Seeing Stevie in such a candid setting, so relaxed, and clearly after he had gotten clean, has me yearning so badly for what might have been. There was nobody like him, and we are all the worse off having lost him so terribly early.
Agreed! Watching this on the anniversary of his passing. All I can say is I am so grateful that in all the universes and infinite possibilities, we lived in and shared the same timeline with this man. Think about how incredible that is- we lived and shared life, albeit far too brief, with this legend. So grateful for him and his music!
My guitar playing would be nothing without this man. All I ever wanted was to cop his licks as a kid. He was, and still is everything to me as a "guitar player." RIP Stevie. TY.
I'm the same, I would be no where without Stevie, learning his licks kept me off the street and just overall made me what I am today, I still get chills listening to his stuff
That dude was on another level when it come to being a guitar player granted he had some great influences but then he in turn influenced a lot of players after him! Sarah Michelle you have great taste
@@joshuagibson2520 Ok Josh i don't doubt that Stevie was king and maybe i was a little bias in my statement , it's all down to horses for courses at the end of the day. Rory Gallagher was international guitarist of the year 1970 , please check out Rory Gallagher the beat club sessions and tell me what you think please. Stevie played with so much aggression and anger and was unbelievable to say the least but you cannot deny that Rory had a passion that could not be beaten . Two different guitarists with two different styles that individually could never be matched.
@@alexlogan4654 you're right. I did watch some live Rory after my comment. I can't believe I'd never heard of him. I'll Def be diving deeper into his catalog.
@@IzziedeD yesss, IMO that has been the next evolution in guitar styles. it seems to blend a lot of genres into one, jazz, rock, blues, metal etc. and its open to anything since its very jazz oriented in nature allowing for dissonance to be used as a main melody. its awesome.
Yes indeed! It would have been a whole other level. A level that I don’t believe we have yet so see and hear from any other artist since him. That level still hasn’t been approached in my humble opinion.
The baby face is gone & now a handsome man sure of himself sober & happy doing his best music. This man's mark in music will always be a benchmark for any guitarist in following him. R.I.P. Stevie Ray Vaughan
Love your take. This was my impression too. I thought he looked handsome, mature and self assured. I loved this clip because we get to see him like this.
I got the pleasure of seeing him play in a very small bar in Texas one weekend a month a Friday and Saturday night for 12 months. About 2 years before he ever put out an album. He was awesome.
Amen to that! Sweet Stevie! A great musician, and singer. He gave his heart and soul, into his music. He is loved all over the world, and will alway's be remembered. 💖
This was the greatest guitar player that ever lived it’s the first time I’ve seen him with his hat off, my hat is off to you Stevie, I pray you made it to heaven.
When you have greats like Clapton, Guy, Mayer and others saying it was amazing to watch/listen to SRV play, you know he was the best. IMO, he was the greatest of all time.
Celebrities praise each other and kiss up to each other in the media all the time, it is so boring and meaningless. All they are doing is taking the high road because they know how the media likes to run with things.
That single coils buzz really tells how high the volume was. His playing was so fast and accurate .. so sad that he's gone .. still my #1 guitar player. Rip SRV ..
Amen bro. The guy was another Hendrix or more. Great talent. He was the only one that really had that Hendrix sound. Clapton never came close to what Stevie was able to do.
Absolutely man... it still makes a lot of us sick. And he was in such a good place personally....sober, loving life, loving his music....such a damn shame that he left the world.
I recorded a sound check of SRV in 1989 at Red Rocks - literally played 10 minutes to an empty venue with sounds echoing all around and I just happened to be there, gear in hand. Amazingly, I got caught taping BB King later that evening, and they TOOK THE TAPE!!! Always wondered about that loss. Anyway, love your recording!
I was going to say the same thing. Saw him at a live show in 1985...he was amazing. His playing seemed effortless. But he looked to be in pretty rough shape for a young guy...his brother opened with his band the Fabulous T-birds and they did a bit where they played a double-neck guitar together.
