I mis-posted...Rene Martinez is very much alive and well and is John Mayer's tech. Ceasar Diaz is the one that passed away...he was Stevie's amp tech. Sorry 'bout that!
I saw Stevie at the Toledo Zoo Amphitheater in July of 1990 and he broke 2 strings during a song and did this swap, never missed a lick. A true guitar God.
Impressive but pointless. I believe wireless existed back then, I'm not sure, but anyway, today you'd just switch guitars and switch the channels, and have a strap on every guitar. Stevie liked to keep the same strap through the show for some reason. I don't know, maybe they liked the excitement of doing it the hard way, ha.
@TheVO74 He is John Mayer's guitar tech now. I tried to find information on his death after I read your comment but can't find anything but interviews with him and his own personal web site. Where did you hear/read he died? I'm not disputing it I'm just interested to know. There is also a video on Youtube with John Mayer talking about his guitars and Rene Martinez talks about Lenny and working for Stevie Ray Vaughan as in the video John gets the Custom shop repro of Lenny.
A great switch. Got it done on the stop. The most impressive part was SRV himself. He plugged that thing in fast fast. As a strat player, I know how smooth that was. The angle of the output can be a hindrance to getting plugged in quickly. Wish that guy was working for me, but I also wish I was getting SRV's work!
Believe it or not, I had to do the same thing except I had to run 100 feet from behind my PA console when one of the bands I was working with had their lead guitar players strap break. I grabbed a spare out of my utility suitcase, ran up while he was playing on his knee, pulled off the old torn strap and put on mine to finish out their show.
The other band members & their friends stood around with their thumbs up their butts as usual.
The only thing that hurts here is where he places N° 1...hope it wasn´t placed very hard on the floor...but seeing such ability I am sure nothing happened to it.
What a class act, the guy even goes to the extreme of staying behind Stevie all the time, to avoid interrupting the show. This was very nice, SRV was one in a million years.
@badass005 Not to mention the strap might knock his hat off in the process of changing guitars quickly. Go to love this change though. Only SRV could pull this off without missing a beat.
omg. that is the most amazing swap ever. not a lick missed. srv didn't even have to open his eyes! is there an oscar for roadies? i know who i'd nominate...
That was cool but I remember seeing Buddy Guy in the mid 8os break ten strings during one show.He didnt have a roadie to deal with his guitar so he changed his own string on the fly.He could change a string within 12 bars ,that was absofuckinloutly off the hook cool!!!
There's a video of him doing the same thing during a benefit show in Canada...if you closed your eyes, you'd have no idea he broke a string...and those are 13s!!! Consumate professional. BB King once said about SRV, "flawless". So true.
holy crap, that was flawless. I've seen the same thing happen to Angus Young before on a whole lotta rosie video, but he was headbanging and everything and the roadie strapped on the guitar while he was playing it.
Probably rehearsed got to be professional and plan for the unexpected, though strings do break. Watching Santana in concert once, the jack to the amp dropped out, the roadie slid across the stage picking up the jack, plugged it into the Guitar all in one movement.
It isn't accurate to refer to René Martínez as a roadie - after Charley Wirz pasted away in 1985, Mr. Martínez became the go to guitar tech for Stevie Ray Vaughan. SRV was a notorious string breaker, so by the time of this incident in 1989, they probably had done this kind of in the middle of a performance switch many times.
Saw the same thing happen when he played Boise in 1989. The crowd went crazy and Stevie just pointed to the roadie . He is still my favorite guitar player and Blues singer .
lol. that was friggin awesome. rodies are so underrated. i saw at a def leppard show viv campbell screwin with one draggin his guitar across the stage as the rodie chased him lol. the rodie was so pissed and everyone was crackin up at the kid. haha. dont ever become one.
When you get paid to play like stevie did you start showing less mercy on your strings. Plus that man had to get his necks re fretted all of the time.
I saw him live once at the old Starplex theater back in 1987 just after he recovered from his drug crash.
He started into a solo and for some reason his connection to the amp went completely dead, you couldn't hear anything, not even the amp itself (I was really close to the stage, so I should have been able to hear it).
He wasn't four notes into the solo when a roadie came scrambling out at him. Very humorously, his connection restored itself on its own.
I saw Stevie in a little club in Dallas back in '81 and the roadie was handing him another guitar after each song because he had at least one and sometimes two broken strings after each song. He played hard. After Rene Martinez became his guitar tech he put strips of plastic insulation around the strings at the bridge and he didn't break as many strings.
I have a SRV/Satriani tribute and my strat brakes strings more often than I change my underwear,lol, because of the heavy gage I use to try to get "his" tone (12s and sometimes even 13s, but those brake way too often and it gets expensive, you know) and trying to play hard like Stevie did. That's the only way, you know...
How does that "strips of plastic" trick works? Can you give me more info please? Fell free to contact me on my channel.
this is from the outtakes of the ACL show. SRV broke the B string (2nd from bottom) during a bend. He finished the lead on the other strings and looks to Rene on the side of the stage. Then what you see here occurs. It is an AMAZING feat, perfectly timed to the song and SRV never misses a beat. But, Im sure it happened often as he was HELL on strings!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no it isnt, #1's low E string pops off, and thats why he swaps guitars. If I were stevie I'd continue playing the song just like Hendrix did at woodstock when 2 strings of his poped out.
In the same show his strap pops off during Mary Had A little Lamb and it stumbles him up for a split second. The roadie flies out and fixes him up, Stevie Smiles and salutes the roadie.
Not during this show, unless you're talking about something else. Type in "Stevie Ray Vaughan Amarillo" and look for Voodoo Chile, at the beginning the strap pops off and Stevie almost drops the guitar, but it doesn't affect him, he repositions himself and keeps going. Rene comes out, puts the strap back on, Stevie makes a sigh of relief, salutes Rene and then goes back to killing Number 1, it's really some sick stuff
Its actualy not that out-of-sync, what you are hearing at 0:12 is the bass starting the riff, and if you are a musician, u can clearly hear when Stevie joins.
a guitar player? A GUITAR PLAYER?! just so you know that so called guitar players name is Stevie Ray Vaughn dont forget it he is known as one of the best in the world right in front of jimi hendrix. oh yeah im a bassist so tommy shannon the bassist in this clip is one of my heros.
read my comment again...slowly. i know that is SRV he is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. what i was trying to get at, is that the audience is all applauding b/c he switches guitars and they think its some 'trick' but he really broke a string and only the guitarists are able to tell that.
@fallonatorrrr , I'm pretty sure most people (even the non guitar players) in the the audience knew what happend and werent cheering because they thought he had just pulled off some gay stunt, they were cheering because the music didnt stop.
haha, yea... give the audience some credit, maybe they did see the broken string and applauded his skill at being able to keep the song as opposed to just stopping and going out to get another one... don't really know, but this is some real badass stuff
@fallonatorrrr - I was in that audience and I don't play guitar! It was clear to me and the people around me that he broke a string. Maybe living in a city like Austin where live music rules makes for smarter than average audiences?? No offense meant, but we aren't all idiots! If you're a guitarist in a band, please remember that it's the power of the "audience" that can make or break you.
I have some video (boot) when Stevie breaks a string in a solo, finishes the solo and switches guitar in the middle just like that. I swear if you were listeneing on the radio you would not have known. When I find out how to get it from VHS to my pc I will try to put it up if anyone is intersted.
I could had gladly supplanted this roadie and when he handled me N° 1 just had ran away with it, ha, ha...just kidding. Amazing how he doesn´t loose the rhytm, very nice.
no I see partially, besides you can read even on wikipedia that Rene Martinez made this guitar and he was Vaughan guitar tech, there is video on youtube about John Mayer continuum tour and there is Rene Martinez as John;s guitar tech. Sorry for my english.
it'd be better if you'd uploaded the whole vid. i cant seem to find it anywhere.
either way this just cracks me up every time. its almost as good as the video of les paul and mary ford thats like 9 minutes long, and he breaks a string when he's doing his awesome one handed solo lmao
Stevie was such a good multi-tasker, he could make Lenny have an orgasm, pour pure unadulterated blues out of his pores and plan what he's going to eat two years from now.

