all that but didn’t maximize how technically difficult something was, he just put all of his soul into making his music as mind blowing as it is. nobody could, or can currently, play guitar as well as SRV could, period.
I know this sounds crazy, but watching Stevie is like watching Bruce Lee fighting. Each one was a master of their discipline and it was like a natural expression of their personality. He had such a groove to his way of playing, I love the video of “couldn’t stand the weather” where he’s standing in the rain just jamming away, the guitar was his weapon. I really miss this dude.
Not crazy at all. "Be like water". I first saw SRV on SNL waaayyy back when and I was amazed at how easy he made it seem to play guitar. Yeah, not as easy as he made it look.
Quality that is perfection, hard to describe, full sound, perfect sound too, perfect play, technically and musically, raw power, no empty repetition, such amazing variation, the fluidity, tremendous build-up, then pause and a break of the voodoo train and then start again, so much control, and so FREE, oh my oh my ... the best version of voodoo child and if not so then certainly on an equal footing with Jimi's. Oh yes, the other musicians are absolutely great too to make this happen, thank you
Jimmi Hendrix was better hr did it in the 60s and played a right handed guitar backwards left handed. The the creator if the song and technology had advanced 17 years or more since his video .voodoo child jimmi hendrix 1970 watch it
Whatever . You idiots that must have an opinion on everything great. My guess you are a mediocre guitar player, or not one at all. Somehow you think your opinion matters to everyone. @egregst.martin4889
THANK GOD, I GOT TO SEE HIM TWICE IN CONCERT!! HE BLEW MY MIND THEN AND STILL DOES TO THIS DAY! YES IM OLD NOW BUT STILL LOVE SRV AND ALL THE LEGENDS I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WITNESS GROWING UP!!
This is art, I’m 13, so I’ve been listening to this for only a little bit but he inspired me to start guitar a few years ago, the world would be a better place if Stevie was still alive, we will all see you in haven someday, RIP
Nobody has filled his shoes since we lost him. He will always be in a class of a select few. RIP SRV.....we named out long haired chihuahua's Stevie and Ray, our next dog will of course be named Vaughn.
SRV was freakishly good. He always managed to phrase in the way the mind wants hear. You heard power, fury, playfulness and poetry at the same time, every note....
@@christopherprosser9177 yes stevie actually found the guitar in a store just after the original owner dropped it in he claimed that he wanted something beefier so decided to get a les paul.i bet he regreted that.as “number one” is one if the most famous guitars in the world.
I first saw Stevie and his brother Jimmie play in 1978! Got to know them in Houston and Austin. Saw them play with so many greats, Big Mama Thornton, Lighni'n Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters! Epic, way before they hit the national stage! Best ever!
Wow! He is only 30 yrs old here and he is THIS good! These were his last five years...but his music will live on forever! I'm a pro rock photographer and it pains me that i never got to photograph him
I met Stevie, briefly, while working the Serious Moonlight tour rehearsals in Las Colinas, TX, just before he quit the tour. His whole setup was a Fender Twin, a Mesa Boogie, and an A/B switch. All that amazing tone was just Stevie.
You know, when Jimi left us, his spirit floated around for awhile, and then noticed this young kid from Texas, and thought that looks like a good place for me to be. Stevie left us, and I reckon that spirit is still lookin.
Comparing Jimi 's to Stevie Ray's V Child is a insult to both of them. Both are very unique and great! I love what each one of them has brought to this song and I can appreciate their different styles too.
Stunning, one of the best SRV & DT performances I've seen.... the guitar virtuoso, the vocals, DTs rythym section.... this works on all levels. And Stevie's tone... just surreal.

And still is!

It is amazing how he could modernize the Hendrix sound, then play the song with his own style but stay also loyal to the original song. Incredible.
Well yes he has the guitar licks, but his vocals fail.
He had a better voice...
Amazing !
He's way more clean and technically better on guitar than Hendrix but Jimmy had the creativity. Join it and this is the result
Well put
His guitar was like an extension of his body....natural, and you could feel his soul coming through his music!

