Many may say Hendrix was No1, in my opinion, SRV was EASILY the best of all time. He loved and respected Hendrix, but Stevie in the end, was on a different level. There are many greats, but other no Man could be this could, its just not possible!
one of my greatest idols , guy is just damnn Good lot of soul n heart into his playin one day i will perform that song , and do my best !! im in Texas not to far from his home in Oak Cliff Tx , one day i will visit his stone whre he is resting ill play something for one day , he has visited me in 2 dreams in my life was giving lessons in one of em other he was laying art on his guitar was so cool, i do have a replica of that Lenny have not yet performed on stage yet , some day when SRV tells me its time
He IS absolutely the greatest guitar player of all time. Even the best of the best admit it. He wasn't COMPETING with Hendrix. He idolized him. He inspired Stevie. They say you don't become better than your master. Oh yes you can. He used to sneak his big brother's guitar while he wasn't home and play it in the closet, knowing full well if he got caught he'd get beat up. And he did get caught. He also played with 12 gauge strings which would split his fingertips open but he's just superglue them closed and keep playing. He was a beast. What a gifted man this was. He is dearly missed. His estate doesn't do his legacy justice by blocking his videos but I guess they're afraid they're gonna miss a dollar. Sad. This man needs to be HEARD! AND seen. These reactions are helping that. Good job.
🤠 No, you will NOT come across another guitar player who is better, period! So put your mind at ease. You're seeing the greatest right here! SRV!!! 🎸🙏💙
You are right about him being the GOAT 🐐 of all guitarists. You will never find another like him. Eric Clapton wanted to quit after hearing him and had emotional breakdowns playing with or after him. There is no one alive or dead who is near his level.
His older brother taught him a little the they did as brothers do and turned it into a contest.. but it wasnt long before he was to far ahead of his brother...he had alot of things going for him like he practiced harder than anyone else you will ever meet.. to the point that he would cut off calouses and super glue them on his fingers where he had worn them raw so he could practice more.. now thats a level of dedication so far above what any normal person would ever go... he was also extreamly humble and never let his talent get to his head.. he always showed respect to other players and other styles.. i went to 6 of his concerts and sometimes he would play for 2 hours.. and sometimes when he was in a zone he would play for 4 hours.. he wanted everyone to have a good time, treat everyone with respect , and wanted everyone to feel like they got their monies worth..i never seen Hendrix but i do have his complete collection and always put him high on the list.. top 5.. along with Ertic Clapton. Chuck Berry, and B.B. King but while each gifted music in slightly differrent sounds.. for Me SRV will always be the greatest and a sound i can enjoy any day any time any where.. he truely was and is the greatest ever...
SRV is absolutely The GOAT. Not just technically, but he played with his heart, his soul opened up and music just poured through him. You can see it and feel it. To me he is absolutely the best ever. Fantastic Reaction Friend, Thanks! Oh, have you watched Tin Pan Alley live with Johnny Copeland? Amazing as usual...😊
Stevie is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME! You will never see anyone better!! I'm an old lady now and have seen many many guitar players and he is the best!! RIP Stevie. We will always love you.
I think what you're seeing is that SRV's soul was connected to the guitar in a different way than anybody else. It was truly somehow his lifeblood. It went beyond being a great player - it was spiritual for him (and for us).
Yo man, I'm an old dude, and I've heard all the great guitarists. Including many of the great blues guitarists here in America. None are greater than SRV. This dude was hammering that Fender every sound check, every song, every performance on every stage he ever graced. Absolute brilliance.
You should know the story of the white guitar that SRV is playing. A friend of his named Charley Wirz build it for him back when SRV was poor and unheard of. Charley Wirz died of a heart attack and SRV wrote this song as his eulogy. He also named the guitar “Charley” in honor of his friend. That’s why you see him change guitars at the beginning of this video - SRV tried whenever possible to play Charley for Life Without You
This is a nostalgic story for me. My father bought and traded guitars at Charlie's shop. When I was around 10 or eleven, he ordered a custom 3/4 Yamaha acoustic at Charlie's. I carried that guitar around with me for years. Later, when I was a budding electric guitar player in the 80s, and knowing that SRV had recently become my favorite guitarist at the time, my father faked some "issues" with my at-the-time beloved mid-70s cherry sunburst Les Paul so he could "take it into the shop" and he lent me another Les Paul to play in the meantime. When the guitar was returned, it was autographed by Stevie Ray Vaughan himself. I'm sorry to say that the guitar was stolen along with other guitars and equipment several years later, but having that in my history is and will be heartwarming and bittersweet. 🖤❤️🖤
