Stevie Ray vaughan better than Hendrix?

uhh, no

It's hard not to inject the man that shaped the 80's into this conversation. But, even Eddie gave credit to Hendrix. You might even make a case for Randy Rhodes in this conversation, but he was taken too soon to know the full impact.

I feel like SRV had more of a cult following back when he was alive, as the record industry had moved on from the time of the blues he was doing. Eric Clapton was considered to be the blues master at the time, and Stevie struggled with getting traction. This was a battle that stevie and his brother Jimmy fought over.

I loved listening to SRV, and almost went to see him at his last concert... wish I would have.

But, Hendrix was a master innovator who's time was cut too short.

i dont know who is better, buy i know the best bluzman and quitarist ever