Exactly! I seen him 3x. Just the very best I've ever seen and Ive seen all the great ones.
Have u seen Hendrix live because he made legends want to learn how to play the guitar the its supposed to be played that comes from Paige Clapton Beck Townsend so on and so on Stevie Ray was a BADASS MOFO NODOUBT
The first time I ever heard his music, it was live. A friend said to me he reckoned I would like it, so I bought a ticket and went. Never heard a single recording up to that point. In fact, got to the venue in the afternoon, found an open door and went in. The band came on stage to sound check (20 minute rendition of Mary had a little lamb) and I walked up and stood at the front of the stage.... So the first time I ever heard SRV play, he was standing 10 feet in front of me in an empty auditorium. The memory is burned into my brain such that it still gives me chills when I recall it, almost 40 years later.
That sound can only come from immense confidence and the talent to back it up. What a master.
My daughter once asked me "why does he dress so funny?" I said, Right now, outside of Eddie he’s the best guitarist walking around planet Earth. He wears watever he wants.
I agree with the best guitarist ever, The walking around the planet not so much
In response to the daughter who asked why he dresses funny and the answer he is the greatest guitar player etc well both of u r right lol
Chris Prosser Jimmy Hendricks is lord
Fooks I didn't know Jimi was alive when this was recorded. He is a God and was once the best, hence the strange outfits. After Stevie passed away, Prince took over the throne. More strange outfits, and pancakes after basketball. Just my opinion.
@@edwardboscaino438 BB king once said in a concert i went to, he said he was asked, "why you sit down to play yo guitar BB? he says cuz i can baby. "
How can anyone pull off a Hendrix song, and it be iconic like this, this song is so badass, I hope my neighbors like it too
RIP SRV
There have been many great guitarists, but SRV had extraterrestrial level skills.
Indeed galactic heart speak
For the life of me I never continually watched one single episode of that boring ass tv show. Extraterrestrial says it all.
Having seen both Jimmy and Stevie. I have been blessed. They torch not play. Find both their studio versions and enjoy.
Jimmy Vaughan or Jimi Hendrix???
Im 25 years old and glad my grandma got me into blues. Stevie!! Cheers!
Rock on!!!!!! Much love 💘❤ 💘 ❤ 💗
If you have a chance out my cover of Voodoo Child on my channel much appreciated
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟
Oh son he played a right hand guitar new know different and a master without the tech of today, what 50 years ago?
Thank God young people today are discovering real music.
S.R.V probably the only guitar player who could get to Jimi's level on this song, simply breath taking
Amen to that❤
He surpassed Jimi....it wasn't even close. Plus, SRV was on the 13 gauges. Who else could even attempt to bend those like that. Guys hands were strong as an Ox.
@@LT1HILLINGHOE SRV not even in the same league as Hendrix.. this is laughable compared to any Hendrix version especially the live ones.. just a weak wanna be Hendrix worshipper who owes everything to Jimi and Albert King.."copycat "imitator. Totally unoriginal.. even tried to dress like Jimi...
Jesus Christ. That's burning down the house. There was magic in Stevie's hands and he and that guitar were one soul. RIP dude. We sure do miss you.
Back in the late 90's my brother Nick named me Showny Ray Vaughan cause I play and my name is Shawn but spelled cein!! I consider it an honor having this name. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the best in my eyes I miss him dearly R.I.P brother!!!
This video is 11 minutes plus and it still feels like it's too short!!! 🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍!!!
When you see this you realize this was a magic age for music which alas is now over.
Thank god they recorded so many of his performances for generations to see RIP SRV

I found his studio albums a bit too "clean". His live work is great, though.
Srv didn't write this Hendrix did
Sadly I doubt that... All of us who can think with our own brains already understaind and see that todays generations are already half robots with a very few human "components" in them. No soul, no spirit, arrogant, proud but ignorant, very low IQ and intelect, do not appreciate anything or anyone, very sociopatic, no respect, empty eyes etc... Mostly those are millenialls. Not all but most of them. There are normal Millenialls, but very few... Z Gen is even worse.
You have to own emotional intelligence to be able to like the Blues or any kind of music, they do not have that in them. Not anymore. Imagine now the world, when this half-humans will have theyr own children. That is very soon and that is the end. Evolution went backards. Litterally. We are the last of our kind if nothing will be done to change that. We created them and that kind of "mentallity", we normal humans did this. The biggest mistake ever...
@@hetjamesfield4473 They sound like monsters. Good thing I'm not one of them.
EVERY CARVING INTO MY BODY WAS DONE LISTENING TO YOU
I cannot go over over how much funk this band actually has, to groove is so tight
This man was crazy, no other guitarist will ever be like him, there was one and it was him, cheers to anyone listening to this, quarantine or not.
crazy!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen brother
Those notes he was hitting towards the end adding the pinch harmonics! Not to mention he played so cleanly, This man is top 3 for sure! And this was live!
Cap I agree. This is not normal behavior.
Not to magician level, but if you want help playing SRV, you might like th-cam.com/video/EJIVGac4IvM/w-d-xo.html

