LOVE SRV!!

Best thing to come out of Texas

[DJ Mbenga]

he's us there with hendrix and that guitarist from the RHP. i cant spell his name

[ohmwrecker]

Overrated. Stevie Ray was pretty derivative tbh. Albert King did everything SRV did before SRV did. Hendrix was much better, more inventive and changed electric guitar forever.

[monosylab1k]

Tom DeLonge of Blink 182 says hi.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Albert King did everything SRV did before SRV did. ever so slightly agree, but its not like AK was the first ever blues guitar player. Mr Johnson ring a bell? Stevie played a little more in key than Albert :lol


Hendrix was much better, more inventive and changed electric guitar forever.Pfffffffff. Not taking away what jimi did, Stevie played jimi better than jimi did. Without a doubt. Stevie would bring Jimi to tears if they were both around.

[Booharv]

Hendrix is not only flat out better than Vaughn, he's about 1000x more innovative and original.

[silverblk mystix]

There are so many great guitarists around-past and present, who can say-let alone decide who is the best ever?

I love SRV's fire and his soul, but best ever? Hard to say.

As soon as you nominate a rock or blues player for example, someone could cite a classical or flamenco player, a jazz virtuoso, a metal pyrotechnic wizard, etc...

There are great guitarists that are or were never that famous-or famous at all-yet they were/are freakin' amazin...

I have been blown away by little 11 year old kids who were just wailin' away on a randy rhoads solo-note for note.


You can scan youtube and discover virtuosos no one ever heard of and they can do anything...

Best ever?

No one will ever win that title.

silverblk mystix not bad! :tu

but those solos lose out on three different levels to mine.

First: The difficulty, what your pal is doing is really a lot of stretching of the strings and he slows down many times to catch his breath and doesn't have his own style it's more like he is mixing SRV with Hendrix

Second: the length of the solo, it is not as long as Michael Schenker's solo not to mention the speed of Michael Schenker's fingers and unique style he has it has yet to be duplicated by anyone.

Third: Unlike your Gary Moore Michael Schenker is able to do his solo w/o making face like he is getting a rectal exam by Andre the giant

GAME OVER!

[Jose Canseco]

Love SRV. Crazy skillz. The guitar seemed like it was party of his body, so natural.

Someone mentioned Albert King. I really enjoy their session collaboration. Here's King with SRV doing a session version of "Ask Me No Questions." It's not SRV's greatest display of his skills. Really just a jam session. But what's great about it is that Stevie didn't know the song at all and Albert just told him what key it was in and to just follow along. Pretty sick, if you ask me.

Odemgv5eLok


He's not really the same caliber of solo guitarist as some mentioned here, but when I saw this, I was really impressed with the guitar skills of Nuno Bettencourt. He's the former guitarist of that cheesy 90s rock band Extreme. This is an acoustic version of his instrumental song "Midnight Express." It's not really like a guitar solo because it's mostly strumming, but it is a full song and much longer than most solos, and it's more about the difficulty of the finger positioning and changes of his left hand. Pretty ill.

Love SRV. Aggressive and soulful player.
But come on.....Hendrix wasn't human,he visited us from outer space just to blow our minds for a few years....and then he traveled on.

I can't imagine what it must have been like to watch Hendrix live,or hear his shit for the first time in '67,'68.......maybe it was like being born into a hypothetical world where everyone only played ukalele's and you were raised in that world.....some ukalele players were better than others,some even liked to smash their ukalele's at the end of their show....but in the end,they were all just strumming and humming.
http://www.affordablemauiweddings.com/Images/Rev.%20Ken%20With%20Ukulele-1.JPG..........

Then, one day.....you put on a record,or go to a show and there's this dude who is NOT playing a ukalele, he's blowin your fucking mind. WTF is that? What's he's doing? Is that a man playing on a piece of wood with six strings on it......? It can't be. :( How does it sound like that? :lol EUPHORIA and PARANOIA hits you. :hat

Soon after this man comes and goes....no one's playing ukalele's anymore.

I imagine that might have been how it went for alot of people.

Nobody comes close to Hendrix...and nothing comes close to Machine Gun as a guitar lead in this universe. Skip to 3:45 for the lead if you must(not recommended).
You should hear this on CD and not some crappy old youtube vid but WTF right?

I don't believe that anyone will ever come along again that will revolutionize the instrument(or probably even rock music again) like Jimi Hendrix did.

