During the coarse of this song, he changes guitar, drops and picks pick up, tuning amps/equipment multiple times, gives a motivational speech, plays behind his back, plays with his teeth, loses a tooth and looks for it all while playing and not missing a beat. SRV wasn't human. The GOAT
SRV didn't drop and pick up his pick. He was adjusting the wah wah pedal at his feet. If he had dropped his pick, extras are by the microphone on the mic stand.
@@Sometimes-even-lyrical If this was anyone else they would have stopped the show. The first axe was Lenny and something died in it so he was set up w/ the other axe but it wasn't intended to be used for this song. So then he had to adjust everything by what looks like the overdrive pedal and then turning up the gain of both amps. Then while playing w/ his teeth he breaks a tooth.... Any one of these problems could be enough but SRV is a soldier!
Solo guitarists just aren't as popular anymore mainstream. But there are a lot of trend-setting insane guitarists out there today doing things with guitars never thought possible. SRV was one of a kind and inspiration to so many
Wrote the song for his friend & guitar tech Charley Wirz, after his passing. The guitar he plays was built by Charley & fittingly named Charley. It's the one he uses when playing the song for him.
SRV was one of the most talented individuals who ever lived, in my opinion. We lost a major talent when he passed. I am proud to say he was sober when he died.
He was channeling Charlie through his instrument. That’s why after he loses his tooth he laughs and says “Thanks Charlie” into the mic. He totally surrendered himself to all the love he had his heart for his friend and brought him back to life through his music.
Sorry about your loss, bro. He was adjusting one of the foot (wah wah ) pedals. He did lose his tooth; didn't stop playing. Love this song. R.I.P. Stevie Ray
Yes a truly beautiful song, I can't listen without dropping a few tears for my own losses, two of my beautiful brothers. And sometimes, the best cure for the blues IS the Blues. Especially when it comes from within Stevie Ray. Had to laugh though when you said, 'he's teaching that guitar how to play'. Never heard it put that way but true. Also, yes swagger is something SRV had plenty of being a showman, not a showoff. Great reaction. More more more Stevie!! We must all keep him alive, we owe him for everything he's given us. ☮️ to all
Was 40 miles from the crashsight when it occurred. A little after 3AM the radio announced... Clapton, Cray, and Stevie were all on board...My heart sunk to depths unknown. After 4AM, correction as to the crash was made. In a heavy fog, after an outdoor concert at Alpine Valley, said Clapton&Cray were Not on that chopper. This song, Life without you, was then played by that radio station... We all still miss you Stevie, thanks for all the tunes. Fly on, my friend!
Stevie Ray's picks were on the side of his microphone, alot of people think he dropped his pick but he's adjusting his wah-pedal that actually belonged to Jimi Hendrix who gave it to Jimmy Vaughan when he played at a venue and Jimi Hendrix was playing, Jimmy Vaughan broke his wah-pedal and Jimi Hendrix gave Jimmy Vaughan his wah-pedal and gave it to his little brother Stevie Ray. Drummer Chris Layton and basses Tommy Shannon said Stevie Ray had a really good ear and could hear the littlest thing and always fixed it himself, true genius, their has never has been nor will there ever be anotherStevieRayVaughan. With thatsaidat the age of 14 my son asked me for a guitar and he started to watch Stevie Ray videos and in 6 months he could play behind his head and back also his teeth and he never learned to read music either, he did play at a few places and people lost their minds but he never really done anything with his music and it makes me sad.. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOAT.
As long as you apologize for cursing,let yourself curse a little;Like you would around your dad,for example.BE YOU! Just have fun,& hang in there! May God bless, you. John & Sandy Roop
i got to see him in Austin a long time ago. Every now and then there are those people that come along that have the touch. they didn't learn it, they felt it. I feel it's like every Artist, it's their art, their interpretation their vision. SRV was a guy who was influenced by nothing that the Delta in Mississippi doesn't have as Blues it's just he was born in Texas and it influenced him in his style and his interpretation. Also known as the Texas Blues.
