@kvnshafer Although I think he's a little off in his info, I think he was saying that SRV was so good that he could have played out of any setup and still sounded like the guitar god that he was and is.
really loving your thick monster tone , yeah right and by the way SRV used 14's not 12's. you have no qualifications to be teaching guitar to anyone how did you get this gig?
@lespaul72 Stevie would most commonly use .013, .015, .019, .028, .038, .058.
13s on the e strings and 12s in the middle. And he would vary between 13s and 11s on the high; and between 58 and 56 on the low. So really the most correct set of string gauge he used was 12s.
Tone isn't in your hands!!!! Your style is in your hands guitars create tone that's why so many guitarist are very intricate with woods dumbass!!!! Omg!!! are you serious? 11s!!!! Not even this guy knows nothing about guitars!!! Heavier gauges don't need high action! Stevie play only 13s!!! 12 IS Standard for acoustics and 10s are standard for electrics!!!! This guy is a FUCKING IDIOT!!!
he best advive I have for hose wo want to learn stevies style s to lean you scales, learn you r chords, watch some stevie ray videos and play out at a jam...get you as kicked around by people who know more than you and listen to his recordsr and ead his inteviews....It will ake you uch further than some dude clamning to sell)ell you how t.o play like stevie
I'm sorry bro you tone sounded nothing like stevie, your grove...I hAvenever heard him play that groove? was it cold shot?.Ther isone guy on youtube you canclaim anything closeto stevie. It would be nice to hear someone say this is my approach.but to claim to know stevies method is missleading. The strange thing is you want to see people join a ite......Stevie didnt start with 11's lor 12's then at te end he went down to....what 9's or 1o.s man your information s off an you want me to pay? I
Tone most certainly is in your hands. To claim otherwise does nothing but expose ignorance. Children should be seen and not heard. You have nothing intelligent to contribute.
you have the style man, but u need to have a little more deeper tone, im not going to be an asshole though and say you suck i see alot of negative comments. personally mines constructive critisism.
Thanks for the tips. This fellow might have been able to say everything in 10 seconds, but then he could have also chosen not to say anything at all. I like this video. Thanks for putting it up.
Tone may be in your hands, and how you play, but if you think SRV didnt spend alot of time picking his equipment specifically for its own sound, youre dumb.
This is a very smart video,i dont know what everyone complains about? i started playing at 13 and custom orderd 12 gauge sets and used a #13 high E i was always strong and the #12 worked for me..and your attack is where your tone will come from like he says..and keep plenty of super glue around...i use it to keep my finger nails attached to my fingers.
I can't play a lick (hahaha) but have been to this website as a "wanna-be". My former roomies band played out 2 nites a week and wouldn't discuss how they did what they did...not in this kind of way. I played sports at a fairly high level, not guitar, so it seems to me that if you don't play you wouldn't get it. This dispells that crap...not that I am gonna play now, but thanks for helping me understand the game better.
Using a legends name to get your crappy playing heard? Well, you know what they say... 'those who can't do, teach'... true true, BUT wasssappp with this dork?? As Walter would say, "Get a life, dumbass!"
If you guys are really interested in this kind of thick sound SRV had, I found that using your picking hand around the neck pickup and really close to the fretboard makes a huge difference.
If your going to talk about it you should know what your talking about. Your playing does not show it. If you want to get closer to those monster techniques... you need to practice more.... ( kindly )
Which Stevie Ray Vaughan song are you trying to copy? I'm perplexed. I heard nothing that sounded like Stevie Ray Vaughan at all ! No disrespect. You speak like an expert ( or try ) but it comes out comical. Too much talk and no examples. Show me. The riff you played .... what band did it come from? This was not Stevie's at all
6. as he said stevie did use the neck pickup on his songs but sometimes he would use the bridge pickup for the sky is crying, and tightrope, pride and joy things like that.
7.As he said tune your guitar down a half step stevie did it mainly for bending but if you dont do it you wont get his tone as easily.
8. He also did very strong vibratos very hard i guess you can say.
9. I belive I covered all of the the basics.
10. if you want to get the stevie tone then use fender texas specials pickups
acually he is wrong about the string gauge the highest gauge stevie ray ever used was a pair of 18s he only used them on stage once. he generally used 14s or 12s but sometimes he would use 9s when his fingers got real beat up. keep in mind for our comfort dont use anything over 11s unless you have large frets on your strat. I mean really large.
Okay heres how you play like him short and simple.
1. stevie did alot of hard picking
2. He used fender tube amps with the volume up a good deal most of the time
3.On top of that he also used a vintage ibanez tube screamer alot of the time you can hear him kick it in for his solos
4. He used heavy gauge strings but 10s will work just fine. If you want to use heavy gauge strings what you should do is refret your guitar with 6105 bass frets thats what stevie used.
Ugh. More foolish to make the video or more foolish to watch the whole thing when @ 1:31 in you can tell that he's not just incapable of playing in the style of SRV but he wouldn't know tone if it took physical shape and smacked him upside the head.
God I suck at guitar and even I know the difference between style and tone. Anybody who watches the whole thing never heard SRV or enjoys pain.
this guy's a dumb dumb. he has no idea what the fuck TONE means. He just came up with his own definition. If he played my guitar with my amp and let me fuck with the levels he damn sure wouldn't be able to play with a SRV tone... idiot
No offense to your guitar skills bro cuz I respect any musician who is trying to jam, but nothing you do has anything to do with SRV or his style of playing.

