SRV has the best guitarist quote ever "There’s only one Jimi Hendrix and there’ll never be another one. I just do my best… to carry his music on" Humble greatness
I'm sorry, but SRV was greater.
From Dallas Texas.
Gotta agree with him. SRV was great but Hendrix traveled on divine inspiration. He wrote this incredible piece.
Yeah to be honest I like SRV better. I love Hendrix and respect the HELL out of the things he did with a guitar but SRV had a cleaner, more coherent sound. When Hendrix was hammering it at top speed things could feel a little too chaotic, a little too sloppy. You never really get that with SRV, even at max tempos he still sounds fully in control of what he's doing.
Stevie Ray was a GREAT blues man and did emulate Hendrix's syle and put more coherent structure on it. But Stevie Ray never wrote music and lyrics,l or played and produced albums like Are You Experienced and Axis. And if you watch Hendrix play Hey Joe, Like a Rolling Stone and Wild Thing at Monterey, then listen to his Little Wing, Red House and Johnny B. Good on Hendrix in the West, and Machine Gun at Filmore East, remember that in all of that he was the driving creative force. Steve's homage, as great as it may have been, was ultimately a tribute to Hendrix' genius.
Knew Stevie Ray for 10 years before and after he made it big, was always the same humble guy, sadly he died on my birthday, left a big hole in my heart
SRV - Riviera Paradise. The smoothest song ever performed. It has been said it was his gift to mankind.
My absolute favorite! The whole band shines their stellar selves on that one.
One more vote for Rivera Paradise... terrific!
I’m with all y’all on this! Riviera Paradise is one of the greatest pieces of music ever created.
I agree too.
This one right HERE 100%
GOAT.... is spelled Stevie Ray Vaughn !!!
Period... Nuff said !!!
SRV does a beautiful job of making this sound very close to Jimi's version. No one else covers Jimi as well as SRV. I think in order to appreciate SRV fully, you have to explore his musical heroes and influences. This song has lyrics and Jimi sings them beautifully.
Nobody else can cover Hendrix and not sound underwhelming. SRV is a legend.
SRV did Hendrix better than Hendrix did Hendrix 😏
@@SuperFlowback we'll agree to disagree... love them both, but prefer Hendrix performing the music he created.
Ever seen Gary Moore's tribute to Jimi, "Red House?" ua-cam.com/video/pvu7Y91xUKM/v-deo.html
I consider it more of an interpretation than a cover. Both versions are great.
For those of us who idolized this man as an artist, it's hard to explain the devastating feeling on the day we heard the news. Many thanks to good folks like yourselves who are doing so much to keep this man's legacy alive; he'll live on forever thanks to people like you!
I was working for an AM/FM radio combo in the Tampa Bay Market. I came in one morning, read that AP wire copy report, and my soul crumpled like an Olde English 800 Malt Liquor can back in college. He'd gotten sober, fallen in love, made that album with his brother, Jimmy, and the sky seemed the limit. smh Who knows what avenues he could've explored next? Great comment.
Well said.....
I was driving a delivery van during summer break in Dallas, sitting in traffic, when it came over the radio that he was gone. I'll never forget it.
i wasnt even born when he died man, i still hate it that i will never be able to see my idol play, i started playing when i was 12, got introduced to him when i was 8 or 9. goddamn man why was i born in 99
@@messi5601 As many people have mentioned, he didn't just play music. The music seemed to flow through him and out of his guitar. He was a special artist indeed!
Stevie's guitar was an extention of his soul, you just know he was feeling every note.
👊🏼 Nailed it!!
@HardNews TV14 I have been begging for this one Life Without You live from The Capitol Theater ever since SRV first made appearance on the Rob Squad Reactions!!!❤️❤️❤️
Very well said and quite correct. The same is true of Jimi, of course. There is an interview where Chas Chandler tells about Jimi having a guitar around his neck literally all day long. Jimi would play whilst in the bathroom "because he liked the echo. It was no accident that he was that good."
If you've not ever heard it, SRV's Riviera Paradise is absolute chill vibe. And just as a side note, the song is about 10 minutes long and they recorded it on the first take. Pure masterpiece.
