Stevie Ray was a beast , you have to give credit to his band also . Can you imagine trying to keep up with Stevie every night . They were definitely solid musicians who deserve tons of credit 👍
Stevie Ray IS the guitar, hate sayin was. Born to play guitar, he could not have been anything else. He did Voodoo Child in so many ways, it's just sick. Always mind blowing and fresh, every time I hear a thing I didn't before or see a move that looks new. I think this was no ordinary man, maybe he had his own magik or was blessed with it. Legend,, legendary. ☮️to all.
the sound at the start is a wah wah pedal, that allows the player to change their EQ between wider/thicker sounds and thinner ones with their foot pedal, when you rock it back and forth, you get the wah wah effect from the start and end of this performance. He is also using it to help get specific tone points in the song, different for the verse and the solos. The knobs and pickup switch on his guitar also change his tone several times quite drastically, especially going into the first verse, watch his right hand when it isnt strumming and he'c constantly flipping settings on the fly to get tone in real time.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness For the next two in the 'Best of SRV' vids: **Texas Flood at El Macambo** **Life Without You at Capitol Theater**
his guitar reminds me of a masters blackbelt , all worn and ugly , but you know how they got it that way , hard work and dedication ....and loving what you do . .................I just love it !
my sister was at the performance at the El Mocambo in 1983 .. she went to every concert he played in Ontario .. he was one special performer .. truly the best in the known universe
@@jimprescott1843 ...yes, everybody had them. The electric guitar was invented in 1931, but it took Jimi Hendrix to show its true potential. It isn't the equipment, it's the approach. We have more equipment than ever, but we don't have a Jimi Hendrix! His concept of music was uncanny, it opened the door for real fascinating music. I got a wah wah pedal and a distortion pedal, just like everyone does but I'm not Hendrix.
@@paulschmidt1247 😂😂😂... that's the only opinion I can give! My reason is that no one would even know who Stevie Ray Vaughn is if he didn't play Hendrix's music. When Hendrix did Johnny B Goode, he did it in Hendrix fashion, while Stevie Ray Vaughn copied Hendrix's work almost to the note. Stevie Ray Vaughn's Texas blues sound is great, except he puts it in every song he plays. Hendrix on the other hand has variations in his music that makes him incomparable. When he plays Red House it is a different sound than when he plays Purple Haze, which is different than when he plays Machine Gun, which is different still from when he plays Like a Rolling Stone. Stevie's signature sound is what musicians don't want. They don't want pieces of one song that are incorporated in others, that's where creativity comes in. Being a great guitarist, doesn't mean that you are a creative one, ask Paco de Lucia. He was probably the greatest guitarist in the world, but that's mechanics, not creativity. He doesn't have one song that he created that anyone knows, and that is sad. Thank you for allowing me to retort.
@ your out of your damn mind, just ask Eric Clapton, BB KING, Albert King, Buddy Guy, John Mayer, there is a video on TH-cam with all these guitarist raving about Stevie, Eric Clapton heard Stevie on the radio playing his own music not Jimmy’s stopped his car and said I need to know who this is by the end of the day.
What they all said, Texas Flood @Macambo. Hes been gone for at least a few decades now and people are still amazed by him. One of the best guitarist to ever walk the earth.
SRV is in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and also is in Blues Hall of Fame . He has played with BBKing , Johnny Copeland and Albert King , mentored by such artists and others in the blues . Had several hits in late 80s . Please check his videos performances and remember every live performance is different . Also just a little fact , Stevie could not read music it's all talent and hard work .
The blues Godfather BB King let Stevie Ray Vaughan when he was 18 years old step up and play with him and he never did that for anybody else. Look it up you'll be shocked, 18!
