Giddy films, Thanks for giving me the lyrics to what Stevie says "southside of Chicago will think of him often" It was clear after you gave me the words ...duh. Love Stevie Ray and the guy with the frank zappa comment...well this is out if your league so go listen to franh smoke somethig and eat a sandwich, no one wants you here and if you din't like the song,don't listen.
@chkurhead1 Maybe he needed to hear the song before he decided if he liked it? Fucking YouTube culture "If you don't like it don't listen" how do we know? What's wrong with a negative comment anyway? In your world are only positive comments allowed? And what's wrong with Zappa? I love SRV, and he's one of my favourite players, but Zappa is great as well. They are both amoung the best.

@Sunderlanding On a second thought I give you right; the mentally ill too have the right to express opinions... provided that frank zappa "comment" can pass as an opinion
The thing about Stevie, is that he was never arrogant to think he was the best. He high respect for the former/older bluesmen. This is why he is great.
Qué buen tema y que interpretación Stevie, por Dios...!!! Hace años que no hay ningún maldito referente de este hermoso género como es el blues....
qué pasa? las malditas discográficas no les apetece fomentar el blues? qué pasa? no es comercial? por Dios, el blues no morirá...sé que habrá un pronto resurgimiento como en los finales de los 80´90´. Qué grande Stevie, como se te extraña por Diossss....
@gusemiblues Casi lo prefiero así. Espero que el blues nunca se vuelva comercial, porque perderá su verdadera esencia. Aunque yo también echo de menos que sea algo más radiado por los medios.
@gusemiblues hay muchos referente pero este genero no sigue, no salen nuevos mounstruos como antes, el blues no es comercialpor suerte por q lo mitico de el desapareceria, para mi esta mas q claro q Stephen fue el mejor bluesman de la historia fiel a su estilo cn countes sacados de el mas influente guitarriste Hendrix, Stevie mezclo muchos generos en sus temas seria algo asi omo Rock&blues& jazz xD y tiene algunas cosas funky en algunos temas sin duda uno de los musicos mas grandes, saludos
@gusite33 Hola compañero, me gustó mucho tu respuesta. Gracias. Por otra parte te diré, qué sí. Pronto muy pronto surgirán nuevas generaciones, sobre este tipo de estilos. Con todo lo que está pasando, sismos sociales, entre otras cosas, creo que surgirán o mejor dicho RETORNARAN ESTOS ESTILOS, Y MUSICA. Realmente, hay mucha mierda dando vueltas a nivel música, cosas pseudo modernas que la verdad no son grandes cosas. Si no fijate por qué la gente busca oir discos de decadas pasadas a la de hoy.
how can he do that??? hes picking all the strings but muting all of them except the one hes playing. and u dont even hear the noise from deading a string
What a rip off when he died .Finally got off the drugs and was smoking audiences . Most incredible guitarist I ever saw live in concert . Still blows me away like it was yesterday . Would have still been blowing us all away 20+ years later . No one like him before or since . RIP SRV loved you then and now .
This man is the only man that could trade licks with Albert King after AK just made them up! The best quote ever written about Stevie came from BB King. I dont remember the exact words but he said, " playing the blues was like being born black twice. Stevie missed both times, but I never noticed"!! And SRV never, ever forgot to mention his heroes and play homage to them and I'm sure for that, they are grateful.
i heard of SRV 20 yrs ago and didn't care much for him i have always been a hendrix fan heard SRV on the radio last week now i can't get enough of him SRV is in a class by himself no one will ever match the passion and skill another endless legend

Stevie Ray Vaughan did not die in a helicopter crash. Stevie Ray Vaughan died of a heart attack when he looked in the mirror one day and discovered, much to his surprise, that he wasn't black.

