He came out with that Fender with no paint and ripped into Voodoo chile.. I saw him 11 times after that.I've seen Clapton, Page, Eddie, Steve Howe, Trower and lots of the other Guitar greats... SRV was the best and still is to today,,, IMHO |

IMHO I dunno...I think he spent his career trying hard to BE Jimi Hendrix...all the way down to a 3 piece band. When you listen to the new Jimi...it's there. Connect the dots. Jimi was the innovator...SRV was the copier. Don't get me wrong, because I'd put both of those in my personal top 10 of all time...that's the way I see it. SRV shreds when he's doing Hendrix...no doubt...Jimi didn't have the opportunity to be on the scene as long as SRV...and we're still listening to Jimi...FROM THE GRAVE...Jimi could very well pick up a Grammy this year. |

The Greatest Guitarist? Hard to say. There are a lot of great ones. I personally think Joe Bonamassa is truly one of the greatest guitarists there ever were. Hell, he opened for B.B. King when he was 8 years old. This video here recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2009 is a *damn*good*song*. It's a cover of ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid". One hell of a song with some Zepplin thrown in, too. The dual drummers are great. Very cool song that might not show this guy's true talent, but a rockin' song none-the-less.
Check it out, and the polite Londoners who keep their seats during the show . . .

SRV compared to Eric Clapton, compared to Jimi Hendrix, are totally different styles and genres! Compare apples to apples not oranges. SRV was a southern texan blues artist. His brother blew it! Eric Clapton (was God at one point) is a british-blues artist. Jimi Hendrix was a maniac on the frets with no genre attached - rock, blues, physcho. Joe Bonamassa is just one of many great American blues artists.
All inspired by the likes of John Lee Hooker, Albert King, Freddie King, BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, John Mayall, Taj Mahal, and too many other masters to mention.
Eddie Van Halen, Stev Vai and the like... give me a break. They can't hold a fret to the the masters that inspired them. |

Lot of greats named so far, and agree with as previously stated by cac that a lot of these are apples and oranges comparisons. The reasons why I love Jimi Hendrix's work are not necessarily the same as why I love SRV, Duane Allman, Adrain Belew, Randy Rhodes, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Burks, Link Wray or any number of other peoples work. Plus, we all know that the best guitarist ever was really Steven Seagal, in fact, if you ask him, he'll tell you how he invented the electric guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0uSvihFZn0 |

+1 and I'd like to add his son Dweezil Zappa to the list. I saw him play with Zappa Plays Zappa with Steve Vai who he blew off the stage. Vai's playing just didn't flow at all. I'd also like to add Fripp and Belew to the list as well. Peter Frampton has some pretty good chops as well. Great when he toured with David Bowie. Also have to give a shout out to Lester Flatt. Legendary Bluegrass picker. |

I like most of Clapton's music but he was boring in concert when I saw him in the '80s. Oh, I don't know... Excerpt from People Magazine (September 1990): Shortly afterward, at 12:15 A.M. on Aug. 27, the exhilarated musicians left the stage through a rear exit. Vaughan, 35, had planned to make the two-hour drive back to his Chicago hotel with his brother and sister-in-law, Connie, but at the last minute he chose to board a Bell 206B Jet Ranger, one of four helicopters waiting nearby. According to his New York City publicist, Charles Comer, Vaughan had learned from Clapton's manager that there were seats enough to accommodate all three in his party. When he found only one place was actually available, Vaughan said to Connie and Jimmie, "Do you mind if I take the seat? I really need to get back."
The helicopter took off in fog around 12:40 A.M. with Vaughan and four others aboard. Sweet Chicago would never be reached. Moments later the chopper's remains lay spread across more than 200 feet of a man-made ski slope in a field dotted with bittersweet and Queen Anne's lace. All on board were killed instantly in what National Transportation Safety Board investigator William Bruce later described as "a high-energy, high-velocity impact at a shallow angle."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnA3ByovJpo |
