So true not even playing every day. Self taught at age 7 and the guitar never left his arms. Fell asleep with it and played in his sleep as well. He totally was absorbed by the guitar and the guitar was consumed by him.🎸🎶💙
I've heard some ridiculous comments on RU-vid. But this 1 takes the cake. After a year you are still figuring out the basics. Stopped listening immediately after that comment.
@@markmartin6365 If you've never played guitar you've got no point of reference. I wouldn't hold it against them. The point is they're enjoying an appreciating the music and musicianship.
Unless they only learned SRV tunes and had a lot of talent. I have heard several people do "Scuttle Buttin" well ,but not one had to look at their guitar.
People could practice for a lifetime and never play like that. Dude was all guitar, all the time. He LIVED the blues. That guitar was a spiritual experience for him - and for us in the audience.
I love both your names are Tom!! But just wanted to say EXACTLY!! Yo both your comments. Stevie,even TODAY, would be considered light years ahead of his Time. Much like Eddie Van Halen was.
@@Dxbroth Best response I think I’ve ever seen!! There’s so much you can say about This genius, guitar God, of a man. And just 2 words summed up, like I said best response ever!!
> People could practice for a lifetime and never play like that People do practice a lifetime and don't get even close to this. Even most well known guitar players don't get close to SRV.
Stevie Ray Vaughan was special. I've been playing guitar for 20 years and can't get anywhere near to how he plays this song. Some people are naturally gifted on top of working to perfect their craft. It's a disgusting level of talent.
I love how in most of these reactions you hear "I've never seen/heard anything like". They are all correct. SRV was special. He was a gift. The greatest to ever do it.
SRV=GOAT....speed, accuracy, flow, feel, pure talent, channeling soul through the guitar....humble and kind man as well....the world was a better place with SRV...performed like this multiple times a week for hours and hours all unbelievable and never they same way twice...just pure raw talent...other greats have said they felt like beginners on stage with SRV because it just came so easy to him whereas they had to put more effort in to sound as good
Truly a legend that is greatly missed. I have played at the El Mo about 8 years ago and yep it is hot on stage. It's a small venue in downtown Toronto that holds 500 to 600 people max, and the house lights are very low, almost blinding you. What a treat it was to have him give one of his greatest performances ever!
ANYTHING SRV plays live is awesome! His singing and playing in Tin pan Alley with Jonny copland or Living without you, in NJ really shows of his singing skills
I had the same reaction as you the first time I seen this...I said this is to sacred for public viewing 😅 it feels like a wreckless train ride he's taking us through but he gets all to our destination...still blows me away❤ great reaction!
There's a whole bunch of live performances that Stevie did that's worth watching. One really impressive one is where he and his older brother Jimmy Vaughn (of The Fabulous Thunderbirds) are playing the instrumental tune PIPELINE together at the same time..... on the same guitar. 😁
Take 15 years? Take a year?! Do you know he was the greatest guitar slinger in history? An absolute legend, where you knew his name before ever hearing anything by him? I would say it takes a big boost from God to even think about playing like that, a rare heart and soul, then focused practice and real experience on the road. He met and was friends with many greats, picking up skills in his travels playing bars and clubs and such. But that was your impression after seeing him for only a minute. I imagine you will be changing that estimate soon enough. Although when I saw Stevie live I new in 10 seconds I was in the presence of something extraordinary. And he kept it up for an hour and a half of mind blowing guitar magic. Something I think about this particular song. He's sings 'Man it's about to drive poor Stevie Ray insane'. The guitar that follows is supposed to be what his mind feels like as he's losing it. And when the guitar is behind his back it's like he's in mental handcuffs, or trying to get out of a mental straight jacket. Then his problem is solved, he knows what to do, he's leaving her, and with no guitar between him and the microphone it's like he's extra in your face when he says he's leaving. This is more than a song, it's like theater, except the agony and turmoil is expressed with relentless rapid fire notes and special effect guitar sounds full of anger and frustration. This is why Stevie Ray Vaughan was next level. His ability to play, but also his ability to express intense emotion. And his face, ha, he's living the anguish of his imagined predicament with all the phone lines down. I miss him terribly. I would see him every time he came to NYC, if I could get tickets. I saw him 7 times. I would always bring a date because half the fun of SRV was watching another person's mind get blown. These reactions are that fun again, on a small scale. SRV! The GOAT!
