[@MrVvulf]

The famous story about Jimi lighting the guitar on fire has more depth than a lot of people realize. He was only starting to gain popularity, but he was not yet well known. He was staying with a girl who had lots of influential friends in the music industry, and she got him the gig where that happened. She invited lots of friends to make sure he had a good audience to grow his reputation, and get exposure. The guitar he lit on fire WASN'T his - it was loaned to him for the performance. He got in a lot of trouble with his friends for that.

@@MrVvulf He got the idea of setting his guitar on fire from Chas Chandler (The Animals bassist) who produced his first album and assembled the other musicians for The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

“There were guitar players weeping. They had to mop the floor up. He was piling it on, solo after solo. I could see everyone’s fillings falling out. When he finished, it was silence. Nobody knew what to do. Everybody was dumbstruck, completely in shock” - Vocalist Terry Reid recalls Hendrix’s 1966 show at London’s Bag O’Nails “I remember thinking that here was a force to be reckoned with. It scared me, because he was clearly going to be a huge star, and just as we are finding our own speed, here was the real thing” - Eric Clapton recalls Hendrix joining him on the stage of Portland Hall in Regent Polytechnic in 1966 to play an impromptu version of Howlin’ Wolf’s Killin’ Floor “I was just having a pre-gig pint in a pub across the road and in comes this guy who turns out to be Jimi Hendrix. Now, we had already heard about Jimi on the grapevine. Jimi came up to me and said: “Hi. I would like to sit in with the band”. I said it was fine with me but he’d obviously have to check it out with Eric and Ginger. So we went across to the gig, and Eric immediately said yes and Ginger said: “Oh, dunno about that” [laughs]. So he came on and plugged into my bass amp, and as far as I can remember he just blew us all away.” - Cream’s Jack Bruce

[@camerondougherty2415]

One of the ideas that goes around which I tend to agree with is that Jimi is undoubtedly more influential of a guitarist and pretty much wrote the book on modern electric guitar but SRV perfected it. They get compared a lot because Stevie covered some Jimi songs but they are pretty different honestly. Jimi has strong blues influences but was really discovering it as he went and was in the psychedelic rock era. Stevie is blues to his core and perfected his aggressive, cut to your soul playing style. In my opinion they are one and two all time and whoever I think is one depends on which side of the bed I wake up on that day. Both are perfect guitarists for what they wanted to be.

[@bdog01]

[@musicairplanes4884]

I look at SRV as the the best I have ever seen at letting the music flow through his hands and into the guitar. He never ties up no matter how intense it gets. I look at Hendrix as the greatest inventor of music I have ever seen. Regarding showmanship I have have to give the edge to Jimi.

[@VolkXue]

the trick is that had Hendrix got a chance to live he would have continued to innovate. SRV is the prince but Hendrix is king

[@lesliesylvan]

Right: "He wrote the book."

[@michaeldeanda7862]

SRV was having a conversation with Jimi thru his guitar. Its how he communicated with his inspiration on the other side.

[@fccrick]

Jimi will always be the "Goat", there may be better technical guitarists, more polished , what ever. but know this there are two times in Rock history, before Jimi and after Jimi. All rock/blues rock guitarist go back to Jimi as an influence. he made feedback cool. flash and style. Jimi could actually play left handed or right handed, he could flip the guitar from one to the other.

[@Will_Wel]

Really? I am a left-handed guitarist and would always use Jimi as an example when people used to tell me to play right-handed. But I never saw Jimi do it.

[@fccrick]

Will Wel Jimi’s father believed that left handed people had the devil in them so he bought Jimi a right handed guitar, Jimi would switch back and forth if his father came in while practicing, he could even play with the strings upside down. There’s an interview with Ronnie Wood who lived with for a while and he talks about him switching and that he could play either way equally well

[@Will_Wel]

@@fccrick I used to have to do the same thing when I first started playing. People kept trying to make me hold it right handed. (But I still couldn't play right-handed.) Then I would switch back to Lefty. People realized the error in their ways and stopped trying to make me switch to right-handed. Left-handed guitars were almost non-existent then. And even now they're hard to find and more expensive than right handed for the same model.

