That's pretty funny

Maybe in a a

Maybe in a alternate universe... LoL

But that Tech h a d the SRV neck repaired, restrung, and tuned by time Stevie finished Lenny.

About right there my friend. I've serviced, repaired and rebuilt a fair few Stratocasters and indeed Telecasters in my time. Only one was a write off but it was belted into a concrete stage block (with very spectacular results indeed) and to be fair, nothing was going to survive that. Oh and for the haters before you reply, that one was an inexpensive copy. In my limited but colorful career working as a tech I only ever really got nervous once, when a Gibson Les Paul was thrown off stage in my general direction. Caught that one with my face which was a little uncomfortable but it saved the guitar. If it was a Strat I would have just ducked, it would have lived ;)

Hey can you tell me which pickups are better for getting a SRV, Hendrix, Gilmoure and all of the classic rock sound Fender 57/62 or Seymour Duncan pickups?

Sanad Khalid , Texas specials are the only way to go for SRV tone. Those guys are probably the most iconic single coil players, clapton too. As far as Gilmore's tone, it's in his fingers, not the pu's lol. But he played a mix of a custom Seymour on the bridge and some 70s(not sure what year) Fender customs for the other 2. But the one consistency about all their pu's - NON- Noiseless !!!!!

They serve the music

how they hold the speed is amazing

Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker they are not.

@@blackphillip564 What an odd comment... In what world does Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker have anything to do with the conversation at hand?

That’s how the original song goes

Buddy guy was doing that many years before lol

You mean like Jimi?

hey well, jimi did it first so

Randy Hanson.

Today's generation would say, "obviously you haven't heard of Post Malone or Machine Gun Kelly "

I’ve worked for Guitar Center almost 4 years now, and honestly if I saw someone doing this I wouldn’t even be mad or kick them out.

@@dylanharris9131 You would if you owned the place.

I daydream about that sometimes

Will R I daydream about that all the times

Buy it ahead of time secretly and absolutely trash it in front of the rest of the workers who didn't know

SRV tried and wanted so bad to be Hendrix and wasn't even kinda close. Without hendrix SRV would have been nothing. SRV is way overrated.

What instrument do you play Zero ???

Oh excuse me

Oh, excuse me, Sub Zero, which means less than zero. Oh, and by the way .... you had some typos in your comment.

@@subzero308 So I can say "without Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Howling Wolf Hendrix would've been nothing. Hendrix is way overrated." Stay away from any art form if you can't appreciate people

I lived in Houston TX when SRV was starting out. I saw him many times at local clubs. Also saw ZZ Top a bunch before they got really famous. Freakin awesome!!

I did see him at Fitzgeralds in Berwyn Illinois in 81 and visit with him for about half an hour after the show as the family was friends of mine. We did shots, beers and jabbered about JImi. To memory he had closed his set with 4 less predictable things from Jimi like this. He was about a year from being famous at this point.

For those who were living in Austin, Antone's Bar was that very place where Stevie played regular. It had to be so incredible to just go there on a weekend and see him and his brother Jimmy Lee play as well not to mention all the talent that came through there over the years. I saw Bobby Blues Bland play there with Robert Cray before Cray was a household name. Stevie was touched by something very, very special. He like Jimi went to a place that very few have ever visited and very few to this day will never be privileged enough to visit that special place. Stevie gave us something that I've never witnessed in my life time musically. He was an original. Just as Jimi was an original. The day he died I felt like I had been kicked in the gut. It hurt so bad and I cried for days on end because we had just been robbed of that special gift. Miss you SRV😢

Yes, but she liked it

Stevie's Number 1 guitar had his initials on it in the front, clearly could be read easily; this guitar i believe would be called "Rough Trade" or Jimi's "3rd rock from the sun"! Lol!

Yeah almost a bit selfish from Stevie 😁

@@iplayloud2 ??? The original is almost the same, not much playing just noises

Im not sure he Caim back.....

I miss those guys playing together tho

Xd

I did, I swear solo in Dallas. Great Long Island Teas there, 1987

Stop it !

Those guys are rock solid. Tight and in the pocket, you could probably drive a truck through that building and they'd not lose their groove.

John Pender I agree, he's another one that doesn't play...He ATTACKS

+Derek Deese and Stone Free too!

For those that haven't discovered Frank Marino yet, try out a live version of "Poppy" here on the tube.

Que hay de Randy Hansen???

great compliment

if it makes u feel better jimi is mine and im 18

Nathan -100% Agree! btw @ 1:40: only 4 trem block springs...

I have my trem decked with 3 springs and I play 11s. Stays in tune better then my Epiphone Les Paul hahaha

Cocaines a beautiful thing

I just can’t believe the neck didn’t snap from him putting his weight on it

@@drewmatthews860 there’s an old fender ad where a slightly heavier man stood on a strat neck while it acted as a bridge between two boxes. Fender refuses to break

It got rebuilt many times, actually.

