All I've ever wanted is John Mayer to cover Pride and Joy. The playing style, the voice...it's all there. Honest to God, if JM just wanted to release an SRV cover album, I'm here for it.
You can just tell John Mayer got most of his influence from SRV. It really shows in his playing and especially his voice. Love both of their singing style and guitar playing.
BetrayedColt im a fan of living legend john mayer and a crazy fan of a past legend bb king and so do john mayer.. therefore john mayers biggest influnce is bb king my frend..not srv.
boeing plane gas , danger! rai That makes no sense. You like B.B. and so did he so that means B.B. was his biggest influence? Not following that logic. I like Jerry Garcia and so does John so that means Jerry was his biggest influence. Nope. He has said in interviews that SRV was his dude.
You know, one cannot say enough about Double Trouble. The most SOLID backing one could ever ask for. I had the honor to see SRV and Double Trouble at William and Mary College back in the summer of '84 and was absolutely blown away!!! Best concert I ever saw, and I saw a lot. It's a real shame what happened to Stevie. He is sorely missed.
SVR knew how good Double Trouble & was very loyal to his bandmates. When David Bowie wanted just SRV to go on tour with him, instead of SRV & Double Trouble as his opening band, SRV told him to go f himself. They pretty much never talked again.
we used to see him for free on the town lake lol i remember one show was SRV and Omar and the Howlers good thing it was outdoors no roof could have withstood that night
Ait was a sad day when Stevie left us, but now it's a happy day that he's in the rock and roll hall of Fame, thanks for the memories SRV and Double Trouble
In the back of my mind, I was waiting to hear that iconic thunder roar of Stevie’s number 1 Stratocaster with the amps turned up and tube screamer full throttle, Stevie walks in front of everyone and lights the place on fire with his energetic solos. RIP
@@StreetTruckinTitan this comment just shows how special mayer is cause you could only find mayer to bash infront of all these guitarists. Mayer is special and on srv's level if not better. You just cant say it cause srv has the legend tag on em.
@@yakshrajsingh8121Sorry, but it's very clear how Mayer is doing his best SRV impression here. Both in singing and guitar playing. It's not a bad thing, as he absolutely nails it though. Stevie would be proud
A wonderful moment commemorating a wonderful musician. When Jimmy started playing I felt really sad that Stevie isn’t here any more. We guitarists can’t seem to help comparing everyone to everyone else, but this was just the blues at its finest. It’s joy and it’s sorrow all mixed up together, and played beautifully.
All of them are such talented musicians but SRV had a way to sound like SRV. His guitar became a force of nature that future generations will be left speechless by. I still remember hearing him the first time and cannot wait to share that with my kids.
Yeah! Doyle grew up with his dad playing. I'm crazy about the guy's talent and he plays with Eric Clapton. Really wish Arc Angels would still be playing though
Yeah that dying cat note lover. Just smacks 1 note again and again and bends it as much as he can. This is what you people call "talent"?. A normal person listening would say nothing more than aweful for that useless 1 note solo. Even i could just bend and play random notes and make them sound like a dying cat and as corny as possible.

DBII is awesome. I saw his father Doyle senior at Jacks Sugar shack in LA. Saw him 2 nights in a row. Small little venue. I was able to meet him and speak with him both nights. What a class guy.
Gary Clark Jr. is a guy I could see filling the shoes of SRV. This is a great tribute. SRV is smiling down on all these great guitar players and most of all his brother.
Yes he is but... It would be nice if he cared for Blues like he cares for that pop crap of his... But there is most of the money today sadly, in comercial and pop music, I understand him when looking from that perspective. He is a mega-talent for Blues music.
