You're a fucking idiot. SRV is a two bit hack biting off Jimi but obviously can't pull it off. Even then, Jimi is arguably not the best guitarist, as there is also at least Jimmy and Django to consider. But SRV?? Really? The fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Don't you have another retarded/mundane/idiotic thread to go create you mental midget? Trying to find the video where srv plays the guitar behind his back for about 2 min, I think it's Texas flood. Stevie fuckin rocks.

P.s go smoke some more meth.

[Hasbinlulz]

Playing guitar behind your back is a gimmick, muscle memory is muscle memory in front of you or behind you.

But it's cool that you're easily impressed.

[Alawen]

Gonna have to go with hatelore on this one. Even my mom likes Stevie Ray.

[Hasbinlulz]

I bet she likes McDonalds too, but even if she doesn't, the point stands. Hendrix was butter seared filet, Vaughan was a happy meal by comparison.

[Hasbinlulz]

One is the genuine article, the other a sad white dude trying to bite a black mans musical style.

[Hasbinlulz]

First, listen to this zero play some fucked up pop blues bullshit:

Now, listen to this hero play the greatest guitar ever:

[Hasbinlulz]

If you can't tell night vs day, nothing I can do to help u anyway.

[Barkingturtle]

That's just ignorant. Stevie Ray was twice the black Jimi ever was.

[Hasbinlulz]

srv so repetitive and predictable .. Jimi is so raw, so primal

[Hasbinlulz]

I also am NOT just talking about their touch.. SRV obviously can play the guitar like a demon, but he is boring and predictable in every fucking song. Voodoo Chile was his best performance by far imho, but it still doesn't begin to hold a candle to Jimi.

[Hasbinlulz]

Compare Live versions of Little Wing for more evidence:

AMAZING even tho he is blitzed out of his mind on lsd:

I'm playing good versions.. It's not that I'm cherry picking. That is probably one of SRV's legit best performances, his kung fu just sucks compared to master Po.

[Hasbinlulz]

SRV sounds like prepackaged, homogenized, GMO, "Genuine Jimi Hendrix" biproduct.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Spam of Jimi Hendrix's.

[Hasbinlulz]

People just love SRV coz Jimi died before they discovered LSD.

[Hasbinlulz]

It's like the difference between the original subtitled Robotech vs. English dubbed Macross.

[Hasbinlulz]

Also, music needs to be more pop for cokeheads.

[Hasbinlulz]

Now if you want to see white people pay tribute rather than trying to bite, look at:

Eric Clapton:

Thats a load of bullshit hasbeen, you said SRV was a two bit hack. Which clearly makes you out to be classless at best hahaa. I don't in any way refute that Jimi kicked ass, I have listened to him since I knew what music was. But to say SRV is a two bit hack, really is a very stupid statement.

In some ways SRV is predictable , but he mixed it up too on stage too at times. Either way, SRV is the shit and thats a definite +1 for Jeremy for linking that one.

Saying "better than Hendrix" is somewhat of a misnomer. At the level of amazing which Hendrix inhabited, there is not really a "better." There is "different," but not "better."

Hmm, I hate to admit this , but I can't say you are entirely classless after that last post.But I still resent you calling SRV a two bit hack...

It seems meth smokers can still have a slight amount of good taste when it regards real music... Hmm. I must ponder this new revelation.

[Alawen]

ITT: HBB spams like a madman trying to have a "correct" opinion about music. My favorite guitar player is Gilmour. I like Ritchie Blackmore, too, but he gets a little repetitive in concert. On a random note, here's my favorite guitar. Been playing for a couple decades and I'm still better on saxophone.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/Alawen/Careful.jpg

[quido]

Hasbin just a hater, don't mind him.

