Stevie , Jimmy , Roy Clark are just a few examples of musicians who actually mentally become 1 with their guitars. And how awesome to be lucky enough to see any of play live in concert.
I think Stevie went above and beyond guitar playing. His instrument was a part of him physically, an extension of his body. When he played, it's almost as if he caressing the strings, not pinching them. An amazing guitar player. Go watch the official video of this song (Pride and Joy), he expresses it perfectly. We lost him way too soon.
He was very human, just a guitar god. I heard of his death in 91 law school. There were people that didn’t know who he was. I was gobsmacked. This is pure Mississippi delta blues. I’ve performed this. It’s absolutely great! Enjoy!!
Best vocals highlighted "Ain't Gonna Give Up on Love" at the Capital Theatre....full package of perfect song, perfect vocals, faced melting solo. Straightforward, emotive, powerful.
I love his voice. And not only should every guitar player see this, so should every bass player and drummer see it as well. Excellent point about making difficult things seem easy. The more I played over the years, the more that became one of my primary goals. That and to also have fun at all times with it.
Thanks for reaction! This video looks like SRV at 1982 Montreux (Switzerland) Blues fest-before he became known. He looks young. The fact is, his reception at Montreux was kind of mixed. There were even some boos. However, there were some influentials like David Bowie and Jackson Browne there who LOVED the SRV sound. SRV and the band would soon come out with their first album and the rest is history. SRV and Double Trouble would make a triumphant/very well received return to Montreux a few years later.
Young blood, thank you for bringing the classics to the masses! May I suggest SRV at El Mocambo doing Testify. One of my very top favourite guitar performances by far!
SRV and Hendrix are my favourite guitarists. Hendrix is the expression of emotion and SRV the ...... I dunno... sheer perfection?... help me fill in the blank here, lol
So am I, I didn't know who he was the first time I saw him and I loved his music right away, that is something that usually doesn't happen with me. He is the best I have ever seen live, saw him twice, Volunteer Jam in Nashville, you should check that one out. again. I saw him in Memphis too, so fitting and perfect for the Blues.
This was Montreaux 1983 (it’s the first time he was recorded on video and he hadn’t even been signed or recorded anything!) and he was BOOED the entire performance…you hear the booing at the beginnings of the separate recordings. They were still traveling around in a milk truck then. 🤣SRV’s sloooooooow acceptance is fascinating, because stupid A&R men didn’t think he’d ‘fit’ the synthetic, light pop 1980’s hits. But, despite the booing (😳)…of course The Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland exposed him to other musicians including THE John Hammond’s son.
He used piano strings because he broke regular guitar strings too easily, he would still break the heavier gauge strings. He died in helicopter crash in 1990. RIP Stevie
You're absolutely right about SRV. He plays rhythm and he plays lead, at the same time but both parts are clean! Not like some others who tried to do the same. Listen to some live Jimmy Page and it's muddy. SRV is as good as there ever was. Page was maybe too ambitious and Hendrix well, he was an outlier. SRV was smokin
Stevie , Jimmy , Roy Clark are just a few examples of musicians who actually mentally become 1 with their guitars. And how awesome to be lucky enough to see any of play live in concert.
I was lucky enough to see him live...about 2 months before the crash. One of the best shows I have seen. RIP Stevie.
You are a Lucky man Rusty. Top of my list of Musicians I wish I had seen before.....
SRV was the real deal He bought back the blues & soul to guitar when it really needed it. His rhythm section was so tight & in the pocket.
I think Stevie went above and beyond guitar playing. His instrument was a part of him physically, an extension of his body.

Saw him twice, can only say, he didn't play guitar, he was his guitar. Just started watching you channel and love your reactions
Thanks so much Jim appreciate you man!! 😃
Yes! My favorite SRV song! Just the first few notes and I'm smiling.
He was very human, just a guitar god. I heard of his death in 91 law school. There were people that didn’t know who he was. I was gobsmacked. This is pure Mississippi delta blues. I’ve performed this. It’s absolutely great! Enjoy!!

Straightforward, emotive, powerful.
A big yes!
"Mary had a little Lamb" is one of my favorites! Great reaction Michael! Love from Texas!!!
I love his voice. And not only should every guitar player see this, so should every bass player and drummer see it as well.
Excellent point about making difficult things seem easy. The more I played over the years, the more that became one of my primary goals. That and to also have fun at all times with it.
Had the great good fortune to hear him live once..one of my all time favorite memories.
His voice is just as great as his guitar playing. They compliment each other perfectly.
Your right his singing voice is often overlooked ..and yeah it's perfect for the blues...
Hello Foxy, big job you have done, congratulation Michael, you deserve on this success. Hugs.:)
Thanks a million viola u are too awesome!!! 😁
Thanks for reaction!

