    His note-bending is so nuanced, his attention to pitch is so well articulated. I'm convinced he heard that that string had slipped out of PERFECT tuning and needed immediate retuning. What really blows me away is the ease with which he resolved it. Everything he does in relation to his guitar just seems so second natured.
    I'm so glad that you reacted to Stevie, and especially with this vid.

      I find it ironic that you mention 'third stone from the sun'. Before he was moved to his current monument, the location of Jimi's grave was the third head stone from a concrete sundial feature at the cemetery. We (those who lived nearby) would tell folks looking for Jimi to look for the third stone from the sun. Note: Jimi is laid to rest at the Greenwood Memorial in Renton WA. at the intersection of 4th St and Monroe.

      Very much this! Considering he learned to play listening to vinyl's and the radio, his ear for notes and pitch must have been off the charts. He fairly often swapped out guitars in the middle of a song if he was unhappy with the state of its tuning and couldn't make minor adjustments like he did here. And his playing was so energetic and aggressive, bending the heck out of those thick .13s, it's normal to throw strings out of tune.

    Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV) was a son of Texas and the natural successor to the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix... he got into playing guitar as a kid from his guitarist older brother Jimmie Vaughan (who is still actively playing today). He left home as a teen and started playing in Texas clubs in the 70's in various bands and showed promise in the blues style. He struggled w/ drug and alcohol abuse in his personal & professional life, sadly...
    Finally in 1978, he formed SRV and Double Trouble... w/ Chris Layton (drums)...Tommy Shannon (bass) who knew Stevie before, joined in 1980... After years of struggling, he debuted SRV & Double Trouble in 1983 w/ the album 'Texas flood' and it sold 2x platinum in the US.
    Stevie Ray Vaughan became a sensation in the 80's, releasing 4 studio albums that sold platinum - "Couldn't stand the weather" (1984)... 'Soul to soul' (1985)... and 'In step' (1989)... He also recorded an album 'Family style' as Vaughan Brothers w/ Jimmie Vaughan.
    Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash in 1990 in Wisconsin, after playing a concert in East Troy. SRV was 35 years of age.
    After his untimely death, the Vaughan Brothers album "Family style" was released and went platinum... his last recordings was released as 'The sky is crying' in 1991... His 'Greatest hits' album in 1995 sold 2x platinum.

    SRV was an artist for God... we just got lucky enough to witness his prayers to the creator...
    Some months before we lost Stevie, he used to stay at the Claremont Resort & Spa in Oakland, CA. Where I bartended at the time. Got to know and chat with SRV before and after his going sober. SRV was a real and down to earth person who loved life and those who influenced his development.
    Stevie asked me once who my favorite guitarist was which is and always will be Robin Trower... when SRV asked why, I told him "because like you, Robin plays like he's playing for God and we just happen to be in the room" You should've seen the ear-to-ear grin spread across his face... 😎👍❤️🙏

    Tin Pan Alley (with Johnny Copeland) [Live At Montreux 1985] is one of my favorites.
    The only person you should compare your guitar playing ability to is yourself from the day before.
    The fact that you have any experience at all playing guitar is exponentially better than the average person, so don't dwell so much on the destination - just enjoy the journey. ;-)

    Great, real reaction. One of the best reactions I have ever seen. Thank you for being so real. As for SRV, he was one of a kind. He did not play for show, he played from the heart. He said that if you do not play from the heart, it's not worth it.
    As for other SRV videos, there are many, but top of my mind is his performance of Voodoo Chile live in Austin, Texas, as well as his performance of Life Without You (9/21/1985 from the Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ). And there is Lenny (also from the El Mocambo), a song dedicated to his wife, and another is his performance of Little Wing (another Jimi Hendrix song). There is so much more, but these will get you well versed in the SRV magic.
    As for his death- he died in a helicopter accident. Early in the morning of Monday, August 27, 1990, SRV was killed in a helicopter crash near East Troy, Wisconsin. He was performing at a concert at the Alpine Valley resort, a concert that included people like Eric Clapton. There was only one road to and from the venue, so most of the artists were flown in and out via helicopters. He left on the last helicopter, and it crashed shortly after take-off. A very sad day for music indeed.

      That Passaic Performance is insane. Life Without You to me has probably my favorite guitar solo by him. He just tears into his guitar after
      he gets done speaking with the audience. Very visceral,primal so amazing.

    I love your reaction, don't bother about the pause thing - follow your guts, you cannot always decide when to pause when he's playing.
    I can see the chills you're feeling, and I love seeing young people feeling the same as I do listening to him.
    And yes, you can tune as you play, it's not that hard but it requires good pitch and maybe some experience.

    • @winstonsmith8441
      @winstonsmith8441 Před rokem

      Exactly. He heard the string was slightly out of tune and adjusted. He didn't change the tune due to the needs of the music as he doesn't adjust the tune in other recordings of him performing this song.

    Loved your reaction to SRV Bisscute! It literally brings tears to my eyes when people react to his playing for the first time because I share in your joy and wonder, it's my pride and joy too. If you want to be marveled by another incredible talent check out Japanese drummer Yoyoka. This was her first video, and she's covering Led Zeppelin's Good Times, Bad Times at just 8 years old! I guarantee your jaw will drop at how good she is, probably as good as any drummer you've ever heard, but then I also guarantee you'll delight at her little girl giggles at the very end.

    Yes Biss, there are millions of amazing guitar players in this world. But never give up, and never be in competition with anyone. Only challenge yourself, and play what you love. And play what you love with your heart, not your hands. Dimebag Darrell always said play what you feel in your heart and soul, your hands are just a tool to make your heart sing! R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell Lance Abbott!

    Long time fan of SRV (I'm 74) just want to reiterate - like the lady said - most people can't sing with that much emotion and talent - only a handful can play guitar on Stevie's level _ if any - but no one sings like that and plays guitar at this level behind his back all at the same time! Normal people have to focus their concentration on a specific activity to perform this well - Stevie manages to perform on this exalted level like normal humans breath in and out - scratch an itch or swat at a fly.

    Don't give up on your own guitar playing. 'Most' of all the great timeless hits that we all love were created using 3 or 4 decent simple chords. A structure with space for vocals and sounds brings order and joy to the ear.
    NEVER forget this ! A 'Beautiful' song is MOST OFTEN SIMPLE and should always be the aim.
    For example, take 'Let It Be', by the Beatles (go listen to the song). The space within the structure allowing for 'all' sounds and words to unify and yet stand out are what brings on the beauty of the song.
    You can create 'wonderful' music' without being either a Stevie Ray Vaughn or a Beethoven.
    The ear knows what is good, and, on the whole, simplicity never has failed in the recording industry.
    Keep on posting, dear. Peace to you !

    Great reaction to our Stevie Ray. Yes he did tune on the run. His ear was incredible for that. I’ve subscribed. You should listen to him live playing the song
    “Life without You”
    Where at the beginning of it he starts with a brown guitar which was not tuned right so he replaces the guitar mid song doesn’t skip a beat and then starts really tuning the damn guitar and setting up the amps mid song it’s damn incredible to watch taking place and giving an incredible performance all at once? Many who have reacted to it have not even noticed that he did a total guitar changed right before their eyes lmfao😂. He was the GOAT. He also gives an uplifting sermon about life mid song also which to this day has relevance and positivity for everyone!. There will never be another SRV and we were robbed of such a great soul. And if you want to hear his greatest master class masterpiece that he left for us all to help us get through any suffering in our lives, then just play his live in Austin Texas,
    “Riviera Paradise”
    Please react to that one and enjoy. You can thank me later for it if you like, 😊
