Absolutely loving this series, it's like Rick Beato's "What Makes This Song Great" but specifically for guitarists, long may it continue 😎 We didn't have many SRV look-a-likes up in Manchester, we had all of the suit-wearers instead. Matalan's business wear section was doing a roaring trade in the 90's 😂
Thank you David, I'm glad you're enjoying it..... And I'll take it as a great compliment comparing it Ricks mega channel... If I have so much as a quarter of his following I'd consider that a huge success... 😉 Funny about the Matalan suit wearers.... Brilliant.. Thanks for watching mate.
SRV one of my all time favs. R. Paradise is iconic. I love the conversational record with great Albert King 'In Session' this is my all time fav. It speaks so much about own idols and relationship between musicians. I'm not a 'bluesy' guy, but this is abs great!!! I can imagine hearing the big fat amps standing three doors behind the producer and this recording is so ful of breath-bluesy-power-tone.
This definitely reminds me of a few things. 1. I've noticed as a musician gets technically better, they get less comfortable with silence. 2. th-cam.com/video/QwXAqIaUahI/w-d-xo.html at 13:15 Bill Evans explains that musicians should be playing honestly and simply. I explain to my students to play what goes WITH the music, NOT with their ego. Alas, I also, sometimes, don't pay attention to my own advice. A great lesson on the other side of SRV!
Mate this documentary is incredible... I've only just dipped into it but I'll be watching the whole thing... Thank you for sharing with wonderful deep, considered and profound conversation of a true great of music... Awesome man.... I'm glad you enjoyed this one too. ;-) Cheers for now
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Your playing inspires me to no end! If that interview can repay the favor in any way, it brings joy to my heart! Keep rockin', bro!
Great to see a lesson that is more about listening than slavish note choices! Also, really interesting to see you tuned in 4ths - do you switch between the two or are you moving toward tuning in 4ths on more guitars? I know Tom Quayle plays 4ths tuning, but he now says he no longer feels comfortable in standard tuning .
Hi Edward, thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the Topic of todays video.... I've been playing in 4ths now for about 12 or more years... And in that time I too have chosen to never play in Standard, In the other lessons I have decided to use Standard to appeal to most players as to not put them off from the videos... My belief is that the tunings are so similar it's not that difficult to learn from either way. Especially lessons like this when the concepts are universal. Wow this became a long comment.. 😂 Thanks for watching mate. 🙏🎸
blues are a lot like the English language. reasonably easy to pick up, expressive, and f-in everywhere man hahaha. when that rover gets far enough on mars, bet money it finds a blues band :)
Excellent job... I rem trying to nail SRV songs years ago too.... Lenny and Rivierra paradise are awesome tracks.... You nailed that essance in everyway,,,lovely tone... your talent is immense and versatilty in bucket loads .... You should be world famous ....
Hey Al, thank you very much... I'm glad you appreciated what I tried to do on this series, showing all the various side of the guitar and music.... And Lenny and Riviera Paradise are lovely examples of Stevie's playing in my humble opinion. As far as being world famous, that would be nice but I'll just keep doing my thing in the hope that it's brings joy to some people and see how it goes... I still consider my self extremely lucky to have earned a living travelling the world playing guitar thus far... Anyway mate take care and hope all's good with you. 👍😎🎸
SRV is the reason I started playing guitar back when I was around 12 years old, he affected me immensely, his feel, his hard core aggressive approach just chilled me to the bone. I was hooked from the first time I heard Scuttle Buttin. Still to this day, even though I have learned to play most of his stuff. I listen to him purely for pleasure. His guitaring is timeless a spiritual thing of angelic beauty. It's hard to put into words but he was very unique and special. A definite gift from above.
I went to see Joe Satriani play his Surfing With The Alien live outside at a Pier in New York. Took my girlfriend at that time, Joe came out playing just like he sounds on record. He's playing beyond my understanding but, I loved what he could do with a guitar in his hand. He finished his set and we got ready to leave because she wasn't feeling it but, asked was there someone coming out next. I said, "some guy i heard his name some where, i think he plays blues." He walks out, hits his first note. She jumps up out of her seat. Points at him, looks at me and says. "now i love this guy!" I was hooked too!! He just played raw straight from heart. He's energy went out off his fingers, hit those strings, then your ears and soul........... He blessed us all with the time he spent here with us. With his Angel wings, hat and six strings..........SRV. So, this would be why i liked your playing some 11 plus years ago. : ) Great job and you so appreciated AH.
