JUSTiN'S WORLD can you react to “give it away” by Red Hot Chili Peppers? I just subbed btw!

[@dboutte36]

JUSTiN'S WORLD “wild thing” by Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey pop festival is the best video to react to by Jimi on KZbin. He lights his guitar on fire and smashes it.

[@BuffaloC305]

Hendrix - like most of the '60s and early '70s performances were castrated by crappy sound-systems, mixboards, etc. I've thought SRV's tributes to Hendrix were his way of attempting to rectify the loss of future generations to that outstanding music.

[@destinyreelly2974]

I can’t imagine what it feels like to be that connected to something and yet so free at the same time. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

[@rullmourn1142]

Guitar strings were like heavy cables, he would bend them 1/2 inch, his fingertips had 1/4 inch thick callouses on them. He played like he was wired into his guitar, he lived in my city, Austin, and we loved him well.....LEGEND.

[@kathleensilverman7959]

Stevie's talent is beyond comprehension, for most humans. Thank you for "getting it", and your nuanced, articulate, expressive description. He was a kind hearted, wonderful human being with a singularly unique gift from God. Gone too soon. The greatest of all time.

[@drewcook2445]

I never get tired of listening to SRV. There have been many greats on the guitar but SRV is on another level. He had some otherworldly abilities. He was able to use his guitar to reach in and grab your soul. Thank you Stevie! RIP

[@elcarto22]

There is no one comparable to SRV. The great Eric Clapton once said he could only listen and watch Stevie for one or two songs before he had to leave or he would never be able to play a guitar again. Stevie was that amazing.

[@kurtfox4944]

At kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGmog5WleMyDbLs He is finger-tapping, and looking bored. This is what they say made Eddie Van Halen. Old boring stuff to SRV. Stevie, make that guitar sing. Imagine Hendrix 20 years after Monterrey Pop. EVH be quaking

[@georgeshaw8925]

SRV was a once in a lifetime phenomenon, they’ll never be another like him. He could literally tell you any emotion with that guitar. Gone way too soon, I shutter to imagine what other music would be in our souls if he was still alive.

SRV is my favorite performer of all time, in his very short life he impacted the music industry so much that it's still feel today. I read and seen some of the best guitar players say that they dream of the day they can play at half his skill. He continues to influence people even today in many ways including to get sober and it's TRUE that you can say sober! His man was even afraid after he got sober that he wouldn't be able to play at the level that he did before. My self think he was just as good that last song he play with so many of his friends as the early years. I will alway love his music, today people write and sing hoping to for a #1 hit! He just played and open up his heart and hoped he was loved! He lived breathed every thing about his music and it shows in ever more. Ur right he could feel it all the way to his soul because it was his soul he was allowing us to hear thru the strange of that so famous guitar!!!! God bless SRV and thanks for allowing us what very little time we had with him. cherish every moment because you're not promised the next second!!!!!

Once he added Reese Wynans to work the keys, that was the icing on the cake. Super tight band and all of them just as soulful as Stevie.

[@jeffnichols6448]

Got to meet Stevie and all of Double Trouble and they were the nicest, down to earth people. Reese Wynans (who had just joined h band at that point in time) sat down with me and we talked for almost an hour. Even Stevie took the time to chat with me and discuss guitar. It's a memory I'll always cherish.

[@jeffnichols6448]

That's not sweat dripping off Stevie, that's pure liquid soul. There is no filter between his heart and his fingers. I still get chills watching him play. If I could have even a tiny bit of his soul in my playing, I could die happy. G.O.A.T.? You're goddamn right.

[@bhobo09]

[@RMLtiger]

There are many amazing guitarists. There are guys who were/are really technical and fast. There are guys with great feel and soul. In my opinion SRV was the most well rounded guitarist with soul, speed, vibrato and technical perfection all in one. Just watch how he rarely ever looks at his guitar and never misses a note. I compare him to Michael Jordan because he was born with a gift, loved his craft and worked harder than anyone else. That’s what made them both the G.O.A.T.!!!

[@jidypowell8783]

You are so right. Eric Johnson is a good example. Tech genius but no soul at all. I have seen both. I enjoyed Eric but you don't feel him in your whole body and soul like you do SRV.

[@Subatomic_Glue]

Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan are the only two guitarists that I've experienced in my life that you actually feel like their soul is speaking to you through their guitar playing. The way they played guitar was so beautiful to watch because you really feel like they are speaking their absolute truth to you. You can't fake that, I think that's why you can connect so deeply with it. It's also exhausting in some ways because they pour so much of themselves into their playing. That's why I think Stevie sweat so much, there's so much emotion and soul being channeled into his playing. This is what music is all about.