I see ppl always comparing Stevie & Jimmy.. they are 2 great guitar players with different styles. Love them both ! Rest In Peace, Stevie and keep the Blues coming, Jimmie ! God Bless ✝🎸✝🎸✝
@@bolivingston1400 SRV said that his brother Jimmy is the much better rhythm guitarist. It is interesting that you know better about them than SRV himself. And when you listen to music in a concert and it is rocking and rolling and you stamp your feet and your head is shaking to the beat - who is responsible for that? The lead or the rhythm? So do your research about music and in 2 years maybe come back and write comments about a subject that actually is far beyond your horizon.
I remember where I was when I found out Stevie Ray was gone my friend who turned me on to his music had passed away a few years earlier. I sat down and cried
As a guitar player for many years and a blues lover, I must say that these fellows have done one of the greatest performances I’ve ever heard. Congratulations to all of them.
Beautiful Homage! Everyone did a little something cool. John's vibrato voice at the end of his verses was so comforting to hear. Hearing Stevie's vocal softness when John sang was pretty sweet. Gary Clark killed it though. Just wonderful to listen to.
DB2 is so underrated saw him solo twice . His father and SRV started a band together, he also played drums for several other well known blues artists. How can you not be influenced or inspired by your father working and hanging with Blues elite.
DB2 grew up immersed in the Austin blues scene. His father, DB1, played in a band with Jimmie for several years, then got together with Stevie after Jimmie formed the Fabulous Thunderbirds but before Stevie formed Double Trouble. Years later, DB1 became Stevie’s occasional songwriting partner and father-figure (he was several years older than Jimmie and Stevie). DB2 was growing up while all this was happening around him, so it’s no wonder he developed his talents. He’s been part of Eric Clapton’s touring band for awhile.
In an old interview on the syndicated Blues Deluxe radio show, I heard Stevie say that his older brother was his MAIN influence. Now, that's love and gratitude!
I love this tune rhe way Jimmie moves when he swings his guitar and jumps around with the rhythm ❤️💖. Am going to see Jimmie Vaugh live in Cincinnati on June 17 @Ludlow Garage!! So excited can't wait!! Best guitarist in my book.
I've been to a Gary Clark Jr's show recently... He was opening for Eric Clapton... man he's playing so much better now, great evolution, a real bluesman
Both guys are rock solid, on the money. Great players, much respect for Chris & Tommy. Ohhhhhh can't forget Reese Wynans, excellent keyword player. .. R.I.P. STEVIE. ...
Not to take ANYTHING AWAY from these Heavy Hitters, Love them all, they're just not my MAIN MAN SRV! The Inspirational Masterful Genius, Who imo is in a class all of his own ~~~~
It's amazing how people mistake Jimmie Vaughan's approach to guitar playing as bad. More notes does not necesarily equal greatness. Jimmie plays like the blues guitarists from the 60's like Hubert Sumlin, Robert Nighthawk, Albert Collins but has combined it into his own style. When you hear him play, you are hearing a time machine into the 50's and 60's style of blues guitar before Clapton and Hendrix came along. That's his intent. I'm sorry you don't know the history of blues guitar and blues music enough to realize nor appreciate yet what he's doing. But I get it and thank you Jimmie, I feel ya...every note! The guy has played on a Bob Dylan record...Dylan only gets the best players in the land.
you are fucked. If Hendrix was here he'd kick your ass for saying that. Any hero of SRV is fine by me. Get your head out of your ass where everything looks shitty !
@@alrangelal I think you really don`t understand what phrasing is, or that there can be different concepts of playing time. Playing behind the beat for example. Jimmy V. plays in the tradition of Texas blues masters like Gatemouth Brown or Johnny Guitar Watson (the capo players). That's why he plays in open position a lot. He is a blues guitar master, period.
@@alrangelal Jimmy has reinvented his style three or four times or so through the decades; the earliest stuff I've heard of him is from the sixties- a Les Paul, Marshalls, and tons of fast notes. He is, or at least was, the type of player that could pretty much play anything he wants to; sound any way he wants to sound. Listen to the T-birds records featuring him and I'm sure you will likely realize the ignorance of your statements. Poor Tommy, on the other hand, seems to be suffering from Parkinson's or something, sorry to say.
