I agree that was one of his best if not the best one of his performances but I also think his tone and life got cleaner and more melodic when he got himself clean and his later performances was just as awesome, just not as angry 😉. SRV for life. Lost but never forgotten
By far my favorite performance from SRV. I’ve routinely watched all his performance DVD’s. But by far, tone, playing everything in this performance literally changed my life. El Mocambo was a bible for me.
I very much like the In The Beginning album.. There's Tin Pan Alley Shake for me Tell me Really raw versions.. Especially Tin Pan Everyone always mentions the studio version or the duet with Johnny Copeland and they are superbly played. Yet the rawness of this version, hits harder
Nailed it thank you… That’s when I’m most happy, when I’m building and feeling my own thing based on what these guys did… I don’t hit my groove often, but I get in there that’s the best…
A very helpful set of licks. Thanks for breaking it down and opening up a new world. Your patience is greatly appreciated. Your playing inspirational. First saw Stevie at “My Fathers Place” Rosalyn Long Island NY in “83” Last time at an El Rayo X (David Lindley) and Jackson Browne Show in Saratoga Springs NY. Stevie was hanging out on the side of the stage then joined on stage for the rest of the show. Needless to say crushed when he passed. Thanks again. You have a great channel. All the best.
Dude when I was a kid my dad had a VHS of SRV live at el Mocambo and I wore that thing out. I would play it over and over I was completely mesmerized by it. Also great lesson 👍🏻
So glad I found you! Bro you NAILED IT. Thank you for the advice too...I've always tried to be exact with the licks, but as long as you get it close and make it your own it will feel and play out better. THANK YOU THANK YOU
I am realizing after watching your vids for some time now, you really have a great talent. Playing and breaking down how it is done by riff and equipment. So glad you are doing this. Also, tell Matt to sell me the '69! So serious!! Peace
Another awesome Wednesday thanks to Nik. Really enjoy these woodshed Wednesday’s man. I agree with your philosophy on the note for note thing too, for me It’s Always been more about ‘being in the ballpark’ and adding your own spin to it. Keep em coming
Great video! Best one yet. Love how you reference his influences when you explain what he was doing. I think the whole point is to put your own take on something and playing it your own way with your own feel. Learning something note for note and copying every nuance of someones solo is like copying the way someone would speak. You'll never develop your own style that way.
Nik this is another great vid for SRV playing enthusiasts. I learned this song in the 90’s along so many of his others. His style was definitely an amalgamation of several of his heroes including his brother. Your intro was spot on in regards to learning your hero’s licks but not necessarily playing them note for note. Even Stevie never played the songs exactly note for note like they were recorded in the studio. And that’s what Blues is all about...Feeling. He played Little Wing different at some gigs. There’s different recorded versions of songs he did that I can appreciate from an musicians point of view. The “meat and potatoes “ of the song is there but he’d change tempos, solo voicings, and the general feel of the song. I’m preaching to the choir here but us Blues musicians more often than not, know that soloing is all about feel. Keeping the structure of the song is important but feeling the solo is typically based on how I feel at that particular moment. I don’t play covers much anymore. But when I do the song is definitely recognizable, but I make it my own. And of course chasing tone can take a lifetime. A musicians journey is a never ending one. Always evolve. Nik you’re extremely talented and I thank you for posting your vids. And on another note...a few of your vids helped me decide to purchase a few of Jesse’s pedals. They’ve been an awesome addition to my pedal arsenal and have served their purpose on some of my original material. Hope to hear more from you Brother.
Something I picked up from the el mocambo performance is how well and efficiently Stevie chose his chords/chord shapes. He played every chord in a way that he could use the Hendrix thumb on the bass string method so he wouldn't have to move his hand orientation, was able to move between chords very efficiently/fast and even always could keep his index finger close to the 3rd fret on the E,B & G string. It works perfectly with the G 6th, C 7th Suspended 2nd and D 7th (shape like a c7 just shifted 2 frets). It probably also helped a lot while playing behind his back as he could kind of anchor his hand in one place 90% of the time
NIC, man I see alot of myself in you. I love Stevie and I live to play guitar. I just found him 4-5 years ago and he will always be my favorite guitar player. But I also work hard for a living with my hands and fell ya Nick. Its tough. You work all day doing strenuous things with you hands then come home and play guitar and you feel the strain in the rists and elbow. Good luck with the surgeries and I pray for you that you will get this fixed. Its a struggle. God bless you. You rock! I'm a mechanic due to my father teaching me mechanics from a small child but I do Handyman Services for a living. Everything from Remodeling to repairs, electrical, changing light bulbs and hangingpictures. Just whatever the customers needs. It's tough but I push hard to play and make my band sound good. Keep being a humble cool dude!
