I have been a part of the top level of the Austin Texas Blues scene, been part of the Antone's musical family back when Clifford was alive, and toured the world with 2 of the biggest Blues legends from Texas. I say that so that you'll know that I know the real thing when I hear it - real and natural soul ! And I'm telling you - you can really play !!! Your touch, sensitivity, time, and raw power is not just a copy, it's the real thing !
Pretty awesome. Although Stevie like,the last half of the song behind his back! Your guitar skills still totally blow me, this one of the better covers I have heard of this song. Nice job. Out of curiosity, what is your setup? Amp, strat, effects?
makes it look easy, trust me this is one of the most difficult songs to perform, his touch is very very good
all how you play it, and srv makes it looks so easy and when you try to play at that speed with that feel you start to see how he was a master. oh and try singing to when you lay his stuff makes it even harder
hey Jas I know what you mean but it doesnt matter its still good and the title to the video is "My SRV Rendition" so he can note include all of the note or heck add a couple still pretty good IMHO
For anyone interested there is a transcription of this song in the Hal Leonard music & tab book " Blues At Sunrise ". Plus 9 other S.R.V. songs. Check it out & see how many notes this kid skipped and got wrong.
you people must be stupid or not even play guitar cause this kid isnt even close to hittin note for note in this song and i bet he cant even solo on his own shit. pathetic.....let me see ya post one of just you playin with not even a backing track phaa...
Most of the great players began by learning note-for-note solos by their role models - including Stevie Ray Vaughan, who talked about learning Lonnie Mack's "Wham" until he could play along exactly like the record.
Then you use those skills to do your own thing, whenever you feel like it. Negative comments are just playa hatin'. This guy is dynamite.
nice work you have some skills. except you have the actual track playing in the background... dilutes what is your playing and what is stevies...especially in the fast parts..
No one got enough of SRV when he was alive, so i feel anyone who wants to jam to his music, i jam to it every day. dont like it, dont type in SRV cover on your search bar
the "srv thing " I was reffering to is everyone trying to be him. Or sound like him.. There are only a choice few that can do it. I fell into the "i want to be SRV" stuff. But since moved on to being myself. Thats probably what Stevie would want anyway. And as far as searching for SRV covers ? I wasn't i just punched in SRV and got a bunch of covers/..
Are you fucking kidding me? This is the closest to 'sounding like SRV' that I have ever heard in my life. I consider him one of the choice few you refer to.
Also, you shouldn't be talking like you know exactly what 'Stevie would want', because no one really has a clue as to what he would want people to do with his music or his sound.
No i'm not kidding you. If this is the closest to stevie's sound you have heard..Than get your ears checked. I heard stevie in an interview tell learning guitarists to "just be yourself". if you wan't to impress people than shut the stereo off and turn your amp up and play.
Again is anyone out there getting sick of the whole SRV thing? The only person that can play SRV is SRV! Or TommyK Jr Look him up.. Other than that the others are just wanna be's. Damn it people! STOP IT!
No we are NOT!! and there a lot of WEs. I think it is amazing that this kid can even emulate SRV as close as he does. That however, is not what this kid is all about. Right now he is just learning from the greats. Stevie did the same thing. When he is done keep your eyes open because if it goes right he is going to be something else. I also believe to date the only guitarist that can get close to that same kind of tone and energy in his sound is Chris Duarte and actually this kid. LOok him up.
In my opinion, for some songs it's easier to learn by ear rather than by tabs. I think this song is sort one of those; plus it's hard to get a really accurate tab because this song is a bit different every time Stevie plays it.
Men.. i've been hearing you since one of your 1st posts ( wich introduced me to luther alisson )... men you rule...just hear your "bad news" version... it´s even better than luther himself....
you don´t have to be a great singer... just work on tune and there you are... i think the world must here you!
UBeaut, where have you been? Look at his "Here's Proof" or his "Little Wing w/o backing" or his "Voodoo Chile my SRV rendition" and then shut up. Or maybe apologize for doubting.
some of us work man. I watched it,i posted a message, If he didnt get it? I said i stand corrected. its not uncommon to post challeges on youtube man. I wanted to hear Tex/flood the recorded version without backup.I wouldnt ask someone who was shit now would I?
haha 1957fenderstrat, you're friggen everywhere. every SRV-related video, i see your comments. by the the way, seeing as im already posting this, do you have any more uploadable footage from that show that you posted a "life without you" video of?
thanks for learning the thing and just goin through the motions, now all you need to copy is his feel and vocals, your still a school boy needen attention
Dude, if that's really you on the ax, it's damn close to SRV. Not bad, not bad at all. From an old man, I go back to Bessie Smith. BTW, is that a Fender?
Jimmyjubejube, how much do you want to bet? Watch him on Thrill is Gone behind his neck when he was just a kid. Please post response after watching it. Then you can apologize to him. He'll probably forgive you...
then being squash by another dead bunny thats drving a pickup truck that was mexican immigrants in the back, like bunny immigrants... with funny hats...
wow, thats all i have to say. now try with .016's like SRV. no offense but no one could ever beat him. But this vid gives me hope that there is still some good taste in music in this world and its not all goin in the shitter with stuff like "50 cent" and "My Chemical Romance".....if you can call that music :/
