SRV was humble. He said Jimi Hendrix was the best and gave praise to all the Blues players before him. Did this cover of Jimi Hendrix out of respect. Note, Jimi was left handed and strung a right handed guitar upside down to play.

My late companion, used to play with Stevie Ray when they were young. He could sing and play just like SRV…. 7 years ago he passed away, from cancer.. Now, he is in heaven with his best friend….

It completely blows my mind that there are actually people in this world that don’t enjoy this!!!! How the EFF is that even possible??! He makes my SOUL smile 🖤❤️‍🔥🖤❤️‍🔥🖤❤️‍🔥

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat. Period. **Life Without You at Capitol Theater ** **Texas Flood at El Macambo** **Voodoo Child at Starwood Theater in Nashville**

The "Wah-Wah" pedal gives it that distinctive sound. Hendrix and Clapton used Wah Wah pedals in the 1960's. Stevie is actually using the actual Wah Wah pedal that Jimi Hendrix used - the Hendrix estate had given it to Stevie because he honored Jimi so passionately.

I love to watch folks discover just what a mountain of talent this man was.

Before covering this song, Stevie went to Jimi's Dad asked for permission to do the song. Many have commented on Stevie's humility. Just another example of a humble man.

Oh man, "Life Without You" live at Capitol theater is a must. Great song, great playing, a great message in the middle.

when Albert king played with Stevie he told him "the better you get the harder you work. never say you got it made. your pretty good but your gonna be better." Stevie looking at him like a kid looking at his hero.

Never will anyone duplicate his sound or great timing, I don't know of any players that can bend 12 gage strings.

"Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd jammed onstage with him before want to quit."...................Eric Clapton.

I saw Hendrix live 3 months before he died. Stood right in front of him taking photos as he played. At the end of the encore he reached down to give me his guitar pick but a big burly guy jostled me aside & grabbed it instead (still makes me mad!). "Voodoo Chile" was my favorite of his songs so I loved seeing him play it in person. Jump ahead to 1983 when Stevie Ray's 1st album came out. I was instantly a fan. When I listened to his version of VC (on his 2nd album) it took a couple of times before I could admit to myself that I actually liked it better. Seemed like sacrilege but there it was. Then I got to know more about Stevie..how much he loved Hendrix & how he even went to see Jimi's father for his permission to record it. And I think Jimi himself would love Stevie's playing. They were both masters & I hope they're occasionally jamming together on the other side. There's even a song that envisions that..Stevie's brother Jimmie (also a great guitarist) sings it. It's about Stevie's death & a couple of lines say "See the Voodoo Child, holding out his hand..'been waiting for you, brother. Welcome to the band'". Talk about goosebumps. Thank you for doing this one! There were no showy "tricks" in it, just soaring, blistering playing. I agree with others, you should add "Life Without You" at the Capitol Theater to your list. He wrote it for a friend who died. Beautiful, emotional song, great message. And a couple of those tricks are included in a fantastic performance.💙🌿💚

Hendrix created that sound and that groove. SRV stood on the shoulders of a giant and pushed the state of the art forward in a fitting tribute.

My favorite guitar player of all time no one like Stevie

Excellent reaction - thanks. When he bends down he's adjusting his foot pedals. He has a spare pick hanging under the microphone holder. Earlier in this concert there were two picks there but he broke the one he was using, so grabbed a spare.

You need to react to Stevie rays rendition of " Mary had a little lamb" !! No joke it's AWESOME

The GOAT at his best….

He didn't drop his pick. Electric guitarists play with a number of effect peddles. EQ, wah-wah, fuzz, distortion, overdrive, etc, etc. They have a little pedal you can step on to click, but he was likely leaning down to adjust a knob on one of them. Also, that first effect you talked about where it looked like he was playing with no hands, that was a peddle he was using. In answer to your question though, yes, you can play with just the hand on the neck. Btw, if you want a shockingly different side of Stevie, take a listen to 'Riviera Paradise' from that same concert.

I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert in the 80's in Cedar Rapids Iowa. He died shortly after, fantastic concert.

Stevie was a phenomenal player, can you imagine how his playing would've progressed if he had died so young? Thank you for another great reaction.

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE ONE 🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸💜🎼💜

Stevie is the best, I saw him live every time he came around. I was at the concert at the Starwood Amphitheater in Nashville in about 1989. Watch him bend those strings! He’s the reason I bought my Fender Stratocaster. BTW, you’re very entertaining too. 🥰

If you want to hear Stevie ray singing voice do life by the drop

Catch your breath, regroup, then strap yourself in and listen to and watch SRV "Life Without You" Live at the Capitol Theater.