You are spot on. One of the best ever. I've never seen anyone like Stevie. Will you find faster players? Yes. Will you find crazy better shredders? Yes. But no one, plays with the feel and melodic soulful sound of the Stevie Ray. Period.
He was so humble he always said when he played he played like it was his last time and wanted people to enjoy the show he never let his success go to his head . You know you have make legend status when the legends that come before you called you a legend and is blown away by your playing.
Completely agreed with him being the best, there's just something entirely different when it comes to him. I recommend checking out Gary Moore once you get the chance, incredible Irish bluesman that unfortunately passed away a little over 10 years ago. He's got that same fire that Stevie does in my opinion, just a different style of playing
Stevie went into rehab in the fall of 1986 at the same his best friend Tommy Shannon who played bass. He was very grateful and thanked God he was alive this video was before then. He helped many people come into sobriety. A humble and gentle man. Much as I love him as a musician, I love the man more.
You do know that Stevie Ray played with 13 gauge strings. Literally like industrial cables, that would rip off your fingertips. Stevie was always using Super Glue to glue his callouses back on whenever they'd fall off. He'd glue on whatever skin he could find. His longtime guitar tech said Stevie would even ask him if he had any extra skin he could use from time to time. He was a guitar beast. 🎸
Yeah 13 are tuff i worked may way up to that gauge , got prob half of my strats on 13's , after 13's any gauge feels like a toy guitar , i do like the feel of 13's now
Thanks for the awesome SRV reaction. I view myself very lucky to have watched him play live when I was very young at a CA Jazz Festival. I actually love him more now after discovering more of him in concert thru YT. Anyhow, all these years later I’ve yet to see another human being outdo Stevie on guitar. Gone too soon but most definitely never forgotten. WE LOVE YOU SRV! Thank you! ✌🏼💜
In my opinion there isn't anyone better than srv was and quite possibly never will be.... others can play the same songs but not with the feelings that Stevie did,,R.I.P. brother stevie we will always love and miss you.
I agree that SRV is the G.O.A.T.! Eric Clapton even said that he wouldn't want to follow SRV. It's hard to pick it up, but he lost his tooth when playing with his teeth. You can read his lips, lost my tooth, it's gone. He just kept on playing. This is my favorite SRV song!
The greatness of one's humanity will always outshine their talent, even if that too is great. In fact, the greatness of one's humanity will like enhance whatever talent one has. God bless.
The most fierce guitar slingin' exhibitionist you'll ever see. Style. Technique. Swagger. Heart. I don't like to do the who's-better-best thing, but this man stands as a monument over the landscape of late 20th century performers.
Great assessment!!! Played through guitar change, playing a guitar that was out of tune, making adjustments as he went. Had the good fortune to see him quite a few times, mostly when he was sober. Rarely say anyone is the greatest but I will say there are none better than Stevie Ray Vaughan. I remember watching Clapton talk about him and it was spot on, said someth I like “he was a channel” and the blues just flowed through him.
I agree. It’s SOOOO hard to pick “the greatest” of anything. But, holy hell, SRV CERTAINLY comes closest than I think anybody in the world has come in anything. His playing combined with the soul just was unparalleled!! Immediate thumbs up and subscribe, btw, when you made that comment. Haha. 👍🏼
The song is about his guitar crafter & friend - Charlie - who passed away; the guitar he uses when playing this song is named after & crafted by Charlie. What a wonderful eulogy & tribute.
We love Stevie Ray everything that he ever played I am 76 I’ve seen him two or three times in person before he dies and he’s just as nice as stage is he was on stage he gave me one of his beautiful fox tails you gave me two but one of the big ones that I hang right in my purse right now that I travel with and the other one I gave to the twins but I’m going to tell you he is wonderful and another person that needs a lot of credit for bringing out what was going on during those years is Elvis Presley you remember I live through these yearsThrough all the segregation through all of that when I had black girlfriends I am white and in the girls at school the Italian girls school I’m a tell you Swedish myself will call me the N-word do you know lover and let me tell you something I never stood for it I am 76 years old and let me tell you some to this day I wouldn’t stand for it believe me I’d be in their ass so fast I wouldn’t know what him Liz the queen
Stevie was asked who was better, Him or Jimi. And he replied that Jimi was better. Stevie was humble to the end. I know because I was at his last concert. His brother Jimmy, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy were there also that night. They all played as equals and it was a night to remember.
