Stevie didn't "Play" Guitar, he possessed it. He never played a song the same way twice, the music just flowed from his soul to his hands.
This!
Someone said, "Stevie didn't plug his guitar into an amp, he plugged it into is soul."
#truth
He poured his soul through the guitar , he was also the Bruce Lee of guitar.
The guitar was an extension of Him ...
Stevie Ray could make that guitar sing and he could make it cry. Both in front, or behind his back. The GOAT
BB king said "I thought I knew everything about blues until this skinny kid from Texas started playin" High praise from the Man himself.
I'm 49, and I'll never forget the day we lost Stevie Ray Vaughn to that crash. I was only 16 and absolutely gutted because it was his solo on David Bowie's "Let's Dance" that introduced us to this talent, and he single handedly brought the Blues back to the mainstream. Every blues artist -- every single one -- saw a surge in record sales after Stevie blew up. His rising tide lifted everybody's boat and as much as people flocked to him, they also flocked to JJ Cale, BB King, Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson. The dude was just pure fire, and we lost him a year before we lost Freddie Mercury of Queen. And most people don't know this but Stevie played with the heaviest guage strings all his life and suffered from it. His finger strength is sick and he bend those strings like nothing. He's unparalleled. ❤
I was 17 when Stevie passed. I used to take the bus to school with my best friend, Laurie, who'd been playing guitar since she was 12. She was a huge fan of Stevie's. I remember waiting for her at the bus stop one morning, and when I saw her coming up the street I realized she was crying. She had just learned about Stevie's death on the radio. I'll never forget that day.
I remember that day as well. I was driving in my car and had to pull over. I was 19 and devastated.
i was also 16 and still remember hearing it on the radio like it was yesterday,a true Legend
Almost 48 here and I do still remember the news and telling my dad.
Stevie sadly passed in a helicopter crash just 7 years into his mainstream career. He is usually always in the top 10 guitarist conversation.which is extremely impressive for such a short career. He was a once in a lifetime guitarist and overall, a kind soul. He used to play upwards of 16 hours a day, and superglue is fingers back together when they started bleeding! He also played some of the heaviest guitar strings available, which isn't that crazy to a non guitarist, but to a guitarist, it is absolutely incredible the way he bent them. And, the craziest of all from a guitarist standpoint is that he knew hardly any music theory... The solos you heard coming from the guitar were different every time and entirely made up on the spot every time without any music theory to guide him. He is very impressive to a non guitarist, but to a guitarist, it almost makes no damn sense how he was so good. Guitarists have always tried to replicate Stevie's playing ever since he popped out of the Texas blues scene, and no one, and I mean NO ONE, has ever replicated his playing. There is something in his fingers that only a very few amount of humans have ever had, and whatever it is, it is not an aquired skill you're born with it. If Stevie had not sadly passed so early into his career... Everyone would know the name Stevie Ray Vaughan..... Next reaction has to be "Texas Flood" it is by far his most impressive performance.
Absolutely...straight from his soul, into and through his fingers.
for skill he's top 3 for me.. He played mainly blues and southern rock but don't think the guy couldn't shred some metal or classic rock riffs the guy was special
You speak the truth and nothing but the truth thank you you feel alone at times on my fandom of SRV⚡⚡👍👍
Played 13 gauge strings
It makes sense when you realize that Stevie was the epitomy of what it means to be a musician. Immersed in his art, he managed to make that connection between his heart, what he was feeling and all of the wonderful notes that mirrored that connection. I miss him.
“Texas Flood” from live at the El Mocambo is the finest, most raw, and mind blowing blues performance ever recorded live. There's are hundreds of reaction videos on it. If you don't do a video on it, at least watch it. Its superhuman.
Indeed🤯
It is required viewing. Non-negotiable.
And the other song he plays at the El mocambo is just as mind-blowing is called third Stone from the Sun! Actually every song on that live concert is mind-blowing
You aren't wrong. Love to see the look on people's faces when he puts that guitar behind his back and never misses a beat
I was blessed to see him in concert.
