Jimmie Vaughan ‘Six Strings Down’ [Live Performance] - The Blues Kitchen Presents... 

I love Jimmie Vaughan and everything he represents. People often want to compare him to Stevie and criticize his more minimalistic / restrained style. But the man is his own artist. His playing is so tasteful, and he’s an utter master at his craft. He recognizes that it’s the silence between the notes that makes the music. The universe blessed us with his talent. Cherish him while we still have him - he’s a walking gallery of the blues. God bless you, Jimmie Lee Vaughan, and the Texas blood that runs through your soul.

I know he was a great musician, and I know people love his music and think about him that way, but I miss my little brother. - Jimmie Vaughan

This song makes me cry. Every time. Anyone else?

Stevie has visible power when he plays blues, but Jimmie has invisible power when he plays blues - John Doe

one guitar, one amp, one man, one soul...very intimist blues. R.I.P Steevie

Jimmie is a very underrated musician

I love how his vocal hangs way way back on the beat while that thumb relentlessly keeps on it- so much soul, so cool. Love this version!

Jesus Jimmie, you’re gonna make me cry and I’m at the office tryna work. Breaks my heart man. Much love and appreciation for you my friend. Vaughan’s are the reason I play the blues every night when I go back home from my 10 hour shift and I’m alone in my small apartment. Just when I start playing I feel like no trouble matters, I can just play it all away. Thank you for showing me a way out.

Jimmie's singing sounds great on this, like an old blues singer from way back. Thanks Jimmie and respect to your brother.

The greatest tribute anyone can give to Stevie.

I was lucky enough to see Jimmy and Stevie on stage together at Chastain Park in ATL. It's always been the most memorable show I've seen, and Ive seen a bunch in my 60 years.

This is the first time I’m ever hearing him. Stunned!

Jimmie has one of the most distinctive tones and touch out there.

I got to see Jimmie at the New Daisy Theatre in Memphis. It was either his first or second show after Stevie died. Right when Strange Pleasure came out. Maybe '92 or '93?? He did this song, and could barely get through it. Emotions very high still at that time. It was a great show, and even Rene Martinez did a flamenco guitar number. He was awesome as well. I went back into the theatre after everyone had left, and caught Jimmie by himself walking up the isle alone, and I got to shake his hand and he gave me an autograph. One of the coolest events in my life...I think I was 18 at the time, never will forget it.

I had the pleasure of bumping into Jimmie on his way into his gig in Beverly last Friday. He was super cool and even though he was probably in a hurry to get backstage and ready for his show he stopped for a minute, said hi shook my hand and took a picture with me. But during the show i knew he was going to play Six Strings Down and when he did everyone else left the stage there was a single spotlight on him and this man just poured his feelings out into that strat, and damnit I've heard this tune so many times before but ill admit i started to tear up hearing it live

Sometimes I get so sad thinking about Stevie's death. This helps. Absolutely incredible.

This is blues. "Blues is true, that's what blues is." - Brownie McGhee.

Gets you in the feelings, Rest in peace Stevie Ray. And love for Jimmie.

one of the coolest cats & players ever

Jimmy has this quietly cool vibe and is so underrated not just as a guitarist but a singer

I had to sit and watch jimmie play this at least 6 7 times so i could learn this tune myself jimmie knows how use that capo now i been pluckin to this one all night .

You're nothing but class, like American made products, no duplications. Live long my friend. As the Vaughan brothers will in my heart. The go to blues guys now. Prestige, pristine.

JLV is the coolest and down to earth blueser. Much love from Germany

After all the interviews and quotes I read about how much Stevie looked up to Jimmie, I think he would be incredibly moved by that performance.

This song is genius, absolutely brilliant

You couldn't play like this if you tried. This is pure passion and feeling.

Just got back from seeing Jimmie at Bethel Woods, NY, I said hello and asked him for a guitar pic.. I told him that I play as well... he gave me one and signed my concert ticket, Wow!! What a wonderful pleasure it was to meet up sir. Thank you.. you have white doves around you. Bless you. And thanks.

I met Jimmie on the Blues Ballads and Favorites tour. I had bought his new album at the merch booth. They were all sealed. He said "who's got a key?" and proceeded to slice open the albums to sign them. Then pulled me in for a hug. Thanks JV.

Can't help but get teary eyed when Jimmie plays this song... it's so heartfelt.... wasn't aware that The Neville Brothers wrote the song...R. I.P. Stevie ✝️🙏🎸😎

Real blues. It makes me cry. Jimmie is such a sensitive player..😢

This makes me cry.. doin the best he can, and he is doin it better than anyone else could do❤

People of the world didn't have it together but you and stevie did that's why the the good lord and us will always love you. Legend.

Jimmie, you're The Big Boss Man

Wow,Jimmy sir when hear you sing this a tribute to your awesome and legendary brother Stevie up in Gods with all those other legendary blues guitarist, Freddie, Otis, BB King , Muddy Waters and...I love it and listent to all our blues legends up with our Lord...and God bless you when your time comes...this song with fitting to with another blues players journey back home as well ❤❤❤❤😊

I love it when Blues greats just sit with their guitar and an amp and just let the feeling run through their fingers. This will be one of those videos I will always go back to just like the Robbie Robertson and Willie Dixon video.

