I think if you’re wanting to hear one of these songs in some orderly fashion SRV is the wrong one to listen to. He only has the bass and drums to accompany him to let him know there are people around.

"It's not fair...It's not fair..." said every guitarist ever who came after him. I feel your pain, bruh. I definitely miss Stevie.

One of the craziest things about him and Jimi Hendrix is that they never learned how to read music they just played from the soul

Thats true but you don't need to read music to play guitar. It really doesnt translate well to a guitar like a piano or even horns and other non fretted string instruments like cellos and violins. It's why somewhere along the line they created tablature. Not they they ever used it. I don't know. They were definitely speacial. Of you can come up with all the great music they both created ot might have been a blessing. Let the recording company pay someone to transcribe it.

December 28, 1987 was the Reno show during SVR's Live Alive Tour where my Dad took me to see SVR in concert. I was 16 and had no idea who SVR was before the concert. I didn't want to go at first which upset my Dad but after a few days of a guilt trip I decided I would go to the concert. After the concert, I became a fan of SVR. I was so grateful to my Dad for sharing such a great experience a father and son would be able to talk about for years. We planned on going to the next SVR concert if he had a tour date in Reno. Sadly, SVR was killed in a helicopter crash less than two years later after the Reno concert in 1987. I never attended another concert with my Dad. We would go to basketball and football games for the Nevada Wolf Pack but it wasn't the same as the SVR concert.

I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin August 26th 1990. I remember leaving the concert and saying to myself that if SRV was ever in my area again I wouldn't miss him. The lineup was Eric Clapton, SRV, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy.

Clapton on SRV: ""We played on the same bill on his last two gigs. On the first night, I watched his set for about half an hour and then I had to leave because I couldn't handle it," Clapton admitted years later. "I knew enough to know that his playing was just going to get better and better. His set had started, he was like two or three songs in, and I suddenly got this flash that I'd experienced before so many times whenever I'd seen him play, which was that he was like a channel. One of the purest channels I've ever seen, where everything he sang and played flowed straight down from heaven. Almost like one of those mystic Sufi guys with one finger pointing up and one finger down. That's what it was like to listen to. And I had to leave just to preserve some kind of sanity or confidence in myself." "

@@philstone3859 WAYYYYY back in the mid or early 80s, when they used to have Concerts down on the Pier in NY, next to The Intrepid on the West Side of Manhattan, I saw SRV and Double Trouble play, and the Opening Band was Stevies older brother, Jimmy Vaughn (who still plays at a lot of Claptons Crossroads Festivals, and more recently, opened for Clapton at Madison Square Garden on his '17 Tour. At a point in Stevie's show, they took an "Intermission" which really was just a 5 minute break for the band to clear the stage, then a roadie came out and just set up a folding chair, center stage. Stevie comes out with a Double Neck and sits down, bullshits with the crowd a bit, and then just started jamming. Anyone who's seen SRV knows that when he gets going, he just tears it up... Well, a little time passes, and Jimmy, his brother, walks out on Stage. He walks up to Stevie, looks at him, looks at the crowd, walks around to Stevies left, looks at him again, looks back at the crowd and starts waving his hands saying like "Check out my Brother tearin it up...the crowd starts getting louder, screaming to Stevie, and Jimmy walks behind Stevie, looks at the crowd again, leans OVER Stevie, and starts playing the exact same jam on the upper neck of the guitar. Now Stevie is legendary, but don't sell Jimmy short, that man can PLAY. So the two of them just start shredding this absolutely unreal jam, guitar dueling back and forth, and just straight up all out jamming. Needless to say, the crowd went insane. I've seen God only knows how many different bands and countless shows over the decades. Seen all the "Legends" and Guitar "Gods" going back into the 70s. Here we are at the end of 2020, almost 40 years after seeing that show on The Pier. I just think it's such a testament to how incredibly phenomenal Stevie was that, and every other time I've seen him. But to specifically remember a Guitar "Duel" Solo, a chunk of time from like 37 years ago like it was yesterday, speaks VOLUMES about the level of TOP SHELF TALENT that graced the Stage, and the night. He was just SO incredible. If you know guitarists, you obviously know Jimi Hendrix, a man who was doing things with a guitar that had the best of the best just standing there in disbelief. Even Jimi's roadies saw him do things with a guitar that had them baffled... They just couldn't even comprehend or even process what they saw and heard. Clapton is truly in a league of his own, hell, they were running around London in the 60s painting "Clapton is God" in any wall they could find. And back then when Jimi asked if he could join Clapton and jam, even Clapton said he really was intimidated by Jimi's playing. CLAPTON WAS INTIMIDATED BY HENDRIX...Ok...understandable even for Clapton to say. And then a couple decades later, here's Stevie Ray. Arguably on par with Hendrix, which is no easy task. Just think...how many times have you been in the car and the radio is on and you hear what (or Who) you think is Hendrix, cause that sound is unmistakable. And then when the artist starts to sing and you realize it's NOT Hendrix, it's Stevie, you realize how incredible he truly was. Can you imagine how incredible it would be if Jimi hasn't passed away, and if Stevie wasn't in that Chopper crash, and they were both on Stage TOGETHER ???? 1983, Madison Square Garden, ARMS Tour benefit for Ronnie Lane. Aside from all the other world class musicians, seeing Jimmy Page take the Stage to play Stairway by himself, and halfway thru, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck walk onstage and play it with him. Has there EVER been another time that all three lead guitarists for The Yardbirds have been on Stage together, playing what is arguably one of, if not THE BEST ROCK SONG EVER ? You just don't see that every day. That's why I went back the Following night to scalp a ticket and see it again. And the Finale, with almost 3 DOZEN of the greatest musicians in the WORLD all playing together. So unforgettable, I'm reliving it here, now, 37 years later. Truly Incredible 💯🔥✔👌✌