We used to visit an authentic blues bar in the Mississippi Delta, when living in Memphis.If was literally a 60 year old shack with amazing food and blues. Yes, Mabel played the piano on Thursday nights (for those that understand the reference.) One Thursday night, only about 12 people were there. It only held about 30, ( long before casinos ruined the place.) About six were with me when Stevie Ray Vaughan and Billy Gibbons wandered in. SRV had a concert in Jackson MS the next night and ZZ Top in Little Rock, so appropriate quiet place to meet. Miss Mabel waited until they had eaten and visited, when she requested they join her. They went to their vehicles and retrieved guitars and treated us to 2 hours of magic of watching masters play out of pure joy and thrilling a bar blues pianist in her 80's. God I miss the old Hollywood Cafe. The new one lacks a soul.
For a reference, listen to "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn. Heaven.
@@melaniedeare5427 You got the Mabel played the piano reference.
What an experience. 🎶🎵🎶🎵
The famous "Mabel" played the piano, down on Union Avenue...? Walking in Memphis. by Marc Cohn. I cry a little bit every time I hear that song. So much great music came out of that area. I do miss it.
@@melaniedeare5427 That’s it!
Remember, this was only a three-piece band. Guitar, bass, & drums. So every time you think you hear a rhythm guitar backing Stevie, it was the bass player hitting the higher range, then dropping back to the low notes for bass. Awesome trio of musicians.
Stevie covered several Hendrix songs, but not ever trying to duplicate Hendrix. Stevie put his own spin on everything.
Speaking as a guitarist, Stevie was indeed shredding.
As much as I hate the term shredding yes Stevie was shredding. I just hate how people think players who shred are great players when really shredding leaves much more room for error without it ever being noticed. Stevie is the GOAT and he always went Beast Mode on his equipment.
@@agordon7369 I think it's distortion that can disguise errors whether shredding or not. Clean shredding is not able to disguise sloppy playing.
@@ChrisLawton66 yeah I can see your point thinking about players like Satriani and Vai both are very clean and can absolutely destroy a guitar.
NO. He wasn't "shredding." He was FAR from "shredding"...which is just a technique. Charlatans "shred."
SRV can never be guilty of "shredding"...it's an insult. SRV didn't play the guitar....he RODE it!
No insult to you....just sayin'.
@@Wooly564 no insult taken, but you're wrong. No big deal. Millions of people are wrong each day. You're simply one of many. Also "charlatans"? 😂😂😂😂
Stevie was as humble as he was talented. He did several Hendrix songs due to his love for Jimi. Stevie was a Texas Bluesman at heart, and you have to check him out doing the Blues. Let me recommend a few for you. “Texas Flood” from El Mocambo, “Tin Pan Alley” with Johnny Copeland from Montreux 1985, and “Mary Had a Little Lamb” from this same concert, Austin, 1989. Put on your seatbelt!
Also, watch "Austin City Limits"! The song "Tightrope"
Stevie almost refused to go onstage when he found out the BB King was his opening act. From then on he made damn sure that the blues guitarist he considered his idols were never given 2nd best.
Dude, Icon or Legend doesn’t even begin to describe SRV. He’s THE G.O.A.T. Period.
Long live Texas
RIP Stevie!
The only people who say that never saw Hendrix live.
SRV was a guitar magician. Thick-ass 13 gauge strings, played lead, rhythm and bass at the same time. Rest in Peace, Stevie, and thank you for all the amazing music.
He did generally tune down a half step (which helped to not tear up necks, also a tuning Hendrix used). Also someone mentioned he had 18s on one of his touring guitars (probably for baritone tuning)
13-gauge strings with high action. Bro was a menace to society.
SRV is not just the greatest guitarist, but the greatest Blues guitarist ever...and that was coming straight from B.B. King.
Albert King had some profound statements concerning him as well.
When the King says it it is final.
And Jimmy said Rory was
@@tatesmith6888 Albert King said SRV was better than Hendrix. Damn…..that says it all.
