Nowadays radio mainly thrives on pop songs and/or what's the "new thing", ya see!!!

I'd recommend you to call your house a "radio" for a day and invite some friends over...play whatever bands inspire you, maybe even try "shuffle" if you choose!!!I guarantee you you'll have much more fun than waiting for 1 or 2 good songs to come out of an hours worth of pop/hits on the radio!!!

Yeah, I agree that technically SRV is as good as, perhaps better than, Jimi Hendrix, but technical doesn't mean much unless you go somewhere with it. Being in many top 10 guitarists ever lists doesn't strike me as underrated, but whatever. If you ask me, SRV gets exactly what he deservese. He was a technically great guitarist, but his style is boring, and his song writing (in my opinion) sucks, just dull, long-overused blues patterns, and there's no feeling to any of it. Example: SRV could probably play anything David Gilmour ever played about three times as fast. However, Dave's solos have tons of emotion and mood in them, both of which SRV lacks. Therefore, in my opinion, David Gilmour is the better guitarist.

Honestly, I was trying not to blatantly say how much Hendrix was overrated compared to Vaughan, so, therefore I said that Vaughan was underrated compared to Hendrix, ya see?

And on your final statement-That doesn't prove to the world that he's (dave) the better guitarist because you think he shows more "emotion"!!!That's only shows that you think he's better, therefore showing your opinion only, got it?Nice talkin though, cheers!!!

Yes, I suggest you take another look at my post. I agree with you that I think he's better, which is why I wrote in my opinion before writing it.

Wild7Dustr

Yes, I know you said something along the lines of "In Your Opinion!!!"As much as you like Dave though, still doesn't prove to the whole world that he's better, understand now?

Your opinion is yours and my opinion is mine, End Of Discussion!!!

jazzfromhell

I never said I was proving to the whole world that David Gilmour was a better guitarist. I'm not sure how you got that impression...but whatever you say, boyo, end of discussion.

Actually SRV is one of the slower guitar masters. None of his solos are that fast, mostly because blues rock isn't fast obviously. I think SRV's cover of voodoo child is much better than hendrix's original. If you've ever seen SRV live/dvd you'd know he puts every once of himself in the song.

That is quite possibly the most preposterous thing I've read on this forum yet.

SRV's playing was absolutely saturated with emotion. David Gilmour's style is much different; much slower. Slower lead guitar playing is consistently appraised as being 'emotional', while the faster guitar players are regarded as 'colourless' and 'dull'. Stevie's guitar playing is just as emotional as Mr. Gilmour's, it's just a vastly divergent style.