Jimmy was THE guitar man in Austin when Stevie was just a kid. I never heard him play until now. I've listened to everthing I can find, especially the Thunderbirds. He's a great licks or parts player. But his leads don't go anywhere. Every player on that stage illustrates why Jimmy never made it big. He learned licks but he never learned how to really play lead, to let it all hang out, express passion through his ax. He never plays a blue note, quarter tones, and eighth tones that are in between the frets. He never makes his guitar cry or scream. He never tells a story and builds it to a climax. He never gets off! I love the song he wrote after Stevie died, Six Strings Down, and the old Black bluesman style he plays it in. It has passion. Every time Stevie played, he played with energy and passion. He had all the chops and feeling Jimmy just doesn't. So does John Mayer and many others. Stevie is and always will be, one of the greats!
I get how you feel about him. But I totally disagree. I think Jimmy Vaughan is one of those players that grows on you. His simplistic licks, often repeated, is not a lack of ability, it's totally something he worked on. The time when I fell in love with his playing was when I bought the "Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004", and in the opening title, right when you hit "play", you hear Jimmy Vaughan playing "Texas Flood". That bit is one of the most powerful guitar playing I've ever heard, and I didn't even know it was him, I didn't know much about him. Since then became a huge fan. It's nuanced, his playing. So, I would kindly tell you to reconsider and open your mind… a lot of music is kinda hidden in between the cracks.. under everybody's nose. That's where you often find the most precious bits.
Jimmy has a completely different style from Stevie. Listen to his solo in Coal Train with SRV, Carlos Santana and Caesar Rosas. Currently my favorite live solo. Give it a serious listen
I'm always fascinated by Jimmie's left hand style, because he plays with straight fingers and takes them way off the fretboard between notes, making it hard to play in a fluid way. To me he's always making it look like hard work! It makes his lead playing seem disjointed and his phrasing erratic and it always seems to me he's short of ideas when improvising. He's not in the same class as JM and GCJ, although he was playing before either was born! He was appropriate for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, because his playing had a quality which seemed to better suit their music, which is not really pure blues.
it just shows how really great SRV was. None of these great players could match the fluidity, articulation, and confidence SRV had. He just made it look so natural and easy. Mayer was the best on here imo.
Mad respect for Jimmie. LOVED the Thunderbirds..., these younger players are fantastic..., glad they are 'blues stringers' BUT... SRV deserved EC, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Jeff Beck and any other older and respected 'stringers' for this induction and tribute. I half expected to see Buddy Guy, walk on and show his respect.
Chip Trimble I think it's pretty much perfect except for Mayer. Who better to give tribute than his own bother (Jimmy), his godchild (Doyle), and Austin's newest flame who is carrying the torch and had Jimmy as a mentor (Gary)....my only question is WTF is Mayer doing up there? Those other cats you mentioned are all great...but they were just friends. This is family (again aside from Mayer). Doyle could rip all of their heads off if he wanted...JS.
@@MGMNTmjn oh common, don't disrespect John like that, he's undoubtedly the best guitarist on the stage, he picked up a guitar because of srv, he absolutely deserves to be here, srv's biggest fan and now a superstar, praised by bb king and clapton, he clearly has made a case of him being a respected bluesman, don't undermine him by his singles(which aren't bad either), guy's got the blues and I get your point as well but John is the biggest fan of srv and he's a legacy of srv who's passing on the blues, he brought it into the mainstream as well so that's why he's here
Most of them held back, you could tell Gary and John did, normally in their own concerts they're moving super fast. John, as we all know, can play almost on Stevie's level, but the song wasn't about them so I think they didn't try too play like maddogs
4 great Guitarists, including Stevie's brother, all playing at once and they don't even hold a candle to Stevie's playing and intensity... Sounded null and Dull without him, shows what a once in a lifetime talent he truly was.
