Yep he played with very heavy gauge strings from as light as 12's to as heavy as 17's. His main strings were 13's. He could bend any of those like mad!
Anyone that has ever popped a guitar string knows what it does to the sound of your guitar. The fact that Stevie was able to keep playing as if nothing had happened, with no noticeable change in tone - I mean...I don't even know what to say. We should all be so lucky to be as passionate about anything as Stevie was for the blues. Also, Rene Martinez is a fucking badass
I believe reason why the guitar didn’t go out of tune when the string broke was because his trem was backed up against the body instead of floating. From what I’ve read the number one and Lenny have their terms back again the body while the other strats were floating but correct me if I’m wrong.
Well, it was noticable if you're paying attention, losing one sting messes up the tension and therefore tuning of the whole guitar, but he did some creative bends and tricks and pulled it off pretty damn well. Most other musicians couldn't do what he did
+Krizzly listened to this 20 times before i noticed the string XD Thought he did it for show :P. The switch is not that hard actually. Continuing with only 5 strings however and still sound bad ass.. That's seriously impressive.
+Odd Eleven Agreed, a tremolo bridge by its nature throws whatever 5 strings remain way the hell out of tune when one breaks, and until the switch is at hand he is wringing out an acceptable pitch somehow.....
Swamp T. I'm not that experienced of an guitar player. I mostly just strum rhythm and do something that barely pass a singing to myself XD But does it change that much just from one string breaking? From what i have experienced just pushing the strings harder/softer is enough to correct whenever they are in tune but not really 100%. I usually just stop tho and tune my guitar XD I'm not SRV and my finger are not magical :P hehe.
+Odd Eleven actually yeah... you notice he had to change everything he was doing to work around not having that one string. so really for him not having that one string isn't that big of deal but for the average Joe. without that one string we're pretty much out of commission.
I'm a 63 year young white woman from Detroit 😎 & I love that you GET his music. I LOVE this man's talent...WEPT the day his plane went down. What a loss. Keep enjoying the beauty he left behind. He was the ultimate bada$$ guitarist 🎸💪🖤 ❗
Reese Wynans is a killer keyboardist! Stevie Ray said that after Reese joined the band, they went from Double Trouble to a Triple Threat. The whole group was tight.
Sure was. That was back when they had Lou Ann Barton as the singer for the group. But he also said that about Double Trouble after Reese Wynans joined the band.
Everyone is rightfully pointing out SRV not missing a beat, the keyboardist who made a deal with the devil, but can we get an Amen for the guitar tech that hot swapped everything including the strap like a friggin champ? That guy is like Tiger Woods caddy, man.
I was going to say that I was PISSED when Stevie passed but this song, the lyrics, the playing and how Stevie's crew member switched that guitar out without any of them missing a beat was pure showmanship! Wow...wish Stevie was still lightening it up today! RIP brother!
I was 16 going on 17 when he passed. I now live about 20 minutes from Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy. Watching him play, one would think his guitar was an appendage he was born with.
Where do you start?....all I can say is Fuckin WOW, the heaviest , thickest, most viscous blues on the planet. I love how everything is forefront. Monstrous bass foundations, sexy ass drums, and SRV, THE man himself, in my ameture opinion, the best blues guitarist to walk the Earth.
My Dad past away in 2014, I remembered asking my dad as a teenager “ Dad, who’s your favourite band or singer?” He said without even thinking about it, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Of course I never heard of him and 50 cent just came out and I didn’t care at 15. Unfortunately I never got to share the love for SRV that I now have, but it’s all because of him why I even looked up who this Stevie guy was. Nobody was cooler looking then this guy! The boots and the hat are hitters! Unmatched on the guitar, I’m sorry folks, I know it’s a controversial topic but I’m here to say it anyway. He had the voice, he had the guitar and he had the tunes, like a Ray Charles level of hero.
