I'm a huge SRV fan and was devastated when he was killed in the air crash.
He seemed to be able to play any style of guitar. Although he specialized in Blues and R&B, he was great at everything. My question is where are the young SRV's? It been nearly 20 years since his death and I can't think of any young guys who can string his guitar. All the great players seem to be over 60 (Clapton, Beck, Gilmore, Knopfler, and many others). Why so few young great guitarists?

One of the reasons is that back when studio time was at a premium, and studio gimmicks were not nearly what they are now, it took high-quality musicians.
Now it doesn’t take nearly as much talent, as the studio and computers can cover up everything.

I know BB King called SRV one of the greatest to ever live if not THE greatest.
