First Time Hearing "Stevie Ray Vaughan" - Voodoo Child 

SRV was a force and his talent supernatural. Taken way too soon. 🙏🏼❤️

I'm glad you shouted out the rest of the band because yeah they are incredible. It takes a lot of talent and really being in the moment to be able to hold down the fort with somebody like him. He can go so far out there but he's always 100% aware of the beat, it's like he goes on autopilot so he can express as much as he wants and then he can bring it back in but yeah the band just is killer. And he's played with these guys for a long time and in fact I think he and the drummer go way back. I think they're really good friends and help think up song ideas and Arrangements together or something. Michael, if you go back and listen to it again, just like you were saying it's easy to be mesmerized by his performance and forget that this band is doing a lot of heavy work as well? I would encourage you as a guitarist, if you really want an additional aspect of why he was so incredible and so at home on stage with his equipment, even though you want to see every nanosecond of what he is doing with his left hand while he is fretting, take a pass at it and try to focus only on his right hand as much as you can. It's very very busy. I mean if you take your gaze away at all you might miss something. And I know a little about this because when I play live I do constantly adjust my tone control and my volume and I do switch between pickup selections but this guy takes it to this just master level. He'll also reach up and adjust fine-tuning on a string that may be going out slightly to his ear and it's only a fraction of a second. He'll bend over and make an adjustment on an effects pedal and bop right back up within a beat or two. And then you also get to notice what he's doing with not only all those things, but also the whammy bar and basically just his picking and strumming techniques. He's got s very busy right hand which I freaking love.

What is so amazing is how quickly he changes the pickup selector switch in a millisecond. Hard to catch as he is lightning quick. Also volume and tone alterations. The man was a genius! God Bless Stevie Ray!!!

This is a Hendrix tune, synthesized and rebroadcast by the best guitar player I ever got to see live. A cover that's so much more.

SRV is,was,and will always be the GOAT! Period, let’s hear it for that flawless rhythm section...Double Trouble!😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love your reactions being blown away by SRV!!! My introduction to SRV was "Mary had a little lamb". I wasn't even a fan of that genre but SRV changed all that!!! Thanks for sharing!

After he got off coke and booze, he was afraid the music would be gone. But obviously, it was not only not gone, but cleaner and more powerful than ever. I love these 1989 Austin City Limits performances.

I was fortunate enough to see him live 3 months before he was taken. What an experience to see him play.

Double Trouble is his permanent band. Tommy Shannon is the bassist and Chris Layton is the drummer. Later they added Reese Wynans on keyboards. They still play together sometimes. My brother is a professional musician and sometimes jams with them, among other well known people. Great guys, all of them.

During his brief recording career (1983-1990) his band stayed basically the same: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. SRV lead guitar and vocals, Chris Layton drums, Tommy Shannon bass. A couple of years into it Reese Wynans was added on keyboards. They are all now in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

He had amazing tech and style of string contact. He has distortion cracked to 11 so it's there when ever he wants it, but he can strum and pick so smooth and light it sounds like he has the settings set for clean. And he can use that set up at lightning speed. One of the fastest R&R players outside of death, dark, black metal.

Being a guitar player yourself, you know about string Gage. SRV used 13 gage strings!! you see how SRV was bending the strings on some of those notes? He had fingers of steel. Normal guitar players use 9-10 or maybe 11 gage...... But 13!!!!! The man was a beast

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble was a group to be among the best of the best bands... They are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and that must mean something... Check out one of their full concerts on youtube and you will be a forever fan...

SRV Life Without You live is another amazing performance you will have to react to

♥ the 🐐 of 🎸 SRV! Life without you- capitol theater NJ 1985 Tin pan alley - with guest Johnny Copland

its been said, of guitar players, your left hand is "what you know", and your right hand is "who you are",,,,left hand is how many chords you know, and right hand is how you play it

Congrats, you just had the same reaction the rest of us did back in the 80s! 😲😮😮 I still clearly remember the day he died 8/27/90

When he died I was 19 years old and just had my first child I can remember crying all night long.

I cried the day he died. such a loss, not only was he a virtuoso on the guitar, but was a nice, humble person. His bandmates, double Trouble were on point, as if they were one unit with Stevie. Double Trouble later played in Arc Angels and an excellent, overlooked band "Storyville" who had a killer vocalist (Malford Milligan). ...Thanks for your reaction

I love the act that you’re discovering Stevie Ray, but why, oh why, is there a bottle of mayonnaise behind your head on the couch?

you gotta watch his unplugged session on mtv it was beyond amazing on a 12 string acoustic!

The original is called Voodoo Chile Slight Return on the "Electric Ladyland" album by Jimi Hendrix.