👏🙌‼️so happy to see you get to our most favorite one🎸🎶💙. He was such a humble, real, and loving man. His music and his messages are timeless and has already stood the test of many decades since we lost this magical music man. This song he wrote was for his friend Charley Wirz, a Dallas guitar shop owner who passed away unexpectedly. That white guitar he switched to was put together out of parts by Charley and that is the guitar's name. So when he drops down most people do assume he dropped a pick but he is adjusting his foot pedals. He always had extra picks on the mic stand. And when he spent so much time adjusting his amps but you didn't hear any difference was because later when he is holding a single note for a long time is when he needed that "sustain" and ability to play with the feedback keeping it in tune with the melody. I'm sure there is someone who could give you a more technical explanation but that is the gist of it. He had such an incredible ear that one time in the recording studio he kept saying he was hearing a slight hum that no one else could hear. Finally a machine was used to find and correct the hum he was hearing. His ear played a big part in his learning to play the guitar starting at age 7. He would listen to all the blues greats over and over and found if he could make those same sounds with his mouth he could find them on the guitar. He never did learn to read music, he was too busy just being the music. As far as "reactions" go, there are many different ways to react without using words. Facial expressions and smiles can say it all for you. (and thanks for dropping less F bombs) He spent his last years and time helping and encouraging people to choose sobriety and what rewards they will enjoy if they do. He shared his personal struggles and the tools he used to be a successful sober person. Even today people are still inspired by his life story and credit him with their own hard won battles and sobriety. He is still larger than life to those of us who have loved and admired him for so many more things than simply being the best musician ever to pick up an axe to delight and amaze us. There is still lots you haven't seen and we are all looking forward to future discoveries from you. There are so many recommendations to offer. MTV Unplugged has him playing 3 songs playing a 12 string acoustic guitar which is 🔥. There is a 18 minute "soundcheck" where he just rolled out of bed, yawning and rubbing his eyes, dressed so fly. But when he straps in he takes off. A real nice behind the scenes look that has over 21 million views! I most enjoy his own material he wrote best though. I don't think you have done Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love from this same venue and time. Make yourself comfortable, this is the best rabbit hole to fall into and such great company you will find. 👏🙌🌟💫⭐️💙🎸🎶
There is NOBODY LIKE STEVIE RAY. HE'S THE BEST OF THE BEST!❤ AND HE'S MY BROTHER.❤❤❤❤ THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER STEVIE RAY. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE MY STEVIE RAY WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL.❤❤❤❤
He actually did loose a tooth in this .. you can see he said it.." I lost a tooth" when he played with his teeth. But he continues to play!!. He's a badass!! I love this man!! Keep reacting to him and I will keep watching!! Yellow 💛 💛 car!!
Stevie didn't play guitar,he PLAYED WITH IT! His technique was SO GOOD,that he could BECOME THE GUITAR....ALMOST! He is the GOAT TO ME! I don't know who can be so versatile;Blues,Rock,Jazz,...Probably FOLK! LOL And,he was a GREAT PERFORMER!!! MOSTLY,STEVIE was a humble & good-hearted man! React to the biography of his younger yrs.
After he switched , he had to tune the guitar then played one handed, behind his back, gave a GREAT message then kept playing behind back and then with his teeth !!, OVER 37 YEARS AGO!! 😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥🔥🎸🔥🔥🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥😍🎸🔥RIP SRV!!!!!!!!
If I had to guess at what Stevie was doing with those knobs, and I don't pretend to actually know, I'd say he was trying to get those amplifiers to feedback more. Get that drone going for this song. He knew his gear and what he could do with it. Probably better than any of his crew or any other mortal.
