@AppleJacks22195 Stevie played in Eb tuning, not D tuning. 

[onefastmodK1]

stevie would never play out of tune

@kyotzo Post-humus, there's some excellent pun material there!

Yep he pulled that low E string out. At 2:20 it's really flat. SRV pulled his guitars out of tune a lot... just like Jimi. A Strat can only take so much ferocious playing before it gives.

[HoleHeadedLiar]

@Dankshasta Yeah, he used 13's, with a wound third. He raised the action higher than hell, partly because tuning anything above A or Bb on those strings, would raise the action on a strat with a vintage Fulcrum Tremolo just by the ungodly tension produced by the things (I speak from experience here...) and because he had the hands of...well Stevie Ray Vaughan...he also used Bass fretwire, so, he needed higher action because of those.

@HoleHeadedLiar

Two iggest reasons; 1 he's using like 12 ga. strings which are the size of telephone cables, and he raises his action quite a bit too. (Ultimate tone combo) So yeah the half step makes it more playable, the other reason is it helps him hit the high vocal notes.

@TheBrazilianBlues Stevie Ray is not out of tune.

He tuned to Eb (E flat) to facilitate easier string bending, among other reasons.

@TheBrazilianBlues True,steve vai is dick

[TheBrazilianBlues]

Out of tune? Come on.... there´s much more to listen is these 4 minutes... the guitar is out of tune. ok. but i prefer to listen to this out of tune SRV bootleg than listen to those "floyd-rosed" japanese guitars with perfect intonation played by Berklee rats.

[MrTaharqa]

i like the early stevie vaughn he was hungry with fire like this piece and he never did a song the same way twice

[modboy102966]