Hendrix was great, no doubt, but I prefer SRV for blues guys.
With Rock on the other hand, I go with Randy Rhoads all the way.
Not to mention Randy and I share the same birthplace :D

[cornbread]

It's all subjective of course, but to me SRV played the guitar better than anybody I've ever heard or seen, and nothing demonstrates that better than when he played Texas Flood at El Mocambo. From the singing to the guitar work, the performance is so powerful and honest. You can see the pain in his face when he played. And that performance has some of the nastiest tone you'll ever hear. A Strat with a Tube Screamer run through a Fender Twin (I think), and strings so thick you could use them on a piano. It all came together on that night. We're lucky it was captured on film.

My picks for elite of the elite also include Paul Gilbert, Yngwie, Satch, Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Chuck Berry, Randy Rhoads and Tom Morello. All phenomenal in their way and brought something new and innovative to the game.

I don't include Jimi because he's simply in his own class. With Jimi, it's not a question of who's better and who's not. His contribution is far too profound for that conversation IMO.

And the best guitarist in San Antonio for the last 15 years or so is with a doubt Ruben V.

All good points. :toast

I watch the El Mocambo DVD every now and then...it is one of his best captured performances.

I do believe the amp was a Fender Vibroverb, however, the one with the 15'' speaker. The tone is nasty and bluesy.

Sorry, can't say I know or have ever heard of Ruben V.

[BacktoBasics]

SRV was amazing.

I think the bulk of the people posting in this thread really have no idea who Brian Carroll or Buckethead really is. I think they associate the guy with heavy metal or death thrash blah blah so on and so forth.

Most of the people listed in this thread are extremely gifted in their genre or at best a few genres. Whereas Brian Carroll embodies diversity and range. He does it all. There is simply no one out there as talented as he is if you look at the full scope of his accomplished body of work.

Rock, Metal, Bluegrass, Electronica, Blues, Pop, R&B and so on. He's not just dabbled in all avenues of guitar he's masterfully performed across the board.

I bet we could put on over half his albums or albums where he's featured and very few in this thread would even recognize nor believe its his work. He just doesn't get the credit he deserves.

[ohmwrecker]

ever so slightly agree, but its not like AK was the first ever blues guitar player. Mr Johnson ring a bell? Stevie played a little more in key than Albert :lol

Pfffffffff. Not taking away what jimi did, Stevie played jimi better than jimi did. Without a doubt. Stevie would bring Jimi to tears if they were both around.

Don't you Pfffffffff me . . . SRV played cleaner than Jimi. I wouldn't say better. It's a matter of taste, I suppose, but Jimi was an innovator. His style transcended any perceived lack of technical skill because he developed his own technique that no one has ever really exceeded.

[mrsmaalox]

It's kind of impossible to discount the guitar playing skills of any of the players mentioned here, because they are all so obviously skilled. It's impossible to declare anyone the greatest because there are so many factors, other than skill, that come into play in the final product that we hear. We all have our own tastes when it comes to style and sound and how it moves us. I love Jack White's playing but what he plays it in isn't always appealing to me. I really like the loose, twangy sound of guys like Neil Young and Dwight Yaokum but those are really only attractive in the context of the rest of what is going on in the music. Guys like Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, and Jimi Hendryx I know are very skilled, but I get overwhelmed by boredom in hearing everything else that surrounds their playing. And I love Eric Clapton's playing, just because I love Eric Clapton :)

But for me, the ultimate guitar experience is SRV. I love the sound and the style, and I love how it makes me feel. All of it put together with his slurring vocals is pure steamy, sensuality for me. He's my greatest :smokin

I respect Prince as an all around musician but I think his Singing and his guitar playing are his weakest points. He can play but his playing is very basic and in my opinion nowhere near on the same level as an SRV or a Hendrix or most of the players mentioned in this thread.

I had seen this video awhile back and thought he was okay-but he basically played a pentatonic blues scale and his tone was nothing special-just a tele with a piercing distortion that I didn't think was that great.
What I thought ruined it for me though was his obvious showboating--because he seemed to be...separate from the rest of the band and of course him tossing the guitar and walking off without even acknowledging the band or audience just reeked of douchieness and prima donna-ness. If I was in that band I would feel kinda pissed that the little douche tried to make it all about himself.
If you ever watched someone like SRV play with other famous musicians-you could just see how humble SRV was and actually deferred to less talented people as a show of love and respect. SRV could have tried to cut heads and embarrass someone-but he always took the graceful route.

