      @@artjom9722 Stevie has a feel that's just his own, and a lot of his tone comes from his fingers and that heavy gauge piano wire he strung on his guitar. Not too many can bend like that on such heavy strings. There are numerous guitarists out there in the fusion realm who have a greater knowledge of theory than Zakk. Check out most of the Steely Dan guitarists for a taste.

      That's why he took a bow at the end as he was grinning. Whenever he played behind his back, he would snap strings due to his immense finger strength. He played 12 gauge strings on his guitars, and this particular guitar with the SRV on the face had newer frets put on, the thicker ones originally from a bass. That is how he got that really hard string bends and those notes.
      SRV is an absolute legend, as I listened to him from both his Austin City Limits concerts. Proposed to my wife after showing her the VHS Copy I had after the last song Riviera Paradise, which will leave you speechless.

    Original Stevie song---- Riviera Paradise, a soulful instrumental. After a full day of recording material for the album, Stevie asked his producer to leave the tape running and to turn down the lights. All alone, he recorded the guitar track on his Fender Strat. Double Trouble added the backing later, including an organ foundation from Reese Wynans.

      I so agree. Their collaboration of 'Look at Little Sister' was amazing, somewhere between astronomical and wow. Jeff did many songs that he just killed on, i.e. 'Hoochie Coochie Man' , 'See The Light' (with Dr. John) Sunday Night TV Show 1988. He was 41 when he passed away March 2, 2008. I think he and SRV were 2 musical phenoms, best of the best.

    As a teenager, the great guitarists then were of course Jimi Hendrix as well as the likes of Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers, Alvin Lee of Ten Years After(sorely underrated), Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, etc....I was a young adult in my 20's when guys like Stevie Ray and Eddie Van Halen came along, and I was also listening to a lot of Ted Nugent's live stuff on Double Live Gonzo(another brilliant live picker), but I knew the first time I ever heard any Stevie Ray Vaughan that I was listening to something very different and very special. It was unheard of to see a guitarists with Stevie Ray's ability so heavily influenced by the great blues legends (Albert King, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, etc., and by Jimi Hendrix too. I've jammed Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan both for hours at a time over the years and have personally seen and heard friends of mine almost come to blows over debating which of the two was the better guitarists? My personal take on that subject is this............Jimi Hendrix came along at a time when about anything that had been done on an electric guitar to that point with rock, Jimi said, "that ain't shit, watch this," but he would sadly leave us far too soon. Having lived nearly 20 years longer than Hendrix did, Stevie Ray Vaughan with all of that talent came along and made versions of Hendrix's Voodoo Chile' & Little Wing his own, and it was as if he was saying to Jimi, "don't worry man, I got your back. You left us far too soon, but I'm gonna take your songs on to an even further rock from the sun than you got the chance to take them yourself", and I feel like that's exactly what Stevie did. But we sadly lost him far too soon also in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin all those years ago now. My opinion is that Jimi Hendrix was and will forever remain in my mind a legend, but Stevie Ray Vaughan was an absolute freak of nature that the likes of may never be seen again. Eric Clapton once said that he often would have to leave the stage after jamming just a couple of songs with Stevie because he felt so intimidated by his playing that it made him nervous he wouldn't pick up the guitar again. That's a mouthful coming from one of rock's all-time most versatile guitarists who's played with some of rock's greatest bands. We also sadly lost a young virtuoso guitarist in Duane Allman a month shy of his 25th birthday back in 1971 when he was killed in a motorcycle wreck, and in very recent years we've had to morn the passing of two other rock guitar legends in Alvin Lee who died in 2013 and Johnny Winter who died in 2014.

    Stevie was slipping into the clubs and playing with Albert King. Albert King was his godfather. “I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed”. B.B. King

    Jimmy invented Stevie perfected .Stevie Ray Vaughan was just a special musician you have to appreciate them because they don't come around very often and in my humble opinion most of them have already passed away. I too and the Pink Floyd fan Gilmour will always be my favorite guitarist. But he's not the best guitarist. There's just too many of them to pick a best. Stevie Ray Vaughan is my second-favorite but for what he does I think he's the best.

