@THEBIGKOSTRINSKY Been playing since I was 15 years old, I'm 34 now, thought I heard it all but he shocked me for that 10 seconds. Love the Octavia when he used it. There are some unreleased Austin City Limits videos floating around and he beats the hell out of it in Voodoo Chile. The GREATEST ever...hands down.
@domdangelo ....I've been making mixes of solos where is uses the octavia...i love everything that SRV played but theres something about when he played with it that just sends goosebumps up my spine...every single dam time...theres something spiritual about it i think...or at least thats how it feels...truly inspirational ...mabye more than anything else ive ever heard...those ten seconds i could hear over n over again that octavia screamin piercing my soul one bent note at a time
you can always tell that if the guitar is Charley if the guitar doesnt have a whammy bar and only one tone knob. and i like how he uses his gitar switch alot to change the sound of the guitar, watch at 3:13
@poocrumble well is your advice supposed to be helpful? it's kinda not... I was just hinting at the fact that there are differences to his other guitars that are easier to spot for the beginner. Cheers!
When Stevie past we not only lost him but almost every blues artist he had ever listened to.All of his influences showed through his music.Hendrix,Muddy,Albert, you name it he had it.His fingers transported us back in time. He never ripped any one of them off.He only show us what they had to offer so we too could come to love there music also.The blues needed this man.Without him we might have never got to remember the other greats Thank you Stevie
Some here are complaining about the audio and I'm licking up every crumb that falls from the master. He and that guitar are fused together and foating in thier own balloon up UP and GONE MAN!!
maybe....NO.1 in repair...I read for a long time ago....No,1 was repair....and after some stages,"Red" neck set on No,1 and the neck was broken by Lights at the stage.
So, maybe "the some stages" stevie may use the other Charlie or Red or so.
Red's neck was never on #1, Red's neck was a lefty, during the end, Stevie took the neck off of Scotch and put it on #1, then took the neck off Red and put it on Scotch. And it's "Charley" not Charlie.
Clean and sober and at his best. Saw him on this tour in Boise, Idaho and I'll never forget it. He blew the roof off the place. Best show I'll ever see. Period.
i totally agree and i would say he and only a few other fantastic musicians are in that catagorie and none of the musicians are new either probably the only other one that could even compete with stevie on guitar is jimi and thats saying something
@domdangelo you fit the description of john mayer

So, maybe "the some stages" stevie may use the other Charlie or Red or so.
Or just his mood was "Charlie"....
I think it's possible both of them.

No, it's Charley. If you pause it at 1:22 you can see the headstock with the name.

I have been trying to understand why this has only 2000-odd views, then I see that the only tag on this video is 'blues'!
