No, this is true. On this song, he pays tribute to three of his guitar heroes: Jimi, Albert King, and Charley Christian. Covering Little wing overall and the wah-wah heavy section is the tribute to Jimi, the more aggressive-bendy section is the tribute to Albert King (search for videos of Stevie playing with Albert King), and the quieter, jazzier section is his tribute to Charley Christian.

@@williambooth8728 Fair enough if you want to think of it that way, but in general I believe the phrase "the old blues players" usually references people like Son House, Sleepy John Estes, or Mississippi John Hurt. The 'real' "old blues players" from the 1930's.

SRV was a once in a lifetime guitarist. There’s many other great guitarists but SRV was in a different league of playing. The thing that makes me feel sad about his death is that he had gotten clean and sober and was coming into his own with more people recognizing his music. I often wonder how great he would have become if he hadn’t died. RIP SRV

This is a cover of a Jimi Hendrix song. Stevie was a HUGE fan of Jimi as am I. Jimi was before my time but I saw Stevie play live and it was life changing he was that amazing. Little Wing was recorded by Jimi with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchel in about 20 min of studio time left. Chas Chandler was his manager who was in the band the Animals and Eddie Kramer was the producer. Stevie bought the very same year and type of guitar Jimi played, same amp, same peddles, even the same patch cord. Stevie was right handed so even played the same guitar as Jimi who was left handed but could not afford a left handed guitar so played a right handed guitar upside down. Both these men are gods of rock/blues music. If there is an afterlife hope they are jamming together. That would be heaven.

This is such a right on comment. A few more totally random comments: SRV is wow. Hendrix is wow. I once saw a comment (jokingly) by Jeff Beck, stating that he wanted to quit playing once he heard Stevie. There are actually words to Little Wing. And ... when I was growing up, I once went to a music venue...pretty small, maybe about 50 or so capacity. George Thorogood was playing. In the audience was Stevie. Thorogood saw him, called him up on stage and handed him a spare guitar ... and they jammed for a song. IT WAS F'IN FANTASTIC.

The part in Little Wing where it sounds like the guitar tone is melting... Jimi was a genius at taking technology and his hands and making guitar sound like so many different things that were not guitar

Little Wing (by Jimi Hendrix originally) does indeed have lyrics, but there aren't many of them: Well she's walking, through the clouds With a circus mind that's running wild Butterflies and zebras And moonbeams And-a fairytales That's all she ever thinks about Riding with the wind When I'm sad, she comes to me With a thousand smiles she gives to me free It's alright, it's alright, she says it's alright Take anything you want from me Anything...

He didn't learn it, he was born with it.

Steve Ray played improv style on every song. He said he never learned to read sheet music so he compensated by playing from his soul.

Britt, it's been a minute since you reacted to Stevie Ray's version of Hendrix' "Little Wing", but all I can say to you is 'it's Stevie Ray '!!! Whenever you, should I say if you dive into more of SRV and I think you will , you will understand why I just commented it's Stevie Ray. That's all one needs to say!!! Also I say thank you Stevie Ray Vaughan for gracing us with music inspiration ,memories and history as you did in your entirety too short life. We love you and miss your awe inspiring work, all of it! R.I.P. ❤😂 Thank you Britt for your appreciation of a true legend!

The GOAT.

There will never be another SRV.

The GOAT…period.

Stevie is one of the best musicians I’ve ever heard with the resolutions to his phrasings/ideas. He brings everything together like a master musician. And that’s what you’re hearing with the drums. It’s resolving the build up. It’s fantastic It’s a whammy bar.

SRV was one of a kind. Even many of the people he looked up to once they played with him knew he was special., but like so many greats taken away way to soon.

He's singing with the guitar. Have you ever noticed he is almost never looking at the guitar. It's an extension of his physicality. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. Oh, most of us believe he IS the G.O.A.T.

SRV IS the GOAT. When Stevie played it was like he and the guitar became one and this awesome music was the result

yes you are correct he was one of the best he was in a zone all by himself

One of if not the best guitar players ever.

Stevie freestyles every time he plays he never plays a song the same he always changes something it may something small but he changes something

The Goat

A blues guitar Masterclass. My fav SRV performance. Six variations on a theme. Love watching his hands. So supple and relaxed. Often you can see a lot of tension in a guitar players hands, expecially when playing fast. Lovely, lovely performance.

Best Cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing!" Ever!

You are correct, in my opinion, and that of many, many others, SRV is #1 on a very long list of the best of all time on the guitar. There are lots of other contenders (check out blind Jeff Healy, he will blow your mind) but SRV is the best there ever was, or likely will ever be.

