Jimmy Vaughan is the legend of Blue's..what a performance he gives out to his fans..Can play that strat and the sound goes out in airwaves..terrific band..Terrific singer..love the rhythem and lyrics..got the beat..sensational
Used to think Jimmie’s playing was overshadowed by his brother cause SRV has more dexterity and flow… but after years of listening to them both, I think Jimmie is the pioneer and is what everything Stevie was aiming to be as a guitar player.
A lot of so-called SRV fans don't get Jimmie and automatically think he was somehow in his brother's shadow but that just ain't the facts. It really takes a certain level of Musical Maturity to hear what Jimmie is all about and actually appreciate his subtle mastery. Stevie was always quick to say that his biggest influence was Jimmie. Those of us who grew up around them in Dallas know that Jimmie was THE GUITAR PLAYER to watch years before SRV came into his own. Like the vast majority of White post-war Blues guys the Vaughan bros were listening to and playing John Mayall & the Blues Breakers, Hendrix, Clapton and Classic Rock before they jumped into the Blues. Jimmie had a band called the Chessmen that was a big deal in Texas that they opened for Hendrix in 1969. Stevie did an interview somewhere on UA-cam where he said "Look I probably play about 90% of what I know, now my Brother, he plays about 10% of what he knows. See, it's all about the notes you DON'T PLAY some times and Jimmie gets that! That's the real difference." If you heard a lot of Jimmie's early pre-T-Birds stuff he was much more into the fast playing and sounded more like SRV in his attack on the fretboard and spontanaeity . When he started the T-Birds he slowed down and learned to play with a tempered "Less is More" approach which helped him really define his style. I agree that Stevie was just coming into that same Maturity when he passed.
I remember watching Jimmy at The Onenite , Roger Collins bar , and later with The Fabulous Thunderbird's at the original Antone's on 6th Street, they were the house band, Jimmy is a legend and Denny Freeman was another great Texas Guitar player, RIP Denny, anyway keep going, Jimmy, and you are a bad motorscooter
He's the pistoleer of bluesman, deadly with precision.... flawless execution.i don't think I've ever seen him miss a note.... And his tone is spicy and lightning when he strikes!!! And he's got that texas vaughn swagger... Talented family....👍👍😎😎🕊️💐
Listening to Jimmy, I hear really faithful technique and licks to the records he and his bro grew up listening to. Very cool treat to hear that nod to the greats in his playing. Lots of ppl compare his playing w/ Stevie or other virtuoso-kind of players, but I'm gonna say that Jimmy always does Jimmy, often forced to follow Clapton and Cray in a jam, he just commits to his crafted licks, digs in, and puts out some classic old school. A good vid for fans is the 1989 Inauguration Albert Collins / SRV / Jimmy V. First song, Frosty, Jimmy has to follow the other two, that are absolutely going for it, dressed in tux's, playing like they meant it! lol Anyways, the audience jaws are hanging open from 80,000 pristine notes Albert then Stevie just assaulted them with, and Jimmie steps out from behind Stevie, already into the first few bars of stuff he planned while he was back there sweating bullets figuring out how to possibly pull this off! And true to form, Jimmy has this arsenal of classic old school licks, with some really musical tweaks that shine. He goes the whole extended solo distance, doesn't even look at Stevie and Albert once I think, but they're smiling and nodding approval (but seemed to start to wonder if Jimmy was ever gonna come back from whatever zone he was in :)) Anyways, since you watched this vid, that's my suggestion! ua-cam.com/video/OkY1UQhXDhA/v-deo.html
Jimmie plays loud and clean. Love it

I just love his guitar style. What a guitar solo!
The great Denny Freeman on piano. The Texas honcho, numero uno, himself. 🤘
