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

[@joescullion5604]

I'm sorry, but SRV was greater.

[@DDSRdds]

Gary Moore , srv 2 of the best ever , all other are awesome 😊

[@steveadams3800]

From Dallas Texas.

[@davidspalten1304]

Gotta agree with him. SRV was great but Hendrix traveled on divine inspiration. He wrote this incredible piece.

[@chriswhinery925]

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.

[@queenbeedat8726]

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.....

[@billkirkpatrick9112]

feel the same

[@woodywoodman2319]

GOAT.... is spelled Stevie Ray Vaughn !!! Period... Nuff said !!!

[@jscho8674]

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.

[@mickeymayfield4192]

Stevie's guitar was an extention of his soul, you just know he was feeling every note.

[@jamesgonzales5285]

👊🏼 Nailed it!!

[@conniehorton1981]

@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!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@JimiBurleigh]

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."

[@rickwheeler5496]

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.

[@Wilson-cp4gx]

SRV - Riviera Paradise. The smoothest song ever performed. It has been said it was his gift to mankind.

[@nebbindog6126]

My absolute favorite! The whole band shines their stellar selves on that one.

[@albertsmith9315]

One more vote for Rivera Paradise... terrific!

[@michaeltodd5820]

I’m with all y’all on this! Riviera Paradise is one of the greatest pieces of music ever created.

[@TheRagratus]

I agree too.

[@3John16]

This one right HERE 100%

[@StumpyTales]

This live version is wild, but the studio version is immaculate and divine. Well worth many listens.

[@TheRagratus]

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.

[@tommyyork9786]

Thanks for that story bro. SRV!

[@futurereflections4097]

“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.

[@gregwatson3300]

I'm inclined to agree. "The Wind Cries Mary" is a beautiful lyric as well.

[@TYoung023]

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!

[@futurereflections4097]

@@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.

[@gsparkman]

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

[@futurereflections4097]

@@gsparkman Heck ya! The word turquoise sounded so awkward to me but made me listen more closely to the rest of the song.

[@caseymoe816]

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!🔥🤙

[@andrewpetik2034]

Well said!!

[@chuckaustin3832]

YES - SRV OWNS THIS performance. It is all him.

[@caseymoe816]

@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.🤙

[@Studio44B]

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.

[@caseymoe816]

@@Studio44B So dead on! Love the “written in the Key of Genius”!

[@roadkill7314]

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!

[@Studio44B]

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.

[@edithkeller9694]

Well said.....

[@bcafed]

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.

[@messi5601]

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

[@roadkill7314]

@@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!

[@scapito]

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.

[@futurereflections4097]

Nobody else can cover Hendrix and not sound underwhelming. SRV is a legend.

[@SuperFlowback]

SRV did Hendrix better than Hendrix did Hendrix 😏

[@scapito]

@@SuperFlowback we'll agree to disagree... love them both, but prefer Hendrix performing the music he created.

[@georgegwoolston1730]

Ever seen Gary Moore's tribute to Jimi, "Red House?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqfYaIxvZt2Iga8

[@gregwatson3300]

I consider it more of an interpretation than a cover. Both versions are great.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

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!

[@steveknox3007]

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

[@markmorale9322]

"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..."

[@dellanderica]

I wish I could upvote this comment over and over.

[@ke2706]

One of my absolute favorite songs. Fits any mood and can go on repeat for infinity. I love seeing people discover his greatness.

[@tommontgomery8256]

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.

[@tommontgomery8256]

Just had another thought; like Boston on headphones, on headphones in a dark room, SRV is a sonic security blanket.

[@TrevorandThea]

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.

[@Paleotech1]

Tells a story without words……

[@travp959]

I agree SRV is my favorite as well, i listen to him almost every day. Love it. Have a great day everyone

[@clintfrancispodcast]

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.

[@dbradx]

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!

[@SIXX2772]

SRV did a good cover but only Jimi's is perfect.

[@SIXX2772]

Lets not forget, NOBODY played guitar this way until HENDRIX brought it from his own mind and this version is missing the lyrics

[@scapito]

@@SIXX2772 I was bummed this didn't have the lyrics bc I think Amber would've loved them.

[@dbradx]

[@LegalEagleGurl]

SRV’s version of “Little Wing” is one of the best in my opinion. An absolute guitar Rock god! 🎸

[@Shannonrenees]

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 !!!🙂🎸🤟💕🍺

[@kathleenwilson2708]

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!

[@ralphmacdonald2581]

Jimi Hendrix wrote this song about his guardian Angel. But you've got to hear the original. Jimi Hendrix,on Axis Bold As Love.

