SRV hands down goat....He played strings so thick it make most players fingers bleed if they could even bend a chord..A true legend gone way to soon,his best was still yet to come

[@1_THE_MAN_1]

One of the things I have found playing heavy strings is you don't need to pick very hard to get very clear notes. Pair that a with tremble bleed mod and the highs don't get muddy down sounding at lower volumes that they would without the mod.

[@AncientCreature-i2o]

He did for a short time before switching to a light guage

[@brandonbussell5544]

SRV was my first love. I think everyone thinks of him as an absolute burner and aggressive but, to me, he is an absolute MASTER of dynamics. He sets up every blazing run through incredible control and the magical push and pull of dynamics.

[@JesusRocks26]

Absolutely.

Mine as well, Texas flood on vinyl from my dad's collection around 1990-1991 I was 5 it changed my life

[@FanBoy1v1]

Totally agree! My dad introduced to him when I was very young and grew up listening to him, I'm 26 now and still listens to him regularly! He has a way with the guitar that translates emotions to music in a way I have not yet experienced anyone else do

This is the music you live for, It cuts right into your soul and demands your love which you are happy to give. The world of music lost out when SRV died but he left part of his soul behind in the music we love him for and we were lucky to have him for the time we did.This is a gift of music that just keeps on giving and you never get tired of it.The way he played is as close to real magic as your gonna get and you can nearly see his soul.

Michael, you are spot on. The more a person occupies that space of “the moment”, the more you become aware of the stark contrast of not being in that kind of atmosphere. It breathes different. Time moves different. You become instantly addicted. The rest of your days are spent seeking every nook and cranny of that space you can find. I appreciate you Michael, thank you for your teaching and insight.

[@urile9912]

True.

[@ericgrauer9866]

SRV was a master of the instrument, the tragedy of his premature loss is felt when watching this.

[@mojorisen5150]

It's been 15 years for me now with Stevie. Been hooked from day 1. So glad people are still out there finding him and listening. There are many greats. For me he is the greatest. He has held something special for me all these years. When him and I jam out, I leave this earth.

[@johnnymossville]

This is one of my go to songs when I'm in that mood. It's a masterpiece.

[@BluesHeavy]

This is one of my favorites I’m physically and mentally exhausted when the song is over. When Johnny sings it just adds another layer of texture. When I get frustrated trying to learn scales and play jazz I go back to this and feel the pure energy, power and heart that can be conveyed in I IV V with minor pentatonic. Never forget why we play not to show off, not to impress with our scale and chord knowledge but for that moment when we are tuned in to our soul and it just comes out and everyone can feel it.

[@sheehy933]

What always gets me about this song is SRV's vocals. The growl, the softness, the drawn out descent of the last word in the lyrics, etc. It is indeed a masterclass of blues. Multiple guitar techniques, not to show off his ability, but to add the feel the song is meant to convey. Same with his vocals, multiple techniques, the growl, the whisper, the descending drawl, not as a display of his vocal prowess, but to serve the song. I often play along with this song, love it.

[@ish474]

Before I even watch this, this is my favorite video of SRV and I even got drunk with Shameka Copeland while we talked about how great her dad was, centered around this performance. Thanks for this one!!!

[@MasonPavlos]

I've watched the Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 DVD so many times I've lost count. Religiously when I was teenager, it completely capsulized me and threw me in a haze of goosebumps, tears, and amazement. I was new to learning the six string and it brought on a wave of inspiration like no other, it's one of core reasons why I really stuck to playing and practicing. Witnessing this was honestly like a spiritual moment if that makes any sense. I don't know, I regard it as some type of monolith in my life. Next to hearing/watching Jimi Hendrix and Tyler Childers for the first time, and receiving spare computer parts as a kid from my Drum teacher to build with. Blew me away unlike any concert I witnessed or watched. The whole band is tight, in the pocket, bringing Johnny in at the perfect moments, and all the colors they are able to create is just incredible, truly incredible. Stevie's entire presence, chops, confidence, aura, and how it changes is fascinating too. The drugs and whiskey had a part, I'm aware, but it's more than that. Like the music started communicating with me on an emotional and subconscious level, almost hypnotizing, as strange as that sounds. It's hard to describe I guess. Anyways, this particular song of the concert always blows me away. It was unreal to hear you say, react, and notice everything I did and have the same excitement/passion from it - as no one else I've shown and watched it with felt this way or was moved by it like I was. Happy to know I'm not alone haha. Keep up the great work Mr. Palmisano, and thank you for being my guitar Teacher. EDIT: Just finished the whole video and I can definitely say I that I felt it and will do everything I can to keep that feeling alive.

