you know what i hate in this world? is that its scarce to recognize this man as a role model. people say, "Well he was a drug abuser so hes not good role model." BULLSHIT!This man is the perfect example of a role model.A role model shouldnt be considered as someone who is perfect, but someone who is flawed but then counteracts those imperfections by doing something about them.Yes he was a drug user, but he was able to break the addiction which is why hes the perfect role model for anybody
He is a role model because he was able to go to the depths of hell and come back clean and sober. Watching someone rise through that type of adversity shows that anyone can get sober…. That’s what a role model and inspiration. He went to manny AA meetings talked to countless people about addiction.
Stevie was a flawed human, like we all are… he had a big heart and cared about so many people, and could sing through his guitar like nobody’s business!!
Willie Nelson used to have the Austin Opery House. There was Music Lane, where musicians would rent space. I watched Stevie practice for years. I was backstage at the Armadillo World Headquarters when Stevie got Tommy Shannon to quit playing with Johnny Winter to play with him. Starting Double Trouble. Stevie was my friend
@@blunewhouse7528 Thanks for sharing this amazing history lesson about Stevie Ray, just wow! I LOVE his playing-singing and SO wish he’d been on my radar back then as he played Tulsa, OK many times. Have been partying and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the live bands on 6th Street - Austin, a long time ago! 🎉
Before the concert began,there were several southern state flags (rebel flag)among the audience.Stevie went on the tendon, and refused to play, until all the rebel flags w......as gone. I'm from... texsas, but I'm not a rasist, he said and left tendon. 5 minutes later was all rebel flags away, and Stevie kick started the best concert I have ever experienced Vis mere Vis mere
The thing about Stevie, is that he was never arrogant to think he was the best. He high respect for the former/older bluesmen. This is why he is great.
You're exactly right. Just read what he said about Jimi and it all makes sense. We are the culmination of our influences and heroes. If we play too, someone somewhere feels that way about you.
I was on a Riverboat called the president going down to Mississippi listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan and his brother The Fabulous Thunderbirds best concert ever seen
Born and raised in New Orleans memories of the warehouse and also my friend going down the river with Stevie Ray Vaughan on the President held to the yell.Take it to the grave
While you are listening to this song, or any with SRV. Stop the video, preferably just after a solo. Then think for a moment, this man was real. All that talent, all that raw blues power, all that awesome. This is not fictional, it's real... *mind exploding here*
I watch Stevie Ray Vaughan, every day! He was a brilliant performer, and he was a special talent that never will be again. People try to play like Stevie Ray, but they can not attain his talent. It's a fact!
There will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan. He can not be copied...ever. SRV, is beloved by so many of us. Hopefully those who haven't had the privilege of discovering the"Blues" just yet, will be turned on to it. It's a wonderful genre. SRV revived the Blue's, and made it come back to life. All in all, he put his own stamp on it. His own interpretation of it. A sort of, Blue's Rockin Jazz. Watching him play live is such a gift. 🌟 Many "Bluesmen" came before Stevie, and he had such an appreciation for them. If I could speak to Stevie today, I would thank him for having such a humble spirit. His music lives on.
God wanted people to show the world that addictions and temptations aren't impossible to overcome, but are adversities in which people must face in the world. He showed the world with this man who I have never met or was even alive when he was but will always admire and respect him.
I think that often, when Stevie would of heard drummers that could keep up with the notes he plays on double kick, it would of opened up whole new levels.
What a rip off when he died .Finally got off the drugs and was smoking audiences . Most incredible guitarist I ever saw live in concert . Still blows me away like it was yesterday . Would have still been blowing us all away 20+ years later . No one like him before or since . RIP SRV loved you then and now .
Doesn't matter what Stevie would say because we know how generous and humble he was. Stevie stated that Jimmy Vaughan was better than him. EVERYONE knows the real truth there. If you think Hendrix was better that's fine but, your comment holds no relevence in reality. Jimi was a true original gifted in creativity. SRV was gifted as an exceptional player with incredible tone and improvisational skills clearly surpassing most everyone that I can think of including Hendrix.
Willie the Wimp was buried today, They laid him to rest in a special way. Sent him off in the finest style That casket-mobile really drove 'em wild Southside Chicago will think of him often Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Best guitarist that I ever saw live in concert . Blew me away . Saw him in '87 I think at a small college up here in maine . Maybe 800 or 900 people at the most . was 10 feet from stage and was just blown away . Was his first stop on comeback tour after he cleaned up his act ( drugwise ) . And he was at the top of his game . We all got robbed bigtime when he left us Thanks for the music SRV . Thanks for posting this gaukur . Thanks for the flashback . It means a lot to me .
About SRV. Saw him early in his career, about 200 showed up in a place that would seat 2000. After a couple of songs, he looked out at us, sat on the edge of the stage, and said, "There aren't many of us, but there's enough." He then sat there for the next 20 minutes and blew the top of my head off. Needless to say, will forever be a fan. Amazing talent - certainly would gave stayed a alternative to the sad current pop strain.
He knew the one true lesson about live music. What the audience feels and how the performer feels back. I remember playing to 4 people. .... They drove 80 miles in bad weather to hear us.... Stevie obviously knew that it ain't the number of people... it's their love of the music done with your personal signature on it. Great song - great bass great drum kick and pretty fair guitar dood.
@@terrylodercreative Thanks. Notification of your reply brought me back here on a particularly scattered morning, and it was just what I needed. Good to get re-grounded once in a while.
@@dalebuckley8593 Glad you felt something positive at the right time. Often, it's the music, sometimes it's the way we express what it's like to share it with the world.
SRV's playing was magical. So effortless that he just thought about the music and it would flow out. Practiced to the point that the music was just a part of him. He simply looks naked without his guitar. Never lost on the fretboard. Always the precise note. No need to look at the strings. Who today is working that hard for their music?
10s of thousands in the audience should be a testament to what Stevie Ray had on the influence on modern blues rock. There is nothing like live music. I sure wish I could have been there. What a voice,
