If anyone knows anything about SRV he learned from the only two true god fathers of blues Albert King & BB King . fuck Hendrix he was never even close talent wise to Albert & BB King so when both of those two god fathers of blues paid homage to the great SRV that's mind blowing proof you've earned the status around the table of legends of all time lmmfao jimmy hendrix never was more than a pile of shit...

Yo LL.....those are some BOLD statements about Jimi! Now I personally don't know much about guitar players and I don't like BLUES so I can't dispute your comments HOWEVER....I think this may be cause for a Jimi vs SRV Reaction Challenge! Send me 2 SRV recommendations & 2 "UNBIASED" Jimi recommendation so I can do a FAIR/HONEST comparison reaction.

Larry don't disrespect Jimi Hendrix bc if you are a true fan of SRV you know that Stevie loved him. Jimi Hendrix was more rock n roll and Stevie was more blue's and Stevie would never never put him down.

The magic started the minute he opened his mouth. He is magic. The best there’s ever been .

Man he aint cocky..he was just that good..what he felt like doin at the time, in the moment✌

Maybe its been pointed out, but did you notice how he changed guitars near the beginning of the performance. Pure legend and shout out to his guitar tech, the best in the business. Stevie played with so much raw emotion that his strings would constantly break and you would never miss a beat with the change.

Stevie didn't just say those words to say them. He truly meant them, believed them, and lived them. He was one of the most kind and humble human beings who happened to be one of the most talented guitarists of all time. He also believed that he was a black man stuck in a white man's body. SRV was honestly one of a kind and in my opinion, he's the GOAT 🐐.

He charged his guitar, then he played behind his back played with his teeth and chiped a tooth played with 1 hand tunded a string adjusted the amps he was incredible. That's My Stevie ❤❤. I was there. He was the GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET BAR NONE 💯 % . ❤❤

He was self taught and he played special ordered 13 Gauge strings and if you notice when he plays the guitar he don’t look at it, also if you noticed he was looking around after playing with his teeth he lost a tooth and mouthed tooth gone

Stevie is a blues legend. Check out his videos with Albert King and Johnny Copeland. Stevie is the GOAT

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 You're spot-on, my friend. Stevie oozed soul and he played from some place deep and magical. In fact, dude was probably an alien cause he wasn't from earth. 👽 In this song alone he changed guitars, played behind the back, one handed, backwards, and with his teeth (and lost a tooth)...dude was THE goat. Period. There's so much to say about Stevie, but the highlights to know about him are the fact that he really was humble. He gave his fans their money's worth, but he was truly humble. Especially when playing with other guitarists. He always let them shine. The other thing is that he was a big-time drug addict and alcoholic until 1986 when he quit all that shit. He lived the rest of his life clean and sober. You gotta check out: **Texas Flood at El Macambo** **Voodoo Child at Starwood Theater in Nashville**

The tricks are his homage to Hendrix, whom he idolized growing up. And if you want to see hard, heavy & fast like you were expecting, react to his "Voodoo Child" live in Austin 1989 (specifically that one). And for the sheer fun of it do "Little Sister" from the same show (& also to see how he handled little problems like a broken string). More Stevie Ray & I'm hanging around.

@@oldschoolhip-hopheadriorea9178 Thank you! Looking forward to it & please make sure both are the 1989 Austin performance (there's also '83 but '89 is much better). Thanks again.

Stevie went into rehab in the fall of 1986 at the same time as bassist Tommy Shannon also his best friend. He helped many people come into sobriety and he is a humble gentle soul off stage and a fierce performer on stage. Stevie was a blues guitarist and then other genres second. Love his musicianship but love the man more. The second guitar, the white one he worked on with his friend Charley Wirz and named this guitar Charley. His beat up one was called Number One.

One olders brother said in a reaction video with his nephew, Stevie played in Juke Joints and he could "walk the bar", never missed a note, never spilled anybody's drink. Great reaction but from Harlem only in spirit, his blues is definitely from Texas.

An Austin band of college age kids recruited Stevie to play lead on their first demo AT 14!!! Their rhythm guitarist,who acted in several movies,said it was the first day anyone in the room,including the 7 or 8 director, sound techs,etc had ever seen GENIUS!

At this point,Stevie was damn near having a nervous breakdown! He said,when he was down the one thing he could do to escape was get on stage & play that BIG SOUND of his!

You nail it with the James Brown comment. SRV mastered his craft! He could hear it all. Eric Clapton said it best.. SRV never gave a thought what to play, He just always knew what to do.

