Favorite SRV song... go!
Pride and joy
Lenny
Dirty pool
All-um
Cold shot
I've always wanted to use the neck and bridge pickup simultaneously....I'm stealing this axe muhaha
Hey Shred, nice to see you here.
Muhahahaha
Get a blender
you can do the Gilmour switching to get that sound
Let's hear some metal on it!!!!
The signature is finished over relax lol
Tyler what's it like having to drag your huge ass balls around? When you walk on the beach it probably looks like someone was riding a tricycle through the sand
@@jonnihard1090 🤣
😂
Please quit doing neck bends on iconic guitars
Yeah, I was really wondering about that, lol! 😬
Stevie Ray Vaughn was one of the best things that happened to the guitar.
Straight up 100% agree
oui
the Stratocaster Master hands down. the Master Class. Not many out there
True legend.
Greatest guitarist that ever lived in my eyes. Him, Gary, and Hendrix are on the Mount Rushmore of guitar gods. Couldn't imagine owning a strat actually signed by Stevie.. just insane.
Absolutely
Concur, and watching this cat try to explain his artistic genius, and failing miserably, explicitly shows why copying SRV is inexplicably difficult. I cannot believe this guitar will sell for anything less than $500K…
Gary who? Lol
@@ryantroiano2463 Gary Moore
There are a lot that are famous, but not many can be put in the small group with Vaughn and Hendrix...maybe Rory ?
The guy from texas blues alley actually nails a lot of his songs, his phrasing is amazing
Check out a British guy called Sean Mann
Anthony is the man!
Texas blues Alley is so good
Exactly right my friend
Ye ah Texas blue's alley nails it and check out this kid on you tube with red strat playing rude mood and check out how he strums and sounds alot like Stevie stink face and all lol, rip Stevie
I had a chance to see SRV in concert and boy was he unreal to watch!
Man I wish I could see him in his prime..
Stevie Ray Vaughan is amazing!!
was* 😞
He's god.
True that.
@@kingstring853 is* Legends don't die!
The way SRV played always mesmerized me. He was so loose and messy but at the same time tight and concise. Every movement of the pick hit something and it always fit in, nothing ever sounded out of place or like a wrong note was hit.
I believe the descending lick around 10th - 12th frets is an Albert King lick, Stevie was a disciple of Albert King and if you listen to both of them you’ll hear King’s influence on Stevie. Additionally, Vaughan was influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters and Lonnie Mack. He also has some jazz influence courtesy of Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt and George Benson.
Pretty cool how SRV incorporated it and made it his own. Let's not forget how the artist apply their inspiration.
imacmadman22 - Spot on my friend. Most people catch the Hendrix influence, but he was alot more Albert King than he was Jimi. In fact SRV himself talked alot more about Albert and Lonnie Mack then he did Hendrix. Then stuff like Lenny and Riviera Paradise shows the jazz influence. I agree completely with your synopsis.
Albert King said “Stevie Ray Vaughan had a black daddy, and that daddy was me!”
I love that quote… Blues mean so much to original American music.
Also his brother taught him how to play guitar growing up, so he incorporated a ton of different styles and turned it into his own from what he liked to play and hear and then mastered those songs and improved upon them afterward to get the SRV we know and love
The best thing about stevies playing in songs like little wing, texas flood, and lenny is he can go from playing careful and relaxed to aggressive. He plays like the guitar is breathing it goes from relaxed to aggressive back to relaxed so smoothly
Why did you write that twice?
@@dominikweber4305 because it sounds so nice. Duh.
I met Stevie and Jimmie in 77' a few blocks from my house at Charley's Guitar Shop when it opened. Throughout his life he never forgot my name. My cousin was his AA mentor in Austin. They used to trade T shirts at every meeting. I saw him and Eric Johnson play on the same bill for a couple of years 2-3 times per month at Tango's in Dallas when they were still locals. They would do a Hendrix jam set at 12am together. Those were legendary.