Thankyou ...LOVE this song & Stevie was certainly the GOAT with his unique style and sound...Elvis had his God given voice & SRV had his God given fingers that could bend a guitar to do anything he wanted, both hits the soul, both had unique swagger & style yet humble...both taken too soon...unfortunately for whatever reason SRV is still fairly unknown and that's a crime! Glad youve found him...like Elvis...live is the only way to go....mesmerising to watch and no words can describe the feelings both convey in their artistry....some may say a strange comparison but i see many similarities ...we're lucky to have videos to watch...i cant imagine how i'd feel seeing Stevie (or Elvis) perform live in front of me!!! This particular song always gets me...esp wen he talks....and yes i watched to the end...YELLOW CAR! 🙏😋🤘🏻🇬🇧
Next.....check out Stevie Ray Vaughan “texas flood” live, at the el mocambo, 1983....another popular reactor staple that brings the house down......good stuff, I’m now subbed:D
You cannot go wrong with ANY Stevie Ray Vaughan song. He never played a song the same way twice, so even if you've watched him play a song, you're gonna get an entirely different experience when you watch different videos of the same songs. You should treat yourself and watch him perform "Look at Little Sister ". Then, treat yourself again, and watch Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan perform "Look at Little Sister ". Completely different experience, but you wouldn't want to miss either one. Just subbed. 👌😘💕💯🎸🥳💣💥
Next song: SRV same concert (capitol theatre) "couldn't stand the weather" someone remastered this entire concert and put it up on UA-cam. I'm not expecting a reaction to that however. haha
Joe Bonamassa is a current artist, arguably, who may be considered close to the talent level of SRV (Toured with BB King at 14 years of age), but he plays a different style of blues....... a lot more rock-n-roll style of blues IMO. Yes, the KB player, Reese Wynans is a GOAT. He now plays with Joe Bonamassa. If u r not familiar with JB may I suggest: Troubletown, Breaking Up Somebodys Home, I'll Play the Blues For You, What I've Known For a Very Long Time, I Gave Up Everything, Angel of Mercy are just a few........ the rabbit hole is DEEP! By all means jump on in, you won't regret it. Great reaction, TY.
Well, you're off to a great start on the Stevie Ray rabbit hole 🕳 and since you have so many people giving such wonderful suggestions, I think I will just leave another suggestion. "The Band - The Last Waltz - The Weight feat. the Staple Singers" and you are correct this is the blues... to be specific Stevie Ray Vaughan was a "Texas Bluesman" I thought I heard you mention something about losing someone...if that's accurate...I'm sorry for your loss I send healing hugs and prayers 🙏💖 Take care and have a bless day
Great reaction srv a true legend have a look at Jimmy Barnes - stone cold ft Joe bonnamassa a great blues song many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing 👍
I Wish You Had Been Able To Hear Stevie & His Band - Double Trouble - Live...The Way He & They Affected You Was Something You Can't Even Describe!! I Miss Hearing Him Every Summer At The Best Amphitheater In The Country, Red Rock In Colorado! Stevie Also Struggled His Whole Life With Severe Substance Addiction - Alcohol & Cocaine, Which He "Conquered" Three & A Half Years Before His Death Thru Hard Work & Dedication - THEN He Dedicated His Shows To Help Share His Story &To Encourage Others That Leaving Those Substances Behind Is A Better Option - Stevie Himself Nearly Died From Them In September Of 1986 Before He FINALLY Asked For Help! His Band Also Followed His Example & All Of Them - His Base Player Tommy, His Drummer Chris & Kick Ass Keyboardist Reese All Got Clean & Sober As Well! ➡️➡️Hear Stevies' Whole Journey, Told By He Himself & Recorded To Share During His Home AA Meeting On January 1st Of 1990 - Is Also Available To Hear On You Tube! Stevie Would Be Gone Just Months Later In A Flash Of A Tragic Helicopter Crash - It's Been 32 Years & I STILL Miss Him!! Stevie Was Not Just A God-Gifted Musician & Artist - He Loved People & He Was A Really Good Man! Check Out His Many Other Recordings & Videos - Even You Tube Channels Dedicated To "SRV's" Music - Both Studio Recordings & Live Shows Of Stevie & His Band & The Wide Variety Of Blues, Rock, Blues Covers, Songs He Wrote Himself, Texas Blues & Performances With All The Blues Masters Who Were Still Alive Who Stevie Absolutely Revered & Who Were His Mentors! You Will NOT Be Disappointed!! I Really Enjoyed Your Reactions To "Our Stevie"... Welcome To The Wonderful World Of His Music & The Musicians He Chose To Help Him Express It So Well! S💞S💗😘
Appreciate ya. Sorry you're going through it, but happy you found something in the music. I guess there really are no coincidences. And please don't ever buy a yellow car. How embarrassing.