Please listen to his live at the El macombo version of third Stone from the Sun. His guitar literally sounds like a buzzsaw cutting through the very fabric of time and space, and it's an experience you will not soon forget! It's likely you've never seen anyone physically beat up their guitar to make music!

Weird, but I also keep a jar of mayo on the back of my couch. I thought it was just me.

It's the Mayo Man! The band is Double Trouble.

His band’s name is Double Trouble. They were incredible.

Stevie used the heaviest guitar strings available and it's said he used super glue on his fingertips when he played. He got his first guitar as a 5 or 6 year old and between him and his brother, Jimmie, they were pretty much self taught. Jimmie has this guitar now. Great reaction!

You should check out "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmiie Vaughan Pipeline" the video!!!

OK next should be Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copland !

Did you listen to Jimmy Hendrix do this song years before.

Michael, you need to listen to Stevie’s version of “Mary Had A Little Lamb” next. Simply incredible!

You should check out Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Healey playing Look At Little Sister. Two incredible performers!

Hi coming from England Growing up listening to Rock Music now aged 66 And is the reason why I love Rock Music 👍👍

This is a cover of a Jimi Hendrix original song - I like Stevies version better, JMO Hendrix was great too ==== Youve only scratched the surface hes got many more songs of all kinds - try the song: "Leave My Little Girl Alone" another bad SRV Jammer......

Hey Michael. Stevie Ray loved playing with Buddy Guy. You should check out Buddy Guy and John Mayer “What Kind Of Woman Is This?” Live at Farm Aid. Just incredible Blues Players.

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats Stevie's band was "Double Trouble": Chris Layton - Drums Tommy Shannon - Bass Reese Wynans - Keys Now watch him play 3/4 of this song behind his back... **Voodoo Child at Starwood Theater in Nashville**

You've probably never heard Buddy Rich's impossible drum solo or Edgar Winter bands Frankenstein. That would be two good ones to react to.

This is a Jimi Hendrix song. SRV was great but I like Hendrix’s version more. You should listen to the entire Electric Ladyland album.

His band was called Double Trouble. His brother Jimmie Vaughn was with The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Stevie is a GOAT..love it...💃💃❤️

You need to see "Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (from Live at the El Mocambo)", specifically.

The name of the band was Stevie ray Vaughn and Double trouble!!! He toured with them as a band since 1981. After playing a Blues gig with Eric Clapton and a bunch of legends well after the show he decided to take a helicopter back to Chicago and as soon as it took of with in 30 seconds because of the fog it hit a large hill crashed and killed him as well as everyone who was on there!!! He was just starting to Crush, just released his 5th or 6 Album and died at 35!!! August 27 1990. You play guitar imagine using 13"s for your high E and 58 or 62 for his lower E. See how your fingers feel after a couple of minutes of bending those strings!!! Check out Austin city limits he did a few out concerts there!! Just look in to him and learn who he was and his history!!! GBY my friend. Dave

This was Stevie Ray's homage to Jimi Hendrix.

Stevie Ray Vaughan had a Canadian prodigy, his name was Jeff Healey plays just as good as Stevie Ray Vaughan or any of the other guys on that level. But the real different thing is he is blind and plays his guitar on his lap. You should check out some of his videos they are mind-blowing.

SRV was the real deal. On my top 5 or so guitarist list. ** Check out. Joe Satriani -“Satch Boogie” (from Satriani Live). It has the great Jeff Campatelli on drums. Or the song “Circles”. from the same show ( From Satriani Live).

SRV's version is a fairly close cover of the original recorded by Jimi Hendrix in 1968 on his "Electric Ladyland" album. SRV was probably the only one who could do it justice after Hendrix. Hendrix's version is more raw and in-your-face. Both versions are great.

I love Hendrix but I gotta say, Stevie's rendition of Voodoo Child tops Jimi's. It's just more growly and gutsy. Super gritty and soulful and everything that song was meant to be.

You should check out his full MTV unplugged performance plays a 12 string acoustic better than anyone can play a 6 string its just mind boggling

drummer/bassist are called "double trouble" and they are srv and double trouble,,question is, for bassist/drummer, who the hell do you work for/with now? how can you possibly top srv?

Double Trouble was his long time band. Also played often with his brother Jimmy Check out Lenny since you enjoy instrumental

Check out “Little Sister” I believe that is where he breaks a string and does a guitar change and doesn’t miss a note! I’m pretty sure it’s in this same show! BB King called him his Son! Gone way too soon! RIP SRV!🙏🕊

If you want to see the original and infinitely better, look up Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

You've got a long way to go yet. Enjoy.. I'd start listing some, but there are so many, including a video of his brother Jimmy and and him playing the same guitar, at the same time. A double neck 12 string and 6 string. A fair amount of accustic as well can easily be found. You don't have to react to all of it, of course.

Check out Stanley Jordon Stair Way To Heaven cover. He plays two separate guitars at once.

