Stevie could strangle the neck of a guitar and play it like a percussion instrument like no other. Saw him twice, and watched him run over Jeff Beck's band (which he'd never intend to do, but he was just that good naturally). The man was like a freight train coming at ya' at 100mph.

How was the keyboard player? Talk about a Herbie Hancock fan! You got to take your hat off to SRV. A very open-minded musician. What a loss to music for him to be gone. The only plus is his flame of genius burnt so bright that so many many musicians across the world continue to be inspired by his legacy of music. He can never be forgotten.
You're so lucky man! What was the vibe and energy like when he was playing? Was it really intense?
Also thanks for sharing the story about the records. It's interesting, as I'm only 20, so music has pretty much always been readily available for me, and it's easy to search different bands, so you never really buy blindly like that. Must have made it even more special to just stumble onto SRV like that.
How am I looking for attention by comparing the talent level between Stevie Ray Vaughan (musician) and Justin Bieber ("musician")? I am simply trying to emphasize the talent in this person by marking a time in the video for viewers to reference. I'm not saying those who watch this are incapable of comprehending that talent level. I am just a fan highlighting a great moment in this song + musical history. Good day.
I missed him in Wellington, New Zealand in early'ish-mid 80s- was too young. But listened keenly to the build up and stuff on the radio, AND missed him again in London by about a year in late 1988 by a few months..damn
The only differences in this video is that later on Stevie started using marshalls along with dumbles. His guitar has some vintage danelectro lipstick pickups in it, and he most likely is using a ts9. He also maxxed out the preamp stage of his amp.
GAWDDANG THAT'S A CHUNKY TONE... I've been playing around with different sounds and I really dig SRV's in this song. How would one go about replicating it on guitar?
@deltahotel93 There's a couple things SRV's got working for him: he has thicker strings that the normal 10's, which adds a lot of depth to the sound. Also, he presses really hard on the strings to bring out the pitch. And he was a big fan of Fender Amps, which he played with a high middle tone setting. Try around with some of those ideas, and see which pick up setting you like on your guitar.
@deltahotel93 Well he used 0.13 gauge strings and picked like his hand was Thor's own hammer.
Besides, he used lots of muted notes, neck pickup on a strat with full middle setting on the amp. Give it a try from there and use your feeling to match it!
@mmsun44 ... I saw him in '89, and it was impossible to tell that he and his guitar were not one entity. I've never seen anything like that before, or since... beautiful...♥
@Jackalope40 What a great gift to have seen him. I bought this on tape when I was about 12 or 13 and instantly fell in love with his playing. I never got to see him as he died when I was a sophomore in college but I have seen Kenny Wayne Sheppard about 6 times. He was only 15 when I first saw him in a small club. Had him sign my copy of Family Style and he laughed then proceeded to torch the stage for several hours.
I still cannot accept that he is gone. You can take who you want as your favorite guitarist. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. As for me, there is nobody, and I mean nobody who can make a guitar do what SRV did. The passion. The notes he seems to channel while soloing. The style. The beautiful person that he was will never be replicated in our days. Stevie is simply the best.
Bufffffffffffffffffffff . I can't stop seeing this video. Incredible phrasing and right hand control. I can not believe there are 10 people disliking this song ...
Bufffffffffffffffffffff . I can't stop seeing this video. Incredible phrasing and right hand control. I can not believe there are 10 people disliking this song ...
I saw SRV at a small venue in Rich Va... 6th row,, I was and am still amazed at this guy's talent... RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan... you are sadly missed...
How the F... can you not like SRV if you like guitars in any form or appreciate music. He touches the soul unless you havent got one, maybe thats it the thumbs down crew are soulless zombies?
@koshdman btw, that was a cool fact about Satriani rethinking his musical career just because he heard SRV. Also to add to my other comment which may have been confusing to read, all the band members were good, but SRV was easily and by far the best and the one who put "the band on the map" (quotes were used because the band is not actually on a map as far as I know)
@Sivaks9 I bet alot of people would. Me too! I adore his style of playing. He is, for me, the greatest guitar player that the world has ever seen! I wanna play with him and the other bluesstringers up their in heaven. I wish I could have seen him. But I was born too late...
i love srv 2 death and may his fine soul RIP, but u have 2 give some credit 2 his band. his bassist tommy shannon had a great tone and sense of rhythm as did chris laton his drummer. he could lay down a nice rock solid beat. as 4 the keyboardist, reese wynans, he was pretty damn good 2!
@Chariotz5 His band was fine, but he could have played with anyone. Come to think of it, his Unplugged episode on MTV is still the most popular one that was ever produced, where he played alone and made Joe Satriani rethink playing at all. He made Double Trouble famous, not the other way around.
@koshdman I probably know more than most people my age about SRV and DT, but I know for sure I am not his number 1 fan. I love him but there is probably someone who has been to all his concerts and can play every single one of his songs on a guitar by heart. Me, I don't even own a guitar! I still like his music and other great blues musicians. Point is yeah, you are right, but I'm right too. He did make the band famous but his band members were not bad either!
