Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny

[LaOjotaAsesina]

You are a Master !

[LaOjotaAsesina]

pero esta en mi..esta mejor en re

[MusicOfKeng]

Perfection.

[IbrianAravenis]

Great execution. You are not just playing a song in that guitar. I hear the song as if itself was "Talking" as you play. The important thing is to feel what one is playing in one's instrument... for transmit it to the listener.

If you make sound this way to "Lenny", How would sounds "Riviera Paradise"?

[havaden96]

AAAAAAGGHHHH!!!! i Cant wait anymore, i want my strat!! ;D i have been waiting for over a month now, hopefully i will get it this week. awsome playing!

[StevoRayVaughan]

@havaden96 I've waited 6 months for my John Mayer Strat, but damn I love it!! All a guitarist needs is a Strat and a Les Paul, at least first. Then, an ES-335 and a Tele. hehehe

[jlunniss]

Beautiful tone! Again! *insert witty fap-related comment*! *AGAIN* Finally, someone on youtube who realises that extra distortion does not a good cover make.

[philjit1]

hey man, you know how to play..............

[greenday961000]

Great cover!



[afterdinnermint2]

dude where's you hiding that band and inevitable hit?

[caper121]

Just awesome! Great playing, great sound! I love this!

Can anyone tell what pickup position most of this is played with? Looks like maybe the middle pup?

I have the same amp. Would also love to know what your amp settings are.

Thanks for posting this.

[jacobsprivacy]

@caper121 2nd from the top

[AndryVasyluk]

Great!!! Texas Specials Pickups?

[94PedroAlves]

can somebody tell me how to do the last harmonic out of the fretboard?

[GuitarDude892]

@94PedroAlves Do it the same way you do a normal 12th fret harmonic, just at where the 24th fret would be. move you finger across one string lightly while picking until you hear it, then remember where it is by relating its position to the pickups on your guitar. For me it is above the pole piece on me strat's single coil neck pickup, and on my music man it is on the edge of its p90 pickup closest to the neck.

[GeorgianPranks]

yep a version of lenny by my favourite musician "John Mayer"

[oneswatter]

bravo! brilliant tone! this should be a Fender demo video!

[segelflieger92]

I am addicted to your bold as love version....Not having it is like being on turkey...i am looking for it every week

[MarcusII100]

Awesome guitar, awesome tone, awesome playing. Very inspirational

[monirom94]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!!!

Loved that little lick you did, 1:52-2:00, the rest was sick as well.

I think John Mayer is a musical genius IMO,

I know alot of us here compare you to him.

Your playing isn't good , it's f'in great, it really is Pro stuff.

[aLongHairedDude]

To CLEAN....

[nirvanium29]

what type of amp do you use?

[Boombaby422]

Beautiful...

[DrBlues90]

I've seen about 3000 guitar videos on youtube, literally none of them compare to you. I regularly watch your videos and you have influenced my playing quite massively.

[TheSevenEnder]

sweet & perfect!! SRV would be proud of such a beautiful interpretation...

[sadiQium]

isn't he dead? SRV?

[sakk3d]

@sadiQium

Stevie Ray Vaughan is alive

[JustinChauGuitar]

@sadiQium He died in a helicopter accident, but he will always be one of the greatest guitarists in history<3

[plastic191919]

@sadiQium Yeah...

[Amylouthomas]

I have literally learnt so much from this cover! thank you

[cyoteblues]

Nice. Jeeze someone here thats not a parrot.

[mejsjalv]

Who the fuck is Pilky and why isn't he a mega star? Beautiful tone, great interpretation.

[fender8710]

[Mus0w]

[Mus0w]

[40tired]

[upachee]

[Joethomas1547]

Hey John Mayer you may have the rest of these guys fooled but not me!!! Go ahead and show ur face lettin us know its you!!! Come on i caught man!!!

[parkermckinleymyers]

@Joethomas1547 John doesn't have this delicate of a touch.

