It doesn’t get mentioned often, but Stevie’s talent was matched by true humility, kindness, and how he lived his life by the Golden Rule. Treating others fairly such as splitting his earnings evenly with his band members is just one example. Legend.

Stevie Ray Vaughan has an older brother named Jimmy Vaughan who has a band called The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Stevie Ray always said his brother was the biggest influence in his life and then all the Blues greats like B.B King, Buddy Guy, and of course his godfather Albert King. He also played behind his head, broken string, switched guitar in the middle of a solo and never missed a beat, one hand, no hands by moving the guitar up and down, tune his guitar while playing, adjust his AMP'S while playing one handed, his elbow and could play behind his back longer than anyone past or present. His career only span 7 years, his album Texas Flood came out in 1983 and he is in The Austin Music Hall Of Fame, Blues Hall Of Fame, he won 6 Grammys, 10 Austin Music Awards, 5 W.C.Handy Awards ,Entertainer Of The Year, Instermental Of The Year and in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame until August 27th 1990 when he was killed in a helicopter crash in Troy Wisconsin at the age of 35. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE ABSOLUTE GOAT. RIP TO A LEGEND.

SRV didn't play the guitar, he possessed it! He was mostly self taught and he couldn't read music.

Always watch SRV live if possible, every song of his fire.

Greg, SRV's soundcheck proves how great of a blues guitarist he is. He literally rolled out of bed, threw on a pimp coat and hat, walked onto the stage picking his nose, and shreds better than most guitarists do in studio or live. For a soundcheck! Nobody was supposed to hear it, but a roadie or somebody happened to catch it on film. Edit: Not only was B.B.King an inspiration for SRV, they have played together on stage. SRV has also performed with Jeff Healy, Johnny Copeland, and Albert King to name a few. He is on a very short list of greatest guitarists of all time.

Back in the early 70s I was visiting a friend in Austin, Texas and this friend took me to a somewhat rundown bar. You know, the kind with peanut shells on the floor and smoke in the air. There was a blues band playing. They were pretty good and we were enjoying the music and having a few drinks when a guy sauntered in and sat at the table next to us. As soon as the band finished the song they had been playing the lead spotted the guy next to us and said, "Hey Stevie why don't you come on up and jam a little with us?" That's when I knew I was in the presence of the greatest blues guitarist in the world. I wept when I learned of his tragic death (stupid helicopter). The world will never know another like him.

He has played with BB king. And Eric Clapton. And Johnny Copeland. And so many more. And every. Single. One of them. Everyone. They all say that he absolutely blew them out of the water. Eric fucking Clapton said he almost couldn't walk out on stage to perform after him, because he made him feel inadequate. BB said this about him, once. " I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray missed on both counts, but I've never noticed." He was the most humble, talented, and amazing live musician ever. Ever. Didn't even know how to read music. Taught himself, mostly, was a grade school drop out, and was horribly abused by his father. Stevie Ray was taken from us, far too soon, when he was just getting to his prime. Why? Cause God wanted guitar lessons, I guess.

We have been missing him intensely since 1990 when God brought him back home but his legacy, love, music, and inspiration still goes on stronger every year. Reactors like yourself discover him and turn him onto other people. Always do live performances, watching him totally immersed in the musical moment is where a lot of magic lies🌟✨⭐️.

Best blues guitar performance ever recorded - IMO Youve got a LOT more SRV ahead of you and I envy you the joy of first time discovery as you take the journey. He also played with the blues legends, BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, many others as well like Eric Clapton etc. its a very long list - if you go back and listen to BB King (I) think Stevies playing is way better, partly because BB King said this of himself compared to SRV -- "I play in sentences, Stevie plays in paragraphs"--lol I saw Stevie play live twice back in the day, I still have the ticket stubs and ill never forget it, Stevie did things with his guitar no other blues player had done -- but Stevie ALWAYS showed mad respect to all the blues legends that came before him and he never tried to upstage them when they played together.