Stevie was sober the last 4 years of his life Adrian. He did realize that drugs and alcohol were bad for him and he did something about it. RIP SRV, your music will always live on. I hope you and Jimi are having some great jam sessions together.
I still play some SRV privately to my own recorded backing tracks. I always feel good about it. Then I play his version and shake my head. I belong in the basement. ha What makes it worse is I'm more the vocalist but I play the guitar myself. A bit like a puppy barkin at a pit bull.
Totaly agree. Possibly ,if not the greatest, the most enthusiastic player you could hope to see. This is heart and soul playing. 'Tune low, Play hard and floor it'
“South Side Chicago will think of him often, talking bout Willy The Wimp & his Cadillac Coffin” 1 of my personal top 10 favorite classic rock songs! Just a great beat, melody, lyrics & story all wrapped into 1
I feel privileged that I got to see him do this song in concert. he was a level above anyone else. he would whip the crowd into a frenzy, mellow us out and send us home. I believe he was honestly concerned for our safety and sent us on our way not screaming and crazy but relaxed. he had that much control over the crowed. I saw him five times and they were the five best shows of my life. no one else is/ was even close.
I saw him 3 times- 2 on Beal Street pop-in plays( dive bars) and once at mud island. I was 19 years old! His talent was way ahead of his time! Damn, wish I would have had a smartphone in 88-89.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is alway's HOT! In every way possible! Ladies you know what I mean!!!!! This particular version of "Willie the Wimp," is his best ever, that I have found on u-tube. Not a single person, can be anymore passionate as he was on stage. He gave every single lick, on his instrument, with all that was in him! 👍❤️😎🙏
Yes he was heart stop skip beat so beautiful he made me feel his heart and soul I couldn’t see or hear him after he died brought so much pain he’s the only one who truly touched my heart ❤️
I sure DO know - EXACTLY what you mean! 🤩 I’m a southern lady with a slight drawl accent and Stevie’s voice - drives me mad -😍 he’s so dang sexy!!! And the way he strums those strings…
What is your favourite song or video mine is all of them but I don’t know why life without you hits so hard his raspy quiet voice on that is so sexy and change it
Still remember where I was when I heard of his death. I cried silently, took off my hard hat, and without another word, I left the job in Detroit I was working at as a contractor, and went home for the day to mourn. Terrible tragedy, unbelievable performer!
I was in Mpls on my roller skates in my apt after coming back from the Lake, my friend from Oklahoma was on the answering machine with the news. That night I went to the Minnesota State Fair and saw Jeff Healy and Bonnie Raitt.
Pete 👍great too hear the man and his music ment as much too others !! I was married and just got home from work and got the news on the radio i was crying uncontrollably in my car and my wife was like are you coming in and i couldn't stop crying See i play and respect how the man poured his soul into every note he played ,i believe no one can come even close too the GENIUS GOD REST YOUR SOUL STEVIE !!!!
Saw him the night before he died. I too was at work hanging 40 stories up on a scaffold. Had to get off at break time and go home. Was devastated. His soul was what put him above the rest in any genre. Over 30yrs and I still get choked up.
Remember Same Place I Was At When Heard !!! Summer Of 89 Was At Alpine For The Dead For 3 Dayz, & Skipped A Day & Saw The Who !!! All 4 Show"s During Late Afternoon I Would Stair At That Man Made Ski Slope 1/4 Mile Behind The Stage, & Could Not Believe Early 90 I Heard The New"s !!!! Not A Good Day !!!... B. Safe....Peace
I'm sure SRV would say: "Cool, Blues Man. Just have at it." Be you. That's how the Blues rolls. Our influences bring us Joy we express in vocals and instruments. RIght?
Willie the Wimp was buried today, They laid him to rest in a special way. Sent him off in the finest style That casket-mobile really drove 'em wild Southside Chicago will think of him often Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin That casket, it looked like a fine Seville He had a vanity license and a Cadillac grille Willie was propped up in the driver's seat He had diamonds on his fingers and a smile sweet Fine red suit had the whole town talkin' Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin Oh, Cadillac to Heaven he was wavin' the banner He left like he lived, in a lively manner With a-hundred dollar bills in his fingers tight He had flowers for wheels and a-flashin' headlights He been wishin' for wings, no way he was walkin' Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Purple is mah color. I just heard an Iowa band with a singer on this song, who just didn't cut it. No amount of good guitar could save it either. This Stevie person was thee Texas blooze.
I know what you mean brasslamp, I miss his music so much. Imagine if he was still alive! Punk/Hardcore/Emo wouldn't have taken over; it would still be the good music on the radio!
I heard Double Trouble with Joe Bonamassa in Colorado. They killed it, for real. SRV knew what he had. That kick - that bass - and Reese Wynans on the keyboards was just a monster BuhhLoooooze foundation. You couldn't help but feel SRV's fingers in the pie. Unforgettable.
How awesome to see an outrageously talented guy own his problems, grab his demons & conquer them. This was a great loss. It must be really nice to have people that actually support you & stay by your side instead of abandoning them & betraying them----and then spreading horrible rumors about you. Time brings out the truth though---maybe not today or tomorrow or next week, but in time, everything comes out.
Everytime i watch Stevie, it still feels like as though i will soon be able to see him live. You touched many peoples lives Stevie. God rest your soul. Love you SRV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is what i love about stevie.... every song is played like its the final song ever. i just saw kenny wayne last week in morristown nj. and it was missing this kind of passion.
Especially back in those days, pre- NATO. Wouldn't put it past SRV to joke that the Russians will probably bomb us before we hit the stage. It's too safe now, or is it
Kenny has a singer most times. He feels it in his guitar, that's clear. But someone else does the vocals. Some tracks are beautiful and strong. (Blue on Black....) SRV was a single conduit; the guitar AND the vocal. It's a tidal wave of expression that sweeps you up and carry you along. Sitll, some people aren't so hot on him. It's OK though, isn't it?
I ,sadly, never met him but he is my Inspiration for every day I play guitar... I miss him! he died just a few weeks before I was born... I hope I play a good tribute guitar... I would give anything, if he could hear the song, that I wrote for him... Heaven called another Bluesstringer back home... Rest in Peace Stevie! We all miss you!
Almost superhuman chops on the guitar, an uncanny ability to write songs, and that voice - he was talented beyond description. Sometimes I ask God if we can have him back if we agree to give up Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and all the Kardashian's...