Sorry for your loss it's terrible to go through. This song is amazing. First seen him when I was 17 at the Elmocambo in Toronto, (check it out ) and was hooked because I loved Jimmy Hendrix. Seen many shows after that though out life. Seen him front row at a tiny outdoor venue in upstate NY with another great Texas blues guitarist Johnny Winter opening. last song he did was Voodoo child by Jimmy two weeks later he was killed in the Helicopter. I feel fortunate to have seen him along with most of the greats .
❤ thank you for this one. No he didn’t drop his pick, if you watch close he changed guitars within the first minute. He was adjusting the new guitar to the sound/volume that he wanted. Only thing he lost during that performance was a fucking tooth lmao. Literally, you can see him saying “lost a tooth” close to the end.
That guitar is named Charlie after his friend who I believe was his guitar mechanic and this song was written about after his untimely death. That's why he says thanks Charlie after he pulls out a tooth with a string. You'll notice him looking for it.
The Allman Brothers Band had two of the greatest guitar players ever! Check out some of their music, it's amazing! They're also steep in the sound of blues/southern rock! And another young great guitar player is Billy Strings! He does a lot of flat picking' but he's also amazing!
SRV is one of the GOATs in my book. This live performance is a masterpiece. Yes, he dropped his pick. And if you notice at the very beginning he started with a red guitar. He either didn't like the sound of it, or he broke a string. My guess is he broke a string. He broke a lot of strings, even though he played with strings as big as the cables on the Brooklyn Bridge. That also gave him his unique sound. Eric Clapton said he tried to play one of SRV guitars and he couldn't, because of how big his strings were. In any case, he changed from a red guitar to a white guitar SRV called Charlie. He played it through the vocal, but when he came to the solo he made adjustments. It may not have been tuned to his liking. And then he put on the greatest performance I have ever seen. But that is just me. I also heard that when Stevie got done playing, his guitar had to have a cigarette. I don't always listen to SRV, but when I do, my neighbors do too. In my book, there are two people alive today that are worthy to be in SRV's class. One is Eric Clapton, of course, and the other is Joe Bonamassa. Joe and Eric are pretty damn good on the guitar, but not quite SRV, in my book. In this video, Clapton and Bonamassa jam together. Don't get real excited and expect some SRV kind of guitar work. This is simply two great guitar players that are alive today. Oh yea, yellow car: ua-cam.com/video/h5aVK70P88k/v-deo.html
To me, Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of the best current day blues rock guitarists. SRVs drummer Chris “Whipper” Layton has been in Kenny’s band for over a decade, that’s gotta tell you something there. Check out Kenny’s Shame Shame Shame live, While We Cry live, Heat of the Sun etc. basically anything of his live.
When his crew came out they were changing his guitar because he broke a string on his brown guitar named "Lenny". When he dials in on the Amp, he's creating a threshold for when the guitar is at a certain range it will get the feedback.
First, he popped an E-string I believe, so he changed guitars. Then the guitar wasn't setup for the song he was playing, so he had to adjust things to get the sound right where he wanted it. All while still performing the song uninterrupted.
For pure rock-n-roll, Joe Satriani still bends the stings and makes strange beautiful sounds with his guitar. If you want artsy, or, more correctly, entertainment-styled guitar playing, then Steve Vai. There's tons of blues guitarists around too such as, Joe Bonamassa. Joe plays the stage oldschool, generally with suit & tie, like the original blues players played it back in the day. But he can jam like anyone that's ever done it.
