He hammered those strings. Do you see the hybrid picking?!?!? I’ve been to hundreds of concerts and I’ve never experienced anything close to SRV I was lucky enough to see him many times. It was like he was in his own world. But he was always present. Performing was his gift.

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness

I had the privilege of shaking, Stovie's hand , What a sweet man he was 😢I miss him so much much 😢

Steel strings aren't classified as normal tension or hard tension like classical strings. They are classified by string gauge. .013" is the gauge of his first string. This is very heavy. Most of us use a .010" 1st. It's been said that Stevie had very large strong hands, and that is why he was able to bend them heavy gauge strings. The heavy strings contributed a lot to his sound. RIP SRV.

Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo

The whole concert at Austin City Limits is worth a watch, were so lucky that there were so many live performances of Stevie and Double Trouble, because I think it will be some time before we see his like again.

Srv and Jeff Healy "look @ little sister"🔥 and Srv and Johnny Copeland "Tin pan Alley" 🔥

He's playing his "Number One" - a hand-me-down from his older brother when SRV was just kid (notice the body scars and boyish SRV decal!) PS: His brother is also an amazing guitarist!

Double Trouble is Stevie's band. He mentions them to spread the love.

SRV had very very strong hands this is one of his amazing traits on top of all his other incredible characteristics 🙏

The Goat❤ you will have to do Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland ❤ he is a Goat too, one of Stevie's best performances, both of them RIP❤❤❤❤❤❤

The movie you're thinking of is Crossroads.

LOVE Stevie's hotrod version

Jimi Hendrix father once said that the only one he really had love for playing Jimi,s songs were SRV. Guess that says a lot ❤ Take a look at his live of the song Texas Flood. He plays the blues like no one else. Forever rock in peace Stevie 😢❤

SRV is known for the .13-.56/58 set up in #1 Tuned to Eb w a TS-9 and a Dumble SSS for most live events Love the videos & if you’re doing another SRV, try an instrumental like Lenny or Riviera Paradise.

...and this playing gauge 0.13 strings!! Ahhh.... RIP Master!😍And thank you Mr Ruiz, for this! There is a story where one of his fingers cracked, and he solved by putting super-glue on it - and played on....

The karate kid movie is called crossroads Great movie There's just something that hits different when SRV plays that stick. You should check out life without you. He says pick people up when they're down and never push anybody down when they're up We're all brothers and sisters are you with me Then he makes it sing

If you havent seen Texas Flood @ El Mocambo, check it out. Best version he ever did!

Best Blues guitarist ever! Maybe of all Genres!

Stevie did play a 13 gauge high E string, which is VERY heavy, however the rest of his strings were a set of 11 gauge strings, which while sorta heavy, are still close to a standard string set in terms of tension.

One thing rarely mentioned is how good the rest of Double Trouble is.

hey I love your breakdown on these videos ! There is a guy who plays acoustic called Monte Montgomery the song is live and is called Little Wing

Elmacombo version of this is very very good my favorite!

My favorite song by anyone is SRV's version of Little Wing. Sooo good.

You must check out Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey-"Look at Little Sister ". Jeff was blind and had to sit with the guitar laid across his lap in order to play it. But, when the music begins to overtake him,he jumps up and does this wild playing/holding thing that he did,because he didn't use a strap. He literally is jumping,playing and holding onto that guitar as he rips it. It's the type of performance that will make you glad that are alive to witness such talent. Watch it, and prepare to be amazed. 👌

Double Trouble is the name of his band. Usually billed as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble.

That's not heavy....That's the Blues! Great job.

I think the movie with The Karate Kid you're thinking of, is "Crossroads", with Steve Vai (who played classical piece also), and the blues/slide guitar sounds came from a guitarist named Ry Cooder. Good movie to tie into here😊 keep up the good work

Guitar string sets are generally sold by the thickness of the High E string. Standard gauge are usually 10s, or 0.010 inch. He did play very heavy gauge string sets like 13s, but he also played tuned down a half step, so the strings were thick, but the tension on them was a bit lower than they'd normally be. That said, the guy bends the strings at the nut, which is still pretty insane.

I’d like to see your reaction to “little wing”, another cover by SRV.

if you haven't done it must listen to Texas Flood , Live at the El Mocambo

This is not "another" band. This is the only band he was ever with.

You made a really good point about the guitar strings as probably noted below. They are very heavy strings and bending on a Stratocaster guitar is harder due to its longer scale length than a Gibson-scale guitar. I heard testimony that even after decades of playing with tough calluses, Stevie would sometimes bleed after concerts. But that gave the tone and love!!

Lit! 🔥

Imagine if he was gifted 15 more years of life,learning and playing...Prolly still top 5 guitarist without 15 more years. RIP. Check out Eddie Van Halens solo. #age

Crossroads is the movie you mentioned.

John Lee Hooker - Serves Me Right To Suffer

Hey he does classical too. Check out "Riviera Paradise". That will be of you taste.

SRV was is and always will be the G.O.A.T

Check out Jeff Healey, Can You See The Light as well as As The Years Go Passing By. Both live versions are the best to react to. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey doing Look At Little Sister live. Keep on strummin!