I was blessed enough to see SRV many times during my time in Austin, 82-04. Quite the performer. Always a great show. Antone's, Roam In, Auditorium Shores, etc.
Such a loss, Stevie Ray was a force to be reckoned with, his playing style was amazing. I never got a chance to see him live so any video I get to see is a treat. RIP SRV.
SRV's sound is one of those that you recognize instantly, like Toni Iommi's, Brian May's, Angus', Santana and few more. Thanks to these legends we are better people.
This was recorded not long after he had cleaned up and gotten sober. I remember being so happy when I heard that, because that meant he’d be around for a long time. He was playing better than ever and he was clear eyed and seemed happy. And then he died. Fuck. This takes me right back to that day.
I don’t look at his passing as “he died” Stevie lost his life like too many young and up and coming artists did from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. If you think about it there seems to be something really sinister and ominous in the similar ways their time was cut short on this earth. It’s tough to think about. SRV, Hendrix, Morrison, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines, Janis Joplin, Bon Scott, Duane Allman, Cliff Burton, Otis Redding, Richie Valens, Sid Vicous, Buddy Holly, Cobaine, Staley, R. Rhoades,Amy Winehouse, Scott Weiland, Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, Prince, Michael Jackson, Robert Johnson and more than I can remember but just to name some. It’s mind boggling to think too long about and about 90% of these great musicians I listed were gone before they turned the age of 30! Thank you to all of these great musicians and souls who left too early but gave us a part of themselves to cherish for generations to come. Rest In Peace and may the sun shine upon those who you left too early on this earth, your loved ones.
So in high school my buddy and I wanted to go see him in concert. Just before we got tickets one of our buddies decided to throw a party on the night the concert was to be on. We didn't want to miss the party so we said, hey let's catch him around on the next time. He passed just a few short months later. After that I never missed a concert again. I got to see B.B. King several times, I saw John Lee Hooker just before he passed and so on. I'll never make that mistake again.
@Rex R I agree with you, that there is nothing mysterious about a junkie dying of an eventual overdose. You are spot on. However; what I said was that it’s “ominous” or even slightly “sinister” Never mysterious. I don’t think a single one of these artists deaths was mysterious. I believe we all know the cause of each ones demise. SRV wasn’t a victim of his own drug use because he was clean and sober at the time of the accident. Some of these artists died as a result of the personal choices they made for themselves but others died as a result of someone else’s personal choices and/or mistakes. It’s a shame that any life be lost earlier than what that souls plotted course in life should have been.
Dude I was stationed at KI Sawyer AFB in the upper pennensula of Michigan. Not too far from where he crashed. I remember hearing it in the radio and was literally brought to a tear...devastated. What a blues guitar god....
Love knowing that that man played in my home town at Ardent studios and live gigs. Saw him the year before he passed away playing at the Beale St Music fest. Great man.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, was a one of a kind musician, and singer. I watch at least one live video of him "Each and Every Day"! For real. SRV will not be forgotten. He was by all accounts, a sweet and humble man. All of us that are his fan's love him, so very much. 💞
Zol Fodor He was virtually unknown in England at the time, but went down really well, the audience loved him. He was awesome. A terrific memory from my teenage years :)
Sir Hilary Flange Yes, nobody really had a clue who he was but he really won the crowd over. Probably his biggest gig at the time, about 25,000 there. I remember watching him do Voodoo Child and being blown away. You can hear it on the link above, amazing version.
Saw him MANY times, all the way back to the Cobra's. Saw him the last night he played Austin (Auditorium Shores) and he talked about sobriety and played the greatest performance I had ever seen.
Stevie Ray Vaughan....I'm so proud to be named after you and I'm so sad that I never got the privilege of meeting you and seeing you do what you loved to do. You are and will always be my idol. Your talent and memory will never fade so long. As I am alive. Thank you so much for the gift that you left us. rest in peace forever Stevie Ray...I love you brother.
