There's a whole world of SRV for you to discover. You should try "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo, "Tin Pan Alley" live at Montreaux with Johnny Copeland in '85, "Dirty Pool" live at Montreaux in '82, "Hideaway/Rude Mood" live at Montreaux in '82. SRV is the absolute GOAT at guitar. His voice is underrated also. Such an amazing, talented musician taken from us too soon. I grew up listening to classic rock/blues and Stevie has always been a favorite of mine. Unfortunately, I was 3 years old when he died and never got to see him perform live.
At the end that was a "whammy" bar (actually called a tremolo) on his guitar. You can't teach what Stevie does. It's in your soul. You can feel that when Stevie plays. He started playing at 7 and at this point, had probably been playing 25 years.
@@charlesreactss Everybody says that when people see/hear SRV play, those who don't play guitar want to learn, and those who do play want to throw their guitars away.
He uses Jimi Hendrix's wah-wah pedal -- you can see him step forward when the sound gets altered -- at the start and a tad at the end. Jimi's family knew of SRV's appreciation and love of Jimi and let him use -- or gave him -- some original JH equipment.
@@artbagley1406 It was given to Jimmy after he loaned Jimi his own wah pedal after Jimi's broke during a show (Jimmy's band was opening for him). Jimmy later gave it to Stevie.
Nobody was stealing from Stevie. Stevie stood on the shoulders of blues and rock giants and honored them all as The Great Blues Guitar Amalgamator. Unshakable sense of rhythm, backbone in every lick, harrowing vocal delivery... style, swagger, fire... LEGEND.
You've opened the door to the GREAT STEVIE RAY VAUGHN!, you've got to check out his live at EL MOCAMBO TEXAS FLOOD!!! You're in for a real treat. Definitely his live TIN PAN ALLEY WITH JOHNNY COPELAND!! RIP STEVIE RAY VAUGHN 💜💜💜
Stevie was using a wah-wah pedal that used to belong to Jimi Hendrix. He personally asked Jimi's family for permission to cover this song, and Jimi's father gave him the pedal as a gift. Jimi was one of his biggest idols, and it's been said that no one covered Jimi better than Stevie. He wasn't just covering him here, he was channeling him in a way all his own. Here are some more suggestions for you: Texas Flood (Live at the El Mocambo): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KC5H9P4F5Uk.html Tin Pan Alley (with Johnny Copeland): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AGPx-ekqZEo.html Love Struck Baby / Rude Mood: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O4IKddEs5xs.html Riviera Paradise: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3c_8VUL5jks.html Everything he did was awesome; those are just for a start. Stevie Ray is always best experienced live. His studio recordings were great, but his energy really came out on stage. Each live performance was unique because he made a point of never playing any song the same way twice. Thankfully we can now watch many of them on YT and choose our favourites. Sadly he died in a helicopter crash in 1990, but he will live on in his music. I'm so happy you're discovering him and spreading the word to others! Hope you enjoy my suggestions!
I just subscribed to your channel after seeing your reaction to my all time favorite SRV!!! I echo comments below. Personally, I think Texas Flood live from El Macombo is the next must in a long and great line of work.
that riff has been used in everything from wrestling to guitar hero to rap music, Voodoo Child was written by Jimi Hendrix and Stevie covers it in his own style to pay homage to Jimi.
Oh PLEASE react to his song “ Riviera Paradise live in Austin Texas “ he doesn’t shred or show off in his usual way but this is what I consider a “grown up “ song. It has tons of feels and so so smooth. A laid back chill instrumental that captivates.
Greeting Charles... SRV is like you just discovered Gold! Please pull-up any and all of his work, he's amazing! Also, you put emojis on the screen, ha!
That was an attentive reaction, maybe in part because you've had some prior music instruction. Another guitar player to check out is Gary Moore, and Still Got The Blues would be a good start. I had to laugh, cause it looked like you were doing the Texas Two Step from your chair. Most important just starting out, and the facet of your brothers' personality I most admire: Don't give up. You'll find your groove...
When you get a chance you should check out “Life with out you” live at capital theater 1985, very powerful message in the song and some of the crazies guitar playing you will ever see.
SRV never had a guitar lesson and was strumming on the guitar from the age of seven. He's older brother Jimmie Vaughan founded The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Jimmy is a guitar master in his own right! Check out from SRV the following give me back my wig, stang's Swang, the sky is crying, Riviera Paradise, Mary Had a Little Lamb
Welcome to the wonderful world of Stevie Ray Vaughan you should check out Texas Flood and Little wings live at El Macombo or his sound check where he is wearing a leopard coat and when you do just keep in mind it is a sound check and he had just woke up . Or check out life without you or ain’t gonna give up on love love at the Capital Theater either one you will not be disappointed.
People say that SRV took Jimi's style and raised it by several bars! Yes baby! My heart always aches when I see him again on vids. (Saw him 3 times before he was killed. Really affected me and my biker, yes biker, friends who couldn't get enough of him) And just like the huge influence Jimi had on guitar players, the same was said by guitar players after SRV, how much he influenced them to a higher level. Miss that boy!
I'm 23 and discovered stevie when I was 12 and never stopped listening since the more you watch the more your jaw drops was truly one of a kind great reaction man 👍
Stevie was a freaking wizard. Greatest I've ever seen....though certainly debatable with Jimi Hendrix. But there's a reason all of the great blues artists of the day wanted to collaborate with him. Dude was insane!!! So missed!
As you can see, Stevie’s mind goes to a different place when he plays. His body is on cruise control as his mind is channeling the music into his hands and fingers.
He was savage. Played with strings like cables. 13s. He'd still break em. When the calluses ripped off his fingers he'd super glue em back on and keep playing.