@@yaboi-km2qn ik I’ve seen it about 10 times so that only means like if 500,000 watch it 10 times that means 500,000 into 7,000,000,000 that’s not alpt
@@mothy90 what I meant is that there aren’t really any songs built off guitar and with solos and just good ole blues and rock songs at the top of the music charts nowadays… this type of music isn’t mainstream like it used to be. Obviously I didn’t say all that so I understand why nobody understood what I meant.
My favourite part in the solo is actually the part AFTER he breaks the string. First time i watched this i wasn't watching the video and i liked what i heard so i came back to it and i was really surprised that a string breaks , the guy keeps his cool , the bassist looks at the guitar nervously , he still keeps his cool , plays and finishes the solo just how it needs to be done ; and to top it all off he switches guitars without skipping a single beat. I wish he was still alive so we could be going to his shows to see more of this badassery.
that was pretty damn amazing, he never skipped a beat, lost his composure, or diminished the song in the slightest, also kudos the stage hand for doing his part to get the new guitar out to him fast so he could keep moving through.
That shit was absolutely amazing, the guitar change was so smooth, right at the break, so if you listened to just the audio you would have absolutely no clue! And, the stage hand looked like Ron Jeremy.. lmfao!
As much as I love that super smooth swap out to a new guitar, I think my favourite part of this performance is 2:08. He absolutely charges that stage to deliver one of if not my favourite live solo's ever. Up there with the best to ever do it. RIP Sir.
this is why stevie’s my favorite guitarist, how he swaps guitars and gets right back into the grove like it’s nothing is INSANE!!! left this world too early
Idk.. I love SRV and I know he plays live. But this one is iffy.. When he strums initially, it's slightly late.. And the sound is clearly coming from the lower strings such as E or A.. But he definitely only strums the high strings such as B or E..and on top of that his left hand wasn't even in position yet to play those notes
@@GageDrums I thought the same thing, so I watched it over and over in slow motion. If you slow the speed down to 0.50 you will notice at 3:03 (go to about 3:01 to start it) right after he plugs the amp chord in he quickly hits the D and G strings with a down stroke pauses for a beat then hits the B and E strings, realizes he doesn't have a good handle on the pick, changes his grip on the pick and then goes back up the neck to start strumming again. He knew exact where he was supposed to come in and did it so subtly that it looks like it never happened. I happens so quickly you have to really watch it a few times. The ringing of the strings until he hits the next note at 3:04 is in perfect sync too. At least I think that is the answer.
I like the way he checks that all his controls on his guitar are in the right position at 1:00, after these big strokes even not looking at it! And all of it while singing! Just insane guy!
@@ohno5212 doubt it was an accident, he was constantly changing his pickups mid-solo.. when you watch for it its nuts, he changes his pickup selector all the time throughout the song
It's always dialng them max. I know myself I rarely have anything other than max on any guitar .. I hear the theory the pots should just be removed, maybe that's true? I do use the volumes but tone ... not really.
@@FallNorth Yeah, I use the tone knob just when I try to mimic for example B. B. King's tone which I don't do it that often, so it is same for me. The volume pot has much more value for me 'cause I play rhythm with it dialed back quite a bit and I can boost myself both volumewise and tonewise for solo.
We will never recover from the loss of Stevie Ray Vaughn. Ever. All we have are memories and these videos. I'll take them. He never realized that he was the best ax man to ever lift and play a Fender Stratocaster. All the rest of us live in his shadow. SRV was a miracle.
+tom wray You got that right Tom. I listen to Stevie Ray every day, and I miss him more as time passes away. You know what it means to lose something as great as him. But we can clutch these moments that he poured out his heart and soul to us, and remember him as the greatest guitarist and blues musician that ever lived.
+tom wray It's like that too, I cant go long without some exposure and it hurts but helps too...and you nailed it, he was so humble, the personality he expressed while playing and in the way he talked between songs and when interviewed was like a friend or the kid next door (IMHO) and we didn't realize he was a real live wizard and truly a master of the instrument as well as the Stratocaster...Check out the MTV Unplugged Video and see a Guild acoustic 12 string guitar played like nobody ever has or ever will again.....