Stevie’s older brother Jimmie’s band The Chessmen opened for Jimi Hendrix a couple of times in Dallas and Fort Worth. Hendrix accidentally broke a wah-wah pedal he borrowed from Jimmie Vaughan and gave Vaughan his own broken one, which Vaughan fixed and gave to Stevie, who used it often, until it was stolen. Anyway, there was an indirect connection and Hendrix was a huge influence on him. He was a skinny little guy with huge hands and a natural gift who developed that gift by playing guitar whenever he wasn’t in class, all day and all night.
Hey, Kay here! Thanks for playing this. I had a feeling you'd enjoy it. Yes, Stevie played ALL.THE.TIME. His ex wife said his hands and fingers would move while he was sleeping... This is the video your guitar watches while you are at work!😆 Stevie will very often do the "stank face" while playing the Blues. Thats when you know its good. As a matter of fact, if you look up the term "stank face" in the dictionary, Stevie's picture is beside it. This guitar ("Number One") is probably worth a cool million. His 2nd most favorite guitar sold for over $600k after his death. Stevie was a local boy from Dallas, but lived in Austin (one of the most important places for music in the US) for a number of years, then moved back to Dallas when he got cleean & lived with his mom in the little house he was born in. And on the day he was buried, 8/30/90, thousands of people attended the graveside service, even though it was over 100°. Some of the people who attended were David Bowie, Blues legend Albert King, Mick Jagger... Stevie Wonder sang at the funeral. Since I live close, I go there to pay my respects several times a year. You will almost always meet another fan there - some come from around the world.
Listen again, this time to the bassist and drummer, both of whom are legends in their own right. Stevie took the creativity of Hendrix and made it truly musical.
Great reaction, thanks. Love the way he always gives his guitar a little extra in this video 😂. Saw him in Australia in the 80s, all his videos are worth a look.
I too was blessed to see him live twice, heard about the crash while I was at work one day, I was just devastated walked around in a daze that whole day
Lived just outside of Austin and saw him 8 times. Once my husband and I didn't have money for tickets and sat outside the fence at an outdoor venue. Some idiot threw a beer bottle and hit a cop in the head, so we all got tear gassed.😮
He looked up to Jimi = this is a Jimi cover. SRV didn't plug into an amp - he plugged into his soul. His song Texas Flood at El Macabo could beat the Devil at the cross-roads.
OK, transition from this, to Jimi Hendrix doing "hey Joe" at the Monterrey Pop Festival in 1967. You will see where Stevie got a lot of his bars, and even some of his style. Jimi was the innovator, Stevie took it to the next level.
He's got wah-wah pedals that you hear several times, and a whammy bar on the guitar. The pedals used to belong to Jimi Hendrix, and were a gift from his family. And you're so right, the guitar was an extention of him. He didn't play it; it sang through him. Truely the GOAT! ❤ And fyi, this was a cover of Jimi Hendrix' original. Stevie was a big Hendrix fan, and he definitely did Hendrix proud! 😊
Stevie was born to play the Blues. He never held anything back. Just went full tilt wide open all the way. Crossfire is my favorite song by Stevie followed by Pride And Joy.
I highly recommend listening to the original creator of Voodoo Child, Jimi Hendrix off the album Are You Experienced. As a young teenager, I heard this for the first time. My life and world of music was never the same.
He's using a pedal to make the guitar do that. He's basically turning a boost pedal (presumably an Ibanez TubeScreamer) on and off very quickly, so it goes back and forth between the boosted sound, and the non-boosted sound.
Went to school with him . Saw him up close and personal at the old MotherBlues club in Dallas and it was a Religious experience to see him play like that only feet away from me. Went out back at the club after a tech problem and chatted with them and burnt one with them.Good times back in that day.
Thanks, guy... Jimi was amazing, IMHO Stevie was even better... and he gave all respect to Hendrix! appreciate your reaction.. hope you react to more by SRV...
One of the top-10 3-man groups of the 1980s-1990s. SRV and Double Trouble (Chris Layton, drums; Tommy Shannon, bass). SRV paying homage to Jimi Hendrix by taking this psycho-rock tune to the next quantum level of consciousness! RAVE ON!!