Oh for gods sake, I hate when pretentious pricks like dbige23 post bullshit like this. This guy friggin rocks, and you wish you could play this well. Let's see a post of your rendition! thought so.
I'm not a stuck up guitar player that posts his shit on youtube for "fame", I play for fun, and it pisses me off when people think they are awesome because they can copy off of someone elses doings, its like "oh, hey, look I got an a on my math test, but I copied every answer off of the person next to me." CHEATING. I can play Texas Flood like anyone else can, but I don't need to put it on youtube to know that I'm good.
Well I see what your saying, I have checked his stuff and have not really seen any original stuff. Either way the guys is still pretty good. I too have playing for about 12 years, and won't post stuff here because I play for fun as well, but I think we shouldn't shoot him down for it.
I've only been playing for a year and a half, but I can still play that fast and that well. But I like changing that stuff up a little, and making up my own songs, or just jaming to a blues background. And, yes, this guy is good, but I don't know why he posts this.
He posts this song to show that someone other than SRV can play it. Somehow I don't believe you can play "that well." Maybe you can prove me wrong but I doubt it...
if you've only been playing for a year and a half, i doubt you can play as well as this guy. He posts this so people will look at other videos of him, he posts it because he has the freedom to, your just jealous you cant play anything like him
Who else plays "Bad News is Coming" That's an original, but who types the song in and watches it? The only way for an unknown to be seen is to play extremely difficult WELL KNOWN songs extremely well. Get it?
Dbige23, you obviously haven't checked out his other videos. If you want to see him change things up a little, go to Drivel's video entitled "Loan me a dime." Also I think you should check out his other video "The bad nes is comin'" Maybe after you're done checking those out, you'll quit complaining over how he should "change things up."
I really hope you make it big. that's simply incredible. you've got great control over your vibrato and amazing speed mechanics. I can't do that good of a vibrato on two strings with my index finger!
Or is what Karl doing nearly impossible for most people but he is just gifted? Kinda like Stephen Hawking and physics without the physical handicaps? He makes it look so easy like anyone could do it with enough work. Am I wrong?
Out of curiosity, how does one go about learning an advanced song like this note for note? Tabs? That would be like a hundred pages of tabs to learn. By ear and then mimicking? I would have to listen to the song 1,000,000 times, trying to play note by note. Can someone please enlighten me?
yeah, uh, i don't think that there is tab out for this song. I think he learns it by ear. thats what I do. I have perfect pitch but I don't think I could see this song all the way through lol
...im giving you 5/5 great guitar playing ... ur missing the 5th gear... maybe even the 4th... Put emotion in ur playing... thats what makes the difference between the really good, and the pros. The pros have the have the emotion+energy+unique appearence+ the way to get the crown on thier feet :D...work on those things, apart from the guitar playing
I think that playing songs note for note is a really good excercise for developing your own style.This helps you develop techniques you may not be able to unlock on your own.You have to have a starting point(Not to mention, it's a great ear training tool.)I think we can all agree that ear training is a good thing.
I'm not saying that anyone should stick heavily to playing licks note for note, because then you would not be working on getting down your own style. Drivel101 HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM. For he has developed,and is still developing his own style of playing.
Also,I agree that Drivel101 shouldn't feel obligated to emote in front of an artificial audience. Asking someone that they should quit ''mimicking'' SRV'slicks is like asking someone to go learn a foreign language without learning and speaking the literature of that language. WELP,I'm done preaching. Have a nice day.
Thanks for your comments, He really is a great Guitarist, if my previous comment came across rude I'm sorry, I should have wrote could you please play it standing up.
Red House 7, You obviously don't know much about Blues Yourself but he copied lick per lick Stevie's Texas Flood Relased on teh el Macomba dvD and on the Texas Flood Album, so uhh do some research, anyway thats pretty good man keep it up..
Redhouse 7, it's people just like you who criticize Drivel101's playing for no reason at all. The only thing I can come up with is that you're just jealous of his talent. =)
You need to write a few songs of your own, go to a record company, and get out a demo cd. That much talent shouldn't be going to waste, how old are you?
simply AMAZING, TELL ME EVERYTHING U ENTIRELY DO TO GET THIS SOUND..I WOULD PAY U TO TELL ME I AM JUST DESPERATE! PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO PLAY LIKE THIS AND HOW U LEARNED TO PLAY LIKE SRV
Oh My gosh!!!! I have mad mad respect for you! My dad is crazed Stevie fan, so I grew up with the blues in my house! Your version of Texas flood is HELLA AWESOME. Give mAD RESPECT TO THIS GUY
Hey man - i posted a comment on your version of rude mood. This is cool - not what i was expecting with the track playing in the background, but entertaining all the same. you have a fantastic ear. i think alot of the guys commenting on here are missing the point - i advise everyone to check out this guy playing rude mood on acoustic! well done mate.
That the shit buddy.. The first two minutes of TF off of the El Mocambo show are probably my favorite licks of all time.. just amazing stuff and you've got it dicked.. Sweet..