@@bluesrocker91 yep,when they crank on the amps,weaknesses show up,stevie was something else,one of a kind,genius--------------plays and sings it to life-------------genius
They hum real bad when you are selecting 1,3 and 5 on the pickup selector switch. Positions 2 and 5 are hum cancelling. Notice when Stevie selects either of them, the hum goes away. There is some electrical interference going on in the studio as well.
Conductive shielding paint for the pickup and control cavities. Ground each cavity with a ground wire back to the ground connection in the control cavity. Also, you can get noiseless single coils. People get stuck on vintage and original pickups being better. They are not. Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan. Time to “Change It”.
There’s many great guitarists but NOBODY comes close to Stevie!!! This sound check was better then some famous artists life time musical achievements That sound can NEVER be replicated regardless of equipment guitar studio, gone to soon we can only imagine what he had planned & what he would be doing today
He's super overrated. He was a good player with lots of soul and all that but he didn't bring anything new to the table. He said it himself in an interview. He copied the lick of his heroes and imbued them with his own sound. That's about it. There are lots of contemporary guitarist that would play circles around SRV but who cares as long as we can dwell in the past.
ah don't kid yourself his music wasnt the same once he got off the cocaine and booze his live performances were not the same when he was sober. a split in the community of fans when he was on drugs and not...... his last years before the crash alot have objected his live shows just watch them for yourself in japan and the entire leg of his last live performances which were great but nothing in comparison to his drug fuel days.
@@johndope2695 I agree 100% but unfortunately We as an adult community cannot say this to new guitarists learning about SRV I am sure you understand, those drugs fuelled his fantasy, he could of seen elephants flying around the stage & his way of battle was to play & play hard!! 🤷🏻♂️
@@chrisking6695 you know 0 about blues. if you talk like that then bonamasssa and mayer are overrated af too. second srv coppied licks and put his own licks in between. third he put the texas sound on it, wich is more difficult that delta or chicago. fourth haha overrated he played jazz created his own jazz songs, show me your guitar players playing jazz on of the most hardest genres to play, stevie was an allround player that made hendrix his songs way better. school yourself better about blues, stevie is the best blues guitarist there iever will be . there is no arguing with people like you, if stevie is overrated than play his style on your guitar, ah yes you cant . overrated HAHAHAHA best joke ever, yikes even the two kings bb and albert said it themselves so who are you hahaha
I was lucky enough to see him live and got seats 4 rows back on the amp side. He had the dumble and cab, 2 vibroverbs, and some other fender head and cab. They were all on and wide open. Even with the plexi shield up it was furiously loud, and clear. He had more bass with the .56 E string at Eb than some bass players have. I had ringing in my ears for 24hrs easily after that.
My friend said that the only downside to seeing stevie live was hearing him live haha. He said what you did, he was extraordinarily loud, too load. Nevertheless, wish I could have cought him though. I almost got a ticket for the actual tour w Clapton and Cray. Not taking the ticket was one of the worst mistakes I ever made.
@@monkeysbum999 I dont mess the loud bands anymore. If its absurdly loud I'll leave. The ear plugs approach can work, but it's got to be those quality ones that are actually made for musicians. *Not worth the hearing loss. Already been down that road.
@@matthewhorizon6050 i suffer from some minor tinnitus from loud mixing sessions.....I would much rather prefer tinnitus from SRV live, than from whatever music i was working on at that time.
@@matthewhorizon6050 I saw him live and I don't remember him being too loud. On the other hand, I went to an Iron Maiden concert that just destroyed my ears. It was ridiculous.
For those of you who’d want to check it out, the amazing solo at the end of the video is from the song Mama, a collaboration between SRV and Italian singer-songwriter Zucchero
Thank you for sneak filming this. It means a lot to us guitarists. Ones that never had a music class in grammar school and weren’t in band in high school. Not in the music department. Knowing about how Stevie loved to play was our only encouragement
The world is so much poorer without him. He looks great here, glad he found some peace for a couple years before he died. Another humble, amazing artist gone way too soon. His sound is impeccable (though that 60Hz hum is pretty overwhelming), he makes it look so simple. Thank you Stevie. RIP.
