  • Wow..

  • ok.but it still sux

    

  • is this on an album?

  • mtv unplugged, had it on vcr just amazing

  • @Revrendrock VHS

    

  • this is amazing

  • 1:48 no one could play that solo and not miss a single note except for stevie

  • where did this recording come from?

  • a 12 sting wow one reason why he is considered the greatest of all time

  • this makes my ears happy

  • seeing him on guitar makes me hate being a drummer!

  • @dmay18r6 seeing him on guitar makes me stick to being a drummer!!

  • I hope that guitar is still played to this day... for him.

  • I'm thirteen listen to SRV, Ozzy, Black sabbath, GNR, and AC/DC. I play all of those band's songs on guitar. I'll never be as good as Stevie though.

  • @brandingm3 cool story bro

  • I wish there were more recordings of just SRV and an acoustic guitar....he is surely rockin up in heaven though!

  • "I'd like to dedicate this to my 1963 Fender Stratocaster" -SRV

  • Comment removed

  • WHY DO ALL THE GREATS DIE YOUNG.

  • @TR1PLES1CX - "The star that shines twice as bright, lives half as long."

  • @ fmg182

    Well, than why don't you just watch the video instead of crying like a little girl about everyone else's comments..

  • Chills.

  • If you haven't already search Joanne Shaw Taylor - very big SRV fan, big influence of hers and really good young guitarist =)

  • MTV unplugged?? I never knew MTV played music

  • "Boo!"

    -Robert Johnson

  • The best

  • The guitar he is playing belonged to a friend of mine who was SRV's assistant. Stevie liked it because it was like the one Hendrix used on the cover of the lp Jimi Hendrix film. Stevie played it so hard that he broke the neck on it too many times and his tech was unable to repair it , so they ended up donating it to the Dallas Hard Rock Cafe. I do not think they have it on display anymore in Dallas since they tore down the original building on Mckinney ave.

  • @TXMusiciansMuseum nobody cares, you look like a bitch who only wants attention. All of us came to this vid. just to (watch and) listen to SRV. So fuck off with your fancy details and knowledge.

  • Mother fuck the fuck out of mother fuckin helicopters..... .....mother fuckers

  • i couldnt do this and sing

  • With a 12 string folks. For those that know acoustics, that takes some trained hands.

  • @andros1984 That takes some bone-crushing finger strength. I mean he played with .13 gauge strings but a 12-string acoustic is something else man. SRV is a legend

  • do you people have any idea how hard it is to do those bends on a 12 string acoustic!? holy stinking flying cow shit! SRV IS AMAZING!

  • This is the reason i bought a Guild 12 string!!!

  • Dude! with a twelve string! This is Awesome :)

  • q buen videoo locoo LA VERDA EL MEJOR...

  • I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the 1980's when there was good music like this to listen to and MTV actually played music. That's right! MTV did stand for music television. Now it stands for miserable television. Kids today have no idea what good music is. They think good music is Katy Perry and Justin Beiber

    Stevie Ray is the best electric blues rock guitarists EVER. He has inspired me to learn guitar and if I can get to play 1% as good as he I will be able to die happy

  • What sets SRV apart? Passion, filling every note with everything in one's heart and soul.

  • RIP WE LOVE YOU SRV!!!!!

  • srv as a man, I find inspiration in many of the songs that you sung at Concord Privillian every year.I still miss every day that you're gone and not playing music. Love you with all my heart. -Dave Martin

  • Happy birthday SRV

  • i've listened to srv since i was knee high to a grass hopper and though i have searched and searched i haven't found anything close the talent he possessed in one hand in any performer since him. they may good at what they do, but stevie and his music are the epitome of class and power. with such a small amount of time, in my opinion, he changed the music world forever.

  • I'm so crazy about this kind of music,when i go to school and i hear everybody listening to lady gaga,justin bieber etc. it me wanna kill them !!!!!!!!!