Jeeeezus, Gary Clark Jr is someone who I always, not forget about but ya just don't see very often and then BOOM he pops up every now & again and absolutely annihilates something like this.
I recently read an interview with Chris Layton of DT-he said how much fun they all had at this event, how much he loved Jimmie’s and John’s speeches, how good he thought their performance of Texas Flood was, and how much fun they all had playing together again. I was relieved to know that bc not all inductees have a positive experience. One of the trade magazines (can’t remember which) ranked all the RRHoF performances, and this one was ranked very high on that list.
John Mayer killed the vocals on this. Awesome. The best on that stage though was on the wall behind them looking over their shoulders. Nobody can play the Texas blues like SRV. NOBODY.
I still have to say what I have said for years... Jimmy tries he just doesn't have it....if you watch him, he's Working!!! Stevie Ray Played! Everyone on stage is PLAYING... Jimmy is still WORKING! Nice tribute!
It’s speaks volumes to Stevie’s talent when this stage full of elite guitarists sound as weak as they do trying to cover SRV. There’s just no comparison.
JohnnyG if you think it sounds horrible you’ve got some issues.... sure it’s not stevies version but it’s great.... jm, Gary Clark jr, jimmy and Doyle are all crazy good blues players
coolbreeze2000 Hawkins Philip Sayce is a killer player, but he definitely leans more towards the hendrix side of things. He uses a TON of vibe on his songs, an effect Stevie was never really a huge user of, unlike hendrix
I can't insert a picture here but that would be like the spiderman meme where he's pointing to another spiderman lmao joke aside, that would be a mixture of madness and harmony
JM playing his SRV signature strat on his hero's induction might have been the dream he had as a kid and now he finally made it come true.

It's sad you can't mention Chris Layton on drums and Tommy Shannon on Bass too. They are the foundation of the trio.
Both guys are rock solid, on the money. Great players, much respect for Chris & Tommy. Ohhhhhh can't forget Reese Wynans, excellent keyword player. .. R.I.P. STEVIE. ...
Both those guys are all class
And Reese Wynans on keys

As a Mayer and GCJ fan, I must say they slayed.
I am also a Mayer fan

One of the best tributes ever. The texas flood solo of JM. OMG! Just killed that solo. RIP SRV. Well deserved induction.
Gary Clark Jr always kills it. Everyone did here but hell yea Gary!
Im crying like im really crying
I feel so much connected to steve
JM is one of the best. Great tradicional blues guitar. Great vocal. Great records. Great histories. Much more them a brother
Damn helicopter
Yeah... And Damn Alpine Valley....
RIP SRV and Kobe.
Ain't it a shame. Ronny vanzant. And. Buddy holly. And Stevie. All went down. On,a plane or helicopter,,,,if Your rock star.take the bus man,,,
@@duaneholcomb8408 Metallica did that and look what happened to there bassist.
@@angelone1839 yea well. There ain't no,guarentees. Life is short. But many a rock,star has died in plane crashes. Just saying,,,,,you know,,,
It's fun to see Double Trouble !
Right!?
Actually Jimmy is better than All that are there
@@BlueberryStinkFinger62 lol jimmy sounded like an intermediete every time he played a solo.
People aren’t mentioning How Gary Clark killed it
most of these chuckle heads have no idea who he is
Gary Clark absolutely "killed it".....without a doubt
You know to be honest i would of loved to see him do this on his casino
@@thomasholland3289 Well, this one does now!, thanks fellas!!!
Had my head stuck in the sand for about 20 years, music ind let me down...
Gary is the only one who tried to attack the strings the way Stevie did it.. Noone can do it, but kinda seems he is the only one who got it..
