      @@lukapejkovic918 Yes you're correct, the guitar in this video was owned by Stevies friend, and Stevies hands were so strong that they actually cracked the neck, which is absolutuely phenomenal. "Used on MTV Unplugged. and probably the same guitar Stevie used in 1985 for a benefit show, during which he played his first public acoustic set. This guitar actually belonged to Stevie's friend and personal assistant Timothy Duckworth. Timothy recalls that Stevie's hands were so strong that he accidently cracked the neck. The Hard Rock asked Stevie if they could have the damaged guitar, and Timothy said okay. I assume it is the one which has been on display at the Dallas Hard Rock Cafe for many years." - www.stevieray.com/gear.htm

MTV & Unplugged was one if the best ideas anyone ever came up with. We need more of this unplugged in the world today.

      Its cause the room is small. A Lot of times when you hear the Audeince clap along and it goes out of sync its cause the sound is taking time to travel to the back of the auditorium so when the claps travel back to the front(where the mics are) it creates a natural delay. So depending on how big the space is the audience literally cannot clap in time. its impossible.

      A lot of it has to do with his strumming hand. As guitarists we often are, rightfully so, focused on what our heroes are doing on the fretboard, but SRV was as skilled an unique with his picking and strumming as with anything going on with the neck.

    I remember seeing a John Mayer interview several years ago, where John said that SRV was untouchable because of his raw energy. Stevie would bring it every single time he touched a guitar. Some guys might get close for maybe a night or two throughout their whole tour, but he was doing it every night. You really can hear the pure talent and energy in every song of his.
    And really a great voice...and my favorite part of the video is when he finishes that last song, after nailing like four straight licks in a row, he looks up and grins and I can tell he's like, "well damn that was cool."

My brother turned me onto Stevie before the radio stations began playing his music. It was ultimately the best concert I've ever been too. There is no one, and I mean absolutely NO ONE WHO COULD FILL Stevie's shoes, or even come close. He is, by far, my favorite artist. I had everything Stevie Ray had ever recorded included all bootleg. Sadly, it was stolen from me. Nothing could ever replace my collection of the greatest blues guitarist ever! He is, to me, the ultimate blues guitarists/ vocalist of all time. God bless you Stevie for no one could ever fill your shoes. I'm so greatcoat to have had the opportunity to see him live. No one could take that from me. One of your truest fans, Gina Macaulay.

On the marquee in big, big letters it said Dallas welcomes THE MOODY BLUES. In small little ones it read just like this w/special guest stevie ray vaughn. No capitals, no nothing. Me and my bud I was 16 yrs old. 8th row just to the right of center, we had 3 fat killer doobs. We smoked and we were laughin our asses at anything because we were high and my bud was just a funny looking guy. So he said well "Billy we gotta sit through some clown named Stevie Ray Vaughn then the Moody's come on". I was like yea cool very cool, but,but first Stevie right, with his SRV NO 1 strat came on w/Double Trouble. Probably within maybe 3 minutes that's all it took. We saw the greatest bluesman to ever live. For me and I've seen so many greats live here's my list Santana, Page, Gilmour, Dimeola, Satriana, Lifeson, J. Vaughn, Beck, S. Howe, S. Stills, Eddie Hazel, Ag. Young, R. Trower, Mike Campbell, L. Buckingham, Jimmy Herring, Jeff Healey. Michael Hedges, Leo Kottke, Stanley Jordan, Pat Methany, Jeff Buckley...A few others I can't think of at the moment.

      I always try to point that out to folks as well. Stevie's vocals are so underrated. he was such a great vocalist as well, and a lyracist as well. he was such a complete package, people just overlook everything outside of his guitar playing, which is a shame. I think early on he recorded alot of covers because he lacked the confidence in his own songwriting, but as time went on it was proven he was a fantastic songwriter. his original songs are classics that hold up as well as any of the covers he did. And that voice . Man, he had such a gorgeous tone and he could communicate so much emotion in his voice. I prefer his voice more than Clapton, Hendrix, or any of the Blues greats.

    Back when people recognized and loved a musician for their sheer talent. Stevie never needed anything else to prove how great or genuine he was. When you hear his playing, or see live videos like this, you know instantly who it is, and that it’s going to be great, and that’s what makes him so special. His musicianship was out of this world, and he was a really good hearted man. It’s a shame he didn’t stick around with us a bit longer. Thank you always to Stevie Ray Vaughan for the loving vibes and amazing music, and the inspiration to pick up the guitar

    Saw SRV in 78 at Fitzgerald’s in Houston. Before Double Trouble was formed. I had heard a lot about him. I told a coworker that played guitar we have to go see the show. We went and it was impressive. Over the years in just got better. Unfortunately only saw him and double trouble one more time before his death. I still listen to their music. I’m 66 yrs old native Texan. SRV and Double Trouble were very much responsible for rejuvenating the Blues rock in the US and the World. Amazing 👍👍🇺🇸🇨🇱

    I showed this to a coworker and she told me her boyfriend could do this because he is soooo good at guitar. so I told her to send him the video. He told her to apologize. Can you imagine thinking someone is a better guitar player than SRV? Ignorance.