Stevie is still my favorite of all time. If you want to hear a remarkable guitarist listen to Guthrie Govan. Try his tracks piece called the "fives". you'll not believe your eyes.

he started using 13s but lately used 11-15-19-28-38-58. still huge. he tuned his guitar in Eb like hendrix

#Voodoo Chile was written by the late Jimi Hendrix back in 1969 I believe. The melody had all the classic Hendrix sounds .. the 'wah, wah, wahs' and distortions .. that Jimi was forever known for. Stevie Ray covered 3 Hendrix songs, that I'm aware of .. #Manic Depression, #Voodoo Chile and #Little Wing .. the last two mentioned are the ones that SRV was widely known for. He took the songs, cleaned them up a bit by reducing some of the tone distortion, making the notes sharper and flow easier together. Stevie never changed the sound of Jimi's or anyone's song to the point it became unrecognizable. #Little Wing was originally written with lyrics .. However, SRV made it his own by performing it strictly instrumental. Lastly .. the movie you are thinking of is #Crossroads with Ralph Macchio. Macchio plays a young guitarist that becomes intrigued with blues music and a 'behind the scenes' sort of story about how blues musician and legend Robert Johnson had become so talented. Story goes that Johnson had gone down to the 'Crossroads' in the Mississippi Delta and sold his soul to the Devil himself just to know how to play blues guitar. To be the 'best of the best' .. I'm sure .. was in the fine print also. As Macchio reads on, he also comes across the story of a long, lost song of Johnson's given or lost along the way with the contract between Johnson and the Devil. Steve Vai plays the devils blues guitar virtuoso that battles it out at the end of the movie with Macchio.

Your the first reactor , at least that I've seen that got the name of the song right.

This is not the version everybody is looking for... When you find the right one you'll know it... Theres lots of windmills off the strings and him soloing behind his back 🤙🏻

My favorite version. I grew up on Hendrix, but I always prefer to listen to Stevie and Double Trouble.

Check out life without you at the capital theater

Bro, image search Stevie Ray Vaughan fingertips frethand. It shows what heavy strings and playing like he does will get you

The movie youre thinking of is “crossroads” with ralph macchio and jamie gertz. You really need to see his “texas flood” video. This is good, but that one is mind numbing. 13 gauge strings are very heavy for electric guitar. I prefer light strings and use 8 to 42 gauge strings. I have one telecaster strung with 7 to 38’s like billy gibbons.

Stevie was the only one to do Hendrix justice playing his songs. One of the only players to even attempt to play his stuff. I saw Stevie 4 times. Blown away every time. He mastered all the best blues players music and melled it all into his own style. GOAT!!!!!!!!!! RIP Stevie

"CROSSROADS" The Ralph Macchio movie you were thinking of.

GOAT

The GOAT OF GOATS! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 It’s his band Double Trouble, not another band🤨

The goat

Crossroads is the name of the movie where the karate kid battles the devil.

The GOAT...

🤩👍💥 💯🎼 Many comments about some movie, yet not another word who and on what album he became more known to wider audience before his solo career....Thanks for the late Mr. Bowie, at least for that and then some... 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

Stevie could play an acoustic guitar just as well, Ck him out in MTV unplugged.

Need to watch “little wing” and “Texas flood”

Like playing with piano strings 😮 Led Zeppelin has many blues songs. Eric Clapton and so many more. Hendrix If 6 was 9 or Spanish Castle Magic!

Yeah I stick to 9-46 because I don't play guitar in order to feel like I'm struggling lmao - there are a bunch of people who dropped to 8's for more accuracy in the sound bc thicker strings can be a little muddy. 13:35 on practicing for perfect passages vs improvisation: man it is so worth it to spend time on the latter and there is nothing like using a looper pedal - or the sequencer in a daw as a looper so you can add drums etc too - and just playing whatever comes to your hands for whatever riff you threw in there. The less time spent working rather than playing, the better. I promise you that doing this will recharge the aspect of you that sits down and works on specific things, it''s a feminine vs masculine energy split and paying attention to which energy you're in and flowing with that on the instrument is pretty fulfilling once you find a rhythm. Useful to sit and listen to those loops and *sing a guitar solo over them - it's like tapping into to stream of notes that your core knows are the right ones.

Also check out Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

🎸🎸🎸

Love Stevie Ray Vaughn. You need to check out some Jimmie Hendrix. If you want some crazy straight guitar look for Joe Satrianie

💯

❤ go with el mocambo

Voodoo child was first done by jimmi hendrix

Watch Texas Flood

Please. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, The Allman Brothers, Live at Filmore East, 1971. Please. Trust me.

You mentioned Metallica and then ad pops up with their guitarist selling some kind of practice app.

That's something classical guitarists will never get the passion with the blues bend them strings baldy

HIS last name is pronounced "VAWN"

Can you please react to Paco de Lucia "Tico-Tico"?

All of our good rock ‘n’ roll come from blues and jazz, just ask Black Sabbath!

STEVIE is the badest blues player, still love Hendrix but SRV took it a step further 😅

I think he used heavy gauge strings a loose tune and a lot of cocaine! 🤟🏼

It's good but the original version by Hendrix is better, and that one isn't a rip-off.

Just pronounce it 'von'.

You need to find a better way to separate your comments from the music. I couldn't hear or understand about 80 percent of what you were saying.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ! Movie is crossroads