The first solo of this song is a HUGE inspiration for me to keep on pushing my guitar skills further and continue learning as much as I can. You can tell that this man loves music intensely!
My daughter laughed out loud and said, "Mom didn't name her dog after my brother...she named him after STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN!" Everyone started to laugh!! Then the Ex said, "Who is Stevie Ray Vaughan?" My daughter said, "Dad Stevie is the greatest all time guitarist in the world." Everyone agreed and the Ex was still in the dark!!!
My Ex-husband and I never did have much in common. Funny story...My son Steve was killed in 2002. At a family gathering, I was not there, my Ex thought he would have some fun putting me down in front of all the other people present. The gathering was at my daughter's and she happened to be watching my dog for me at the time. The Ex stated rather arogantly that I should have never named my dog after our deceased son.
I used to have this on VHS, it's from Sweden I think, some of the best live footage, nice dry tone but the toughest pair of hands on a white dude who's ever picked up a guitar.
i was playing poker late in the night when i heard that him and clapton went down,,played both of their music the rest of the night only to wake up to find out clapton wasnt on board,,
CAN SOME ONE WHO KNOW ALOT ABOUT SRV HELP ME? IM LOOKING FOR THE NAME OF A SONG BY HIM THAT STARTS OFF LIKE THIS "WELL KNOW KNOW DARLIN MY I HAVE A LIL TALK WITH YOU " I THOUGHT IT WAS CALLED MAY I HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH YOU BUT IT TURNS OUT TO BE A DIF SONG :p SO CAN ANY HELP ME????? THANKS
@13mrlonely The song is "May I have a talk with you". I have a three cd and one dvd, with book, compilation of his hits. This is the first song on the dvd. All of them are great, especially to watch him play. Never got to see him in person, but watching him on dvd is an exciting thing to watch and it NEVER gets old.
I ,sadly, never met him but he is my Inspiration for every day I play guitar... I miss him! he died just a few weeks before I was born... I hope I play a good tribute guitar... I would give anything, if he could hear the song, that I wrote for him...
This song was NOT created by Frank Zappa. The title is just similar to "Willie The Pimp" - a completely different song. Just as awesome tho. RIP both Stevie AND Frank. The world is a less talented place with them gone.
Before the concert began,there were several southern state flags (rebel flag)among the audience.Stevie went on the tendon, and refused to play, until all the rebel flags w......as gone.
I'm from... texsas, but I'm not a rasist, he said and left tendon. 5 minutes later was all rebel flags away, and Stevie kick started the best concert I have ever experienced
I dont know anything about playing the guitar, but everytime I hear/see Stevie play, it's pretty obvious he is in his own league. Just so confident and one with his guitar.
Nothing bad about being influenced and showing your influences but last time I've listened to KWS it was like listening to SRV with a worse tone. It's time KWS emancipated himself; Joe Bonamassa is at least trying hard
@5507156693 pretty sure I didn't comment on your post but on someone else's who mentioned that not a single teacher/instructor can play like SRV. SRV was copying many before him, the cycle will surely repeat itself over and over. As for your tone issues, I'd go get a hearing test and a bow of Q-tips
When I hear SRV play I know for sure who the player is. When I hear KWS play all I know for sure is that the player is one of the countless clones that emerged on the "vaughanesque" Blues scene after his death. And frankly, I don’t think anybody will ever play the Blues with SRV’s combination of skill, power, passion, commitment and intensity, which made him absolutely unique
Man, I've been taught all my life that SRV was the modern symbol of Blues, that he was responsible for the 80s Blues revival, that he caused lots of young musicians to love and take on the Blues. Buddy Guy called him "120% Blues". Hubert Sumlin said "I'm glad it's Stevie who carries on the torch". Albert King declared he was SRV's "Godfather". And now you're shattering my beliefs telling me he was "rock" and "rock'n roll" which are two different things? I got very confused, you know
@5507156693 Steve was considered blues, however, thankfully his management at the time did not settle on a blues label because if that had happened, a lot of people would never have heard him outside our Great State of Texas. In Austin at that time, he caught a lot of crap for NOT being strictly blues, including his brother. Stevie loved all kinds of music but the blues is what turned him on initially because (according to a lot of accounts) he would listen at night to the blues on his radio.
