Everyone talking about SRV as a guitar player, but he actually also was an amazing singer.

[@wilkstheguitarman3103]

I would pay a large sum of money to go back and see him, can't imagine how great it must've been

[@kervinrodriguez1833]

Taner Yes ,amazing soulful voice .

[@crisprtalk6963]

agreed

[@gogigogic1936]

I don't agree.

[@gregvincenavarrete8916]

Yes, he is a very good singer.

[@stringslinger6]

You wanna play like Stevie? Live with a guitar in your hands every waking moment of the day. Ignore everything else. Jam as often as possible. Hang around other guitar players and watch them. Do what other, better players are doing and emulate them. Live, sleep, eat and breath guitar, 24-7!

[@steveb9325]

This person found the formula. I'm up to playing right to when I crash. My wife doesn't like waking up to me spooning with my guitar. Working on that.....

[@MindDezign]

And wash dishes in a restaurant, fall in a barrel of used cooking grease...and quit...

[@rumblewolf2999]

Someone should make a video of how to play like you. You ain't too shabby yourself.

[@ildikobiro5921]

Isnt life strange. This guy plays like this and fights for views and some numbskull does a stupid little dance like the floss and gets millions of views. Humans have become rabid consumers of everything easy to digest without having to pass thru your brain. Like the baby that watches the carousel over his crib and clapping and laughing each time it makes a noise. That is now the adult world we live in.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Stevie is easily the 3 most important Guitarists to me personally, I got into guitar just to get his tone. It's absolutely unparalleled and unmatched to this day. A legend gone too soon.

[@crowhaven200]

I have no idea why people want to slam your playing. It irritates me. Great playing and video. I enjoyed it and will use it to keep on learning. And no, none of us are SRV, or Jimi. But tips on technique help me a lot. Thank you.

[@teej783]

If SRV came back from the dead there would be people slamming him. It's just the way they are.

[@briwatson5932]

Stevie did 2 things... He either made you want to pick up a guitar and dedicate your life to it, or stop playing for life!

[@BelowAverageGuitarist]

Stevie was unquestionably great. What I love the most about him, is he was an original. He was inspired by others yeah, but he didn’t try to bite their style. His power AND finesse was crazy. We’re all lucky to have had such a great musician bless us with his music

[@usefulvidiots7869]

His power, strength and stamina.

[@csi2448]

Useful Vidiots I've got Stevie Vai hands, so my hands hurt just watching Stevie play. I can hear my left hand saying, "don't even think about it!"

[@ciaranw520]

I understand what you're saying, but he would literally play Albert King licks note for note..

[@BelowAverageGuitarist]

He was inspired by Albert King, no doubt. In fact id even say he idolized him. A lot of Albert King licks are only 2-3 notes to begin with, though. There is a lot of AK stuff I haven’t dissected, but it seems to me that SRV had better chops and a more extensive lick vocabulary. That being said, there are only so many notes and licks you can play in any given key. Besides, they loved and respected each other and that’s beautiful. Both are great as far as I’m concerned

[@ciaranw520]

@@BelowAverageGuitarist Without doubt my man. He did idolise him. SRV without doubt had better chops and a more extensive lick library. I just mean that so many of SRVs best solos are built around that Albert King, second box, bend/release lick that it would be odd to say that he didn't bite into another artists style, because more often than not, they were copied note for note. Having said that, like you said in your original comment, his power was crazy. He did those Albert King licks - albeit the same note for note - with more power. Also on higher gauge strings! The extra gain he used probably helped too.

[@michaelharacopos6550]

not enough comments acknowledging this mans crazy talent. That ending solo was bad ass you killed it

Nice explanation of all the techniques involved - well done. These music breakdowns are the best way into the "heart" of the actual piece. More please ...

Guitar Pilgrim, it is a pleasure with you ☺️ thank you for putting it down so straight. And thank you using YT; so everybody can put it down easily.

[@alfiehenshall688]

One thing i'v noticed Thom when various people describe Stevies tone is that they forget to mention that Stevie often played in the 'in between ' p/ups -i.e neck & middle position. He doesn't on numbers like 'so exciting' - often played on neck p/up. You played that VERY like Stevie ! If i close my eyes i would swear it was Stevie 👍😉🎸😎

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

It's all in the right hand. Stevie's right hand was a constant sledgehammer. Songs like Rude Mood and Pride and Joy and Cold Shot are as much about the right hand as the left. I never really even thought about it because as a teenager I just copied him so much but I was playing around an older guy and he was seeing me play Pride and Joy and he was like "Man how do you keep your right hand doing like that???" and I was like "well I never really thought about it...." but it's all in the right hand. John Mayer also said "you might capture that intensity of Stevie for a few moments a night but Stevie MAINTAINED that intensity and that's the difference!" Very true words.