I think the way you showed the shuffle rhythm makes learning that part a lot easier. Took me forever until I slowed it down like that and just kept the motion going while slowly adding the notes until I got up to speed. And he totally does just keep it going with no chords throwing in some licks when he's singing. I think people who start getting into their guitar heroes and learning their styles focus too much on lead and soloing and not enough on rhythm, melody and dynamics in their playing. EVH is another swing rhythm monster, especially on the early albums - but everyone starts at the tapping section on Eruption before attempting the intro to I'm the One for example.
it doesn't sound quite right tho.. Pride and joy is played slightly differently at least to my ears. I could be wrong
@@andymccallum8090 You’re correct. SRV hits the open strings within the upstroke rakes of the rhythm then cuts them off. The intro shuffle sounds a little off as well. It’s the subtle blues nuanced hammer-on / pull-offs that isn’t really part of Tyler’s more aggressive left hand technique.
@GuyNarnarian Keep it up and def one step at a time. I warn you from personal experience, tho, that his classic techniques don’t work great outside blues, tho, I think he played Rude Mood live on an acoustic 12 String to prove he could shred to a straight beat. A giant middle finger to all guitarists. Ha.
@@andymccallum8090 I never said his technique was perfect - but just getting the feel of the shuffle before trying to play that kind of part helps. He definitely hits the open strings, but look at what he is doing when signing, not hitting every note, just keeping the shuffle going. That was kind of my point. I don't think he was trying to play it perfectly, just showing how to get there.
Or the intro to show your love
Stevie Ray Vaughan was indeed a superhuman when it came to guitar. It's a skill to be able to make a song sound better live than in the studio and he was a master at it.
The best strat ever! I bought this strat back when Fender released it! My only strat because of the pickup selection! Thank you for highlighting this awesome instrument.
The Elite Strat was the inspiration for the E.C. Signature model and later on, the concept was revived in the form of the MIM Deluxe Powerhouse Strat but with more traditional aesthetics.
Ty Tabor of kings x played Elites Strats.. I've owned a a 1983 Elite since 1988..
Totally unrelated to this video, but I just wanted shoot you a big thanks! Partly due to your videos, I went out and bought my first guitar about a month ago. At 35 I've never played anything, and I even cheated my way through band class in middle school. But this is absolutely great - my new addiction!
I saw this guitar at Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville. Came in one day when it was appointments only, and they showed me all the gold! I was talking to an employee and he said "you wanna see something"? He then goes into another room and pulls this exact guitar from the stash! Being a lifelong SRV fan this sure was a treat! Ed Kings' 56' Les Paul was another guitar I was very thankful for them letting me get my hands on. Great people in that place! They made my day, and a memory to last forever.
Me too! I held it and played it at Carter in Aug 2021. Amazing moment for me.
All 3 pick ups at once.. badass
thank you so much tyler for being an inspiration and a teacher to me over the past years. you're mad skilled & talented, & a great content creator! cheers
We lost him at 35 years old and he had already mastered guitar. I've always wondered if he hadn't died what kind of stuff he would be playing today. Also is his signature clear coated on?? Looks the like S has gotten worn off from people playing it.
Oh man! really love your demos! Wish I could demo our guitars like you.
Seriously I am watching this for the third time. This was the best Stevie tutorial ever! There are so many out there but this has the detail needed.
Wow!! When he died in that helicopter, I remember getting teary eyed. As a drummer I was blown away with him and his love and passion as a player. He was a MASTER, and I still mountain bike to all his songs. R.I.P.......I imagine what you would be like today.........
The current Fender American Professional II push, push combines neck and bridge pickups.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is a Titan who calls Mount Olympus home.
He had a tremendous sense of timing playing ‘around’ the beat then always lands it perfect. Van Halen was another master. Keeps you on your toes.