He was my best friend. He was a Great Brother. We where as thick as 2 bugs pn a bumper. I love em to death. He took me and my Sister Cheyenne places we never dreamed of. We had so much fun. ❤❤ Check out a song called Lenny and a song called Paradise. Every song he ever did was Great. Always gave 150% Every time he walked out on stage. I am Kiya Lynn Vaughan and my sister Cheyenne Marie. ❤❤ Stevie taught me everything I know. ❤❤ We all play Strats. He used 13 gage strings most of his life. The last 4 years he used 11 gage strings. He had Quarter inch holes in his fingers. He always had a kit with him it was a file some bakin' powder and some super glue. When his calas fell off he would fill up the hole with bakin' powder then add some super glue and skin graff his fingers back again. He did that all the time. He didn't have any finger prince on his left hand. The last 4 years he dropped the strings do wn to 11's. He did it all by ear and he did it all by his self arr brother Jimmie taught his Stevie a couple of cords. Stevie was only 7 years old. Stevie was one hell of a person. He would help anybody out if they needed help. Wheather it was bout the guitar or drug and booze addiction. He was always there. He went to alotta stuff like the Red Cross Twister relieve. March of times he did Jerrys kids. He was Awesome. He was Somethin' Special. I loved em to death. ❤❤
This is what I grew up with!!! This is music!!! Puts all ALL ALL current music talent to shame!!! No beats, no bars, no auto tune, no computer boards, no dancers.
I can tell you that I used to watch SRV in bars around Dallas when he was a TEEN and not even old enough to be in the bars. When you can play at this level; it's literally part of your DNA. You couldn't accomplish this in a year if you played every day unless you are one of the few with this embedded in your DNA. His brother Jimmy is a musician. A good one even but even he will tell you that this ain't normal and everyone cant do it even with practice. Some people attribute ot to fineness but SRV said he doesn't play with fineness. He said "I play like I'm breaking out of jail". Lol
One year??? Pffft! You higher than Stevie was if you believe that. (I saw him sober rt before he died & he tore a hole in the sky with his guitar 🎸 that night.) RIP Guitar God. One of few true Masters.
I used to see SRV and Double Trouble play every year at the pier in NYC. Always amazing and always had great warm ups. When I moved to Chicago, I got tickets, so my X could experience his show, but he died in a helicopter crash on the way from Wisconsin. 🚁😪 Such skills.
I usually don't comment - SRV had a talent that is difficult to duplicate. Born and raised in Texas, he and his brother were masters of the guitar, but he outshined his brother. There are few who could play in a lifetime like this - it is a gift. He died in 1990 - he was also influenced by Jimi Hendrix and even mimics some moves of Hendrix in some of his music. Two Hendrix pieces that he plays to perfection are Vodoo Child and Little Wing. Very few people can play behind their backs let alone forward as masterful as he did. He was on a totally different level. He also played with unusually thick strings that are difficult to play on.
I was (in school) in the concert, marching and jazz bands with saxophone and trumpet all the way from 1980-87. Then I heard SRV play "The Sky is crying", an Albert King cover and I haven't played either since. I got a stratocaster and been playing now for over 35 years.
I saw SRV at Mesker Park Amphitheater Evansville Indiana before the accident. Blew my metal Head away. Then I saw the Grateful Dead 6/28/92 peaking at the Creek. Good times
Being from Texas, the real trick with this particular song is to hear the rain, thunder & lightning. Heavy to light, thunderstorms are awesome & SRV will take you there. 🇺🇸💙
The true Mark of greatness is when you know instantly who's playing the guitar.. I had the exact same reaction to Stevie way back in 1980. He inspired me to want to pick up the guitar and learn to play it
SRV was and still is the greatest guitarist ever. Born and raised here in Dallas, Texas, SRV was our own and we take great pride and in claiming him as ours. Have missed him everyday since that horrible day in 1990 when SRV was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin. . SRV started playing the guitar when he was around 7 years old and around the age of 12 years old, he walked up to a stage where Blues Legend Albert King was playing and asked, can I play with you, which no one ever did that. SRV created his own genre, Texas Blues, which is more in your face, nasty, note bending, aggressive playing unlike the regular blues aka Chicago blues where you play a note and then sing a little for a bar or 2 then play another couple of notes...One side note...Hendrix was the innovator...SRV is the Master...One last side note...SRV played by ear only. Could not read music...SRV played size 12 strings, which are basically bass guitar strings. A normal guitar has size 6 strings. He truly was a God send from God Himself. Closest thing to SRV...Kenny Wayne Shepherd. If you ever wanna talk SRV, im here. I'll talk SRV 24 - 7 with y'all
Stevie was one of a kind. We are blessed to have been here at the same time he was. Oddly enough, Stevie didn't start out singing. Their band had a singer who quit right before a show they were scheduled to play. They wondered who they were going to get to sing when Stevie offered to "give it a shot." He couldn't read music. Everything he played just poured out from his soul. What an amazing God given talent!
