      Technically, a lot of guitarists can play exactly his songs and style note for note, and emulate his sound nearly perfectly. But to duplicate his voice, that is another matter. And to duplicate his live stage performance while also playing and singing just like him, well, forget it.

I was in this little bar Lubbock Texas with some friends there was probably only 7 people in the whole place. He was being social with everyone.

    SRV was just an insane talent. Even other great guitarists have been in awe of him when they seem him play. Most guitarists, even the really good ones, seem to think as they play and you can see them think their way around the fretboard, but not SRV. The music flowed from him through the guitar. What makes his playing even more impressive is that to get his tone, he played heavy gauge strings and could still bend at the first fret and play that fast... amazing.

He took up the guitar when he was 15yo & within a couple years turned into a hell of a blues/rock guitarist. He's now a consummate all round musician and recording engineer.

    Pronounced (VAWN) I got to know Jimmie Vaughan, a little bit in the 1980s. I met Stevie once when he was playing a club in Houston called Fitzgerald's. He had already premiered on David Bowie's album Let's Dance but his own first album had not come out yet. He was quiet and in between playing one hour sets at the club. Fitzgerald's held about a thousand people it was packed. Saw him again many times, many places. Before he got well known, we were all looking forward to him being a great success and when the record came out it was a great success.

    One of the very best of a small group of blues guitarists who rule the genre. Outstanding voice and a master of his instrument. There were a few others, each with their own style and strengths, but Vaughan had a passion that couldn't be surpassed. Johnny Winter, the Texas Albino, is another one worth a listen, and his brother Edgar, (also an albino,) playing keyboards and sax had a magnificent voice. Rick Derringer, a guitar wizard in his own right often played with both of them. Of course Hendrix when he played straight blues was pretty magical. And if you want to hear someone who's a perfectionist at his craft listen to Eric Johnson. But you picked a great one to start on that journey. Stevie Ray Vaughan was very special.

    Oh wow you already watched it! I enjoyed your reaction! I knew you would be blown away, and you surely were blown away. He is the greatest guitar player ever recorded. I have heard so many from the past but this man stands head and shoulders above the rest. I had the pleasure of seeing him twice live. The first time Jeff Beck who in my opinion is the second greatest guitar player ever recorded, opened the show for Stevie. They played together at the end and it was awesome seeing them together, but Stevie was better. The second time I saw him was a Friday night show at the Kalamazoo county fair the weekend he died. My ears were still ringing Monday morning when I heard on the car radio that he died. I had to pull over and wipe away my tears and recompose myself. Rest in Peace Stevie, I hope to see you in heaven.

    I am so glad you got to see this. The one thing I wasn't expecting from my reaction to your reaction was that I would start laughing so hard I was tearing up. Your reaction to him playing behind his back was priceless, especially when he started singing at the same time. I don't think I was laughing because it was funny, as much as it was a joyful reaction to you seeing something amazing. I think you summed it up best by saying he was a magician.

    SRV is one of the few guitarists that can leave you truly speechless. Gary Moore is another. Watching these two guys has always been

    SRV played right down the road from me often and was my FIRST live show ever. (Age 16, fake ID, Austin, Texas 1980 ish...)
    Me and my buddy stepped out between his set to smoke a doobie and wound up sharing it with Stevie and a band member.
    When he found out I was just 16 he bolted back inside pretty quickly.
    He sent a female companion over after the show to "get a joint" from me and she, in turn gave me a rolled up banner with the bands signatures on it and a "thanks for the J, man" note on it from Stevie, as well.
    I take comfort knowing I witnessed the early days (about 13 times) of the great SRV and will always cherish this one chance meeting to share a moment in time (and a joint) with the greatest Electric Blues guitarist ever.
