And you do brother… keep It up KWS. We all love you

[@yvonned8930]

Saw Kenny Wayne play with Steve Vai & Joe Satriani . Best concert from some of the greatest guitarists and music maestros in the biz G3 Vancouver. Rest EZ Stevie Ray You were the best ! 🎸♥️✌🏽🔥💕🙏

[@aaron-dd5zr]

Good answer. Stevie was the guy who got me to look into Blues music history along with those great Alligator records tape cassette covers inside the cassette. Alot of history was inside those covers.

[@REBELSCL]

I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen both SRV and KWS…. Can you imagine them playing together?

[@amyhendricks3627]

🤯🤯🤯 would be epic for sure!

[@jeffrobodine1850]

Kenny Wayne Shepards Dad took him to see Stevie Ray Vaughan and put young Kenny Wayne up on his amp and the rest is history and you can tell the tone and style when you see Kenny Wayne play and now Kenny Wayne Shepards is badass period 💯💯👍👍😎

[@YogsenForfoth]

Stevie would be SO proud of the legacy Kenny has made for himself. Kenny nearly single-handedly carried the torch for the blues ever since Stevie died.

[@stephanea5364]

Which of his albums would you recommand

[@YogsenForfoth]

@@stephanea5364 Stevie Ray Vaughan or Kenny Wayne Shepherd?

[@YogsenForfoth]

@@stephanea5364 Kenny’s best albums are Ledbetter Heights and Trouble Is…

[@stephanea5364]

@@YogsenForfoth Thanks, man

[@Mr._Fit_Atheist]

I love Kenny, but I think Joe Bonamassa is pretty damn good torch bearer himself.

[@ColinRichards1]

SRV was a changing point in music

[@NinjaDefiler]

At doing what? Covering other people's music or stealing your entire sound and style from Albert king, Freddie king and Jimi hendrix?

[@robbsclassics]

​@@NinjaDefilerIt's called influences. All artists have them.

[@NinjaDefiler]

@@robbsclassics carbon copy does not equal "influence"

[@robbsclassics]

@@NinjaDefiler And how many artists do you know?

[@NinjaDefiler]

@@robbsclassics strawman argument and logical fallacy, completely irrelevant.

[@robertjackson7590]

The story I heard was KWS's dad was SRV's manager for a while. Kenny would go with his dad to some of the shows and a great influence on him. You can hear it in the way he plays.

[@billallen4793]

No his dad was involved with radio!

[@carloslastra822]

Gran guitarrista y Stevie Ray vaughan es el mejor de todos!!!🤗🤗🤗

[@jayteesgear]

I wanted to write KWS off for years but he loves playing and you can feel it. So I give him props. God bless brother Kenny🌅

[@robertbrown1839]

SRV was an asteroid to guitar playing

[@ReddBlues]

Me too. It was SRV who made me want to pick up the guitar. I didn’t have the privilege of seeing him live when I was little, it was the Crossfire music video on MTV.

[@ReddBlues]

And Kenny. I was inspired by his style of playing when Trouble Is came out and that he's only four years older than me.

[@jimbobshambles]

I think he was that for a lot of guitar players, I know he was for me.

[@jjkcharlie]

And you do, bro.

[@robbsclassics]

Wow, I saw KWS with Johnny Lang and BB King. I told a guy near me I was a SRV fan and I guess this is the closest I'd see to him play. Guy was at the last concert SRV played and saw my point, but said no one in the world will ever compare to SRV.

[@dominicmorones8314]

Man I had no idea Sanji was a SRV fan 😅

[@guitartim2128]

There are alot of KWS haters. I wonder if its jealousy or do they have a lack of talent? Both, maybe?? I was influenced by SRV when I was 13,along with Billy Gibbons,Jimi Hendrix,Robert Johnson,Freddie King_to name most of my top influences. I also like and respect Kenny Wayne.

[@Coda6766]

I'm sure SRV was a big influence on most guitar players today . I'll bet there's a bunch of kids right now being influenced by KWS. I've been taking lessons for a year and its not easy at all. It takes a lot of passion, practice and patience to get good on the guitar. There will always be the rare ones who go beyond all that and never limit themselves to be just 'good'.

[@vivianeprudentiabuelens9142]

Keep practicing 😊

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

Me too

[@donjohn2695]

Kenny wish's he had 1% of the talent Stevie had

[@sheamcfarland9156]

Don't we all?

[@bluezman2520]

🕶️🎸🤏🏾

[@jubyerhashin8214]

Why is he wearing a helmet?

[@streamtards966]

Stevie Ray was a superstar. All the rest are posers

[@jamescarr3895]

SRV is the greatest of all time and im not the only one who thinks so. Jimmy was great dont get me wrong, but who's version of Voodoo Chile sounds better, clearer, more passion? Class dismissed.

[@jamescarr3895]

And his sound.. i love ya brother but you took his sound. Thats blasphemy.

[@stewartwhitten9036]

Kenny waynes better than bonnamassa, bonnamassa plays pop blues

[@user-sx5ne3nd9y]

They both suck

[@donjohn2695]

Bonamassa is in another league to Kenny

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I pretty much can't stand Joe Bonamassa and Kenny Wayne Shepherd is my number one favorite musician, because of Stevie.

[@gabe6182]

Bonamassa would eat KWS for breakfast

[@user-sx5ne3nd9y]

That explains why he can only play srvs licks 😂🎉