I absolutely love watching your reactions! You always make me smile 😃

One of the best guitar players ❤️❤️

This is a cover of Jimi Hendrix.Hendrix and SRV are universally 1 & 2 GOAT.Please check out Hey Joe by Hendrix from the Monterey pop festival✌🏻

You have to do more SRV . Daddy doesn't give you what you want ! DADDY GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED !

Texas dude!! (Texas chick here).. I grew up listening to this southern rock/blues.. love it. ZZ Top is another Texas group, hard core southern rock. A few songs down the line... check them out!

he plays sooo good it gives u a stank-face 30 years later

Prince is too underrated.. Amazing talent..

BB King & Albert King spoke of SRV's talent with wonderment and awe. No higher praise is possible. BB said he never thought a guitar player could take it so far over the blistering edge then pull it back with improvisational wizardry the way Stevie could. I saw him perform in 1990 a couple of months before he died. I cried that day and my heart still aches at our loss.

Riviera paradise will calm you down, take you to a good place.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 that dance 🕺🏻 was fire 🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That guitar smokes a cigarette when Stevie is done with her I am sure

Great reaction, he is the GOAT in my opinion, you have a new subscriber, keep up the good work

You have to give the drummer major credit for keeping the same beat going which not that easy. SRV is amazing and has so much bluesy soul in his guitar playing and singing. He died way to soon and the world lost a legend. RIP! Thanks for sharing.

BB king and Eddie van Halen said Stevie was the best 🎸 player ever

Did he he just play the guitar without using his fingers! haha. I met him backstage in the 80s. Such a sweetheart. I CAN"T stop editing this. To get that fat sound he apparently played with heavier strings than everyone else did, hence the bloody fingers rumor. He's so good he makes my heart pound. When he died us fans were crushed. And lord was he humble. Ok that's all.

❤ SRV!!!! Try Tin Pan Alley with SRV and Johnny Copeland! Blues Masterclass!

Lovin the cricket background music. Sounds like our place, but with a mix of tree frogs

He brought Voodoo Child into the 80’s lol. God I miss him.

The sky is crying, one of favs from SRV

So sad that he is not with us anymore! He was the best. Really good job on the vid bro with just a few antics, but you let him play and I could tell that you were just into the performance this time... Kudos to you man! Take care..

My favorite guitarist has been Jimmy Page since sixth grade. When I first heard Stevie play, I was transfixed. Not sure of my #1 now. The first time Eric Clapton heard him on the radio, he was driving. He said he had to pull over to listen to him. David Bowie asked him to tour with him. If you haven't heard "Let's Dance" by David Bowie, Stevie plays the guitar. Take a look. 🙂

For great vocals watch Stevie Live at capitol theatre singing Life Without You....fantastic!

Yooo! Excuse Mr. Jiminy cricket in the background 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🥴🤣🤣🤣

BB King even said SRV was the greatest.

The crickets are amazing, too...

RIP Stevie. He absolutely was the GOAT. FYI, he was Albert Kings godson. He sometimes superglued his fingertips back on, because some of his guitars had such massive strings on it. The were also set up high. I guess for that tone he had. But I believe the tone also came from his hands.

You know the music is freaking amazing when you have to make that stank face! Stevie was the MAN!

Fun fact: his wah-pedal (which he bends to adjust a couple of times here, not to retrieve a pick) was given to him by Jimi Hendrix's family. Please do check out all the other suggestions in the comments, paying attention to which concert it is, because on stage he purposefully never played anything quite the same way twice, so each version is unique in some way. Edit: Btw you should also check out his Tin Pan Alley live with Johnny Copeland!

Where he plays without his pick hand he's using a compressor and delay pedal just switching it on and off. there is a way to play notes with your cord hand it's called a hammer notes.

How he plays the guitar without using his hands is by stepping on a pedal known as a "Wa-Wa" pedal...and the pedal Stevie used is the same one that Jimi Hendrix used on stage...Jimi's family gave it to Stevie cuz they knew how much he idolized Jimi...that pedal is now in a Texas museum along with that guitar he's playin...

If you want to see Stevie do more trick check out life without you live at the Capital Theater

His voice was like his guitar. They were the perfect blend. Best EVER. ❤

AB SRV was a buddy of mine back in college...we'd see him every Friday night for a dollar. yep - he's got a footswitch/reverb button he uses quite a bit.

You will like "Mary Had a Little Lamb" live!

Oh no you’re not done! You want to hear Stevie Sang? Check out his live version of “Tin Pan Alley” with Johnny Copeland. What a performance. Not steering you wrong bro 😎

React to his song Scuttle Buttin. You will NOT be disappointed !!