As a lifelong, and I'm old, SRV fan I must say that I really enjoy your reactions to "My music" It is nice to see a new generation relish in what is truly greatness, no matter when it happened. Just like when I was a young child, laying on shag carpet, with headphones plugged into a console stereo. My mother was the driving force, I had it all, from the Beatles, Barry Manilow, Dio, Led Zep, Frank Sinatra, Van Halen, Queen, Musicals (my fave is A Chorus Line), Rock operas, Jimmy Buffett, Waylon & Willie, I could go on and on. Bottom line, I, like others obviously, enjoy watching you enjoy the beauty of music - in all forms. Thank you Britt, you are a good one.

I recently had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists from playing guitar and piano, and I haven't been able to play for the last two years because of it. SRV is my favorite guitarist and IMHO the greatest ever, I have played guitar professionally for almost 40 years, and on my best day when I can play several of his songs, I still am nowhere close to him.

At our age, we play for ourselves more than anyone. The only time I play out now is when I need a date for something. I'll just sit in for a few songs and it's the easiest way to pick up younger and more attractive women. After all, isn't that why in some part picked the guitar up in first place?

Hang in there!

This is a very rare recording of Little Wing and is probably my favorite of them all. Glad you reacted to this one!

Simply the best!

Any time it rains, I either play "the Sky is Crying" or "Little Wing". Just calms the soul

Stevie Ray Vaughan- Life Without You- 9/ 21/ 85- Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ is very good also ( breaks a string, loses a tooth and has a very good message during the performance)

I love the part where he looks up and laughs. He actually misses the beat because he got lost doing that crazy run but just jumped right back into it and laughed about it. One of the very few times I've ever seen him mess up and even that was done with swag.

SRV is definitely top tier guitarists of all time, and he passed away young. I would love to see what else he could have done! Please check out more.

When I saw Stevie live it was like he was channeling the music from somewhere beyond! R.I.P. Stevie thanks for the gifts you left us.❤

Stevie was simply the best blues guitarist of his generation, and one of the best to ever pick up the instrument. The blues players before him (BB King, Buddy Guy, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Bo Diddley) considered Stevie to be one of the greats. He never played a song the same way twice if he could help it, and on a 12-bar blues scale, rarely repeated a musical phrase. When i need something to pick me up, i (and my neighbors) listen to Stevie Ray.

Stevie had the proper swagger. White dudes honestly look funny as hell playing blues music and always have. SRV didn't have that issue

I believe he is the GOAT........plays with eyes closed....FEELS the instrument.....NEVER plays the same song twice......ALL of the blues Greats...agree........channeled from another place. Really I lean towards Rock guitar, but SRV , is the only guitar player pic I have hanging in my living room.

That bass was Tommy Shannon. Drummer is Chris Layton. Otherwise known as Double Trouble.

He is singing . From the very depth of his soul.

SRV the master of the Texas Blues!

I mean this damn near moves me to tears. SRV evokes an emotion out of the guitar that really was legendary. Imagine doing Jimi Hendrix one up by not singing any lyrics and it's every bit as if not more "Little Wing" than the original. Sheeeesh.

He is THE greatest of all time…GOAT!

I have no problem with saying that Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. No question.

There are countless guitarists i admire, but only four leave me SPEECHLESS: Jimi Hendrix, Edward Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Greatest thing ever come out Texas

Yer not wrong. He is one of the GOATs.

Oh great pick!!! SRV is one of the GOATS!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. He was amazing on the guitar!! I would recommend reacting to Pride and Joy....he does sing in that one!!! Can't wait til you see him play behind his head, and with his teeth! 😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hendrix then Stevie! Best to ever pick up a guitar. Stevie covering Hendrix is magic!!

Jimmi and Albert laid the path. Stevie soared above it.

SRV is one of the few celebs whose death made me cry ✌

Jimmy would be so proud

I saw Stevie on his very first tour at my college. Front row! It was like standing in the eye of a hurricane!!!

Take care over there! Much support from WA, USA.

The reason he stepped towards the mic the first time was to play a wah wah (or Cry Baby) pedal. You control the timbra of the guitar signal creating a sound as if the guitar is crying. The stick thing is called a tremolo bar (or whammy bar) it tightens (pull back) or loosens (Push down) the strings.

Stevie was the coolest mother F-er on the planet

This song along with Riviera Paradise and Lenny are to be played at my funeral as the people are coming in and walking out of my service.

SRV is the greatest. You Must Hear his vocals!!!

To answer the carpal tunnel question, that's one of many injuries and things that don't get spoken about enough. Every instrument damages you. Wrecks your hands, fingers, forearms, shoulders, back, neck. Add in drums and you'll trash your knees too. Musicians are walking injuries. Sacrifice the body for the music. Very common.