Hearing Amber saying "you have to WATCH him play", made me think of this- long but cool story- I was at SRV's last show at Alpine Valley. As he was playing his encore- "Voodoo Chile"- my wife was sitting on the lawn watching on the jumbotron. I told her- "Stand up and watch this- you will never see anything like this ever again" Little did I know at the time it would be the last song he ever played with his band Double Trouble". I cried real tears the next morning when I heard the news, hell, I'm tearing up now.
Thanks for that story bro. SRV!
“Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and Zebras
And Moonbeams and fairy tales
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, she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything
Fly on little wing”
Jimi’s lyrics will never get enough credit because he was such a guitar god.
I'm inclined to agree. "The Wind Cries Mary" is a beautiful lyric as well.
I first heard Jimi’s version as a teen (a long ass time ago). Reading the lyrics, I can hear him playing it in my mind. “Still Raining, Still Dreaming” studio version was beautiful too!
@@gregwatson3300 I love that one. That’s a good example of a song that could stand alone as a great poem.
My favorite lyricist is Bob Dylan but some Hendrix songs are right up there for me.
100% ! Always have believed that about his lyricism. How about... Bold As Love:
[Verse 1]
Anger, he smiles towering
In shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown
Sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters
Taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies
Lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on
[Verse 2]
My red is so confident he flashes
Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go around
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact, I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine
Keeps holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
@@gsparkman Heck ya! The word turquoise sounded so awkward to me but made me listen more closely to the rest of the song.
I saw SRV open for The Who. He slayed. I've never seen anything like it. That man flipped his guitar around his back and kept playing without missing a beat. The audience went bananas! It was epic. HE was epic.
Jimi’s is the original and it is pure greatness, and Stevie does it justice each and every time. You can tell SRV revered Hendrix and all his versions pay homage to that greatness. Then he just makes it his own. His guitar literally sings. Like you can almost hear it talking. So good!🔥🤙
Well said!!
YES - SRV OWNS THIS performance. It is all him.
@David Tremaine So true. I was lucky enough to see him front row-center at The Greek about a year before he died. He opened for BB King! 😳 What a show! Even more fortunate to talk to him afterward. Such a good dude. Sat outside his tour bus for like 20 minutes just talking to SRV! And he was genuinely interested in you and your life. He asked more questions than he got. Very, very special man.🤙
It's one of the most simple songs Jimi ever wrote...until you try to play it. It's not just sped-up blues riffs. It's something pure and perfect, but deceivingly easy-sounding, written in the Key of Genius.. I like that Stevie Ray played a lot of Jimi's riffs and runs, but he mainly played his own lines that meshed seamlessly. "Little Wing" was a perfect fit for Jimi's "Axis: Bold as Love" album, which just didn't sound like anything else he'd released yet. He showed he could be a volume and feedback monster, but inside him was the melodic heart of an Angel.
@@Studio44B So dead on! Love the “written in the Key of Genius”!
Stevie's playing can make me cry... I feel the same way about Stevie.... he's bigger than life and I'm hypnotized when I hear him.....
feel the same
Jimi wrote this and it was beautiful - but Stevie made it perfect. The studio take on this is 6 minutes and 49 seconds of sheer joy. You guys are making day like you always do - peace and love from the Great White North!
SRV did a good cover but only Jimi's is perfect.
Lets not forget, NOBODY played guitar this way until HENDRIX brought it from his own mind and this version is missing the lyrics
@@SIXX2772 I was bummed this didn't have the lyrics bc I think Amber would've loved them.
@@SIXX2772 We'll have to agree to disagree there 😃
Listen to the concrete blonde cover of this song. Beautiful
"When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do." - Jimi Hendrix. SRV: "Hold my beer..."
I wish I could upvote this comment over and over.