[Joethomas1547]

@parkermckinleymyers might be right this guy is really really nasty!!!

[Joethomas1547]

You are one of the best guitar players out there!!! Why u sittin in a dang room playin u need to be on freaken stage!!!!!

[mobo215]

Most excellent, sir!

[LandonPeotMusic1]

Tone heaven!

[Miniamahog]

thank you. its people like you with videos like this that inspire me to keep teaching myself guitar

[kereminmekan]

slow dancing in a burning room please!



[Juckster2011]

could you post your 'bold as love' video again, please? I loved it!

[beatlesfan129]

Wow

[Danklin24]

Not bad playing at all but i didnt like the blend of Mayer and SRV. Just didn't fit for me.

[snekae]

Love the licks from John mayer you put in :)

[fenrythm]

Pilky27 Bold as love cover

watch?v=GkwPOvtVSCU

[MartinezMusic15]

this guy has incredible tone.

[3theetk]

2 dislikes? obviously cant play guitar

[3theetk]

2 dislikes? obviously cant play guitar

[iloveyoumomdad]

This is pretty much note for note the version of Lenny Mayer plays on his first live DVD. Which is awesome, great playing dude!

[cheezmunky]

Outstanding!!! Ya ever notice how the tastiest licks seem to inolve hammer-on's? I love hammer-on's!!!

[magdawg123]

ahhh love it!!! SRV= king of blues, this is a wonderful tribute!

[Stevenjames1986]

@magdawg123 hey man, would you check out my tribute to lenny as well and let me know what you think of it?

[co10boy]

Nice mix of SRV's and Mayer's versions. Good job!

[grok64]

SRV meets Hendrix meets John Mayer. Nice ORIGINAL cover! Thanks for sharing

[davidegibson]

well done man!

[TommyDai1]

im thinking of getting this amp would you recommend it?

[SeagoGuitarist]

Definitely just earned yourself a subscriber with that! You put just the right amount of feel into that song. Plus, your tone was great. Sounded killer! Nicely done man. =)

[TheTwistedmistr]

This is great. I saw you took some J.Mayer improv as well on a few of the verses. None the less, well played.

[Billymixs]

Really amazing the sound of that guitar! I love the clean sound with little distortion!!

[richburns824]

Possibly the best Lenny cover I've seen on youtube

[smooretogo]

SO so sry. NOT SRV chords etc.(but i know its improve) nice fingers tho....I think you should create your originals....seems to me.....your at that stage,,,,,go baby

....wright dude....Go for it....I KNOW you hear guitar/blues in your morning hours and at bedtime...I know I do...anyway....well done

[wackowatermelon]

[Thariothius]

Ye man U should Cover Little wing aswell!

[creekstreetsessions]

nice cover

[hiro260]

simply beautiful mate

[DistortedV12]

What are you using to record?

[greysword1908]

The way you hold the guitar with the left hand is like the way Jimi Hendrix was holding his with the right hand !

Keep it up BRO!

[josssy27]

you have that magic touch !!! amazing

[JovemJogador2]

This type of videos make me feel like I'm not dedicating enough time to guitar practice

[Stevenjames1986]

@JovemJogador2 keep going my man, gets better with age lol

[VicRoseMusic]

@JovemJogador2 said so perfectly haha

[silent5am]

[JayJayAwesome]

[belgesto]

JM version.

gooood!

[STEPHANE6704]

[jacafil]

Well done again, John! :)

[drneme]

WOW!!!!!!!

[Matt0188]

[TheWasabiNoodles]

[FrozenNerd]

pilky is god!

[ThePumpkinhead76]

Man, you have a very good feeling, i love your cover. What are pickups on your strat?

[mollers92]

really great stuff, well done mate.

[spookyngrissom]

Awesome! Your neighbors are so lucky!

[hellcat6249472]

Amazing job!