Amazing gear talk. In ‘85’ Stevie would have two vibroverbs on the bottom and two super reverbs on top of the vibroverbs.(you can see this perfectly at the Easter seals show)
So in the picking HAND . Great job because it is when you start out, guitarist always work on that fingering hand but the Personality comes from that picking hand
Big thank you Nick. Elmocambo is very definitive of what his live performances were like. For those that never seen him live, this video is gold. I had the chance to see him play only once and that experience still resonates with me to this day. I personally consider El mocambo a blueprint for any SRV fan. I'd still like to find out what amp he was using during the recording of In the Beginning. Excellent job Thanks again Nick
Sorry guess I should have indicated that my question was what was SRV using for the recording of the album In the Beginning. To me Stevie seems to have a very unique sound on that particular recording. Guess it could also be attributed to the acoustics and the way the mics were placed. Just thought you might know.
Greg Glick If it’s Texas flood era your referring to apparently he was using the Vibroverb’s and a dumble and also a bit part of the sound was a Roland rack dimension chorus too!
Nik, I couldn't agree with you more on trying to play like Stevie.. I had a long conversation with Rene Martinez about Stevie's gear years ago.. Afterwards he asked me what am I trying to do..? I told him, I'm chasing his tone, I want that sound... He said Frank, even though this would never happen. And Jimmy Vaughan allowed you to come here and play through Stevie's complete rig... You won't sound the same... It's in your hands he told me...! After a while I took his advise and just play the best I can.... R.I.P. My Blues Hero....
I always find it interesting how much people are drawn to the el-mocambo performance. Don’t get me wrong it is fantastic but I always liked the later more sober Stevie performances. He was more sensitive and didn’t overplay. Just my 2 cents. Regardless this video is fantastic!
I will leave one of my purple Guitar picks on Stevie's resting place for You my Blues Brother next time I go to visit Him, and I might shed a few tears for Both of us. Your Friend and Blues Brother Mark Doyal Cowboy
Read a SRV interview years ago where he said the Vibroverb's serial numbers were in sequence to each other but he bought them at two different places at two different times.
greetings bro excellent your videos I am also a great fan of Vaughan I do not stop watching your videos I have some doubts and I hope you can help me, I have a fender stratocaster with texas special, a fuzz face mini, an octavia siete santos, a cray baby, ts9, boss sd1, dunlop univibe uv1, mxr phaser 90, delay dd3 and a booster seymoure duncan, my amp is a 60 watt fender hot rod deville 212, what pedal order do you recommend and what settings in my amp to get a sound similar to from Vaughan I also have a big shot efx tonebone, I hope you can help me and thanks for your time and wisdom a big greeting from Argentina
As great as Stevie and Jimi were, it's dangerous to put these guys on a pedestal, as if to say their standard will never be attained again. We all need to feel 'magic and myth' vibes, but there are definitely players out there today just as good, pushing the envelope, and with their own way of doing things. This level isn't unattainable, but these guys simply got there first, and we love them for it...and the passionate player can certainly get very close to them, as we've all got souls inside us.
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 yeah 'in his time' which backs up my comment that we love them 'cos they got there first. I'm fully behind you by the way man, I'm just saying, don't sell yourself short, none of us should. If we're doing all this practicing and gear hunting and tone searching to only ever be inferior to these guys, what's the point? Do you think they'd want that for us? Or rather do you think it better that they opened doors for us so we can sound and feel like they did when they played too? It's a soul/expression thing. If we're doing this just to be 'poor mimics' of a mythical unattainable level of playing, isn't that kinda sad?
It's not dangerous , its reality . Everyone who has ever picked up the guitar and loves guitar based music will know eventually that nobody will ever create guitar sounds like Hendrix ever again . I've been listening to Jimi for 30+ years and still get the shivers listening to him every time , and rightly so , because nobody can pull stuff like that , same for Peter Green and Kossoff and Hubert Sumlin all untouchable in my opinion.
@@Dad-Gad you're living in more of a fantasy world than any kind of reality. A world of negative, backwards beta-male thinking. I absolutely love Jimi and SRV, but there are guys around today, and in between, who have all done equally great things. It's been said a million times and then some, but it's about finding your own voice....and if we were lucky enough to be sat talking to Jimi and Stevie, they'd say the same thing. They were pioneers and truly gifted, but at the end of the day, playing pentatonic blues licks..to act like somehow they were gods and absolutely nobody ever again will come close to what they did, is pretty lame, and certainly not something they'd want to be associated with. It's about soul, passion, and intention when you hit some notes, simple as.
@@LeighGhostTao I can quite rightly say nobody was doing what Jimi was doing before him and anyone after is a pale imitation , if you've got any suggestions of any guitarist that's as good as Jimi and can play jazz , blues , soul , rock , acoustic , like Jimi I'd love to hear them ........ beta male lol you silly goose .