Berry Oakley on Bass, and Duane on slide. If there's a rock n' roll heaven, you know they got a hell of a band.

Or jam with them myself, preferably
Rest in peace Stevie Ray! You are performing for God! The greatest gig of all!
Amen,

Stevie Ray was ascending the throne of Hendrix when he left us. What a tremendous exciting talent and master of the electric guitar. All of us guitar pickers bow to the master blaster Hendrix, but Stevie Ray was blazing a trail of his own. He would have been the man. Dam just think what we have missed with the loss of his talent.
When my wife saw him play she said "It's like the guitar is part of his body". Smart woman.
You lucky Man... not many of em ....
She's a keeper. You should marry her! Wait...
marry her again
Good idea!
yeah. the penis part
I can say my generation grew up with the best music ever put out there. There hasn't been anything even come close to it since the eighties, it ended there. The rest has been mundane and can't even get close to what we were blessed to hear for the first time.
SO TRUE ALL GENRES WERE ROCKING IN THE 80s !!!
Ever hear of Eric Gales?
@@troyvise1641
Good call Bro!
👍🙏
i was in grade 7,and i remember going to my aunt's house and she would have this on all the time...oh those days...
TRUE THAT!
The 80s truly was
THE LAST GREAT DECADE
of ALL
ROCK HISTORY!
And...
I lived through it ALL!!!
That's what keeps me going,
Kids.
LOT OF BLOOD SPILLED LISTENING TO THOSE RIFFS
Every Hendrix cover that Stevie Ray did was better. A refinement of the original. He was a true Texas gentleman. God bless Stevie!
Utter shit compared to Hendrix original sorry no comparison
You're insane. Don't be an ass
Respect to Stevie , but He's playing music created by black men. You cant listen to him WITHOUT thinking of where the music came from. Eminem is not a refinement of Rakim. RIP SRV
I totally agree 💯
Stevie Ray was one of the best guitar players ever,!!!
Who the hell would dislike this... how did you even get here and push play if you don't love Srv
I don't even like Texas blues much, but damn, I love Stevie. During that whole performance he never gives that Strat a break.
I'm sure its directed more at the song being called Voodoo Chile than any inherent dislike of the actual song. At least, thats why I'm not giving it a thumbs up as much as I love it.
Katrina Paton ... I rarely give a thumbs up bc it messes with the algorithm and helps the creator (of which I know nothing about), so I guess with that same logic, I guess one would prefer not to get similar videos in their recommended feed. But this sort, for me I guess, was a thumbs up. I sometimes find it hard to believe that someone would click play on a vid like this without at least knowing somewhat about what they are about to watch.... oh well to each their own
@@katrinapaton5283 Your first sentence was so smart, and then your second sentence was not so smart.
@@rebbeshort Thanks, I worked really hard on doing that, nice to see I succeeded. Makes me feel like a budgey.
Ladies and gents, that was a BAD MAN, greatest to ever play. Vai, satch, Johnson, malmsteen, dime, all were great but no one will ever be like Stevie. My damn hero
g3 are awful
Agree my friend
btm wtfb “g3 are awful” there’s a reason for that.
Generally, when you put three or more great guitar players on stage at the same time, they have this unfortunate tendency of getting in each other’s way. The end result is frequent clashing of musical ideas the just don’t sync. Then your left with a off kilter mess.
Don’t get me wrong. I love all of the g3 players individually but when you put them together it just falls apart.
Alexander Henry when you play as many shows in a row as that crew did it’s impossible to be perfect every night. I’d like to see who you would put ahead of him. The man was untouchable. On another level period !!!!!