I had a former colleague who as a late teen immigrated to Canada from Germany without a pot to piss in. It was in the 1980's and he went AWOL on his mandatory military service in Germany. On route he flew from Germany to NY City with just a couple hundred bucks in his pocket. Wandering the streets of NY he happened upon a little bar & went inside. There was SRV paying for a relatively small number of patrons. My colleague had never heard of SRV and it seemed to him that nobody else there knew him either. He spent his first afternoon in North America getting drunk listening to SRV! How awesome that must have been!
SRV reminds of great times with my sister and brother. Miss them everyday.
This live version is wild, but the studio version is immaculate and divine. Well worth many listens.
SRV’s version of “Little Wing” is one of the best in my opinion. An absolute guitar Rock god! 🎸
In completely agree with ya. This version is so rad. I love it so much. He plays it longer and it sounds so awesome. I could listen to this over and over. Legal, you have awesome taste in music !!!🙂🎸🤟💕🍺
Jimi Hendrix wrote this song about his guardian Angel. But you've got to hear the original. Jimi Hendrix,on Axis Bold As Love.
My favorite Hendrix song and albums, both. Hendrix played rock guitar like nobody had ever imagined it could be played, then he shows of this melodic side. It's like SRV with the jaw-dropping "Scuttle-Buttin'" opening to his second album. Like, "how the hell fast can anybody play like that?" Then he could turn on a dime and pull this out. I hope there's a heaven, and I can see them jam together. I can't even imagine....
One version that is worth to listen to is by Derek and the Dominos.
Stevie and the guitar become one beautiful sound
Great song! I hope at some point you do "The House is Rockin', Don't Bother Knockin'". It's a blast. I also hope you'll check out Joe Satriani. That man shreds on an SRV level. He is for me what Stevie is for you. "Flying in a Blue Dream" and "One Big Rush" would be great places to start.
I always liked Satriani's song The Phone Call too. Classic burn song, and a fun romp.
Yea! His song “Within you without you”!
Satriani is great! I feel that his roots are more jazz and SRV is more blues.
My suggestion for Joe Satriani,-(Always with me Always with you).
@@joshsmith302 That's a great song, but as an introduction, it may be a bit slow. I might suggested that for a third or fourth song for them. The last two minutes of "Time" may be some of the best guitar I've ever heard.
There are only a few pieces of music that bring tears to my eyes… Stevie’s version of Little Wing is one of them! The studio version is sublime.
Tells a story without words……
Stevie doesn't just cover Jimi, he salutes him, as only SRV can. So good!
True virtuoso musicians demand that level of attention...mindboggling innovations speak there own truth...
Amber, I'm glad you said it! At the beginning, when you guys had your eyes closed, I was screaming NOOOO! Normally, I would recommend listening to great music with your eyes closed, letting the music take you. But SRV is the exception! You HAVE to watch and see this man perform his magic!
YES!!!!! Agreed!
My favorite song of SRV is Voodoo Child. But anything he got a hold of was magic pure and simple mind boggling pure gifted talent
Yes!!! Watching him just adds to the pure joy you have while listening to him. You can see the relationship he has with his guitar. Closing your eyes makes you miss the love between him and his guitar ❤️
the soul in his hands
Hey guys, love your reactions. You're right brother, Stevie was the best. There may be others who could play faster or more technically, but nobody is more in tune with their guitar than Stevie. You watch him play and, for the majority of the time, his eyes are closed or he's looking around at the crowd. He could absolutely make that guitar sing. I think he could make it bark like a dog if he wanted to. The world is a sadder place with Stevie not in it. God bless you guys and your family. See you soon.
What a gift the man had. It is so intricate and intense, and it can still put you in a trance, a peaceful place. How does that even work. I'm so happy you guys found this music. I still remember the day and moment when I heard he was gone. Such a loss.
Just had another thought; like Boston on headphones, on headphones in a dark room, SRV is a sonic security blanket.
This was from a show he did at a place called the El Macambo in Toronto in 1983. If you look around, you can find the DVD of the whole show which is mind-blowing. Anyone who saw that show got to witness one of the best of all time. RIP SRV.
SRV has another BEAUTIFUL one called 'Riviera Paradise' that is so, so lovely. I mean, it's a lay-back-and-let-it-warm-you vibe. That song is a mainstay in my chill playlist. 💕💕💕
Excellent choice!
