Very nice and rare soundcheck of ''Willie the Wimp''. I'm not sure what year is it. Probably 1987. Venue/Location is unknown...maybe Dallas? Don't forget to like and share this rare video! More likes and shares more rare videos to come!!
His insane technique where his right hand just flows across the neck picking (and left hand damping) just the right notes is worth a study. Nobody has ever gotten close.
I love these candid videos! They give us a glimpse into who he was. He giggled when he got feedback. :-) I read an article that said that he had such an electromagnetic field that even if someone had checked the mic and equipment before him he would often get shocked and feedback! This looks like a good example of that. And this was a smoking performance sans audience, but for sheer joy. I was anticipating loud cheers from the crowd at the end...but no audience! :D Thanks for this one.
It took me years to learn this solo, and how effortless he does variations of it keeps it fresh for him, this versions phrasing had morphed into a back and forth chop between his favorite low octave then melody riff, then high octave, to the build up at higher register to the 'srv' lick done in half time to double time using his up stroke picking to alternate picking at blazing speed and precision. And that's just the ending part of the solo 😂
@@SouthernArtist77 yes, but I've been playing 35 years, and you can't put it down for years at a time, you have to be constantly playing in bands and practicing new stuff to be even close to agile enough to touch this
A great GOOD bad ass that always gave his best love this drive it made him stand out from even the best... GOD LOVES that is PROPAGATES more of it... What a blessing to have known him in '74 & '75
I remember listening to the rolling stones practice outside JFK stadium 🏟️ once I could only imagine listing to SRV and double trouble."The 🏠 house would be rocking"
Oh yeah..this is pleasing to my ears..Anything Stevie Ray Vaughan plays is phenominal..Double Trouble great..Willie gotta be taken care of in his new found catalac..Stevie will find him a vacant location..Jupiter or Mars..I can smell test it right now..Stevie is legend and that strat is legend and they go all over the world..right now taking a break for Willie The Whimp..take from here Stevie Ray Vaughan..you know the WAY..beautiful burial of Willie the Whimp..r u with me?
Well, since it is the Jimi Hendrix model, I think he didn't want to use it too much on tours. I mean, he may have thought it's more like a good addition to his collection.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ,to all ..the legend Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble on stage.sound is going out in airwaves to all of Stevie's fans..Stevie is awesome in Blue's and Rock n Roll..never forgotten..were in 2021 and into 2022..congrats to all and a big thank you to all..RIP Stevie..
