I didn’t expect this! I’ve been loving Brett’s book and watching How To Holdsworth, so this is a welcome breath of fresh air after being in the Messiaen reeds for a while haha. I’d love to see more artists covered in a How To fashion.
The reason why finding SRV's tone is a journey is because until the day of his death, SRV was on a tone journey himself. There's not one SRV tone, there are dozens if not hundreds of them. But to get the generic, "ballpark" SRV tone, is pretty straightforward. And regarding his string gauge, the "13s" is a myth. His set was extremely close to what we call balanced 11's today, with custom gauge E strings, high being .13 and a low 0.58. Down tuned to E flat, the overall tension was probably close to a regular 11 set.
Your idea of good tone will change if you spend years standing in front of very loud amps that slowly degrade your ability to hear certain frequency's.
@@srvcoldshot This is not enough. Stevie touched the strings in a special way. I found out that he touched his index finger nail at the same time as the pick. this gives a slightly clicking sound. but even that is not enough. It's very hard to see exactly how Stevie does it, which muscles he uses. I've been studying his right hand for over 3 years now, and I've learned a lot of things, but it's still not the same.
@@srvcoldshot moreover, he does not have a single technique for all cases. there are certain movements for certain sounds. let's say what he does in tin pan alley is not at all the same as what he does in life without you
@@zampano6883 yes that’s true. May Tommy can demonstrate. Or you can just try for yourself. VvIf you’ve played for any length of time it should be fairly easy to do

He’s got SRVs best trait…Humility
Finally getting scuttle buttin lick down, largely because of the picking pattern learned from this guy . Also did it about 10 thousand times lol

You’re amazing Tommy Katona son of Stevie Ray Von
Tommy for President ✌️
I wish the audio was better because we could’ve learned a lot from this video 🤙🎸
Damn, this kid is good!
please ask Tommy next time exactly how Stevie held the pick, at what angle, and exactly how he struck the string. It's not covered anywhere
Stevie didn’t pick with the pointy end that everybody uses. He used the big round side. So does Tommy 🎸

@@zampano6883 if you e studied for 3 years and haven’t gotten it you’re not going to get it. That’s what made Stevie, Stevie. Doing special things
I can hear a chorus on Tommy side
Stevie believes in Jesus Christ our Lord and that is why he got a gift and with hard work and faith he tried to get clean
