Isn’t it amazing that after 30 years, we are still chasing that SRV magic? I’m 72, and still am enjoying the way Stevie used his skills, soul and talent to produce the music I still love.
32 yrs old and I'm getting inspiration and influence from SRV every single day. I wish so badly I could have seen him play. I was born only 3 months after he passed 😔
Watched a doco on Stevie long after his death and didn't realise how long of an apprenticeship he went through playing gigs 2nd or third string for years in low level type clubs from when he was very young. The dude really did pay his dues in sweat and hours of dedication to become as great as he was, and as this compilation of his tricks and styles shows how much he studied and indeed admired those who came before him.
I have no clue how it works but I’ll go a month or two without listening to a random SRV album or a random Hendrix album and it’s as if I had never heard those songs before. Like I know the songs and have loved the songs since I was a young kid but the music is always captivating. The true GOATs
This literally might be the best video I've ever watched concerning the classic SRV techniques. You demonstrated enough to encourage practice and then play ourselves to make it 'our own' some day. Much better than simply copying a solo. Thank you very much. Superb!
Hendrix inspired me to play guitar but, Stevie Ray is my favorite. This is the best video I’ve saw on his style. Absolutely awesome & your playing is amazing as well.
Wherever or whoever these licks come from, your personality and heart captures the essence of the feeling of the momentum of their execution. That said, your love and humour makes for the best show and tell of music a teacher has to give. Thanks so much for bearing the torch.
I love all the little slides. I would have added just one more. SRV changed pick up a 1000 times during each song. I picked up on it years ago and do with with all my guitars. It breaks up the tone. Really is the bomb!
I rented a CD from the library called Stevie Ray Vaughan live at Austin city limits. OMG, I have never seen anyone play so fast in my life. It was hard to believe his fingers could move so fast and his other hand was doing something completely different. I recommend that for anyone looking for a new appreciation for what Stevie was all about and singing at the same time. Plus writing his own music. He must've played guitar in his sleep. I was so crushed when I heard about his senseless, tragic death especially after finally getting clean from his life long drug and alcohol habit. He even said that his problems with booze and drugs held him back from getting gigs that would have lifted him to stardom. He was the total package , his clothes, mannerisms, guitar maestro, singer. Really someone unique and special. RIPSRV.
The first time I learnt about the double string vibrato/bending was at the end of the Back in Black solo. Never realized so much of ACDC came from the blues.
As usual, fantastic video Thom! SRV was and always will be the real deal Blues player! Hope that you and your family are doing well and enjoying your new surroundings! 👍👍👏👏
Great playing and some solid tips. The slides made me smile, such a simple trick and it sounds so good if you master it. He also liked his hammer ons, but you showed some great examples and influences. Thanks.
incredible video, pilgrim! and just stellar playing as per usual. it was awesome hearing you explain the trick, then hear it in isolation, then in context where it all came together.
You are back and great to see and hear you again. What a great subject to re-start your videos with...the late, great SRV...welcome back and hope you have settled well back in Holland...kudos to you as always for a well played, researched and produced presentation
Great video demo!....Thanks!...Stevie had a great combination of talent and humility.....as great and innovative as he was I found it very interesting that he still was very insecure about his massive talent and would quite often have panic attacks before going on stage.....massive talent and very human.....great playing yourself there Guitar Pilgrim!
That was awesome Pilgrim! I just learned Empty Arms, so this was quite timely. Also learned Tightrope from you and I love that Freddie King bend from nowhere! Here, I love the Washing Machine, the quick slide, and #1! Thanks!! 🎸😎🤘🏽🔥🎶
SRV is a great story teller using as background his own musical world. He brings in tension and relief using unforgettable musical passages, intros and solos. I find trick #3 very distinctive for his signature sound.