Stevie Ray Vaughan the legend of blue's and Rock n roll..guitar legend and great vocalist..great band..what a performance and concerts were phenominal..never be another SRV..U are missed SRV
He was totally humble about who he was and laid a lot of what he could do on a foundation of the Blues giants, Hendrix and all the players that make Blues a powerful fraternity. Some people aren't crazy about the Blues. But it's OK. We're fine.
One thing that really blows me away about SRV, is not only is he one of the greatest guitar players, theres only a handful of virtuosos that can do that
There will never be another Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix etc. Just as there will never be another SRV. Got to respect all of those that are influenced by him to keep some good music coming. KWS, John Mayer, Joe Bonnamassa, all profess the influence that the greats including had on them. Just watch their interviews. There's no argument.

@Drew .. Well said so right!!
He is a role model because he was able to go to the depths of hell and come back clean and sober. Watching someone rise through that type of adversity shows that anyone can get sober….
That’s what a role model and inspiration.
He went to manny AA meetings talked to countless people about addiction.
Stevie was a flawed human, like we all are… he had a big heart and cared about so many people, and could sing through his guitar like nobody’s business!!
@@CULT539 might be the reason why his helicopter went down. Sex drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll that’s what makes the money. Sad but it’s true.
Stevie and his guitar......1 in the same
He makes love to it 🎸 imho…❤
SRV was the best , PERIOD....
Stevie live sounded better than a lot of people could do in the studio. An unbelievable talent.
I seen him live outdoors in st.paul.tripping on LSD..EXCELLENT
Absolutely
Willie Nelson used to have the Austin Opery House. There was Music Lane, where musicians would rent space. I watched Stevie practice for years. I was backstage at the Armadillo World Headquarters when Stevie got Tommy Shannon to quit playing with Johnny Winter to play with him. Starting Double Trouble. Stevie was my friend

