@@NunYaO There are many good guitarists who have come, are still around, or have gone.... Gary Moore, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, etc. They all had their own styles. Ren isn't doing anything that hasn't been done before, and better. He's actually somewhat boring and mediocre.
Yes having lived in Austin during his heyday, I got to see him play live many times . I also got to see all the greats that came through town . And I can say that no one ever came close to doing what Stevie Ray did on guitar. He was simply the best bar none.
This is my first time to your channel. I stayed to watch you get baptized with an SRV Texas Flood. So much more to this man. He was a kind and humble soul who said that his talent was a gift from God that he worked hard to pay back. Paid in full, Stevie. Paid In Full.
Same! Watching SRV reactions, 40 yrs after i fell in love, is a true joy, right in the heart. A montage of reactions to this one performance would be a blast.
Stevie is the GOAT. Everything from that "El Mocambo" concert is incredible. As well as his stuff from "Austin City limits" and his playing with Jonny Copeland.
Totally agree. The live at El Mocambo is one of the best live performances ever recorded bar none. He was on fire as was the band and it captured an amazing musical moment in time. Man, I wish I could've been there in person. Brilliant.
El Mocambo man....fricken amazing. Spadina. My brother was a guitarist (he's passed now) but he LOVED Stevie and cried all day playing his guit when Stevie went home.
Rhythm and swing and the beautiful variation in the loudness and bending of notes e\he also loved jazz guitar and was a pretty mean at that in his later works you can also hear a lot of jazz influences
He is the G.O.A.T.. Even before playing behind his back he very rarely even looks at where his fingers are on the fret board. He knows every inch of that land. Your reaction was spot on. He was born in Dallas Texas and started playing night clubs when he was 14. His brother Jimmy Vaughn is also a great guitarist. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
I saw Stevie and Jimmie at KC in 87-88 area at Memorial Auditorium. Not looking at fingers is a lesson for every profession. Don't look... feel and do. Sight is a crutch
U JUST WITNESSED THE GREATEST MUSICAL PERFORMANCE IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC. SRV IS THE ONLY HUMAN BEING TO MAKE A GUITAR SMOKE A CIGARETTE AFTER HE FINISHES PLAYING IT.
this internet troll prolly stole the genius line "his guitar smoke a cigarette" from another troll that stole it from a troll doing amateur video maker "reaction videos" to other peoples amateur videos ...
I managed a music hall in the early 80s and had Stevie Ray twice. I’ve seen them all and he was the best ever. I took him some George Dickle and he said sit down here with me and have a drink. So I proceeded to pour us shots and he played that guitar unplugged for about 20 minutes. Man what a blessing. Humble nice guy and so talented that the music just flowed out of him. Tremendous concert!
I think that’s what makes what Stevie did even more impressive…. Like for the life of me I can’t understand how he’s able to do his massive bends, his runs, his whole playing as fast and precise as he does…… He had biceps in his fingers…
his fingers were so strong he had to use .12 gauge strings and put bass frets on that neck to keep from breaking them. nobody else could even play that guitar. that includes bb king and clapton. they just handed it back to him and shook their heads while stevie laughed at them... greatest blues guitarist of all time
SRV was an amazing gift for the short time we had his genius and virtuosity. He was channeling something beautiful and single-handedly revitalized blues/rock during a time when I can remember it was said that the genre was dead. RIP brother Stevie. You are missed.
It was almost dead, except in Austin and a couple other places where the old blues masters were welcomed, and younger white kids tried to keep it going. It was considered old folks’ music, like big band swing and early rock & roll.
The second I saw this video in my feed, I stopped everything I was doing to come watch. You got it exactly right, its like he's possessed by the guitar gods; I feel the same. Thank you for this one, and thanks to whomever recommended it! 🙏🏻 🔥
This guy can make the guitar scream so intensely you are holding onto your chair, then in the next moment he's playing so softly you can hear the amp humming in the background.
I saw him beginning in high school and he was just a kid himself playing in night clubs. He played at the Rome Inn in Austin all the time with his brother and Lou Ann Barton.
What's perhaps most impressive is that most guitarists would break their fingers trying to play that guitar. Stevie got that "thick" sound by using VERY thick strings. Watching him bend those notes, just mashing those strings across the neck with ease... is kind of amazing.
@@daveman_50he used a custom set with a G string that was much lighter. I use 11-54 but just recently learned that his G was much lighter than mine, even though the E strings were bigger.
SRV didn't plug into an amp - he plugged into his soul. Check out his duet with Johnny Copeland on "Tin Pan Alley" it's the meanest blues duet I've ever seen/heard. R.I.P. Goat
Thanks for picking Stevie. These videos are teaching music appreciation, a great service to the community. Last gig I played, no one had a cell phone out. That's the goal.
I love people's reactions to Stevie. Especially those in the music world who can play. I heard a quote from Jimmy Vaughan years ago about Stevie. "Ya know he couldn't read music at all, and for him it was just another chance to play on stage". This is just how good the man was. It was just another gig for him and this is what Everyone got, Everywhere he went.
Stevie Ray was the real deal, He came onto the music seem with a thunderous slap of bluesy rock that was so needed. He was and still is considered one of the best. Heaven has a hell of a band up there with Stevie Ray
SRV is the greatest Guitarist of all time. Hands down. Music flowed out of him. It was unrehearsed, straight from the hip. He was music, his hands and fingers. Man, Stevie was the Music.
Thank you brother. And this was a really fun reaction. I'm a lifetime musician myself, but I really enjoyed the dynamic of you being a classical guitar player and just glimpsing what this guy was all about. I was lucky enough to see him three times before he died in the helicopter crash. Down to earth, mind-blowing, self-effacing, humble, but a total badass. I'm so glad you shouted out the rest of the trio because his Double Trouble Man was not only fantastic at holding down the beat while he did all this crazy stuff, they were friends and they were super tight and you can hear it. I really loved the reaction.
SRV wasn't a guitarist, he was a channel in which music flowed freely, he just transposed the vibes he was receiving. What an amazing artist, after the show, it's his guitar that needed a cigarette!
I always struggle with Stevie and Hendrix as the goat...SRV mastered Jimmy's style but Jimmy was a pioneer,SRV had almost 10yrs more life to perfect his playing,what would we have seen of Jimmy with more years under his belt perfecting his craft??😒 BUT Stevie Ray's unrelenting flow pushes him over the top imo 🤙
@@fukkar4545 Jimmy would be 81 years old today if he had lived, today is his Birthday from what I understand, He was Awesome, I had his music among the music I listen to since my youth, when it was all coming out back in the day, and still listen too today. God Bless.
I used to think there was another guitarist playing in addition to the drums and base. It was only him! Unbelievable but when one watches him it is undeniable! He is fun to watch in every video he does! He loved Hendrix and does justice to him.
Your reaction is one of the better ones I've seen. Where English is not your first language, you described him perfectly! Powerful and passionate, possessed by the guitar god's! I love to see people appreciating SRV. He was in a class by himself. 👍👍
Texas Flood was written in 1958. It was around three minutes long. The rest is Stevie Ray’s improvisation. There is a whole concert on TH-cam of Stevie Ray playing various acoustic guitars called MTv Unplugged -Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I got to see him in person twice. Once as a surprise walk in at a bar in Austin, TX and once in concert in Dallas. All I can say is I feel special and lucky to have received a little part of his soul. That is how he played. As if he were allowing every ounce of his soul to pour from him through his music for those in his presence to take into themselves. It was almost spiritual gift he offered up. RIP my fellow Texan. We miss you so much. Sending love to you.
This man was simply a vessel through which this mastery flowed. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert a few times, once spending 3 hours with him in his last new year's eve concert before he unfortunately died. It was one of the BEST experiences of my life for certain!
It always seemed to me like he never really "played" the guitar but he just let the music inside him flow from his soul through his fingers to the strings and out the amps. RIP SRV
You have to be in awe of him. Every time I hear him he goes farther up on the list of the greatest guitar players I've heard. He may be the best. Gone way too soon as a lot of other great artists but his music will always live on because he is that guy.❤
El Mocambo man....fricken amazing. Spadina. My brother was a guitarist (he's passed now) but he LOVED Stevie and cried all day playing his guit when Stevie went home. Thanks for this reaction
I found my copy of the El Macombo DVD over a decade ago outside the garbage room on my floor in my apartment building. Somebody was moving out and apparently didn't want to keep it. It is in perfect condition. I'm never deserting Stevie Ray.
Stevie was, in my opinion, the greatest blues guitarist ever. He became friends with and learned from those he admired. He developed his own style and took it to a higher level than anyone before or since. He did one thing but did it better than anyone. His passing was a loss.
Hard to believe you hadn't heard of him, but very glad that you listened with an open mind. One of the all-time greats. He did a few songs that were jazz too. Dig deeper.
So true, a conduit for music. Just comes out. Tasty as all get out. Ty for reaction! He was one of a kind. I mean, my god, his phrasing is unbelievable. Similar to Knopfler in the phrasing respect. Never lost on where to go, he can make it do whatever he wants. 😂
Ive watched nearly a thousand reactions to this performance. Sometimes I just sit and cry as I watch the new viewers experience go from amazed to when he goes behind his back blown away. It’s maybe one of the most beautiful things to ever share! Thank you ❤

