Stevie Ray, the Best there Ever Was...Check out this SOUND CHECK That a Fan Recorded

[JimBowie1958]

Lol, I wish I could play a geeeeetarrr half as good as he did.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Certifiably in the top 5 on any list.
It is hard to say who is the "greatest guitar player ever"...there are other genres to consider also.
Greatest ROCK guitarist?..again hard to say, but again certainly in the top 5.

 

[Fenton Lum]

Agreed, all the above. Duane Allman, another top 5er.

 

[The Irish Ram]

I saw him play in Colorado Springs. What a treat. WHAT a treat!
Saw Allman at Red Rocks. A bunch of us went together, and they all did shrooms before we went. Everybody was standing and groovin, and I looked down our row, and my friends were all just sitting there staring at all the pretty lights. Crazy times.

 

[JimBowie1958]

A couple of his hits I cant hear too many times

 

[Zander]

Stevie is one of my favorite "Blues" guitarists.

Love that "tone"

Here is a lesson that may help you.



This guy is great.

 

[JimBowie1958]

When I think of all the musical talent that died too early in life, it brings tears to my eyes, and SRV was one of the biggest losses, along with Buddy Holly, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joplin and more.

Really? What year was that, Red Rocks?

Guessing you know Voodoo Child was a Jimi Hendrix cover?
JRV did a lot of Hendrix songs...only one who dared to and could get away with it.

 

[gipper]

SRV was no doubt one of the best, if not the best. His death was a terrible tragedy for us all...he died much too soon.

Yeah, I knew that, but I like SRV's version more for some reason.

Maybe its cause SRV was sober during his performances? I dont know.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Look at Little Sister is probably my favorite......

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I half expected some dimwit to post up "Eddie Van Halen is the best"...to which they need to be immediately shot.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Look at Little Sister is probably my favorite......

In the live performance of Look at Little Sister, he had a string break on his guitar and he had it changed out with no interruption in the song, lol.

That is smooth.