The only one missing is the MAN HIMSELF!! SRV
Not to take ANYTHING AWAY from these Heavy Hitters, Love them all, they're just not my MAIN MAN SRV! The Inspirational Masterful Genius, Who imo is in a class all of his own ~~~~
I guess he was there, Pattio.
yes the man SRV wasn't there but big brother Jimmie Vaughn was there picking in his memory
Dean Swiatek ,fuckin helicopter pilots who were grounded ,not instrument rated, flying for GREED.
RIP SRV ñ Claptons' crew
that's because srv is dead
Look at Tommy Shannon, he was at Woodstock with Johnny Winter, now Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and the Little Whipper on drums Chris Layton what a band
It's amazing how people mistake Jimmie Vaughan's approach to guitar playing as bad. More notes does not necesarily equal greatness. Jimmie plays like the blues guitarists from the 60's like Hubert Sumlin, Robert Nighthawk, Albert Collins but has combined it into his own style. When you hear him play, you are hearing a time machine into the 50's and 60's style of blues guitar before Clapton and Hendrix came along. That's his intent. I'm sorry you don't know the history of blues guitar and blues music enough to realize nor appreciate yet what he's doing. But I get it and thank you Jimmie, I feel ya...every note! The guy has played on a Bob Dylan record...Dylan only gets the best players in the land.
Jimmie plays only the RIGHT notes...
you are fucked. If Hendrix was here he'd kick your ass for saying that. Any hero of SRV is fine by me. Get your head out of your ass where everything looks shitty !
@@alrangelal I think you really don`t understand what phrasing is, or that there can be different concepts of playing time. Playing behind the beat for
example. Jimmy V. plays in the tradition of Texas blues masters like Gatemouth Brown or Johnny Guitar Watson (the capo players). That's why he plays in open
position a lot. He is a blues guitar master, period.
@@alrangelal Jimmy has reinvented his style three or four times or so through the decades; the earliest stuff I've heard of him is from the sixties- a Les Paul, Marshalls, and tons of fast notes. He is, or at least was, the type of player that could pretty much play anything he wants to; sound any way he wants to sound. Listen to the T-birds records featuring him and I'm sure you will likely realize the ignorance of your statements. Poor Tommy, on the other hand, seems to be suffering from Parkinson's or something, sorry to say.
Out of tune notes, out of time, weak vibrato, living off his brothers name. Wank
Jimmy was THE guitar man in Austin when Stevie was just a kid. I never heard him play until now. I've listened to everthing I can find, especially the Thunderbirds. He's a great licks or parts player. But his leads don't go anywhere. Every player on that stage illustrates why Jimmy never made it big. He learned licks but he never learned how to really play lead, to let it all hang out, express passion through his ax. He never plays a blue note, quarter tones, and eighth tones that are in between the frets. He never makes his guitar cry or scream. He never tells a story and builds it to a climax. He never gets off! I love the song he wrote after Stevie died, Six Strings Down, and the old Black bluesman style he plays it in. It has passion. Every time Stevie played, he played with energy and passion. He had all the chops and feeling Jimmy just doesn't. So does John Mayer and many others. Stevie is and always will be, one of the greats!
I get how you feel about him. But I totally disagree. I think Jimmy Vaughan is one of those players that grows on you. His simplistic licks, often repeated, is not a lack of ability, it's totally something he worked on. The time when I fell in love with his playing was when I bought the "Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004", and in the opening title, right when you hit "play", you hear Jimmy Vaughan playing "Texas Flood". That bit is one of the most powerful guitar playing I've ever heard, and I didn't even know it was him, I didn't know much about him. Since then became a huge fan. It's nuanced, his playing. So, I would kindly tell you to reconsider and open your mind… a lot of music is kinda hidden in between the cracks.. under everybody's nose. That's where you often find the most precious bits.
