jimi hendrix or stevie ray vaughan

[poltergeist]

i was having this argument with someone at work but im curious

who do yall think is better stevie ray vaughan or jimi hendrix?
i say stevie ray vaughan

 

[Arch]

Hendrix.

 

[Varulv]

Stevie Ray Vaughan. He's a way better guitarist and he made better music.

 

[metu]

I think that SRV is better at the Texan blues, while Jimi is better at the Martian blues.

 

[theashis]

tom morello

 

[Tom75]

They were both great guitarists. Its just a matter of taste.
I like em both.

 

[Kinkabell]

tough call but Stevie Ray just takes it for me
some of the stuff he did with his bro Jimmy was cool too

thats not to say Jimi Hendrix isn't absolutely great, but i can listen to SRV all day - i was brought up on it and only heard Jimi occasionally: might b a reason for my preference...

jimi is the most influential guitarist of the 20th century..he is the best

 

[NGC 3370]

Dont like either but would go for Hendrix for sure.

 

[Kinkabell]

jimi led the crowd, stevie stood out from it
both fabulous in their own right, i'm just more used to stevie - can listen to him no matter what's happenin

The most influential, like which is a greater loss, is a whole different question, eh?

 

[neoclassical]

Andres Segovia. Hands down.
