One song all 3, Jimmy Hendricks, Stevie and Eric Clapton, have done is Little Wing. Iwas trying to nail down how Stevie played it, getting more and more frustrated. Then my wife pointed out "you are trying to play a song from a guitar legend, covered by a rock legend, as played by one of the greatest blues legends. You ain't there yet"

This is a magnificent cover of Jimi Hendrix. Stevie Ray Vaughan had so much respect for Jimi Hendrix that he asked the father James Allen Hendrix if it was okay to preform this song. Jimi Hendrix's father gave Stevie Ray Vaughan Jimi Hendrix's wah-wah pedal and it was used for this performance. Beautiful. Also, Stevie Ray Vaughan was hardwired to his guitar. The light, shade, emotion and skill in this live performance is breathtaking.

Still remember the day I heard we lost him. So thankful to have seen him live when he toured with Jeff Beck.

I love seeing someone who is classically trained enjoy this music we all love so much. Seeing her reaction is almost like hearing this for the first time again.

A couple of technical points for non-guitarists: Stevie makes the choppy rhythmic sound that has no pitch, as Elizabeth points out, by muting the strings with his left hand. You just lay your fingers over the strings but don't depress them. The wah-wah pedal helps too. By rocking it back and forth you alternate between high treble and high bass, so there's no change in pitch but there's a big and very sudden change in tone, which accentuates the rhythm if used properly. Jimi was the pioneer in this technique. As for playing guitar with one hand, you can do it even on a classical guitar - the technique is called slurring, and it involves either hammer-ons or pull-offs (basically you use a second finger to either down on a string and make a note, or to pull off the string at a higher pitch from the first note, in effect plucking the string.) With an electric guitar it's really easy if your amp is turned up. Simply fretting the strings will give you a sound, especially with a big valve-driven amp like Stevie's Marshall (the same amp that Jimi used). You should check out Jimi's original too! Not to take away from Stevie's superb cover, but Jimi invented this style of playing, and although technically he might not have been as good as Stevie, his creativity has not been matched.

SRV once played a notable show at the Illinois State Fair grandstand. Late in the concert, he was playing and soloing to this Hendrix song. A typical Midwest storm blew onto the fairgrounds, unleashing sheets of rain. He kept soloing as the rain poured and as lightning cracked overhead. Some concertgoers thought he was going to die from a lightning strike. He finished the song, went backstage to towel off and returned for the encore, which was "Couldn't Stand the Weather."

You did a wonderful job of touching on this in your first reaction of him. As a long time musician I enjoy your reactions for not just your knowledge, but your obvious love & passion of music. Thank you.

Listen to the last song on his final album, In Step, called Riviera Paradise. It was played on that same guitar. It isn`t his main one. I think he called the guitar Lenny because that was what he called his girlfriend (or wife?) Lenora. She helped him get the guitar by raising money from her job and his friends to buy it as a gift for him. He uses it on live versions of Lenny. But anyway, it had a unique sound, and you can tell it`s the same guitar heard on his first and last album. He wrote Lenny for her to help her fall asleep and sometimes he`d play it for an hour to lull her to sleep. That`s how he wrote it.

"Gnarly" is a great word to describe SRV's singing, which I enjoyed thoroughly.

I live in Toronto. I saw this show at the Elmo, Spadina Avenue. Good God, I think I remember every single lick! Before this, I'd seen AC/DC at Maple Leaf Gardens, Genesis at the same venue, the Tragically Hip at the Rivoli, and Lee Aaron at some bullsh!t club in Oshawa Ontario (courtesy of her cousin, a hockey player boarding in our home). Of those, the Hip and Stevie were just... indescribable. AC/DC was great, yes. Lee Aaron was a toot and a riot. But the sheer virtuosity of Stevie, and Gord's lyrics with the Hip (especially the Killer Whale Song!), were stunning, sublime and virtuosity beknighted. I'm so fortunate to have been able to see these incredible musicians in their prime, before they were taken away. Thank you SO much for this reminder. This, and the Texas Flood video, were golden. Please do a Hip video soon... Gord Downie need to be on your radar! Doesn't matter what song... but if you'd like, ANYTHING off of the Fully Completely album is stupendous, but Fifty-Mission Cap is just incredible. (Unfortunately, the only real live performance is during his last concert, when he was suffering from his brain tumor, so an album version would probably be more beneficial.) Man, is it worth it, though. Only the Killer Whale Song is better, but if you can find it, hat's off to you!

This is what 300% commitment looks like. SRV not only had “guitar face” but guitar body. He fully surrendered to the music and *became* the music.

Absolutely, and I just read that the original report of mechanical error in the helicopter was revised to pilot error. Turns out he or she was only licenced to fly during the day light by site because they couldn't fly by instuments alone. Taking off in blinding stage lights and then elevating into total darkness rendered the pilot without the ability to fly safely and crashed into the hill behind the stage. Such a poor decision that resulted in trajedy

Stevie wa one of those rare artisits who poured his etire soul into every performance ... he was NAKED before the audience

Stevie Ray Vaughn is just one big “musical orifice.” PS Please upload that reaction to Jimi’s original! 🙏

It's basically a Guitar God covering a Guitar God. It's very close to Jimi's original, worth checking out for yourself for sure. Stevie added some nice melody lines towards the end (starts at 25:59) and changed the guitar's rhythm pattern for the 2nd verse. Absolute greatness all around. By the way, this song is actually titled "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Jimi has another song called "Voodoo Chile" from his "Electric Ladyland" album, where this one also came from. It's a much slower pure Blues but it's equally amazing in it's own right.