Awesome way to say it !
He TOOK THE RIDE!
Happens to us all
Happened to me 30 years ago and I'm still here...
40 years ago and yeah you never forget seein Stevie live !!!
Eric Clapton said "Stevie was a channel... he never ran out of ideas, never lost his place... it just flowed through him."
And that Stevie never got stuck, like Clapton explained how he would get stuck as others often did. I found that quote telling.
Well he got stuck on Eric's heli...
@@HS-hr5wp 😥
@@toddmueller aCertain3LetterAgency
Eric Clapton once said that when he first heard SRV (on the radio, when he was driving), he had to pull over to the side of the road and listen.
It still brings tears to my eyes knowing that we lost Stevie way too soon. He was blessed with a gift that most will never attain. RIP, Stevie.
Check out Ren Gill, from Wales via Brighton, UK.
@@NunYaO There are many good guitarists who have come, are still around, or have gone.... Gary Moore, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, etc. They all had their own styles.
Ren isn't doing anything that hasn't been done before, and better. He's actually somewhat boring and mediocre.
Yes having lived in Austin during his heyday, I got to see him play live many times .
I also got to see all the greats that came through town .
And I can say that no one ever came close to doing what Stevie Ray did on guitar.
He was simply the best bar none.
Amen!
No one has or will be able to fill his shoes. Truly one of a kind. SRV are Hendrix are the two that can’t be topped.

