    Stevie was a really kind and caring man at the same time, my grandma used to watch Stevie and his brother Jimmy whenever they were younger and whenever he got famous we went to a show and he reconnected with her and sent her a check in the mail one day to pay off her house. What a great soul he was.

    Side note: the "wah-wah" pedal he was steppin on in the beginning of the song was given to him by Jimi Hendrix's family, and that very pedal was the one Hendrix used on stage...true story...SVR is the G.O.A.T....

      It is Jimi's wah, but he got it from his brother, Jimmie, who opened for Jimi as a teen with Chessmen, I believe. Jimi broke his, borrowed Jimmie's, broke that one. Gave him another and some cash.
      Jimmie speaks of it often in interviews and it is included in Stevie's biographies.

      Nice. When I saw Stevie in the '80s, I figured his renditions of Voodoo Child and Little Wing were as close as I was going to get to seeing Hendrix live, since obviously, Jimi was already gone. But a little closer still if some of those notes were passing through Jimi's wah pedal on the way to the amplifier and my ears!

      It's hard to say who the greatest guitar player is, because of all the genres, styles and artistry across the generations. It's like saying who's the greatest Basketball player of all time - different positions, eras etc. But in this case I 100% agree with you. Stevie combined something very unique, perfect technical chops combined with a fierce musicality that flowed from his soul directly to his hands. Everything was effortless with Stevie. No gimmicks, just a real voice in every note. He was on another celestial plane from everyone else.

    Srv is a texas blues legend. He helped revitalize blues in the 80's. Srv was inspired by Hendrix (amongst other blues legends), they never got to play together, but Stevie covered a lot of his songs and made them his own. He died in a helicopter crash, after a concert in Alpine Valley, Colorado. You guys should check out his live version of "Ain't Gonna Give up on Love". I think there is a show he did in NJ after he got sober. It is so powerful it brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Keep up the great work!

    I love what you do. I have noticed that some of the music you hear are actually remakes and, while good music is always good music, it might be cool to watch the original and then the remake and give thoughts.
    Also, how about some bluegrass? Look up Earl Scruggs and Lester Flat, Roy Clark, and Glenn Campbell. Excellent banjo and guitars.

The dude literally plays a face shredding, mind blowing solo, behind his God damn back! He is the greatest live musician to have ever done it. BB King has played with him, and this is what he said: " I've always said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray missed on both counts, but I've never noticed, and neither did he!" You should also check out "tin pan alley", played with Johnny Copeland. Literally the greatest blues rock guitarist of all time.

They are straight up rock solid killers . Stevie pretty much never did the same thing twice , a lot of improv and they could follow him wherever he went , on the fly , and still hold it all together. And these Cats played this hard during SOUNDCHECK! You can look it up. All in, all the time.