That device Stevie Ray is using to enhance the guitar sound is called the 'waa waa pedal'. Not sure if that is THEE 'pedal' ... but he was given the one that Jimi Hendrix owned from Jimi's dad. #Voodoo Chile was also written in 1968 by Hendrix. Jimi's version is a bit rough around the edges due to the amount of guitar distortion used but Jimi was the master of bringing distortion type sounds into rock music back then. Had alot to do with types of amps, guitars & strings and volume used or wasn't. Jimi was a creative genius. SRV's version was more polished and crisp sounding making it one of his signature songs during performances. Stevie was a self-taught player starting at the age of 7 and could not read music. Stevie is considered the GOAT guitarist still today. Even better than Jimi in many opinions. All has to do with a persons taste in music, but personally, I like both men but I gravitate more to Stevie Ray Vaughan. There are things he did on a guitar that some have never seen before and probably never will today by any living guitar player. SRV was killed in a freak helicopter crash after finishing a two-day blues festival with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and big brother Jimmie Vaughan [3 years older] at the Alpine Valley Music Theater & Ski Resort in East Troy, Wisconsin August 27, 1990. Helicopters were the only way out of the venue for artists due to one lane road which was used for the concert attendees. Stevie boarded the copter [1 of 4 there that night] along with pilot Jeff Brown, Clapton's agent Bobby Brooks, bodyguard Nigel Browne and asst. tour manager Colin Smythe. They were headed back to the hotel in Chicago where Stevie wanted to call his girlfriend. The pilot took off from the venue at 1:00 a.m. in dense fog. Brown lifted off at a higher rate of speed and slightly lower altitude than the other 3 pilots. It banked sharply to the left [possibility the pilot hit cables to the ski lifts before crashing], and at full speed [100 mi. per hr] slammed into the side of a 300 ft. ski slope about 0.6 mi from takeoff. No one saw the hill coming because of poor visibility. At least that is what we are led to believe. All 5 were killed instantly. No one knew there was a problem until the copter failed to arrive at its destination. A Wisconsin Civil Air Patrol found the wreckage at about 7:00 a.m. Stevie had suffered from a number of unsurvivable injuries. Stevie Ray was laid to rest August 31, 1990 at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas, Texas. A bronze statute was put up in Texas in memory of Stevie Ray Vaughan. The day before the crash, SRV told his drummer, Chris Layton, and crew members about the nightmare he had of himself attending and watching his own funeral with thousands of mourners. He was "terrified, yet almost peaceful". 1,500 attended his funeral and another 3,000+ were outside. He was 35. Five weeks before his 36 birthday. RIP STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN 🎸
You have just stepped into the wonderfully vast rabbit hole where master guitar players reside. Jump all in and experience the mind melting brilliance of these artists. Keep an ear out for these names: Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, to name a few. Your viewership will skyrocket, guaranteed.
The GOAT OF GOATS! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and double trouble is one the best bottoms around, or was! 👍 Dude there is still out there that is even older, that will blow you sock off….Led Zeppelin live!
... That cool sound you're referring to is called a Wah wah pedal patched through his guitar, is controlled by your foot, rocking it back and forth feelin' the .note: Stevie Ray Vaughan is brilliant but make no mistake about it..he dedicated his life.. his entire life until his shity un timely death..to Jimi Hendrix Hendrix. He loved that man. He loved that man's music..and we all loved him for it. Thanks for the video I'm going to go cry now, a nd I'm alright with it, because that's what the Blues does to ya .. cleanse my soul.
@@victoriapowell7170 ... There's a funny story about Adele and the wah wah pedal sound, where as she doesn't like it and didn't know what it was?? Several funny stories online from her bandmates... When during a mix down Adele kept saying "there it is again". "that sound".."what is that awful noise" is the tape dragging or something" ?🤭
The word is he borrowed Jimmy Hendricks Wawa pedal just for this cover.I've also heard it was given to him by the estate or Jimmy's family's. No doubt its Jimmy's pedal. Listen to the Original cut and you will hear it there too ha, gave me chills in a good way...
it is a MUST, a MUST, to watch Stevie do "Texas Flood" Live at the El Mocambo. The ultimate in the SRV EXPERIENCE!!!