The only positive thing I can think of Prince's little act---if I really want to look at this in a positive light--and give Prince the benefit of the doubt is this;

You can argue that Prince was thinking of just putting on a star performance and giving no quarter and just having a star moment that would transcend the song to another level...but I don't really get that feeling from watching Prince walk off the stage by himself. The actual guitar playing was not that great to allow him to act like a guitar god.

Like the rest of the band didn't know what he was going to do . . . they all looked like they were digging the show to me. Prince is a showman. That's what he does. Hendrix was a good enough guitar player to just let his playing speak for itself, but he put on a show too.
Don't kid yourself about SRV either. He had an ego and could hot dog and showboat with the best of 'em. I saw him do it.

Sorry, can't say I know or have ever heard of Ruben V.

Ruben V is a San Antonio guy who's been doing his thing since the mid-90's or so. Back then he was very "Texas blues" but his style and songwriting evolves constantly. That's the reason why 15 years later you still see a lot of the same faces along with new ones at his shows.

As guitar player and lover, you should make it a point to see one of his gigs next you're in SA. His live shows are everything you would want from a top-notch blues picker. And he's a phenomenal singer!

Check out his Web site. He's got some free MP3 for download.

Mouse & others....

I just re-listened to this whole thread....because I had time today...

some thoughts;

Some really great stuff...that Shawn Lane? guy...he is a monster...probably faster than most...but maybe too much speed -too many runs-instead of just feeling-he depends on speed too much...but boy what a monster guitar player..

A lot of great stuff...and we didn't even post any Knopfler, Gilmore, among others...

but sorry,
Rock Bottom has been dethroned....

after re-listening..I even had to change my all time fave after this....voodoo chile is not the best...

it is


Machine Gun...(and I had heard this many,many times...but I really,really listened to it all-and wow...)

Machine Gun is 10 times the solo than rock bottom is....Schenker & Co. actually had me a bit bored when I re-listened....


Sorry, Mouse....you need to reconsider with an open mind...

Listen to Machine Gun....listen to Jimi wailing with feeling, soul, power, mastery, fluidity, grace, otherworldliness. Listen to the meaning of the song about soldiers being torn to pieces...listen as the solo goes from a fiery blues runs to incendiary rocket noises!!!!, bombs bursting!!!!... rocket launchers!!!!...

from a goddammnn guitar....


Champion: Machine Gun

Be honest mouse and change your sig!

Just sic. :hat Like i mentioned in my post....i CANNOT IMAGINE what it would have been like to witness a performance like that....live and in person....
in 19fucking70.

My favorite moment is the first note of the lead that just hangs there....forever, then just when you think he's going to let you off the hook....same note again.....and it hangs forever....again.

Yeah,(and like u mentioned)he breaks out with what sounds to me like air-raid sirens in the middle section.
Later as it slows down and the eerie backing vocals from Buddy Miles start, Jimi tries to match the vocal tone with the feedback.....fucking wild.

:blah Sorry man,i get all geeked up when trying to describe that performance.

Don't challenge my knowledge of blues guitar players, sir.I really don't recall where I challenge you at anything, but if I did it definitely was a false alarm.
I thought King was an appropriate reference due to the similarities in playing style and tone. Well, yeah. The way you stated it, I assumed you were saying that SRV wasn't ever so slightly influenced by any other guitar player.
Stevie Ray would have been the first to admit the influence. Yes, I know. That's the reason for that famous session.

Don't you Pfffffffff me . . . I think you put one too many "f"s......
SRV played cleaner than Jimi. I'm very aware of that.
I wouldn't say better.Well, see, that's why my initial post was
Depends.sure it depends on whatever criteria you're putting them against. each one can "beat" the other one on certain levels of playing.
It's a matter of taste, I suppose, butYes, it is a matter of taste.
but Jimi was an innovator. That's something I can't base my opinion on simply because of birthdate. Some musicians just get better at a different rate than other musicians.
His style transcended any perceived lack of technical skill because he developed his own technique that no one has ever really exceeded.I don't know. Like I said, it depends.

yeah right shawn lane reminds me of mookie when he picks up my 50 dollar accoustic and tries to play it as fast as he can although he doesnt know a single chord.

[mojorizen7]

I've never been a big fan of the speed guys as much.
The only guitarist i really ever dug into that could shred with speed was Eric Johnson.....probably because of his melodic phrasing and tone. He also was very versatile,and because of that he sort of dissappeared from the mainstream quite awhile ago.