Yes , the spacer was introduced around 59. Check it, from guitarhq: -1950 to Mid-1956: Single round "button" string guide for E & B strings. Mid 1956: Changed to a "butterfly" string guide. 1959: a metal spacer is used beneath the butterfly string guide. 1964: the metal spacer is changed to a nylon spacer beneath the butterfly string guide during-
I love that place for info. In the video and a few others it looked like it was with no spacer so I didn't know if you took it off for a reason. Thanks. I love this video btw. Even though I've known every life performance note for note at one point. It's always refreshing to see a diffrent take and hell ya for making it your own. That's what the blues is for me. It's not cover songs, it's my verson or Ronnie Earl's "baby doll blues" or whatever. Idk if you are into Ronnie but if you did a woodshed Wendsday on specifically the recorded version of baby doll blues. That would be really cool. I'd love to see how you interoperate licks and phrasings of his. He's hands down neck and neck with Stevie to me. His style and tone are just pure blues plus a strat and super reverb.
Yea. Ronnie is local to me and a easy contemporary to stevie. Ronnie was also in the mix earlier on. Baby doll blues is an A1 burner. Otis rush all day. Will do some licks on that sometime!
Whear have I been missing on all this good stuff what are some of the dexterity exercises needed for this style the blues is a great style that's set the British are coming I love SRV I was one of the first to get his album Texas Flood threw a man who my father knew no body around me had it or ever heard or who is SRV oh he's my primo from my my fader moder side I can prove it but that's not important what is important I should of followed threw not even the radio station where playing it I messed up I always loved SRV infact my dad said give some of those records back the dude said SRV is going to blow everyone's minds dam I never heard guitar like this and man I wish I had the album it was not like all the albums they cleaned the seeds from the weed it never was what we were listing to like where the f%$# is Austen what's a Texas flood but I loved the guitar his sound and this guy on this video has nailed it no smart phones in my day no you tube internet just a promoter businessman with a van full of albums I probably would of not picked SRV album but he told my dad let him have this one and explained what was up excuse this long text I should of done it then but I'm going to at least learn I did fake it for a while Mary Had A Little Lamb on acoustic got me a few cokes at the bar i could of said oh i made it up but respect for SRV l never did not blasmy him only said he was my primo... Roland J Gutierrez from Magdalena New Mexico USA. ..
I like how you explain this is not exact because then you got some idiot trying to tell you oh you missed a half a note great job !!!! How about in the style of Stevie Ray to keep their mouth shut ??
Everyone picks up techniques from your favourite influences , unless you're as talented as Hendrix or SRV which I doubt any of us are , mere mortals have to play the classics . Even Jimi and Stevie wore their influences on their sleeves as evidenced in their licks .
That el-mocambo gig is one of the best guitar performances there is.
I would go with THE best, 2nd place being SRV Life Without You at The Cotton Club
I agree that was one of his best if not the best one of his performances but I also think his tone and life got cleaner and more melodic when he got himself clean and his later performances was just as awesome, just not as angry 😉. SRV for life. Lost but never forgotten
Of SRV, litsen to the full montrey concert recording/album of jimi hendrix and come back
I've said for yrs "El Mocambo" is Stevie's greatest live footage there is! He was extra brilliant on this night for sure!
By far my favorite performance from SRV. I’ve routinely watched all his performance DVD’s. But by far, tone, playing everything in this performance literally changed my life. El Mocambo was a bible for me.
I very much like the In The Beginning album..
There's Tin Pan Alley
Shake for me
Tell me
Really raw versions..
Especially Tin Pan
Everyone always mentions the studio version or the duet with Johnny Copeland and they are superbly played.
Yet the rawness of this version, hits harder
Nailed it thank you… That’s when I’m most happy, when I’m building and feeling my own thing based on what these guys did… I don’t hit my groove often, but I get in there that’s the best…

Yes. One of those vibros would control the leslie. So he was still using the one amp for the two speakers (15). My favorite TONE!

Thats the secret right there
The key to these licks is noticing the dominant chord shapes,G7,Cdom9,Ddom9 in the licks and the blues scale.
I always find it interesting how much people are drawn to the el-mocambo performance. Don’t get me wrong it is fantastic but I always liked the later more sober Stevie performances. He was more sensitive and didn’t overplay. Just my 2 cents. Regardless this video is fantastic!

If anyone would disagree with you about no one being able to totally copy Stevie's playing they should put the guitar down and get a set some drums.
Your giving the area code, not the full number. That’s how I always like to look at it as
I like how you explain this is not exact because then you got some idiot trying to tell you oh you missed a half a note great job !!!! How about in the style of Stevie Ray to keep their mouth shut ??
He talks to much bla, bla, bla,
Get to the point boring
Made it a point to let the viewers know it was chatty. Its an explanation , all to help. For free.
You can also Just skip forward ,
Can we see some originals? Playing like someone else gets u nowhere unless your a tribute band= nowhere
Its a lesson series.
Everyone picks up techniques from your favourite influences , unless you're as talented as Hendrix or SRV which I doubt any of us are , mere mortals have to play the classics . Even Jimi and Stevie wore their influences on their sleeves as evidenced in their licks .