It isn't often that we get to witness greatness in our lifetime . He was Greatness!
Stevie Ray was a beast , you have to give credit to his band also . Can you imagine trying to keep up with Stevie every night . They were definitely solid musicians who deserve tons of credit 👍
Stevie Ray Vaughn had great hands,... a Legend!
Stevie Ray IS the guitar, hate sayin was. Born to play guitar, he could not have been anything else. He did Voodoo Child in so many ways, it's just sick.

Stevie never played a song exactly the same twice. Because he didn't have to,
Life without you live at capital theatre by Stevie will blow your hair back.
SRV and Johnny Copland Tin Pan Alley fantastic blues song
the sound at the start is a wah wah pedal, that allows the player to change their EQ between wider/thicker sounds and thinner ones with their foot pedal, when you rock it back and forth, you get the wah wah effect from the start and end of this performance.

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
For the next two in the 'Best of SRV' vids:
**Texas Flood at El Macambo**
**Life Without You at Capitol Theater**
his duet with Johnny Copeland doing Tin Pan Alley is fantastically mean
I love it! I'm totally stealing the phrase "goatiest of all goatness"! I would also say "goaty Mcgoat man".. lol
Stevie is the king of Texas blues! RIP STEVIE! Check out Texas Flood live from El Mocambo!
his guitar reminds me of a masters blackbelt , all worn and ugly , but you know how they got it that way , hard work and dedication ....and loving what you do . .................I just love it !
The more you watch...the more you will be amazed 🐐🎸🔥
You should react to soundcheck and him playing little wing his soundcheck is better then most concerts
I recommend Texas Flood @ Mocambo
And his Little Wing cover.
Pues yo recomiendo todas la versiones que interpreto de voodo chile...sobre todo esta y donde tira la guitarra al piso y la toca con sus botas 😊
Little behind the back😙
Definitely what these folks said. Texas Flood and Lenny from his Live at the El Mocambo.
my sister was at the performance at the El Mocambo in 1983 .. she went to every concert he played in Ontario .. he was one special performer .. truly the best in the known universe
THE GOAT!!! Its a foot pedal he's using to help the change.

SRV is one with his guitar. He played mostly Texas blues and his mentor and Godfather was the great Albert King.
Listen again, this time to the bassist and drummer, both of whom are legends in their own right. Stevie took the creativity of Hendrix and made it truly musical.
Jimmy’s song, Jimmy’s foot pedal. SRV taking Jimmy to a level that nobody else ever will… your right, it had the feel. Great reaction.
STEVIE was so good he slept with that strat,he's amazing,and then some,RIP YOU GENIUS YOU,GOD YOU ARE MISSED
Great reaction, thanks. Love the way he always gives his guitar a little extra in this video 😂. Saw him in Australia in the 80s, all his videos are worth a look.
Check out Life Without You live at the Capitol Theater. Enjoy 🎸🇺🇸🔥
I was blessed to see him live 3 or 4 times in my life. It was just like you would expect, absolutely awe inspiring.
I too was blessed to see him live twice, heard about the crash while I was at work one day, I was just devastated walked around in a daze that whole day

Thank you for posting this. He was an amazing man. Please check out Mary Had a Little Lamb from this same Austin Limit Show. 😊
The video you need to see of SRV, a soundcheck. He comes in yawning, looking half asleep, picks up his guitar and shreds.
You should check out, Stevie doing voodoo child at the cotton club! He shakes a fans hand in the middle of voodoo child, and doesn’t miss a beat!!