  • what a great performance by SRV! i wanna play 12 string like that haha

  • thanks for posting this - I play 12 string too, but only wish I could come close to playing like him ;D

  • stevie ray was the fucking man

  • Well I guess I'm the only from entire school that listen to SRV,BB King etc.

  • the man does not get enough credit for his singing. He could have been a front man without the guitar. so needless to say with the guitar...forget it. Just the best.

  • one of my faverites

  • fuck helicopters

  • I like to think Stevie Ray Vaughn will have a second coming when the world is actually ready for his awesomeness.

  • @YouCanCallMeCharlz like jesus??? oh wait stevies better so he better come first !!!! lol

  • C'est encore plus génial en acoustique !!

    BigBluesMama §:-)

  • This version sounds like hes sitting in the next room or something.. Amazing player..

  • God I miss him.

  • Hard to believe it's been 21 yrs ago today that we lost Stevie Ray. Rock on in heaven bro!

  • @woodfam66 also weird that today, right now i had the weird urge to listen to stevie ray vaughan

  • dude SRV is the only one who could make the worlds greatest classical guitarists go "how the fuck does he hammer on a 12 string so many times so easy??!!?!" lol

  • @MrBramDorper Santana, like SRV and Jimmy Hendrix, has a style that is instantly recognizable. Santana has lost some of his virtuousity with age but his soul still comes screaming through his playing of every song. So yes, Santana .... really. Santana's Marathon album is one that should be checked out for more of a "rock" sound.

  • check out my electric cover of this song please

  • @MrBramDorper hes quite a decent guitar player

  • the world would simply combust if SRV hendrix and carlos santana were playing together the earth couldnt handle that level of awesomeness

  • If stevie played thick gauges on electric guitar what do you think those babies are?

  • @movieuhguy Just as thick if not even thicker! I have to find the link I have on my computer somewhere, but Stevie broke the neck on this guitar sometime after this performance because his hands are THAT strong! MINDBLOWING just thinking about it!!

  • You can hear a few of my guitar influences in my LavaSmokeChile Jam. Stevie comes through loud and clear in my (his?) opening riff. Feel free to check it out and drop me a line! Thank God that Stevie had a chance to spread his music and philosophies throughout the world . . .

  • SRV is the MAN !!!!! 

  • My video response is a collage of licks that I've incorporated into one composition. The reason why I feature it here is because the opening guitar part is similar to the guitar riff that Stevie uses in Pride and Joy. Although it isn't "acoustic" I chose to post my video here because the electric Youtube video has too many video responses!

  • only a sweet girl like me (lol) could fantasize about a dream-boat singing a love song for his girl that strongly. if only there were more Stevie's in the world =) tehehehe

  • Blues legend....

  • 1:48 Go Stevie Go!!! :D

  • a lot of ppl don't even register his voice, cuz he's numero juan...SRV was a fine chanter of a sawng...eg: Life without you, Uk import ...the quadruple album...

  • pride and joy with 12 strings or you're crazy or you're stevie ;)

  • HAHA! I was playing a guild 12-string guitar the other day playing this song... then, i saw the video and was like "holy crap! i played the same song and same style guitar as him and didn't know he did it until now"! great minds think alike! haha

  • Ahh... Stevie playing some awesome 12- string acoustic....it don't get better than that. He was amazing.

  • LOVING THIS SONG AND STEVIE RAY

  • taken way before his time like most of the greats imagine what he coulda done with anoother 20 years under his belt

  • Music can be subjective, but still you can tell what is good and what is bad!!!

  • SRV y su música iluminan el alma.

  • Yet another masterful piece by SRV. I can't believe this was only a few months before Stevie died

  • this song is what love is all about!!!!! and it has awesome guitar's in it sweet!!!!

  • I'm probably the only person commenting who is a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan AND Justin Bieber.