@@MusicMan1965to be fair Albert King hated Hendrix personally
Stevie was killed in a helicopter crash 10 months after this concert at the age of 35. He was also the first white person to be inducted to the blues Hall of Fame. He received a Grammy, he played at Carnegie Hall and he played for the 1989 Presidential Inauguration. If you want to get to know Stevie Ray Vaughan first check out his performance of Texas Flood at El mocambo. His best songs that he wrote our Life Without You 1985 Capitol Theater, Riviera Paradise and Lenny. He was sober 4 years before his death and he and his brother Jimmie Vaughan of The Fabulous Thunderbirds recorded an album together called Family Style. Jimmy released it 1 month after his death. We love him and miss him so much even after 33 years. RIP💔 SRV🎸
Im 61 and was raised on guitar driven music. In my youth there was Chet Atkins Roy Clark Glen Campbell Jerry Reed. These were masterful guitarists. But they didn't rock. THEN CAME JIMMY....BUT THEN CAME STEVIE....HES without argument one of if not THE GOAT. !! IM familiar with every decades guitarists since the 70's. Yes it's Hendtix song. Stevie is right up there with a Jimmie. RIP
He's one of those guys where in a 3 man band he gets 100% of the attention, and rightfully so but Double Trouble (the other guys) were exceptional musician themselves.
Absolutely Double Trouble were the anchor points for Stevie to kay it down.
I struggle to think of another 3 piece band that made a similar impact. 3 people sound as full as a 5 piece band.
And anticipating Stevie taking a longer modified solo? Dude that takes chemistry for the other 2 dudes to know whats up and keep everything timed.
The man jammed so hard he carried super glue to fill where he shredded his fingertips so he can keep going..strings thick as hell
You just witnessed the GOAT of guitar playing
Came here to say this! THEE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!
So Hendricks copied him?
Undeniably
I can't believe the Rapper Reacting (black I presume,and some sort of music maker didn't Realize this was a Jimmy H cover. Thing is, of all the artists covering or being covered, my personal preference for this version is that it is actually a slight bit better than the original creator snd and performer of this song. I rarely feel this way
They both died to young Jimmy. And Stevie.
SRV is top 5 most legendary guitarists ever. RIP, he died in a freak helicopter accident. Voodoo child is a cover did from Jimi Hendrix. Stevie is known for playing very heavy gauge strings that would tear apart a normal man's fingers. It's part of how he hot his amazing tone.
also brutal on guitars.. 13 gauge sets tend to warp the necks of guitars unless tuned down (the few that try to mimick srv in every way tend to detune their guitars when not playing them to avoid neck damage)
Stevie actually had to super glue his finger tips down before
SRV, EVH, Jeff Beck, Jimi, Prince... My top 5
This is close to, if not, one of HIS BEST, and THE BEST performances of Voodoo Child ever. EVER. Countless musicians have said it.
Most all top guitarist of the world praised him as being one of the best. This coming from the guys he studied as a kid, Eric Clapton, BB King ,Jeff Beck. As a teen he would hang out at the kuke joints and watch and learn from the bleus greats...He just got on stage with Albert King once ,as a teen, and asked if could play with the band. They were blown away at his abilitiy as how young he was. He died in a copter crash after one of his concerts with some of Claptons crew members. He was hugely influenced by Hendrix whose song this is" Voodoo Child"...made it his own with elements of Jimi of course...one of his best live performances in my opinion...RIP
Whether he had the potential in his blood, or made a deal at the crossroads with Old Scratch himself, there is no denying the overwhelming skill.
Only people who have seen crossroads with Ralph maccio(the original karate kid)dueling Steve Vai will get that legba reference. good one
@@davidyeo8731 unless they know about Tommy Johnson.
@@tonymorrell2353 Robert Johnson "Crossroads Blues"
@@scottnakasone5801 naw. Tommy Johnson claimed it first.
@@tonymorrell2353 yeah and their not related to each other kind of crazy. They used Tommy's story in oh brother where art thou with George Clooney
Die hard Stevie fan. He almost never plays with eyes open. Just flows through him.