This is EPIC!!! Love you Vaughan brothers !!! RIP Stevie Ray ❤️

Haunting performance... deep. Made me cry.

Exactly what it stands for: legendary great Blues🎸

Jimmie in my book is as blues as it comes. No hammer ons needed.

really likin' that gold strat. it fits him and sounds great.

He played this in Toronto last night as the opener before Clapton and this song blew me away.

American treasure from Austin Texas. Thank God we can see this. Brother to Brother.

I heard Stevie first like most guitarists but Jimmie is a master. I like how he said "when Stevie got killed?" Instead of died. Im not sure if anyone has written one yet but Stevies life is a blues song.

A hard song to listen to very emotional

Perfect tone.

I was in Austin in September working the Austin City Limits music festival and I was fortunate enough to be working on the stage that Jimmie opened the second weekend and after his set I got the pleasure of talking to him and I told him that I take Stevie with me wherever I go and showed him my SRV tattoo on my right calf

Man I remember the day we lost Stevie, I was in disbelief, I though only 16 or 17 at time was bummed out heart broken, he was a idol to me and my friends, hurt then and still hurts today, just never made sense to me why he had to go in prime. Jimmie thanks for this, stay healthy, appreciate this.

OK well I cried hard that was beautiful Jimmie thank you

I met Jimmie in 2001 when I was 18 from Australia alone and running amuck in Texas & was lucky enough to get a signed album. Think he appreciated my sense of adventure being so young in a ruthless place haha. Visited his brother's grave too, although its hard to stand near it for anyone who has been there.

This is the best bit of blues guitar I’ve ever heard. Jimmie oozes soul and groove.

No wonder Stevie was so awesome. Imagine growing up watching Jimmie play. Unreal

The single greatest moment in any convert I've been to is when jimmy vaughan played this song at our blues fest and the entire audience stopped moving stopped talking and just starred in awe of this incredible monument of music tribute ever recorded

I'm here in tears my brother listening to you sing white boots with stevie and I believe for my book you and stevie were the most underrated guitarists ever and I love everything yous ever did. And jimmie you are a great guitarist better than you ever got recognition for. Love always you good texan.I love you brother. Roll and I'll just feel somethin.

Love Jimmie,his music makes me feel safe.

His feel, note selection and humanity make him one of my all time guitar hero’s

Brings tear to my eye

A legend singing and sending this out to his brother Stevie Ray Vaughan by Jimmy Vaughan..Sensational words ...great performance..never to be forgotten Stevie Ray Vaughan..

Jimmie's the real F'n deal

This here is some real deal heavy shit... like RL Burnside / T-Model Ford level of heavy.

Jimmie is the coolest cat around in my opinion. greatness! When I take road trips I listen to Jimmie Vaughn, when I am at the Lake I listen to Jimmie Vaughn, When I am sitting / smoking a cigar, when I am having a beer, or just chillin there is none better than Jimmie Vaughn.

the right place to be for a lifetime. We still here Jimmy Sir.

Awesome Jimmie...RIP Stevie we love you forever.

The fantastic Jimmy Vaughan.... great!

I was very fortunate to run into Jimmie in a little music shop in Lexington,I remember him walking in and plugging into a fender tweed cranked all the way up ,I got to jam a brief couple minutes with a legend ….great memory

Stunning version!!!

Great performance..Jimmi Vaughan ,a blue's legends and rock..

Love this song! What a tribute to SRV and how cool heaven must be with them there!

I'm weeping buckets , feeling your love. ❤ So sorry for your loss.

GREAT to see Jimmy here...can't wait to see him with Buddy n Charlie this summer😎

Man this format really is Jimmie at his best. It's totally different than SRV and really shines in a more solo setting like this.

Thank you and long live you and Stevie Ray. Let the good times roll.

Rolled Cuffed jeans. Silver capped Cowboy boots. Slick hair. Guitar picking. Not many are as cool as Jimmie. I love that he always had his own style different from Steive.

He died about 7 miles from our. I guess we were busy because I didn't even know he was around until hearing it on the radio. What a great loss. He is dearly missed by many people.

Great show at Dingwalls Camden Jimmie on Friday, awesome band too.

Sensational..thank you Jimmy Vaughan

Jimmy & Stevie both are a blues encyclopedia

Certified Legend

I remember the first time I saw SRV on Austin City Limits on a small black and white many years ago and when I heard Jimmie with the Fabulous Thunderbirds that was it for me . I love to listen to these Guys play .

My favorite of all time, past and present, sine the mid 1980s.

Thanks for sharing Jimmie! He is up there with the other blues greats!!

Mister Jimmie!!!! We gonna be alright Darlin'💜❤️💜❤️💜

Conviction of the soul that connects the heart to the hands. That's the ingredient that makes these Vaughan brothers superhuman. When I heard Stevie and Jimmie for the first time, I somehow knew that I would never try to play like them. Because I knew it only works for them. They made me want to find my own magic. And Jimmie singing about Stevie... Just makes me want to sit quiet.

was living in south tejas in the middle 70's til the mid 80's, have seen Jimmie and a lot of other great Tejas artists !

Props to Eric Clapton, name dropping JLV "Definitely Jimmie Vaughan, he’s probably at number one, and Robert’s not far behind,” Clapton said when discussing who would be his equal in the guitar space. “These guys have stayed true to their principles all the way through. So commercial success hasn’t really swayed them off the path.”