Yeah, it’s hard to describe to people who weren’t there because words fail to do it justice. Your thing sounds pretty epic. I was at Mudstock ‘94 and the only thing I thought at the time that would really be appropriate was if STEVIE RAY came out to close the festival by playing the Star Spangled Banner. I would have died happy after that. One of my best thoughts ever.

I think Steve Tyler said it best : “ We aren’t any better than the other guys , in fact many of them are incredible artist . We just got lucky and made it .” So I guess what I’m saying is Real Texas Blues (Southernfried Rock ) didn’t die with SRV , It just fell back into obscurity.. It’s time to bring it back.

He had an older brother. Sometimes they would both be on stage playing the same guitar. Picture that. His brother would stand behind him and put his arms through Stevie's and play notes he couldn't even see. They'd switch and Stevie would stand behind his brother and play through his brother's arms. Stevie used to take his brother's guitar and play it when his brother didn't know it. Eventually Stevie surpassed him, but I also believe that they both could channel music from the universe.

5:36 “...he know all the tricks...” You have the exuberance of a young kid-I.e., authentic reactions. It's good thing. Good job.

SRV was also hitting pedals on floor with his feet while playing--the man was a BEAST!!

In the 80's Stephen Stills (Crosby, Stills & Nash) in an interview was asked who was up & coming & should be watched. He said there's this kid Stevie Ray Vaughan. Plays with the thickest stings available, "...like telephone cables."

Stevie was a dedicated student of Jimi's ground breaking approach to guitar technique and song crafting. Jimi pioneered some inventive concepts of guitar voicing, arrangements, and combining elements of lead, rhythm and even bass line playing all at once. Stevie spent a huge chunk of his career highlighting Jimi's work and trying to bring Jimi's songs and message to a new generation.

@Revit UpNow Dude, you realize Stevie covered less than a half dozen Hendrix songs??? He also always reworked them... added his own style and flair to it, he never played Hendrix note for note. Stevie absolutely idolized Hendrix and was a huge fan of need like proportions. He was paying his respects the best way he knew how. He took more from Albert King and Buddy Guy than he ever did from Jimi. And both Albert King and Buddy loved and respected SRV and loved to play with him. Albert King never wanted share the stage with anyone, but anytime he did a show and someone mentioned that "little Stevie" was there and wanted to jam with him Albert King let Stevie come on stage and play.

@Revit UpNow Yes, but there's no reasoning with rabid fans. People used to write Clapton is God on subway and bathroom walls everywhere but they'd never heard of Mahavishnu John McLaughlin or many other excellent guitarists. Personally, I've always enjoyed a lot of the stuff Frank Zappa created but he's not everybody's cup of tea. I still think Hendrix was on a whole other level in terms of new ideas even if there are many other cleaner or faster technicians.

If you think SRV is only famous for playing Voodoo Child, you're ignoring his whole career. God forbid a famous artist recreationally pay tribute to a simultaneously important figure in music out of respect. If you think his cover of this song is what made him famous, you don't know his catalogue. Sometimes a simple google search helps before shooting your mouth off.

