Hey man can I recommend something to cover? Red hot momma by parliament , the version from the osmium album 💯

[@ericwatler23]

You did awesome 🎸

[@roblarson9065]

Great cover! Now you just need his Dumble Amp to push it further.

[@markbrooks6427]

I was hugely skeptical anyone could pull off a half-decent rendition of Riviera Paradise but you Sir have literally blown my mind. Maximum Respect.

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers Mark!

[@benjaminstorez2460]

I totally agree ! 🎉🎉🎉

[@jameslewis4697]

Was just searching my history for one of Sean's renditions which blew my mind last week, forgot all his videos blow my mind and they just keep getting better

[@glennmartin4232]

Awesome Sean. When I hear this tune it makes you wonder what Stevie would have been writing today. He was only 35 when we lost him. It’s so cool that his music lives on.

[@seanmannguitar]

Totally! I definitely think he would have explored more jazz elements. Wish we could have heard more of what he had to offer

[@glennmartin4232]

@@seanmannguitar It’s so cool that you obviously love SRV. Your technique is so good. There can never be enough SRV influenced players, I’m one myself but you are right at the top. I just bought a 64 super reverb black face. I cut the head off and run it into a 15 inch JBL. Incredible tone when cranked above 5. I look forward to more of your vids mate.

[@hendrixhendrix9368]

Amen! Srv Is the best Blues rock ever!

[@richfender6089]

You're playing is so good and such a beautiful sound and inspiring as well! Thanks!

[@alejandroperezdonis831]

wow 4:54 that technique and beautiful articulation

[@ross102591]

Been drumming for over 40 years. I can't even imagine how fun it would be to play/gig with you. Way to go brother.

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers man!

[@danielhesson4517]

I’m the biggest SRV fan besides you. Brother this is the only song I want played at my funeral. I’ve listened to this song Thousands of times. I’m a guitar player myself and you fucking nailed it man. Blew me away. Simply pardon my language fucking amazing! All the songs you do are spot on. Truly an inspiration. Keep rockin brother. God bless you!

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers man!

[@jackmeens2758]

It's a gift that you have immortalised your talent by sharing it on here. Simply incredible playing

[@josereyes8571]

The best cover pf this song in YT bro. Insane!!!

[@gunner72450]

Sir, you play so well... You HONOR Stevie Ray with your renditions of his music!!! True to the last note... you're AMAZING.

[@seanmannguitar]

Thank you kindly!

[@davegilmer_Storyville4Life]

You should already be a household name…you are in my home for sure brother!🙌

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers!!

[@emannaquilina6331]

i seldom comment...but you left me speechless... your playing of this tune is so calming...almost sacred!!

[@seanmannguitar]

[@imrikeinan9955]

The best guitarist on KZbin for sure

[@seanmannguitar]

🙏

[@frankymcdonald7176]

Best SRV live show imo. this is where I learnt all my Stevie songs from. Note for note.

[@seanmannguitar]

One of his best for sure

[@RonanKilroy]

Phenomenal playing. Got your course. So good. Highly recommend it.

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks a lot!!

[@andrewshaw3373]

Missed this one. Was just telling my brother in law yesterday that it is not often that someone can emulate SRV, or anyone of that talent for that matter, but there's a North East lad who can. You certainly can mate. Class man

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers Andrew!

[@jimilee459]

Just fantastic, you make it look so effortless. This is a such a great song. My brother and I played it at a New Years show just before his unfortunate passing. Thank you for such a wonderful memory.

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers Jimi! Glad to bring back those memories

[@anderalonsozarate3175]

If Stevie saw this video wouldn’t believe it for perfection in terms of execution, tone, articulation, precision... simply impressive, as always. 🫶🏽

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks a lot!

[@otterlabastie2877]

A true bona fide master of his craft. Insane

[@RetCAleo-fo1ib]

Amazing, thank you for that. I could listen to that all day.

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks for listening

[@bluesmau69]

great playing Sean.... :) with Lenny...another of my favorite music piece.

[@iamhere444]

I came just walking home from the subway listening to Riviera Paradise and thinking about how incredible it would be to play the piano solo on guitar, and just a few minutes later discovered this. Coincidence? This is exactly what it should sound like, what a great job. I'm entirely impressed. Very difficult song to play.

[@jeffrey7663]

Just when i was getting sick of single coil teles and strats...ì was thinking humbuckers ...Les Paul ect. Watching and listening to you made me love. The sound of a strat...ì had almost forgotten...

