Stevie Ray was self taught! He also used 14-17 gauge strings! They might as well been CABLES! The strength he had in his fingers to bend those strings. OMG! I was blessed to have see him live before his tragic death in 1990. He is missed by millions, but his music lives on. I loved your reaction to all of his videos. RIP Stevie Ray Vaughn. ❤❤❤
Great reaction! Love all Stevie Ray Vaughans music! He is the BEST! Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland is a great one and so is In Session with Albert King, and so many more! Life without You at The Capital is another great!
Okay, I added two for YOU…Look at SRV at Montreaux 1985 performing *’Tin Pan Alley’ w/guest Johnny Copeland*it’s *The Blues* and I guarantee you that *you won’t regret it* (Little Wing is a beautiful Hendix song without lyrics, btw). God, I love Rude Mood Montreux 1982 and Riviera Paradise at Austin City Limits too. (I added two very different great performances since you asked for three.)

Love my hero Stevie Ray!! I tried when younger to attempt playing his fabulous works of art. Naturally I gave that up very quickly! He played so beautifully, and I wanted to as well. Now I play simple tunes, that I enjoy and realize few are a gift from God as was Stevie Ray. I'll love his music as the best ever I've heard, while having fun plucking off on my Strat and Esquire. God Bless Stevie, I miss him.
🙌👏✌️💯love, love, love your reaction and you really get him even if only after 3 times watching. We are all still amazed and astonished at his gift of total immersion in the musical river he steps and receives in the moment. No two performances of the same song resembles another. You correctly deduced he is in the moment and lets it go where it wants to take him. Fortunately for us he takes us with him. His music is timeless and fresh each time. I can't imagine it ever getting old and stale as it is simply so many levels above anyone else. A philosopher once said Talent hits the target no one else can hit. Genius hits the target no one else can see. Sums up this man perfectly🎸🎶💙 It is hard for me to even choose a top ten favorite list but let me suggest some to give you a wider appreciation of his various skill sets. Riveria Paradise from Austin City Limits 1989. A song Stevie wrote after his own rehab and recovery dedicated to all those out there still suffering from addiction. It is so beautiful💯 . Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland Montreux Jazz Festival 1985 and everyone' favorite Life Without You Capitol Theatre 1985 which is another song Stevie wrote in memory of his good friend Charley Wirz, a Dallas guitar shop owner who passed away suddenly. I subbed the first time,you did a Stevie and I am looking forward to more from you. You've only just begun to scratch the surface. 🎸🎶✌️💙💯🎸‼️
Agree with you totally!! I was extremely fortunate to see him I believe it was in December of 1983 when he came through San Diego & played in Montezuma Hall at San Diego State College. I was 23 & went at the urging of one of my good friends & All I can say is having seen him play up close & in person LIVE , he blew me away about like you in this reaction video . The entire performance is occasionally found out in RUclips land , just search “ STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN live in San Diego 1983 “ and hopefully it comes up . To say he was still fired up just like in your video here would be an understatement. I became a life long follower & severely was bummed about his passing in 1990…. Videos do him well , but to have seen him in person left a lasting DEEP appreciation for just how far above every other guitar player he was at that time & pretty much still is to this day . I was never fortunate to have seen Jimi Hendrix play live ( and I was only 9 in ‘69 when he came through San Diego & played at our sports arena), but I think SRV took Hendrix’s Little Wing to a whole higher next level , and all while playing extreme homage to Jimi at the same time . R.I.P. to both of them , probably two of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar and change the way we viewed playing one . Thanks for posting this one again & look forward to seeing you react next time 👍. C-ya
Leave My Girl Alone (Austin), Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love (Capitol Theater), Oreo Cookie Blues (collab with one of his idols, Lonnie Mack, on The American Caravan). BONUS: A hilarious music video by SRV and Double Trouble, addressing Stevie's guitar obsession and featuring the song "Cold Shot."
"What is he doing?" If I had a dime for every time I've wondered that while trying to figure out one of his solos bud- I'd be a rich man. Stevie is one of those guys where you can know every note he's playing, exactly- but you still can't execute it and make it sound right. Hendrix is the same way- it's difficult to figure out what he's doing- but its even more difficult once you do figure it out- to actually do it yourself. You'll work on one little phrase for a week and be like "Finally- I did it- I'm superman..." then you remember that's just one line in a five-minute solo from hell- it's going to take months to finally get it all- and then it's still not going to sound right. That's the difference in someone like myself- who really wants to play but isn't especially talented- and someone like Stevie or Jimi that's just born to do it. They instinctively get it in minutes- I work for months and still sound like someone trying to get it, but falling short.
Can appreciate someone who is always astounded by Stevie Ray. Natural born guitar Alien. Home Planet unknown. How can we limit favorites to three? Other than Little Wing, Change It from Live Alive, any Voodoo Chile, Cold Shot, El Macombo. And😁 Ain't gone n give up on Love, Capital Theater. ☮️
Just wanted to let you know Courtney hadwin little thirteen-year-old girl on America's got is now 18 almost 19 has released her first single as an independent the song and video is called breakable beautiful song of beautiful video she also has another release coming April 7th love to see you do a reaction to her now thanks