Strats can take a pretty good beating :)

It's a fender strat best made

Arthur Anenberg hahaha

Arthur Anenberg Dude that's the first time a comment made me laugh and it made me die. You deserve an award!

Arthur Anenberg Lmfaooo that is perfect

holy shit hahaha too good

you just made my day sir im laughing as im typing this

Late reply here. You nailed it. This is a true miracle that we get to see it. As you say, FOREVER! The man is legendary. This performance captures SRV's essence. I feel blessed to have been placed here at the same time.

his strat actually isint actually a 59. its a 63 body and a 62 neck. the reason people think its a 59 is because it has 59 pickups.

@@MedicBroh it’s still a 59...the pickups and D taper neck make it a 59. Regardless of the body actually being from a 63 and the neck not being from a 59. I actually got to hold the thing on my 18th bday courtesy of my pops being in the music business

@@keithremedy how fat is the neck compared to a normal c shape?

@@keithremedy Well what defines the age of guitar? The body or the pickups. In my mind the body is the guitar and the rest just add to them, so i'd call it a '63. If i had a 2022 body and put on a '57 neck and '58 pickup's i wouldnt call it a '57 or '58.

@@lthoedt Partscaster is the correct term. Lol

And ... was one of the best songwriters of the 1960s, in terms of sheer quantity of quality songs. I feel that part of Jimi's legacy gets lost. How many times does "Little Wing" have to be covered by top artists before we get it?

@@aquamarine99911 Axis Bold as Love, Castles Made of Sand... that's just one album.

​@@bjrnaskefoss2700Yeah but he enjoyed doing it and people loved what he did so I'm failing to see the problem

He didn't this a different guitar he only used for this song.

well said

Unless you are pulling a Pete Townsend

Pete Townsend wanted it left in pieces

ritchie blackmore doing wring that neck

You did watch the video right? He's saying you can't smash a Gibson on the floor and stand on it or else it will break into many pieces.

Do you know sex? You dont know sex

Eh, hes was and is pretty over rated

I know right I had a 61 epi coronet super rare model worth mucho bucks I only paid 40 bucks at a yard sale off og owner lol didn't know what id bought anyway same here I loved playin it but terrified of scratchin her she played so sweet miss her everyday I play

yep but he had some amazing Fender technicians that replaced the neck so many times that it wouldnt take it another time, and he had to retire #1 , and the average guitar is not made to withstand that abuse, he like others have them reinforced and put on durable high quality parts. Stevie actually broke the neck on a martin 12 string acoustic that he had borrowed for an MTV special, and his hands were so strong he snapped it right in half , from what i read in his biography of his life. Now thats intense

Yeah, and now you can buy a replica of #1 For "I think 10 grand?...i don't think I would bounce it around as much if I paid 10 grand for it

If you have a workhorse strat, experiment with doing this at home on nice plush carpet. Start gentle. You'll find that a strat can take a monstorous beating, and, sometimes, in the moment, when you're going through a really tough time, you'll have a sort of mojo takeover of what you're doing make you commit domestic assault on your guitar like this live at a show. It's actually a really cathartic feeling.

well... he got a money man

Cameron Dudley actually his band mates said that the tricks he did just came out randomly, he didn’t practice tricks, he would just randomly do one

@@antonioricci5465 i believe you missed the joke by a long shot there, buddy.

Wolfox no I got the joke, I was just telling an interesting fact about Stevie playing behind his back

Lol. Yeah, I've thought about this. I always think, this is NOT a guy who makes himself practice an hour a day....he must have never put it down!! And we get the benefit of it. I see Lonnie Mack, I see jimi, I see bob wills, SRV "SECOND COMING OF THE BLUES"

Its really difficult to Imagine this sort of music, let alone write it. That's why people are still copying the True Guitar God "JIMI HENDRIX" No one yet has created anything to touch him, and it's been fifty long lonely years since he died. R.I.P. Jimi. There's no one come close.

2k? Thats chum change… id literally give up my balls to see this live

jjjjaa

Bkn yop

Jojojo ahí vieneee

Joe Sawyer saw him do this live.... forever changed!

Jarrod Schroeder What the hell happened to you. He wasn't even criticising he was just observing. You are acting like he killed your family! What is wrong with you?

whats really sad is the fact that 1: you didnt even deny it. 2: you like your own comments. gg man

Jarrod Schroeder Great bait.

Dead

And to think people pay big bucks to have Fender beat them before they buy them.

Like a shooting star across the sky, brilliant and gone in a flash.... a full life crammed in 35 years. And so much given.

Evidently not.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Such an interesting life; 13 year old slipping out at night to play in clubs, with or without Jimmie; playing with the greats, chance meeting with Jackson Browne, genius while impaired and triumphant and spreading love and music when clean-and then...we get to enjoy him forever