He may have not been using his hands, but he was using several foot pedals. Also pay close attention at how he's constantly adjust his tune with his right hand knobs. I always watch people's reactions to SRV because I like how it makes the jaw drop 10:15 the guitar is not crying, but it definately needed a cigarette.

Sounds like the cricket in the background wants you to listen to its song too!

SRV is one of the greatest to pick up a six string. He’s a member of my guitar Mt Rushmore along with David Gilmour, Eddie Van Halen, and Jimi Hendrix

You cracked me up... hahaha. SRV fans are Loyal to a fault. He is truly missed. I sometimes wonder if he'd become some type of activist either for social justice or climate. like Neil Young or Bob Marley. He wasn't afraid to call out any injustice that he knew about. He has a song that he performed with Johnny Copeland "Stevie Ray Vaughan - Tin Pan Alley (with Johnny Copeland)"

He was a master.

You asked what else can SRV do? How else could he play the guitar? Watch "Life Without You" Live at Capitol Theater. Yeah - he play with a different body part. It's MY favorite SRV song.

😇😉 You did the SRV "stank face" He got you. 💖

You HAVE to check out LITTLE WING LIVE SRV!!!!!!! One of the best performances in history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like the fastest fingers rver!!!🎵🎼🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸

SRV ~ GOAT ~ RIP KING 🖤

THE G.O.A.T. nut said

There's only ONE G O A T SRV!

Awesome, The only thing I can think of is that it is his soul playing

React to SRV with John Copeland.. Tin Pin Alley.. Great SRV vocals in this song

Great reaction. The sound you heard when he wasn't picking was the guitar still sounding from amplified sustain. He also has a "wah" pedal on the floor to make the sustained tones swell in volume and pitch. He is repeatedly stepping on it starting at 2:21 - 2:25.

Watch Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood Live and the El Mocambo if you you think this is good :)

A current must is a young artist, Marcin Patrzalek... a guitar savant from Poland.. you will be blown away by his cover of KASHMIR by Led Zepplelin see "MARCIN - KASHMIR on ONE GUITAR (Official Video)

Hahaha YASSSS thank you!!!! Can you add a link for your reaction to Texas flood i can't find it and I'm dying to see it! Lol.

The Goat ❤

Different music genre but Randy Rhodes who was an amazing guitarist who played for Ozzy Osbourne and who tragically died at the age of 25....you should check out Crazy Train and watch Randy play the guitar solo

Nice reaction 😎

Being from Texas I've seen Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert several times. What can I say about that is Amazing guitarist. Every show was incredible. If you like this version check out Gary Moore's version live. Gary version has more of a Rock groove where Stevie's is rooted in the Blues. Both are great. You want be disappointed.

I love your reactions, would like to see how you like Santana started in 1966 and still going pick any song but maybe start with Black magic woman and go from there!

The wa petal was Jimi Hendrix. Jimi gave it to em. Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan live at El Mocombo 3rd Stone from the Sun. WARNIN' MIND BLOWER ALERT ⚠️ ❤ Yeah!

Yep GOAT!

If you read this please please please listen to and react to Stevie Ray singing Tin pan alley. The best song

Just found you. That shuffle off stage right was funny, man

This is actually a Jimi Hendrix song but Stevie took it and made it his own!! Stevie actually idolized Jimi Hendrix!!

Voodoo Chile is one of my favorite Jimi songs. You should check out Prince's song *Dreamer* from the Lotus Flower album. Undeniable how much he was influenced by Voodoo Chile.

Try some early ZZTop. A Fool for Your Stockings is great blues tune. Billy Gibbons is another great Texas guitarist.

THE ONE AND ONLY STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN 💜🎸💜😍You should check out TIN PAN ALLEY WITH JOHNNY COPELAND, it's a BLUES MASTERPIECE!!!

There are three rules regarding guitars: 1. Don't try to play Stairway to Heaven in a store, 2. Don't interrupt a guitar solo in a reaction video or otherwise, 3. If it ain't your guitar, ask before you even think about touching it! Period. End of story. Mic drop.

You should watch his warmup video has to be the best one I think.

Robin Trower, Bridge Of Sighs is sweet.

He was amazing! This is a Jimi Hendrix song!

He had such respect for Hendrix.....

You need to hear "Riviera Paradise" for a change of pace from SRV.

No shame in calling SRV the guitar GOAT - he was younger when he started than Jimi was and he lived longer.

FYI Prince's name should NOT be mentioned when discussing great guitarists. SRV IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Mark Knopfler is the second greatest after SRV.
