A sober Stevie Ray Vaughan was simply a monster player... just incredible.. Most people could never play Rude Mood on an electric, much less an acustic, but on a 12 String it just multiplies the difficulty.
Thank you for bringing this today Sohum👌‼️. This was filmed in the MTV Unplugged Television Studio. The story goes he borrowed a 12 string from someone to do this as he was catching a plane right after taping. The owner discovered that Stevie's monster hands had cracked the neck! A restaurant offered to buy the guitar so they could display it. I forget the name of the restaurant but it still hangs there. The owner has since regretted selling it as it is worth so much more now. There were several other guitarists to perform so all the songs were shorter for everyone. There are really amazing great players in the world today no doubt. But for absolute technical perfection with soul and passion for days with a variety of styles and genres and many other arrows in his quiver no one compares to him imho. ✌️🎶
A 12-string guitar is generally considered significantly harder to play than a 6-string guitar, mainly due to the increased string tension, requiring more finger strength and precision to properly fret chords and notes. A 12-string guitar produces a fuller, brighter, and more " shimmering" sound compared to a 6-string guitar due to the doubled strings. Hope that helps! Great reaction to a timeless performance by the master!
Stevie truly was one of a kind. He famously played 13 gauge strings on electric. I wonder if it was the same on acoustic. 13s on a 12-string acoustic sounds extra insane. You really need to hear his cover of Hendrix's Little Wing. The studio version is absolutely unbelievable.
You should check out the video titled sound check where he is wearing a leopard coat and remember it is just a sound check he plays rude mood and ain’t gonna give up on love also say what I think you will enjoy it

SRV!! WOOOOOO 🎸🎸
Stevie is the man 😎
Joe Satriani was the other guest on that MTV episode. When following SRV he honestly looked a bit lost.

YES!!! Wholeheartedly second this.
I also sound nothing like Stevie, but I keep trying. I saw him once in San Jose a couple months before he was taken from us. The Goat.