Dang Tyler, your sound descriptors are always on point! "Glassy" frickin love it!
honestly a really good video on SRVs techniques, didnt expect that when the title was about the guitar
The neck and bridge together is a pretty common Strat mod - popularised by David Gilmour, so it's become known as the Gilmour mod. Fender also had 7 way switching (standard 5 way, plus a push switch near the tone control to add in the bridge on positions 4 and 5) on the Mexican Deluxe Super Strat, which later became the Deluxe Player Strat. Bridge and neck together sounds vaguely Tele-ish, all three together is a great funk sound.
That was some really great guitar playing! Loved the breakdown of Stevie's playing
B.B King was also incredible at controlling the volume with his fingers! It's a small detail that I feel like not many guitar plays take notice of and adopt into their own playing!
It adds this really nice flow to a lick
Guitar volume is in the hands . The tone Really comes from the hands. R.I.P. SRV Best blues player ever. - RJ.
Never stop these videos. Super cool.
I watched that same live performance video before watching this and one of the first things that really clicked was exactly what you were talking about. His dynamics are everything
I really liked your detailed look at SRVs technique - thanks!
Lucky guy getting to touch all these priceless instruments. Im jealous 👍😎👍
The individual pickup switches give that superstrat vibe of the 80s
As well as being a great player you also have an incredible knack for teaching guitar.
Wow what an incredible video. I love breakdowns of why guitarists are great, and this is one of the best.
The oil brat who buys it doesn't play guitar.
Excellent SRV breakdown video my man.
I'm glad I found this video. I just started teaching guitar at a small music store in East Texas and they have one of these in their vintage section. I didn't know anything about it.
I just want to say I'm an old subscriber of yours since 15k subscriber. I'm now a young lad. Just visited your channel again. Congrats for the 1M. I remembered you made shoutout for my name. 🤗
Oh my goodness the circle motion in the shuffle changes everything, thanks
You are dead on in what you have said. So many have chased the SRV tone, but it was his approach to the instrument that really gave us his sound, and not many people really study his techniques. Thank you
Thanks for showing the Strat..& information on lenny ! Stevie was a master of connecting his heart and soul through his fingers and expressing..his moods.
It seems like we all struggle to play anything Stevie just so powerful but yet so finesse.. and you cannot forget about his voice and the rest of Double Trouble to keep up with him but it seems to be all 2th nature to them guys. He is truly missed
man!!!! it is great hearing you playing the SRV way!!! love your playing!!!
Good info. Great job showing the subtleties.
you have got such a beautiful feel to the guitar yourself. love the song too.
I played this Stratocaster while it was for sale at Carter’s a staff member saw my Stevie ray Vaughan Shirt and handed me this guitar it played great
Interesting stuff man! To get Great at guitar takes a lot of time with the instrument. Sitting there just doing different things, finding different sounds. The smallest things make a world of difference! Awesome playing man
SRV is legendary and that strat is beautiful
awesome insight into SRV's style. I Gotta try some of that tonight. 🤟
Get a Freeway switch for your strat. You get all the usual tones +5 extra sounds including all three together, and the bridge neck combo. Also you get the bridge and middle and neck and middle in series so you get humbucker sounds also.
This was fantastic. Couldn’t Stand the Weather’s my favorite. Again just fantastic.
Love it how Tyler aligns himself with us. Very humble but Tyler your a fucking legendary guitarist
Song, Pride & Joy. I played with Charles Magione durring a warm up for His and my teachers show at the starlight, when my teacher brought me along as a guitar tech for him I was 15 now 48 great memory. Echo Hard! "Doc"
I was lucky enough to see SRV a few weeks before he died at the Ohio Bell Blues and Jazz Festival. My fav player of all time.
I had a black walnut version of thst model with gold hardware and pearl like tuner buttons. Middle knob was stacked pot for TBX active system and a dummy coil under pickguard for hum cancelling
This video should have had a million views. Efn bravo dude
That was cool, Stevie was a great guitar player!