For me it's always been pretty much these 4 guys:
Hendrix
Gilmour
E. Johnson
The Edge

and Alex Lifeson.

He is obviously very talented and labeling a guy as "the best" is very subjective, but personally, I don't dig guys that play billions of notes as fast as they can. It's music, not a race. I much prefer guys who play with soul and style over speedy, technical wizards. It's not really about the number of notes and how fast you can play them, but the notes you don't play and the tension and dynamics of the space between the notes.

Just listen to a David Gilmore and see how mature his playing is...every note...is meaningful and toneful and he rarely shows off or plays a bunch of runs in a row just to fill up space.

Jimi encompassed almost everything that makes great guitar playing...and if you switch the topic to RHYTHM playing...oh my god...just try to tell me that Jimi was NOT a monster and master rhythm player also.

Agree wholeheartedly.
OT: The same can be said of films too IMO.....in terms of scoring an original soundtrack etc...and where to place it within the framework of the film itself.
"The Dark Knight" is an example of this. Zero tension and very little impact because the music never stops.

Machine Gun is 10 times the solo than rock bottom is.....
Sorry, Mouse....you need to reconsider with an open mind...

Listen to Machine Gun....listen to Jimi wailing ...listen as the solo goes from a fiery blues runs to incendiary rocket noises!!!!, bombs bursting!!!!... rocket launchers!!!!...

ok brah put down the redbull and remember this is about talent not sound effects.



from a goddammnn guitar....!

Pssssst! it's called a foot pedal, those are sound effects and Jimmy had many. with the right foot pedals I can have the space shuttle fly out my ass if I want.

Rock bottom had none. I used to not only play guitar but have seen over 100 rock bands from 1977 to 1989 so when I say rock bottom is the most unique and hard to play solo ever you can take that shit to the bank esse.

Mouse, don't edit my posts to say something different than what I said...

I said that Jimi played in the 60's and there were NOT TOO MANY EFFECTS COMPARED TO THE COMPUTER STUFF OF TODAY!

I know what a wah pedal is ...you can't compare using a wah to some other shit that other lesser skilled guitarists cover their weaknesses with...

The solo on Machine Gun was very appropriate because the song was about war and about soldiers getting ripped to shreds with a machine gun...when Jimi played that fantastic solo he was unrestrained in getting his point across...

Jimi was 100 times the guitarist that Shenker was/is and I don't hate Shenker..it is just a fact...

The solo on rock bottom may not even be Shenker's best as he had other solos that rivaled that one...but he still was nowhere near Jimi...

and ...I know enough about solos...no need for the insults..I have played my share and still do...but that means nothing when we are just having a friendly debate...no need to try and throw insults because we don't agree on something so trivial as a favorite guitar solo...

[silverblk mystix]

Mouse,

Did you ever hear Jimi play acoustic?

Seems like he was pretty amazing with an acoustic guitar-funny ...no effects.

If you wanna discredit Jimi for using effects...let's talk about pickups...

Why did Shenker feel the need to use humbuckers?

Jimi got all that sound and tone from single coils...why did shenker use humbuckers...maybe cause he needed that extra distortion and sustain-which Jimi got with single coils?

and those effects that you just posted were recently released...this is somebody's version of what jimi used...but Jimi didn't have all this technology...

The effects he had available at the time were pretty much;
Wah pedal
Vibe pedal
echoplex


that is probably it. Does this make him less talented because he knew how to coax sounds out of the tools he had?

And sometimes they get bored with letting the notes breathe, too. There isn't a whole lot of Lane out there, but he could play any style amazingly well. I suppose Ornette Coleman and Coltrane couldn't really hack it playing standards so they had to go avant garde...

Humbuckers make an amplifier distort faster...depending on the amp and the volume.

[mouse]

The speed of sound does not slow down or speed up from what type of pickups you have. And even if it did (humoring you) it would be so small and minute of a difference only a dog or scientist at NASA would have the ability to gauge it.
you better stick to just posting youtube videos dude. :lmao

Also distortion is an effect that can be used "after" the guitar pickup sends the sound to the amp or through a foot pedal. some amps have distortion built in but it still needs sound first (hence the word pickup) before it can distort it.

Don't get your purple haze panties all waded up over all this, learn from it and be a better person. :toast

Its a known fact eating fried chicken before you play the guitar allows your fingers to glide easily up and down the neck of the guitar. no one but yourself brought up the fact Shenker is German but yourself so who is the racist here?

And what does being a German have to do with Popeye's chicken?