Mark and Tom, don't be so down. SRV will always live because young people like me [1993 generation] will keep his spirit alive! He was the greatest blues musician that the world has ever seen. America and Texas should be proud of him. He was a great man, and one of the best guitarists out there. Greetings from Serbia!
The single greatest piece to improvise Rock piano to. The snappy rhythm is glorious! Rhythm? I don't know all this music terminology, just cool to smash keys with!
I will forever be astonished by that swift guitar change with absolutely brilliant teamwork and precision with his tech. Another legend gone far too soon!
Stevie's control of everything is amazing. Just a glance at the tech and made a change Nascar pit crews would dream of. Dude was such a savage. RIP the 🐐
remember that hat axl had the right to be asshole to his friends, because they where in drugs and drunk all the time.... axl was the most sober one of them
As someone that works as FOH Guy an Stage Tech at a local independent music venue that holds a capacity 400, I have met seen an worked with some wonderful people bands wise but never in my life have I ever seen guitar tech do change as swiftly as Mr Martinez in this clip my god how smooth he is. This is a clip that every Guitar Tech on road round world for year's will come back to reminisces of what this man did at Austin City Limits looks like cracking gig 👌
correction you know you're bad ass when you break the bottom string mid lead solo and make it sound even better with only 5 strings I think stevie just earned another name sake with that performance alone
Ledgendary thats why.i couldnt go see him wen he played auckland nz in 90?so imagine raging at the Hells Angels niteclub and who cruises out to freak out the wasters??yep thats right.srv himself.left me wondering if i was witnessing reality,i was.so didnt bum at missing concert.lucky i was upstairs lost in the head.i cn just imagine what i may have done lol.memories are forever.xxx
Be thankful folks, for not only we had the opportunity to watch this brilliant performance by one of the greatest guitar player of all time, but we also witnessed one of the finest performances by a roadie ever caught on tape.

Stevie was just a genius guitar player. I love the part right after the keyboard player's section when Stevie takes over at 2:08 and just goes off on a magnificent riff to continue the song. Just awesome !!!
LOL and our Fucktard Presdent Reagan approved the sale of Chemical weapons to Iraq which was used on woman,children and later our own sons and daughters serving our country. This veteran hopes Mr Reagan is burning in hell along with Kissinger for fucking veterans..
I was blessed enough to see him live right before his popularity blew up. To this day it's still the best performance I've ever seen. He played behind his head, behind his back. He switched from an acoustic to an electric guitar mid song without missing a beat. For me he is just the GOAT.
Did you see it at this concert? , I envy you man (healthily) I didn't even have the opportunity to see any of my favorite artists all or almost all are already dead
SRV has taught us so much about what guitar can be or mean to someone. I know for sure he is the best blues guitarist (and best ever in my book) and that he deserves so much more respect and credit. I may be 13, and only started playing guitar 2/3 months ago, but I am on a mission to help rediscover the way SRV influenced people of the last generation and my generation. I plan to make blues a dominant genre again.
I've been playing guitar 19 years. Just now am I understanding the power that Stevie Ray Vaughan has had on my guitar playing. It's truly a beautiful thing. So sad that he's gone but he left plenty of material to practice. RIP STEVIE
Hey man I started at the same age and have been playing as long as you have and I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels like you do glad I could share something like that with someone else
Guitar tech level 10, 1 nod from SRV was the equivalent of Dan Marino calling the fake spike to his WR with a single nod. A true master of his craft. Thank you SRV and Double Trouble
SRV is a musical DR. He sure patched up the solo nicely and even got the crowd to clap cause the transition was smoother than the butter you spread on your toast.
Stevie knew how to pick a guitar tech! My brother played guitar after he shaved off half of his thumb at a sandwich shop! Not taken away from Stevie because he was my hero!!!!
That keyboardist is awesome
Reese Wynans, he was in The Allman Brothers Band before Gregg was.
You know he was SRVs music teacher.
Reese Wynans is insane man
Fast hands, wow is all I can say

He just covered the detune with lots of bends
Wasn't this like a floating bridge. Cause I heard it happens in guitars with locking systems.

