I saw SRV many times, but probably the most memorable moment for me was when he was playing with his teeth and suddenly stopped, and walked off the stage with a hand to his mouth. His band mates looked at each other confused, but kept playing. Within minutes, SRV then walked back out, apologized for stopping, and told the crowd that he had just lost a tooth. He gave a hockey player smile with a missing front chicklet, picked up his guitar and continued to play. Respect!

Stevie and I were classmates in junior high, eighth and ninth grade at L.V. Stockard in Oak Cliff Texas. Even at that time he was way better than the rest of us always proclaiming "I'm going to be the best guitar player in the world ". I started noticing the level of sleaze in the music business even back then and decided to embark on a different career path. Stevie could've done so much more as so many others would've if their life hadn't been cut so short. RIP Stevie.

I have known many unknown guitarist, Who , for onereason or another, Never got recognized, Or they just didn't care to push it forward. I agree that Jimmy hendrix is the best, I knew he was good, And then I'd seen some footage of him live from new orleans, And that Sinched it. Can't help but wonder what would Stevie be doing now, There's just no way to guess. I believe Guitarist will be appreciating SRV For hundreds of years, & of course everybody else.

@@theguyinmaine Jealous, I am very jealous. I am the youngest of 8,4 sis.3 bro. My brother buffalo, Was the last of the record promoters, He was the reason a song would be popular in some cities. Starting in 74, I was 11, At Christmas time he would give me , 6 to 10, first albums, Promotional only albums. This went on till I was 15, All of my buddies, Were amazed at some of these bands success. I am not sure how old I was when buffalo went to work for waylon jennings as his manager, I believe he was still handing me albums at christmas after he did that. Besides my pop listening to music, My Dad also put on country music concerts in dallas, And fortworth. Here's the best part... My mom worked for the dallas cowboys for 30 years, She was the advertising manager," America's team" Was my mom's conception, As well as a bi annual NFL magazine called " Pro magazine". She had worked for the cowboys since day one, She And tex shram Were friends when the cowboys were called the texans. My mother knew the owner of ticketmaster, And when I was young I was traveling around this country racing moto X, And I could be anywhere, And ask mom for how many tickets I wanted, To see a concert, And they would be waiting for me at the courtesy booth. My brother I have seen some shows, many many great bands. My brother buffalo told me that there was something about led zeppelin live, He said they had an incredible groove, And the power was something to behold. I am jealous of anybody who got to see SRV live, Everybody who has has remarked at how loud the damn concert was, And how incredible stevie was, They all agreed it was the best band They had ever seen in concert.

"It was like he was an open channel..." ~ E.C. There are certain rare individuals whose command of music is so great that they appear not to be playing at all, but to be a conduit from wherever music is created to the here-and-now. I was fortunate-enough to see SRV live and he had that quality, and then some. Even fellow all-time greats were astonished by him, as Clapton proves. Remembering that last concert wistfully, Clapton recalled how everyone else on stage - Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, E.C. himself ~ just stood there astonished at the amazing things he was playing in the final encore to the show, if memory serves, "Sweet Home Chicago" or some other old blues standard. A short few hours later, he was gone.

I was lucky to have seen SRV three times. Once at the Bumpershoot festival in Seattle, once with Robert Cray and also with Joe Cocker. It was cool to see the legends in this video talk about him and I've seen most of those guitarists in concert.

I saw Stevie Ray play in the early 80s and, to my shame, I must admit that I had no idea who he was at the time. He was an opening act for a band I was forced to see because my sister wanted to go and wasn't old enough to drive. He absolutely blew me away. He did something I'd never seen. He didn't talk to the crowd or play to the crowd. He didn't even have his eyes open for most of the set. He wasn't playing for me, the people next to me, or any of the crowd. He was playing for himself because that was what he loved to do. He wasn't a showman, he was an artist putting together masterpieces, one town at a time.

I believe Stevie channeled every ounce of emotion from his childhood thru his guitar he had a mission and was extremely focused.

As a non-musician, I always wonder how they play long and imaginative guitar solos without ever stuttering. It seems like a huge compliment that the likes of Clapton and King talk about that concerning Stevie. You know they were special when they pass too early.

He was one of the greatest ever. Still pissed that he died so young. I'm just grateful that I got to see him live twice in Austin in the 80's.

I have a friend who is fluent in the way Stevie is , lives in the Seattle area , ran jams at a couple clubs . Got so no guitar players would come to the jams anymore even tho all the other musicians loved him . He can do anything on the guitar ! Bought a brand new 1972 SG when we were in high school . That guitar is physically now worn out , the frets were worn to the board almost 30 years ago ! How many players do you know that have actually worn out a guitar ! Rob Gordon is his name . I always thought he would be discovered by someone , but then he got into computers instead . He is a QA whiz and frustrated many coders . He can stand on stage with anyone and I guarantee would get a nod from the very best out there !

Clapton nailed it. As a guitarist myself, i know we are pulling licks from a database. As Clapton put it: he just keeps pulling those phrases from his database one after the other without any lag. I always thought as his playing like it has been quantized, so every note, no matter how fast, fits a Bar perfectly

@suzie9874 3 ай бұрын

But ask yourself. Whose licks are they. They are all borrowed from others. Nothing was his. He added very little to the music world as far as advancing music. He was not ground breaking at all.

@@turnerthemanc And i see with your post here when you mention Slash. He is by far the most overrated guitarist of all time. He constantly messes up live. He has 3-4 songs that he does do very good on. But he is no where near a top 250 guitarist. And that say otherwise. Knows very little about the history of rock music.

@@turnerthemanc I like may guitarist. I would not say Slash is anywhere near the top. Hendrix is the #1. Whether you like his music or not. No one has done more for rock music and changing it than Hendrix did. As for the era that Slash played. CC Deville is way better than Slash. Dave Murray, Jake E Lee, Randy Rhoades, David Gilmour. It is a long long list. And Slash is way down the list. I mean seriously. How do you do a cover song of one of the most greatest ever in his fields of music. And mess it up. Slash managed to do just that with Crazy Train. With Ozzy and Sharon sitting there watching. Poor Oz was asking Sharon. What is this.

He was one of the most amazing guitarists I ever saw. Many guitarists sing and play words, some even play whole words sentences. But he manage to play an entire story, which is almost unheard of in the world of guitar players. I believe my favorite song of his was Texas Flood. I believe two of my other favorite guitar players relied on him for inspiration. One is,of course Eric Clapton, and the other is Joe Bonamassa

Still have the ticket from a Bill Graham Presents show in SF with a double bill: SRV and Jeff Beck!! They would switch off each night in who would open and who would close but it didn’t matter… if you were there. 😊