Hello and Good bye to Stevie! RIP Stevie. We all lost a great one.

You're exactly right. Just read what he said about Jimi and it all makes sense. We are the culmination of our influences and heroes. If we play too, someone somewhere feels that way about you.
He also said many times that he wished he had as much talent ad his brothet, Jimmie.
A role model can break free of addictions and put his life right like he did.
If he were still here today, imagine what he could accomplish. I've heard it said that Stevie was called home because God wanted his fingers back.
He beat addiction and watched his woman die and went out in a helicopter crash. Sorrowful. He's a legend that inspires and entertains. Truly unique.
I like that. God wanted his fingers back@@ChrisSpringer-d1r

i dont care how much you practice, without the talent, you are nowhere

Magical, Mystical HUMAN BEING - RIP Mr. SRV. We MISS you!!
We lost him way, way too soon but, we can be thankful we can listen to him in a place like this, and we'll never forget him 😎
1990 I was in Virginia for a visit from Nebraska sucks!
Imagine the shit we'd hear if he was still here.
I think that often, when Stevie would of heard drummers that could keep up with the notes he plays on double kick, it would of opened up whole new levels.
More blues-rock, soul-blues, psychedelic-blues, pop-blues, gator-blues, Chicago-blues, Texas-blues!
Love it love stevie ray vaughan he had the whole package
What a rip off when he died .Finally got off the drugs and was smoking audiences . Most incredible guitarist I ever saw live in concert . Still blows me away like it was yesterday . Would have still been blowing us all away 20+ years later . No one like him before or since . RIP SRV loved you then and now .
One of the best all time . a hendrix fan my whole life srv in the same category.
Yup.

he was the best blues guitarest ther ever was and will never be again.it just don't get better than SRV.
I agree luv him still listening to him he's the best❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Effortless . That's what amazes me the most about SRV . Was like he was born to do it . A dozen years of music lost . Breaks my heart .
Bless you Stevie, God must have needed a guitarist.
Yes.
God sure got one for the band in rock and roll heaven
Britpop Brony it
Someone to keep Jimi company.
@Common Logic Yes, He does exist.
SRV WE LOVE YOU DOWN UNDER
By far the greatest guitar slinger of my time ! R.I.P srv 🙏
Best guitarist that I ever saw live in concert . Blew me away . Saw him in '87 I think at a small college up here in maine . Maybe 800 or 900 people at the most . was 10 feet from stage and was just blown away . Was his first stop on comeback tour after he cleaned up his act ( drugwise ) .

Best guitarist for my money.
I had the HONOR to watch Stevie , TWICE in south Florida. What a rare talent he was.
August 27,1990...R.I.P. SRV!
About SRV. Saw him early in his career, about 200 showed up in a place that would seat 2000.