I looked at most of the comments. Reese Wynans is on the keyboards. He's done Somme solos with Stevie that are as amazing as Stevie. I saw someone mentioned bassist Tommy Shannon his best friend who went into rehab at the same time as Stevie in the fall of 1986. Tommy played at Woodstock with Johnny Winter. Chris Layton the drummer was with Stevie the longest and after Stevie passed became very close to Tommy. Tommy always wanted people to know that as great as Stevie was on the guitar was as humble generous and ki d a soul Stevie was. Stevie helped many people to sobriety including Bonnie Rait.
I remember the day he died. I was an aspiring guitarist and had attached to him big time. Then bam. He was gone. Devastated me. RIP SRV...just some constructive criticism.... You don't "have to curse". It'll hurt your channel in the long run.
He chipped a tooth when playing with his teeth that is what he mouthed lost tooth and gone . Stevie was a kind person and would help anyone he could and could not stand for anyone talk about anyone else it would make him mad
Can you pleeeeaaaase react to Stevie Ray Vaughan - Third Stone From The Sun live at El Mocambo 1985 or Leave My Girl Alone - live at Austin City Limits 1989👍👌👍
@@TonyyooYT Two very different songs. The first (Third Stone From The Sun) mimics what an alien ship would sound like visiting Earth. Jimi Hendrix created the original. The second song (Leave My Girl Alone) matches the vocals to the emotion he brings out of the guitar... replicating what a swarm of angry bees would sound like when somebody pokes at their hive with a stick. It is an original song by SRV. By the way, I think you'd love Stevie Ray's happy song "Pride And Joy," beloved by so many. I especially like his performance of "Lovestruck Baby"/"Rude Mood" from 1987 at Daytona Beach. SRV literally dances in the first song, then plunges into the second song, playing blisteringly fast. He and Double Trouble were really having a blast in that concert, and so was the audience!
You asked about a guitarist who's as good as Stevie... to put it in prospective, even Eric Clapton said HE gets lost playing and has to sometime stop and figure where else he wants to go in the music, but he said Stevie NEVER had that problem - that he was an open channel to the music! Oh, told you there was a message in this performance that we still hadn't learned yet! There IS an up and coming guitarist named Taj Farrant who MAY one day get this good... he's TWELVE, and he's damn good now! Look him up here on UA-cam. He started out playing at seven.
Eric Clapton once said he was very glad he never had to follow up a SRV act (Paraphrased). SRV was the GOAT then and is the GOAT today...... STILL (mho).
@@glennburch1081 He was ABSOLUTELY the GOAT, and I'm so glad he's still touching lives and inspiring musicians all these years later. I really wish that the music "industry" had paid him (and Chris, Tommy, and Reese) just dues while he was still living. I think they would have if he'd been straight up rock-n- roll instead of a blues man - the blues have always seemed to get short shift when it came to recognition of the "mainstream" That man opened his soul when he played and poured it out to us to see and HEAR when he did it. He never demanded us to pick up what he was laying down; he was such a humble man. I miss him.

During the coarse of this song, he changes guitar, drops and picks pick up, tuning amps/equipment multiple times, gives a motivational speech, plays behind his back, plays with his teeth, loses a tooth and looks for it all while playing and not missing a beat. SRV wasn't human. The GOAT

"Sound like church with a guitar" is absolute poetry, man.
Absolutely the greatest 🐐 of 🎸 ! And a even better human !
God bless you brother ,I was here till the end because I completely get it ! "Yellow car "

I saw him twice when I was a teenager before he died. He put everyone in a trance. God's speed and blessings on your own trials. You're never alone.

I'm here because you're human and you bring out my humanity.
Great song, notice the flawless guitar switch. The line where he says"Thanks for all the love you passed our way" is on his tombstone.
This is one of my fav. Songs of SRV
If I had to guess at what Stevie was doing with those knobs, and I don't pretend to actually know, I'd say he was trying to get those amplifiers to feedback more. Get that drone going for this song. He knew his gear and what he could do with it. Probably better than any of his crew or any other mortal.