@Chariotz5 You said it yourself, his bandmembers weren't bad. He was the "Talent". If they were on a level anywhere near as good as SRV, they would have done more after his untimely death. What have they done since that was anywhere near the level they were at when SRV was alive???
Saw SRV 9 times in my life. The best was at a little Polish American Beach Club in Gardner, MA. Amazing! I bought Couldn't Stand the Weather when I was a kid without knowing who he was. we did that as kids back then. Buy a record and see who got the best one, at an actual Record store. I WON! We would watch MTV, or V66 to see the video. Damn, I miss SRV. Thank God for his music!
@thangsaga Seeing SRV was like nothing else. Yeah, he played blues, jazz, and other things, but it was truly a magical experience. I still get goosebumps when I hear his music. Maybe because it brings me back to my younger days. Hearing that amazing tone come from that man, and his guitar at a time when synthesizers, and pop was all the rage makes his story and his music that much better. We need someone like him now to show kids that music isn't Lady Gaga. I hope it happens soon!
Aw man, you went to the polish club! I live near there. I was born in 96' and I was really disappointed when I learned he played in my town and that I missed him by a few years.
Aw man, you went to the polish club! I live near there. I was born in 96' and I was really disappointed when I learned he played in my town and that I missed him by a few years.
@JakekaJ14 IT was by far the best show I ever saw him play. We all were sitting in a mud bowl waiting for the Stray Cats to open the show. They never got there. SRV played a long time. He was in the middle of Come On, when it started to poor rain. They stopped the song and he played Texas Flood. I was watching from 10 rows back, and man it was AWESOME! I always remember, at one point he was playing a wicked jam and the crowd was going nuts. He saw me just watching and smiled. It was amazing
Fergus has a good point. Look at Jeff Beck, for instance. He can use the same gear as a million other guys - a strat or tele plugged into a cranked vintage Marshall, but when he's playing it you can't mistake his tone. The difference there from Beck to a zillion other guys using the same gear is what Beck's hands are contributing to the sound. You can't mistake him for anybody else, despite all the other guys with the exact same gear. Same goes for SRV even if you had his exact rig.
I remember i first heard this when i was about 16, when i first found out who SRV was. It blew me a way and was the best music i'd ever heard, nothing i heard on the radio up to that time was even close to being in the same league as this song, nothing.
@SuperRockgod666 It's all good man. I wish I knew the specifics but if I'm not mistaken he's using a Fender Vibratone unit for the vibrato effect. As for amps, he's probably using cranked-up Fenders and Dumbles.
@slowmonkey156 You can get exactly what stevie had and you wont get the same sound. All of his amps where modded so far you couldnt get half the same sound out of the original. also he had his peddels redone. Even had one of hendrix's wah's.
@fergus1494 True, but my original point was that the equipment doesn't even matter that much. You could have Stevie's exact guitars, amps, and pedals, and you still won't sound like him. Why? Because you're not Stevie Ray Vaughan. HANDS create the tone, equipment just colors it.
@slowmonkey156 I have been obsessed with playing a few songs by Stevie Ray and my versions sound like crap and heard other attempts and they don't far much better. Its not about speed, precision or technique - its way, way past that. What makes him a genius, in a class of his own, is the beat, the sense of rhythm and swing that he had; something that no Vai or Satriani can match or even come close to. That's what makes him truly original, truly exceptional. His death was a great loss.
@waltersmetak Well said. Stevie did play with a great sense of "swing", as you put it. He just had a...I don't know, a "feel" that no one else had. One of the markers of a truly gifted musician is when you can hear them "feeling" the music as they play it. Stevie had that in spades, man. In spades. Keep listening to good music, brother.
@o56kid he uses 2 guitars during the song but the first one is pretty much stock with texas style pickups and the second is named Charley which is a strat with Danlectro lipstick pickups
He seriously looks like he's swimming those damn clothes! Only he could pull that off haha; Clapton wore suits like that also but they both look silly as hell.. yet they somehow pull it off hahah; it's the talent!
@surfer1211 I disagree 100% him, clapton, and jimi wore sick ass clothes, oh jimmy page wore some pretty groovy shit to. People dress different and are judged by it cause of mainstream bullshit.. not cool
Dude, obviously I'm not serious. He honestly does look pretty funny in that suit; mainly because it's way too big on him, check him out from the El Mocambo show or Austin City Limits where he's rockin' shit his size. Regardless, it's not like I base how much I like him off of what he wears.. He could be wearing a spacesuit and I really wouldn't care; I was pretty much just making a joke man..
That grit in his voice during this song is just so powerful; especially in the first few lyrics of the first two verses, like those first line or two of each verse just have some mean rasp. It just goes to show how his playing wasn't his only weapon when it came to performing. John Mayer described him spot on,"...very few guitar players make it to the house wife contingency, and Stevie Ray Vaughan did, and its a testament to the triple threat of his voice, his guitar playing, and his tunes."
Great song, exceptional performance!!! This gushes out tons of passion & everybody's just tearin' it up!!! Fuckin' well-oiled machine right here!!! Thanks.

