No. Hendrix had the "It" factor, 100% in the zone, and could take you to outer space with ease and grace. Stevie Ray was extremely technically proficient but didn't get the same results. Two different categories entirely. No contest.

They are both masters and both have a unique style. I am a Vaughan addict, but still I would not claim either is better they are both masters and unique.

Technically SRV has no peers for electric blues guitar, Hendrix was one of a kind...and some of SRV's most memorable work is playing Jimi's music.

Ohhh thats not an easy one. Depends on what one is sipping or puffing, and how far gone you are when it starts to play.

While both are excellent...imo, neither reached their full potential really. That being said, I'll have to go with Vaughan on this because he was able to morph himself with unlimited gener and style, whilst Hendrix just did Hendrix.

Technically, sure, but Jimi had lots more range and variety in his playing.

SRV played the same songs all of his career...even 10 years before we'd heard them.

Too bad both never really had the chance to mature further musically.

Since Hendrix was first and more innovative Id give him credit. SRV got to listen to Hendrix and learn. SRV was the best of his day. Hes no Buckethead though, neither of them were.

No.

Hendrix was a better performer, singer, composer, lyricist, and guitar player.

It's not even close.

The thing overlooked in this decades long debate is, Jimi Hendrix was a great songwriter, in addition to his abilities as a guitarist.

I always thought SRV and BB King were bombastic, mechanical, and fucking annoying, with terrible voices.

I never liked the sound.

But Hendrix was magic.

There’s a reason why Eric Clapton had SRV “helichoppered” at Alpine Valley all those years ago.

Re: Stevie Ray vaughan better than Hendrix?
Stevie had a massive drinking problem for decades. He must have been totally drunk on stage. But I never heard him strumming a wrong note. Did he have the discipline to lay off it during his gigs? How can you play perfect totally drunk? It's only the last 5 years of his life that he was clean

Not like SRV played it. No one could play like him. He was absolutely ridiculous.

I'd say he was the greatest guitarist ever in terms of going the farthest within his particular style

He didn't really go outside of that style, so he can be knocked for that. But he took his style to places that no other guitarist could take their style.

Easy...

Hendrix was a innovator, and Stevie was an imitator.

While I love SRV, and thought he was brilliant on the guitar, he didn't realign the industry like Hendrix.

Lisyen to all of the greats, they'll tell you that Hexdrix changed it all... just like EVH.

Apples and oranges.

SRV was excellent at what he did.
One of the great blues lead guitarists.

Hendrix was a tremendous innovator and influenced endless guitarists. Changed the game.