When you're a natural talent his music takes you to another realm.
And ain't that the truth
Have you seen Philip Sayce?
Drums killing it
10s of thousands in the audience should be a testament to what Stevie Ray had on the influence on modern blues rock. There is nothing like live music. I sure wish I could have been there. What a voice,
A real musician, playing real music.
iv seen him . this man is NO JOKE
No body ever came or ever will come close to SRV.
I agree!!
S Pag You are a wise women.
false Hendrix is god without him Stevie would have no blueprint to build on
It still doesn't negate the fact that Stevie surpassed him. P.S. Hendrix had blueprints to work from also and he's not a god.
eh.... stevie rules, but thinking in those terms is not really helpful.. so many amazing guitarists / musicians...
Amazing talent!🙏🤗
We will miss him forever no one will ever replace him
Before i die i will boot scoot in texas to this❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
This was live, I repeat this was live.
Damn that guitar is everything & a bowl of gritz
The Greatest guitarist I ever saw
🎼 Goodbye!! WILLIE!!! 🎼🎙️💟💕
He was so excellent. A true case of a broken mold. Never be another like him.
I miss you stevie...
Stevie was sober the last 4 years of his life Adrian. He did realize that drugs and alcohol were bad for him and he did something about it. RIP SRV, your music will always live on. I hope you and Jimi are having some great jam sessions together.
Carl Vandenberg that's why his playin got 2×better.
@@gregzzzz9570 it left the stratosphere at the point. Thank god there’s video of him, words can’t do it justice

No one can sing this like Stevie!!!

yes i say awesome@
YES!
He was a great singer but never get attention because he was such a phenomena with the guitar , really ashame !!
I feel privileged that I got to see him do this song in concert. he was a level above anyone else. he would whip the crowd into a frenzy, mellow us out and send us home. I believe he was honestly concerned for our safety and sent us on our way not screaming and crazy but relaxed. he had that much control over the crowed.

It was like Austin went silent. A day of mourning. A guy at work actually knew him. We couldn't talk about it.
Saw him the night before he died. I too was at work hanging 40 stories up on a scaffold. Had to get off at break time and go home. Was devastated. His soul was what put him above the rest in any genre. Over 30yrs and I still get choked up.
Remember Same Place I Was At When Heard !!! Summer Of 89 Was At Alpine For The Dead For 3 Dayz, & Skipped A Day & Saw The Who !!! All 4 Show"s During Late Afternoon I Would Stair At That Man Made Ski Slope 1/4 Mile Behind The Stage, & Could Not Believe Early 90 I Heard The New"s !!!! Not A Good Day !!!... B. Safe....Peace
I always miss him.
Don't forget to give his brother credit, Stevie learned a lot from him
SRV is da man! His music will keep him alive for ever!
Man I have been at it over 20 years, still don't get close to this man on guitar.
I'm sure SRV would say: "Cool, Blues Man. Just have at it." Be you. That's how the Blues rolls. Our influences bring us Joy we express in vocals and instruments. RIght?
I saw SRV n double trouble in upstate NY summer of 85 at Blues Fest. Incredible up close, RIP.
That tone at 3:55 is larger than life. I’ve listened to a lot of music and guitarists and never heard anything like that!
He was the most incredible guitar slinger there ever was.
Thick strings, tons of gain and Stevies insane attack 💪
Yep! He was divinely blessed with very strong hands & fingers, especially considering his smaller stature. Perfectly formed…to grip and strum…❤🎉
Willie the Wimp was buried today,
They laid him to rest in a special way.
Sent him off in the finest style
That casket-mobile really drove 'em wild
Southside Chicago will think of him often
Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin,
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
That casket, it looked like a fine Seville
He had a vanity license and a Cadillac grille
Willie was propped up in the driver's seat
He had diamonds on his fingers and a smile sweet
Fine red suit had the whole town talkin'
Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Oh, Cadillac to Heaven he was wavin' the banner
He left like he lived, in a lively manner
With a-hundred dollar bills in his fingers tight
He had flowers for wheels and a-flashin' headlights
He been wishin' for wings, no way he was walkin'
Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Life without you , Stevie Ray vaughan
Purple is mah color. I just heard an Iowa band with a singer on this song, who just didn't cut it. No amount of good guitar could save it either. This Stevie person was thee Texas blooze.
Every time I listen to or watch Stevie, I want to go play my guitar and get better. Guess I need to watch during the day when my wife isn't asleep!
Brilliant is this one wauwwwww he was such a great one,
I have GREAT taste in music....The man, NO myth, And ALL legend...SRV..
einer der besten gitarrenspieler,impulsiv,gefühlvoll feeling
inspiriert noch heute musiker auf der ganzen welt.....good by Stevie Ray
I Love SRV ...I Like The Vid .
One of my favorite guitar players. Bad mother
I loved this man. I saw him 3 times. His voice was so special, and the way he played his guitar!!! RIP SRV
I know what you mean brasslamp, I miss his music so much. Imagine if he was still alive! Punk/Hardcore/Emo wouldn't have taken over; it would still be the good music on the radio!
I come back to this clip regularly, it's a great source of inspiration.
Talented beautiful humble funny there will never be another SRV GOAT
Congratulations Stevie & Double Trouble on making the Rock & Roll hall of Fame...
Thanks for writing your music.

