Maybe if SRV played something like this, he might have been more interesting?
Needs a keytar with a vocoder.

I apologize if I've offended anyone's musical sensibilities by saying I find SRV to be kinda boring. I guess I just feel like with pretty much every solo of his I know exactly how he's gonna play it, anticipating where he's gonna go. Also, just like with Jazz improvisation there is something to be said for the notes a musician DOESN'T play. I feel that SRV kinda just shreds through his progressions and doesn't follow that line of thought. When you hear him dual with more thoughtful guitarists you might understand where I'm coming from. :shrug: He was a great guitarist but I didn't really view him as much of an artist, where he'd try to challenge himself and his listeners. THat's fine, but it's kinda boring to me.

If the tempo of his songs were all the same, you could mix up the solos, and never know it
oh boy..I really dont have one absolute favorite..I like many for different reasons
Django Reinhart
George Barnes for my favorite solo of all time.."Lipstick On Your Collar" A simple song by Connie Francis with a killer solo and intro

James Burton
Scotty Moore
Mark Knopfler
Joe Bonnamassa
I even like some Clapton
Hendrix
Vai
Page
I cant pick one though
Good list. It's incomplete but a nice start. What do you think of whoever that guy is from ZZ Top? I love how he grooves.
I like SRV, living life by the drop is my shiznit. But I don't know shit about music and people call me lima bean so wtf do I know :dunno:
I think SRV is pretty fucking awesome.
Yeah..I forgot him ( Billy Gibbons)..In fact, Im going to see ZZ top and the following night Steely Dan at the Biltmore estate
Dont get me wrong guys..He is a great guitarist..Its just that after 3 songs you say.."OK, what else can ya do"? Like a 1 trick pony. There is no variation in his playing..Its 100 mph constantly
Isnt that in ashville?