@@DavidKing-ut9wr 👍❤️
Riviera Paradise is a song/ video live from Austin, Texas is one song that I continuously keep requesting for new reactors that are discovering SRV. I always describe this particular song/ performance as a “grown up song” by him. He just plays this unlike his usual highly entertaining and fun playing and just mesmerises you. I hope they put this one on their channel. I’d be very interested to see their reactions.
@@yotaman2112 Word! I can imagine him just sitting back in a chair by a fire pit playing it. It’s seems like a personal song to me. I just love it. ❤️
I was going to suggest the same. His keyboard man on this is the great Reese Wynans who now plays with Joe Bonnamassa. Wynan's keyboard solo on Riviera Paradise is as mesmerizing as SRV's guitar.
That's how you make a guitar sing! One of the all-time greatest guitarists no matter what style you listen to. Love the reactions guys!
One of my absolute favorite songs. Fits any mood and can go on repeat for infinity. I love seeing people discover his greatness.
For yourselves you need to watch his little wing performance live in Nashville this genius I have no other words for it plays that guitar behind his back un.....believable
Seeing Stevie Ray in person was truly an experience.
If you watch, he is playing the guitar, playing the tremolo bar, constantly adjusting the tone and volume of the guitar, and playing the wah wah with his foot.
Chills up my spine, over my back, my sides, my shoulders, every single time I listen to this man play. No other guitarist or musician does this to me at that level.
SRV is a perfect mix of having an edge and being tender with his guitar. He also has an endless, unique and other worldly guitar solos.
SRV- Riviera Paradise!!!!!
SRV was a Soul Man, he played, and revealed his Soul, through his craft!!!
Jay, Amber, your awe and appreciation drew tears from this forever SRV Fan.
I was somewhere in the middle east, when I received word of his passing,...
As, you can guess that was traumatic, on top of what I was experiencing as a 21 year old young man.
God bless you Jay, Amber, and your Beautiful Family.
Jay, you got Barry, Amber, you got Janis, I feel you all on that, SRV was my Boy!!!
he had to glue his finger tips back on 🤯 that’s 26 RIP of love for ya
I miss SRV, a true guitar legend. You can see how much he feels what he's playing, truly amazing
Greatness lasts forever!
Never saw SRV in concert but was fortunate to see Jimi play this live.
Saw him 3 times - great. And yes, he played LOUD...like Jimi did. lol. Stevie didn't do as much "noise/feedback" stuff as Hendrix did live, which I was totally ok with : )
I saw SRV a few times, and the music was just coming in from the stratosphere, through his heart and soul to the guitar strings. It was magic.
SRV is the "functional definition" of a perfect musician. If you're chilling and playing SRV in your backyard after midnight on a weekday, you expect your neighbors to open their windows, lean out, and shout-
"HEY, what are you thinking, I can't hear it, turn that UP!"
To ME the greatest guitarist of all time. Dude put the blues into that guitar. Smooth sound and he loved what he did EFFORTLESSLY
SRV was my husband’s and mine all time favorite guitarist! His voice was great too, he felt everything and it came out through his music. So glad he got the demon off his back in rehab. Was so sad when he left us too soon, may he rest in peace! Keep up the good work both you and Amber do on your channel!
With the technology that is available for guitars today who knows what type of guitar greatness SRV would've made
Props to SRV for being a guitar virtuoso! Props to Hendrix for creating the beautiful piece of music.
I saw SRV at Seattle festival when Stevie opened for Ray Charles and it cost us $7.50. Ray Charles was dancing in the wings listening to Stevie. We were stunned at his talent! I would have paid $1,000 to see him again! Had tickets to his upcoming tour but tragically he past at age 34. RIP SWEET SRV ❤️
There are two things:
1)
Life before Stevie Ray
and
2) Life AFTER Stevie Ray.