    If it weren't for Hanson and the Backstreet Boys when I was growing up in the 90's, I probably wouldn't have much interest in music. My taste only grew into something deep and complex, because it progressed and developed based on simpler tastes. Even now, I'll flick from David Bowie to The Living End to Snoop Dogg and back to Led Zeppelin. Music is music, there isn't good or bad. It's all subjective.

  • @jkeeversphone amen brother

  • Check out Stevie on "First we take manhattan" the Jennifer Warnes version, makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up!

  • Stevie is the hands down all-time greatest guitarist. Im 24 and i was raised on stevie. RIP

  • We miss you man!

  • The day Stevie died, I sat in my room, staring at his poster on the wall, and drank myself stupid....he was a guitar god. RIP SRV!

  • Anyone who dislikes this has no taste in music at all.

  • @AndreaDeRegis MTV unplugged. I think in 1990

  • wow.

    i cant even play it on a electric 6 string

  • @pipsqueek14 Well to be honest anyone who can play guitar can play a 12 string. But its really impossible to master a 12 stringer like it seems he and Jimmy Page have.

  • @jimbob32292 yeah but playing on a acoutic guitar is a little harder cause the strings are usually a little thicker. and playing this kind of music is also pretty hard on a 12 string.

  • @pipsqueek14 Well its all about experience man. To be honest yes acoustic strings are thicker and harder also a reason for that is because they are bronze instead of nickel. But you got to also remember Stairway was played on a 12 string, which is one of the best chord progressing songs of all time. I'm just saying all the guitar gods can go from a 12 to a 6 to a 7 to an 8 string if they wanted and pretty easily. Especially guys like this.

  • @jimbob32292 yeah. its just a little trickyer

  • @pipsqueek14 the thing i preferably love about the acoustic, and this proves it, you really can hide your mistakes on an electric behind distortion. On an acoustic, especially 12 strings, the fretboard doesnt bend as easily, and you have to make sure each of your notes sound individualy, or else it sounds like shit

  • @nofxrulez1 yup. youre right

  • @nofxrulez1 However he's a madman.. Playing with 13 gauges, and at a point in time 18 gauge for his High E! No doubt he's crushing finger strength allows this to contain all the "essence" of what he needs.

  • @BkkCheesepie Yeah but it was part of his sound. A thicker strings has more substance i.e. more tone to give to the pickup and the to the audience.

  • @BkkCheesepie Yeah he played with 13's but always tuned down half a step making them more like 12's. But still...god damn lol using heavy jazz type strings to play blues like that...incredible

  • clapton can kiss my ass, he had NOTHING on stevie!!! RIP.........

  • i fell honored to be able to pass this type of music on when i have kids like my dad did, so they know what music really is when done right. live on stevie ray, live on.

  • 21 people have no clue

  • he IS the blues

  • I think it was satriani that followed him this was the opening act and I love satriani but you could see the look of HTF do I follow that WTF

  • him and hendrix r the only 2 that make me stop and just say how the fuck r they that good

  • SRV > Clapton

  • his voice is the best ive ever heard live oh and his guitar skills are fucking amazing

  • Cómo tocaba este tipo, por dios!!! Nunca me cansaré de escuchar a este monstruo de la guitarra, del blues, de la música.

    A mi es el tipo que más me gusta como guitarrista de todos los que he visto hasta ahora.

  • 21 people tried but failed the 12 strings

  • Rudemood I am 13 and the best bands to me is 1- rush,2- stevie ray Vaughn,3-foreigner, pop sucks tits I am a musician I've been playing guitar for 8 years and I was inspired by the classical rock and blues. People keep bothering me why I don't like modern music well the answer to that question is... Watch Stevie ray Vaughn

  • Another legend lost to the gods,RIP stevie, his time on earth was short lived but the sounds will live on, to the up and coming learners of today so you begginers feel the soul, when your conffident let it rip and see what you come up with. This man here has a really hard hand shake .Thats why 010s is his favorite strings

  • i was very lucky to be at this taping which also included Satriani's Unplugged taping. i sat about five feet from Stevie on his left. over the years i was even luckier to have had the ability to follow his tour around the East Coast for several years, culminating in his last show for me at Jones beach in NY. He has touched me like no other musician ever has and he is sorely missed. Havent seen Bonnamassa yet but I hear he is close.

