Someone can prob say this better than me, but I think what Jimi did was break rules of traditional guitar playing and music on a global level. Keep in mind, he only recorded for three years. In those three years, he created a body of work that continues to be respected and loved to this day. He made people think not just outside the box, but outside the universe. On a time continuum, SRV was a slow burn while Jimi was a lightning strike. Both left a legacy of work; they are both genius musicians.

Well-said. I feel like the other thing that can't be ignored is that even in this performance, SRV is pulling out of the bag that Jimi first filled up - the double-stops, effects-driven and whammy work, the showmanship and use of dissonance mixed with the blues - those are all ideas that Jimi blended in a way that no one had before. I think SRV woulda been the first to say that he would not exist as the player he was without the Hendrix Blueprint

While watching SRV on PBS for his three Austin City Limits appearances back-to-back-to-back when my daughter was 6 y/o she stopped playing with her toys and came and sat on my lap and was mesmerized. I used that little opening to introduce her to SRV first followed by other artists instead of pop music at the time (‘96ish). We’ve bonded over great music ever since.

This may be the best electric blues guitar performance ever. If anyone tells me "I just don't get what was so great about Stevie" I show them this video. If they still don't get it, they never will. Stevie stood on the shoulders of many before him, but he reached far beyond where they did and grabbed a hold of something they only dreamed of. His brief time was enough for him to influence many of his influences. I never get tired of these reactions either. There's always a point where everyone just stfu and have these bewildered, amazed looks on their faces. I love it.

Every old school blues player I've ever heard had nothing but respect for Stevie. Stevie was only 35 when he died in a helicopter crash in 1990. Only 7 years after Texas flood was released. He once said he tries not to think when he plays and just lets the music flow.

SRV was a huge Jimi Hendrix fan and covered quite a few of his songs. Watching him I always thought he had a fire in his chest that he could only get out by playing that guitar the way he did. At one time he was mixing cocaine and whiskey, hit rock bottom and then got all the way clean. His music after that reflected that. Love that Texas Blues vibe! RIP Stevie Ray!

The man never played it the same way twice!!!! Every night he had a different feeling on how to perform tunes and his mood that day/night steered him in a certain direction and that’s what you got as an audience member from the GOAT!!!!! Been there done that watching him dozens of times!!!!! Pure talent and emotions!!!! Just an unbelievable performer and Double Trouble ruled as his band!!!! So talented!!!!! As BB King said in amazement after playing with him once (BB was a great influence on Stevie when he was growing up and definitely wasn’t a slouch on playing Blues), we blues guitarist play in sentences and Stevie plays in paragraphs!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 😎🍸

He inspired so many musicians ( Guitarist mostly ) not only of that era, but still today what 50 years later the only people that do that are the greatest at whatever they do to still make an impression. Gotta remember that his performances in especially in the clubs around England in his early days. Players like Clapton,beck page richards were in awe of his talent, too top it off what a humble man he was

I think the hype around jimi is his relentless creativity. He broke the worlds box of music at the time and then broke out of his own boxes, something stevie struggled with. Stevie also was beyond exceptional at his guitar playing, well beyond most of his predecesors and the guitarists he later influenced. Essentially, jimi could do a little of everything and create new things, and stevie could do one thing beyond what anyone else was capable of. It goes deeper than that but thats the jist of it.

Lots of people can make the guitar sing. But only one guy can make it sing like that, and you just saw him there. SRV grew up on Chuck and Jimi and BB and he did them proud. He also used the thickest strings available, and bent them like they were nothing. That’s how he gets his heavy sound. He is definitely a goat.