Everybody claims SRV for themselves and everybody hears their favorite players in SRV. You're the first to mention Buddy Guy. The usual suspects are: Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, B. B. King, Eric Clapton, Robin Trower, Otis Rush, Johnnie Winter, Freddy King etc. Keep them coming, guys. You're trying to compliment your idols but you make them look like copy cats of one another. Or SRV was a mega-genius and played like all of them at once. Hilarious
@5507156693 You have shit on everyone who makes a comment you don't agree with, your own YouTube page only has negative comments of people like me asking you to shut the fuck up! I have not made a comment on anything you wrote, I have only replied to the nonsense you have written me. I do not wish to communicate with you, I have blocked you, yet you continue to be a total fucking douche bag. Take the hint already.
@5507156693 Dude , there is no freakin doubt. KWS. is not a man even in the same stratosphere or stratocaster as my man SRV!!!! He will smoke me-- no doubt , but i am not the best electric blues player to ever play a strat- and i have 3-- could not ,on my best day come NEAR to SRV and that is after playing almost as long as he lived ,34 years playin. SRV!! i miss you man!
@wen790 and I agree with you 100% except about KWS being a legend, I don't think he has put out a body of work that could be considered legendary. I watched a documentary on him recently and he talks about how he got to meet SRV at a very earl age and what a massive influence he had on him, KWS can NOT read music, I found this hard to believe. My point in comparing the 2 is that if you closed your eyes, your ears will lie to you =) And FUCK YOU 5507 156693 I don't care what you think!
Easily the best version of "Willie" I've heard. 3:50-4:05 is an amazing little solo. Seems redundant to say Stevie had great tone, but dang!! Not only did he have all the right notes, but he knew exactly when to play them.
@csi2448 i wouldn't doubt that. all i know, is that someone said eric clapton or something gave it up. it was his brother that was originally on that helicopter. all i know, that is a tragedy to music.
@sleeved101 I just read one last night from Robert M. Knight (famous photographer, took Stevie's last photos) said that Clapton told everyone that Nathan East didn't want to go back on the helicopter which opened the seat that Stevie took. And oh my goodness, it was a HUGE loss to the music world. If you want the link to that article hit me up with a message and I'll send it to you
@solreva It was like that for a lot of 1988 (time this video was shot), don't know why they never put a new one on, but look up a lot of Stevie's stuff from 1988 and you'll see that Number 1 only has 2 knobs
The guitar was no obstacle to Stevie. We heard in our ears exactly what he heard in his mind first. Most of us that play find that we cant make our instruments do exactly what we want them to do. The instrument impedes us as much as it enables us. Watch someone listening to SRV, they will stop for a second almost surprised, and smile. That's the moment of unimpeded communication through music, from one to another. Other musicians do it too, SRV just does it more often!
The most interesting guitar collaboration would be Randy Rhoads and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Sort of like Cacophony or something. That would have been so amazing.
@GameJourney That Would Have been An Awesome Show, But Also two different Genres of music. Still... Never thought of Them Two Playing Together before.
YoWassupMang. I checked Herman Li. He's really fast. SRV though is way cooler. His technical ability is rare, but he has also pushed his style to the limit. Nobody else in blues can even approach him. Tons of kids on youtube can play fast. big deal. SRV was the whole package and could probably beat up Herman Li too.
@darbyyoshi Who cares about playing fast! Too many people play fast. Playing fast is cool and all, but to put your whole soul into your guitar playing takes way more talent then playing fast. But that's my opinion. There's only one Stevie Ray Vaughan, and it's almost been 20 years since we lost him. R.I.P. Stevie!!
@csi2448 I agree. Fast does not make the guitar player, but that is the criteria uninformed people use to judge. Stevie is the greatest, and know what? Way fast too!
@darbyyoshi With most people judging off Guitar Hero and stupid things like that, it's sad that playing fast is the first criteria for "judging" who the best guitar player is. But oh yeah, Stevie played fast when he wanted to play fast. But the Blues is not about playing fast.
I´ve listened to the bend at 3.07 for like 20 times in a row now. That tone is just alien! Dammit that i never had the chance to hear it live.