I would recommend Stevie Ray Vaughan and Johnny Copeland tin Pan Alley
Well, that was exhausting! Every time I view this I feel like I'm holding my breath throughout, then finally exhaling when he stops. SRV forever. ☮️
Stevie was born to play the Blues. He never held anything back. Just went full tilt wide open all the way. Crossfire is my favorite song by Stevie followed by Pride And Joy.
He got a Grammy for doing a cover of Hendrix's work, then Hendrix got a Star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
As a Texan, I approve of this video... ;p SRV is one of the greats of all time, may he rest in peace...

He is stepping on the WA-WA Pedal that once belong to the great Jimi Hendrix who wrote this song.
Stevie didn't play guitar, he was actually possessed by it and the guitar played him
SRV and Jeff Healey "Look At Little Sister"
Thanks for the reaction
Thanks, guy... Jimi was amazing, IMHO Stevie was even better... and he gave all respect to Hendrix! appreciate your reaction.. hope you react to more by SRV...
No doubt!
Love Stevie Ray Vaughn. FYI: This is a Jimi Hendrix cover. Check out Jimi's version!
STEVIE...liked Jimi. 😅
De hecho toco todos los éxitos de Hendrix. ..y más que bien, o sí muy muy bien
You would never get the two confused. Jimmy did his and SRV did his.
The first Austin City limits is absolute 🔥
And anything from the El Mocambo set.
🤛😎👍
🔥🌳🌬️💨
what a bad ass,,,,wow
❤❤❤❤❤❤YES ANYTHING LIVE YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG..
This concert is on video or online. I believe this is Austin City Limits. Watch the whole thing. You can’t stop looking at his fingers. Unbelievable.
Ever heard of the guy that wrote, and PLAYED this song? He's a black dude...and well known! STEVIE DEFINITELY WAS A FAN! His name was Jimi Hendrix!

No one knew there was a problem until the copter failed to arrive at its destination. A Wisconsin Civil Air Patrol found the wreckage at about 7:00 a.m. Stevie had suffered from a number of unsurvivable injuries. Stevie Ray was laid to rest August 31, 1990 at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas, Texas. A bronze statute was put up in Texas in memory of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Please,please remember that Stevie is doing a tribute to MR. Hendrix ..........don't ever forget "the original "
🔥
He would have been 70 on October 3
You should look at live at the mocambo with Stevie 😮
Actually he honored Jimi Man Hendrix who wrote it must watch also.
This song was written before 1970!
If I told you he played guitar like this, you wouldn't have believed me!
💯
So excited live at the el mocambo
Stevie's rendition of Jimi Hendrix' Voodoo Child.
It's a channel switcher or amps, basically a foot pedal mostly used in solo's
Good grief…dude is channeling Hendrix. The best rendition of this song I’ve seen
Welcome to the SRV rabbit 🕳️
This is a Jimi Hendrix cover written in 1968. SRV was heavily influenced by Hendrix.
This song is from 1960s , Jimi Hendrix- check it out, Stevie killed it , but Jimi was the O.G. , who was SRV idol growing up
You need to get to know this gentleman
You have just been baptized by SRV.....RIP Texas Flood Live El Mocambo
He is showing respect to jimmy hendrix
Song was made famous by the great Jimmy Hendrix
He is stepping on a wah pedal. Or wah wah pedal. Great for expressing.
You should watch the whole 89 Austin city limits show. Absolute masterpiece
to everyone who is recommending life without you at the capital theatre, watch the nashville show, he was clean personally and cleaner on playing
Its called a wah wah pedal...💞✌️
The word is he borrowed Jimmy Hendricks Wawa pedal just for this cover.I've also heard it was given to him by the estate or Jimmy's family's. No doubt its Jimmy's pedal. Listen to the Original cut and you will hear it there too ha, gave me chills in a good way...
SRV is using a Wah Wah pedal
This IS Jimi's Song. SRV took it to a new level.
Jimmy wrote that song
The song is well over 50 years old.