  • This guy was just ridiculous. He would put to shame every guitar hero of today. This music grabs ne from the guts and I cant do anything about it....

  • This guy was just so ridiculous. He would put to shame every guitar hero of today. This music grabs ne from the guts and I cant do anything about it....

  • you can hear his rings clash against the guitar. great show!

  • wow... I remember being blown away by this... 12 string played like a simple 6 string.  Awesome yet makes me want to throw my guitar away at the same time! :)

  • PURE LEGEND

  • I'm his sweet little thing, and he;s my little lover boy !!

  • I would sell my soul to the devil to be able to play guitar this well!

  • I absolutely love this song! it reminds me of my Dad, Stevie died when I was 2, Never got the actual chance to see him perform. But I feel like I was sort of at one of his concerts since my Dad took my Mom to one when she was pregnant with me. lol

  • I remember exactly where and when I first heard Stevie. In fact, I remember which way I was facing in my singer's room when he put it on the turntable. It was incredible, and it had a permanent effect on the way I feel about music. Back then, there was a tangible danger that fake dance-shit would just take over, and the idea of releasing a roots blues album was career suicide.

    Sound familiar? Good; make some heartfelt music and fight back. :)

  • im glad i dont have to pay to watch this clip because id be broke by now

  • My most favorite piece of music.....love it!

  • I agree zeLudoo, undeniable proof that tone's in the fingers.

  • I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the 1980's when there was good music like this to listen to and MTV actually played music. That's right! MTV did stand for music television. Now it stands for miserable television. Kids today have no idea what good music is. They think good music is Katy Perry and Justin Beiber

    Stevie Ray is the best electric blues rock guitarists EVER. He has inspired me to learn guitar and if I can get to play 1% as good as he I will be able to die happy

  • Without question, SRV is my guitar hero.

    I miss him every day, every time I play on my guitar.

  • @rudemood2011 dude like really not everyone likes them the majority might but there is still a HUGE ammount of rock fans

  • @rudemood2011 i sometimes wish i was growin up in the 80s as well,.. I LOVE rock !!!!!!! and im 15. Van Halen is my favorite band,..i wish i could marry Eddie Van Halen.

  • @rudemood2011 You should really be more careful when making such a broad accusation such as the one u made about every kid and their music. I'm 17 and I'm here, aren't I? Every single one of my friends listens to this.

  • @rudemood2011 you lucky bastard, you grew up in the 80s. I am so jealous. I was born way to late

  • @rudemood2011 Yeah well not all kids think good music is Katy Perry and Justin Beiber. Here's one that loves blues, country, rock, jazz and actually everything that's old and played with real instruments. But you're right. Lot's people my age consider computer-technic stuff as music. A pity, because this is good!

  • @rudemood2011 And what's more - Stevie, God bless his soul, had such a generous spirit that he would encourage you to surpass him. It's all about the music for the real musicians out there; not only is he a master at what he does, he redefined the power blues. And if you think about it: he had such flawless technique and style, that he would put most shredders today to shame - him - a BLUESMAN!

  • @DanteGuitar And that's the thing right there - a good deal of people who spend time learning the guitar can shred, but it takes real emotion to convey the blues.

    Stevie was taken WAY too early.

  • @MrCarbohydrate79 You can't teach soul like that. Take Guthrie Govan - one of my heroes - that man can play ANYTHING to throw at him, but he could never ever play Stevie with the same passion and intensity, even though he can nail it down to the intonation, inflexions, etc. Check that, NOBODY can fucking play Stevie, he used strings so thick you'd cut yourself by looking at them. I wonder if he snapped strings AFTER he changed gauges to ".ridiculous". 

