Great reaction! SRV is considered by many to be the greatest guitarist who ever lived. There are arguably a few who are better 'technical' players, but as BB King, Eric Clapton, and many others said, he was an open channel for what he felt and poured it through his instrument like it was a part of his body. He also played on some of the thickest strings usable for the great tone they provided, further putting him into a class by himself. He died far too young in a helicopter crash at 35. For another great video of his to react to, I highly recommend Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo). I think it's maybe my favorite live performance of all time.