YES
I beg to differ. I saw him live in London shortly before he died. At one point, he looked up at the sky. Then when his head came down he opened his eyes, but his eyeballs were still skyward, rolling back in his head, so all you could see were the whites of his eyes. It was one of the most spooky things I've ever seen, and I've yet to find an instance of him doing that on camera!
That’s what Clapton said…an open channel.
"Stevie was an endless, open channel that music just poured out of. He made people who'd never touched a guitar in their life want to pick one up and start playing, and he made those of us who'd played with him live onstage before want to quit."........Eric Clapton.
I remember when srv first broke into the main stream. As a kid just learning guitar my friends and I listened to metal. We followed the shredders like Vai, Van Halen, Malmstein, Lee, Rhodes,etc. SRV opened up a new world to us. I started to listen to the blues greats like Buddy Guy, Johnny Copland, Albert King, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, and Albert Collins. I cried the day SRV died.
Stevey Ray Vaughan is an absolute legend. Between him and Jimi Hendrix I dunno who was a better guitarist at that time. But as far as SRV is concerned, check out Pride and Joy, and Texas Flood. Or any of his legendary solos he's done.
Don't forget Lenny, absolutely gorgeous song.
SRV all day. Jimmy more innovative
Jimi was a better innovator and a better songwriter. SRV was the better pure blues rock guitarist.
I saw him from the front row 2 weeks before he died. His sweat dripping all over me I was so close. I had dreamed of seeing him live for 5 years. I'm still not over it. Rest in Paradise, King Stevie. Thanks for checking out the pride of Texas. You just watched one of the best Texas blues guitarist of all time.
My wife and I were at the Saturday concert at Alpine Valley the day before he died. We'll never see anyone like him again.
He was clean and sober for the last few years of his life, and he mentored many of friends and family. He was a good person, even before he was clean. He was all around amazing.
Hands down my personal favorite guitarist of all time. He played with so much heart, so much soul and so much felling. He didnt play music, it flowed from every fiber of his being.
VERY well said!
That’s probably the most valuable guitar on the planet. I’m pretty sure his brother has it.
Yes Jimmie has number one.
The absolute GOAT!!! RIP SRV!!! Thanks for the video reaction!
August 27, 1990, a day I will never forget. The day that Texas music died. Stevie Ray Vaughan was from Dallas, Texas. He died in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin. His passing is one of the most devastating losses for me, but truly for tens of thousands of people across the country.
I cried for hours.😢
SRV is in RocknRoll Hall of Fame and Blues Hall of Fame . Stevie was influence artists like Hendrix , Albert King , BB King , Eric Clapton and others . One of top guitarists in the world many say he is the GOAT . Always try to watch live videos of him , seeing him preform is part of the experience . His hand speed and perfection is amazing . One of the top SRVs video is a sound check , name another guitarist who has a concert sound check that people compare to others actual concerts . One of a kind musician period .
His live performance of pride n joy is a classic
His brother said Stevie always played the guitar with the intensity of a hurricane , every song was a solo
I met Stevie Ray after his soundcheck at the Grand Ole Opry House. I was shocked at how short he was! He was extremely nice and humble. He died in a helicopter crash later that same year. In 1999, I played my guitar through his custom Soldano amplifier that he was using on that same tour. It still had a cigarette burn on the top of the amp from Stevie Ray. Legend. ❤
Texas Flood live at El Mukumbo. Stevie Ray Vaughn will blow your mind.
Guitar behind his back! So smoothly slings it around. Its as if the audience doesn't even REALIZE!😂
El Mukumbo.... friggin classic... Rest In Power SRV
When Eric Clapton first heard Stevie Ray Vaughan on a car radio, he had to pull over to the side of the road just to hear him play.
SRV is probably the greatest BLUES guitarist to ever walk this earth!!