always a favorite,,he lost a tooth ,,then you can read his lips as he tells his guitar tech,,,"i lost my tooth",,,,,,"its gone",,,,then finishes the song while scanning the stage floor looking for his tooth
He's playin' with one hand. Which what he was doin'. He is th Greatest Guitar player on the face of the planet. BAR NONE !! YA'LL know who said that? Jimmy Hendrix.
Stevie just pulled his tooth out playing the guitar with his mouth. If you notice, he is looking for it, and even mentioned it/mouths it to someone while he is playing. Yeah, nobody better than Stevie Ray.
Quick guitar change! He also did this in a couple other videos when he's busted a string cuz he's so fierce in his playing that the strings don't know what else to do but let go. 😋 He's a brute! smh And his guitar tech is right there to come up behind and switch out the guitar and put it on the strap and Stevie doesn't miss a beat. He's so stunning.
Great reaction and appreciation for one of the best ever! There were so many incredible guitar players from the 60’s thru 80’s playing different styles, but Stevie is a top 3 for me!
He is sooooo smooth you didnt even notice the guitar switch because he broke a string a the first of the video! Notice his guitar was red and they switched to a cream guitar! A true professional!
This was during his coke addiction years as you can see by his eyes . Fortunately he got sober not long after . Interesting fact he lost a tooth doing this performance.......You can see him turn to his brother on the drums saying " I lost a tooth" around 11.15 and then say " I'm ok "not long after and he just carries on smiling and absolutely slayes it. Saw him in Auckland NZ back in 86 -87 The only gig i've been at where you turned around and everyone had their mouths open in awe. I! was absolutely gutted when i heard he passed in a helicopter crash. . His soul was totally on display with his playing .He was and still is a legend.
Please, please, please! Gotta do Texas Flood before you move on! His message is spot on. Read his bio and you will see he figured it out the hard way before his untimely death. Jordan, don't shy away from saying he's the best. I have struggled with saying this since the 80's . First it was , Clapton & Page. Then you have Iommi & Blackmore, Hendrix & Van Halen. But I believe that all of them would have him in the top 3.
Seems like the best of the best leave this earth way to soon. SVR, Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Prince, to name a few. So many more. At least they left us some of themselves to enjoy!
Good ear on your part. Great reaction. I subscribed after your first S.R.Vaughan reaction and Stevie is better than all of the other Artist-Guitarist that you mentioned. Enjoyed
Hard to believe he has been gone 31 years already, whenever I listen to his albums I wonder where he would be with his talent today..But I will just have to settle that he is up there with Jimmy Hendrix, Roy Clark, Glen Campbell and Robert Johnson who started it all.. R.I.P
He was great tell you a story the last Two concerts he performed in was with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and a couple other blues greats the last night of the concert he was to play and Eric Clapton was to go on after him so Clapton was waiting back stage and looked around and said to someone they expect me to go on after that and Clapton was and is a guitar legend also I read where Clapton was driving he car and heard Stevie he was so amazed he pulled over on the side of the road and listen and said to his self I have to find out who this is before the end of the day , Clapton said that had only happen to him 3 maybe 4 other times in his life when he hears someone so great it blows his mind .
You see him look around for his tooth after playing with them. If you look close you can see the missing spot. He grins over to his stage hand to show him!
You MUST check out "TEXAS FLOOD LIVE AT ELMOCAMBO" if you want to see one of his very best and most impressive blues/soul guitar performances of your life, arguably the best blues guitar performance every recorded.
You'll come across no one better. SRV was a talent that comes around once in a millennium. Hands down my #1 guitarist. I love Hendrix, but if you listen to Voo Doo Chile or Little Wing by both artist back to back and compare.....now tell me who's #1. And no one can get a guitar to emit more emotion than SRV.
Many may say Hendrix was No1, in my opinion, SRV was EASILY the best of all time. He loved and respected Hendrix, but Stevie in the end, was on a different level. There are many greats, but other no Man could be this could, its just not possible!
Hendrix was the godfather, and founding father, but SRV was the best.
one of my greatest idols , guy is just damnn Good lot of soul n heart into his playin one day i will perform that song , and do my best !! im in Texas not to far from his home in Oak Cliff Tx , one day i will visit his stone whre he is resting ill play something for one day , he has visited me in 2 dreams in my life was giving lessons in one of em other he was laying art on his guitar was so cool, i do have a replica of that Lenny have not yet performed on stage yet , some day when SRV tells me its time