Jimmy has a completely different style from Stevie. Listen to his solo in Coal Train with SRV, Carlos Santana and Caesar Rosas. Currently my favorite live solo. Give it a serious listen
I'm always fascinated by Jimmie's left hand style, because he plays with straight fingers and takes them way off the fretboard between notes, making it hard to play in a fluid way. To me he's always making it look like hard work! It makes his lead playing seem disjointed and his phrasing erratic and it always seems to me he's short of ideas when improvising. He's not in the same class as JM and GCJ, although he was playing before either was born! He was appropriate for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, because his playing had a quality which seemed to better suit their music, which is not really pure blues.
man look at double trouble, still cool as ever
💗💗💗
it just shows how really great SRV was. None of these great players could match the fluidity, articulation, and confidence SRV had. He just made it look so natural and easy. Mayer was the best on here imo.
SO glad I got to see SRV in Tulsa in about ‘83. Amazing.
John Mayer’s solo is just perfection 🤤
ANY TRUE BLUES LO💙ER KNOW 4 MINUTES AIN'T ENOUGH FOR A BLUES SONG
❤️❤️🎤🎸💥all these great musicians together I just love it one a my favorite songs
when you need 4 guitarists to do your job, you know you are the best
4 guys stood on stage and reminded the world that SRV had a fire that they all lack.
Stevie Ray is on that stage in every one of the guys+his playing with them in Heaven Beautiful Tribute ✌💙Stevie Ray you are So Missed❤
Gr8 stuff..cant be beat..srv our man..thanx fellas lovely tribute
Mad respect for Jimmie. LOVED the Thunderbirds..., these younger players are fantastic..., glad they are 'blues stringers' BUT...
SRV deserved EC, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Jeff Beck and any other older and respected 'stringers' for this induction and tribute.
I half expected to see Buddy Guy, walk on and show his respect.
Chip Trimble I think it's pretty much perfect except for Mayer. Who better to give tribute than his own bother (Jimmy), his godchild (Doyle), and Austin's newest flame who is carrying the torch and had Jimmy as a mentor (Gary)....my only question is WTF is Mayer doing up there?
Those other cats you mentioned are all great...but they were just friends. This is family (again aside from Mayer).
Doyle could rip all of their heads off if he wanted...JS.
When Mayer was on Austin City Limits years and years ago, he invited Buddy Guy and Double Trouble.
@@MGMNTmjn oh common, don't disrespect John like that, he's undoubtedly the best guitarist on the stage, he picked up a guitar because of srv, he absolutely deserves to be here, srv's biggest fan and now a superstar, praised by bb king and clapton, he clearly has made a case of him being a respected bluesman, don't undermine him by his singles(which aren't bad either), guy's got the blues
and I get your point as well but John is the biggest fan of srv and he's a legacy of srv who's passing on the blues, he brought it into the mainstream as well so that's why he's here
@@MGMNTmjn maybe because he's the best player on stage lmao (aside from other obvious reasons)
I love the respect and admiration musicians have for each other. Every guitar hero has his own guitar hero.
Wow! Fabulous!!!! Stevie I know just loved it!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I could listen to live blues all night every night
SRV REST IN PEACE! FOREVER LOVED!
Epic. SRV what an absolute legend.
I think Gary has the best voice of the group. You can tell he puts his soul into it when he sings.
I like the tribute aspect but... 4 guitars soundin' about like 1/3 of SRV's.
Most of them held back, you could tell Gary and John did, normally in their own concerts they're moving super fast. John, as we all know, can play almost on Stevie's level, but the song wasn't about them so I think they didn't try too play like maddogs
they play to respect not to brag their skills
It’s slowed down a touch too
@@sophocles3219 almost? As far as pure technical ability he surpasses SRV.
@@LaserrSharp true, but in raw power and speed srv was better. John may have more conventional knowledge of the guitar but stevie was better at it
I imagine, jim Morrison, janice joplin, jimmy jendrix, stevie, and all the fallen musicians just jamming up on rock heaven.