Hey mate, that's a cool story thanks for sharing.... it's also great that your and your girlfriend could share in that moment and musical taste.... love it... All the best to you. 👍🎸🙏
Hi Alex hope your well , great video mate , I’m still hooked on the GT001 lol . The creative patches you made , do you use them primarily or did you make your own on the unit ? all the best 🎸🎸
Hey Mate, I'm glad you're enjoying the Unit... I made around 10-15 of the Factory presets and then the 10 Artist patches.... Thanks for watching mate. All the best 👍🎸🤘
this cat is more than a clone, Alex seems to absorb the soul and essence of these players and really truly emits the most amazing recreations, even the tone is perfection. Just wondrous and amazing to listen to. I miss SRV, always have. Alex captures him here so damn well. Perfectly.
@@asb3pe Thank you so much mate, that's all I'm ever trying to do really, captured the essence of these guys in what ever way I can.. I'm glad you think I've managed to do so.... Thanks for watching mate. All the best 👍
Thank you so much mate I love his style so much, And yes I have a couple of pairs of cool cowboy boots. I love them, I'd also love to come back to Texas one day I've only been once. All the very best and thank you for watching 👍🎸🙏
I paid for another reaction video of you. Ths time was a To Cry From Joy performance. You can type fish out of water then your name in the youtube search bar. The reaction series is called Fish Out of Water.
Oh Alex you are soooooo right why not record an album of you playing with your looper for an hour as in the example oh my god that would be epic , thanks for this wow ,yes that is Stevie at his best ,you really get it. well i'm gonna play this several times. Thanks again
Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, we recorded some original blues songs. As fellow music fans, we'd love if you'd take a listen. It's on our channel. Don't be too tough on us :)
Lenny is the tune and my all time SRV favorite, I wasn't into SRV much until I heard that song. After that I got into the rest of his catalogue and his blues work. Hats off to you Alex for another phenomenal episode.
THank you Philip... Yeah Lenny, such a great tune... Glad I'm not the only one to appreciate this side of his playing. I'm pleased you enjoyed this one too. All the best 👍
Do Colin Gibb next. He's been my favourite guitar player since the 1970s. 2022 I think this is the best solo ever. Can you play it? th-cam.com/video/IHlmtWpFMd8/w-d-xo.html
Growing up in Texas in the 1980s, I was more influenced by Van Halen and Randy Rhoads. Once I spent a Christmas vacation in Mexico and one guitar player I met there really admired SRV's playing. Once Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top said they played the blues but didn't sing the blues. SRV was really influenced by Hendrix, and Hendrix himself used some jazz chords, most famously that one in Purple Haze. 5/7 4/6 3/7 2/8, an E something or the other. One SRV song I really liked hearing on the radio was The Sky is Crying. Those bends! He had to have used heavy strings to get that tone.
My friend, never regret looking funny while making music. Being an outlet for such great, pure music is ALL. Gary Moore didn't care; you oughtn't care. Cheers
I'm glad to hear it mate... My finger is still a little numb but at least I can still play without too much hindrance, thankfully... Thanks for watching. 👍
learnt to play by trying to copy SRV. Difficult to get away with the hat in the UK. I wanted to though. I think I wore out my VHS copy of live at the el mocambo.
Hey Bob, that's cool. Yeah I know what you mean about the Hat in UK... I still think it's cool though.... El Mocamco... So good... Thanks for watching mate. 👍
Same here, loved the fiery blues he is famous for but Riviera Paradise was just so impactful! Really unique and just so passionate, can't help but to resonate with you.