I love Stevie Ray Vaughan. I watch all his videos and reactions videos.
I also used to ride around in a corvette yellow car…
He is badass, from what I understand he's a real nice man. Does tragic that he got cut down so young
Thankyou ...LOVE this song & Stevie was certainly the GOAT with his unique style and sound...Elvis had his God given voice & SRV had his God given fingers that could bend a guitar to do anything he wanted, both hits the soul, both had unique swagger & style yet humble...both taken too soon...unfortunately for whatever reason SRV is still fairly unknown and that's a crime!

He never played a song the same way twice, so even if you've watched him play a song, you're gonna get an entirely different experience when you watch different videos of the same songs. You should treat yourself and watch him perform "Look at Little Sister ". Then, treat yourself again, and watch Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan perform "Look at Little Sister ". Completely different experience, but you wouldn't want to miss either one. Just subbed. 👌😘💕💯🎸🥳💣💥
On the list and thank you for the sub !!
Next song: SRV same concert (capitol theatre) "couldn't stand the weather" someone remastered this entire concert and put it up on UA-cam. I'm not expecting a reaction to that however. haha
He’s the GOAT. No one can come close. Joe Bonamassa is worth checking out. Try “Dust Bowl” and “Sloe Gin”. But, no one can compare to SRV.
He is a Favorite Son of Texas.
We knew and loved him well, here in Austin.
You are awesome and a man of your word! I didn't think you'd get around to this so quickly, many thanks! Great job my friend~RIP Stevie ❤️
His “Texas flood” , live, at the el mocambo is STRAIGHT blues....it’ll make u feel better , that’s what the got-damn blues is ALL about
Dude in the MIDDLE of the song, without losing a beat has to change guitars. The fact that he did that and they did not miss a beat pretty impressive.
Right !! Amazing
Joe Bonamassa is a current artist, arguably, who may be considered close to the talent level of SRV (Toured with BB King at 14 years of age), but he plays a different style of blues....... a lot more rock-n-roll style of blues IMO. Yes, the KB player, Reese Wynans is a GOAT. He now plays with Joe Bonamassa. If u r not familiar with JB may I suggest: Troubletown, Breaking Up Somebodys Home, I'll Play the Blues For You, What I've Known For a Very Long Time, I Gave Up Everything, Angel of Mercy are just a few........ the rabbit hole is DEEP! By all means jump on in, you won't regret it. Great reaction, TY.
Well, you're off to a great start on the Stevie Ray rabbit hole 🕳 and since you have so many people giving such wonderful suggestions, I think I will just leave another suggestion. "The Band - The Last Waltz - The Weight feat. the Staple Singers" and you are correct this is the blues... to be specific Stevie Ray Vaughan was a "Texas Bluesman" I thought I heard you mention something about losing someone...if that's accurate...I'm sorry for your loss I send healing hugs and prayers 🙏💖 Take care and have a bless day
My favorite song and video. Thank you.
Yes, yes and yes ❤
THERE ALL GOAT'S YA'LL❤❤❤❤
I've never heard anyone as good as Stevie Ray, but Joe Bonamassa is f'n excellent ...

Appreciate ya. Sorry you're going through it, but happy you found something in the music. I guess there really are no coincidences. And please don't ever buy a yellow car. How embarrassing.
Lmao !
Sorry for your loss it's terrible to go through. This song is amazing. First seen him when I was 17 at the Elmocambo in Toronto, (check it out ) and was hooked because I loved Jimmy Hendrix. Seen many shows after that though out life. Seen him front row at a tiny outdoor venue in upstate NY with another great Texas blues guitarist Johnny Winter opening. last song he did was Voodoo child by Jimmy two weeks later he was killed in the Helicopter. I feel fortunate to have seen him along with most of the greats .
❤ thank you for this one. No he didn’t drop his pick, if you watch close he changed guitars within the first minute. He was adjusting the new guitar to the sound/volume that he wanted. Only thing he lost during that performance was a fucking tooth lmao. Literally, you can see him saying “lost a tooth” close to the end.
