Members guitapick Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 Yeah...I think Stevie liked Jimi a little bit. Much as I love SRV, I always thought of him as a blues player. Thought Hendrix took it a few steps further out there. Both were great.Nice clip. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pink freud Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 didn't SRV take just as much from albert lee as he did from hendrix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kdp86 Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 The OP is right though, and he's admitted it, but from what I've read, he claims that Albert King was one of his biggest influences.

Members Bmajor Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 I sometimes wonder if Stevie really knew how good he was but whether he knew it or not, he was always the first to admit how much he owed to those who came before him. Humble almost to a fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blind radish Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 SRV channeled Jimi and Albert and many others into his own unique style. RIP SRV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 SRV was a 1-4-5 master. I love the walking bass lines he sometimes adds in his playing. Very solid. He def' had alot of influences. From what I have read here and there, he mentions his brother, Hendrix and Abert King as his main influences. The King and Hendrix are easy to hear in his playing. Nothing wrong with that. Not a HUGE fan of SRV...I am more of a pre-brit invasion blues type stuff. BUT it cant be denied that SRV is a blues legend.

Rory def' had that "down home" feeling. I like that aspect of the blues form. That street corner "vibe" so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EdMan63 Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 Both of them were so humble. SRV loved Jimi and I'm sure he would have loved SRV. The world of guitar playing is a better place due to both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members p4vl Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 Leo Fender invented both of them. So what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 360 Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 I can listen to Hendrix's records. The guy did all that post-Beatles experimentation stuff and broke as much ground with recording music as he did with playing it. I can watch SRV but I have tried to listen to his records and they just don't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 360 Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 Leo Fender invented the Stratocaster Kurt Rondo perfected it Too bad Kurt didn't realise what CBS did to the Fender name. If he did maybe he would not have moved to NH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burgess Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 Originally posted by p4vl Leo Fender invented both of them. So what? Leo didn't even play. Of course Jimmy Bryant was the one who gave Leo the feedback he needed to finish the Tele. And like it or not, Jimmy would've taken anybody mentioned in this thread to school.Deal with it.

Oh, of course he would have been blown off of the stage by either of them, even at their respective heights of addiction. But SRV playing a Goldtop LP? Hendrix playing an archtop? Seems wrong to me. Not that Leo Fender is a direct influence on either players' style, but the Stratocaster was their weapon of choice for their best material. Just sayin' is all....

Members guitapick Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 Albert King was the cornerstone for a lot of players out there, now. Roy Buchanan loved him. Some player, Mr. Buchanan was.What I love about both Jimi and SRV is that their rhythm work was just as good (great) as the leads. They were so great.I was in Manny's one day, checking out a Strat. Had just put it down and in comes this non-descript guy. Sales guy sets him up a couple of amps away from me, with a then new Korg guitar synth. After a couple of licks I look at the salesguy and say "Hey...he sounds like Stevie on a synth". This "non-descript guy" smiles, switches to clear tone, and plays this unbelievable riff. I look up and practically everybody in the store's standing there; eyes popping out of their heads.Some experience. Just listening to him for about 10-15 minutes, playing licks on a synth, was awesome. And he was so good about it. Kept on playing like we weren't even there. Just another player in the store, checking out some gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
