[@Se7enFootNinja]

You are right, my friend. "#1" was an extention of him and that guitar should have been buried with him too. They don't make musicians/guitar players with this much soul and integrity, these days anymore. SRV played REAL guitar!!! Guitar players these days use too many effects, stomp boxes, and digital pedals to try to make their music sound good. I think using too much digital effects ruins the music, to a degree (definitely makes live shows SUCK when they don't play real instrument and just jump around on stage with a microphone). Today, music awards go to folks like, "Pharrell Williams" who thinks they are actual musicians by pressing buttons on a computer/effects processor and making a few beats with a drum machine (SMH,). SRV is what we use to call, "real RAW talent".

SRV is the greatest guitarist to ever walk the earth, hands down. nobody could interface with a guitar like that man did. it was like a part of his body. people love to show off technical skill and talk about how fast they can play this and that, SRV could do all that but didn’t maximize how technically difficult something was, he just put all of his soul into making his music as mind blowing as it is. nobody could, or can currently, play guitar as well as SRV could, period.

Watch Jimmi hendrix the person he copied. Jimmi played this and is way better

[@tammyandersen9852]

I am AMAZED, watching this genius of guitar 🎸, his hands are everywhere and effortlessly it looks,amazing how those hands (fingers ), always find their mark🎸🎸

So happy to be sitting here on the shores of Lake Winnipeg in the cool, cool weather, in my cozy house sipping on a glass of my favorite cheap wine and listening to Stevie Ray doing Voodo Chile...

Love the look on the drums face at 29s when Stevie changes the riff he is like wtf. Then he quickly realizes it SRV he can do whatever he wants then he smiles.

[@darbilawson2760]

sean consack yep

[@efreeze287]

Not really sure what that look was about because Stevie consistently does random and different shit, spur of the moment, and Chris (the drummer) and Tommy Shannon on bass do an incredible job staying with him. They're a fantastic rhythm section that often goes unnoticed but I guess that's too be expected with a lead guitarist like srv

[@stevexxl777]

Back in the late 90's my brother Nick named me Showny Ray Vaughan cause I play and my name is Shawn but spelled cein!! I consider it an honor having this name. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the best in my eyes I miss him dearly R.I.P brother!!!

[@cncronin]

Stunning, one of the best SRV & DT performances I've seen.... the guitar virtuoso, the vocals, DTs rythym section.... this works on all levels. And Stevie's tone... just surreal.

[@johnalexander1517]

This guy never stops amazing me. Truly believe he is one of the absolute best to ever play! The power and emotion he plays with is just crazy.

[@nikjames2965]

Savage, gut wrenching. I have to writhe and squirm when he plays this.. and I'm a Grandpa!

[@7donc]

I saw him in 1985 on Long Island. He opened with Voodoo Chile. So good it gave me goose bumps.

[@callmesceptical9114]

Damn! SRV had freakish kinda talent. God bless him!!

[@pierrezendrich4895]

This never ceases to amaze me...the more I see it the more I realise that SRV is simply a precious gift sent to our music world for a period way too short...simply put a jewel and a privelege to have seen him perform and heard his guitair playing....

[@MrPoke292]

The way he switches from bridge pickup to neck pickup while he is soloing is just f'ing badass. Never picked up on that(pun unintended)

[@paulrichards132]

If anyone deserved to play Hendrix it is Stevie...Total respect....Jimi would be proud

What a legend and a Boss. Such a kind and wonderful gentleman as well. Amazing SRV Thank you.

[@wecandobetter9821]

Lucky enough to see SRV and Double Trouble early 80’s. My only regret is not bringing any ear protection😂

[@BunneRabb]

I met Stevie, briefly, while working the Serious Moonlight tour rehearsals in Las Colinas, TX, just before he quit the tour. His whole setup was a Fender Twin, a Mesa Boogie, and an A/B switch. All that amazing tone was just Stevie.

[@theodoregomez8025]

Stevie Ray was ascending the throne of Hendrix when he left us. What a tremendous exciting talent and master of the electric guitar. All of us guitar pickers bow to the master blaster Hendrix, but Stevie Ray was blazing a trail of his own. He would have been the man. Dam just think what we have missed with the loss of his talent.

[@bobbygrey5859]

It still haunts me that I gave my ticket to my girlfriend's co-worker when he played Hill auditorium in Ann Arbor the summer just before the helicopter crash. She, my GF said I missed ok be heck of a show. He is one of my favorites and since his death I never miss going to see any of my favorite musicians perform because tomorrow is not promised to us. So now I take nothing for granted. Miss ya SRV

[@mvwoon]

Thank you recording engineers and mixer!

[@greenmile4233]

I know this sounds crazy, but watching Stevie is like watching Bruce Lee fighting. Each one was a master of their discipline and it was like a natural expression of their personality. He had such a groove to his way of playing, I love the video of “couldn’t stand the weather” where he’s standing in the rain just jamming away, the guitar was his weapon. I really miss this dude.

[@irishsetter1972]

Not crazy at all. "Be like water". I first saw SRV on SNL waaayyy back when and I was amazed at how easy he made it seem to play guitar. Yeah, not as easy as he made it look.

[@jamesmcmann8536]

I'm a very straight dude, but gotta say there's something sexy in the way Stevie controls that guitar and throws it around at his will.

[@toady115]

When I die I want to go to a place where I can hear Stevie and Jimi jammin together. Now that would be heaven.

Just let Stevie Ray Vaughn go, he'll come back to you ... one of these days. WOW!! talk about being in a moment where the sound and feel is right and just going for it. That is what that was. Just follow me I got this!

Took me awhile but I just finished reading the entire Websters dictionary looking for some words to describe my respect for Stevie and I couldn't find any, He's simply that freakin' amazing!!

SRV was freakishly good. He always managed to phrase in the way the mind wants hear. You heard power, fury, playfulness and poetry at the same time, every note....

It's obvious throughout this song that the only person he was playing this for was Jimi. Well done SRV. Brilliant!

Have u seen Hendrix live because he made legends want to learn how to play the guitar the its supposed to be played that comes from Paige Clapton Beck Townsend so on and so on Stevie Ray was a BADASS MOFO NODOUBT

[@markwilding3828]

The first time I ever heard his music, it was live. A friend said to me he reckoned I would like it, so I bought a ticket and went. Never heard a single recording up to that point. In fact, got to the venue in the afternoon, found an open door and went in. The band came on stage to sound check (20 minute rendition of Mary had a little lamb) and I walked up and stood at the front of the stage.... So the first time I ever heard SRV play, he was standing 10 feet in front of me in an empty auditorium. The memory is burned into my brain such that it still gives me chills when I recall it, almost 40 years later.

[@mv11000]

Stevie Ray is so great he can even play with a huge necklace dangling in front of his guitar