[@elizabethluker8356]

You, my friend, just witnessed perfection! How does it feel?!!!!! 😉

[@LevWrldBetr]

I grew up listening to all the 70s & 80s guitarist because my step-dad is a guitarist and would practice all the top guys &!play gigs every weekend. when he saw SRV play in a dive bar in Austin the 1st time, he was hooked, he said he’d never seen anybody play w/ feeling the way SRV did. I graduate college w/ an older lady at the time that remembered a teenager living on her couch in Austin who played for different bands that needed a guitarist. She said he slept w/ his guitar at his side. Her husband also a local guitarist told her this kid was going to be big one day. So you were right, it was a guitar relationship! I never saw it like that but it had to be!

[@jesseslash]

You said something absolutely brilliant at 6:03, “who knew that a song with no lyrics, really had lyrics. You just had to be able to sound it out.” That’s brilliantly insightful.

[@ewawyso2052]

The only one who played guitar like this was Jimmy Hendrix. He started it... then SRV followed his footsteps. Some even say, the student passed his master.

[@herrbonk3635]

You can just feel the emotions when ye played. From his heart to his hands. To his guitar. Out the amp. To my ears.

[@ColinRichards1]

I was typing a comment his ability to fly around that guitar. Then you touched on it.That talent only comes from decades of constant dedication. I have friends(No where as talented) but have had the same life long passion for guitar. Its really is a connection with the guitar, 90% of the greatest guitarist i have even seen live, all perform with a guitar that is older. Becuase of its tone, feel, or what ever it is. They respect it and guitarists look at their guitar collection as almost a member of the band due to how much of a role it plays in the music. He had many guitars but his SRV insignia guitar is probably his most iconic. It also helped that he had giant strong hands. Dacades ago my father(not a small man in any respect) ran into SRV and he said "it was the first time I remember the physical hand shake" he said he felt like a child shaking a grown mans hand. It doesn't make you a better guitarist, but having good tools always makes creating easier. A sharp chisel cuts better, his hands allowed him to easier perform the maneuvers he envisioned.

[@richarddixon4303]

Love it when Stevie drops his right hand....and plays a whole fuckin riff with one hand..doesn't even strum the strings and the guitar is still singing. The man is pure talent, an open channel for music that walked on two feet.

[@rlewis8821]

I had the pleasure/privilege to watch him live many moons ago... I'd been partying for a while, and when Stevie started playing I sobered up. I'd never heard anything like it (...still haven't). By the time he played Texas Flood everybody was mesmerized. Eric Clapton said Stevie Ray didn't play, he just channeled the music. I think that's about right...

[@larannar123]

Stevie started in Dallas,Tx.,playing anywhere he could get a gig,he was so poor at the time,that the club owners would let him sleep on the pool tables after a long night of playing..😊 That Fender Stratocaster was given to him by a Guitar shop owner,after Stevie would come in several times just to plug it up and play it..Story goes Owner was so impressed he gave him the guitar and said "now you can stop coming in everyday and bugging me about it.."😂😂

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble in summer of 89(iirc) at Sacramento Community Center Theater. Three rows from the front(not including the cover orchestra pit) and dead center. I was in awe. Especially when he came up to the front of the stage and sat on the edge to play Riviera Paradise. I'm surprised my eyes didn't pop out of their sockets trying to see just how his hands were moving on that guitar. But you could've shut your eyes and felt the soul in that music.

[@avalondreaming1433]

Stevie was a true Texas gentleman as well. I went to an album signing at a music store in Dallas in the mid 80's. There were so many people there that Stevie didn't have time to sign for everyone as his manager was telling him to leave. Stevie said that he at least wanted to shake every person's had that has come out. And that's what he did. So, I never got an autograph but I did shake his hand. He had HUGE hands, like baseball mitts, lol.

Great guitar players often take their music and style somewhere nobody else has gone. Originality has the sound of magic and if you enjoy what the performer is doing, they can take you somewhere you’ve never been. Was Stevie the best? Good question but I don’t think there is a technically correct answer. He was awe inspiring, entertaining to watch, and certainly great. If you listen to a lot of Hendrix, you can hear where some of his inspiration came from and the rest is just him. “The rest” is what makes him great, Jimi laid the ground work, Stevie took it further.

I openly wept when I heard he'd passed. It took a long, long time before I listened to music again but I eventually found a singer who affected me the way his playing did, one who brought me joy. Her name was Amy. I'll listen to some Steely Dan and/or Donald Fagan sometimes or play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on my guitar but the thrill is gone (!) and I don't really even want it back. Nothing can compete with what I can replay in my mind. Seeing his effect on you as you listened made us brothers, Justin. I'd never seen you before and may never see you again but I don't feel as alone now. Peace.

Lost his at the age of 35 in a helicopter crash. Little Wing and VooDoo Child were Hendrix songs but, I like SRV versions better.
