@OwenSchooleyGTАй бұрын
That exact thought comes to me sometimes, and I get sad. He was obviously insane when he was off his tits on booze, etc in the early years, but the more you watch stuff from '87 through to '90 when he was sober, you see just how much better he got over time. His phrasing was always good, but it just went to otherworldly heights, the more clear-headed and healthy he became.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWHPeniKbM6qgKssi=QQffouh8fI7LSEbv ^^ This bootleg of him doing Collins Shuffle from his last show at Alpine Valley, the night he got on that bloody helicopter, is a good example of what I'm trying to say, purely because of he played that song live for years.

@ericmoran1434 there's a lot tbh. Jimi Hendrix not living past 27. Richie Valens not living past 16 (Just thinking about the amount of Latino musicians he could've inspired had he lived depresses me). Selena Quintanilla not getting to fully enjoy her short but burgeoning career in music (Probably the most tragic music death I can think of). Never getting to see Tupac and Nas unite and possibly end the east vs west coast beef before B.I.G and Pac were murdered. Stevie died young but at least he lived past his 20's. Too many famous artists with the life he lived can't say the same. Sometimes it's just best to be thankful we had them and their art at all.

His string gauge by 1989 was 11 13 19 28 38 58 His strings were made by GHS strings. His tech Rene Martinez, finally convinced Stevie to go down to 11s from 13 gauge strings after Stevie kept splitting his fingertips open playing the 13s for hours every night.

SRV had his own personal channel to the bluesrock gods. He never ran out of notes to play. Saw him and DT twice, loud as f... and that sound of the 13's and Eb tuning and him beating the absolute shit out of the guitar. Unique and amazing. The awesome band, DT, gave him the perfect foundation to shine.I was stateside when he passed in '90 and everybody was in shock and all the stations played his tunes non stop. RIP SRV !