@You Tuber Dime was an incredible guitar player. Most of the players from the 60's and 70's couldn't even be Dime's roadie.
Early 80s,Agora Ballroom, West Hartford Conn, chrome guitar with s r v blasting in your face, stays in your heart forever
I born in 60s..grew up listening to jimmy..my brothers coming out of Vietnam.....Stevie raised the bar higher..he tore it up...
The man was from another planet …..the void he left is still felt today...so missed !!!
Miss. E..ooohll
There's people who play music and then there's people who ARE music. This is one of the latter.
SRV done more with 1 note than most can do with a million.
Nobody could pull this off like SRV. Covering. Voodoo was as bold as covering Stairway and he played it with the same raw power as Hendrix as intended.
@@guitarplayer2846 - SRV was a great.
Saw him in Pittsburgh, stage was set up in front of railroad tracks. Downtown Pittsburgh was in the background. Partway through the show a train went by. The most incredible sight ever! Mid-June clear blue skies!😎✌️❤️
@@robertkroberjr.157 - Its the little things. Wish i could have experienced that.
Jimi would be proud listening to this cover. SRV gone way too soon. Great guitarist and style of his own and superb Hendrix covers.
So happy to be sitting here on the shores of Lake Winnipeg in the cool, cool weather, in my cozy house sipping on a glass of my favorite cheap wine and listening to Stevie Ray doing Voodo Chile...
Gail Halldorson Sounds like paradise!
Gail Halldorson sounds likes paradise!
I love SRV.. This was a stellar performance. You were taken away from us way to soon. Rest easy Stevie ♥️🦋🥰😢
In my opinion this version is waaaay better than any other version made....even better than the ones I've seen Hendrix play...SRV polished the gem and created a very nice masterpiece....my respects
100% agree. More than 1 song.
Absolutely Better!
I’ve always said Hendrix played it.. But SRV schooled Hendrix on his own song,And Mastered it
A true Master of his 🎸 !
SRV is the greatest guitarist to ever walk the earth, hands down. nobody could interface with a guitar like that man did. it was like a part of his body. people love to show off technical skill and talk about how fast they can play this and that, SRV could do all that but didn’t maximize how technically difficult something was, he just put all of his soul into making his music as mind blowing as it is. nobody could, or can currently, play guitar as well as SRV could, period.
Watch Jimmi hendrix the person he copied. Jimmi played this and is way better
Knowing that I'll never be able to see Stevie live just destroys my heart. The GOAT.
Pure heaven would be to see Hendrix and Vaughn jamming!
I never thought of that. It would be out of this this galaxy.
OH Shit ya
@@Sammybizness g get hg h
The problem is that the universe is not yet ready to handle that level of awesomeness.
Hendrix usually played bass when jamming with skilled guitarrist. He was humble, never considered himself great.
I know this sounds crazy, but watching Stevie is like watching Bruce Lee fighting. Each one was a master of their discipline and it was like a natural expression of their personality. He had such a groove to his way of playing, I love the video of “couldn’t stand the weather” where he’s standing in the rain just jamming away, the guitar was his weapon. I really miss this dude.
Not crazy at all. "Be like water". I first saw SRV on SNL waaayyy back when and I was amazed at how easy he made it seem to play guitar. Yeah, not as easy as he made it look.
I'm a very straight dude, but gotta say there's something sexy in the way Stevie controls that guitar and throws it around at his will.
There has to be a special place in hell for whoever decided to run adds in the middle of a SRV solo...
just came from a zakk wylde video where someone said the same haha
Just had an ad in the middle of the Free bird solo that I couldn't skip. They know how to kill a vibe..