This song was NOT created by Frank Zappa. The title is just similar to "Willie The Pimp" - a completely different song. Just as awesome tho. RIP both Stevie AND Frank. The world is a less talented place with them gone.

Before the concert began,there were several southern state flags (rebel flag)among the audience.Stevie went on the tendon, and refused to play, until all the rebel flags w......as gone.
I'm from... texsas, but I'm not a rasist, he said and left tendon. 5 minutes later was all rebel flags away, and Stevie kick started the best concert I have ever experienced

I dont know anything about playing the guitar, but everytime I hear/see Stevie play, it's pretty obvious he is in his own league. Just so confident and one with his guitar.

Nothing bad about being influenced and showing your influences but last time I've listened to KWS it was like listening to SRV with a worse tone. It's time KWS emancipated himself; Joe Bonamassa is at least trying hard

@5507156693 pretty sure I didn't comment on your post but on someone else's who mentioned that not a single teacher/instructor can play like SRV. SRV was copying many before him, the cycle will surely repeat itself over and over. As for your tone issues, I'd go get a hearing test and a bow of Q-tips

When I hear SRV play I know for sure who the player is. When I hear KWS play all I know for sure is that the player is one of the countless clones that emerged on the "vaughanesque" Blues scene after his death. And frankly, I don’t think anybody will ever play the Blues with SRV’s combination of skill, power, passion, commitment and intensity, which made him absolutely unique

Man, I've been taught all my life that SRV was the modern symbol of Blues, that he was responsible for the 80s Blues revival, that he caused lots of young musicians to love and take on the Blues. Buddy Guy called him "120% Blues". Hubert Sumlin said "I'm glad it's Stevie who carries on the torch". Albert King declared he was SRV's "Godfather". And now you're shattering my beliefs telling me he was "rock" and "rock'n roll" which are two different things? I got very confused, you know

@5507156693 Steve was considered blues, however, thankfully his management at the time did not settle on a blues label because if that had happened, a lot of people would never have heard him outside our Great State of Texas. In Austin at that time, he caught a lot of crap for NOT being strictly blues, including his brother. Stevie loved all kinds of music but the blues is what turned him on initially because (according to a lot of accounts) he would listen at night to the blues on his radio.

@BusaFalconer
Everybody claims SRV for themselves and everybody hears their favorite players in SRV. You're the first to mention Buddy Guy. The usual suspects are: Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, B. B. King, Eric Clapton, Robin Trower, Otis Rush, Johnnie Winter, Freddy King etc. Keep them coming, guys. You're trying to compliment your idols but you make them look like copy cats of one another. Or SRV was a mega-genius and played like all of them at once. Hilarious

He will smoke me-- no doubt , but i am not the best electric blues player to ever play a strat- and i have 3-- could not ,on my best day come NEAR to SRV and that is after playing almost as long as he lived ,34 years playin.

@wen790 and I agree with you 100% except about KWS being a legend, I don't think he has put out a body of work that could be considered legendary. I watched a documentary on him recently and he talks about how he got to meet SRV at a very earl age and what a massive influence he had on him, KWS can NOT read music, I found this hard to believe. My point in comparing the 2 is that if you closed your eyes, your ears will lie to you =) And FUCK YOU 5507 156693 I don't care what you think!

Easily the best version of "Willie" I've heard. 3:50-4:05 is an amazing little solo. Seems redundant to say Stevie had great tone, but dang!! Not only did he have all the right notes, but he knew exactly when to play them.

@sleeved101 I just read one last night from Robert M. Knight (famous photographer, took Stevie's last photos) said that Clapton told everyone that Nathan East didn't want to go back on the helicopter which opened the seat that Stevie took. And oh my goodness, it was a HUGE loss to the music world. If you want the link to that article hit me up with a message and I'll send it to you

The guitar was no obstacle to Stevie. We heard in our ears exactly what he heard in his mind first. Most of us that play find that we cant make our instruments do exactly what we want them to do. The instrument impedes us as much as it enables us. Watch someone listening to SRV, they will stop for a second almost surprised, and smile. That's the moment of unimpeded communication through music, from one to another. Other musicians do it too, SRV just does it more often!

YoWassupMang. I checked Herman Li. He's really fast. SRV though is way cooler. His technical ability is rare, but he has also pushed his style to the limit. Nobody else in blues can even approach him. Tons of kids on youtube can play fast. big deal. SRV was the whole package and could probably beat up Herman Li too.
darbyyoshi 1 year ago
@darbyyoshi Who cares about playing fast! Too many people play fast. Playing fast is cool and all, but to put your whole soul into your guitar playing takes way more talent then playing fast. But that's my opinion. There's only one Stevie Ray Vaughan, and it's almost been 20 years since we lost him. R.I.P. Stevie!!
csi2448 1 year ago
@csi2448 I agree. Fast does not make the guitar player, but that is the criteria uninformed people use to judge. Stevie is the greatest, and know what? Way fast too!
darbyyoshi 1 year ago
@darbyyoshi With most people judging off Guitar Hero and stupid things like that, it's sad that playing fast is the first criteria for "judging" who the best guitar player is. But oh yeah, Stevie played fast when he wanted to play fast. But the Blues is not about playing fast.
