Title: Re: SRV Post by: Black Diamond Vol on July 03, 2013, 02:00:32 EDT I would hesitate to call him the "greatest" guitarist ever. Even he admitted that his music was very derivative of others, especially Hendrix. But from a pure technical standpoint, I think he was the best who ever lived. And as a live performer, no one even comes close.
Have you heard of Gary Clark Jr.? He's an up and coming blues/rocker from Austin. For that reason, he's often compared to SRV. And while he's not THAT good, he's still probably the best young guitarist going right now. http://www.youtube.com/v/tOeFJF3tTSU Title: Re: SRV Post by: PirateVOL on July 03, 2013, 02:27:02 EDT I would hesitate to call him the "greatest" guitarist ever.

His performance at Monterey is my favorite live performance, period. |
