    In the 80s, I worked as a bouncer in a blues club in Memphis. My mother in law at the time came up to me and said, "I have someone who wants to meet you.". Standing in front of me was a man with wearing a poncho reaching out to shake my hand. I was star struck to be in front of one of my heroes, Stevie Ray Vaughan. A few weeks later, I was working the floor at the club and there was a tap on my shoulder. Holy cow it was him again but this time he called me by name. "Joe, we are jamming after the club closes. I want you to sit in with us.". I didn't leave the club until 7 a.m. and got to sit and jam with the man himself. Your reaction to a genuine man like Stevie is beautiful. What you see in this video is 💯 him. A few short months later, I found out about his death and was heartbroken. We lost a legendary man but his soul lives on through people like you. Thank you for this video ❤

    This concert was from after he got clean and sober. He had 4 years clean when he died in a helicopter crash and he absolutely had a great message to share. He was a really good soul and the world lost a good and a truly humble man that day. I'm just grateful that he left a legacy of some exceptional music for me and others to enjoy and guys like me and others like John Mayer who are a million times better guitarists than I will ever be to learn from and enjoy.

    The song is a tribute to his longtime friend Charlie Wirz. Charlie had built the White Strat for Stevie and that was the reason for the switch

    This is what modern blues sounds like and Stevie is one of the best ever. Adjusting amps and pedals on stage is somewhat of a no no and most of the time is done during sound check before the performance. Conditions can change however and from time to time it has to be done on stage. Stevie is a master guitarist and performer so forgiveness is given without hesitation. Enjoy this because you will never see Stevie live again.

No one else could do an instrument change mid-song and no miss a beat. SRV was one of a kind. Thank you Stevie, for all the great music you left us to enjoy. And thank you, Maddie, for the reaction.

    I've been a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan fan for yrs and I think you can see why, Stevie was raised by a very abusive alcoholic father who Jimmie said took most of his abuse out on Stevie and he didn't know why but I know why Stevie Ray was a kind sensitive small child that his dad knew he could intimidate and make cry very easy. I was the tiniest child in my family and my mother could make me cry all the time by telling me she never wanted me and would lock me in a cold dark basement with no windows and a dirt floor, hit me with a board with nails in it and I was the perfect child for this. Stevie started drinking at the age of 8 and would become a alcoholic and addicted to cocaine he almost died but you can go one of two ways an angry hateful person made at the world or you can be a better person then the person who raised you and what to be the total opposite and the went to rehab owned by Eric Clapton and ask for help. Stevie was only 4 yrs clean and better then ever when he was killed but spread the word about his experience with his demons. LOVE LOVE LOVE STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

    Anyone that cares at all about the blues or rock and roll guitar knows who Stevie is, and respects his absurd raw talent and inhuman work ethic. Dude was a mutant, an other, a conduit to the elemental plane of music is one of my favorite ways to describe him. @6:28 He plays with some of the thickest and least plyant strings on purpose. This means that in order to bend them the way he does you need stupid gorilla strength. While playing he is actually and in real time loosening his own strings enough to alter the sound in one song, sometimes multiple times per song. May I humbly suggest watching him in the presence of other legendary players, he is just as humble and pleased to be playing with them as a regular guy would be.

    Stevie couldn't read music so he played by ear. The guitar change near the beginning was because the song is about Charlie his guitar tech who died suddenly, the guitar was a gift from him and Stevie named it Charlie. His favorite guitar is named Lenny, a gift from his wife Lenora.

      Stevie's 'LENNY' guitar was also a birthday gift from his wife & a few of their friends. They all got together to chip in $50 each (I believe it was $50 each) & bought the guitar for him. It was that very night while his wife was sleeping that he wrote the song 'LENNY'! Stevie literally woke her up the next morning telling her 'You gotta hear this, I just wrote this last night while you were sleeping!' Then he played it for her!

    That technique is called a rake. You drag the pick down the strings while muting them then unmute on the last string/note. The other thing is called call and response. Quite common in rock and blues. You play or sing something and then you (or someone else) plays something in response.

      When Stevie played live, he just exuded all the confidence in the world. He went on stage just KNOWING THAT EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT WITH EVERYTHING & NOTHING COULD GO WRONG!
      The thought that anything could go wrong during his performance never crossed his mind!
      I believe his fashion sense & what he wore also clearly says the same thing!
      It's not like he 'DRESSED UP', or had 'on stage costumes', These were his everyday clothes!
      He dressed like this literally EVERYDAY!
      And whether he tossed his guitar behind his back or behind his head, played with his teeth or his fingers, played lead & rhythm at the same time (on the same guitar), or played right hand only or played left hand only, he didn't have to practice these 'MOVES' before hand, the thoughts just came to him, then he was doing them!
      EXPERTLY!!! EVERY TIME!!!! JUST FABULOUS!!!!
      THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN!!!💜💜💜💜
