Taken from us way to soon. One of, if not the best, guitarist to every play. Often emulated but will never be duplicated. For those who like his style, listen to a group called Texas Flood. Tommy Karina is eerily similar.

I assume, by the name, they're a tribute band?

I love the part at the end of this video, where Stevie's brother Jimmy joins him on the double neck.

Imo he isn't better than Hendrix or even Chuck Berry, who had more iconic 1950's riffs. I know fans here love the guy, but for me creating original music is harder too do. Just look at whar Beethoven did after Mozart.

You don't think SRV had original music? I respect the Hell out of Chuck Berry and Jimi, but I'd rather listen to Stevie.

In terms of the blues stuff I have heard, not more original. I myself listen to music from 1920's-2000's (when rock pretty much died). Not saying others here don't, but that's me for about the last 40 years. And yes, I have followed some classical. Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, etc.

Thought he started late 70s. Ok thanxs for that.
Technically, he started in the 70's, but his first album was Texas Flood, in '83. I saw him in '82, when his brother's band opened for Eric Clapton. Jimmy said, "I wanna introduce you to my little brother, Stevie.". Unfortunately, I was so wasted I don't remember it. :(

Awesome guitarist. Great live act. Much better musician after he sobered up. Left us way too soon.