Nothing is ever the same AFTER hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan. 🥰
The greatest guitarist ever. When I found out about him way back in the 80's, people said seeing him was a 'spiritual experience.' After I saw him, I understood. Mind was blown forever. Grateful I got to see him. Actually met him backstage after. He was a humble, quiet gentleman. Unforgettable night.
SRV can Make that guitar wail or make it sound like the most sweetest note touched by angels.
THE MOST CHILLED SRV SONG OUT THERE IS RIVIERA PARADISE. HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE REACTION ON THIS SONG. HOPING YOUR THE 1ST
SOONER FANS🔥💯
Most would consider it a “throw away” song but for some reason it is honestly one of my favorites, SRV “ Mary Had a Little Lamb”. VIBE!
SRV is my favorite all time artist. I listen to him every day. Its so nice to see young people appreciating great music!! If you haven't yet please react to SRV Life Without You..live at Capital Theatre. One of my favorite performances. GOAT!
Randy Hansen is regarded by Family, Friends and Musicians as the best Jimi Hendrix Impersonator to Cover his Music. SRV used to open for Randy when he was first starting out, Randy uses Marshall Amps like Jimi and these Amps have a Tube Pre-Amp Stage, SRV used Fender Super Reverb 50 Watt 4x10 Speakers & a Vibroverb, both are Clean Amps so Stevie used a Tube Screamer Pedal to push these Amps into Overdrive. Randy Hansen, Ritchie Blackmore, Stevie Vai, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson & Yngwei Malmsteen and other Guitar Greats covered "Little Wing" My Guitar Student Chris in Seattle gave me back the Transcription for "Little Wing" I gave him after a year of lessons. Ritchie Blackmore played in Deep Purple, his "Fireball" Lp influenced Yngwei Malmsteen to fuse Classical with Rock & Roll. Yngwei stated "Some of Jimis best Guitar work was his Covers of Bob Dylans "Like a Rolling Stone & All along the Watchtower." Jimi Hendrix fused Blues, Folk, Soul, R&B, Funk, Classical & Jazz, he wasn't just a Blues Derivative Player but an Innovator. Ritchie Blackmore said In Guitar Player Magazine "In all due Respect BB, there's only so much you can say with a 5 note Pentatonic Scale. Jazz Musicians regard the Blues as the Grandfather of Jazz, They built off the Blues extending Chords, Stacking 3rds and adding Color tunes, the Dominant 5 Chord was most Embellished. Wes Montgomery & Charlie Christian were a big influence on Jimi, Wes stated "A Guitarist would have to be a pretty poor Musician to not hear what Charlie was saying or where he was Going with his Solos." Jimi Hendrix jammed with Jazz Musicians Miles Davis; John Mclaughlin, Les Paul, Mitch Mitchell, Roland Kirk and who ever Producer Alan Douglas could arrange forJazz Jams.
My favorite SRV performance❤
"Life Without You"
(Live at Capitol Theater)
@HardNews TV14 you nailed it!!
Every single thing about it is epic - plus the song is amazingly beautiful! He wrote it about a friend that past away. ❤ SRV was one of a kind.
YES!!!
@@jennhurl Stevie didn't write this...old song recorded by Jimi Hendrix in the 60's.
YES!!! My favorite as well!
@@sharrongrant6240 "Life Without You" was written by Stevie & is on his 1985 album "Soul To Soul" in memory of his great friend and mentor Charley Wirz. Charley owned "Charley's Guitar Shop" in Dallas where the two met in the 70's. Charley was the person who worked on all of Stevie's guitars. All of Stevie's guitars have names. One of his favorite is one Charley pieced together for him - the while & black one which Stevie named "The Charley Statocaster". They were super close & Stevie honored their friendship with the song. It's got a lot of heart in it. I think it's why it's my favorite. ❤
Every time I watch anything from this concert I tear up from both joy and sadness. Joy because he is such a gift to music and guitarists around the world where his music is just a real joy and inspiration to hear, then sadness because we lost him to soon and knowing we can never see him again on stage and what else he could have done.