Quality that is perfection, hard to describe, full sound, perfect sound too, perfect play, technically and musically, raw power, no empty repetition, such amazing variation, the fluidity, tremendous build-up, then pause and a break of the voodoo train and then start again, so much control, and so FREE, oh my oh my ... the best version of voodoo child and if not so then certainly on an equal footing with Jimi's.
Oh yes, the other musicians are absolutely great too to make this happen, thank you
Jimmi Hendrix was better hr did it in the 60s and played a right handed guitar backwards left handed. The the creator if the song and technology had advanced 17 years or more since his video .voodoo child jimmi hendrix 1970 watch it
Whatever . You idiots that must have an opinion on everything great. My guess you are a mediocre guitar player, or not one at all. Somehow you think your opinion matters to everyone. @egregst.martin4889
Music. This is music. This is what a guitar should sound like. We need this back
Never saw anybody play like it's a bad ass part of him. Flawless!
Stevie Ray won Best Guitar Player of the year for 7 years after he died. Fuck. RIP
THANK GOD, I GOT TO SEE HIM TWICE IN CONCERT!! HE BLEW MY MIND THEN AND STILL DOES TO THIS DAY! YES IM OLD NOW BUT STILL LOVE SRV AND ALL THE LEGENDS I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WITNESS GROWING UP!!
I sooooo envy you
1 of the very few artists who can legitimately cover this song, especially in a live performance.
Best guitar player ever to grace the face of the earth!!
This is art, I’m 13, so I’ve been listening to this for only a little bit but he inspired me to start guitar a few years ago, the world would be a better place if Stevie was still alive, we will all see you in haven someday, RIP
This guy never stops amazing me. Truly believe he is one of the absolute best to ever play! The power and emotion he plays with is just crazy.
Savage, gut wrenching. I have to writhe and squirm when he plays this.. and I'm a Grandpa!
Never has and never will be another person who can play like this
His talent came directly from his soul.
Nobody has filled his shoes since we lost him. He will always be in a class of a select few. RIP SRV.....we named out long haired chihuahua's Stevie and Ray, our next dog will of course be named Vaughn.
Matthew Scott is getting there guitar wise at least
Asher Films Derek Trucks is in the conversation
😆
Dont skip over Prince .....Stevie holds a special place in my heart. Introduced to me by a special man at the age of 12. Thank you sir.
Lol I had two cats called Flash Flood...of topic...but it is as funny calling them home every night.
SRV was freakishly good.
He always managed to phrase in the way the mind wants hear.
You heard power, fury, playfulness and poetry at the same time, every note....
If anyone deserved to play Hendrix it is Stevie...Total respect....Jimi would be proud
R. I. P.

The most beautiful Fender Strat ever... this baby's got some hard miles on it but keeps rolling smooth...
It might be old guitar but it has a lot of miles on it but it still plays like a brand new guitar and took care of it
Word has it Christopher Cross was the original owner. SRV picked it up second hand.
@@christopherprosser9177 yes stevie actually found the guitar in a store just after the original owner dropped it in he claimed that he wanted something beefier so decided to get a les paul.i bet he regreted that.as “number one” is one if the most famous guitars in the world.
@@christopherprosser9177 Best thing Cross ever did for music...
I first saw Stevie and his brother Jimmie play in 1978! Got to know them in Houston and Austin. Saw them play with so many greats, Big Mama Thornton, Lighni'n Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters! Epic, way before they hit the national stage! Best ever!
Wow! He is only 30 yrs old here and he is THIS good! These were his last five years...but his music will live on forever! I'm a pro rock photographer and it pains me that i never got to photograph him
I must say Stevie was definitely in the mood to play that night, that was freaking awesome. I’m 64yo and that kicked ass. Love the blues...
I saw him in 1985 on Long Island. He opened with Voodoo Chile. So good it gave me goose bumps.
I met Stevie, briefly, while working the Serious Moonlight tour rehearsals in Las Colinas, TX, just before he quit the tour. His whole setup was a Fender Twin, a Mesa Boogie, and an A/B switch. All that amazing tone was just Stevie.
Jimi would applaud this for sure, absolutely incredible version. Thank you Stevie!
YOU KNOW WHY AYE KNEW ~ BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T PLAYING IN HEAVEN… AND THAT’S MY MUSIC SELECTION
Haven't watched Stevie Ray in a long time. Truly mind blowing talent
You know, when Jimi left us, his spirit floated around for awhile, and then noticed this young kid from Texas, and thought that looks like a good place for me to be. Stevie left us, and I reckon that spirit is still lookin.
Comparing Jimi 's to Stevie Ray's V Child is a insult to both of them. Both are very unique and great! I love what each one of them has brought to this song and I can appreciate their different styles too.
Four fingers I like it bro
It's obvious throughout this song that the only person he was playing this for was Jimi. Well done SRV. Brilliant!
Stunning, one of the best SRV & DT performances I've seen.... the guitar virtuoso, the vocals, DTs rythym section.... this works on all levels. And Stevie's tone... just surreal.
