i could kick my own ass for not goin to see him when i had the chance...goes to show, if you get a chance to see someone so precious and so fooking righteous, DO NOT DECIDE TO STAY HOME THAT NIGHT...GO TO THE DAMNES SHOW FOOLS!!!!! lol
Its amazing how he can use plenty of simple licks and then put his feeling and soul through them to make them all sound unique and different. god bless
God I love this video! One of my favorites from Stevie. So much heart and soul!! Just out of curiosity, does anybody know what he starts saying @3:57? I get goosebumps everytime it comes to that part. It's just undescribable!!
@pianoman88m At about 2:15 he transitions to "Dirty Pool", he tells his band at 2:25, at 3:57 the first lyrics are "True love is gone, I'se been played for a fool" x2 , then he skips to the last lyric: "I"m tellin' you one thing right now little baby, I won't be the one to pay for your mistakes".
What most people don't get is that blues isn't really doing covers its more like learning old techniques and phrases that may otherwise be lost to time, most of these licks go back alot further than you would than you would think.
First off SRV and Hip Hop should not be used in the same sentence. Let's clarify some things here. There are very few guitarists, if any who don't perform covers. And many of the greatest guitar players out there have built their careers from other peoples songs. Stevie had an ability to pick up a guitar and express his emotion through it. It was like an extension of his body. Why do you think so many guitar players on YouTube are trying to emulate his licks. His energy is what made him awesome.
Sometimes you just need to feel something, anything. It's easy to become indifferent or kind of mentally numb dealing with day to day kinda crap, but I put on Stevie Ray Vaughn and it's impossible not to feel my soul come back to life.

When ever i've typed in Dirty pool i get a 3 minute version which smacks it none the less but i've often wondered why just 3 mins. Then when he turned his head and shouted dirty pool i was like OHHHH THAT MAKES SENSE