SRV was my favorite as soon as I heard him for the first time early in his career and fortunately I have had the pleasure of seeing him perform live a couple times... I still clearly remember the morning I heard the news of his passing, I don't think I have ever gotten over it which probably contributes to my emotions watching the El Mocambo concert because this show is So Purely SRV in an intimate setting, just him his favorite guitar and the great Double Trouble backing him up.
I saw him play at a bar in Toronto, it was a mystical experience.
I agree SRV is my favorite as well, i listen to him almost every day. Love it. Have a great day everyone
An SRV original, and my personal favorite by him, is "Riviera Paradise." Talk about a laid back in the hammock vibe. Please find your way to it.
Actually this is a Jimi Hendrix song, however, SRV DEFINITELY Does it Justice!!
@@michaeldrennan9932 lol, I know Little Wing is a Hendrix tune. I was suggesting an SRV original, "Riviera Paradise."
@@michaeldrennan9932 Little Wing is a Hendrix song, but Rivera Paradise is all SRV!!!
Kaye Whye - I'm hearing you, just read your statement wrong, my Apologies!!
@@michaeldrennan9932 lol, if that's the worst thing that happens to me this week, I'ma be a'ight! 😁
No worries, we all misread something occasionally. 🖖
I first started listening to SRV not long after I started learning how to play bass. I was really getting into his groove. I was on deployment with the Navy, in the Persian Gulf, when I learned he died. I was devastated. I still play bass, but his music was a huge influence in my playing (can you imagine being a bass player and having to keep up with THAT?!)
Jay's Question: "How is he playing without strumming it?"
Answer: If you press down hard(ish) on a string, it makes a noise whether or not you're strumming with your other hand. You'll see this in solos a lot when a guitarist "finger taps" a bunch of (usually quick) notes with one or both hands.
Known to guitarists as "Hammer-ons". Tapping is much lighter.
There will never be another SRV. So awesome to hear this again. I live this version. I could listen to it over and over again, so mesmerizing. Thanks guys for playin this song🤟🤟😎🎸❤️
Pure fire baby!!!🔥🔥
“Little Wing” is great too. If I recall correctly, Stevie Ray Vaughan laid diown that instrumental track in the studio, and it was released on “The Sky Is Crying” album 1991 after his death in August 1990.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is my absolute all time favorite ever!!!! And this comes from a girl raised in the 70s and thinking the 70s has the best music ever. Only problem is the 70s didn’t have Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Another soulful SRV instrumental is, "Lenny,"
I saw SRV play Lenny at Nicks Uptown on lower Greenville in Dallas. Our table was 5ft from the stage.
JAY, YOU ARE THE MAN!! Glad you found SRV cause I love to watch your reactions... Believe me, you won't find a bad performance by him. React to "Sound Check" and be blown away at a sound check, not even a performance... Amber, you asked that we tell you who our favorite artist is.....Mine has to be Elvis Presley! From 1954 - 1977 he did Rock & Roll, Pop, Country, and Gospel and sold millions of records in each area. His Concerts were attended by fans from all over the world because he didn't do any shows overseas. They CAME here to see him perform. I will admit I was there when rock & roll was born and have been an Elvis fan than and will always be a fan. Keep on keepin' on. BCNU...
When he plays without strumming it’s called hammer on and hammer off. He’s tapping the strings on the frets he wants it to be so it plays the note that would be played.
Thank you for sharing this. Damn near hurts as bad today, as it did 32 yrs.ago. He'll always be missed.The GOAT RIP SRV.
Anybody remember a MTV Unplugged session back in the 90’s where Stevie came out all by himself, just him and his 12 string acoustical guitar and proceeded to play all of his biggest hits back to back? It was the most amazing thing I ever witnessed. He was so good with that 12 string that you didn’t even notice or miss the fact that there were no other band members playing.
I am gonna have to look that up.
He uses a technique called hammer-ons and pull-offs to play without picking. Stevie Ray does so many little flourishes while playing that you feel like you're only playing 25% of the song when you play from sheet music. Beautiful player 🤘❤
You have just reacted to my favorite artist💕🎶‼️ not only is a consummate musician without equal, but the man cannot play without losing himself in sweet surrender being swept away in musical bliss💙 in turn he swept all of us up with him💯 You have to watch him play as he displays such utter passion in his playing and pouring out his heart and soul in every note. Completely mesmerizing and captivating.🎸🎶‼️💙💙 thank you so much for another great review👏👏✌️🦋
Stevie couldn't even read sheet music ! He was one of the greatest musicians !