Notice I didn't just say guitarist. There's different kinds of guitars and guitarists .. 6 string .. 12 string .. electric .. acoustic ... And genres/style playing .. Country .. classical .. pop .. rock .. Latin .. jazz .. and of course BLUES. Stevie was BLUES. He loved Jimi Hendrix {who was his biggest inspiration to play blues guitar}.. Albert King .. BB King .. Johnny Copeland .. Muddy Waters .. Buddy Guy and many more. SRV had enough respect and prop's to give to each of these legends whenever he was around them on stage or otherwise. Blues, rock and jazz {read he liked jazz too!] is what Stevie 'cut his teeth on' growing up as a child. He is self-taught. Can't read music at all.
He is also filled with ridiculous, crazy-ass talent and skill! When God was dishing out 'talent', HE 'Doubled and Super-sized' Stevie's portion.
"Voodoo Chile" was written by Jimi Hendrix and recorded in 1968 for his {Hendrix} third album #Electric Lady Land. Jimi's version is a little rough around the edges and full of distortion. Records were produced w/mono analog recording equipment and sound boards but never lacked in clarity. The different tones of guitar distortion came from Jimi personally. Labeled a creative genius, Hendrix is considered the Granddaddy of re-introducing and infusing 'distortion' into rock music back then. Jimi will always be the OG of "Voodoo Chile" in '68 but Stevie was able to clean & polish it up and making "Voodoo Chile" one of his signature songs in 1984. Hendrix was left-handed but played right handed. he also self-taught on guitar. He couldn't read music. He would have the ct {the guitar neck faced the right} and the strings we're also wired opposite with the bass wire first on top, down to the 6th and thinnest wire. SRV also recorded 3 other Hendrix songs : 'Manic Depression', 'Little Wing' and 'Third Stone from the Sun'. However, like a young man asking a father for his daughters hand in marriage, he got in touch with Jimi's father first and asked his permission before playing/recording his sons music. Now that's respect. A true class act.
#Black Pegasus .. When you said Stevie was "some sort of a legend" because of the viewer numbers he holds .. That is a understatement. The label 'legend' is appropriate but spoken mildly.
Except for the 'Man upstairs', many of adoring fans look upon SRV as a God unlike any other God they have ever read about. You will see what I'm talking about if you continue down the rabbit hole. There shouldn't be any reason why ya wouldn't after you watch this video.
I highly recommend that you react to "Texas Flood" .. "Third Stone From the Sun" .. "Little Wing" and "Lenny" LIVE at the El Mocambo. "Life Without You" .. "Couldn't Stand the Weather" LIVE at the Capital Theater. Stevie wrote "Life Without You" for his guitar maker and good friend, Charlie who had died unexpectedly from heart failure/or heart attack. I guarantee that you will be hit with a tsunami of suggestions suggesting these three songs. All his videos are good. You will never hear any song played the same way twice.
Another reason why he is so beloved and adored is because we lost Stevie at the tender age of 35 in a freak helicopter crash on August 27, 1990 at the Alpine Valley Music Theater, East Troy, Wisconsin. It was 12:50 am, on a Monday morning. SRV, along with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and older brother, Jimmy [by 3 years] had wrapped up a two-day blues festival, with a 20+ minute jam session at the end.
Stevie Ray and a couple members of Clapton's entourage boarded a helicopter heading to Midway International Airport in Chicago. Weather conditions we're foggy and visibility was under 2 miles. Don't forget this venue was in a valley. Two other helicopters had departed the venue prior to the third one that Vaughan was on. As the pilot lifted off, he remained low in altitude {Why?? .. Only the pilot could answer that question} and then turned southeasterly flying towards higher terrain. About 3/5 of a mile from take off, the helicopter at high velocity speed, crashed head on into the side of a man-made ski hill. Jeff Brown /pilot .. Bobby Brooks/agent .. Niguel Browne/bodyguard .. Colin Smythe/tour manager and Stevie Ray Vaughan we're on board. The coroner's report stated that all 5, including the pilot, died instantly from severe head trauma/internal injuries.
Even though the toxicology tests came back negative for all 5 people, the FAA stated that the pilot was experienced/qualified to fly planes with instrument panels but not helicopters at the time of the crash.
RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan 🎸
Thank you, I'm having one of the hardest days of my life n watching u react n appreciate this just made my day brighter 💗
that’s great! Hope you’re day brightens up 🙌🏽
Hey… you might not know much about guitar, but doesn’t this guy make you wish you could rock one? Hell yes!
absolutely 💯
Saw him live not long before he passed, absolutely brilliant!
Your definitely blessed.
@@thor8580 absolutely! Saw him when he toured New Zealand in '89.
If I recall correctly the riff was used as pro wrestlers enterd the arena ... WWE or one of the tv wrestling iterations. And yes its a coverr of Hendrix's song. He was an idol of SRV's ... the wahwah pedal he uses here originally belonged to Hendrix..Stevie having acquired it from the Hendrix family.
I was at last concert at Alpine Valley. I was 18 and my mind was blown! The next day when I heard he passed I bawled like a baby. RIP Stevie Ray!
You'll be SO glad you went down this rabbit hole! Thanks for the fabulous reaction! Any time you can watch him Live, watch THAT version..
I highly recommend:
Texas Flood Live at the El Mocambo; Look At Little Sister Live in Austin (breaks a string & smoothest guitar swap Ever - if you didn't see it you would never know); Life Without You (SRV wrote it for his dear friend Charlie Wirtz who passed away suddenly & always talks to the audience with a heartfelt message on this song)and Lenny (written for his wife) Live at the Capital Theater; Tin Pan Alley live with Johnny Copeland; Sessions with Albert King - Don't Lie To Me, The Blues At Sunrise & Born Under A Bad Sign. Anything you listen to of his will be FIRE though, hands down.
R.I.P. Stevie. GOAT of Texas Blues Rock Guitar - The Guitar GOAT if you ask me.
It is impressive that people who have only been into one or two genres of music, start trying to learn new ones and seem to appreciate it as well x
Buddy Guy, BB King, Albert King ALL said the music and sound just poured out of him
It was soo beautiful to watch SRV playing with these greats and they just look at him like, welcome my son!!!
I'm watching this video, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
It puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day!
Isn't it sad that the greatest ones are gone, JIMI HENDRIX,
Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Buddy Holly, Elvis and more.
Yes, unfortunately humans don’t live forever. But at least they can be remembered solemnly by their music and literally be ‘alive’ forever because of it.
You MUST react to SRV Live at El Macombo!!!!! Texas Flood or Little Wing are classic must see's !!
Absolutely!
I'm 64 and have been a SRV fan since he and his brother played together. A long time. Your reaction was very spot on. I listen to Stevie often, some at work might say obsessively. It would be an understatement to say I miss him.
You can feel this mans heart and soul through those guitars. Your journey with SRV will not disappoint. He's, IMO, the guitar mans' guitar man. Here's a tid bit. He played so much and so hard that before shows he'd fill the holes in his fingers of the neck hand, left hand in this case, with superglue. Guitar players develop callouses on their finger tips from constant play and practice, his would rip off.
i like to tell everyone that watches this video to watch Stevies right picking hand and watch how many times he switches the pickup selector and the tone/volume knobs. He does it so fast that you dont see it unless youre watching that specifically
SRV is usually in the top 5 or top 10 of any “top guitar player” magazine lists (not that those lists matter). Thanks for covering this. Watch the Jimi Hendrix “Voodoo Chile” Live in Maui video. You’ll love it and see the origins of it. Also watch the scene from Black Hawk Down where they play the SRV version. That’s some serious war music. SRV was too cool. Texas Blues/Rock.
Whoever told you not to call this shredding is a complete FOOOL. This is shredding at its peak lol
Now you are venturing into the things I grew up on! There are definetly rock musicians out there that will blow your mind away!!
SRV is more than a legend. He is argueably the best to ever play a guitar! Check out his track called Texas flood live or his Life Without You live also and your jaw wil drop even further! -without spoiling too much I'll say he plays just as good behind his back!
Bonus info. He called his favourite guitar First Wife or Number One. LOL
p.s Voodoo Child is a Jimi Hendrix cover. SRV was a huge hendrix fan. and was able to play his songs allmost even better filling in crazy riffs...