😅jeez
That guitar is named Charlie after his friend who I believe was his guitar mechanic and this song was written about after his untimely death. That's why he says thanks Charlie after he pulls out a tooth with a string. You'll notice him looking for it.
The Allman Brothers Band had two of the greatest guitar players ever! Check out some of their music, it's amazing! They're also steep in the sound of blues/southern rock! And another young great guitar player is Billy Strings! He does a lot of flat picking' but he's also amazing!
Yellow car!! Great reaction.
great contemporary blues guitarist is Eric Gales. he actually plays his guitar upside down, the way Albert King played.
SRV is one of the GOATs in my book. This live performance is a masterpiece. Yes, he dropped his pick. And if you notice at the very beginning he started with a red guitar. He either didn't like the sound of it, or he broke a string. My guess is he broke a string. He broke a lot of strings, even though he played with strings as big as the cables on the Brooklyn Bridge. That also gave him his unique sound. Eric Clapton said he tried to play one of SRV guitars and he couldn't, because of how big his strings were. In any case, he changed from a red guitar to a white guitar SRV called Charlie. He played it through the vocal, but when he came to the solo he made adjustments. It may not have been tuned to his liking. And then he put on the greatest performance I have ever seen. But that is just me. I also heard that when Stevie got done playing, his guitar had to have a cigarette. I don't always listen to SRV, but when I do, my neighbors do too.
In my book, there are two people alive today that are worthy to be in SRV's class. One is Eric Clapton, of course, and the other is Joe Bonamassa. Joe and Eric are pretty damn good on the guitar, but not quite SRV, in my book.
In this video, Clapton and Bonamassa jam together. Don't get real excited and expect some SRV kind of guitar work. This is simply two great guitar players that are alive today. Oh yea, yellow car:

To me, Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of the best current day blues rock guitarists. SRVs drummer Chris “Whipper” Layton has been in Kenny’s band for over a decade, that’s gotta tell you something there. Check out Kenny’s Shame Shame Shame live, While We Cry live, Heat of the Sun etc. basically anything of his live.
Link to Shame Shame Shame if you want it ua-cam.com/video/obWdrQeOHkQ/v-deo.html
Thank you for linking it ! ADDED
Kenny is Fantastic.
But Lord how I miss SRV!
STEVIE RAY IS THE GUITAR❤❤❤❤
You want to hear something beautiful listen to Rivera Paradise, he wrote while in rehab. It’s not sad it’s just beautiful.
Yellow car my brother, I love you. Keep it up.
I love you too and will do !
And the way you grin!!
When his crew came out they were changing his guitar because he broke a string on his brown guitar named "Lenny".
When he dials in on the Amp, he's creating a threshold for when the guitar is at a certain range it will get the feedback.
First, he popped an E-string I believe, so he changed guitars. Then the guitar wasn't setup for the song he was playing, so he had to adjust things to get the sound right where he wanted it. All while still performing the song uninterrupted.
It was Charlie he made that guitar for Stevie. The White guitar after he makes the switch. The Guitar is named Charlie. ❤❤❤❤
You also really need to check out his rendition of voodoo child. For real! He is definitely Jimi Hendrix white twin brother
I seen this one I love your channel bro I left a comment on the Voodoo Child. Butt SRV plays 13 gage strings other people play 10 gage.
😎👌🏾
For pure rock-n-roll, Joe Satriani still bends the stings and makes strange beautiful sounds with his guitar. If you want artsy, or, more correctly, entertainment-styled guitar playing, then Steve Vai. There's tons of blues guitarists around too such as, Joe Bonamassa. Joe plays the stage oldschool, generally with suit & tie, like the original blues players played it back in the day. But he can jam like anyone that's ever done it.
First time here..saw SRV and had to stop!!
Go Tigers!! Off to a good start this season
Definitely!!
Lyndsey Buckingham comes damn close. He played for Fleetwood Mac and is now currently a solo artist.