I recently bought myself an HSS Player Series strat and this video just makes me wanna have more fun with it.
@ 7:45 that’s the SRV sound/lick I recognize most from him. Being primarily a 70’s & 80’s player, taking on SRV is no joke. There’s something special about his playing & also southern rock in general
The tones this thing makes are insane
Great video!!
Kenny Wayne Shepherd nails SRV. I’ve closed my eyes up against the stage at his shows (one time with Double Trouble backing him), and I thought I was at an SRV show. Especially when I’d look and see DT on the stage. Not to mention the tacit endorsement that they’d play SRV songs on stage with another guitarist. I remember them doing cold shot and crossfire. Amazing. KWS nailed every note. It amazes me he isn’t more appreciated than he is. Absolutely monster. And he’s alive! We can go see him and everything, ha
Yes he can play a SRV song note for note........but why not do his own thing? His own tone, his own rig....etc......too many people try to copy another persons tone, instead on inventing or making a new one. I get its amazing that people can do it.......but its stale after a while.
@@robertsole9970 the problem is its such a great tone because it not only sounds badass, but it allows so much more expression than most other tones. That's why I covet that tone. gotten close and its my favorite style to play for that reason.
@ROCCO SMURF arguably the best tone of all time? I'd vote yes. Or tied with Hendrix. But guitar mastery, I wouldn't put either of them remotely close to the top. Just listen to and watch some top jazz guitarists. Mind blown and not even close. More importantly, who cares about mastery. I remember getting compliments early on in my musical journey when I was mediocre at best. Coming from playing violin for 10 years and having violinists from the national symphony orchestra as my two main teachers over the years, I was shocked that anyone would be complimentary given the standards I had for myself; standards imprinted upon me from the world of classical music which I think is very high in comparison. However, most compliments were related to my style and tone, not on my wizardry on guitar (which, as I stated, was relatively non-existent at that time). And these comments were usually from other musicians in bands we were opening for or vice versa. The bottom line was that despite my fledgling ability at the time, I still, evidently, made an impression because of how I made people feel. And that's the only thing that really matters ☺️
I’m down with Kenny but nah my man. Double trouble made it sound like that, not Kenny.
This man living the dream
A number of features on the Elite model were adopted by what because the American Standard. The Elite was also the basis for the Clapton model and later MIM Deluxe Powerhouse Strat.
Tyler thank you for the SWEET deal on your guitar system we all appreciate it keep shredding
What’s up bro, I’m a huge fan of your vids. I was actually just curious on what camera you use? I purchased a green screen, lights, mic, headphones, etc just missing the camera RN. Anyways keep up the 🔥🔥🔥 content my guy!
YOU SHOULD DO MORE SRV VIDEOS this is my favorite content
I have learned so much from these videos and GSS
Actually there is a reason they call it a 7 way Gilmour mod, It was quite popular using a 5 way switch and a push pull, "The Black Strat" was documented through its changes by Taylor the tech for Gilmour, Honestly I am surprised it took Fender how many years to make it and incorporate it, now you just get it in the Ultra models and maybe a few Signatures.
The elite was interesting and I wish the push buttons would come back instead of the 5 way switch marking those models as active electronics.
Personally it was cool having the TBX expander and the MDX mid booster.
Back then these failed because the guitar market was traditionalists that just wanted copies of the old strat with no innovation, this was an amazing mark, honestly Fender needs to try bringing back the elite now, basically Make it the premium above the Ultra Luxe.
I know I'm an outlier, but, Wall of Denial. Got to see him live in Joplin, Mo. Way back. Fantastic.
I don't know how you get these guitars but I'm glad that you did! Bless you brother, and rock on!! I wish that I could see them in person but YOU get to not only see them but play them and demonstrate them to the public. The closest that I'll ever get is SWEETWATER SOUND. Playing REPLICAS and not the real thing - EVER! I try but I fail every time I do ( to get that sound) since I have to use the house amps there and simply fake it. I have the ability just not the money or the connections. I am nobody so it doesn't matter any way. I'm just glad that you got to so that I can live my dreams through you. Thank you for sharing this with us.