you got my subscription on this video. i knew a bunch of them, and learned a handfull more, now. i must say, you really have one of the best blues feels out there.
I have to say this chap is the most exciting and informative guitar chap on youtube. You could spend a month just working through this one vid and coming out a superior player. Who else has this guys passion? Thanks, pilgrim. Any chance of some original blues playing?.....
JIMI.. got me into the blues.. the first time I heard 'Red House'.. I was blown away.. then a short jump to SRV... once I played 'Live at the El Macombo' on VHS (yeah, I'm that old)... his version of 'Texas Flood' from that set.. IMO, is THE best live version ever recorded. to this day.. Jimi/Stevie... back and forth as to which one is my favorite. Great video as always dude!
@@Mitch1977 I couldn't agree more, Mitch, and have been saying the same for well over 30 years now. As far as what gets me going, it's simply the best guitar playing demonstration i've ever witnessed.
I challenge people all the time to find two videos of Stevie Ray Vaughan playing the same song live the same way. I've yet to find an example of it. I think that's an aspect of Stevie's virtuosity that goes underappreciated by many. The structure of the song was mostly the same. The riffs and licks are there. But the performances are still fundamentally different because of his improvisations. Of course, Double Trouble (including Reece) are legendary for being able to follow and keep up with the changes flawlessly.
@@Mitch1977 A good friend of mine in HS, who was also a huge SRV fan, had the VHS tape. We watched it so many times we basically wore it out. lol. What was funny is that I was into heavy metal, rock, etc... Once I heard the blues.. REALLY listened.. I never looked back. I focused my entire musical life on the blues. Even now, I have other musical tastes.. but it always comes back to the blues. always.
Just stumbled on this channel. Great video: to the point, no fluff, I like it. I already knew what number 1 would be. I already stole that trick from Stevie years ago and still love to use it :D
I just love the way your videos focus on the passion/mojo/vibe/groove one needs to deliver to play like these legends. Of course when it comes to SRV or Jimi ... well ... good luck :)
Let me know which trick was most interesting and useful! I personally love all 10 of em!
Been doing number 7 all these times, the most amazing was number 1. That was SUPERB !!
all 10.. thank you!
All of them !
And your unique way to see those Guitar shades in various players, led you to a series 😂
We want 10 trick of other artist 😁👍
How exactly are you getting that righteous tone on your Strat?
I liked #9____😎✌
Isn’t it amazing that after 30 years, we are still chasing that SRV magic? I’m 72, and still am enjoying the way Stevie used his skills, soul and talent to produce the music I still love.
73 and I totally agree. Keeping light burning baby!
32 yrs old and I'm getting inspiration and influence from SRV every single day. I wish so badly I could have seen him play. I was born only 3 months after he passed 😔
23 yrs and rocking with Stevie!!!!
54 and can't get enough of SRV!
Wow, 72 more by brother !
So no one's gonna talk about how impressive pilgrim himself is? Dude's slaying it 💯
He's entirely awesome.
For sure. One amazing player
Pilgrim is an amazing player! He plays everybody and everything with equal proficiency. Amazing! Love all his videos.
Stevie Ray Vaughan always had such an immense tone. He was a monster player.
And all at mega volume, very little room for error at that volume and you hardly ever hear him mess up on live vids
@@nowthen873 I saw him at the Horden Pavilion in Sydney Australia. My ears are still ringing 30+ years later
Watched a doco on Stevie long after his death and didn't realise how long of an apprenticeship he went through playing gigs 2nd or third string for years in low level type clubs from when he was very young. The dude really did pay his dues in sweat and hours of dedication to become as great as he was, and as this compilation of his tricks and styles shows how much he studied and indeed admired those who came before him.
Could you imagine if that was today? The club would be shutdown for allowing minors in.
Jesus, what have I just watched? Looks like I have just found THE video to watch every single time before practicing! Thank you so much for this, man!
I’ve been listening to Stevie and Jimi my entire life and I still hear things they played that blow me away.