One of Jimi Hendrixs most beautiful songs, and Stevie blows it out of the water as an instrumental, I was blessed to be able to see him once, and I wish I still had the chance to do that.R.I.P Stevie your so missed 👌
Brilliant. Wait to watch van Halen drop his tricks. Eruption live.
If you like SRV then Eddie van Halens' Eruption is a must see!
That guitar was a part of that man's body. Rest in Peace, Stevie Ray, and thank you for all the amazing music.
SRV has an instrumental you'd love. Riviera Paradise. But you should also check out another picker;
The Reverand Peyton's Big Damn Band "Clap Your Hands" "Devils Look Like Angels" "Poor Until Payday"
Yes!!!!!!
I agree!! I've recommended it to a lot of reactors but they all react to the same songs all the time. Jordan is such a fan he needs to hear that song.
There are stories of the band having to superglue his fingertips back on because Stevie plays so hard and long and just won't stop. That is commitment!
along the SRV vibe is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. His style is similar and Blue on Black was a big hit for him
One is my favorites of Kenny's is Heat of the Sun..awesome guitar solo in the song, While we Cry is my favorite solo song of his.
I prefer "Last Goodbye" by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, but the others mentioned are quite good as well.
The goat 💘🥀❤
Life by the drop and Life without you please you really get to appreciate his vocals on those tracks
Life By The Drop is my favorite SRV song for sure
Life by the Drop is definitely my favorite. Haven’t heard anyone react to it though. Let me know if you know of anyone that has.
"Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd played live with him onstage before want to quit".............Eric Clapton.
Sting sings the most GORGEOUS version of this song ever! Read these amazing lyrics! I'll leave the audio link in comments! Let me know what ya think! ❤Jen
Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairy tales
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, she says,
It's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything
Fly on, little wing

Hey Jen ❤️
@Zoey The Savannah Leo stopped doing music 😭 so I had to get my fix somewhere! Jay & Amber are pretty fun! Music is my life so I wonder if I'll ever break away! 🤣
@@dianegoldeneye7207 Hey Beautiful! So glad to see ya over here! 😘
My Step Daddy could play like Stevie Ray Vaughan really it was unbelievable he used to play in Jacksonville speaking of my Step Daddy he can play all kinds of instruments and sing I just don't think he heard his self like everyone else did all of his family were so talented in the music 🎵
He's in heaven now and if you're allowed to sing in the choir for God in HEAVEN 🙏🏽❤ now maybe he's with Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a phenomenal musician.
So was my Step Daddy ❤❤❤ I'm not being partial it's true my step daddy was a phenomenal musician as well lo❤e and miss you Diddy Ode
Also miss Stevie Ray Vaughan
Used heaviest gauge guitar strings so he could do the extreme bending he did without breaking them and massively strong hands helped. too. Have you ever seen him play guitar behind his back just as good as in front. #1 in my book of guitar players as he stands on the shoulders of Jimi as he added to Jimi's greatness in my opinion. 1957 Stratocaster to boot! My favorite female is Linda Ronstadt 1968-1980 and SRV for male......so sad he died so young.
That face that you paused on, was him coming back. It's a face of, "Oh, hey! What's up guys? Oh, we're still here! Yup, okay...I got this!" It seemed like he sometimes 'felt' the music so hard, that he could funnel his feelings through the music. Such an amazing artist to watch!
This is a masterpiece guitar solo by SRV. Hendrix did it first. Derek & The Dominos (Eric Clapton) next. Then SRV. You should react to all three. All masterpieces done in different styles by top 5 guitarists of all time.
Sting also covered this song.
Totally agree. All three are great in their own way. (Not a big of Sting's version though.)
For real for real
Absolutely.
I appreciate you including Duane in your count brother.
