RIP SRV 🙏🎶🎸. Hey Jordan, quick story you’ll dig I think….. While living in Austin in 95’, I was 18 doing tree trimming. And went to a house early in morning to work. When we pulled up and turned the truck off, I heard guitar playing coming from a garage with the door open halfway. As I walked around the house, I passed up garbage cans with the name Vaughan on them. A few hours later the homeowner came out to talk with us, he came out in all black clothes with his hair greased back. IT WAS JIMMY VAUGHAN!!! I’ll never forget the day I met and got to listen to him playing guitar.

My Dads favorite. R.I.P. Dad and R.I.P. Stevie......Thanks Jordan 🎸

I have been waiting for you to do this! Stevie was such a kind soul. His childhood was difficult, especially his relationship with his father. He overcame the drugs & booze and then helped others do the same. He was truly a kind & humble man. Heaven got a good one when they got Stevie. Thanks for doing this!

Hey Jordan, I posted on your channel before about SRV. I started watching your channel years ago when I was looking up my neighborhood I was living at in West Hollywood off the strip! This video was a great video but a hard one to watch. Being a huge SRV fan as a kid and him having a huge impact on my guitar playing and just life in general. I remember hearing the devastating news just like yesterday! I don’t know if anyone remembers but for a good while there were conflicting reports of who and who wasn’t on board on that helicopter. First they said on board were SRV, his band , Eric Clapton, Robert Cray. Which was mind blowing for me because I just met Robert Cray the week before at one of his concerts. I met him by his tour bus and he could not have been nicer! Then the news finally came out, and it was confirmed and I just remember being in shock and going home and just sleeping through the night hoping it was just a bad dream! I was so devastated by SRV’s death that following year, I found out they were building a statue to honor him and fans could donate money to help build it in his honor! So I had to contribute, no question! Now mind you, I did not have a lot of money and I was only a teenager. I sold one of my guitars that I was not playing and sent a money order of $250 dollars to his statue. I remember a lot of friends who were not musicians did not understand and thought I was nuts and thought I was stupid and thought it was probably a scam. But it wasn’t, at all! Months later I got a personal letter from Jimmy Vaughan and Stevie’e mother thanking me for my donation and personally signed by Jimmy and Stevie’e mother. Then I would get updates on the statue building process. When it was finally built, I actually received a letter from Stevie’s estate inviting me to come to the official unveiling of the statue. I could not make it because I was still so young and it was going to happen in weeks and back then flights were insane prices at that much last minute and I just could not afford it. But I have the letter from the family still today framed. And when I always see that statue it makes me so proud and happy I was able to contribute to it! Rest In Peace Stevie Ray Vaughan.

I LOVE Stevie Ray Vaughan, and I have since I first heard him in1984, saw him live in Davenport Iowa in 85. When you started this video, I got the same chills he made on my skin all those years ago.🥰😍❤💙

SRV the greatest guitarist of all time! We visited Stevie's resting place in October 2018 along with seeing the bronze sculpture of him in Austin after attending the ACL three day music festival. I have one of Stevies guitar picks I cherish along with a original Eric Clapton/Alpine Valley tour patch given out to a select few. RIP SRV. ❤ We miss you.

Love the blues, thanks Jordan🥰

RIP Stevie! Such a great guitar player! Cold Shot,Tin Pan Alley, Dirty Pool. Great songs. Never get old. Can You imagine being there watch him playing for 6 hours? Gold... Glad to see you made it to see Stevie's final resting spot Jordan, taking us along. Thank You.

I love how you talk to the graves like "here's my pick in case you need it" that's just GREAT!!!

The first time I saw Stevie play I was blown away, sat mesmerized. Picturing him walking on the porch of that home is wild. I've long been a proponent that schools and parents need to pay attention to what a kids interests are and support it. Schools are geared to make everyone the same and squash a persons natural abilities and interests. Except sports though, schools and parents push kids to sports even if the kid hates it.

I am proud to say I had the honor and privilege of seeing him at Steamboat in Austin, Tx in 1986. I was 14 y.o. but my dad knew the owner, therefore, I was allowed in. I had no interest in being there, but after seeing him I was mesmerized by his skills. It changed my whole perspective on the choice of music I listened to after that night. He changed my life.

