A few words about Stevie: he's considered by many---myself included---as the greatest guitarist of all time. The band was named "Double Trouble" and had Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums. In '85 they added Reese Wynans on keyboards, and man, could they ever tear up a stage! This performance was in '83 at the El Mocambo club in Toronto, and to many---again myself included---it's considered the greatest guitar work ever captured on film. Not only was his technical prowess, feeling, and showmanship incredible, but he played with extremely heavy strings to achieve the sound he got. His hand and forearm strength, and overall physicality to play like he did was extraordinary. Stevie kicked a horrible addiction to cocaine and alcohol in late '86, and lived the last four years of his life clean, sober and happy before he was killed in a helicopter crash in '90 after his last gig. By the way, he was also a sweet and humble guy, despite the swagger he displayed on stage. To us folks here in Texas, he's extra special and beloved. There will never be another like him, that's for sure!

I agree with you and for me its his ability to ooze so much feeling out of not only his guitar but also out of his soul that separates him from guys like Jimi and even Gilmour although Gilmour is probably the most ethereal guitarist I have ever heard. Of course when you listen to SRV you can hear the influences of Jimi which sadly they never got to play together which probably would have caused an earthquake.

The Band is Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. BB KIng said "When I play, I play sort of like talking, you know, syllables, you say a sentence here, a sentence there and then, I’ve to stop and think for something else to keep my conversation going. But his didn’t seem to be that at all. It was fluent, he flowed when he played. He could get something going and it was like a song and it would just go on and on. Ideas continuosly flowed, I don’t have that. There is not a lot of people that I hear that have that but Stevie had it.” In the early morning of Monday, August 27, 1990, Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash near East Troy, Wisconsin, at age 35. He was one of the most influential blues guitarists of the 1980s, described by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as "the second coming of the blues".

It's crazy to think that he didn't even know how to read music and only knew basic music theory, and basically self-taught himself how to play guitar and made his own style of music through the radio and with lessons from his brother who did know how to play guitar he just kept practicing and years later eventually became one of the greatest blues guitarists to ever exist just from doing what he loved, I honestly think it's amazing and he's what got me into guitar in the first place.

He had gotten sober and was on his way to doing great things. SRV never read music and was completely self taught. His brother Jimmie Vaughan was one of his idols along with Hendrix, Albert King, and just about all of the old time blues artists. They admired him as well. He was a very humble human being. All of his live performances and great and he never played the same song the same way. Could I suggest. anything from the Austin City limits 1989 show, and "Life Without You" live from the Capital Theater. RIP Stevie 💔🎸🎶 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that he used the thickest guitar strings possible. Very few people could do that.

Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV) is rated as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in 1990 coming back from a gig where he had played with Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy. His band was Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. SRV was based in Texas and his muses were the 3 Kings (Albert, BB and Freddy) Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters etc. He has influenced nearly every guitarist since including Chris Stapleton and John Mayer just to name a couple. An all time great!!!
@mdanam Жыл бұрын
Congratulations. Now you entered the big leagues😊. Some background on Stevie; he is generally considered one of the best guitarists of all time not only by the public, but also by his peers. For example, on the last performance ever before he died he was playing with Eric Clapton and a whole bunch of other legendary guitarists, and at the end of the show, he and Eric did what was called "cutting heads", basically a note 4 Note guitar battle. And at the end of the evening Eric admitted Stevie won. He is the one who is credited with bringing back blues guitar in the era when everything was disco, heavy metal, and pop. People generally go back and forth between him and Jimi Hendrix as to who was the goat. Personally I can't decide because I don't think you would have gotten a Stevie Ray Vaughan without a Jimi Hendrix, Who was one of his biggest inspirations. Here's an interesting fact about how he was discovered and by whom. He was playing the Montreux Jazz Festival in France, where he caught the eye of David Bowie. David told his friend Jackson Browne who was also in attendance, how they had to go see this guy. Jackson Browne was so impressed he offered Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (yes that's the name of the band) that if they were ever in California they were welcome to use his Studio at no charge. Stevie was supposed to go on tour with David Bowie, but that conflicted with the time that Jackson Browne had available and they needed to record their first album. So even though it is Stevie Ray Vaughan who plays the guitar solo on Bowie's Let's Dance, he ended up not going on tour with David Bowie, and the rest is History. He was signed by the legendary John Hammond who also signed people like Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, and a whole host of other Legends. Hammond can be heard at the beginning of Stevie's live at Carnegie Hall concert album introducing him. We lost him way too young in a plane crash, just after he had cleaned up his act from battling drugs and alcohol, and getting his life right😢. (As you can tell, I am kind of a fan of Stevie's). There is no shortage of suggestions. His cover of Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child, his collaboration with Stevie Wonder on superstition, or my personal favorite when he and his all time inspiration, Albert King, teamed up to do Stevie's song "pride and joy". Albert was a pioneer of Blues guitar, one of the all-time greats, and you can see on his face the sheer Joy of knowing that he was passing that torch to Stevie. Have fun guys this is a very deep rabbit hole!