I love this reaction! ❤❤ You described Stevie Ray like you had been listening to him for years. Your reaction is spot on awesome! I subscribed to you because of this video. I have been listening to Stevie Ray since I was very little. I was raised on his music and to me there is nobody and never will be like Stevie Ray Vaughan. ❤❤ Love it. My home state is also his. I am proud of that but I love the other state I live in. Lol-

Stevie was from another world

Stevie was the extension of Jimi.. nothing more nothing less.. the man can be made but the soul can only be..ty you for open souls and hearts earned..love is a gain with no fee

You’re not wrong about the GOAT comment. If you ever watched one of his concerts on tv you’d know for sure. Literally exhausting

Saw him play this and Third Stone from the Sun at Red Rocks. Third Stone was truly an out of the body experience. SRV played and then then the other musicians from that night-Bobby Blue Bland, Albert King, and BB King came out and played with him. Without question, the single best total show I have ever seen.

7:47 😂 Loving the faces! Love the reaction keep it up 😎👍

Hey Britt. Had to revisit this reaction. Whe Stevie toured with Jeff Beck back in 1989. I was slated to work security for their show. Couldn't work it. Had to sit that one out and enjoy the show! The crowd didn't understand how I got to watch the show from the side of the stage by myself. Perks of the job. Nice reaction. I think you're getting Stevie's vibe!

The most spot-on comment I ever read about reacting to Stevie Ray Vaughan went something like this... "My wife and I watched an SRV performance. Afterward she said, "Stevie Ray Vaughan makes my ovaries quiver." I thought that captured it perfectly! Since you've seen two songs from this 1983 show at the El Mocambo, you might want to check out mind-blowing performances from the 1989 Austin City Limits show. Stevie was clean and sober and looking great! My favorites from that show are Voodoo Child, Riviera Paradise (another instrumental), Cold Shot, Couldn't Stand the Weather, Crossfire, Tightrope, Look at Little Sister (smoothest guitar switchout ever when a string breaks), and Mary Had a Little Lamb (yes, it's the nursery rhyme and you should see what Stevie does with it for sure). By that time an amazing keyboard player (Reese Wynans) joined Double Trouble along with drummer, Chris Layton, and bassist, Tommy Shannon. Another great pick is the live performance of Tin Pan Alley at the Montreux Jazz Festival where Stevie plays with one of his idols, Johnny Copeland. I think you'd love his vocal delivery on that one! Thanks for the joy of your reactions!❤

Arguably one of the Greatest Guitarists *_OF ALL TIME !!!!!_* A true student of the _BLUES_ who became the Professor !!!!! RIP, Stevie

Yup, no words!

The song will give you Goosebumps. 🤘✌️🇺🇸

Stevie was one of the greatest. He played blues with BB King Among other great Blues Artists.

Best thing he ever did

This was recorded at the El Macambo in Toronto, Canada in 1983

BTW, Sting from the band The Police did a cover of this song…very different feel, but still a great song…

I remember the exact moment i heard of his death...where I was sitting, the feeling of such loss...I was soo lucky to see him on '83 with Robin Trower, where the SRV bug bit be hard. That followed with festivals in Detroit, Milwaukee, Berkeley and then in Berlin. I couldn't listen to his music for over a year after he died, and I still miss him.

Britt you nailed it Stevie is the Goat hands down

She knows soul. Very much so.

Yes, arthurites can develop in the fingers and hands as you grow older. The Bass is played by Tommy Shannon, drums by Chris Layton, both great artists!!

I got carpal tunnel in both my hands from playing guitar all my life. I’m sure if Stevie lived long enough he would have had it as well. He is improvising as he’s going. It’s hard to constantly come up with ideas and this is what made him great.

Stevie is everything you said he was and a bit more! He is definitely the instrument for sure!

They say when he played he was a portal for all the greats before him to play through. He was the last true MOJO! He had the magic hand.

When Stevie sings it's to give his guitar a break! 🤣

Just a prodigy. Pours himself into his guitar, Stevie is always an amazing experience, much like Jimi Hendrix, who was one of his favorites. SRV also has one of the best stank faces ever. Much like Eric Clapton and Chris Stapleton, SRV wasn't really confident about his singing ability. But he KNEW he could make a guitar sing! The rhythm section in this song needs to be called out too - lays an excellent groove for him to work on top of.

He IS the Greatest Guitar of ALL TIME. ❤ I SHOULD KNOW I'M STEVIE'S LITTLE SISTER.❤

The guitar was a part of his body and soul and no one will ever compete.

I got to see the guitar on temporary display at the rock and roll hall of fame. A relevant and famous singer today that all of you would know, has even said if that guitar was on sale somebody would have to outbid me for it because he said I would love to have it. Prince always said that guitar is priceless. He said you really couldn’t put a price on it. He had so many guitars, but that was Old Faithful.

THE GOAT!!! You are right about him not being a normal player, that mans hands are legendary.