Stevie is the master of feedback. Most of those parts with just the left hand work was done with feedback, from the amp. This was inspired by Jimmy Hendrix, one of Stevie's inspirations.

🐐 🎸 =SRV! Never has been one even close !

Stevie Ray played Blues, Rock, Jazz and Texas Boogie. You shouldn't disparage this song or his music until you have watched and heard it all. Watch him do Texas Flood at El Mocambo. Watch him do Voodoo Child and Little Wing. Watch him do Look at Little Sister in Austin TX. Then watch the other version with Jeff Healey. Then watch Pride and Joy, Tin Pan Alley. The lists go on and on. Also, he never played a song the same way twice. He freestyled everything and never had a show where he had a Playlist for a set. They'd just go on stage and play whatever Stevie Ray started with. All of the " I wasn't expecting this sound. I thought he was a guitar player ", man, just listen to more of his catalog, and then we'll talk. Stevie Ray wasn't showing off or bragging with his technique. It ain't fucking bragging if you can back it up. Stevie Ray could back that shit up.

The king of feedback!

Absolute 🔥

One of the greatest solos to ever grace the world. Nope, not Harlem, but my hometown. Dallas

IHe was FROM DALLAS TEXAS.. AND DIED IN A HELICOPTER CRASH IN 1990.. THIS MAN IS PLAYING FOR GOD NOW!!!

B.B. King used to say "You have to be black twice to play the blues, but I never noticed with Stevie!" The talk he had was impromptu, this song has stuck with me ever since I saw it live when I was 15....

The crowd was not going crazy because they were mesmerized.

When he plays Voodoo Child in Nashville Live, he plays Jimi behind his back and with his eyes closed. That's when I gave SRV the top spot. So technical and clean.

SRV is the Larry Bird of Rhythm and Blues music

He was so talented. We were lucky to have him and ripped off to lose him.

Great review! 😎

Texas Flood at El Mocambo will blow your mind!

He's from a place just as bad as Harlem. He grew up in Oak Cliff tx. I can throw a rock and hit it from where I'm sitting. SRV is the GOAT

Stevie was from Texas and was self taught Just by listening to records of many great blues performers and other performers who he idolized one was Jimi Hendrix as well as his older brother who had a band of his own his name is Jimmy Vaughan next to some of the greatest blues singers and guitarists out there! First few years of his career he was constantly hi he used to mix cocaine in with his whiskey and then one night he nearly died he decided to get sober and from 1986 up until his death in 1990 he was completely clean and sober! SRV was only 35 years old when he was killed in a helicopter crash after leaving a show in Aug 1990! RIP SRV

Stevie didn't play music, Stevie was music. When you look in the dictionary for how they guitar sings it has a picture Stevie Ray Vaughan.

He changed his guitar early in the song cause he broke a string. Check out a true Blues song of SRV with Johnny Copeland Tin pan Alley or just for kicks his “soundcheck” video easily found. One other thing SRV gave you is that level of perfection every song for the entire concert. I've watched pretty much every show he's done and he doesn't miss a note.

Stevie was very much a people person. Color, gender, nothing like that mattered to him. He just simply loved people. When he died, questions were asked why?? Simple enough, the man upstairs needed lessons and a front row seat

I know you said you are not a fan of the blues but I left you a link below to JJ Grey and Mofro and the song is Lochloosa , since you liked SRV you might this and I sub.

Theres honestly no critique that anyone, anywhere, can give to SRV.

Good to see how much you like Stevie but Why does it have to be a white or black thing? Being soulful does not belong to any certain race

Not classic rock~ blues. He was touring with Eric Clapton the night he was killed in helicopter crash, minutes after take off when it didn't clear a pecan tree... tragic RIP Stevie hope you know you have a whole new league of fans

He's not Rock He's Blues.

Hes from TEXAS!

You MISSED IT, they didn't fix SRVs mic, they CHANGED OUT HIS GUITAR bc he broke a string! Changed it out while he's playing and he never missed a stroke!!! That's why he's messing with it for a second. HA!

Dude is a "showman" with his skills. We need more showman in live concerts these days. There are plenty of great guitar players but add in some more showmanship. Lots of greats concerts, but where are the great show's within those concerts?

He lost his tooth when playing with his teeth, you can see him looking around for it

He changed guitars at the first.

Lol. And lost his tooth playing it.

You must have never been to Alabama Mississippi Louisiana,Memphis Tennessee or Texas and experienced true blues.

At the beginning, he switched guitars. I think he broke a string when he tuned it

Stevie is in a class of his own... you talking about his skin color...dude it don't matter....soul is soul....black people didn't invent soul, we all got one! its a human thang, not a black thang bro!