4 great Guitarists, including Stevie's brother, all playing at once and they don't even hold a candle to Stevie's playing and intensity... Sounded null and Dull without him, shows what a once in a lifetime talent he truly was.
Great tribute though
absolutely true. no one and i mean no one has srv's sound and intensity. he didn't play his guitar, he attacked it.
The Double Trouble is fantastic 👏👏👏 Forever S.R.V
They all kept looking around at each other as if Stevie was supposed to come in and do his thang. Wish u were here still srv.
Man, all the solos in this are great but JM is clearly on another level
Jeeeezus, Gary Clark Jr is someone who I always, not forget about but ya just don't see very often and then BOOM he pops up every now & again and absolutely annihilates something like this.
Just. YES.....what else can I say........
SO AWESOME Stevie Ray is up there jamming with them💋👀🖤😊
Just shows how extremely good Stevie was.. Love you Jimmie!
John Mayer has an amazing Stevie tone in his voice... goosebumps and watery eyes... SRV for life!
I recently read an interview with Chris Layton of DT-he said how much fun they all had at this event, how much he loved Jimmie’s and John’s speeches, how good he thought their performance of Texas Flood was, and how much fun they all had playing together again. I was relieved to know that bc not all inductees have a positive experience. One of the trade magazines (can’t remember which) ranked all the RRHoF performances, and this one was ranked very high on that list.
John Mayer killed the vocals on this. Awesome. The best on that stage though was on the wall behind them looking over their shoulders. Nobody can play the Texas blues like SRV. NOBODY.
Comeback after 5 years just to hear John's solo
I love this man! 😍
It doesn’t get much better than this!!!!!
stevie was the man ...because albert king said so! ...great performance, thanx for sharing it!
Agreed 🤘
Some of my hometown heroes. Texas blues goddammit ain't nothing like it !!
I love john Mayers music, but the only who could get to the high pitch and voice of Stevie was Gary Clark jr, he is so underrated.
I love that Clapton lick that Gary always use...
The next Blues generation!
Gary Clark Jr. killed it on the vocals... and JM killed it during his guitar solo! Good shiz!
I still have to say what I have said for years... Jimmy tries he just doesn't have it....if you watch him, he's Working!!! Stevie Ray Played! Everyone on stage is PLAYING... Jimmy is still WORKING! Nice tribute!
Looka' hear. A gang of Bluesmen doing what they do best -- play beautiful Blues. They're my Pride and Joy❣❣❣
I love these guy but most a all I miss S R Vaughan I used to sing this song in my home town band I miss so much❤️❤️🎤🎸
Gracias, muchachito hermoso lleno de cualidades.Emi Arbo 😊❤👏👏👏👏👏👏.
It’s speaks volumes to Stevie’s talent when this stage full of elite guitarists sound as weak as they do trying to cover SRV. There’s just no comparison.
David Roper should have had Phillip Sayce & KWS
Indeed................ this sounds absolutely horrible.
David Roper Except there are tons of guitarists out there who could do more justice
JohnnyG if you think it sounds horrible you’ve got some issues.... sure it’s not stevies version but it’s great.... jm, Gary Clark jr, jimmy and Doyle are all crazy good blues players
coolbreeze2000 Hawkins Philip Sayce is a killer player, but he definitely leans more towards the hendrix side of things. He uses a TON of vibe on his songs, an effect Stevie was never really a huge user of, unlike hendrix
Sweet! Boy does this take me back!...Ty soo much guys for this!
Just imagine if we got to see John and Stevie play together
I can't insert a picture here but that would be like the spiderman meme where he's pointing to another spiderman lmao
joke aside, that would be a mixture of madness and harmony
I only wish Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame can be more about Rock Music like these
Stevie was one of the greatest things that ever existed in this world , he was a heavensent !
I love that John threw in the opening of Honey bee!
John's body movement when doing the intro, you know he really studied SRV so much
You too
Nothing better than a Chris Layton shuffle. It just sounds like it's supposed to.