[@alansmith7626]

Jimi paved the way, and he loves on thru every single person that played or tried to play his music!

[@Will_Wel]

@deazy when I first started playing I had to borrow other people's guitars so yes I was playing with the fat E closest to the ground. Strung right-handed in other words. When I finally got my first guitar it was a right handed guitar we had restrung left-handed with the fat E on top. I had to relearn how to play (even though I wasn't that far along).

[@KevyNova]

Watch more Jimi videos. He played behind his back, behind his head, between his legs, with his teeth and more. Not just the greatest guitarist, but also the greatest showman on guitar.

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

SRV was heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix but Jimi probably never heard of SRV but there's no doubt that Jimi would have loved and appreciated SRV's style. The bottom line is, Jimi and Stevie were both extremely original and gifted guitarists and they were both the best at what they did..

[@827dusty]

Remember Jimi was playing his guitar upside-down and that also means he's playing all of the chords backwards and upside-down. That's how he had to learn as a left handed kid, on a right handed guitar at 9 yrs old. Self taught, Hendrix was like no one the rock world had ever seen before. Legends like Stevie Ray Vaughn idolized Jimi, and even dressed like him. Hendrix was the first to play with his teeth, and behind his his back. Seen for the first time in a British pub, the great Eric Clapton saw Hendrix play the Blues song "Killing Floor." Clapton was visibly shaken after Jimi's performance, and The Who's Pete Townsend said, "This guy is going to put us all out of business." Clapton was known as "God" in the Rock world, Hendrix just destroyed that myth in about 5 minutes. True story. It's in every Hendrix Biography, and admitted to by the people involved, including Eric Clapton. Jimi was the Best, and the first to do the shit he did, on an upside-down guitar. Seattle's own Jimi Hendrix is a Legend.

I would say Hendrix is the king. SRV is amazing, but as my dad used to say- "Hendrix never did covers of SRV songs..."

Lenny at the El Mocambo for example is an incredible example of Stevie's dynamics, technique and soul. They both covered songs too. Based on your imitator comment, what does that make Jimi then regardless of him changing things here and there just like Stevie did? I could also go on about how T Bone walker played behind the back of his head before Jimi did too? So is Jimi just a mere "imitator" as well?

[@ks5553]

I haven't seen anyone mention...that Jimi would play with like 5 hits of acid in his headband. He was literally in another world above the rest of the world

Jimi was first, but the old black blues players is where Jimi got playing with his teeth from. Side note at the festival no one wanted to play after him, he said if he was going on last he was pulling out all the stops. So his first American appearance as The Jimi Hendrix Experience was this legendary performance you just saw a portion of.

[@mikearodriguez44]

We wouldn’t be talking about SRV if it wasn’t for Jimi Hendrix the GOAT. SRV was playing stuff Jimi invented. Jimi was the first to do all those crazy things with his guitar. SRV was good, but he was just a clone of Jimi, even down to his clothes he wore. Without Jimi there wouldn’t be a SRV. Just look at Rolling Stone’s Top 100 guitar players, SRV didn’t even make the top 10.

[@southc4463]

Bruh everytime I wanna watch jimi play this version I gotta watch this vid, the look on your face when he starts that solo with his teeth sums up what jimi did to this world

[@davidfisher8821]

You’ve got to try Jimi’s Voodoo Child, it’s the ultimate guitar song, and yes, SRV does a hell of a rendition of it too. SRV may have perfected his technique to a higher level than Jimi, but Jimi was the song writer and creator. He developed all on his own. SRV picked up what Jimi originated and added a bit more flash and polish to it. It doesn’t take anything away from him, but without Jimi trailblazing the way, SRV would have been an entirely different player.

Love Stevie but he mostly ran pentatonic scale. Jimi was something else

[@mumbles215]

Jimi was on a whole other level, just as EVH was a decade later. I always had them one and two (Jimi first) but when Eddie passed, I watched a ton of vids, and as both were masters, I think I give the nod to EVH now. Both major influences on me since a child.

[@youreatoilet]

SRV was a blues guitarist on steroids, and incredibly capable of covering Jimi which is very hard to do. Jimi was an alien that came to earth picked up a stratocaster and flipped music upside down forever

[@humbertojimenez3475]

Remember, his headband was full of Owsley’s LSD. Along w 1/2 the crowd. Everyone on the same Acid, on the same music and in the same place...no wonder San Fran has such a creative boom for another 50 years.