Stevie is my favorite. I remember a video you did on one of his music videos. Great job with great info.

Thank you Jordan for doing this. I LOVE Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was an incredible talent and a kind and humble man. He helped so many people find sobriety and was always there for them. They must have recently cleared off his grave because it usually has many more flowers and tributes. Can't wait to visit his final resting place myself someday and pay my respects to this wonderful man....

Stevie was well known and very much loved by all here in Austin. It was nothing for him to just walk in a club and get on the stage and play for hours inprompto. RIP Stevie.

I took his advice and went to Sam's BBQ a week after this trip. Amazing food, and a couple of pictures inside of him and the band eating inside

I saw Stevie at the Greek in ‘89, his rendition of Jimi’s Voodoo Child sent chills down my spine, just jaw dropping. SRV was not only a great musician, but an outstanding person as well. RIP and thanks for the vlog Jordan ✌️

Around 1975 we used to go to at the “Electric ballroom” in Dallas. Sunday night was .25 beer night. A lot of locals would showcase their talent and Stevie Ray was there one that. In between sets I took him a beer and he handed me his guitar pic. He wasn’t known back then. A few quarters later I stumble out and lose that guitar pic before I get to my car. The biggest regret of my life to this day.

I have a friend that grew up with the Vaughans in Oak Cliff. She was close to Stevie’s age. She told me Stevie and his friends had put together a band when they were little and would round up the neighborhood kids for an audience for a garage concert. She said they were not real good yet but they neighborhood kids liked him and gave him encouragement.

I am SO HAPPY to see you visited the resting place of this brilliant artist. I truly loved Stevie. I’ve wanted to go and visit this cemetery but haven’t been able to.

What up Jordan, awesome location.

Thank you for the video. Loved SRVs music. SRV was my introduction to the Blues. Stevie's cover of The sky is crying made me appreciate Elmore James even more. Discovered so many blues artists because of Stevie.

Thanks for sharing Jordan. Long time fan and guitar player here. Sadly I never got to see him play live. God gave Stevie a gift…he reached down from the Heavens and blessed him. Such a sad loss… Thank you for sharing Jordan!!

Thanks Jordan. I love Stevie Ray. He is one of the greatest guitar player along with Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. I could listen to their music all day in fact if I'm in a funky mood I will put on their music and it snaps me out of my mood. Stevie Ray and Hendrix died way too young.

Great vlog Jordan! SRV has always been one of my favorite guitar players, and you did a tremendous job on paying respect to him, along with sharing your love for his music! He died way too young, and makes me wonder how good he would have been if he didnt pass away too young. His music stands out above all others.

I’m normally a quiet emotionless person. Just never had the ability to express them. At least not adaptively. I went and visited SRV’s grave years ago. All of a sudden I broke down and cried for the 1st time in years. Stevie will always have a place on my playlist.

Stevie is one of my all time favorite musicians! He's definitely a good one to visit.

RIP Stevie 🙏❤️ I love Stevie Ray Vaughn and his music ❤️

Thank You Jordan and 🌹RIP SRV🌹

Great tribute, so very nice, I love what you do with your Cowboy hat.. SRV 🎸

Hello everyone. Stevie Ray was another Texas treasure. Thanks Jordan.

Unfortunately I never got to see Stevie ray Vaughan perform live but I did get to see his brother play with the fabulous thunderbirds. I will always remember Stevie through his music. RIP Stevie 🖤

Wonderful tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn. So glad you have the same musical taste, love of music and history that I do Jordan. No one can make the musical impact that SRV did in such a short time.

Very respectful and interesting vlog. I hadn’t thought about SRV since his death. Loved your emotional- memory making hat. What a cool way to remember artists who made an impact on you. Thanks again for a memorable and respectful vlog.

Just wonderful! Thank you

As I type to you now, I've never heard this guy play. Am not as purely connected to bands/music industry as you. However, with your usual heartfelt, tender, comprehensive, and vital tribute, I am intrigued enough now to want to go and listen to such a *natural. Life is so mysterious. Not sure what a pure victory is, nor a tragedy. However briefly, lovely Steve lived his inspiration. Thank you, Jordan.