[baseball25player]

Hey quick question, is there a compressor involved here? I am just learning about the use of comp's and LOVE your tone, I mean really its freakishly good. This is open for anyone, whether or not you need a compressor to get this tone. I have a Hot Rod Deluxe(hold the chuckles) and a strat, and can't quite get this type of studio sound...

[KJizel1010]

@baseball25player I was wondering the same thing too!

[EduNaTee]

big hands

[toubutey]

wish I could play like that! well done man, excellent cover!

[NunoDuarte7]

I'm gonna play like that one day.

[1020fender]

Its been a while time for a new vid pilky

[amritzelnick]

I'm flabergasted!!! People shut the fuck up about John Mayer! He's a butcher with good taste in prey. Now pilky27... that's touch! Hat's off bro, after SRV you get the closest to the true Hendrix tone! More clips please!

[michaelpaul31]

@amritzelnick Look up john mayer playing lenny on any given thursday and this is a cover of the way he plays it there. So you are complimenting JM's style actually.

[galacticox4]

@michaelpaul31 wow interesting you said that cause i very much thought of john mayer early in the playing and thought it sounds like john mayer playing. well i guess i can be happy that my ear is improving some.

[tama1550]

@Iradmclovin9 He's playing in a very similar style to JM. Also, Mayer has introduced a lot of people to blues music so that's a good thing. It will be hard to find videos like these where someone doesn't mention John Mayer.

[lradmclovin9]

ugh, im sick of people talking about john mayer, they do it in the bold as love video too. People, this is SRV and JIMI HENDRIX!, the two greatest guitarists of all time (well, Hendrix at least) and your going on about john mayer?! some people even think he wrote bold as love, its enraging.

[joshbezemer]

@lradmclovin9 and @tama1550 not to mention that this dude's style is VERY similar to john mayer. he sounds like mayer doing these songs. of course it's disgusting that people think john mayer wrote bold as love but a lot of people think cash wrote hurt or hendrix wrote all along the watch tower. you can't blame people for liking good music but not knowing where it came from.

[NewMusicSpacequake]

@lradmclovin9 You are right it's Hendrix and SRV, but it's in the style of John Mayer. His phrasing, the dynamics he uses, it's all techniques that are uniquely John Mayer. Hendrix was more modest and SRV was more aggressive, this guy plays more like Mayer than those two.

[skauki]

Very nice man, Awesome job!!!

[JeffSeren]

Who cares who it is ... just keep 'em coming.. AWESOME!

[ads0668]

@ixlikexscurvy Best guitarist full stop! I agree with jonborne that this is in fact JM. He's got it all goin' on. Fingering, picking, timing and feel. And what's more he does it without even trying. The best player I've seen for a while....impossible to fault on this and all of his vids.

[bkwilos]

Damn, reminds me of a mix between Carnegie Hall and El Mocambo versions. Damn I wish I could play that good.

[MiniDaab]

@bkwilos its the kind of the version john mayer plays at any given thursday.

except for some parts its identical to that.

[Stefanbb89]

cheers man just beautiful no comments thank you so much keep posting videos

[ixlikexscurvy]

best guitarist on youtube.

[Nonconceptualcontent]

That's absolutely magic man!

W O W ! ;->

All the best,

F

[jonborne]

This ... IS JOHN MAYER... duh.. pay attention to the details.. (watch his covers from SRV, the way he holds the pick when the bass-part comes, etc..etc..) Please John.. don't deny it anymore :) 99% JM, or 1% dumbass for not showing your face!! (:

[chilidog314]

@jonborne this cant be jm, sorry bro, no tattoos, but i definately wouldnt say hes a dumbass haha

[fangio7]

c'mon john..please..tell us the truth..it's you..

[3whisperedwords]

just fantastic sounding...

[DFojas]

Hey great cover! Is this the 60 watt Super sonic? Keep it up!

[Epiphonefan]

Hey man you're great!

Nice guitar hehe,

could you check out my live version?

[lieutenantcracker]

Not bad.... Not bad at all, in fact!