Stevie is the 🐐 PERIOD.

I'm 50 yrs. old and I never came across anyone better at playing the guitar than him!!!! He's the best of the GOATS!
You may come across many guitar players that are amazing. But you will NEVER come across one BETTER than Stevie Ray Vaughan. FOREVER 🐐 SRV

You can feel Stevie's heart and soul bleed out through his guitar on this tribute to Charlie Wirz.

@@michaelbradfield3928 I agree 100% he gave all he had when he picked up the guitar no matter if it was on stage or recording studio

3rd Stone from the Sun live at the Fesitval. Stevie Ray Vaughan. ❤❤ mind Blower. Ya'll been Warned. ❤❤

Every time I hear a different SRV song, it becomes my favorite~❤️ He's the best in my humble opinion as well
Stevie the 🐐 Goat.
That genuine, reverent, and yes, even innocent inner child emerged and took over this performance with the fully developed guitarist supporting him.

THE goat. SRV and Hendrix were aliens. 👽 They played from someplace otherworldly.
PS - Good luck finding someone better. Dude was THE goat.
🤠 What Jack said ⬆👍
100% 🤘
Stevie will always be my hero
Great assessment!!! Played through guitar change, playing a guitar that was out of tune, making adjustments as he went. Had the good fortune to see him quite a few times, mostly when he was sober. Rarely say anyone is the greatest but I will say there are none better than Stevie Ray Vaughan. I remember watching Clapton talk about him and it was spot on, said someth I like “he was a channel” and the blues just flowed through him.

Emotional song FOR friend who died!!!
This is the great ...Texas Blues!
The song is about his guitar crafter & friend - Charlie - who passed away; the guitar he uses when playing this song is named after & crafted by Charlie. What a wonderful eulogy & tribute.
RIP Stevie, I still miss you.
There is none better than SRV.
Not even close.
We love Stevie Ray everything that he ever played I am 76 I’ve seen him two or three times in person before he dies and he’s just as nice as stage is he was on stage he gave me one of his beautiful fox tails you gave me two but one of the big ones that I hang right in my purse right now that I travel with and the other one I gave to the twins but I’m going to tell you he is wonderful and another person that needs a lot of credit for bringing out what was going on during those years is Elvis Presley you remember I live through these yearsThrough all the segregation through all of that when I had black girlfriends I am white and in the girls at school the Italian girls school I’m a tell you Swedish myself will call me the N-word do you know lover and let me tell you something I never stood for it I am 76 years old and let me tell you some to this day I wouldn’t stand for it believe me I’d be in their ass so fast I wouldn’t know what him Liz the queen

You've come across the greatest ever.. THAT IS STEVIE PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!!

