[@nysus3530]

This song has a special place in my heart. My family, from New Orleans, we do our morning and crying at the start of a funeral, at the end, we sing and dance and eat. When my mother passed, a few hours before the service, we heard this street performer playing on the corner. 18th Street Red, was his name. Rocking out on a beat up guitar, the man took the first money someone gave him and bought a can of tuna fish and a small loaf of bread. Split the loaf and filled it with the tuna, then tore it in half and gave half to his dog. My aunt and I asked if he knew Texas Flood, he did. Asked if he would play it for us during the service for $50 and all the food he could eat and take with him from the gathering after. The parlor wouldn't let us bring him in, so my brother and I barred and locked the doors as he played. He was so good my stone-faced step father broke down before he even started singing. The parlor workers banging on the doors. He brought down the house. Tried to give us our money back at the gathering. Everyone pitched in to give him what we had, his dog was shocked by the food given and love shown. He hung out with us for the next 3 hours. Damn, I love Texas Flood...

[@teresalewis-hutson937]

[@Bluesy1990]

OMG SHAQ YES FINALLY PLEASE, PLEASE DO "VOODOO CHILE" EITHER NASHVILLE 1987 OR AUSTIN CITY LIMITS 1989 Edit: Thanks so much for checking Stevie out, man. Stevie was one of the most humble guitarists this world has seen. And he knew more than just blues. Check out "Riviera Paradise" as well. Preferably at the Austin City Limits 1989 show, but KZbin took it down forever ago for some reason. Stevie was deep, deep into drugs and alcohol by 1986, and cleaned up after a near death experience. He composed the song as a "Thank you" prayer for coming out alive. It's probably one of the most beautiful pieces of guitar work I've heard. His story helped me through my own demons, and his 1989 album "In Step" (named after the AA program,) is 100% the reason why I've been playing guitar for the last 8 years.

[@csi2448]

The one from ACL 89 is my favorite. His tone, the use of the octavia and fuzz face pedals just bring the performance to another level!

Bluesy1990 beautiful words, on your edit paragraph. It's exactly why I recommended Shaq to do Life Without You from Nashville in 1987. Stevie's speech during that will put you in your feelings. Stevie is my idol and seeing what he overcame in life, is really really inspiring! Stevie actually had Riviera Paradise composed while he was on drugs. He performs it during an interview while in Japan during 1985, using a Flying V. And he then mashes it up with Lenny during the Tokyo performance during the same leg of the tour. I don't know if Shaq would be able to react to a video on a different website, but Riviera Paradise from ACL is on Vimeo

[@Bluesy1990]

[@KC-zb7fo]

GasserGlass cool that you knew that. You ever see them back in the day when the t-birds would open for Stevie. Saw him few years ago with Dylan. Dylan should have backed him up. Great show little meet and great after his set. He is so humble wouldn’t it be great if t-birds got back together.

[@CopperValentine]

I think that was the guy who was supposed to be on the helicopter. Stevie took his place. :0(

[@KC-zb7fo]

CopperValentine yeah Clapton was supposed to be on it and you are right Clapton let him take his place

SRV was one of the G.G.O.A.T. He is greatly missed. He didn't need all this "computerized" crap to sell what he could do. Mad respect for SRV. Listen to Crossfire, Couldn't Stand the Weather, or Telephone Song which I'm remembering correctly was one of his last or the last release he had. Got a lot of radio time with that song. I instantly fell in love with that song.

[@zeinhikal8737]

Telephone song I believe released on a collab he did with his brother which wasn’t released until after he passed if I recall

A lot of blues revolves around a lot of the same licks, riffs and scales. That can lead to it sounding similar, but it's more about the emotion put behind the notes that makes the Blues

[@phoenixmichaels]

@Cian Nolan To quote you: "A lot of blues revolves around a lot of the same licks, riffs and scales. That can lead to it sounding similar, but it's more about the emotion put behind the notes that makes the Blues" That's the narrative. But you were right to begin with: A lot of blues revolves around a lot of the same licks, riffs and scales. They sound the same because they ARE, actually, the same. There IS life beyond the pentatonic.

[@JorgeMartinez1987]

@@phoenixmichaels the funny thing is most who bash blues guitar players and use of pentatonic scales are ALWAYS the ones who can NEVER keep up on a "oh so simple" 12 bar blues progression. They always just say "blues aren't my thing" then proceed to play some zeppelin riff or some kirk hammett solo ironically. I'm sorry but if you can't play blues you just simply can't play the guitar.