You should do tender surrender by Steve vai, the locks are ripping but I always loved the dynamics and how it build the. He cleans it back up while playing towards the end
Great video. Huge SRV fan.
Ty Tabor used one on Gretchen Goes To Nebraska. Definitely a key element to that tone.
This guitar was at Carter's in Nashville for a while, was lucky enough to play it a bit. Really cool to hold, but the neck was super uncomfortable
i read a story Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band double trouble were playing a certain famous concert hall, as they were setting up and rehearsing had heated converstion with the sound engineer about loud the band can play cuz it sound good for certain famous concert hall. it ened in steve saying "I'll my job, and you do your job" in the end , everything went well. ,,,...oh fyi , this was steves backup guitar
steve traded guitars long distance with a friend. they swapped the same instruments back and forth for each player to test. they had a special signature sort of design between them that meant peace, love and brotherhood. that way they knew the guitars were in the proper hands and were shared accordingly. i played a CAR strat with his signature and the mark at saint louis. killer vintage.
Live at the El Macambo is my favorite dvd of all time.
My 86 Steinberger GL3TA has 3 single coils and uses those exact buttons as pickup on/off sectors. Fender must have used the idea on that model.
I have a 83 fender elite strat in red. I call it the les Paul killer ( only jokes, I love LP’s ) I use it hard tail as the trem isn’t great. But it sings and it is like 10+ pounds. Oh yeah and Stevie was one of the greats. Bless his soul for giving us the music he did.
I really really wanted an elite back in the day, they even made a hardtail version which was the coolest, they got discontinued almost as soon as they were released, and now the used ones are rare and becoming vintage and pricey
Great video! I love the way you broke down those licks. Stevie was/is/always will be the best. Also, this might be the first videos I’ve seen I a whole that someone hasn’t disliked just to be a d-bag. Haha
That super reverb is wicked
yes on the great approach to the "texas shuffle"!! i've been struggling with that forever. Second, has anyone tried switching out (no pun intended) their blade switch for buttons? i would love this. when i get really going, i tend to hit the 5-way switch and i think this would be a great solution, outside of doing something silly like actually getting better strumming discipline.
I bought one of these guitars . paid $400 , used . in 2000. i was not guitar shopping, just gitting some strings . I saw it on the wall
picked it up and instantly knew it was a gem . I think its one of Fenders best guitars . Fender was trying to gain more of the market and live down the lower quilaty of previous post CBS years . They went all out on this guitar . I own 13 quality guitars , but this is one of my favorites. If you get a chance by one . Some day they will command a pretty penny.
1989 live recording couldn't stand the weather is the one that does it for me
That is a one of a kind guitar. Very very awsome.
You should check out Matthew Scott, the guy is oozing with SRV soul.
I think a large reason for why stevie was so good at dynamics was actually the string gauge, it really affects the way you play the guitar when you put 13 or even higher gauge strings on and the possibilities in terms of dynamics expand greatly.
Oooooh that neck and bridge sound ☺️🤌
Nice video as usual
I had the 1983 USA standard strat from the same series, it was crap, had a jack socket where the 3rd tone dial should be, had to remove the scratchplate to alter the trem springs, I ended up customising mine and used it for 14 years before selling it, you can still find stock versions about.
beautiful
This is beyond awesome so jealous
I like how you lump us in with you. Thx but you are killing it and doing that axe justice
I’m a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan. I believe he is the greatest guitar player in the world. I still cry when I think of his name. I really wish I could get this guitar. But I can’t afford it unfortunately. God bless everyone and their family members. I still pray for Jimmie Vaughan and his family. I’m glad he is still alive and healthy today.