The single greatest piece to improvise Rock piano to. The snappy rhythm is glorious! Rhythm? I don't know all this music terminology, just cool to smash keys with!
Terminology works to Tag things. But the feelling is what truly matters
hi hoovy tube gaming!
Reese was kicked out of future Allman Bro band to make room for Gregg !!!
Don't bash your piano tho
.l
I will forever be astonished by that swift guitar change with absolutely brilliant teamwork and precision with his tech. Another legend gone far too soon!
AMEN! SRV and Rene were a wonderful team. Rene was SRV’s guitar tech.
Yes so true. Very grateful for the time he had and what he left us.💯%📀 THANKS SRV👼 you are missed! 👼
I guess Rene got lot of practise during the years he was Stevie's guitar tech😁
Yes...too soon.
Ok I can hear why everyone is nuts about SRV omg he is phenomenal
If you close your eyes you wouldn’t even realize there’s a broken string
Definitely best Guitar player ever lived on planet earth. NO DISCUSSION
AHHHHH Who Needs 6 Strings..... No Problem! Man's smooth as silk..
Stevie's control of everything is amazing. Just a glance at the tech and made a change Nascar pit crews would dream of. Dude was such a savage. RIP the 🐐
Sobriety was what SRV needed! Miss you, much!!
I cant stop watching this. This is art.
If this were Guns 'n Roses Axl Rose would have cancelled the show immediately XD
...and the tour
Brian ...and the next album
TRUE
Why even compare that freak to this man. Axl couldn't play guitar.
remember that hat axl had the right to be asshole to his friends, because they where in drugs and drunk all the time.... axl was the most sober one of them
Outstanding Guitar Tec, what a Boss ...not a beat missed, not a single fuck given... Miss you Stevie Ray!
Love the way he plays that trill and picks that open E string so effortlessly
1:33-1:36
smoother than the smooth criminal
I love how he rips out the jack perfectly to the music. The cheer from the audience always gives me chills down my spine
As someone that works as FOH Guy an Stage Tech at a local independent music venue that holds a capacity 400, I have met seen an worked with some wonderful people bands wise but never in my life have I ever seen guitar tech do change as swiftly as Mr Martinez in this clip my god how smooth he is.
This is a clip that every Guitar Tech on road round world for year's will come back to reminisces of what this man did at Austin City Limits looks like cracking gig 👌
😎 Rivals all NASCAR pit crews ❗😎
All the dislike are from fandom of Kpop.
Piano man killed it
That guy moonlights with a NASCAR pit crew.
2:55 Has to be the smoothest guitar switches ever done mid song, live on stage in the history of jamming.
Never missed a beat! ❤
God took you SRV because he loves your guitar playing
correction
you know you're bad ass when you break the bottom string mid lead solo and make it sound even better with only 5 strings
I think stevie just earned another name sake with that performance alone
5 String Slinger?
Ledgendary thats why.i couldnt go see him wen he played auckland nz in 90?so imagine raging at the Hells Angels niteclub and who cruises out to freak out the wasters??yep thats right.srv himself.left me wondering if i was witnessing reality,i was.so didnt bum at missing concert.lucky i was upstairs lost in the head.i cn just imagine what i may have done lol.memories are forever.xxx
Be thankful folks, for not only we had the opportunity to watch this brilliant performance by one of the greatest guitar player of all time, but we also witnessed one of the finest performances by a roadie ever caught on tape.
Hell yeah
Dude earned his pay that night. Lolz
Between this and the switch during Life Without You at Passaic, SRV has confirmed himself as the king of the quick switch.
Everything about Stevie screams MASTERY!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey mama look at little sis

@@fatherofallgodjadar8213 lol
that guitar change was sick! seamless....broken string and just kept on jamming. He was one of the best
Legend, doesn't skip a beat and plugged in just on time. God I miss this man
Most flawless guitar change in history ❤
Stevie was just a genius guitar player. I love the part right after the keyboard player's section when Stevie takes over at 2:08 and just goes off on a magnificent riff to continue the song. Just awesome !!!