David Gilmour & Mark knopfler
@@kingscairn definetly goats too!
Pink floyd was my first love when I was a young teenager.. i used to collect LPs and have everything they ever released plus lots of bootlegs!
He also does Jimmy's "little wing"... absolutely incredible
Stevie will always be the GOAT. Rest easy Stevie.
This react is insane! I’m from Texas, SRV is one of our highest treasures! It just goes to show you how many people truly have no idea what kind of amazing music is out there because they’ve never been exposed to anything outside of their bubble. My Mom listened to SRV non stop so I grew up on it. Also, I went to a concert in Austin, TX at like 12 years old or so and watched him play behind his back, behind his head, and okay with his teeth.
The coolest and most unique thing about Stevie is, he never plays any song the same way twice. Go ahead, look up all the different Voodoo Chile videos he has. Every single one of them is different. Stevie is the worlds greatest guitar improviser.
A number of top musicians preform similarly ( never the same) because they are extremely competent artist
That is absolutely not true. SRV was great but far from the greatest improvisors. It's blues which is never note for note the same but SRV always played the same fast licks whereas Jimi Hendrix really really improvised and changed songs completely and took musical adventures. No comparison, not even close.
@@hesch-tag BB King said, in a nutshell "All great musicians can improvise, but after awhile the well runs dry and we have to pause for a little bit to think. It was different with Stevie. His well never ran dry. He could impovise endlessly".
@@donovantaylor5707 Well in that case I don't agree with BB King. Listen to Stone free live at the Royal Albert Hall '69. Now that is improvising. Jimi created whole new songs. Improvising in blues is not that hard . Staying fresh is another story. SRV impressed certain people so much that they forget that he always stayed in the same lane. Give me a few examples where SRV really improvised without just rehashing fast licks on a different part of the neck. It might change my mind. People always go on about his version of Texas flood but it is so repetitive and predictable, it drives me crazy. Most people are just too impressed because he plays the same fast licks behind his back. Though very impressive, in the end it is just a trick to entertain the audience, just like Jimi did with his teeth (musically it doesn't add anything). SRV was great but he was not a great improvisor, no matter what his peers and friends claimed. I am open to taking back my words if you can come up with great examples.
@@hesch-tag its difficult to take you seriously when you rave about Hendrix like that. Hendrix was influential, but he was a very sloppy player. Hendrix is a bum version of SRV.
Stevie played 13 gauge strings, which are really heavy and hard to bend. Most guitarists us 9 or 10 gauge, some use 11 gauge, and Malcolm Young of AC/DC uses 12 gauge. Nobody else among the top guitarists use 13s. And he bends the hell out of them. Massive power in his fingers.
If you can throw vibrato into bends on a 12 gauge G string, you have strength.
If you can do it with 13s ..... your fingers are made from tiny little Chuck Norrises
SRV is THE LEGEND of guitar, blues and rock n roll...nothing will beat him.
He tore that guitar up🤠. You should hear “pride and joy”👍
SRV always in top 5 Best Guitarist af all time......
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but Texas Flood live at El Mocambo is a must. Having lived in Austin during the 80s and 90s I saw him 8 times, more than any other act.
You just watched a blues/rock masterpiece performed by a one of a kind master of the blues.
SRV isn't just legend: he's an expression of what humanity was created for.
Greatest guitarist of all time! Pure genius.... it's such a shame he passed so young the world needs him now! There's nobody like him
Trump2024
He's playing lead, rhythm,and bass, all at once.
Jeff Healey, "Can you see the light?"
You have to go down the Stevie Ray Vaughan SRV rabbit hole. There is no L with Stevie he was the GOAT for sure.
Stevie's best performance of this is on Live at the El Mocambo. That whole show is the best of all his work. He truly Channeled music through the conduit of his soul through his fingers to the instrument. May he live eternally and rest in peace!
When Stevie is playing it’s called “God Mode”.
Texas Flood. It will show you why he is the guitar God!