@slowmonkey156 I have been obsessed with playing a few songs by Stevie Ray and my versions sound like crap and heard other attempts and they don't far much better. Its not about speed, precision or technique - its way, way past that. What makes him a genius, in a class of his own, is the beat, the sense of rhythm and swing that he had; something that no Vai or Satriani can match or even come close to. That's what makes him truly original, truly exceptional. His death was a great loss.

@waltersmetak Well said. Stevie did play with a great sense of "swing", as you put it. He just had a...I don't know, a "feel" that no one else had. One of the markers of a truly gifted musician is when you can hear them "feeling" the music as they play it. Stevie had that in spades, man. In spades. Keep listening to good music, brother.

@surfer1211 I disagree 100% him, clapton, and jimi wore sick ass clothes, oh jimmy page wore some pretty groovy shit to. People dress different and are judged by it cause of mainstream bullshit.. not cool

Dude, obviously I'm not serious. He honestly does look pretty funny in that suit; mainly because it's way too big on him, check him out from the El Mocambo show or Austin City Limits where he's rockin' shit his size. Regardless, it's not like I base how much I like him off of what he wears.. He could be wearing a spacesuit and I really wouldn't care; I was pretty much just making a joke man..

That grit in his voice during this song is just so powerful; especially in the first few lyrics of the first two verses, like those first line or two of each verse just have some mean rasp. It just goes to show how his playing wasn't his only weapon when it came to performing. John Mayer described him spot on,"...very few guitar players make it to the house wife contingency, and Stevie Ray Vaughan did, and its a testament to the triple threat of his voice, his guitar playing, and his tunes."