@Whiteman530 Well you try and play on .13 strings and ill bet you would shit your throusers trying to bend those strings btw if you really want to see an epic face you should watch bloody john mayer's face ffs XD
Agreed. To say that SRV or others "stole" completely misses the point. Buddy Guy, Albert King, Willie Dixon and many others sell MORE now because of SRV. Stevie gives them credit, then people like me had to go find those other artists and their music that we would have missed had Stevie not turned us on to them.
Why does everyone say he robbed other people music just because he did covers of their songs. bands have been doing that for years and will continue to do if for years to come. SRV was by far one of the greatest guitar players in history. Even all the greats like Buddy Guy and BB King and Bonnie Raitt say he's amazing.
@dbutlerdub Who didn't do covers?! Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck built their glorious careers mostly if not entirely on covers and go on doing it. Hendrix did tons of covers. The old blues cats covered each other songs all the time or played pieces composed for them by others, like Willie Dixon for instance. Jazz musicians do the same. How are "evergreens" and "standards" made if not by being performed by many? So to talk about "stealing" is most ridiculous
stevie did more for blues in his short time than EVER before....he blew Clapton off the planet...Clapton admits... no contest..... he was the real deal, better player than clapton, hendrix. and more...... this guy could sing play and write... he was amazing!!!!!
In response to Stevie and others "stealing' music or writing their own. He wrote alot and he played alot of other people's music, but he was trying to introduce a new generation to his influences. John Mayer and Buddy Guy said that Stevie always quoted his sources and never took credit away from any other artist. A lot of people think that when Buddy plays Mary Had a Little Lamb, or Leave My Little Girl Alone; he's playing Stevie, even tho Buddy wrote them. SRV wanted to share great music.
Right on! It's the blues. To say that this is "stealing" someone's song is like a painter stealing a brush. That's really the least important element of the whole picture.
right..the thing about blues and jazz.. is everyone covers everyone else's stuff.. its amatter of respect. you want to talk about stealing... look to hip hop..
@BlackMusicGenre while i DO like some hip hop, 8 times out of 10, the music underneath the lyrics, belongs to someone else. there is barely a scent of original music in hip hop and nowadays they also seem to be mimicking the lyrical flow of other songs, just with other words. what is so tough about getting a drum machine/keyboard and making your own music?? anything biggie smalls, dr dre, ice cube,et al.all has OTHER people's music tracks under it. it would just be cool to hear original music
@dmb912002 Isn't the "cover" in blues or cover any other genre the equivalent to the sample in hip hop?Althought SRV is a talented guitarist,however he was not all that original.Wasn't he mimicking Albert King's"flow" and Buddy Guy's "Flow"and Larry Davis "Flow"on the guitar?I will agree hip hop is horrible nowadays.At the end Stevie's apart to a degree what you claim is wrong with hip hop.Hip Hop is not 100% sample you know.The Roots are still pretty nice and I still listen to certain hip hop.
not exactly... one cant just pick up a guitar and play the song.. you have to have actual talent ans skill.. lifting a track off of one recording onto another, takes zero talent or skill. hell , you, me, or anyone on this page can sample music on the first try... the same CANNOT be said for someone who ha never played the guitar. not to mention SRV, along with many others have tons of their own original material.
@dmb912002 Tons of original material?We must not be listening to the same guy.Most of his music were covers . You can debate me on anything else , that ain't one of them. Why do think Stevie gets more props from covering than he does his own material?Hell,you can look on youtube and see that . He's gotten more views for Voodoo Childand Little Wing than for Pride and Joy or Lenny.Stevie's bread and butter was covering man.Covering or Sampling,at the end of the day ya using someone's elses music.
I do feel the same on the rare occasion a rock musician does it ( see Kid Rock - "American Badass" ) they lift a song from Metallica, and i hate it.. write your own music. cover songs are done as a tribute to the original artist.. sampling is just lazy buisness... i mean there are some hip hop songs i can literally pick out 3 - 5 OTHER songs intertwined within one song.. what';s the point of doing that??
He is God. His tone, his touch, his sense of pitch is just unbelievable. Fan for 20 years, he is the greatest. To my ears he beats Hendrix, of course love Hendrix too.
Richard, he is not the greatest....but he is one of them. You cant compare Jimi and Stevie, thats like apples and oranges. They played two different styles of music. Damn Stevie was one of the greatest though, cant be denied!!
@PHARBIN22 Greatest blues guitarist.I didn't say jazz,pop,flamenco or classical. I said blues.All of the heavyweight blues players(including clapton) admit he was on a different level. And hendrix's playing was blues based as well. "red house" is 12 bar blues.
@richardguitar1 Hendrix was rock and roll based. Now I will admit he had a song or two with a blues feel, but none the less he was rock. So you cant really consider him a blues artist, or guitarist. Big Rich, dont think im knocking SRV, im one of his biggest fans! Shit, that man was very much on another level. Clapton is not a heavyweight, hes a thief but thats another topic. B.B cant get no love, lol? Well, im trying to find this damn dvd or vhs this video is based on, lawd he played
I don't really consider clapton a blues heavyweight either but many people admit his influence. As far as his "stealing" I don't buy it. Nobody "owns" music it's only rehashed.
@richardguitar1 I would have to not agree with you on the rehash remark. People like Stevie, and those before him actually wrote there material. Where as the artist now days sample from them, and piggy back off of them. Even though Steve remade little wing, and tin pan alley...he did it more out of a tribute to those artist.
Not true. He was blues based but also had some rock N roll background too (Elvis, Chuck Berry, etc.). You can tell in his playing that he was blues based (Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters).
I laugh at people who DENY that srv is the greatest blues player of all time.These people let prejudices get in the way.And it's also taboo to say that he was better than Hendrix. NOBODY could bring out a more from a relatively simple form of music that we know as the blues. God bless you Stevie, we know that there was sincere pain and suffering in your playing.
i can still remember watching him on peace rock in austin tx back in the late 70s with nothing but his guitar and a pig snout amp. within feet of him right in zilker park. :)
the dirty pool part takes it to another level. And Tin Pan Alley is a sick song. This is an insane performance. This is why they make games like Guitar hero. So people can pretend to be like that. gotta go practice now.
I'm not one to swear but OMFG, both those vids you posted are incredible! What a performance! Wow...thanks to you but especially SRV who inspired me greatly!
There is no blues player that has ever played like Stevie. Clapton is not even close. JH didn't even play with the clarity and accuracy that Stevie played with