I really enjoyed this Jordan.....Stevie's resting place looks alot different then when I visited 4 months after the accident ...I got to see him 5 times...so sad when he passed...nice to see his childhood home....Great Vlog !...Thank you...

Thankyou! Interesting info about his calluses. Never knew he glued them back on! Another great one! Thanks again! loving your journey so far.

13 gauge strings in E flat standard will do it!!🤣🎸 most players only use a 10! SRV used bridge cables!🤣💯

Stevies rendition of voodoo Chile/child at the greek in '89 was jaw dropping. I have never heard a better cover of that song from another player/singer to this day. A true inspiration. And I don't know who was responsible for the sound board that night but they're really good at their job. I'll never say one player is the best or better then another, merely due to the fact that players are like flavors and ingredients. Everyone's got their favs. He is, however, a pioneer and a true gunslinger. He's one of the most iconic to pick the instrument up, bar none.

Oh man your right by me! I live about 40mins north of his grave. Welcome to DFW!

Ah, love me some Stevie Ray! Not much on other blues performers, but something with him just gets to me, I love it! His sound is unique, it just kind of speaks to me. It had surprised me that Jimmie was with the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Hard to believe he is 70 now. Stevie Ray would've been great now, he had some good music. RIP to a legend!

I still remember hearing the breaking news announcement of his passing. Heartbreaking. I never got to see him play but was able to see Jimmy play live and jam with Eric Clapton.

You had me in tears. He was great.

I normally don't leave cements on vlogs This vlog hit home .my older brother an I saw Stevie ray Vaughan at his last concert at Alpine valley here on Wisconsin .after that concert the helicopter crashed outside east Troy , Wisconsin on the way back to Chicago That you very much for sharing this volg

One of the top 5 blues guitar players . Thank you Jordan , great job . Thanks for the tour . People try to copy Stevie., but there was only one Stevie Ray Vaughan. I have been playing guitar for over 40 years .

Aw mate,so glad you did this,SRV was unbelievable,he is sadly missed,in fact I,m gonna watch live at the El Mocambo right now,thank you so much for this ❤️❤️🎸🎸 R.I.P. Stevie Ray 💔💔

Thank you Jordan! Will pass your great report on.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time. My husband introduced me to his music. We would have loved to have gone to one of his live concerts. John Lennon of the Beatles was a die hard fan and is shown in a pix wearing a Stevie Ray Vaughan T shirt. Thanks Jordan for this touching tribute. ❤️🙏🏻

💋SRV is one of my favorites! I absolutely love the Blues! He had a sound and style like no one else. He could make a guitar talk that’s for sure. Thank you Jordan! Blessings to you and Jah. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

Thank you, Jordan and Jah !! I so wish I could have seen you both when you were near here! I can’t thank you both enough for the joy you give me and my four chihuahuas !!!

I've always liked His music. Great vlog.👍🎵🎸

Real nice.

Arguably the best guitarist ever. My favorite personally

He was awesome , thank you 🙏

Great vlog Jordan Stevie Ray Vaughan One Of my younger brothers favorite singers i was working at a record store for school credit my brother showed me 'Stevie Ray Vaughan" my he RIP

He was a legend. Thank you!

Terrific Vlog. A great tribute and really well researched. Your admiration of Stevie Ray Vaughan really shines thru. Many Thanks

Thanks for telling his story. He was a legend of guitar I was shocked by his death and still miss him, but he's there when I need him when I play his music.. Gone to soon RIP BRO ⚘️ I'm glad he inspired you to learn music when you were young Jordan thanks for sharing your story with us. 💛👍

I have The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble CD. Great songs.

Thank you! Jordan for doing this for stevie! Great job!

I was with Stevie Ray Vaughan from the album, "Couldn't Stand The Weather." They actually played "Cold Shot" on MTV. It was such a shock when SRV died in 1990.

I enjoy what you do. Thank you.

Been here to visit many times. Wonderful peaceful resting place. Looks like someone has been out to tidy. Usually lots of shiny stones and the occasional bottle. Wish I knew you were in the area - I'm a huge fan!

