The thing that sets SRV apart (for me) can be summed up in 3 words: Watch the Knobs. Most guitarists set their tone and volume knobs before a given song, then play all the way through the song with those same settings. SRV tends to adjust those settings several times WITHIN a given song to get his guitar to produce the EXACT sound he wants for that particular portion of the song. Between the knobs, pedals, string bending, and pick placement over the pickups, SRV gets EVERYTHING he possibly can out of his guitar.

You can see the pads of his fingers if you look closely, they're all steel gray and gnarly from the strings. Chris Layton said Stevie would use a tiny dab of super glue on his fingertips and then touch his palm to tear off skin to make a patch. After it dried he'd smooth it with a nail file, then try to collect a bit of oil on his fingertips from touching his face, or Chris's, to soften the patch a bit. Stevie was one of a kind!

Stevie loved and respected and was inspired by Jimi but he is an artist with his own body of work, his own compositions that showcase his abilities both as a vocalist as well as guitarist. Everything from this same venue is 🔥. My absolute favorite creation of his Riveria Paradise from this set. It was created after Stevie's own rehab and recovery and dedicates it to all those still suffering in any way. It is soothing balm for your soul and feels like a warm and golden hug from this man's soul✨🌟⭐️✨. It is an instrumental but his message hits you on all levels. He spent the last 4 years of his life helping show others how and why to get sober. He always took time to help, encourage and inspire sobriety. Thanks for bringing this today✌️👋💯

Its always subjective when asking people who's the gretest guitarist, but for me it's Stevie Ray because he can shred or make you cry, his heart & soul is in every note and he plays what he feels so every performance is unique. Prince was top tier; so is David Gilmore, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, and Hendrix of course. But dont forget Glen Campbell and Roy Clark, who were mostly known as country artists but were amazing on acoustic (Campbell was part of the famous group of studio artists known as the Wrecking Crew before becoming a star in his own right, and he had a gorgeous voice too). But hands down, Stevie is my #1.

IMO, Stevie is one of the most gifted guitarists of all time, especially in the blues genre. You should endeavor to listen to all of the past and current greats who describe what they thought of Stevie. One living guitar legend, Eric Clapton was in awe of Stevie. Eric said that he had never seen a guitar player more at one with his ax than Stevie was. He said Stevie had the incredible ability to channel music from his mind and directly to his hands. Eric also said that Stevie was the only guitarist he knew that could play for very long periods of time without stopping to take a break. There is a story where Eric was invited to play in a concert that also included Stevie. Eric was the marquee player. Stevie played before Eric and when it came time for Eric to play he couldn’t bring himself to go on stage. When he was asked why he said, “How am I supposed to follow that?” There are many of the past greatest blues players such as Albert King and B.B. King that knew and played with Stevie and who praised his awesome talent. There are youtube videos of these men telling their stories about how much they respected and admired Stevie’s other worldly talent. Albert King was one of Stevie’s most influential mentors. There is a current blues guitarist and singer that doesn’t get enough recognition as being one of the very best blues players ever to play. That man is, Joe Bonamassa. Joe was a childhood phenom. He happened to have had the honor of sitting in with blues legend, B.B. King when he twelve years old. Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of Joe’s idles. The late great, Gary Moore was also one of Joe’s idles.
