You know, whenever I see someone on here trying to play a SRV tune, after 30 seconds I turn it off. Mainly because, well, it's not Stevie Ray Vaughan. But not this time. Had me mesmerized the entire tune. Well done! Stevie is no doubt grinnin' his butt off!
This young lady is an amazing talent! I've been following her since she was a teenager in Kilgore, Texas. Her band is really great too, especially the bass player. If you ever get a chance to see them live, DO IT!!! The blues are in great hands with people like Ally.
SRV is probably my favorite musician of all and this is one of my favorite pieces by him so it can sometimes be hard to listen to someone cover his songs but kudos to this young lady …. I really like what she did. It’s totally in the spirit of SRV and the way he approached cover his idols works ( and I’ll assume she was a big fan of his) she pays tribute to the man while still putting her own stamp on a classic instrumental. I’d never heard of her before but I’m glad I did, I’ll be searching out some of her original stuff as soon as I’m done writing this comment. She’s got feel, skills and good taste so I’m looking forward to hearing some new music by her. Thank you
People should listen to the session with Al King and Stevie Ray. There’s some interesting things revealed about Stevie as a young boy who just got his first guitar. I cried the entire video
I felt that in my soul ally that was something special! Stevie was taken in his prime but his music lives on through artist who can feel the music deep in their soul 👍 R.I.P. STEVIE GONE TO SOON BUT NEVER FO6RGOTTEN 🙏 7:30
Wow,I was on a different tab altogether and this came through my headphones. I recognized Stevie right away and came here. Amy you are so far above anything I have heard that sounds so close to the Amazing Stevie Ray VaughN .Please do not ever stop.AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!
I love Ally's aggressive playing, there is nothing like a Stratocaster in the hands of a master: one who has discovered all it's foibles and knows how to make it all work..... The quiet delicate parts were breathtaking! Such crystalline tone ... well done Ally!
That's some good stuff. A lot of Stevie in her playing, a lot of John Mayer in her playing, but most of all, a whole lot of her in that playing. Gotta catch her live somewhere now.
At the show she announced this as HER tribute to the man who was the first and major influence on her playing. I don't think she is trying to play as him, but more like an expression of her own playing with nods to him throughout. Personally, I think it was very well done. You can hear Stevie in there, but it's definitely Ally all the way. For me, the key to great blues guitar is not so much in the specific technique but instead in the ability to convey a mood or emotion to the audience. And here Ally demonstrates that her ability to do that is as good as anybody out there...even approaching the man himself, SRV. (Of course, who can honestly claim to be just as good as SRV? ...that list is very, very short) I know for a fact from speaking with her that Ally is far too humble to ever assume that.
I’m weeping like a baby right now. I’m so much into the way Stevie Ray played and not glancing at the screen but listening with headphones on I would think this is him. Now lol can she play behind her back? Can she lol tongue her strings like he did? I’d be really impressed if she did
So sad Stevie died so young. Only thing that gives me any peace is all of the future generations he has influenced. Maybe that was his destiny. Great tribute Ally. SRV = THE G.O.A.T.
When you toss a stone in the water, it creates ripples in all directions. SRV was the stone, but Ally is more than just a ripple, she is evolving into a force of her own.
I saw SRV in L. A. In 81 or so. He is the only person I have ever seen where he was 1 with his instrument. And I have seen many in my time and this is really good
First time I heard Hendrrix on the radio....1968 a carload... me and my army buds were entering Nogales at night...still remember vividly asking the Chicago guys "who the hell is that?!!" goose bumps...
Ok- there's a likelihood that what I say will be criticized so first Ally and her band are extremely adept and I would happily pay good money to attend a concert. As regards stylistic differences there were some passages where I felt Stevie would have (at least for part of his career) leaned into using a wah-wah pedal. Finger technique - Ally does exceptionally well but those ridiculously slow and ridiculously wide bends were not IMO as ridiculous as SRV somehow played them. I still liked this greatly so Thank You Ally & Co.
Guitar players are everywhere now that we are open to the world now, we see kids playing guitars like crazy. You know.. having said that she's a dime a dozen, even though she's good at what's she's doing. Just my opinion