My brother was at his last concert at Alpine Valley. He said it was one of the greatest shows he's ever seen. A true master.
Everyone who was there says the same thing ,including Eric Clapton
Great reaction! Love all Stevie Ray Vaughans music! He is the BEST! Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland is a great one and so is In Session with Albert King, and so many more! Life without You at The Capital is another great!
ShEEr Unadulterated ClaSS!😻👌
Yes, a virtuoso, and he always sounds great. He's a musician. Thank you for your freaking comments, Bro👍👍☀️☀️🎉🎉🎉
I love watching his face as he plays. Crazy.
His songs called The Sky is Crying and Ain't Gone Give Up on Love would be good reaction videos.
BEST GUITARRIST EVER

One of the best instrumentals you'll ever hear.
Spiritual indeed!!! Love your reaction!!! We love our SRV!!! Love from Texas🤠🤠🤠
third stone from the sun from same concert,will blow your mind even more

life without you live.
Like a great movie, you should listen several more times. There is a lot there.
Nice vid.
There are actually words to this song - Sting has a nice cover of it... its a great song and a great platform for improvisation
Of course, it is Jimi Hendrix that Sting is covering, not SRV, since Little Wing is originally a Hendrix song.
You got it right. To see Stevie live was a treat. Twice for me. Bronco Bowl in Dallas and Will Rogers in Ft Worth.
Man, RIP Bronco Bowl! That place was way better than the Home Depot there now.
My top 3 is all from capital theater life without you then ain't gone n give up on love and couldn't stand the weather
I like that Capital Theatre concert a lot too....Stevie was on fire!
Need to hear the original Jimi Hendrix version LIVE
The GOAT! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's a slightly longer video of this same performance that shows the ending where he throws his guitar on the floor and plays it Hendrix style.
This is my favorite Stevie Ray performance, then "Riviera Paradise" and then "Lenny". . . . .
Life without you capital theater. Master of reverb. Changes guitar at beginning of song without missing a beat.
Dirty Pool, Montreaux, Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland, The Things that I used to do, (?)with Jimmy Vaughan ☮️
My top 3 are this one , Texas Flood live at El Macombo and Life Without You live at the Capital Theater
So much going on in this performance. One thing, all those insane bends and vibrato are be played on 13g strings.
Check out "Little Sister" for the smoothest guitar swap ever. Mary Had a Little Lam is great too! We sure miss Stevie Ray!
Top three SRV performances are
Tin Pan Alley with SRV AND JOHNNY COPELAND
TEXAS FLOOD
VOODOO CHILD
Leave My Girl Alone (Austin), Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love (Capitol Theater), Oreo Cookie Blues (collab with one of his idols, Lonnie Mack, on The American Caravan). BONUS: A hilarious music video by SRV and Double Trouble, addressing Stevie's guitar obsession and featuring the song "Cold Shot."
One thing I must add, if one can pull it off, the pimped out gunslinger look is straight 🔥
I like Lenny too. Ah hell, I like all his stuff.
Lenny and riviera paradise are both great
There are originally words to this song. It is originally a Jimi Hendrix song, with words, but Stevie makes it just as enjoyable without them.
Texas Flood. Pride And Joy. Crossfire.
SRV is literally the cheat code of guitar!!!!❤❤❤

All excellent choices....but then all of his music is excellent!
🤠 Perhaps "Guitar Savant" would be an apt description? 🎸
Awesome react bro, i HIGLY recommmend you steve vai "tender surender" and all his songs, sorry for my english i'm French
Third Stone From The Sun (another Hendrix cover) performed at El Mocambo.
Sometimes he is so ln tune with the guitar you don't know if he's singing or the guitar is. Especially on Voodoo Child.
you should check out his instrumental Lenny with him playing it live
He grew up idolizing his older brother Jimmie Vaughan.
He's great... May I suggest you go take a listen to Adam Raised A Cain by Bruce Springsteen? Not as long as this but still quite impressive. 😊
The guitar switch and look at little
Try Tin Pan Alley with SRV and Johnny Copland 1985
He never played any song the same. He did not read music and played how he felt on thst day.
Voodoo Chile from Austin City Limits,,,,,,,,,Texas Flood from Live at The El Mocombo,,,,,, Couldn't Stand The Weather from Austin City Limits
the crowd is Very Canadian
Just wanted to let you know Courtney hadwin little thirteen-year-old girl on America's got is now 18 almost 19 has released her first single as an independent the song and video is called breakable beautiful song of beautiful video she also has another release coming April 7th love to see you do a reaction to her now thanks
Yes I def gotta watch more of her stuff !!!
thanks for Jimmy Hendrix
Mary had a little lamb
Rude Mood, Life without you, dirty Pool
Yeah, Dirty Pool doesn't get enuff love.
Escuchar esto con un solo audífono es una falta de respeto. Solo lo podría hacer un banana como este.
Is that a jar of mayonnaise?
