It's still possible to learn a lot about attitude and style from him though.
I have a few fave tracks: Love Struck Baby, Gimme Back My Wig, Tin Pan Alley and Pride & Joy, but that's about it.

I've never heard the G3 jams, not sure what they are to be honest.

I just cringe when I hear him now and cringe even worse whenever I hear the 'hot new guitar player' of the day and he's got that tone and those licks.

Blues - or blues-rock, or "the only type of player they ever interview in Guitarist" - was never my favourite style of music but I used to buy and listen to a fair amount of it. But in recent years I can't stand it. It's not the playing so much as the songs, they're all so hackneyed and I can't bear those YouTube clips where five or six saggy 50-somethings take it in turns to solo on "Going Down".
I think I still like SRV, though. He had something special about him. I haven't listened to his albums for years though, perhaps I'm a little bit afraid I might not like them any more.
With shred, I've kind of gone the other way - I used to listen to some of those guys like Vinnie Moore, Greg Howe, Tony MacAlpine, Richie Kotzen but then I ignored it for 30 years. I quite like it again now, but only on YouTube - I couldn't listen to shred records but it's interesting to watch people play, they're amazing.
Looking through my earlier Spotify library there's also a great deal of pop punk I can't believe I once listened to.