Another SRV mind-blower is, on "Look at Little Sister," when he pops a string and the stage crew keeps SRV from missing a single beat/note by strappin' on a replacement guitar like magic! Watch closely at 2:36 for the broken wire: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3woPVQExDsQ.html
The reason it sounded like Dangelo's Lady is because that type of guitar (Stratocaster) has that distinct twang. Lady is the only song I can think of with that upfront kind of country twang. And it really was not dangelo so much as Rapheal Saddiq. He wrote and produces the song as well as played that part you are talking about in the song.
SRV takes the "fantasy" outta Voodoo Child and adds tons o' GUTZ!!! In this combo, drums by Chris Layton and on bass is former Johnny Winter bandmate Tommy Shannon -- they are called "Double Trouble." This is one of the all-time best 3-man groups; in a few years, a keyboardist, Reese Wynans was brought on-board -- and the group sounded even better (if you can fathom that!). A sample of Mr. Wynans' work is on the "Look at Little Sister" video (here): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3woPVQExDsQ.html
He adjusted a control on a pedal on the floor, Judging from the sound it was a "Gain" or "Dirt" pedal , He turned either the gain or the volume on the pedal down a little because he was getting a tiny bit more feedback than he wanted (hi pitched noise,) that's the short answer, if you want to know what specifically and why, and generally how electric guitar sounds are set up...read below The Gain = the amount of dirt or "overdrive" the guitar has You get 3 main types of dirt pedals, Overdrive which is smooth, Distortion , which is thicker, very Metal, can be very aggressive and Fuzz which is just a huge Messy fuzzy sound, SRV used Tubescreamers a lot, a Tubescreamer is pretty much the fist ever Overdrive pedal Like I said it could also have been the volume on the pedal, that he changed, here is why (similar affect on the sound) Volume= is the volume but also affects "dirt" being made by the amp (Guitar amps can make the sound dirty) The more volume going into the amp from the guitar and whatever pedals into the front of the amp, the more dirty the amp will make the signal, but its a very specific type of dirt, and Amp dirt is somewhere between Overdrive and Distortion, many amps can do both, Amp dirt is usually the core of the sound. Pedals can sound like amps , but usually its slightly different and pedal tend to be used to add an extra little nuance to the sound that the player likes. Like a very muffled amp might need a Bright/Treble boosting Overdrive to help the signal cut through the dirt, or an amp that lacks dirt may need a little boost from a pedal, or sometimes, the pedal has a characteristic that sounds great blended int the natural amp tone/sound So many guitarists individual sound is their own balance of a Pedal and amp dirt, and how the volume affects the amp from the pedals Things like, strings types of guitar, pickups, amp, speakers and pedals , even the picks they use , all making a difference to the sound as well Amp and Speakers, then drive pedals are most of the sound, the guitar and the strings and even the pick ups are less of a dominant factor in the sound
That is a lucid, well thought out and concise explanation. I would argue that pickups play a major part in my sound. I have guitars with single coil, humbuckers, filtertron and P90. All good.
Please react to Charlie Pride Kiss An Angel Good Morning. He passed away recently from Covid, another great one gone because of this stupid illness. All 3 of y'all should watch it together.
"He playing the guitar ain't he?!?" Naw homie, he just looking at it HAHA I love the little emojis and stuff thats a cool way to let us know what you were thinking when you really get into the grooves. This is some fun stuff. Sad that you did this before the Jimi Hendrix version. Only because Stevie took what Jimi had done and took it to another level. It;s kind of hard to truly appreciate a cave painting after looking at a Van Gogh, so to speak.
You have just heard Texas electric blues by the master of funk SRV. The only man who could out Jimi Jimi. If you don’t get the stank face listening to SRV you ain’t human.
@@charlesreactss hell yeah sir! Voodoo child is actually a jimi hendrix song srv covered. Hollywood hogan uses that version mixed with other stuff, but you can hear it
IMO Hendrix revolutionized playing the guitar, because he showed how differently this instrument could be played to make so many different sounds that no one ever imagined. That being said... SRV was cleaner and more consistent, or on timing than Hendrix. Hendrix created it, Vaughn perfected it. Again, IMO.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qFfnlYbFEiE.html * Appropriate Disclaimers* Here's a link to The Original 'Voodoo Child' by Jimi Hendrix, enjoy! 😍
this is a cover of jimi hendrix's voodoo child slight return. i think stevie does it better........ive been playing guitar since i was 13, so 40 some years. every time i watch stevie play i just wanna throw up my hands and say fuck it i quit
Nah lol. Bad to the Bone is actually from Mannish Boy by Middy Waters which is also very close to King Bee by Slim Harpo..which Muddy Waters covered as well.
@@charlesreactss lol love the video man! Especially these old time greats. If ya haven’t, check out SRV’s sound check and Life Without You Capitol Theater
Nobody steals songs from SRV,he had a particular sound and playing style. No one has really come close to either. Doubt most guitar players could play that guitar.heavy gauge strings.
@@charlesreactss when I subscribed I switched it on & then today it was off again. Idk, I’d rather say RU-vid is messed up instead of me 🤪 I switched it back on again. ✌🏻
Nope, he was adjusting a pedal. If he dropped/broke a pick, there are extra picks taped to the mic boom (common for guitarists to do) in front of him that he could have grabbed more easily than trying to pick it up from the floor. I've seen him do it a couple times.
@@russellchrom When you have the likes of the "Kings" (BB, Albert and Freddie), Johnny Copeland, Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy all giving you a nod, you know you're sitting at the top.... Stevie's time at the top was too short.