How old are you, by the way? Your hands look young

[aquarian444]

awesome, amazing,

could you do a tutorial please? or a slowed down, zoom in version?

and is that the new supersonic 112 you're playing through? is it the 22W version?

thanks :)

once more....tthat was AMAZING!

[BillyBobTurtle]

Wow, sweet.

[rivermesck]

bravo bravo bravo!

[manray42]

little wing! please a little wing cover!

[kzearo]

Absolutely flawless playing, not only is it technically masterful but it oozes with soul.

[thejuggernut]

awesome tone, flawless playing! can't wait for your next cover!

[SMMAsano]

you are strat king on youtube!

[rstrix36]

Man! I could listen to you play all day long. Very cool.

[ADFrenchGuitarist]

JOHN MAYER GET OUT OF THIS BODY §§

btw great cover man, your guitar playing is just insane !

[pabloturrado74]

please play Little Wing!

[stratdenice]

man, this is serious guitar playing ! well done ! I'm impressed !

[BluesThor]

LOTS of Mayer influence here! :)

[jtory]

SICK!!!

[TheSilkey22]

amazing:)

[dr6926]

Amazing

[RUSHisCOOL69]

Ur covers are orgasmic. That is how good they are. I don't care if I get a few thumbs down, I'm just sayin, amazing covers.

[therealmiddy]

Q How many guitarists does it take to cover a Stevie Ray tune?

A Apparently, all of them.

[bellolee]

insane player

[garyhapson]

it' s better than stevie' s!

[tissuechang]

Yeah, this is just not funny anymore. This has to be Mayer.

[HknNor]

I think this is God playin'.

[phkontrol]

Stunning man, really good use of dynamics!

[ipeterson665]

how did you learn this? did you just listen to john mayer's cover alot and expand on it or did you do something else? i would love to play this song!!!!!! i envy you.

[ZoopperZ]

this is so nice :D

and there's actually no dislikes in ratings, so that's kinda cool too :)

[guitarsebs]

close your eyes an at least a few licks dont differ from what u would expect stevie to play....incredibly good

i'm enormously jealous!

[Stratonaba]

There not enough videos of you....

I really think u could be john mayer's stuntman.....

[Derekjcb]

This is john mayer's version not srv's version. Actually i thought u made up ur own version until i listened to the john mayers version :P anyway, excellent stuff.

[ads0668]

With bit more practice you should be able to play this bit cleaner. Only kidding. You my friend are an absolute freak on this instrument. Keep the posts coming. I've loved every one of them.

[WarwickDavey]

What a great freaking sound. I must duplicate it...It's what I been wanting. Mayer meets SRV!!!

[WarwickDavey]

@WarwickDavey Do you think you need a tube to make it right. Youre using a tube here right?

[nerowolfeandarchie]

Too perfect...JM thanks for the vids...They are cool.

[eikels]

A Pro.... !

[MegaHitchhiker]

congratulation!!!!!!!!

[Hotdawg0007]

I would kill to play like that!

[xma456]

@Hotdawg0007 You wouldn't have to if you practiced your ass off

[Aner1993]

@Hotdawg0007 Just practice a lot

[GABSJR3]

@Hotdawg0007 I would practice to play that!

[joshuak80]

Damn!!!

[quilicimusic]

when you shake the guitar for that subtle vibrato you might wanna try pulling it back and forth towards your body.

i've found that your body pressing on the body and your pulling on the neck does the job pretty well with the bolt on neck of a strat.

nice playing!

[Alphamax11]

Brother, I would pay money to watch you now. Fine job, keep up the good work. Let us know when your going on tour.

[jmfan17]

This is definitely John Mayer. It's so obvious. Notice how he's wearing a sweater to cover up his sleeve tattoos ; ) Haha just kidding; you're very VERY good!

[ripstick91]

@jmfan17 haha i could believe that too if he wore long sleeves in all his other videos