He was by no means the most technical player, but he never faltered. Notes just dripped off his fingertips and the feel was unreal.
You can tell he feels his music like no other.
dont be sorry ....your right
always a favorite,,he lost a tooth ,,then you can read his lips as he tells his guitar tech,,,"i lost my tooth",,,,,,"its gone",,,,then finishes the song while scanning the stage floor looking for his tooth
That's what happens with long time cocaine/meth use. He wasn't going to stop though. smh
He is just a Star! ❤✌
The goat
He's playin' with one hand. Which what he was doin'. He is th Greatest Guitar player on the face of the planet. BAR NONE !! YA'LL know who said that? Jimmy Hendrix.

One of the Best. BARD'S Ever.
There’s no one better.
No one better!!!
And when he is smiling after playing with his teeth you read his lips "I chipped my tooth" had a good sense of humor about it
Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest! Another great guitarist worth reacting too is Dimebag Darrell
Oh he's the GOAT
The best
Great reaction and appreciation for one of the best ever! There were so many incredible guitar players from the 60’s thru 80’s playing different styles, but Stevie is a top 3 for me!
Probly not find better in your lifetime. SRV make you cry in awe.
He is sooooo smooth you didnt even notice the guitar switch because he broke a string a the first of the video! Notice his guitar was red and they switched to a cream guitar! A true professional!
Nobody notices hall of his guitar exchanges because the damn camera doesn’t usually show it.
He was/is the only one who could play a song with the guitar slightly out of tune and still sound beautiful. He is truly the GOAT.
This was during his coke addiction years as you can see by his eyes . Fortunately he got sober not long after . Interesting fact he lost a tooth doing this performance.......You can see him turn to his brother on the drums saying " I lost a tooth" around 11.15 and then say " I'm ok "not long after and he just carries on smiling and absolutely slayes it.

There is a great video of srv and bb king doing a blues workshop. Really puts into perspective just how much srv was loved and respected by all.
He is the greatest of all time.
Yep, God given
Hard to believe he has been gone 31 years already, whenever I listen to his albums I wonder where he would be with his talent today..But I will just have to settle that he is up there with Jimmy Hendrix, Roy Clark, Glen Campbell and Robert Johnson who started it all.. R.I.P
..😁…pull up a chair…young man….and hear one of the greatest artists of all time…enjoy 😁❤️👍
He was great tell you a story the last Two concerts he performed in was with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and a couple other blues greats the last night of the concert he was to play and Eric Clapton was to go on after him so Clapton was waiting back stage and looked around and said to someone they expect me to go on after that and Clapton was and is a guitar legend also I read where Clapton was driving he car and heard Stevie he was so amazed he pulled over on the side of the road and listen and said to his self I have to find out who this is before the end of the day , Clapton said that had only happen to him 3 maybe 4 other times in his life when he hears someone so great it blows his mind .
Check out Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland. You will not be disappointed
You see him look around for his tooth after playing with them. If you look close you can see the missing spot. He grins over to his stage hand to show him!
LEGEND,
You MUST check out "TEXAS FLOOD LIVE AT ELMOCAMBO" if you want to see one of his very best and most impressive blues/soul guitar performances of your life, arguably the best blues guitar performance every recorded.
There is no best guitar player, only favorite guitar players.
You'll come across no one better. SRV was a talent that comes around once in a millennium. Hands down my #1 guitarist. I love Hendrix, but if you listen to Voo Doo Chile or Little Wing by both artist back to back and compare.....now tell me who's #1. And no one can get a guitar to emit more emotion than SRV.
SRV GOAT
I'm 52 and grew up listening to SRV and I've never heard anyone better, Check the videos on Amazon of him.
