    If someone can legitimately feel it they can play it, and noone has since him, but i hope somebody will, to play like Stevie you have to put 110% of yourself into it, not just a little you have to put everything into it and not hold back.

    I think Jimi's Watchtower should have been 1 , but i don't know about the rest , Comfortably Numb deserves a close to top spot too and they got one, and from what i remember, Eruption got second and Freebird got third, as much as i like Skynyrd ...(more)

    Clapton's blues playing is not anything at all special, he just unsoulfully runs the blues scale and does the same boring licks and he just is not very good, his blues is very mediocre, any beginner can easily play it, but SRV , Hendrix , Johhn...(more)

    I disagree there, if that is true we all might as well put our guitars down and go be plumbers (no ofrfence to plumbers), i think that there is no reason that anybody can't play as good as Stevie Ray, he just played like himself and with practic...(more)

    I just think that from seeing him play he plays with alot of passion, maybe not RV passion but alot of passion, the only thing different is that he doesn't always show the body language because he plays alot of technically more challenging songs...(more)

    I think that back then the standard of playing and good playing was very low, i mean clapton lets face it his chops are non existant beyond some copped blues licks and chops aren't everything and his playing isn't anything very passionate as muc...(more)

    I agree that in Blues no one had it all wrapped up in the passion he had, there are some other greats and some other players who could be said to have it all like ROBBEN FORD OR SCOTT HENDERSON IN A BLUES CONTEXT, BUT Noone had his passion he wa...(more)

    I don't care for Clapton's slide playing, and i think he is very overrated, but he might fit in with Crow with his mediocre playing, it won't be hard because no matter what he plays people will always think he is a legend. Warrenn Haynes and the...(more)