[@richb.4374]

What a beautiful tribute to SRV. Sean, you are one hell of a great guitarist!

[@chrisvarns2859]

One of my all time favorite SRV songs... I both approve and love your artistic liberties with this version.

[@TheGreatBlackBird]

Amazing playing like always. I read that SRV thought up this tune on his own, alone in the studio, after a full day of recording for the album. Crazy.

[@pagurovenetochecelhaduro]

That strat is so fucking beautiful

[@Markkxs]

What a fantastitc feel touch and tone, pure soul man

[@anthonycacharron]

Amazing cover ! Particularly loved how you covered the key part. Thank you for sharing !

[@kingstonlaw8889]

SRV would smile watching this cover in heaven

[@Samrat_guitar]

Sir, there are no words to describe how beautiful Riviera Paradise is and you just paid a speechless tribute to the man himself ❤️.

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks man! May do a lesson on this in future

[@fromcodex]

my fav srv song

[@walterbarkhuysen-tacke548]

Ohw man.. guess you've got it all.. talent, tone, style, class. Stunning. Impeccable. Soothing.

[@seanmannguitar]

🙏

[@grbggaming6885]

Wow. Just wow. Any Stevie Ray is incredibly difficult to pull off, let alone this song done live at Austin. I am truly impressed! Really well done!

[@samlabastie3421]

how you also played Reese's organ solo so amazingly proves the absolute channel of music that flows from those fingers. so mean and so clean Mr. Mann, please don't ever stop

[@seanmannguitar]

🙏

[@Gazmie]

Insanely accurate and dexterous fingers. I play this song every night whilst I fall asleep and this cover is amazing! Such a calming and meaningful song. R.I.P SRV

[@carlquance2542]

Very special guitarist … so musical, so gifted. Stevie would tip his hat Sean .

[@robertreid4451]

Love both strats and teles. They each have areas where they outshine the other. Both are versatile and it's hard to say which is best that's why I have both.

[@seanmannguitar]

If in doubt, get both!

[@captain4420]

Another great cover. Love your playing. I’ll be there one day I mean I’m pretty good right now but I’ll get to your level someday.

[@bronte11111]

Wow. Nothing short of amazing. Absolutely incredible!

[@yellowsnout]

That's a 9 minute run of excellence.

[@David-pj6pz]

Finally i found a master that SRV would be proud of your a modern day mentor thank you so much for your talent and sharing you MADD SICK skills !!!

[@joeljohnson5576]

i just loved how you put in the piano solo as guitar solo❤️🔥

[@barnezy2214]

Great job. I love listening to your playing

[@thq4941]

One of the most beautiful pieces of guitar music I've ever heard given sublime justice here. Thank you Sean.

[@gueroloco8687]

As always Sean you have the basic structure of the song there, but man alive you killed that song, just simply amazing and unique!!!

[@dougreed9843]

You have captured IT. I am so glad you came up on my listing tonight. That can only be described as awesome, i wish I new a grander word that satisfies the joyous expression you have captured in this song, its one of my favorites by the legend that is SRV. RIP my brother, your gracious music you bestowed upon us will not be forgotten in the artist that revere your love for the Lady we all love the sweet tones of her melodies we shall playing on temperance of you. The strat is that guitarist Lady we love. There are some fine ladies out there but the blued has fully been grasped in the heart. The theory comes with great ease the pain has to be attached to comprehend her rhythm.

[@MarkScheffler]

And your Strat is a dream!

[@Mani-xx4fz]

No words, like & instant sub here! 🤘

[@1Billyon]

Mesmerizing Magical & Mind blowing!!! 🤯

[@etype24]

Keep pushing your learning Sean and open your mind to new ideas. Would love to hear music that your own ear creates too. Brilliant playing, sadly never saw SRV live but you are channeling him in my view

Amazing performance Sean, even improvising the Reese Wynans solo.... fantastic, never seen that been played on guitar, must have took a lot of work. Well done,also the tone is perfect.👋

[@seanmannguitar]

Reeses parts were a killer haha, makes you think about it differently transcribing another instruments parts

[@simonnaji]

The best cover of the ACL version I've heard. You really capture the spirit, and your dynamics are wonderful.

[@wolfnstrings]

Always loved this song. You definitely did it justice.

[@glennmartin4232]

Sean I’ve watched this quite a few times. Your technique is flawless. So articulate with immense feel. Smooth as cream. I’m so jealous. Wow, jaw dropping. Let’s here some of your tunes.