I think you need to react to a original by SRV
It totally is an amazing cover though
Love your show. SRVaughn was a favorite of one of my best friends. He would listen to that guitar right up in the speaker. Probably couldn't hear well later, but I admired the enthusiasm
Stevie was a Singularity, he channeled some divine power into his vintage Fender Stratocaster with the thickest strings available and the world was never the same. Still miss him.
Yes it’s a cover but he is ranked as one of the best guitarist of all time . He died in a air crash . True legend 👏👏👏
Straight up if you react to Texas Flood Live you’re gonna be speechless
Make sure it is the performance from Live at the El Mocambo in 1983
@@mookie7688 Frls that’s my favorite
He played with Albert King,B.B. King, they were good friends and mentors in SVR's life. SVR is the best ever. Years after his untimely death he is still considered one of the best guitar players ever. ❤
SRV had a talent, in my humble opinion as a musician, that was 2nd to none. It wasn't just his skills on the guitar, it was his ability overall. Easily one of the most gifted, well rounded performers of ALL time. R.I.P. to a Texas legend from a humble son of Texas.
Just do every song from this live performance. You will be amazed. He was on fire...
Ah, I meant every song from Live at the El Mocambo.
He's tearin it up. Stevie was the absolute Legend of Blues. It was just about dieing out before he came out and turned blues on it's head. Blues is down in the soul.
The foot petal SRV uses was given to him by the Hendrix family. My first introduction to SRV was him playing 3 songs in a small bar in downtown Austin Texas in 1982 - wow
Stevie Ray doesn't have a bad song , he shreds that guitar , he rips that guitar , he makes that guitar come alive ! Definitely a guitar god !!
The smoothest guitar swap during a song was done by SRV & his stage hand. He was playing “Look At Little Sister” on Austin City Limits in 1989. He broke a string. His stage hand brings him a fresh guitar and mid playing he swaps guitars and NEVER MISSES A BEAT!!! I strongly recommend checking it out. It’s absolutely masterful. If you had your eyes closed you would never know anything happened.
My personal SRV fav is Pride and Joy. He was beyond talented. 🎸
you say you don't know much about playing a guitar doesn't matter you can appreciate the natural talent of a guitar god who was taken way too early. SRV is amazing to watch, to hear. The guitar and Stevie become one...
Stevie will always be the Greatest blues guitarists of all time! There will never be anyone greater
And remember this is live, not filter no bs all just the band and him playing. Love the channel and thanks for trying to get all these songs to the next generation. 🔥😁
Stevie was so great. I saw him live before he became so famous and got my mind totally blown. It was like an enlightenment.
Welcome to my world lol
And, yes, this is a Jimi Hendrix cover. Good call. Jimi was a huge inspiration to Stevie. In fact, Stevie is playing this song using Jimi’s old wah pedal
It's fun watching people see SRV for the first time !
Stevie Ray Von and Jimmy Hendrix are in a class of their own.
top 3 of all time ever!!! he is a ICON
I remember going to Party on the Plaza and drinking beer with The Vaughn Brothers. Stevie and Jimmy were very down to Earth and never copped attitudes when talking to the fans. Taken from us waaaaay too soon. I miss you old friend.
Man, He was a legend --- I loved him while he was with us-- and cried hearing he had passed -
SRV transcends cool......He is a legend and if any mortal was able to see this guitar god.....well you have been blessed.
I was blessed to see SRV after he was clean, before he passed. It was more like watching Gods own hand coming through. I’ll never forget it.
a legendary GOAT guitarist - always in Top 10's of guitar players - Died was too soon!!! His brother still preforms!!
The Guitar Goat Steve Ray Vaughan. He was finally happy and clean when he died my heart broke.
Only one of the best guitarists and blues artists of all time.
Thanks for sharing.
Those gold rings you saw were actually sobriety coins that Stevie had custom made into a ring for each hand. He was clean and sober at the end of his life, and took it very seriously.
Somebody teach this young brother, excellence on available in every genre. Stevie was a beast ❤❤❤