[@robhickford9169]

Here I am watching this yet again. Stevie's respect for Johnny and Johnny's brilliance is such a wonderful thing to watch. This stuff should be played in schools to kids. This is how we do it. This is how we make the world better. If you have influence, take it and run....

[@harrietmiller3982]

I so love when serious and knowledgeable guitar players like yourself break down any performance by Stevie but this particular one is so special and you captured the essence of it so beautifully. Stevie couldn't play without losing himself in sweet surrender and being swept away in musical bliss. In turn he swept all of us away with him. It is why he is so captivating and mesmerizing to watch💙. Thank you Michael for this gem💙🎸🎶‼️

I'm not a guitar player, but I did see SRV live & you nailed it! He emoted through his guitar, went to another place & invited you to join him on the journey. I've seen alot of bands & great guitarists, but no one had the stage presence of Stevie, nor have I seen a crowd / audience so captivated & locked in to the place Stevie was taking us to. It's very difficult to describe. Thank you for this!

[@chevy11786]

When he starts the tremolo picking it’s lights out. The back and forth motion, at that speed, for that amount of time, with the varied dynamics is Mind blowing. Very idiosyncratic imaginative, energetic and physically/technically awesome. My favorite SRV moment for sure.

[@VinceFerrante]

Fantastic intro Michael. Stevie is basically flawless, watching him perform live is seeing someone whose soul is possessed by the blues

[@truckercowboyed2638]

I like how theres nothing he's hiding behind... you hear his strings and even the little buzzes and it all seems to fit into the melody he's setting......

[@chrisgianoutsos4837]

Michael, I agree with you 100%. SRV was the reason I played from the first time I saw him in 1984 at 13 years old on PBS showing of Austin City Limits. My dad bought my my first Strat in 87, and I’ve been playing ever since. To this day I have also been trying to reach the Zen that was SRV, occasionally on stage I feel it. Thank you so much for this honest and genuine expression of your kindred affection for Stevie and the blues.

[@BobPerrone]

Playing a slow blues is the hardest thing to do and you nailed the genius of SRV with this . I've been blessed on a few occasions to become "weightless" and it is pure bliss. One night I was performing an improv piece on my acoustic 12 string and when I was done it felt like I just landed. Could not recall all that I did but the standing O I received told me it must have been ok, along with the feeling of the most incredible mental musical high. A friend said they could see that I became one with the guitar. It is a spectacular feeling

[@lycanchingon]

You have perfectly crystallized why SRV has been by favorite player for 30+ plus. Player and instrument as one. His ability to emote through the guitar had seen no parallel. There is a mystical, psychic, spiritual connection made with the listener as if by magic. I wept the day he died, I knew the world would be that much less. Thank you for paying such a thoughtful homage to one of my most beloved heroes.

[@blainetrahan8883]

This was hands down your best video. SRV is the GOAT and it’s all about felling. You can feel his emotions in his playing.

[@Maya_Ruinz]

RIP Stevie Ray. Damn bro, he just channeled it ALL. At a time now when music seems mostly devoid of emotion, SRV reminds us what it's all about. I really miss him.

[@nicholasstewart7585]

SRV is the reason I watch video's like this and have become addicted to music over the years. I do play guitar, but realized years ago that attempts to mimic him are futile. Sure, I could learn the phrases and triads and all that, but SRV possesses something that can't be taught or replicated. The way he attacks the guitar from all angles, while being as dynamic and articulate as humanly possible, he is truly a once in a millenia player. When I first discovered him (early 2000's) i went around showing all of my friends and none of them got it. The best way I've ever been able to describe SRV is that if you watch his face, his body language while he is playing, you could be deaf and still hear it. The emotion/energy/rage/heartbreak/happiness/sadness that SRV can put into the guitar will forever be a thing of wonder. My favorite life performance of his is the Live at the El Mocambo version of Texas Flood. There is a note that he hits combined with his facial expressions at like 1:53 that gives me goosebumps EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Plus, I've always been partial to "Number One"

[@Maxbman44]

Johnny Copeland is iconic as well. This is my go to for a real treat in guitar, vocals, the band for an off the charts blues performance.

