He really was a remarkable talent.
In the sea of Strat toting, string raking pretenders that came in his wake (I'll hold my hand up to that..) you forget what an amazing,raw talent he was.
I'm off to dig out my live at El Mocambo VHS
Funny listening to the real thing in raw form, after 20 years of less talented clones have kinda sickened me of that style.
He really was an absolute legend.
The icing on the cake is the comedy expressions he pulls whilst playing, lol.
SRV - RIP - one of the great texas blues players & one of my all time favourite guitarists. Yet he was often self-critical, always aspiring to play and sound like Hendrix who was a massive influence on him. But SRV had the most amazing talent, tone and feel of his own - & not just with blues - the tune he wrote for his wife, 'Lenny' (influenced by Hendrix' intro to Little Wing), is just wonderful in its construction, tone & playing. He's sadly missed - such a shame for us to lose such a talent so prematurely.
From the same gig, Love Struck Baby:
There is some great early SRV stuff available - there's a CD called "In The Beginning" and a fantastic bootleg "Force of Nature".
The man was a marvel, left a hyge gap.