That is for others to decide and why are you going off topic this is about Guitar solos not comedy,race,or the speed of sound debates.

You are seriously misinformed.
Do some research on electric guitar pickups BEFORE you try to claim some superiority on this issue.

You can see for your self anytime if you had an amp and a guitar with both types of pickups.

I can set my amp to its cleanest settings and play a strat with only single coils and the amp will not begin to distort til the amp volume is on 6 or 7 or 8 and the guitars volume on 10.

I can do the same test on a guitar with humbuckers and the amp will begin to distort at 3 and up.

This is fact. Do some research.

It still really does not have that much to do when comparing Shenker to Hendrix.

If you REALLY believe Michael Shenker was anywhere near the same league as Jimi Hendrix then you have just told this whole thread and its contributors exactly how knowledgeable you really are.

I can see you have "distort" and "distortion" confused.

Distort is when someone like you takes a topic about SRV and uses it to try and show everyone your lack of knowledge about sound and long Google'd research on how Guitars really work.

Distortion is an effect that is created, it's not from turning up your sound of your amp, if that was the case no one would need to buy "Distorion" foot pedals.



Distortion (music)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Distortion, similar to overdrive or fuzz, is an effect applied to the electric guitar, the electric bass, and other amplified instruments such as the Hammond organ, synthesizers, and even harmonica and vocals. Accomplished by electronically compressing and/or clipping the input signal, this effect adds sustain and additional harmonics and overtones to the signal, creating a richer sound. The most subtle types of distortion add a "warm" thickness to the original tone; the more extreme types of distortion range from the noisy, buzzy sound of a late 1960s-era fuzztone pedal to the screaming, "bite", "grit", and "crunch" of a late 1980s thrash-style distortion pedal. Distortion is used across a wide range of musical genres, from the subtle overdrive used in traditional blues to the hard-edged distortion featured in noise music, hardcore punk, industrial, grunge, and metal.

Early examples of distortion were often the result of accidents in which the guitar amplifier or its vacuum valves was damaged, or because the speakers were "doctored" by poking holes into their speaker cones. One notable example was Link Wray, who dislodged a tube by accident, and then took to doing so as a habit to get a noisy, dirty sound for his solos. Observing this trend, Leo Fender of the Fender amplifier company designed valve guitar amps that would "overdrive" slightly.[citation needed] In the 1960s, fuzzbox effect pedals were popularized by guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix and George Harrison.

Distortion can be produced by many components of an instrument's signal path, including effects pedals, the pre-amplifier, power amplifier, speakers, or more recently, digital amplifier modelling devices and software. Many players use a combination of these to obtain their "signature" tone.





This is fact. Do some research.

Me doing anymore research on guitars is like you doing research in tossing salads, face it... we are both good at what we do already.


It still really does not have that much to do when comparing Shenker to Hendrix.

If you knew that already we would not be discussing this matter any further.
Just pick up whats left of your shattered ass try and glue it back together and lets move on...

I get tired of being accused of hijacking topics when in fact its the other posters who are on this mouse hunt fetish. I merely reply back out of respect.

After this debate I have come to the same conclusions. I often bypass best of topics because what I love you may hate. But since the topic was about SRV I noticed I had an opportunity to post my Rock bottom video.

In reality Jimi Hedrix is above many guitar players for the mere fact he was "before" them. I was shocked you didn't pull out the seniority card.

After all who is to say michael schenker didn't listen to Jimi Hendrix when growing up and it may have influiced his style of playing and may have been the reason he even decided to play the electric guitar.

Many times I read where 80s bands talk about the music that influenced them growing up Jimi Hendrix is always on the list.

I myself have been known to defend the Beatles,CCR and Kraftwerk because they was around before many 80s bands were old enough to buy beer.
So the topic would have been better if it read "SRV.........best guitarist of the decade" because its not wise to try and compare 1960 with 1980 or 1990
each decade had its style and technology to produce music its not fare to compare Bob Dylan with Ozzy Osborne.

So long story short I will admit Jimi Hendrix is superior to Michael Schenker.
please accept my apology's.

So long story short I will admit Jimi Hendrix is superior to Michael Schenker.
please accept my apology's.

good day gentlemen.

Dude I live in a trailer........I am just happy to find a half a 40oz in the fridge.....


I don't drink beer because it taste good.... I drink beer to catch a wave.

drink at least 7 to 8 rolling rocks before you make an excuse not to hit the dance floor.