30 years ago today. 8/27/2020. I'll never forget it. Eating spagetti with my mom & dad. I was 20 years old. News was on & announced he had died in a helicopter crash. I dropped my fork & just couldn't believe it. I cried that day. Thank the gods we still have his music.
Listening to Stevie got me to absorb, feel and play blues but there were and are to many Stevie clones. He, his brother Jimmie and Clapton taught me to dig into blues history to find my own sound. Thanks for posting.
I think from my own adventure into the blues is the simplest scale to learn and the hardest to master. It is feeling and technique with both hands that brings out that amazing sound that the blues has to offer.
Just glad I saw him several times including his last stop in Alpine Wisconsin. Fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife, couldn’t see 6 feet in front of you after the concert. Couldn’t believe they were flying choppers in that.Sad time but legends never die R.I.P. SRV. Got some nice SRV memorabilia hanging on the wall so Stevies always in the house haha ☮️
Thanks for posting more! Love watching Stevie talk about the notorious Strat single coil buzz. And seeing his reaction to his solo was pretty cool too. Really neat to hear his solo all by itself!!
Never Be Another Like Him….. His Gift of Musicianship Ability to Sing Front Vocals and Milk tones Way beyond the Best of the best guitarist is Still Holding True Today 🙏REST IN PEACE STEVIE YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🙏🇺🇸
@Rick O'Shay Well, I guarantee you don't know SHIT about what I do or don't listen to. Nobody said there weren't other good players out there, just that (read it again) SRV was better than 90% of them. If you don't like my opinion, then ignore it and keep stepping.
@@SuzyQpip honestly, i didn't initially completely understand what you meant. But I thought what you said was interesting, so I thought about it for awhile. And now I a renewed understanding of certain things. Thank you, for being the spark
Stevie is doing what I used to do with my 1982 VRI '62 Strat before I put in EMIs in the mide-1980s: pivot to find the position where the fluorescent lights and other equipment didn't cause the 60-cycle hum from the single coils to buzz.
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a great producer and as we know,was the greatest guitar player in a lifetime..His very own studio and he wrote and sang his songs before stepping on a stage to reveal a song he wrote along with band members helping out in the struggle of music..captivation and genius was behind Stevie Ray Vaughans blue's and rock n roll lyrics..all know a matter of a short time,a song was ready for the stage and the fun loving fans of Double Trouble and Stevie Ray Vaughan..success was ahead of them..
That piece of guitar solo was for Zuccherro, Madre Dolicissma.... (playback) Zucherro always had the best guest guitarists on his recordings including Clapton, SRV..!
Srv was and always will be my most influential guitarist he had a feel and technique no guitarist bar hendrix has ever attained any of his music instantly makes me feel better. Pure inspiration. See you on the other side you good TEXAN.
he so could that i can listen to him play that shuffle blues all night long!!!
I don't think I've ever seen SRV without a hat on before.
Because he was going bald.
Yeah it’s kinda like Jeff Lynne, never seen him without sunglasses !!
Same here! Until watching this video, I'd never even realised I hadn't seen him without a hat haha.
its like joa satriani and his glasses
..when he plays behind his head, the hat comes off.. e.g. .lovestruck baby at El Macombo
Seeing Stevie in such a candid setting, so relaxed, and clearly after he had gotten clean, has me yearning so badly for what might have been. There was nobody like him, and we are all the worse off having lost him so terribly early.
Dude... If these 2 Monsters met, and jammed together..
Holy mother of God and Jimi said... Can I sit in........ Beyond human copmprehinsion
Yes We Are!! And I Have This Strong Feeling That Stevie Really MISSES Everybody!💞
NobodY like him hahfha so who was hendrix. Total copy.
Agreed! Watching this on the anniversary of his passing. All I can say is I am so grateful that in all the universes and infinite possibilities, we lived in and shared the same timeline with this man. Think about how incredible that is- we lived and shared life, albeit far too brief, with this legend. So grateful for him and his music!
Sorry but all blues based guitarists sound alike. They all play the same licks and use the same scales.
