SRV

[ClaptonRules64]

get some overdrive on that guitar. u need a tube screamer or a blues driver or somethin :)

[marthus14173]

Great. Get thicker string though. 0.12 or 0.13. That'll give it the fat sound of SRV. It'll also blister your fingers :o)

[Strat10100]

good but get some beefier strings

@MrPocketGuitar Then he must changed out the G-string with something from a 11 package. I know another guitarist that does that on his Martin. He uses a pack of 13's except for the G-string. cause he doesn't want a "bass string" there. Plus he bends alot on the G-string.

@DonQuixotec His guitar tech Rene Martinez recalls him using 13-58 tuned Eb, but hed use 12s or 11s if Stevie's hands were sore.

@flaminglonewolf @boricubano2005 he actually used custom sets of .13's (so .013, .015, .019, .028, .038, and .058) but instead of .013's he used 0.14's

one key to srv's tne is also attack.. play hard! REAL HARD!! dont just pluck the strings a little

[boricubano2005]

@flaminglonewolf he used .14 and played with a 16 a few times....

let me tell you.. not fun, fucking hurts and its no wonder y he went back down lol

[flaminglonewolf]

@DonQuixotec acording to guitar player magazine he actually used GHS Nickel Rockers measuring .013, .015, .019 (plain), .028, .038, and .058. at least on his main Nº 1 guitar

thats the fender stevie ray vaughan strat?

@marthus14173 SRV has never used anything thicker than 011. If you get 012 the g-string would be like the bass strings, wire spools on the string. But SRV has never had that, his g-string is always smooth. So that means he always use 011 or less. OR he uses 012 or 013 with the g-string replaced with something else. But I doubt he'd go that far just to get thicker strings. Especially 013, do you know how hard it is to bend with 013 strings?

@marthus14173 I believe SRV played a pretty small string though