Saw Stevie Ray the last year of his life when he played in my city,Worcester Ma. He played with Jeff Beck that tour. Stevie Ray struggled along time with drugs and alcohol. He was clean the last few years of his life. Just an incredible guitar player

6 days after my 19th birthday my best friend and I are driving to college and stop the tape deck to turn on the radio. We heard the news and then pulled over to have a smoke. And then we listened to his last album. But on Cassette. Seriously. I'll never forget the day I had just started getting into him while learning how to play.

My old boss used to be in a band with SRV. I got to see old photos and newspaper clippings from back in the day. Really cool.

Hello Jordan this was a great video today and thank you for sharing his story and he sounds like an awesome guitar player, We got a shot of sleeping pup jah it was nice seeing him relaxing and Jordan the sunglasses were looking great.

Another great vlog. Thanks for posting.

Good video, RIP to him

Thank you this was awesome.

Love Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Dallas Cowboys!

Gosh, this was really tough to watch. I’ve been waiting for you to do this Vlog since Tony and I became Lyon Hearts almost 4 years ago. I remember exactly where I was the day I heard Stevie Ray had died and for me that was the day the music died. Stevie played with pure soul and no one can make a guitar cry quite like Stevie Ray . I don’t think I’ve cried that much in one of your Vlogs in a long time actually since you went to Waylon‘s grave with your guitar and played for Waylon . what a beautiful Vlog that was Jordan thank you for taking the time to do SRV💔💕

Thank you for this video! Stevie Ray is my all time favorite. You did a great job with all the info!! Much love from Detroit!

Thanks for vlogging this. I’m a huge SRV fan. Not sure I will get there to see it so I appreciate you taking us there

Thank you for sharing. I have been a big fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan since the early 80,s. When I go on road trips Stevie goes also.

I live 2 hours away and just have never thought to go visit them but its on my list now for sure. Love the video man

The Great Stevie Ray ..Gone to soon .🌹🙏

The greatest boss I ever had is a musician and friends with Stevie Ray Vaughan, the day he died Stan came to the stores to give us our paychecks and never spoke a word, when he opened his mouth he cried and broke my heart, needless to say a very bad day for all of us RIP Stevie, gone but will never be forgotten😿🤗🥰

Thanks for sharing

I was sick when he died. He was one of the best guitarists ever and no one sounded like he did. His playing was effortless and you knew immediately who was playing when that guitar lit up. Wish I had seen him live.

Great video Jordon this guy was a genius one of the best guitar players who ever walked this earth may he rest in peace take care stay safe m8 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you, Thank you.....Thank you! SRV is my favorite musician of all time❤ Can't love this vlog enough! Excellent!!

I remember in the early 90’s being a metal head trying to learn Joe satrani licks and yngwe malmsteen songs. When a teacher gave me a tape of Texas flood. I’ve been on the SRV tone quest ever since. I even own a battered up 63 strat

haven't really heard his music, but I've always heard about how great he played his guitar. there was a beautiful statue of him Riverside and I call it the south 1st bridge , but I think it got moved and not sure where to . those that love to hear him play sure had a nice time listening till the morning wow that's dedication there. didn't realize he's from the Dallas area I figured he was from Austin. I will take the time to listen to him . like your cowboy hat . take care and be safe Jordan and Jah !!!

I love this man and his music. Stevie could make a guitar sing. I didn't get to see him play live. I thank Kenny Wayne Shepherd for turning me on to Stevie's music. Kenny Wayne loves Stevie and his music too. Kenny Wayne has some of the surviving members of Double trouble in his band now. Great music. Such a sad loss. Rest In Peace Stevie. We still love your music. Thank you Jordan for this great vlog. You and Jah stay safe and be well.

Great vlog!

I loved Stevie Ray Vaughan's music. I think Stevie Ray Vaughan walks with the gods of musicians. I was so sad when he got killed in that helicopter crash in Alpine Valley. Another wonderful job on the vlog, thank you for showing his grave and his home.

Your vlogs are so amazing. I didn't know much about Stevie Ray Vaughan but after hearing you talking about him I sure am going to find out more. There are times when I'm not really sure I would like the content of the vlog but I start watching it anyway. I find myself really entertained and learning something new.