@dmb912002 Tons of original material?We must not be listening to the same guy.Most of his music were covers . You can debate me on anything else , that ain't one of them. Why do think Stevie gets more props from covering than he does his own material?Hell,you can look on youtube and see that . He's gotten more views for Voodoo Childand Little Wing than for Pride and Joy or Lenny.Stevie's bread and butter was covering man.Covering or Sampling,at the end of the day ya using someone's elses music.

I do feel the same on the rare occasion a rock musician does it ( see Kid Rock - "American Badass" ) they lift a song from Metallica, and i hate it.. write your own music. cover songs are done as a tribute to the original artist.. sampling is just lazy buisness... i mean there are some hip hop songs i can literally pick out 3 - 5 OTHER songs intertwined within one song.. what';s the point of doing that??

He is God. His tone, his touch, his sense of pitch is just unbelievable. Fan for 20 years, he is the greatest. To my ears he beats Hendrix, of course love Hendrix too.

Richard, he is not the greatest....but he is one of them. You cant compare Jimi and Stevie, thats like apples and oranges. They played two different styles of music. Damn Stevie was one of the greatest though, cant be denied!!

@PHARBIN22 Greatest blues guitarist.I didn't say jazz,pop,flamenco or classical. I said blues.All of the heavyweight blues players(including clapton) admit he was on a different level. And hendrix's playing was blues based as well. "red house" is 12 bar blues.
richardguitar1 2 years ago 5
@richardguitar1 Hendrix was rock and roll based. Now I will admit he had a song or two with a blues feel, but none the less he was rock. So you cant really consider him a blues artist, or guitarist. Big Rich, dont think im knocking SRV, im one of his biggest fans! Shit, that man was very much on another level. Clapton is not a heavyweight, hes a thief but thats another topic. B.B cant get no love, lol? Well, im trying to find this damn dvd or vhs this video is based on, lawd he played
PHARBIN22 2 years ago 2
I don't really consider clapton a blues heavyweight either but many people admit his influence. As far as his "stealing" I don't buy it. Nobody "owns" music it's only rehashed.
richardguitar1 2 years ago 3
@richardguitar1 I would have to not agree with you on the rehash remark. People like Stevie, and those before him actually wrote there material. Where as the artist now days sample from them, and piggy back off of them. Even though Steve remade little wing, and tin pan alley...he did it more out of a tribute to those artist.

@PHARBIN22 gotcha. cheers!

Not true. He was blues based but also had some rock N roll background too (Elvis, Chuck Berry, etc.). You can tell in his playing that he was blues based (Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters).

I laugh at people who DENY that srv is the greatest blues player of all time.These people let prejudices get in the way.And it's also taboo to say that he was better than Hendrix. NOBODY could bring out a more from a relatively simple form of music that we know as the blues. God bless you Stevie, we know that there was sincere pain and suffering in your playing.

leave my little girl alone was one hell of a sober performance on austin city limits. he still had it even clean and that is perfect proof.

That's what I tried to persuade this other guy. By the way, the 1983 ACL version of Tin Pan Alley is as jaw dropping, imo.

the dirty pool part takes it to another level. And Tin Pan Alley is a sick song. This is an insane performance. This is why they make games like Guitar hero. So people can pretend to be like that. gotta go practice now.