Oh for gods sake, I hate when pretentious pricks like dbige23 post bullshit like this. This guy friggin rocks, and you wish you could play this well. Let's see a post of your rendition! thought so.

I'm not a stuck up guitar player that posts his shit on youtube for "fame", I play for fun, and it pisses me off when people think they are awesome because they can copy off of someone elses doings, its like "oh, hey, look I got an a on my math test, but I copied every answer off of the person next to me." CHEATING. I can play Texas Flood like anyone else can, but I don't need to put it on youtube to know that I'm good.
dbige23 4 years ago
Well I see what your saying, I have checked his stuff and have not really seen any original stuff. Either way the guys is still pretty good. I too have playing for about 12 years, and won't post stuff here because I play for fun as well, but I think we shouldn't shoot him down for it.
freeagentxms 4 years ago
I've only been playing for a year and a half, but I can still play that fast and that well. But I like changing that stuff up a little, and making up my own songs, or just jaming to a blues background. And, yes, this guy is good, but I don't know why he posts this.
dbige23 4 years ago
He posts this song to show that someone other than SRV can play it. Somehow I don't believe you can play "that well." Maybe you can prove me wrong but I doubt it...
chevyssuck 4 years ago
your right i can't because i don't have a camera, so whatever
dbige23 4 years ago
if you've only been playing for a year and a half, i doubt you can play as well as this guy. He posts this so people will look at other videos of him, he posts it because he has the freedom to, your just jealous you cant play anything like him

Who else plays "Bad News is Coming" That's an original, but who types the song in and watches it? The only way for an unknown to be seen is to play extremely difficult WELL KNOWN songs extremely well. Get it?
chevyssuck 4 years ago
Lets see if you can CHEAT on this song. Post it. I don't think you will get an "A" as judged by people like you.
chevyssuck 4 years ago
Dbige23, you obviously haven't checked out his other videos. If you want to see him change things up a little, go to Drivel's video entitled "Loan me a dime." Also I think you should check out his other video "The bad nes is comin'" Maybe after you're done checking those out, you'll quit complaining over how he should "change things up."