My guitar playing would be nothing without this man. All I ever wanted was to cop his licks as a kid. He was, and still is everything to me as a "guitar player." RIP Stevie. TY.
I hear you brother !!!
So do I,I must have seen SRV a dozen times n saw him live at RPI, upstate NY,with Jeff Beck,the best blues guitarist ever...
I'm the same, I would be no where without Stevie, learning his licks kept me off the street and just overall made me what I am today, I still get chills listening to his stuff
copped
You copped his lick
Stevie could play just a few notes and you knew it was him. It was all in his fingers, heart and soul. RIP Stevie.
Had this gone on for several hours I’d still be here, completely enthralled. Miss you Stevie.
I'm with you Sarah!
Oh, thought you said “un-rattled” haha. Me too!
That dude was on another level when it come to being a guitar player granted he had some great influences but then he in turn influenced a lot of players after him! Sarah Michelle you have great taste
I saw him in Joplin Mo. a year or so before he died. Excellent performance... R.I.P. Stevie.
Sarah I too could listen to Stevie just noodling around on the guitar all day
Don’t be sad he’s gone, be glad he was here!
amen.
He was the hardest playing blues guitarist that ever lived.

People get stuck on vintage and original pickups being better. They are not. Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan. Time to “Change It”.
Stevie has one of the coolest tones ever!!! I love it!
Awesome!!
Incredible!!
There’s many great guitarists but NOBODY comes close to Stevie!!! This sound check was better then some famous artists life time musical achievements That sound can NEVER be replicated regardless of equipment guitar studio, gone to soon we can only imagine what he had planned & what he would be doing today
He's super overrated. He was a good player with lots of soul and all that but he didn't bring anything new to the table. He said it himself in an interview. He copied the lick of his heroes and imbued them with his own sound. That's about it. There are lots of contemporary guitarist that would play circles around SRV but who cares as long as we can dwell in the past.
ah don't kid yourself his music wasnt the same once he got off the cocaine and booze his live performances were not the same when he was sober. a split in the community of fans when he was on drugs and not...... his last years before the crash alot have objected his live shows just watch them for yourself in japan and the entire leg of his last live performances which were great but nothing in comparison to his drug fuel days.
@@johndope2695 I agree 100% but unfortunately We as an adult community cannot say this to new guitarists learning about SRV I am sure you understand, those drugs fuelled his fantasy, he could of seen elephants flying around the stage & his way of battle was to play & play hard!! 🤷🏻♂️
@@chrisking6695 you know 0 about blues. if you talk like that then bonamasssa and mayer are overrated af too. second srv coppied licks and put his own licks in between. third he put the texas sound on it, wich is more difficult that delta or chicago. fourth haha overrated he played jazz created his own jazz songs, show me your guitar players playing jazz on of the most hardest genres to play, stevie was an allround player that made hendrix his songs way better. school yourself better about blues, stevie is the best blues guitarist there iever will be . there is no arguing with people like you, if stevie is overrated than play his style on your guitar, ah yes you cant . overrated HAHAHAHA best joke ever, yikes even the two kings bb and albert said it themselves so who are you hahaha
@@johndope2695 thats pure bullshit stevie went sober in 86, seen enough videos of him playing live that nobody else could do
Man I could just listen to this guy doodle randomly for hours. Clapton said it best, it just flows out of him.
I was lucky enough to see him live and got seats 4 rows back on the amp side. He had the dumble and cab, 2 vibroverbs, and some other fender head and cab. They were all on and wide open. Even with the plexi shield up it was furiously loud, and clear. He had more bass with the .56 E string at Eb than some bass players have. I had ringing in my ears for 24hrs easily after that.
My friend said that the only downside to seeing stevie live was hearing him live haha. He said what you did, he was extraordinarily loud, too load.
Nevertheless, wish I could have cought him though. I almost got a ticket for the actual tour w Clapton and Cray. Not taking the ticket was one of the worst mistakes I ever made.