[@Studio44B]

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....

[@Salve01]

One version that is worth to listen to is by Derek and the Dominos.

[@centuryrox]

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!

[@jscho8674]

YES!!!!! Agreed!

[@mstewart109]

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

[@conniehorton1981]

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 ❤️

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!

[@Music-ev8ch]

I was 23 when he died, I was broken hearted, (for years) its great to see young folks keeping the flame going, I have been watching these reaction videos on and off over the past few years, in all the comments I have read I have never ever seen a negative or disparaging comment from anyone about SRV, they are either already converts or first time blown away listeners ... He was a once in a life time gift to us all.

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.

[@armadillotoe]

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.

[@kingdickhead6003]

I miss SRV, a true guitar legend. You can see how much he feels what he's playing, truly amazing

All I can say is THANK YOU for playing and appreciating SRV!

[@nonyabusiness6084]

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.

[@robertlazenby9686]

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.

Never saw SRV in concert but was fortunate to see Jimi play this live.

[@singluna888]

To appreciate Stevie Ray it's a must to see him play.

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!"

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.

[@mysticmavens811]

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

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 ❤️

[@joescullion5604]

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?!)

[@garytreez]

Unique, brilliant, not comparable....he stands alone in his brilliance. Very few guitarists have that "gift" and he is among that very small group......along with hendrix and page.

[@Shrykespeare]

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.

[@mookie7688]

I always liked Satriani's song The Phone Call too. Classic burn song, and a fun romp.

[@lindapetro5594]

[@artsilva]

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.

[@marvingoodman7381]

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...

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.

[@beaubradley2171]

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.

[@thseed7]

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 🤘❤

[@kathyedleman633]

The band "Yes" has always been my favorite. It's hard to choose when there are so many talented artists.

[@richardclingempeel6111]

That's why the people in the audience just stare in awe.

[@trublu01stang]

“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.

[@rachelceleste2111]

Brilliant. Wait to watch van Halen drop his tricks. Eruption live.

[@richarddaniel2563]

If you like SRV then Eddie van Halens' Eruption is a must see!

[@andrewpetik2034]

4:46 The COOLEST sound that I, personally, have ever heard. Stevie Ray FELT music!!

[@harrietmiller3982]

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👏👏✌️🦋

[@johnplaysgames3120]

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.

[@ultraslowhand]

Known to guitarists as "Hammer-ons". Tapping is much lighter.

[@laritownsend2527]

along the SRV vibe is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. His style is similar and Blue on Black was a big hit for him

[@shellyjones9833]

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.

[@professionalvampire1]

I prefer "Last Goodbye" by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, but the others mentioned are quite good as well.

[@desertrat4453]

SRV is my favorite of all time, there are many others I love to listen to but I always come back to Stevie. Love and heartbreak all mixed together.

[@danstanicki4636]

That guitar was a part of that man's body. Rest in Peace, Stevie Ray, and thank you for all the amazing music.

[@barbaracline9064]

There’s a statue of him down by Lady Bird Lake in Austin TX.

[@brentcox7772]

So good!!!🤘🔥

[@marymarlow4783]

Stevie wrote Life Without You. In the words he says....All the love you passed our way. It says that on his grave stone. Makes me cry! I'm an old lady now and regret that I never got to see him perform. Gone too soon......

[@jamietfranklin]

the soul in his hands

[@crzyoldmn]

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"

[@scapito]

Yes!!!!!!

[@eileendobbs8009]

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.

[@KayeWhye]

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.

[@michaeldrennan9932]

Actually this is a Jimi Hendrix song, however, SRV DEFINITELY Does it Justice!!

[@KayeWhye]

@@michaeldrennan9932 lol, I know Little Wing is a Hendrix tune. I was suggesting an SRV original, "Riviera Paradise."

[@conniehorton1981]

@@michaeldrennan9932 Little Wing is a Hendrix song, but Rivera Paradise is all SRV!!!

[@michaeldrennan9932]

Kaye Whye - I'm hearing you, just read your statement wrong, my Apologies!!

[@KayeWhye]

@@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. 🖖

[@lesahill3241]

So much emotion said without words

[@forty6andzwei]

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!

[@bluesman3232]

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.

[@1COMIXMAN]

Little wing and castles made of sand is the 2 saddest songs Jimi ever did.

[@robertwalker1803]

Love you two…you have such respect for talent. RIP,SRV.He shreds when he does not even try to shred….

[@srebello1140]

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood another all time great !!!