Pretty much I'm hearing that you don't like SRV because he doesn't play Jimi as well as Jimi. Saying his music is pre-packaged cookie cutter pop or whatever just demonstrates your blind ignorance of the subject. Have you even listened to any SRV that wasn't a Hendrix cover? I personally get a little tired of the whole "texas twang" thing at times, but his prowess on the guitar is undeniable and ridiculous. Yeah Jimi was a fucking monster on the guitar and eons ahead of his time, but he is without a doubt one of the douchiest singers and lyricists of all time. I'd listen to him quite a bit more if he would just shut the fuck up. Everyone knows that Machine Gun is the best Jimi track, anyways. You can keep your bowl of voodoo chili, brah.

[quido]

Clapton has been playing that same Little Wing cover for 40 years - Derek and the Dominos beeyotch. Duane Allman was another god cut down in his prime, but he doesn't have quite the popular following of some of these other jerks. Clapton just doesn't get my dick hard these days though - somebody give that guy some drugs so he can stop playing fucking suburban whiteboy blues.

My love of the electric guitar really began with David Gilmour and Warren Haynes, and like you, Alawen, I play a strat too! Check out these recordings I made a few years ago when I'd been playing for like two years, lol: http://www.myspace.com/theicecrewboys

My all-time favorite guitarist at this point (and for the last two years, almost) has been Shawn Lane. Youtube can't really do him justice - check out his albums, in particular Abstract Logic, Two Doors (he only played the first half of the album), Temporal Analogues of Paradise, and Time is the Enemy. I invite you to download my favorite, TAOP, at this link: http://www.msu.edu/~oconne53/TempAnalogues.zip. The guitar solo a couple minutes into the second movement is my favorite solo of all time. For someone who usually likes chunky distortion and fast playing, this selection is a departure from my usual. It is without a doubt the most heartfelt and touching piece of music I have ever heard in my life - give it a chance. Shawn Lane is probably the sickest shredder of all time, yet he gives us music with such amazing depth, not to mention he could play Hendrix covers spot-on as a teenager.

[Hasbinlulz]

Should define terms better for this conversation.

I propose using at least "skill" and "style" to differentiate "good" or "better."

For instance, Steve Vai is "good" and "better than 99.999999% of guitarists ever, including everyone mentioned so far" as far as skill goes, but his style leaves something to be desired.

[Hasbinlulz]

What I will say is that p. much everyone mentioned so far crosses the skill/style fence as far as being good..

Except SRV. His skill was high, but his style was 100% biter status.

[Hasbinlulz]

^on guitar .. he certainly had his own "song" style, predictable and repetitive as it was.

[Hasbinlulz]

This is probably the "best" guitarist alive IMHO, skill and style.

John Williams performing Asturias (Leyenda), by Albeniz - a song popularized by Andres Segovia and later by The Doors.

This is him in 1975, much more of a primal performance.

[Hasbinlulz]

Have you even listened to any SRV that wasn't a Hendrix cover?
Of course I have, but I was trying to draw a comparison between the two, and the best way to compare two styles is to isolate as many variables as possible. A great way of doing that when comparing musicians is to select a song they have in common. Which is why I chose Little Wing and Voodoo Chile (Slight Return).

SRV was out to prove that "not only Jimi could play like Jimi," and he certainly did that, I am absolutely not questioning his skill, but he is certainly a two bit hack as far as his style goes. Fucking 12 bar blues with a Jimi twist? Give me a fucking break. Even Hendrix himself got down on better blues than that.

God damn, just listening to this.. It's so obvious SRV just wholesale stole everything Jimi is about. Basically, you could take Jimi's work on this recording of Red House, and break it up into little pieces, and pretty much come up with combinations of that to match any known SRV lick. LMFAO.

Not trying to argue subjectivity are you? Django dude sounds good. Bobby Blue Bland fan by chance? Basis of my opinion is that originals are better. If anything Hendrix should get more credit for what he did in experimenting with the electric guitar. Not denying his talent, but Johnson and Wolf express it better with what they used. They all had an understanding of life in their times that can't be denied, but I'd argue that Hendrix lucked out a lot with how the music industry was going at that time because if it was some mix of blues and rock it sold whether it was good or not. Hell, The Doors got hugely popular around the same time.