It depended where you bought the album. The English release had "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)". Adding to the confusion is the fact that Jimi wrote notes using both versions of the title. You end up seeing almost every permutation of the title due to this.

Watching you watch Stevie play was so much fun! You totally got him. He was a one time force of nature and watching you experience him for the first time made my day. I’m old enough to remember when Hendrix played that at Woodstock 😉. Thanks for sharing with us.

SRV was often described by other musicians as a vessel. Music was channeled through him directly from the heavens. I’m so glad you were able to experience this. Thank you for this channel. Thank you for all you do. And most of all thank you for helping recreate the feeling of falling in love with music. As I said in the first video, SRV is the greatest guitar player ever, period!

Both Jimi and Stevie were insecure about their voices, I find that touching. They both pushed so much feeling into their singing.

LOVE THIS ! Her reaction to SRV is a great example of how music can effect a person on multiple levels. One of the best "reaction" videos I've ever seen. Huge fan of SRV, and now, a fan of The Charismatic Voice.

This is one of my favorite live SRV performances. The astounding thing to me is that he manages to absolutely keep true to the original while simultaneously making it his own. It is unmistakably Hendrix and SRV at the same time. I'm not sure how that is even possible but here it is. Elizabeth alludes to this but when he is in the groove it's like it's not even coming from him, it's like he's channeling something coming from somewhere else

Clearest case of the artist's personality shining through and making the difference. And of course the rest of the band. Cause in my humble opinion Double Trouble are a much better rhythm section then the Experience was. Incredibly tight and able to pick up the slightest nuance or signal from Stevie. Which is why the SRV version of Voodoo Chile is rhythmically much tighter then the Jimi Hendrix version.

I went to Austin for a job and the lead engineer told me about "this guy" who plays incredible guitar. We went. I was BLOWN away.

An extension of yourself can be done with a lot of things, but Stevie did it with a guitar. As long as the music lives, the man will always have life. R.I.P.

I can watch him play over and over...He was and still is the best ever. Hands down.

This is a great reaction! I am a SRV fan and he more than any one got me hooked on Blues music. I also appreciate the3 analysis and the obvious JOY 'charismatic voice' shares with us her breakdown of why SRV was such a musical phenonium in this genre!

These SRV reactions are everything I enjoy about watching you react. His cover of Little Wing is another great one, and if you have any spare time, even though it's an instrumental, you should give Lenny, from this same performance, a listen. It is truly a beautiful piece.

I genuinely love when non-guitarists talk about what guitarists do. The wah-wah noise you mention in the opening is actually called a wah-wah pedal which is a controllable filter that changes the harmonic content and he's doing it while muting all the strings so the overtones shift as he uses the pedal. And he was a master of playing all the strings, muting most of them and still playing specific notes which is something you noticed. It gives a very 'gnarly' attack as you say and the note really cuts.

Hi Elizabeth. I've been going back and listening to all my favorites and enjoying them all over again. You make my heart smile, seeing you discover my favorite guitar slinger. You are so right how music can have an effect on you physically and especially mentally. I'm not going to ask you to do a video of this, but Stevies "Life by the Drop" has a special place for me. I lost my only child, my son, to cancer in 2008. He had just turned 18. I think you'll like it because it's just Stevie and a 12 string. Very emotional. Keep doing what you do. I'll always be here. ❤

People will be discovering and coming back to Stevie forever-- marveling at the musicality, emotion and the astounding way he expresses it all. One of a kind

One of my favorite videos is when he breaks a string mid-song while singing at Austin City Limits. The guitar tech comes up behind him, and they do the cleanest guitar switch you'll ever see, and the band doesn't miss a beat. Badass🎸

I was attending college in Austin during SRV's heyday. I am so fortunate to have seen him a few times. In person, it was so crazy. I thought I'd live my whole life watching him play. Not to be. Good times, good people, good place, lightening in a bottle.

That's one of your best videos yet.

SRV is fully immersed in the music and gets lost in another world… Yes! You nailed it. The music and passion flow through him.

The Pride of Texas. I got to see him about 6 months before he passed . You could feel his energy , he gave it his all onstage.

That feeling you feel when listening to Stevie can best be described as “ear-gasmic”. You feel it throughout your whole body.

It's so great to watch you experience music we already know is great 😊

You gave THE best analysis I've heard. I wondered why I come back and back to SRV.

SRV just oozed pure music. Even his sweat had perfect pitch. Legend has it that once upon a time, during a particularly intense recording session, he dropped his guitar due to a faulty strap button. The tape was still going when it hit the floor and that sound alone sold 250,000 records. He's a prime example of someone becoming one with his music. The world wasn't just robbed by his passing, we were beaten, bound, gagged, hooded, and thrown in the closet.