Great video(s) - shout out to Freddie King. He seems to be overlooked and was possibly one of SRV's greatest influences.
Hendrix inspired me to play guitar but, Stevie Ray is my favorite. This is the best video I’ve saw on his style. Absolutely awesome & your playing is amazing as well.

Loving the content, as ever Pilgrim. You do justice to every style you play. Top work man.
I want 11s and the tech says since I'm a female I need 9s. My hands are strong with plenty of callouses and many years of work. Geeeeez......
So much from a 12min video! Took me years to understand some of those techniques! Thanks a lot!
The first time I learnt about the double string vibrato/bending was at the end of the Back in Black solo. Never realized so much of ACDC came from the blues.
My son was born four years after SRV died. We struggled to give him a proper name. So I convinced my wife we should name him after Stevie.
Awesome! Thanks. Stevie was one of the best
This was great! It just shows how little subtleties in the way you play can make such a huge difference in the sound!
I love this dutch dude's enthusiasm. very animated and non-boring
A great channel and so, so engaging. The passion beams through and I’m compelled to watch to the end.
That was an incredible list of tricks!
Thank you, for sharing!
fantastic imitation of stevie ,,liking your channel for a long time now,,,your enthusiasm is catchy...cheers from australia
I absolutely adore your enthusiasm and admire your music and guitar knowledge.
Props!
This is amazing, and so much fun to watch. Great video!
Thanks - huge SRV fan. Always fun to hear how his work is interpreted.
Great job showing us some of Stevie’s tricks.
Love your stuff! Keep the SRV coming!
As usual, fantastic video Thom! SRV was and always will be the real deal Blues player! Hope that you and your family are doing well and enjoying your new surroundings! 👍👍👏👏
Great video GP!! Many thanks. Great to see how Stevie took so many influences from those before him and created his own style.
Amazing video....one of the greatest explanations on how Stevie use those licks.....
#3 and #1 - are new lines to my poetry. Thank You!
I think that’s one of the best SRV sounds and show of style & techniques I’ve seen in a long while….🫥
love all your videos, thank you
Superb playing ...thanks. Inspirational stuff for me!
Amazing video. I always found SRV's playing to be unique, awe-inspiring. You pretty much outline exactly why that is so, here in this vid. Thank you!
excellent pédagogue ... avec le sourire Merci !
Absolutely fantastic breakdown!
Great playing and some solid tips.
The slides made me smile, such a simple trick and it sounds so good if you master it.
He also liked his hammer ons, but you showed some great examples and influences.
Thanks.
Such a great demo, thank you! You gave me a veritable buffet of chops, to add to my playing.
SRV is the real Legend.. and now you explain it very well his lick.. thanks alot man.. i love the way you break down it 🤟

Great video dude! Thanks for explaining and demonstrating them so clearly and enjoyably
This was fun and entertaining! They broke the mold. Good player here, thanks!

Absolutely awesome man!
One of the best videos on your channel. Congratulations from Brazil 😎
Just discovered your channel. This was awesome. Thanks for sharing! ❤

You made these licks easy to learn, you have him nailed, thanx!

Je verdiend 10 x zoveel abonnees. Geweldige techniek, frasering en sound. Geweldig
Bro. This video is magic.
Great playing and great tricks & licks
Kudos to a job very well done 👍
Nice SRV solo improvisation at the end. Really recognisable and tightly played. Your technique is superb.
Excellent lesson and video!!!
That was awesome Pilgrim! I just learned Empty Arms, so this was quite timely. Also learned Tightrope from you and I love that Freddie King bend from nowhere! Here, I love the Washing Machine, the quick slide, and #1! Thanks!! 🎸😎🤘🏽🔥🎶

Great video!! Thanks!

The El Mocambo show was probably the greatest guitar exhibition evening ever played..at least I think so!
Same here

Great job
Thank you, bro! we need more SRV videos!!!
I just love the way your videos focus on the passion/mojo/vibe/groove one needs to deliver to play like these legends. Of course when it comes to SRV or Jimi ... well ... good luck :)
Hey you're back.
Great vid !
Blessed to have seen Stevie in 1983 🤘😎
Great vid on my fav guitar player. Thanks!!