    One thing to know about the blues, is that it was very common for blues musicians to perform and record cover songs. The tradition goes back to its earliest times, when musicians started out putting old plantation and prison work songs to music, and even Leadbelly, legendary as he was, wrote very few of his own songs. Some of the great blues standards have been covered so many times, that it's impossible to tell who wrote them, and many of the songs even pre-date the advent of blues as a genre. An awesome example of this phenomenon is the Eric Clapton album "From The Cradle," which is not only a collection of blues standards, but was even recorded in the old style of having the entire band in the studio, playing together, rather than multi-track recording/mixing. Definitely worth a listen.
    But if you want to get suggestions for original SRV content, you'll get a phone book-sized list thrown at you, with great hits like "Pride and Joy," "Cold Shot," "Crossfire," "Couldn't Stand The Weather," "Look At Little Sister," "Mary Had A Little Lamb," "The Sky Is Crying," and my personal favorite, "Life By The Drop." (Full disclosure: That last song is my favorite, not because it's another demonstration of his virtuosity, but because it shows that he was incredibly talented, even when it was just him and a 12-string.)
    Anyway, I'm glad you discovered Stevie Ray, and I hope his music gives you the experiences that it's given me, lo, these many years.

    Great reaction. SRV is definitely one of the greatest. If you want to hear an original song which he wrote himself, check out either “Lenny “from live at the El Mocambo or “Riviera Paradise “from live in Austin Texas. I highly recommend watching his live performances instead of studio versions. I am looking forward to seeing Sistah’s reaction to “Texas Flood” . The live performance of it, also recorded at the El Mocambo, is not to be missed. Thanks for brightening my day and keep on rockin’!

    If you want a SRV original, please... please watch SRV play "Lenny" (specifically the Live at El Mocambo version). This was the first video of Stevie that I watched, and it was a legitimate spiritual experience for me. I had to know more about him. Years later, I still crave that feeling I got when I watched it for the first time. Stevie wrote the song on the edge of his bed for his then wife, who's name was Lenny. She had mustered some money between her and some of their friends to buy him a guitar he wanted. He is playing that same guitar in the video. You can feel the emotional roller coaster he takes you on with this song. It is a guitar instrumental that needs no human words at all. It's an absolute masterpiece.

    SRV playing Lenny live at El Mocambo is one of the most moving experiences you will ever have. And it’s an original piece written by Stevie for his wife at the time. Please listen to it even if you don’t do a reaction to it. You will not be disappointed I promise.

    Don't forget, Hendrix played behind his back, behind his head, with his teeth etc. too. But this has been going on for a long time. If you Google T-Bone Walker, and click on the "Images" tab, and scroll down, you'll see a picture of Walker doing the splits while playing the guitar behind his head. I first saw it in a guitar magazine where he said that all of these guitarists used to busk on the street corners, and they would try to draw the biggest crowds by having the most impressive tricks. Unfortunately, due to the Hendrix family and copyright problems, there isn't a lot of good Hendrix on TH-cam. Probably the best is a 2min. b+w clip of part of his "Machine Gun" solo at the Fillmore East 1969, and the section of Woodstock from "Purple Haze" till the end. I think Hendrix was a huge influence on Stevie growing up, and that Stevie must have spent countless hours playing along with Hendrix records. Maybe that's how he was competing with his brother. It's got to be the reason that he tuned his guitar down half a step, the same as Hendrix. Without doing that, trying to play along with a song that involved open strings would be a nightmare. Also, don't forget, Stevie was just 13yrs. old when Hendrix's music came out. Stevie learned the originals and turned them into vehicles for soloing, but many of these solos incorporated Hendrix's original licks. I bet Stevie was paying tribute to Hendrix more than thinking he was competing with him. But after copying Hendrix licks, how could he use them in other songs. This is where using the influences from Clapton, Buddy Guy, Lonnie Mack, and some of Albert King's signature licks rounded out his style. I think S.R.V. incorporated all of these influences into a unique and very aggressive style of his own, but they are not hard to pick out. Especially Albert King. Tuning his guitar down also helped him copy Albert's technique of playing melodies by varying the degrees within a 2 fret or more bend, and doing it on 2 strings simultaneously. The first time I heard S.R.V. was when they played something from David Bowie's "Let's Dance" album on the radio. I thought "How did Bowie get Albert King to play on his album". It's no wonder Albert liked Stevie - he was playing what Albert liked hearing - his own licks. Just watch the whole of that "In Session" TV program you showed a clip of. The early Clapton influence is shown by S.R.V. covering a song from the influential John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton album on a 1980 radio broadcast (released as "In The Beginning"). When he toured with Jeff Beck, they jammed on "Jeff's Boogie", so like any guitarist, he learned a variety of music. For a more accurate comparison, why not play your wife the album track of "Voodoo Chile.." She might recognize some of the licks that Stevie played. (Not on camera, just for education) Why not the whole album ? Of course listening to Hendrix albums now you don't get to hear how revolutionary he was in his time. I don't think Stevie would agree with all of these people who say Stevie is the greatest, and Hendrix sucks. I think they were just born too late to put it in the proper context. The music came out of Hendrix's head. That has to be worth something. Imagine a modern orchestra doing an updated version of Beethoven's 5th and then saying "Our version is better- check out the guitar solo we added"

    Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of the few guitarists that knew where every single note was on a guitar and if he never hit one wrong he had the pure strength to bend the string to the note he wanted . The behind the back trick was a Stevie Ray Vaughan staple. He used it quite a bit when he would break a string, there is a video of him playing “look at little sister” where he breaks a string and transitions to playing behind his back to help facilitate a guitar switch, which happens mid song. He never lost his composure and the only way you could tell what happened was a single sour note as the string snapped much like at the end of this video, he simply switched the string he was playing on and kept going. He was truly a one of a kind showman.

    You didn't mention Stevie playing for Bowie on the smash hit album Let's Dance in 82. That is when double trouble went world wide after that.

    His name is Clifford Antone. The name of the club is Antone's and since Clifford's death the new owners have been struggling to keep the club open and it will ultimately close soon due to the big Financial boom in Austin. Austin is becoming nothing but skyscrapers in big corporations and they're pushing all the mom and pops out. Property taxes as well as business tax has gone up tremendously and the small clubs and restaurants can't afford to pay the rant much less property taxes which is making them broke so they are one by one closing in this once beautiful city that Stevie Ray Vaughan brought to life. It's sad that Stevie and Clifford are gone. They made Austin what it once was.

    Hello again guys! When I was in my late teens I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert on the floating stage in Tulsa Oklahoma. It was a sublime experience that I will always cherish. Interestingly; I saw Stevie about three months before his death in Alaska; which is the state that I moved to in 1993 and still call my home.
    P.S. You guys have delightful personalities.

    Just came across your channel as I was soaking up more of Stevie Ray, who is one of my all time favorites, and who I consider to be the greatest guitarist of all time. Period. In fact, I lived no more than 20 miles from where he was killed. And I cried like a baby. I wanted to tell you that I was particularly impressed by your knowledge of Stevie's life adventure, Wolfkain. Thank you for that. Very impressed.

    "Texas Flood" from the 1989 Bush inauguration is an absolute MUST SEE.
    "Tightrope" (written by Stevie) and "Cold Shot" from the 1989 Austin City Limits show. Absolutely amazing guitar work on both songs.
    Better yet, do all three songs in one review! 😉
    Love your SRV reviews! Keep them coming!

    Did you ever tell her about how SRV plays a heavy gauge (.039 or .058 or .074) string on his guitars that pretty much nobody on this earth before, now, or ever could manipulate the way SRV did?
    The way he bent those heavy strings was something he’s known for and of course always seemingly broke one of them during his shows.
    A saying developed that his strings were “as thick as barbed wire”.
    Love your style Wolfkain in all your videos. I enjoy the content and conversation you bring to the videos. HLS just feels music like nobody else. True music fans and just really glad I found this channel.
    RIP SRV - a Texas Legend and IMO the best guitar player of any time an any genre.

    I think you’d like Tightrope, Crossfire-heavy bluesy rock great pounding beat with a lot of vocals. Ain’t gone n give up on love is amazing heart tugging soul music with vocals and Life without you will really get the lovely lady in tears especially since he gives a special little speech that is different with every performance-suggest the one from New Orleans Jazz Fest I think 1988-my home Y’all are so cute. This was a good history lesson Thanks