Stevie Ray is truly an amazing guitar player.✌
Was, God rest his soul
The GOAT! No question! 😎🔥🔥🔥👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved him then, and love SRV now…Lost him too soon..❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
💙🎸🎸SRV🎸🎸💙
Check out SRV "Couldn't Stand the Weather!"
Good was showing out when he made SRV ❤
Love SRV
I highly suggest watching Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland and SRV.
Young blood, thank you for bringing the classics to the masses! May I suggest SRV at El Mocambo doing Testify. One of my very top favourite guitar performances by far!
Yes, love this....Actually I like Testify at the Capital Theatre 1985 a little better.
@@vomhausmannI"m a Toronto area resident, so the El Mocambo show has some special valiue;)
@@dominikr7794 Gotcha! That's so cool...Both versions are fantastic...
Seeing him in person was an honor.
This is one of my favorite SRV songs. You really need to see “Mary Had A Little Lamb” live in Austin.
SRV and Hendrix are my favourite guitarists. Hendrix is the expression of emotion and SRV the ...... I dunno... sheer perfection?... help me fill in the blank here, lol
John Meyer said many guitarist can play with the intensity of SRV but only for short periods before they would start cramping or going numb.
Not his exact words but you get the picture.
His train never stopped until he died. I am still upset about that.
So am I, I didn't know who he was the first time I saw him and I loved his music right away, that is something that usually doesn't happen with me. He is the best I have ever seen live, saw him twice, Volunteer Jam in Nashville, you should check that one out. again. I saw him in Memphis too, so fitting and perfect for the Blues.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats
Check out SRV and Jeff Healy doing “Little Sister”. It will BLOW you away!!!! Lucky enough to have seen them both live. ✌🏼♥️🎶
I got to see his last concert. One of the highlights of my life.
I'm a rock guitarist. I don't care for the blues. But I loved Stevie. He's been dead 4 awhile. It's a shame.
Speaking of master class check out "sound check" they woke him up to do a sound check, its a bit long but worth every minute......
I'm jealous of those who were able to see that guy live in concert that had to special
🎸🔥🔥🔥😎😁👍 nice man 🎶🎶🎉🎉😎
Please react to SRV doing "Love Struck Baby/Pride and Joy/Testify "at the Capitol Theatre 1985...The end of this medley is just amazing!
This was Montreaux 1983 (it’s the first time he was recorded on video and he hadn’t even been signed or recorded anything!) and he was BOOED the entire performance…you hear the booing at the beginnings of the separate recordings.

Most guitarist use 7 gauge, SRV used 13 gauge strings. Jim
Piano strings really? Lol maybe fencing wire if he couldn't find a piano 😉
@@markbraxton1289 if he was still alive that may be an option
Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen and SRV. That is the list for me.
Check out Look at little sister! He breaks a string and changes guitars never missing a beat, professional!!!!!!
Agree with everything you said ...
You should check out. Looking out the window. And change it
You don’t have to react to it but watch quickest guitar change. Doesn’t miss a note.
I love that one.
Hey Mayoman... try SRV sound check some next time...Thanks and cheers. Fuuuui.
You're absolutely right about SRV. He plays rhythm and he plays lead, at the same time but both parts are clean! Not like some others who tried to do the same.

Try The Sea Refuses No River; by Pete Townshend of the Who.
This isn't Country/Western, it's 12 bar Blues.
Texas Blues
Jimmy Vaughan is his brother in the red hat on bass 🎸
Sorry he plays guitar but not with SRV. My mistake JIMMIE VAUGHN
Tommy Shannon on bass. If you so to Stevie Ray Vaughan on TH-cam there is an official site with his amazingly music live videos
That’s pronounced “Montro” as in gateaux…. Now you’ve seen his warm up stuff, have a look at Third Stone From The Sun at El Mocambo.
That's Texas blues.
Listen to Mary had a Little Lamb by Stevie Ray Vaughan
What's with the mayo on the back of the sofa?
I think it's a mascot.
You’ve got to review Crossfire.
Very very young here
Check out SRV / Crossfire
The higher the gauge- the lighter the strings. That's why he bends so much and why they break a lot. My guess, anyway.
Looks older? That's when when he was really young.
he used 13 guage strings because he broke anything else
Ok, he’s awesome. But you have not reviewed MArcin, start with Kashmir, dr Dre or Paganini caprice 24…… ❤