That guitar swap was perfect.
Everyone talks about the string breaking but the solo he did before is fucking amazing
My dad's friends made me study this dvd as a kid. I don't think there's any other live gig that brings me back like this one. SRV's sound is epic
Simply the best with fender stratocaster guitar
la strato de SRv...la strato es la mejor guitarra del mundo ( Fender)
Or the best with any guitar
@@riderk7007 nah man, there's always something magical about stratocaster
Do you from Gambia?
He was the very best.blues player of all time
can’t stop watching this lol... i watch this atleast 10 times a day
rest in piece my friend !!!! 25 years ago.....the world lost the one of greatest guitar player of all time. PERIOD !!
I beleive in Jesus, Ronald Reagan and Stevie Ray Vaughan
bob beckey what about Hendrix?
Yes, I too believe that Ronald Reagan and Stevie Ray Vaughan were real people.
Jesus lived before both of them.
Krizzly you poor fool, The Jews documented Him, The Greeks documented Him, The Romans documented Him. If He was real or not isn't even a question.
LOL and our Fucktard Presdent Reagan approved the sale of Chemical weapons to Iraq which was used on woman,children and later our own sons and daughters serving our country. This veteran hopes Mr Reagan is burning in hell along with Kissinger for fucking veterans..
The smoothest guitar change period
I was blessed enough to see him live right before his popularity blew up. To this day it's still the best performance I've ever seen. He played behind his head, behind his back. He switched from an acoustic to an electric guitar mid song without missing a beat. For me he is just the GOAT.
Look My comment please
Did you see it at this concert? , I envy you man (healthily) I didn't even have the opportunity to see any of my favorite artists all or almost all are already dead
I’m glad this popped up on my feed. Life has changed.
SRV has taught us so much about what guitar can be or mean to someone. I know for sure he is the best blues guitarist (and best ever in my book) and that he deserves so much more respect and credit. I may be 13, and only started playing guitar 2/3 months ago, but I am on a mission to help rediscover the way SRV influenced people of the last generation and my generation. I plan to make blues a dominant genre again.
Good luck. You have our support.
I've been playing guitar 19 years. Just now am I understanding the power that Stevie Ray Vaughan has had on my guitar playing. It's truly a beautiful thing. So sad that he's gone but he left plenty of material to practice. RIP STEVIE
Hey man I started at the same age and have been playing as long as you have and I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels like you do glad I could share something like that with someone else
I replied to a comment of yours a few minutes ago, not knowing you're probably 14 now. I love that music is in your soul young man. Keep it close!
Gary moore was always the best blues guitarists in my opinion
But srv is amazing too ❤
I really hope there's a rock renaissance in my time 🤘
There is seriously nothing like watching SRV run down the blues!
Look My comment please
The Tone,the Attitude,the artist,the singer,the guitarplayer,the main Man Mr Stevie Ray Vaughan!!!
America
One time on stage I broke a string. I turned around to grab my back up, knocked over the mic stand and my guitar rack... this man is smooth
that man was born to play guitar!
We gotta give mad props to Mr Reese and Double Trouble. Damn they were tight!
Every time I see that exchange I get chills every single time!!
That guitar switch just doesn’t get old, even after watching it for over 10 years, RIP Stevie
THIS IS THE STEVE RAY VAUGHAN I KNOW AND LOVE .
This man was something special. I don't like all his stuff but this is my favourite. What a waste of a legend
Look My comment please
No one plays guitar like him
Guitar tech level 10, 1 nod from SRV was the equivalent of Dan Marino calling the fake spike to his WR with a single nod. A true master of his craft.
Thank you SRV and Double Trouble
SRV is a musical DR.
He sure patched up the solo nicely and even got the crowd to clap cause the transition was smoother than the butter you spread on your toast.
Stevie knew how to pick a guitar tech! My brother played guitar after he shaved off half of his thumb at a sandwich shop! Not taken away from Stevie because he was my hero!!!!
two Words .... Hell yes