Hey , It's called keeping Stevie alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 18, 2015
I heard Double Trouble with Joe Bonamassa in Colorado. They killed it, for real. SRV knew what he had. That kick - that bass - and Reese Wynans on the keyboards was just a monster BuhhLoooooze foundation. You couldn't help but feel SRV's fingers in the pie. Unforgettable.
@@terrylodercreative Yea, Chris Layton is with Kenny Wayne Shepard too. I saw KWS!
Let's face it , that was as easy to figure out as anything !!
Will always be a fan of SRV!
There will never be anyone better than SRV.
How awesome to see an outrageously talented guy own his problems, grab his demons & conquer them. This was a great loss. It must be really nice to have people that actually support you & stay by your side instead of abandoning them & betraying them----and then spreading horrible rumors about you. Time brings out the truth though---maybe not today or tomorrow or next week, but in time, everything comes out.
Everytime i watch Stevie, it still feels like as though i will soon be able to see him live. You touched many peoples lives Stevie. God rest your soul. Love you SRV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The greatest ever...
SRV IS THIS GREATEST Guitar player I ever saw , need i say more..RIP SRV,nothing but love...pure Texan
The BEST guitar player
this is what i love about stevie.... every song is played like its the final song ever.
i just saw kenny wayne last week in morristown nj. and it was missing this kind of passion.
I haven't seen Kenny since before he married Mel Gibson's daughter. Sad to hear he lost the passion. Heh? Heh?
Jeffrey Raney Hah! I see what you did there!
Especially back in those days, pre- NATO. Wouldn't put it past SRV to joke that the Russians will probably bomb us before we hit the stage. It's too safe now, or is it
Kenny has a singer most times. He feels it in his guitar, that's clear. But someone else does the vocals. Some tracks are beautiful and strong. (Blue on Black....) SRV was a single conduit; the guitar AND the vocal. It's a tidal wave of expression that sweeps you up and carry you along. Sitll, some people aren't so hot on him. It's OK though, isn't it?
never met ya, i was born in 95 but i miss ya like no other
One of my favorite songs Stevie did.
I ,sadly, never met him but he is my Inspiration for every day I play guitar... I miss him! he died just a few weeks before I was born... I hope I play a good tribute guitar... I would give anything, if he could hear the song, that I wrote for him...
Heaven called another Bluesstringer back home...
Rest in Peace Stevie!
We all miss you!
Almost superhuman chops on the guitar, an uncanny ability to write songs, and that voice - he was talented beyond description.
Sometimes I ask God if we can have him back if we agree to give up Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and all the Kardashian's...
He can have all parppers too
Betcha Stevie would say there's room for both. We all like what we like. Simple deal really, right?

Stevie Ray Vaughan the legend of blue's and Rock n roll..guitar legend and great vocalist..great band..what a performance and concerts were phenominal..never be another SRV..U are missed SRV
He was totally humble about who he was and laid a lot of what he could do on a foundation of the Blues giants, Hendrix and all the players that make Blues a powerful fraternity. Some people aren't crazy about the Blues. But it's OK. We're fine.
Just the best solo and guitarist ever… PERIOD RIP STEVIE👍👍🙏🙏
One thing that really blows me away about SRV, is not only is he one of the greatest guitar players, theres only a handful of virtuosos that can do that
There will never be another Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix etc. Just as there will never be another SRV. Got to respect all of those that are influenced by him to keep some good music coming. KWS, John Mayer, Joe Bonnamassa, all profess the influence that the greats including had on them. Just watch their interviews. There's no argument.
Stevie was definitely the master of guitar. Drummer was grreat
Scot Summerfield Chris Leyton
Chris is now the drummer for Kenny Wayne Shepard