[@scottsmith3940]

SRV was amazing! Jimmy did it with a upside down guitar. He's lefthand. Acid helps

[@lrwiersum]

Acid is real bonus. Being able to play well on acid is a gift.

[@edb6690]

Early on, Jimi couldn't afford to buy a left handed guitar so he had gotten quite comfortable playing with it upside down. To show how really talented he was, there are some early videos of him playing the guitar just flipped over no adjusting the strings. Later he would restring it like a normal setting even though the guitar itself was still upside down.

Stevie played little wing alot early in his career. Some really blistering versions.

Still not the fairest comparison, IMO. Stevie didn't sing the lyrics and he made it into a completely different song. The El Mocambo version is top their stuff though. Stevie wasn't on planet earth that night!! Voodoo is the better comparison. Either way, Stevie still found a way to make Hendrix's songs his own songs

[@subzero308]

Hendrix did everything SRV covered WAAY better. SRV and others put to much non needed notes in the songs. I get they're covers but meh they ruin them more then make them sound good.

[@_MOORE_1986]

Hendrix was around about a decade before SRV. SRV is my favorite, but SRV looked up to Hendrix and other Blues Musicians. Another thing Hendrix died at age 27 and SRV died just shy of his 36th birthday.

[@TJ-xs5bn]

I'm an old timer from the 60's. Growing up there were lots of live bands playing black clubs from Thursday night through Sunday night. I grew up in Chester, Pa when it was jumpin'. Not only was Chester jumping but the whole Philadelphia area had some outstanding black bands, Saw lots of cats who could play with their teeth, behind their backs, etc. It was an imitation of what Chuck Berry was doing back then. Although Chuck never played with his teeth he popularized other ways of playing his guitar. It was considered to be part of "the show". This was standard fare at the black clubs back then. Hendrix just exposed what was happening in black clubs to the rest of the world once he had an opportunity to let loose and play. He just killed it, period. But he wasn't the only brother doing his "thing". He was fortunate to meet Chas Chandler who took him to England and exposed him to the world. I'll stop here because if you weren't there, you'll never understand what I'm talking about.

[@andrealarocco4941]

Can everyone agree that Eric Clapton should be considered when talking about the BEST EVER? Jimi said Eric was his idol and vice versa. Plus Clapton had huge respect for SRV. I think you can say top 3, with the best player being whoever you’re feeling that day. ✌️💗😊

[@Will_Wel]

Clapton is a great guitarist. But I find him incredibly boring.

[@dylandenney3980]

Love Clapton but his technique is incredibly simple. He never plays a bad note tho he's the guy that can play a perfect solo having never heard the song. But I'd say Duane Allman for runner-up to Jimi. It's all personal taste tho. EVH is nowhere on any list of my GOATS but some ppl love him. Eddie Hazel is comparatively unknown but he's top 5 for me

[@killiansred1000]

Apples, oranges and pears. All good but different styles.

[@andrealarocco4941]

I don’t know if I’d say Clapton is boring or not an aggressive player. Obviously we’ve got to see his entire career and I think if you look at “everything” he’s done. It’s pretty freakin impressive. And yes I agree Duane Allman was amazing. As far as my fav players right now that I’ve seen, it would have to be Derek Trucks, Luther Dickinson, Jimmy Herring, Warren Haynes, and a few others. I don’t want to hate on anyone or say these guys are brilliant this is just what I’m into and they make music that makes me boogie! ✌️💗😊

Break on Through should be his first. Then Light My Fire, I'm Gonna Love You, and then... The End. It makes me a little sad sometimes when reviewers only get to a band's big hits, rather than a deeper cut that is more quintessentially them. Like when they do Tom Sawyer by Rush, when they should have started with La Villa Strangiato, studio version from Hemispheres.

[@l.A.0]

@@klaptongroovemaster yeah, mr. video should definitely react to the original uncensored version of "break on through" and the original long version of "light my fire" but before all that, he needs to experience "when the music's over," "not to touch the earth," "the end" and "five to one"