Glad to see young people seeing and recognizing real talent. And as others have said, there is no way anyone is going to be this good after a year of practice! Stevie used extremely heavy strings to get that sound, which means you have to press really hard to get clear notes. As a result he would regularly rip off his fingertips - so he'd krazy glue them back on to keep playing!
So enjoy seeing the newer generations appreciating (perhaps even falling in love with!) Stevie Ray...I'm a Gen-X woman in Seattle who was lucky enough to see him live when I was 15, too young to really appreciate him at the time...he passed away in that helicopter crash less than a year later. Still getting chills from his music 35 years later...pay it forward y'all ❤
SRV is the goat. Rip I love seeing young people experiencing a master of the Blues. Albert King said Stevie would mystifie guitarists for generations. Do yourself a favor and listen to tin pan alle.
Check out Band Maid. Start with Domination live. Made me cry. It’s hard rock but I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I heard them. They are great.
It took his entire life, there aint no "1 year" and play like this. He is a Grand Master, knowledgeable in all things blues, could play you this song in 6 different and distinct blues styles and make it look effortless. That expression is often referred to as "Stank face", and you won't catch Stevie without it when he is jamming. Young pink lady said a mouthful when she calls out his endurance. The strings he played on were essentially the heaviest available practically playable strings, and he tears into them like they talked bad about his Meemaw. Want to go ahead and give props to the band, they murdered the fuck out of it, left no fuck unmurdered.
What you guys don’t know is that Stevie was at the height of his cocaine addiction during this period. He literally needed a glass of whiskey with a gram of coke mixed in just to get out of bed. This particular performance, he’d been resuscitated from a coma one hour before this performance. Now you know why he clenches his jaw, grinds his teeth and pours sweat like a river: Cocaine.
Watch him play, life without you, has a beautiful message too, gives you an insight to the person he was, he was the best yet humble. Anint gonna give up on love, shows his vocals, all his performances has something special
People who play for their entire lives still cannot play like this. It is a true gift from god. I really believe he was blessed with more musical ability than any normal human. Him and Hendrix and honestly from different worlds.
Mindblowing , one of my fav songs , performances from him .. I think he is the best and maybe jimmi hendrix is a close second ... but what a tragedy when he died Rip Stevie Ray
Sam him live 3 times in the 80's and he was spectacular.a quiet humble man who had beaten drugs & alcohol.i think he was just reaching his peak when a helicopter crash took him. I cried like lost child when they announced his death.
It takes a lot longer than a year, and it takes a lot more than just time. Everyone can improve over time, but not everybody can reach the levels that this man did. Very few can. He wasn’t playing the guitar, he was the guitar.
SRV is one of the all time greatest guitarist. He is sweating because he liked to play the heaviest gushers guitar strings available. His hand strength was absolutely incredible. RIP tragically lost in a helicopter crash at 35 years old in 1990
Y'all just watched a Master of the guitar! He was the best blue's guitarist of all time! "Life without You", Mary had a Little Lamb, and many many more!
I had the pleasure of seeing him many times when I lived in Dallas. was and experience of a lifetime. tragically he perished in a helicopter crash. taken from us way to soon. RIP Stevie
He started when he was at around 8 years old, with his older brother Jimmie Vaughan. I love that this is only three people with only three instruments and Stevie's vocals on a live stage. That's when I saw them the most. Soon came Reese on keys and more of a pro-show. But this is the stuff. Stink-face to high heaven.
Under the neon palms at the good old El Mocambo. It was a bar downtown in Toronto where the biggest acts played. The Rolling Stones recorded a live album there while the Prime Minister's wife was with them as their groupie The place brought out the electricity in the performers, and you never knew who might be there at a table.
Watch little wing same concert, will give u chills just watching him and his guitar and the emotions he feels every note. No need to look, think about what's next he literally don't even know I don't think he's along for the ride to lol! Goat@
Stevie was simply a god. The gauge he used on his strings would cause mere mortals to give up. His vocals just poured out like a fine wine You should check him playing a double neck with his brother
There’s never been anyone before or since that could play/sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan….not Hendrix, not Clapton etc…. Nobody. SRV is greatest of all time.
He and is brother starting playing when they were very young Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of the greatest guitar players ever he died before any of you were born and I saw him in concert.