The guitar setup and clean ,massive volume are the keys
@@monkeysbum999
I dont mess the loud bands anymore. If its absurdly loud I'll leave. The ear plugs approach can work, but it's got to be those quality ones that are actually made for musicians.
*Not worth the hearing loss. Already been down that road.
@@matthewhorizon6050 i suffer from some minor tinnitus from loud mixing sessions.....I would much rather prefer tinnitus from SRV live, than from whatever music i was working on at that time.
@@matthewhorizon6050 I saw him live and I don't remember him being too loud. On the other hand, I went to an Iron Maiden concert that just destroyed my ears. It was ridiculous.
Kid Memphis recorded in that very room @ Ardent ...so cool..another great underground guitarist...and then there is Stevie!! yes!!
Thank y8ou for sharing this....I still think of him every day! I saw him 5 times....

Amazing individual. Wish we coulda' had kept him much longer. God bless his spirit.
One of the all time greatest blues guitarists ever
Please come back, Stevie Ray! We need ya' now more than ever!
For those of you who’d want to check it out, the amazing solo at the end of the video is from the song Mama, a collaboration between SRV and Italian singer-songwriter Zucchero
Thank you! I will ask about it!!
Bless you
amazing song
Non sapevo che SRV stava sulla canzone di Zucchero.... troppo bello❤❤❤❤
Was lookin for this comment
First note.
Goosebumps.
Thanks for adding this 1.iv seen it last year I believe but please upload some more.we love SRV.
Such a tragic loss. One of the greatest. Thanks for sharing this footage.
I wanna thank Stevie for the great jams he gave before he left. RIP.
Lord have mercy, I miss this man and the music he created.
watching this is like taking a step back in time! very intimate/beautiful footage!
STEVIE LOOKED GOOD AND HEALTHY , DAMN THE WORLD SURE MISSES IT SOME STEVIE
Thank you for sneak filming this.
It means a lot to us guitarists. Ones that never had a music class in grammar school and weren’t in band in high school. Not in the music department.
Knowing about how Stevie loved to play was our only encouragement
Thanks!!
The fluidity of his playing..how his hands moved. Just amazing.
Thanks for this...I was lucky enough to have seen him three times (once on the tour with Jeff Beck!)
Real world baby! All that hum and buzz are glorious.
I spent a month recording at Ardent in Memphis.. Been in that same room. Met Jimmy Vaughan there. Great studio. A lot of history.
Thank you for this. Such a cool glimpse of this man gone too soon. Good God, that tone!
damn, I had chills watching this the whole time...SRV RIP brother.
The world is so much poorer without him. He looks great here, glad he found some peace for a couple years before he died. Another humble, amazing artist gone way too soon. His sound is impeccable (though that 60Hz hum is pretty overwhelming), he makes it look so simple. Thank you Stevie. RIP.
It is such a gift to see any footage of this legend, thank you, just such a talent, i miss him so much,
30 years ago today. 8/27/2020. I'll never forget it. Eating spagetti with my mom & dad.
I was 20 years old. News was on & announced he had died in a helicopter crash. I dropped my fork &
just couldn't believe it. I cried that day.
Thank the gods we still have his music.
Listening to Stevie got me to absorb, feel and play blues but there were and are to many Stevie clones. He, his brother Jimmie and Clapton taught me to dig into blues history to find my own sound. Thanks for posting.
I think from my own adventure into the blues is the simplest scale to learn and the hardest to master. It is feeling and technique with both hands that brings out that amazing sound that the blues has to offer.
Mad skills! Thx for bringing this to us brother!!!
Just glad I saw him several times including his last stop in Alpine Wisconsin. Fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife, couldn’t see 6 feet in front of you after the concert. Couldn’t believe they were flying choppers in that.Sad time but legends never die R.I.P. SRV. Got some nice SRV memorabilia hanging on the wall so Stevies always in the house haha ☮️
A very gifted and talented person, SRV.
I was lucky enough to see SRV perform 3 times! Some of my best concert memories.
Wow! Thank you.....more please!......saw him live at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis about 6 weeks before he died....the very best!