please i want ask out of the box..... i please i want to buy effect pedal would you recommend GT BOSS 100 as a good product im asking because im choosing to buy
It's very hard for me to just simply recommend to you like this but I will say the GT-100 is a solid piece of equipment, very versatile and good value for money. I'm sure it'll serve you well should you decide to buy it. All the best 👍
Thank you very much mate... I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's a slightly longer version you could check out here. th-cam.com/video/Zw--6AtzHwI/w-d-xo.html All the best 👍
Hi Alex. Stevie Ray is a great interpreter of the blues. I also love it very much when you play blues and jazz, because you are very expressive and inspired. Thanks for the video, I loved it. I wish you the best and have a good weekend
Thank you very much Edwin, much appreciated.. What a beautiful track, and wonderful that he wrote it for his wife. Thanks for sharing & all the best . ;-) 👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic the story goes he wanted a guitar but couldnt afford it, his wife bought it for him. that very night in the bathroom stevie wrote lenny with that very guitar. beautiful
Amazing as always! I'm doing a countdown to friday during the week to watch this series! Best guitar content on youtube actually! By the way, there's a guitar player called Philip Sayce that play this blues vibe influenced by SRV and Hendrix! What did you use to get this amazing tone? Hugs from Brazil!
Thank you Bruno...It's so good to know you're enjoying these videos, I'm pleased to hear it. I just checked out Philip Sayce, yeah man he's great. Very authentic indeed. To get this tone I use the Laney Lionheart head into the waza tube amp Expander then into an Avalon VT73 7SP....Thanks for watching man... All the best ;-)
These little snippet lessons are incredible. Keep up the good work !! I remember having a mini guitar lesson with yourself when you came to visit Kingsfield school in Bristol over a decade ago. You are still as inspiring as you were back then to this day !!
Hey Alex, I'm your 824th view and again your great skill set just blows me away! I'm sure that if Stevie was still alive he would know who you are! He probably would be a little jealous to tell the truth! You continually keep amazing all of us with your extensive skills! You mark on the guitar world is huge and up and coming players will remember you for decades, that's certain! I'm your 824th view today and glad it's Friday again! You are the Best for sharing with all of us your time and talents! Thank-you 100 times over! Also I hope you had a chance to view my Fuzion tracks! They are products of your inspiration on me and I thank-you for that also Alex. Be safe , take care and we'll see you next Friday! As always Cheers🍻 Dana
SRV catapulted the blues to a new level! His playing and music turned people on to that scene that would've most likely never listened to anything but rock. Losing him was a tragedy, but he left us with so much! Thanks for this snippet into his playing!
You are Special, man! Love to hear from you more. Lucky to be a subscriber. Thank you dear for your awesome guitar playing and teaching. You are a guitar lover, truly are. Love from Bangladesh. Take care.
Love your playing at the end Alex. I think those kind of extended jazzy chords with strong dynamic bluesy playing often sound soulful smooth jazz to me. Nice.
Hey Alex.Hope you're doing well with this pandemic.The fingers seemed to have recovered damn well.Love the concept of these videos.Definetely great choice of players and great renditions on your part.Keep on killing it man, love your playing, so versatile ,soulful and intelligent.Cheers.John.
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Gary Moore is so underrated in these discussions. He was just as good but more versatile. Strangely in the same way you are with the myriad of styles you can play proficiently.
Yes thank you mate.... I found out right after I recorded the video. 😂 I appreciate you letting me know though... I never knew for years... ;-) All the best
Absolutely he definitely had that effect on so many in Australia, fair to say world wide. Such an amazing exponent of playing with emotion and feel. BTW hat's off to you, you to no matter what style you're playing it's always with such feel and emotion. Thank you for sharing, all the best
Thanks so much Nick, much appreciated... Good to know his reach was also felt down under.... what a legend. Thanks for watching mate and all the best 👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic You know me Alex, I like the jazzy stuff, and his interpretation is so cool. And of course you have the classic Kenny Burrell version which is a masterpiece :-)

2022 I think this is the best solo ever. Can you play it?

Dont' forget about Stang's Swang if you want Jazzy SRV. It's a great listen to get to know the musical ability of Stevie.
Oh yeah man that's a classic too... I even wrote a track similar to that a few years back... So many great tracks by Stevie. Thanks for watching. 👍

I guess you forgot about Gary Moore?
Oh not at all mate there are many more episodes planned... I just haven't got to him yet.. but I will. ;-) cheers for watching. 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Gary Moore is so underrated in these discussions. He was just as good but more versatile. Strangely in the same way you are with the myriad of styles you can play proficiently.
Lenny

Probably the player who has the most blues influence in my playing! Favourite guitar of all time, strat with Texas specials!
Yeah man, pretty much the same here.... Have a good one mate. 👍
Absolutely he definitely had that effect on so many in Australia, fair to say world wide. Such an amazing exponent of playing with emotion and feel.