SRV's band was Double Trouble, who are still active. Since you play guitar, take another look at the strings SRV uses and then think about what he does with them. You could almost use those things on your Jeep winch!

And that's Stevie Ray having fun! ❤ We miss you, SRV.

If you want to see him play really fast, check out Scuttle Buttin'. He started all his concerts with that song. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-guSZJPBiJ-ok.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OheUp_64Aho.html

It's said he used 13 gage strings which are like cables. Awesome guy.

This is a very nice cover of an old Jimi Hendrix song. Jimi used a 3-piece band and a lot less technology.

“I’ve been playing guitar for 5 years and never seen anybody this good”… I subscribed.

You should check out his guitar sound check where he is wearing a leopard coat I think you will enjoy it but remember it is just a sound check

STEVIE RAY IS THE GUITAR. NOPE THAT BAND WAS HIS DOUBLE TROUBLE. CHRIS ON DRUMS AND TOMMY ON BASS AND REESE ON KEYBOARDS.

You should have seen him live! There’s nobody like Stevie Ray.

Seen 2 of your reaction videos what's up with the mayo jar by your head

Stevie used 13 gauge strings they’re like cable wires no guitarist ever has used strings that thick! They say he has used as small as 12 and as large as 17 gauge and he often would slice his fingers tips that he would superglue back on so when you see him pressing against those strings or you could say cable wire he put all his strength into that and no guitarist has ever done that!

If you are a SRV fan you must read Texas Flood. Such a good book 🎶🎵

Rumor was, he never played this song the same twice. Kudos to the band for keeping up.

The GOAT my man.

React to guns n roses. Welcome to the jungle and sweet child o' mine. Please

Wait till you see him play it behind his back. With the SAME skill.

Best 3 piece band since Cream with Eric Clapton. Way before your time but well worth your time to listen also. SRV was said to use 13 gauge strings most times until later when he eased up on his hands. Most guitarists were using 9's or 10's (except for ZZ tops Billy Gibbons who swore you didn't need to work so hard and used 7's and 8's) 😀 You might want to search out all the great guitar players of the past. You'll be extremely impressed by what's be done by many of them. SRV is known by many musicians to have been one of the best if not the best. You'll get arguments with that. I choose not to compare. It sucks that when he rid of his demons he died in a helicopter crash. One of my favorites by SRV is "Lenny". Very clean bluesy song shows off his other side. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i5sqJNFFwqc.html&ab_channel=stevierayvaughnVEVO

Check out, Look At Little Sister, but don't blink

yeash ivr seen jimmy hendrix use his thiumb alot to, tink stevie may have seen that?

Fun fact he had his hats custom made he could not find any on the rack he could wear

SRV was a force of nature. He had two speeds- fast and insane. God bless his soul.

The song is really supposed to be Voodoo Chile

Love the jar of mayo on the back of the couch, man.

Hellmans behind your head

If there was a Mt. Rushmore of guitarist SRV would definitely be there. Dude was amazing.

Check out Little Wing (live).

He would be well into his 60s now. If only...

My favorite ever,thank you.

What Stevie did to a guitar is illegal in all 50 states.

If you want to see incredible guitar playing, please check out Joe Satriani's "Flying in a blue dream" live in San Francisco and Steve Vai's "Tender surrender".

There will never be another SRV!

Now we're talkin"....

I don't know that we enjoyed this video not even half as much as you did, you give great great reactions Michael.

Incredible talent!

Is he due the title goat? If not, who then.? I've been listening to guitar players since the late sixties. I haven't heard better and by a wide margin.

How about a little Jimi instead. SRV was a monster but this is a cover.

I love SRVs cover I just don't like that he played it too fast.

Favourite musician ever.....now check out his brother Jimmy Vaughan & the Fabulous Thunderbirds!!

He's the Greatest Guitar Player on the Face of the Planet. Bar None. NOBODY'S BETTER THEN HIM. HE'S RIGHT HANDED. ❤❤❤❤

Being a guitar player yourself, know that SRV's hands were so strong, he used size 13 strings and raised the frets so he could "grab" the strings better. He often tore off the calluses on his fingers and super glued them back on. He even chipped a tooth playing like Hendrix once...vid on RU-vid.

@Michael Duffy you need to listen to Randy Bachman ... the Guess Who & BTO Joe satriani ... flying in a blue dream David Gilmore... Pink Floyd Slash... guns and roses ..... you must be very young to not know who these ppl are

GOAT💪💪💪

See how cool and amazing he plays that guitar Great sound Glad to hear your great review until the end of the show See you soon

The GOAT.

For the busiest rhythm guitar part for a song probably ever written and definitely played..... Check out Stevie Ray Vaughan "Scuttle Buttin' "

WHAT A BANGER! Originally done by Jimi Hendrix!