  • @rudemood2011 ....amen... he will allways live...

  • @rudemood2011 I agree whole heartedly. I'm 19 and coming through High school was rough for me, cuz every time we went anywhere it was always lady gaga and shit like that that we listened to. When I finally got my license it was my turn, so we listened to SRV, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Muddy Waters, BB King, and Buddy Guy. Needless to say, not too many people continued to ride with me to the party.lol

  • @rudemood2011 it drives me nuts, im 17 and all of my friends listen to shitty rap and dubstep :/

  • @rudemood2011

    Not all kids, give us some credit, i'm 15 and eat sleep and breathe SRV.

  • @austinw17 haha... i'm 11 and i play SRV. he and Jimi are my biggest influances...;-)

  • @austinw17 same here buddy i grew up to this music an di love it

  • @austinw17 stevie is great but look back at what came before him to find out how he learned to do this...and youll will be rewarded

  • @rudemood2011 "stevie ray is the best EVER" ... You're able to have your personal opinion, but that does not make it a fact. You blind fanatics have to stop stating OPINIONS as FACTS. I for one love SRV, however its ONLY a personal preference. It changes from people to people and if you believe for even a second that YOUR TASTE is "the right" then you sir have no education whatsoever. Stating that you're right, means everyone else's wrong. This said, you have no respect towards other people.

  • @Taikamya SRV is the best EVER!!!!!! That's why my comment has 95 votes up. It did have 96 until you voted it down but that's ok becuase you're a idiot

  • @rudemood2011 i dont think anyone with a sense of music likes katy perry or justin beiber. there fucking gay

  • @ilikefooooooood agreed!

  • @rudemood2011 im 15 and i turned some of my friends on to stevie ray

  • @Sly6035 let me introduce you , the jimi hendrix experience watch?v=it9sfoxVNAA

  • @looksik ik who that is all i listen to is this music i listen to nothing new at all

  • @looksik i know who that is all i listen to is this music nothing new

  • Rest in peace Stevie, you will be missed greatly.

  • jesus, that makes me feel insecure about my guitar playing.

  • ( . Y . )

  • @lambonastickdead ( . Y o )

  • @RR5GUITAR (oY0)

  • @RR5GUITAR ( o Y 0 )

  • ive been learnin this song bit by bit lately, this video almost made me want to give up.... almost... that song is too freakin fun to play!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • absolutely amazing. if you don't like SRV, you don't like music. check out the vids for Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan In Session.

  • oomph.

  • why is there a justin beiber on every video? seriously what the fuck. when a comment about justin bieber is on a 1990 acoustic stevie ray vaughan video its time to stop. all you naive people are doing is spreading the word about him, so fuckwits will look up videos of him and further propel is youtube views higher than this video. if you idiots cant work this out for yourself, im starting to think you guys work for that stupid kid. shut the fuck up give it a fucking rest...

  • I'm with Mikka !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • to the people who disliked this FUCK YOU

  • best blues/rock player that ever lived

  • Stevie Ray Vaughn: my point of reference when people poke fun of my soul patch

  • Even on an acoustic guitar he got a Stratocaster sound. Haha :D

  • @zeLudoo no?

  • @zeLudoo The Stratocaster is not Stevie, Stevie is the Stratocaster!!

  • @zeLudoo Dude that is the Steviecaster sound.

  • @zeLudoo The point is, that he had always beaten the strings and not just scratched them. Every stroke got its power. Same result if you listen to ACDC stuff. If you wanna get there than you have to give all necessary power to every single note you're playin. That's what he did.

  • @tomtomomelley Yeah, I know bro ;) It was for the joke ;p

  • @zeLudoo Awesome comment, absolutely awesome comment. Respekt.

  • I wonder if folks can appreciate how difficult it was to play that song on an acoustic. Stevie was the best..
