Touche ...well that makes sense..the SRV comment doesnt in all fairness. So your saying who needs SRV when you have Hendrix? Im a Hendrix fanatic but by the same token am also a fan of SRV. I recognize when someone has a talent for playing the guitar. Being as big of fan as I am of Hendrix I think you would have to agree from just the playing aspect. SRV's ability to manipulate the guitar fretboard was unparalleled.

SRV is good but Jimi is awesome, if you want my take.

I don't care if he could juggle chainsaws while playing Electric Lady Land backwards with his toes. There ain't no soul in it.

No soul??? Are you being serious or just obnoxious?? Im laughing now cause I think your just saying that for the sake of arguing. I cant entertain this debate any longer...lol

Even though I think he is way overated and never really got into his music all that much. I did always like the song Layla by Clapton and especially the acoustic version. Not all that hard a piece of music to learn either. Of course its Clapton so how complex could it be right? Anyway it was a fun learn, and not to mention its usually a crowd pleaser cause most people recognize the Layla intro immediatley. Id recommend learning it just for that reason if nothing else.

Hendrix team. Never been huge on Clapton, think the guy is overrated.

But Hendrix is the best of all these. Vaughan, meh... good guitarist, but nothing more to me. Watching him is sometimes embarassing... He embodies to me the flat and boring white mans blues... I do not think he is awful by any means, but I think he gets too much attention as well.

Are you really suggesting that Vaughn's singles Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, or Riviera Paradise as being/sounding flat and boring white mans blues? Ive never really ever heard it described in that particular way. I guess you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how off base it may be. And I don't really see any reason you should feel embarrassed.

way to pick 2 hendrix covers to sum of SRV, haha. His versions are all inferior to the originals, "Little Wing" is good though.

SRV is a fantastic guitar player, but his vocals leave little to be desired to me. His voice is very plain and blan. Which is why I love "Little Wing" it shows his guitar talent without the boring vocals..