That man isnt playin that guitar. That guitar is playin him.
The most gifted most badass guitar player earth has ever known
They were one; the Guitar was an extension of himself

Raise your hand if you were saying “just wait!”
First time on your channel sir. This was terrific. Thank you.
Stevie’s sense of rhythm was just unbelievable, Every riff comes out perfectly
Every note, he makes you hear every note, and when he really likes the note he drags it out for 30 seconds while your spine tingles.
Rhythm and swing and the beautiful variation in the loudness and bending of notes e\he also loved jazz guitar and was a pretty mean at that in his later works you can also hear a lot of jazz influences
@@malcolmcooke2024 Texas Swing
Saw someone here on TH-cam say: After being played by Stevie Ray, the guitar needed a cigarette.
Thats also why he played an old guitar, what he did to it would otherwise have been illegal.
Most definitely the poor old guitar needed a break and a cigarette my friend
Lmao fr
Stevie Ray Vaughan is the GOAT of Blues guitarists. He could channel most every Blues guitarists, including Hendrix, BB King, and others.
I visited his statue in Austin, Texas recently and felt his spirit nearby. My twin boys took me. I am 82 and a big fan. 💯❤️🌹🙏
He is the G.O.A.T.. Even before playing behind his back he very rarely even looks at where his fingers are on the fret board. He knows every inch of that land.

I've never seen someone whose guitar, mind, body and soul all seemed one living thing.
Stevie is considered the Greatest Blues Guitar Player of all time. He also plays classical guitar, on a few of his recordings.
You're one of the few who knows that...
Playing an acoustic guitar is not the same as playing classical. What classical composers did he play?
@@stevenmeyer9674 Stevie played Roll Over With Beethoven. See? That's classical music. Right? HA, HA, HA....
th-cam.com/video/FNesXRao-AQ/w-d-xo.html
Classical guitar has nothing to do with what you might think are classical composers.
@@nancybrewer8494 And playing acoustic with metal stings. is not the same as playing a classical guitar with nylon strings, would you agree?

Right. Then you woke up.
I saw one of his last concerts a few days before the crash. So grateful for that experience.
i thought that was you at that show.
I was at Alpine Valley the show before his last. I found the cd recorded from the soundboard
Imagine how strong Stevie's fingers were to warp the strings the way he did, because he used the 2nd heaviest strings available.
It’s nuts, even tuned to E flat.
I think that’s what makes what Stevie did even more impressive…. Like for the life of me I can’t understand how he’s able to do his massive bends, his runs, his whole playing as fast and precise as he does…… He had biceps in his fingers…

A beast of a guitarist. No one can play like Stevie.
My absolute favorite guitarist!!! Number one!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Stevie Ray was more than capable of playing an acoustic guitar, he did a performance on MTV unplugged on six and 12 string guitar .
he used acoustic strings on his electric guitars ...
If you search TH-cam you can find a recording of him playing a beat up acoustic guitar for an interview in Europe.
Stevie makes it sound like a dream.
The second I saw this video in my feed, I stopped everything I was doing to come watch. You got it exactly right, its like he's possessed by the guitar gods; I feel the same. Thank you for this one, and thanks to whomever recommended it! 🙏🏻 🔥

Amen.
This guy can make the guitar scream so intensely you are holding onto your chair, then in the next moment he's playing so softly you can hear the amp humming in the background.
He didn’t play guitar, he lived guitar.
That smile on your face stayed there for the entire video. Guitarists know
I feel like a cat with 10 lives for having seen him in all his glory in about 1988. His brother's band opened up. Truly unforgettable night.
I saw him beginning in high school and he was just a kid himself playing in night clubs. He played at the Rome Inn in Austin all the time with his brother and Lou Ann Barton.
What's perhaps most impressive is that most guitarists would break their fingers trying to play that guitar. Stevie got that "thick" sound by using VERY thick strings. Watching him bend those notes, just mashing those strings across the neck with ease... is kind of amazing.
Yep. The high E string was .013, low E .060. Very difficult to play ANYTHING on such a heavy string set, let alone what Stevie is doing.
He spent his spare time piching gravel into dust with those damn fingers. My tips bleed just thinking about it
That was sort of callous. 😊 SRV is a phenomenon.

he is possessed by the heart and soul of southern rock passion frozen in time for all eternity.
He is at one with his guitar, like nobody I have ever seen or heard.
No separation between Stevie and the guitar. They are one.

Love watching a first timer! The smile gets bigger & bigger & bigger! Great reaction! Continue to enjoy!❤
Spine-tingling. He did things no one else did, he made a sound no one else made.