read my comment again...slowly. i know that is SRV he is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. what i was trying to get at, is that the audience is all applauding b/c he switches guitars and they think its some 'trick' but he really broke a string and only the guitarists are able to tell that.

as he said pause it at 6 seconds and look at the guitar that is how hard he beat that guitar

@fallonatorrrr , I'm pretty sure most people (even the non guitar players) in the the audience knew what happend and werent cheering because they thought he had just pulled off some gay stunt, they were cheering because the music didnt stop.

If you are gonig to lord it up over someone at least spell Stevie's name right.
The guy was simply saying maybe only guitarists realise that SRV broke a string, while I don't agree either there's no need to be so hostile...

haha, yea... give the audience some credit, maybe they did see the broken string and applauded his skill at being able to keep the song as opposed to just stopping and going out to get another one... don't really know, but this is some real badass stuff

@fallonatorrrr - I was in that audience and I don't play guitar! It was clear to me and the people around me that he broke a string. Maybe living in a city like Austin where live music rules makes for smarter than average audiences?? No offense meant, but we aren't all idiots! If you're a guitarist in a band, please remember that it's the power of the "audience" that can make or break you.

I have some video (boot) when Stevie breaks a string in a solo, finishes the solo and switches guitar in the middle just like that. I swear if you were listeneing on the radio you would not have known. When I find out how to get it from VHS to my pc I will try to put it up if anyone is intersted.

I could had gladly supplanted this roadie and when he handled me N° 1 just had ran away with it, ha, ha...just kidding. Amazing how he doesn´t loose the rhytm, very nice.

no I see partially, besides you can read even on wikipedia that Rene Martinez made this guitar and he was Vaughan guitar tech, there is video on youtube about John Mayer continuum tour and there is Rene Martinez as John;s guitar tech. Sorry for my english.

it'd be better if you'd uploaded the whole vid. i cant seem to find it anywhere.
either way this just cracks me up every time. its almost as good as the video of les paul and mary ford thats like 9 minutes long, and he breaks a string when he's doing his awesome one handed solo lmao

Stevie was such a good multi-tasker, he could make Lenny have an orgasm, pour pure unadulterated blues out of his pores and plan what he's going to eat two years from now.