Thanks for posting more! Love watching Stevie talk about the notorious Strat single coil buzz. And seeing his reaction to his solo was pretty cool too. Really neat to hear his solo all by itself!!
I always get tears in my eyes when I hear him perform. Enough said
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool. Thank you for the great post.
Never Be Another Like Him…..
His Gift of Musicianship Ability to Sing Front Vocals and Milk tones Way beyond the Best of the best guitarist is Still Holding True Today
🙏REST IN PEACE STEVIE
YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🙏🇺🇸
DAMN! Even absent-mindedly noodling, SRV sounds better than 90% of other blues guitarists.... incredible fluidity, attack, tone, the works!!!!!
@Rick O'Shay Well, I guarantee you don't know SHIT about what I do or don't listen to. Nobody said there weren't other good players out there, just that (read it again) SRV was better than 90% of them. If you don't like my opinion, then ignore it and keep stepping.
I always said that Stevie was not a ‘guitar player’. More like a channeler or a conduit. A rare gem of a human being 🤗
@@SuzyQpip honestly, i didn't initially completely understand what you meant. But I thought what you said was interesting, so I thought about it for awhile. And now I a renewed understanding of certain things. Thank you, for being the spark
@@SuzyQpip like Jeff Beck as well.
I could of listened to him playing around on his guitar all day long. Great tone!
60's cycle hummmmm!
No its more then that.Some ground problem.
Yea that’s outrageous noise. Got to be a ground problem.
Fender single coil pick-ups.
60 cycle hum. ie; 60hz. It's the common noise from single coils.
Stevie is doing what I used to do with my 1982 VRI '62 Strat before I put in EMIs in the mide-1980s: pivot to find the position where the fluorescent lights and other equipment didn't cause the 60-cycle hum from the single coils to buzz.
I love Stevie Ray with or without his hat. Man, he was damn fine!! ❤️
Amazing! This film footage is so historical. Forever SRV
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a great producer and as we know,was the greatest guitar player in a lifetime..His very own studio and he wrote and sang his songs before stepping on a stage to reveal a song he wrote along with band members helping out in the struggle of music..captivation and genius was behind Stevie Ray Vaughans blue's and rock n roll lyrics..all know a matter of a short time,a song was ready for the stage and the fun loving fans of Double Trouble and Stevie Ray Vaughan..success was ahead of them..
What a way to shuffle the blues. He’s got his own swing. Don’t know exactly why is different. Maybe he’s just amazing
Let's go with that.
He drags the backbeat to get that effect
Amazing. Nobody sounds like him. Miss him every day.
The absolute BEST...EVER
Your Sound in Your Hand. .. Very Special Music Moment. .. Great Talent. .. Thank' s so Much Mr. S. R. V ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏
SRV was taken from us way too young. I'm glad that I had the privilege of seeing him live in 1988.
This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
Man, the 60hz hum was SO loud. Amazing how it cleaned up when he started playing. No one would even buy a rig with that hum in modern days.
I’m shocked that it wasn’t dealt with
Killer sound and playing
In my opinion, I believe he was the greatest guitarist. RIP Stevie.🎸
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏
Thanks for sharing this nice little persinal time
That piece of guitar solo was for Zuccherro, Madre Dolicissma.... (playback) Zucherro always had the best guest guitarists on his recordings including Clapton, SRV..!
Srv was and always will be my most influential guitarist he had a feel and technique no guitarist bar hendrix has ever attained any of his music instantly makes me feel better. Pure inspiration. See you on the other side you good TEXAN.
Matthew Goodridge what about Ritchie Blackmore ?
@@AndyNyle Great guitarist far different style massive influence on malmsteen and neo classical guitarist's worldwide. But not as bluesy as Stevie
Amen, brother ...
Não canso de vê-lo...sinto tanto que ele já se foi tão cedo tão jovem tanta vida ainda pra viver tanto talento ainda pra mostrar.
This is so cool
Saw him twice. Great shows. Great band.
