[@tjhorne82]

Mr. Video, you should check out SRV playing "Look At Little Sister" with Jeff Healey. Jeff is blind and these two together rock out. Jeff was also the guitarist in the movie Roadhouse.

I saw him live, twice. I couldn't even look at my guitar for a month afterward.... I didn't feel worthy of even touching it.

I was just thinking that I wish I could from watching him and Jimi Hendrix for the first time tonight on this channel.

Eric Clapton could only watch for 5 min. said if he'd had stayed he'd would have quit playing! BB KING thought he was black. said he was the darkest white man we ever saw.

Mr. Eric Clapton has said, when he plays a guitar, he has to think about where he is going next on the neck, He has said that SRV did not have to do that, He Just Flowed, without thinking, This is coming from one of the worlds best guitar players, That Says It All, Eric Clapton gave up his seat on the helicopter that night to SRV, at Alpine Valley, because Stevie said he had to get back to Chicago Quick to do some Business, Eric complied, if he did not we would have lost Eric, It is a Cryin shame we lost anyone that night, RIP,.......

Aside from being such good friends! Another tid bit... Stevie had his whammy bar put on top like Jimi had his... even though Jimi actually played a right handed guitar left handed! RIP to those 2 Greatest guitarist ever! Randy Rhoads is included! Okay... Top three! The Best died young!

SRV is the ONLY celebrity that ever made me cry when he died. He was JUST getting started! He was always my favorite, even early days when he was Boo'd at a blues festival in Canada. I've disliked Canada ever since.

What's amazing is that he takes a very famous song from an Icon (Jimi) and makes it his own. That and the fact that he almost never even looks at his guitar. What Jimi did was so unique, that no one could do it justice. Along comes SRV (RIP) and salutes Jimi with a homage. True Craftsmanship. Thanks Mr. Video

[@rickl1401]

Out of HS my buddy was stationed down at Ft. Hood, not far from Austin. He reached out to me and told me he just saw the greatest guitar player in the world at a club in Texas. Within a year SRV blew up like crazy and everyone knew him. I saw him live 4 times including once with his brother. Sickest performances. My buddy got to see him b4 he was even famous. Im still jealous

[@chrishowell199]

It's hard to find words when witnessing this level of talent. I can only think of a few others that were this one with their guitar.

[@TwistedSither]

There's no denying Stevie Ray's skill, when it comes to playing guitar. But, just listen to Tommy Shannon's bass.

[@andrewobrien6282]

Tommy set the pace. And straight killed it every time he played. Gotta be a superstar bass player to be SRV's bass player.

[@drew65sep]

Lol, yup...I've always wondered how humble the REST of the men and women are that get up and play with musical prodigies, regardless of instrument. I don't play any instrument, but I'd suppose I'd consider myself lucky if I were in such a position. But, those like Hendrix and SRV weren't prodigies, they were inventors doin stuff never done before. And yeah...we ARE all lucky. RIP my brothers.

[@karolcline9079]

Jimi Hendrix plays and sing Little wings. I love the lyrics and song!

[@shirleybuffington6420]

If you want to see him play like crazy and sing Check out either life without you live at the Capital Theater or Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland that one is a class in the blues either one you will love and looking forward to your reaction to either one.

[@susanbenson4201]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ SRV is the master, watching him manipulate his guitar and take you with him on a journey, it's hypnotic, every note and tone washing through yourself body, you are now a follower, I bow to Stevie's unhinged talent 🤯🙏

[@terrybarton1604]

Stevie Ray was such a special guitarist so special, absolutely breathtaking at times. Definitely sits at the top table for sure.A wonderful musician ☘

[@BluenoserJo]

Guitarists of Stevie's otherworldly ability have mastered the techniques so perfectly, they don't have to think about what they're playing, they are actually speaking through their guitar. This is why they make the faces and shapes with their mouth, and often, if you pay attention, the mouth shape mimics the sound. A perfect example of this is at 04:01 when Stevie hits the wah pedal and we get a close-up of him, you can actually see his mouth silently say "wah wah wah wah". There's just so much to talk about when it comes to his playing, but I prefer to just get lost in the amazingness of it. 🎸😀 RIP Stevie 💔

[@amandapanda1010]

Becomes even more magical when you know the original lyrics💖 "Well she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind that's running round Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams And fairytales 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 said, it's alright Take anything you want from me Anything Fly on, little wing" Perfection. Continuing with SRV, definitely recommend Lenny, Life Without You from the Capitol Theater in '85, Tin Pan Alley, Riviera Paradise, Dirty Pool has such a dope beat and is underrated imo...I mean I recommend anything and everything lol, it's not like you can go wrong with anything he did😌💜

[@bobbyfan418]

I agree with Lenny being a must hear. Video or not, it's worth the time.

[@baird5776mullet]

There'll NEVER be another brother like SRV.

You should check out ALBERT KING IN SESSION WITH STEVIE RAY VAUGHN doing "DON'T LIE TO ME " Albert was Stevie's godfather and they really admired each other. You will see it if you watch, you'll see Stevie's abilities to, he's never played that song but as Albert starts playing you'll see him pick up just by listening! It's a great session to watch 💜💜💜

I personally believe STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN was just a very special Man with a God Gifted Talent that we are not meant to understand 💜 I've watched a lot of his documentaries and I've read articles about him and I think he knew from a very young age he was just meant to play the guitar. I read that as a little boy he slept with his guitar. He loved it so much. Very very few people are blessed like he was. To watch him and know how difficult he had his Guitar set up to play and to know he played with his fingertips literally glued back on!!!!! Just unreal. I LOVE STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN 💜 his life story is bone chilling. Thank you so much for your great SRV reactions much love to you brother 😘😘😘

[@miketeeveedub5779]

I remember in an interview Stevie said it was Jimi Hendrix that made him want to learn the guitar. It shows! SRV is one of the few guitarist that did Jimi justice. It's not just that he's technical, he has soul. His playing is so mesmerizing and emotional that it brings tears to the eyes. The world lost such a great musician that terrible day back in August 1990. RIP SRV. BTW - the one thing people may miss in this performance is Stevie uses a left hand bridge whammy bar on his Number #1 guitar. That's because Jimi had to use a right-handed bridge whammy bar because they didn't make one for left handed guitarist back in the 60s. That's how Stevie paid homage to Jimi's playing style. Now that's dedication to the craft!

[@chrisdelibera3445]

[@Teresia12]

SRV has been known to play past what was to be the end of the concert. He has played so long that his callouses were coming off his fingers. He went back stage and found super glue and glued his callouses back on and continued to play. If a man has ever looked at a woman the way he looks while playing his guitar she would be the luckiest woman ever.

[@Donnagilbert6497]

He asked me if I had any super glue after a concert. I know I looked at him like he was crazy, then he explained. He was so humble and kind. I miss him.❤️Donna G

This is a Jimi Hendrix song and SRV kills it. Jimi did this song so well also. I miss both of them, their music was so good. Eric Clapton has called SRV the best guitar player in the world, he also gave that honor to Prince after SRV passed. SRV makes his guitar talk, outstanding! Don't be such a rookie, Mr. V., you gotta learn to let SRV go and deal with the stimulation overload. Clapton said SRV was a channeled guitar player who never made mistakes or got lost. That is high praise coming from the most technical of all guitar players. He is switching or making adjustments to his amps, adding fuzz tone.

[@brentwunderlich4634]

The way he plays is not just something you learn, its from the inside for sure. All the emotion just flowing when he plays. Its an extension of himself basically. He doesnt think about it. He just does it