I am lucky enough to have actually gotten to see SRV live in concert. I saw him in Los Angeles on his very first tour at the Hollywood Palace Theater and again on his very last tour at the Greek Theater in Griffith Park. He was the best and truly left you speechless and feeling like you got your money's worth at his show. The song "Voodoo Chile" was a Jimmy Hendrix tune and among several Hendrix songs that SRV played in a set at every show. Imagine the music we're never got to hear because of his passing at such a young age. RIP SRV

When you said, "I heard that he's a good guitar player." I said, "Ohh, you about to have your mind blown" lol

I was lucky enough to actually meet, shake his hand and talk with him after a show just months before he died. Stevie was such a humble man. No matter what you wanted to talk to him about, he gave you time. When he died, it hit me like if a family member had died, still does. I dont know why.

Stevie Ray Vaughan hit you straight in your core he went right to your soul when he played that guitar.

They say when Stevie was recording he had the heat in the studio cranked and the amps on heating those tubes for 48 hours before recording. He wanted those amps right on the verge of meltdown. And yes Stevie may well have been the best ever!!!

If ever there truly was a master of the Stratocaster it was SRV. I am in awe when I watch the el'macambo show and watch him slap,stomp,kick,throw and talk too his #1 while taking a few seconds to change a string and never hit a sour sound the whole time. I have watched this show a hundred or more times and never heard the first mistake. Chris layton said "it was just another show but someone showed up with a camera.

Only 35 in 1990, when he died in a plain crash in Wisconsin. Born in Dallas, he was one of our favorites. It hurt when he died. Imagine the songs we have missed because he was gone too soon. 🎸

“I thought he was just going to play guitar”. Your absolutely best line of all time. Put that on a t-shirt!

he was one of the top 5 guitarists hands down! RIP Stevie - you shared your tremendous gift with us, TY!

Stevie was amazing. Totally self taught! So sad he got clean and sober and had a great new album and died in a helicopter crash

One of the greatest. I know exactly where I was when the helicopter went down, and as a blues guitarist, it's like saying you know where you were when Kennedy was shot or the towers went down. He was a hero to many, not only because he was a great guitarist, but he fought his own addictions and died a clean and sober hero to millions of six stringers growing up at the time.

Stevie's guitar: Is your name Mr. Video? Mr. Video: Why, yes it is! Stevie's guitar: You've been SRV'd! 🎸

To you sir: This guitar god died in 1990. I had about it when I was in the hospital and I almost fainted. I am 51 and still love his music!

"turning knobs at the same time!" Yeah - I love that about the top guitarists - they're always fiddling with the knobs or even the tuning pegs in the nanoseconds between notes!

"Heard he was a good guitarist." Understatement of the century right there.

what blows me away here moreso than the guitar playing alone is what an epic rock vocal performance he does on top of the guitar work

Did you notice as he sings" standing next to the mountain ect" the guitar is making the exact same sound

SRV was just one of a kind, just pure raw talent. Him and Jimi Hendrix are my two favorite guitar players others since have been compared to them but to me there just no comparing anyone to SRV or Hendrix, those two were just pure talent and were one with their instrument and music.

Agreed. I also recommend the PBS session SRV did with Albert Collins, who like Albert King, was notorious for not liking or wanting to play with other guitarists. But there, you can see that Albert Collins has mad respect for SRVs skill.

With SRV, his guitar was more of his voice than his actually voice. His death was probably the greatest tragedy in Rock History. The man was a Guitar GOD & EARNED every credit & accolade that he ever received.

I am sooooooooo happy you got to see this amazing performance!!!!! He has so many other videos you need to watch. Like changing guitars right in the middle of a song because you broke your string. Changes without missing a note!!! Sadly he was taken away from us in this physical world far too young. So now he plays with so many others much like himself. Dearly missed by us all.

I think he could have taught anyone to play. However, that still doesn't mean you can play like Stevie.

Surprise...this is by no means Stevie's best! He was just that damn good. When he died in a helicopter crash in 1991?(I think), I dressed in all black for 35 days straight...one day for every year of his life. That's how much his music moved me. A crazy little fact about him....those are super thick 13 gauge strings on that guitar...most guitarists don't use anything thicker than 8 gauge. He's doing all of those crazy fingering positions with almost superhuman strength. I like your enthusiasm, and it's great to see another group of people remember Stevie and love the music. Keep up the brilliance!

He stepped on the wa-wa peddle! Old school playing and Stevie was one of the best back in the day and some may arguably say that he was the BEST! Stevie becomes the music he plays...at one with mind, body and soul while in pure sync!!! AND THAT LAST RUN WAS...SPECTACULAR!!!!! 🌟🎸🌟👏👏👏☺️😂😂😂 “Don’t let Stevie get next to your girlfriend “. 😂😂😂

Best guitarist that ever lived! So glad I got to see him in concert. RIP SRV, I hope to see you again one day!
