[@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".

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....

Stevie Ray was ascending the throne of Hendrix when he left us. What a tremendous exciting talent and master of the electric guitar.

[@glassover6420]

Agree my friend

[@panzerlieb]

btm wtfb “g3 are awful” there’s a reason for that. Generally, when you put three or more great guitar players on stage at the same time, they have this unfortunate tendency of getting in each other’s way. The end result is frequent clashing of musical ideas the just don’t sync. Then your left with a off kilter mess. Don’t get me wrong. I love all of the g3 players individually but when you put them together it just falls apart.

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.

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.