He was the fire for me to pick up a guitar!
Thank you. For playing this tonight, for reacting with such love and admiration, I thank you. I so needed this. (You have to look up the video of SRV sound check. 18 minutes, Jordan.)
I'm just gonna keep asking for you to watch: Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien (from Satriani LIVE!)
Joe Satriani is an amazing guitar player with a bit of a different sound than SRV. You'll like it Jay.
I keep bugging them about Rory Gallagher but Joe deserves some attention here as well.
He is a good human as well, Gave lessons to Steve Vai, Kurt Hammett ..He is amazing..He is in my Top 5 all time great players.. With Jimi & Eddie & Stevie
To appreciate Stevie Ray it's a must to see him play.
I play this with our bar band, been playing it for years, my pals etc. say they can close their eyes and would swear it was Stevie. Obviously makes me feel good, but, most of em don't know on top of already being a long time player, I religiously watched, listened and studied Stevie, including this concert over and over and over, to the point of almost destroying my marriage, ignoring a lot of other things, just memorizing every nuance, and trick, everything he played. All my free time plus, for probably a couple years , and then steady improving on. All the while he walked out that night and played it like he was born playing it. And,inside, I've appreciated the compliments, but know it's not quite true. Edit: oh, the " playing without strumming" you asked about, if you hammer on, and pull off the string hard enough, you get the sound, and note you want, has a slightly different sound than a pluck, but it's common, and helpful for speed, fluidity, etc. Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon are above top level just being able to read Stevie as well as they did, and be where they should be, not always easy with a guy like SRV.
What I take away from SRV’s playing and your experience is how much absolute WORK goes into being that good. How many hours, how much sweat, tears and commitment to make it seem easy.
@@joeblow972 yeah... but honestly, I've been a drummer since age 8, didn't start playing guitar seriously until I was around 20, and was playing in a bar band a year later. Also I'm a leftie but play rightie, that's what was always around. I try to encourage anyone interested to begin at ANY age. Youth is better, but it's never too late.
Humble brags all over the place
from your picture of you on your avatar yes you look just like stevie
@@markvanderstelt8999 haha...Maybe Steve Urkel
Legend has it that when Bob Dylan heard Jimi play "all along the watch tower" (which he wrote) - he said "that's what i meant"
I can just hear Jimi saying that as he watches SRV play this.
7:00 The only reason I don't agree 100% is me thinking: "You clearly need to hear more Hendrix cuz ya'll gonna change your mind..."
Especially since you guys love Janis so much, I just kinda expect you'll have the same love for Jimi when you hear him play the guitar for real (apart from the theatrics)... He has that rugged, unpolished bluesy funky soul that I know you'll love once you get a real taste of it.
But well, that's just my opinion and no disrespect meant at all to SRV... He's a very close second as far as I'm concerned and I think they're both phenomenal in their own right.
I’ve been watching some old interviews with Stevie Ray - he was not only an extremely talented musician but a smart, kind, and funny man
SRV is your favorite. SRV's favorite was Jimi Hendrix and this was an homage to Jimi who wrote and performed it first. You've heard SRV do a couple of Jimi's songs, now you need to listen to Jimi.
All I can say is THANK YOU for playing and appreciating SRV!
Little wing and castles made of sand is the 2 saddest songs Jimi ever did.
I was lucky to see Stevie live 5-6 times in my life, including the last show of his life, that fateful night at Alpine Valley Wisc., and he was sensational EVERY single time! That last night, he talked on stage, about how getting sober saved his life, but saved his soul as well. He was gone forever about 6 hours later. Greatest blues guitarist ever, R.I.P.
Derek and the Dominoes do a pretty good job with this song. Eric Clapton and Duane Allman basically paying tribute to Jimi just days before his death.
By FAR STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS MY FAVORITE EVER THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE HIM.. EVER !! EVER!! HE WAS HUMBLE,KIND,, SOULFUL, JUST THE MOST AMAZING PERSON EVER!!! PLEASE KEEP REACTING TO HIM!!! OH YEAH AND SEXY!!