I really hope you make it big. that's simply incredible. you've got great control over your vibrato and amazing speed mechanics. I can't do that good of a vibrato on two strings with my index finger!

absolutely wonderful, do you have a tab for at the beginning when that hendrix chord fragment segment is played down the neck?

Or is what Karl doing nearly impossible for most people but he is just gifted? Kinda like Stephen Hawking and physics without the physical handicaps? He makes it look so easy like anyone could do it with enough work. Am I wrong?

Out of curiosity, how does one go about learning an advanced song like this note for note? Tabs? That would be like a hundred pages of tabs to learn. By ear and then mimicking? I would have to listen to the song 1,000,000 times, trying to play note by note. Can someone please enlighten me?
teebearpicnic 4 years ago
yeah, uh, i don't think that there is tab out for this song. I think he learns it by ear. thats what I do. I have perfect pitch but I don't think I could see this song all the way through lol
bluesman619 4 years ago
...im giving you 5/5 great guitar playing ... ur missing the 5th gear... maybe even the 4th... Put emotion in ur playing... thats what makes the difference between the really good, and the pros. The pros have the have the emotion+energy+unique appearence+ the way to get the crown on thier feet :D...work on those things, apart from the guitar playing
teodor1010 4 years ago
I think that playing songs note for note is a really good excercise for developing your own style.This helps you develop techniques you may not be able to unlock on your own.You have to have a starting point(Not to mention, it's a great ear training tool.)I think we can all agree that ear training is a good thing.
Clint313 4 years ago
...youre not meant for blues pal... Thats great u can mimick Stevies work... but u can't make something like that from your heart.
teodor1010 4 years ago
I'm not saying that anyone should stick heavily to playing licks note for note, because then you would not be working on getting down your own style. Drivel101 HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM. For he has developed,and is still developing his own style of playing.
Clint313 4 years ago
Also,I agree that Drivel101 shouldn't feel obligated to emote in front of an artificial audience. Asking someone that they should quit ''mimicking'' SRV'slicks is like asking someone to go learn a foreign language without learning and speaking the literature of that language. WELP,I'm done preaching. Have a nice day.

Thanks for your comments, He really is a great Guitarist, if my previous comment came across rude I'm sorry, I should have wrote could you please play it standing up.
columbo1964 5 years ago
Columbo1964, I think you should watch his "Thrill is Gone." He could probably play it standing, AND behind his neck.
chevyssuck 5 years ago
That sounded great but could you play it standing up
columbo1964 5 years ago
Watch his "Here's proof..." video. He stands and plays more difficult srv songs... It should answer your question.

Red House 7, You obviously don't know much about Blues Yourself but he copied lick per lick Stevie's Texas Flood Relased on teh el Macomba dvD and on the Texas Flood Album, so uhh do some research, anyway thats pretty good man keep it up..

Redhouse 7, it's people just like you who criticize Drivel101's playing for no reason at all. The only thing I can come up with is that you're just jealous of his talent. =)

You need to write a few songs of your own, go to a record company, and get out a demo cd. That much talent shouldn't be going to waste, how old are you?

Hey man - i posted a comment on your version of rude mood. This is cool - not what i was expecting with the track playing in the background, but entertaining all the same. you have a fantastic ear. i think alot of the guys commenting on here are missing the point - i advise everyone to check out this guy playing rude mood on acoustic! well done mate.