Some great tips on string gauge here - I always practice on my acoustic strung with 12s so when I plug in my Strat strung with 10s, I can really let loose!
I thought this was very informative, and "Tone is in the fingers" is true, but some people misunderstand it. "Tone" in the sense of a style, bends, scrapes, attack, vibrato, etc IS in the fingers, and SRV or EHV would sound like themselves through anything, but the other half of "tone" is the gear, and SRV playing an Epi SG bolt-on through a crate SS would sound like SRV, but not as sweet. Overall, good info, Dave. Folks need to understand this is an information video about approach, not playing
i have a fender custom shop players deluxe and countless vintage and modern amps an pedals and i still sound like shite lol tone is in your finger tone is in your soul
for god sakes srv did not play 13's dumasses he had a 13
he played 13 15 19 28 38 58 thats not a 13 guage set a 13 is unreasonably big and actually takes away from tone all he was saying is that srv could sound like srv i bet you it wouldnt matter what he played it would sound like srv pure badass
so ur saying that SRV could plug into a Marshall JCM 800 with a Jackson RX10D and still get that tone? And that EVH could plug into a Fender Frontman with a Squier Bullet and still get that tone? hmmmm.
BTW, SRV PLAYED UP MOSTLY 13'S, NOT JUST "UP TO" 12. 12 WAS THIN FOR HIM.

My mind and ears could not cope with part 2 , sorry but im going to need to lay down in a dark room for an hour before i move onto part 2 . This guy should deffo consider a career in double glazing sales , he would be very very good!!
this guy seriously needs to shut his fucking mouth and just play. also, that attempt to play SRV's "cold shot" at the beginning was absolutely horrible.
it should have the same. i just looked at my strat and looked at a jay turser strat at guitar center and they both have the same size alan wrench hole.
Super glueing your callouses is amazing! Not risky at all, just don't over apply it. A small drop on the roughest part of your finger tip is plenty and make sure you let it dry for at least 15 minutes before playing!
I wasn't trying to do anything, I was just saying it does work. And what possible threats could it pose anyway? Unless you eat the stuff it's practically harmless.
Everything this guy said could have been said in (generously even) less than one fifth the time. He repeats himself over and over. His playing, (what little he did), was to much on top of the beat; Stevie played more behind the beat... sort of like, 'chill' on steroids. LESS TALK MORE TECHNIQUE
Yes I admit it too that he talks a lot in this video and he is making a lot of publicity to that website but if you really pay attention to what he is saying you might find new and really really useful information.
Hello David, I am sorry to say, but the way you are playing Stevie is definitely not as it's supposed to be. You are not playing laid back. Your timing is too straight forward or more precisely said you are running off the beat. which definitely kills the groove of this vamp. Sorry David but a Drumcomputer would help a lot. Please check your timing first before publishing. Sorry! And please don't talk (too much) just teach.
This guy is wrong. SRV or EVH could plug any guitar into any amp and still sound like themselves (style, playing abilities). But their tone comes from their amps, guitars, pickups etc. SRV on a shitty guitar running through a shitty amplifier would sound like a great guitar player playing a shitty guitar through a shitty amplifier.
i get your point, but i do agree that some tone is in your hands for example, stevie ray had a very agressive and hard picking attack which gave him that edgy sound an a thick tone, but he also used the rounded edge of a pick which caused the pick to glide across the strings, keeping his attack smooth and under control. but i will agree that the texas specials and fender tube amps do make up the bulk of his tone
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
David. Just in case obody has mentioned it yet. SRV didn´t modify his guitar he just tuned the whole instrument 1 step down. Like Hendrix did. Because on this aspect of tone, Vaughn learned from Hendrix.
I agree with the any guitar statement, and the style of attack, however a must is a GREAT AMP, such as dumble like SRV. Now I know only a select few can have a dumble, but a good tube will go a long way to great tone.
Does anyone know how the Tex-Mex pickups compare? I have a Jimmie Vaughan strat and wonder if I can get away with a string/set-up job to get a closer Stevie tone.
tex-mex are actually badass pickups with a high output. I have an orig '54 that needed the neck/middle re-wound so instead fender installed thoes in it after trying several other CS pickups. The thing RIPPS!!!
thick strings are hard to play but it is another dimension of sound.
I have now on my Ibanez V300 ('78) the thickest strings I could get. It blows up the guitar in every way. Louder, more groove, bass and briliance and incredible harmonic and overtones. I enyoi it know and have to play every day - I need it!!!
PS: My fingers are now fit after playing about 4 hours every day! It tooks nearly a week for to be able to play without pain - lol
i started on gauge 11's, i never knew anything about the guitar and the stuff and the 11's ripped my fingers to shreds. learned my lesson and now use 9's
tone is in your hands. Yeah thats why artists insist on a specific amp with specific tubes, speakers, picks, cables, pickups, pedlas and on and on What a bunch of hooyey
MR.666HAMMER -YES.!!! THEY GET FIRST DIBS ON IT ALL . D.O.D.-DISTORTION PHASER OVERDRIVE - FLANGER WAH-WAH( cry baby #1 ) in regards to video i use 9`s D`markly lites. AND SURE ALL!!!!