[@phoenixmichaels]

@@JorgeMartinez1987 In 63 years I have never found that to be the case ONCE. Blues are the "golden books" of guitar playing... a child's first lessons. And "Zeppelin riffs" and most of Hammett's playing are also examples of mostly pentatonic playing. I don't think they serve as examples of anything otherwise. But back to your comment: everyone I knew coming up learned blues FIRST. Clapton. Hendrix. Hooker. B.B. And the Texas blues crowd, including guys like Johnny Winter. Most became proficient in blues and stopped progressing. Blues are an absolute necessary start, but can be a trap for guitarists. Playing modally is the next step... and most don't take it. Mind you, you STILL have your blues skills if you DO. To quote you: "I'm sorry but if you can't play blues you just simply can't play the guitar." Well, most proficient American guitarists CAN. However, this is still a simple statement of preference, and not reality. Plenty of European classical guitar masters have come and gone with no exposure to blues. They played the guitar greatly. Blues is where one should START if they wish to be a pop guitarist. But it isn't required to BE a guitarist.

[@jailbreak434]

Okay. Now you have GOT to watch Stevie play Voodoo Chile. It will blow your mind.

[@mikekirby9310]

That's no shit! Live at Austin City Limits!! I was blessed to see SRV 6 times live. He was an incredible showman every time.

[@hannahsummers7956]

he should do the original though

[@mstewart109]

It sure did mine. I.think.it is the best one by SRV

He STRAIGHT UP STOLE that song from Hendrix. Improved it, made it his own. It belongs to him now.

Pride & Joy is my absolute SRV song - you will love how tough he is with those lyrics, too.

[@mstewart109]

I think Vodoo Child is my favorite!

[@mono.isgtds]

It’s worth knowing he used 13 gauge strings and a really high action so it was even harder to play.

[@chubby242424]

In theory yes harder. But huge fret wire and big strings actually make it a little easier to play for some people. He was tuned down 1/2 step so those 13s felt like 11s, still 2 sizes bigger than what I play myself . But the neck is a tree trunk on that guitar. Thats why us mere mortals are not worthy of the stank he picked out of that old beat up piece of wood.

[@christianlopez5367]

@@chubby242424 not true I play with 13s and sometimes 14 s cause I break 12 s 11 s to easy . . Your fingers literally start ripping .. it's not the same . It's just with anything you have to work your way up . I'll let people play my guitar who are better than me and they have a hard time getting a note out of it . But if you give them a guitar with 10s or 11s they're like Eddie van Halen

[@exceptformeandmymonkey6964]

He broke those heavy strings bending the shit out of them. His fingers had to be like wood on the tips. Calloused to the point of no return.

[@whyis45stillalive]

It was nothing for Stevie to wear out all 3 corners of a pick... On one song.

[@chubby242424]

I play 13s on my washburn dime. With a higher action then any of my fender or gibsons. Bend the shit out of them and damn near break the strings with the trem arm. It takes a few min to adjust to the string size but its not that bad, and within a few min I can solo dime stuff on it. I prefer the smaller strings just for comfort on my fenders but its not some big imposition to play comfortably above my normal string gauge. . The fact that he used to break 13s and sometimes necks with his hand is insane.

[@bigmike2464]

That one then look at Crossfire.... which was AFTER he became clean and sober and was even BETTER

[@garlandmoney1766]

SRV was the total package: older brother Jimmy Vaughn to give him some "in", show the way, plus living in and around Austin, Texas, the new birthplace, playground, and hub for all things blues. He was able to see, study, and imitate the players and singers he saw in town as a teen. He paid his dues on the circuit, rose quickly due to his intensity and obvious talent. He eclipsed brother Jimmy at about 15 and never looked back. His voice was honed over use, it was not that way when he was younger. He grew into singing, with fire and devotion to the blues on-stage live, not from training in vocal lessons or choir.

Back again after a year to re-watch the review from my buddy and... SRV kills me every time. Being a musician, I'll go out on a limb and say this guy's music just lands a little bit differently, internally. A long time fan and I can only take so much of it before I start crying, about the magnitude of the loss that we all feel, not hearing and experiencing music from this human being. It might seem kinda silly, but what SRV gave to us, you're not going to see again any time soon. Damn