Thanks for this, Michael ! I do believe that in fact Johnny forgot the lyrics when he went in front of the mic and that is why he launched into a solo. Stevie realised and that is why that he said “Ha!” . In the end of the original video Johnny tells something to stevie and i believe its something along the lines of “I forgot the lyrics there” and then both of them start laughing. Truly an amazing performance.

Sometimes I go here and there and i have to stop and think were am i gonna go next. I never saw him do that. I believe he was an open channel. He never dried up!" Albert King saying, "There's a lot of guitar players out there. Some can play really fast and sharp but they got no soul. You Stevie, you got 'em both!" Wow! Just wow.

[@judegraham463]

and when the blues really works is when its like you're being told a story of something that had only just happened, like they're re-living this story, and your on the edge of your seat waiting to hear how its going to end. Thats what Stevie was best at, expressing that story with every beat of his heart.

[@w4dey]

Thank you so much for sharing your love of and for Stevie, Michael. Like so many other kids perhaps, my first Texas blues musical epiphany had come at the tender age of ten when introduced to Lightning Sam Hopkins; but the second, and most lasting--lifelong, in fact--impression or epithany came when first listening to Stevie; I was aged just sixteen. As you rightly intimate, Stevie did not simply play the guitar, rather, he lived through his guitar and complete immersion in blues culture. In so doing, Stevie channelled his deep respect, admiration and love for those musical greats from whom, and with whom, he felt he owed so much. When we still--and we still do in our thousands or even hundreds of thousands, if not millions--revere Stevie, it is also with a sincere reverence for those same guitar heroes from the past with whom Stevie now jams for all eternity (that is, Blind Lemon, Elmore, Lil Son, T-Bone, Freddie, as well as BB, Muddy and of course Robert). And it is in that hallowed company of greats that we, his loyal followers (read disciples) remain convinced that Stevie was, and remains, the undisputed chairman of the board.

Period. I remember reading a story once of how a promoter changed the billing on a show so that Stevie was headlining, and BB was opening for him. Stevie refused to play if BB didn’t go on last. Stevie was quoted Saying BB King doesn’t open for anybody. What a man he did so much for the blues. Got to love him and miss Him.

[@beatmasterbossy]

Oh my god, the tone. I've heard good tone, I've heard great tone. Stevie just crushes that tone, like a mountain, with those bare hands of his

It’s those dumbels

[@rtk90083]

@@chantzarcher4807 my opinion his tone was just as good before the dumbles when he just used vibroverbs, supers, twins, marshall c&c/majors...my point is the man knew tone he had some of the best ears for killer guitar tone. That plus his hands, a massive amount of his tone came from his hands, 2/3rds probably.

You are right about those magical gigs. When everything is goin perfectly. No bad notes, no mistakes whatsoever and the crowd is eating out of the palm of your hand. With Stevie though, that was every night, at every show, throughout his entire career. Even in those first few years, before he got sober. He'd be so messed up, that if regular people like us were as messed up as he got, we wouldnt be able to even stand up. Much less play guitar. Stevie was just a different breed of human, when it came to playing that guitar. Then he got clean, and the guy we thought couldnt get any better, got better! Lol The world was robbed, by not being able to see what all he would have done, in the nearly 35 years since we lost him. I think he would have blown our minds, a thousand more times than he already did.

Yes! I feel it when I play! I have been a guitar player for 29 years and learn more all the time. Thanks for this channel my man! You are awesome. Great teacher!

Man, You & I BOTH love all the little details that make songs like this so amazing. Even the non-musical parts like the backing away from the Mic, just looking cool, knowing everything you're doing is cooolllllll. ALL of the little details that completely captivate the audience!! Its like Harleys, Indians & all the classic cars are what made Route 66 what it's known for, the same goes with these musicians and blues music. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but I get it.

This song came on my pandora for some odd reason when i was 12 on my way home from school on the bus. It changed my life forever i forgot rap music and electronic music this song is the single reason i play guitar and have a music taste that far too few 23 year olds understand

His delicacy with those monster strings is astonishing. He gets just the right amount of space and resonance. Total mastery but total emotion.

One of my all time favorite videos. As I all ways say, “if you aren’t sweating, then you are not playing the Blues right”.
