There are great guitar players, and then there is the undisputed GOAT: SRV. BB King once said, "I play in sentences. SRV plays in powerful paragraphs."

People like to bring up Buddy Guy....awesome in his own right.....Stevie Ray brought it to a whole 'nother level....in my mind he blows Eric Clapton out of the water....he was so raw and real, just a hard sound....nobody ever played like this.

BB King and Albert King both bowed down to Stevie Ray and acknowledged his guitar work as nothing short of pure genius. DUH!

[@TheK18]

The beauty of SRV is that each time you hear any of his solos, you think to yourself "god that's his greatest guitar solo of all time." Truth is, they are all his greatest solo of all time. Every time Stevie picked up the guitar he played with the same intensity and passion, unrivaled by any other guitarist, to pour out his soul for the music. That is why every solo is so magical, we can feel his soul through the sound.