I looked at most of the comments. Reese Wynans is on the keyboards. He's done Somme solos with Stevie that are as amazing as Stevie. I saw someone mentioned bassist Tommy Shannon his best friend who went into rehab at the same time as Stevie in the fall of 1986. Tommy played at Woodstock with Johnny Winter. Chris Layton the drummer was with Stevie the longest and after Stevie passed became very close to Tommy. Tommy always wanted people to know that as great as Stevie was on the guitar was as humble generous and ki d a soul Stevie was. Stevie helped many people to sobriety including Bonnie Rait.
I remember the day he died. I was an aspiring guitarist and had attached to him big time. Then bam. He was gone. Devastated me. RIP SRV...just some constructive criticism.... You don't "have to curse". It'll hurt your channel in the long run.
Yep ....lost a great one!
Love!!
This is closer to Soul IMO
Eric Steckel is an amazing musician, he tours in Europe a lot. He calls his music bluesmetal and he is extremely talented. Check him out, if you like.
He’s not dropping his pic, he is adjusting volumes on his pedals. He also does the same thing with his amps.
He chipped a tooth when playing with his teeth that is what he mouthed lost tooth and gone . Stevie was a kind person and would help anyone he could and could not stand for anyone talk about anyone else it would make him mad
Can you pleeeeaaaase react to Stevie Ray Vaughan - Third Stone From The Sun live at El Mocambo 1985 or Leave My Girl Alone - live at Austin City Limits 1989👍👌👍
On the list !
@@TonyyooYT Two very different songs. The first (Third Stone From The Sun) mimics what an alien ship would sound like visiting Earth. Jimi Hendrix created the original. The second song (Leave My Girl Alone) matches the vocals to the emotion he brings out of the guitar... replicating what a swarm of angry bees would sound like when somebody pokes at their hive with a stick. It is an original song by SRV. By the way, I think you'd love Stevie Ray's happy song "Pride And Joy," beloved by so many. I especially like his performance of "Lovestruck Baby"/"Rude Mood" from 1987 at Daytona Beach. SRV literally dances in the first song, then plunges into the second song, playing blisteringly fast. He and Double Trouble were really having a blast in that concert, and so was the audience!
Please listen to “Couldn’t Stand the Weather” from the same concert: Live at The Capitol Theatre 1985.
You asked about a guitarist who's as good as Stevie... to put it in prospective, even Eric Clapton said HE gets lost playing and has to sometime stop and figure where else he wants to go in the music, but he said Stevie NEVER had that problem - that he was an open channel to the music! Oh, told you there was a message in this performance that we still hadn't learned yet! There IS an up and coming guitarist named Taj Farrant who MAY one day get this good... he's TWELVE, and he's damn good now! Look him up here on UA-cam. He started out playing at seven.
Eric Clapton once said he was very glad he never had to follow up a SRV act (Paraphrased). SRV was the GOAT then and is the GOAT today...... STILL (mho).
@@glennburch1081 He was ABSOLUTELY the GOAT, and I'm so glad he's still touching lives and inspiring musicians all these years later. I really wish that the music "industry" had paid him (and Chris, Tommy, and Reese) just dues while he was still living. I think they would have if he'd been straight up rock-n- roll instead of a blues man - the blues have always seemed to get short shift when it came to recognition of the "mainstream" That man opened his soul when he played and poured it out to us to see and HEAR when he did it. He never demanded us to pick up what he was laying down; he was such a humble man. I miss him.
Will do !! 12 ?! I have to see that
If you want to hear some not sad blues, listen to Albert Collins's. "I ain't Drunk".😁
You can hear the changes he is making you just need to listen deeper.
React to "The Vaughan Brothers - Tick Tock" 🤠 A Really Good Song!
Joe Bonamassa is today’s best guitarist. Derek Trucks is there too.
Warren Haynes. That’s my picks of guitarists close to this level of talent.
Good reaction.
You may not know this but THIS SONG IS TO ME!!
AS A MATTER OF FACT ALL HIS SONGS ARE ABOUT ME!! LOL
