You will never hear surf music again.

Jimi wouldn’t look at his guitar. Stevie can’t stop.

” Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, ladies and gentlemen! Great stuff! Now...next up we got...huh? They left? Oh well, I would’ve too. Good night folks!”

I first saw Srevie in the summer of '83. I was fifth row, center. He played this for twenty minutes -- only the first few did he have his guitar around his neck. He leaned it against the two Vibro-Verbs and the two Super Reverbs and played above the nut, the springs in the body -- all the while pumping the vibrato arm. At one point, he flipped the stand-bys on and off -- and he came up with gunfire, I kid you not. I had read that Jimi would do that but when Stevie did it I was floored. Pick up switch in the middle, tone rolled off -- for the shaking and summer-saulting. Then, quite a bit of standing on the body, pulling up on the neck and vibrato arm and letting go -- bam!! Bam! He played the final theme fretting hand only, right arm over his eyes, throwing the guitar up and letting it slide down his left hand, to move positions. Unbelievable. Then, he attached the strap -- checked his tuning -- his B string was out a half percent. THAT might just be the most MIND-BLOWING of ALL!!!! Blessings

@@donaldthescotishtwin if not the specific show he is referring to I'm sure you can find footage of Stevie doing every bit of what's described. He would hold his start by just the tremolo arm, with the guitar off the strap and just dribble the body all over the stage using the trem bar for a handle. The sliding as he catches it trick I've seen less footage of but I've seen it. So if that's what you're asking, as in, is there evidence of this even being feasible... Yes. Absolutely. Whether that specific night that the OP described was filmed, sadly, is hard to say though.

No hero worshipping here. When it comes to music-or any art form for that matter- what's important to me is the way it makes you FEEL. Sure there are more technically accurate and precise guitar players out there than Hendrix... but you'll be hard put to find an artist that defines a generation, or an album that puts your mind in another realm as well as Hendrix did. And I mean a very specific time and place that his music takes you to. As for SRV... he kind of emulated Hendrix's playing. There's no question that SRV idolized Henrdrix but what he did with his music warrants its own merit. Like any great artist, you don't need to be told who the artist is when you see his work. Having said that, has it occurred to you that perhaps someone can have a very personal connection to a musician? Let's not confuse that with worship. And for the record, I will do now what no man on the internet has ever done--apologize for being crude. Sorry I told you to eat shit.

Controlled Jimmy was just so much more spontaneous. Sometimes he didn't even know where he was going and he didn't care. That's one of the reasons.He's a genius. He failed many times but kept striving forward. He could care less if he failed.Cause he's gonna keep doing more and more. Jimmy was a creative genius and there's many guitar.Players that play his music and some very well like stevie But they don't have his creativity. Jimmy was an inventor. Play the other people songs but did it his way. Stevie Ray is superb but I think he tries to play too much like hendrix

I told him how much I loved Jimi Hendrix and practiced every day. So he asked if I wanted to go on his bus and show him what i got. LOL. Went in and played Purple Haze and Hey Joe. The solo for Hey Joe he played was simply AMAZING. I thanked him like one million times, got everybody's autograph, and reluctantly went home. LOL

He was a once in 100 year talent right up there with Hendrix. What I love about his style is that he was NOT with the times. He played old school blues but did it as good as anyone. One secret to his sound was using extremely thick strings, he sounds completely different than anyone.