this guy seriously needs to shut his fucking mouth and just play. also, that attempt to play SRV's "cold shot" at the beginning was absolutely horrible.

Funny, I use super glue all of the time, not from playing my guitar but for cracked cuticles, cuts etc.. Works great!

Nice rant about tone! Talking about hands and strings instead of voodoo about amp setup, special speaker cabinet wiring or the ultimate fx box.
Super glue hint is weird - it might cause injuries if not done properly!
The 2-coil-position usually prevents hum - or at least, the guitar electronics could be set up to do that.
Zawiedek 1 year ago
Super glueing your callouses is amazing! Not risky at all, just don't over apply it. A small drop on the roughest part of your finger tip is plenty and make sure you let it dry for at least 15 minutes before playing!

I don't think your reply rebuts my statement - though you do not find it risky, it still might cause injuries.
BTW: All-in-all, I do like the tutorial!
Zawiedek 1 year ago
I wasn't trying to do anything, I was just saying it does work. And what possible threats could it pose anyway? Unless you eat the stuff it's practically harmless.

you need heavier strings to get the sound

SRV also used Fender Texas Special pickups which made his sound to have even more character.

SRV used 13 gauge strings. Too much talking man... this video doesn't need to go for 9 minutes there's 100 videos covering this stuff
intheblues 2 years ago
Everything this guy said could have been said in (generously even) less than one fifth the time. He repeats himself over and over. His playing, (what little he did), was to much on top of the beat; Stevie played more behind the beat... sort of like, 'chill' on steroids. LESS TALK MORE TECHNIQUE

Yes I admit it too that he talks a lot in this video and he is making a lot of publicity to that website but if you really pay attention to what he is saying you might find new and really really useful information.

Hello David, I am sorry to say, but the way you are playing Stevie is definitely not as it's supposed to be. You are not playing laid back. Your timing is too straight forward or more precisely said you are running off the beat. which definitely kills the groove of this vamp. Sorry David but a Drumcomputer would help a lot. Please check your timing first before publishing. Sorry! And please don't talk (too much) just teach.

I would kill myself if this guy would be the combination of B.B. King, Stevie Ray, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani and Gary Moore.
This is a real insult for those great musicians.

This guy is wrong. SRV or EVH could plug any guitar into any amp and still sound like themselves (style, playing abilities). But their tone comes from their amps, guitars, pickups etc. SRV on a shitty guitar running through a shitty amplifier would sound like a great guitar player playing a shitty guitar through a shitty amplifier.

bc12058 2 years ago
i get your point, but i do agree that some tone is in your hands for example, stevie ray had a very agressive and hard picking attack which gave him that edgy sound an a thick tone, but he also used the rounded edge of a pick which caused the pick to glide across the strings, keeping his attack smooth and under control. but i will agree that the texas specials and fender tube amps do make up the bulk of his tone

David. Just in case obody has mentioned it yet. SRV didn´t modify his guitar he just tuned the whole instrument 1 step down. Like Hendrix did. Because on this aspect of tone, Vaughn learned from Hendrix.

He tuned down half a step, not a whole, usually

I agree with the any guitar statement, and the style of attack, however a must is a GREAT AMP, such as dumble like SRV. Now I know only a select few can have a dumble, but a good tube will go a long way to great tone.

Does anyone know how the Tex-Mex pickups compare? I have a Jimmie Vaughan strat and wonder if I can get away with a string/set-up job to get a closer Stevie tone.

tex-mex are actually badass pickups with a high output. I have an orig '54 that needed the neck/middle re-wound so instead fender installed thoes in it after trying several other CS pickups. The thing RIPPS!!!

thick strings are hard to play but it is another dimension of sound.
I have now on my Ibanez V300 ('78) the thickest strings I could get. It blows up the guitar in every way. Louder, more groove, bass and briliance and incredible harmonic and overtones. I enyoi it know and have to play every day - I need it!!!
PS: My fingers are now fit after playing about 4 hours every day! It tooks nearly a week for to be able to play without pain - lol
