IM SOLD!!...| Stevie Ray Vaughan The smoothest guitar switch ever! Look At Little Sister (REACTION!)

[@sassyt1545]

Kudos to Rene Martinez, SRV's guitar tech, for that seamless transition to a new guitar, mid-performance.

[@wyldeyouth]

Those words should be on Stevies tombstone

[@quincybowers5338]

Everything about this is perfect. Crew reaction is perfect, while he has to wait Stevie transposes the music to avoid the missed string, and they all know exactly when they have a chance to make the switch

[@rainlee1]

So slick

[@harrietmiller3982]

Pit crew quality timing! How can this not blow you away?🎶🎶🎶

[@SmokeUpDatCrack]

I love how he looked unimpressed at himself for missing the first note coming back in.

[@declanmullally9454]

SRV didn't die, God just wanted guitar lessons from him.

jimi didn't guitar lessons tho.

[@JEppsLars]

Nobody can deny how great Stevie was, but he had a GREAT band with him. They held it down while he went in a crushed it. Total package.

[@EJ-tm1fe]

I wouldn't call Double Trouble "great", but they were exactly the right band for Stevie!

[@hvydutytow]

His band was absolutely solid! A mediocre rhythm section makes an excellent guitarist/singer sound ok, while an excellent rhythm section can make a mediocre guitarist/singer sound good. It can also make an excellent musician even better!

[@Say_No-2_Animal-Abuse_]

His bassist, RW & chris are amazing as well

[@donjohn2695]

The band was average imagine SRV with a rythm section of jack Bruce and ginger baker

[@josevi5835]

Except for the pianist, a badass player, the rest of the band is average. You have to listen SRV with Omar Hakim as a drummer... another level.

[@johnstevens9264]

He was absolutely something special!! He didn't copy Jimi Hendrix or Albert King or anyone else… he simply borrowed sounds that he liked and infused it in his own style. All you have to hear is two or three notes on the guitar and you know it Stevie! There's only a handful of guitar players that you can say that about. The goat!

[@skootchk1253]

Duane Allman is another one... I remember hearing Layla for the first time and going, "huh? why do I recognize that sound?"

[@subzero308]

LMAO he copied Hendrix TO A T what r u talking about... tried copying his music hell he even copied jimis clothing style LMAO.. srv fans r delusional to think other wise. jimi was doing it first there r so many more guitar players that were better then SRV. srv was just a decent blues player thats it.

[@MatthewC137]

@@subzero308 You're completely clueless. Even Eric Clapton said there was no one better than SRV. You don't know music or the guitar if his greatness isn't obvious to you.

[@lelarich2148]

@@subzero308 Stevie himself stated he was INFLUENCED by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters and Jimmie Vaughan(his brother) with whom he accredited his love of playing guitar. Nobody said Stevie did it first, they are saying he was able to carry on a dying genre of music and he put his own signature on just like Hendrix, Albert and many more did before them. Personally I prefer Stevie's singing voice over Hendrix's, but there are things about Hendrix I that I'd prefer over Stevie's version. Stevie had his own sound that was influenced by people he looked up to and Hendrix had his own style that was influenced by people he looked up to. At the end of the day they were both out of this world talented and had they ever met I would like to think they would have gotten along, but that's something we will never know.

[@mrnobody9104]

my man i'm a Jimi fan too, had his posters all over my walls still believe he was the original. thing is few years later this young dude named SRV came along and rewrote the way things was done!!!! Beast Mode.......what else can i say!

[@bdog01]

This. Exactly. One of my favorite Jimi tracks is the long form "Voodoo Child", not slight return. Jimi was a pioneer, and flipped guitar on its head, with some otherworldly talent and amazing tracks/performances. Stevie was an evolution of Jimi that was damn near from another dimension. I love them both, and it doesn't really seem fair to compare the two, even though they're really the only ones you can compare the other to.

[@philstone3859]

Jeff Brandon , can you imagine if they both had lived and met?! Holy........

[@claytonpaul4259]

@@bdog01 1983 and machine gun for me. They were just two totally different artists with completely different approaches from different times and places. So glad we get to relish in both of their glory. Stevie loved jimi and wouldn't be the same without him. He harnessed the same free expression jimi did and in his own way. I know jimi would be proud.

He is fun to watch, and can watch SRV and can still use his words. Others often cannot.

[@larryh.5229]

It was reported that when his brother was at the crash site...he found the Coptic Cross Stevie wore in that video in the debris field....kinda a letting know all is alright. Ya feel me? Plus his drummer would talk about a dream he had of Stevie and they were jamming...and after a bit in his dream, Stevie would say, "I have to go". Ever wonder if in our honest dreams, it could be a possible real connection to loved ones? Adios hoss 👍 keep rocking! UP THE IRONS!!!

[@sa7828]

Heavy. I hadn’t heard that stuff. Thanks man.

[@tonymontgomery5827]

Stevie beat his guitar like it owed him money. Great reaction man!

[@tabbylints6963]

LOL!!!:)

[@frbyrd-tg5co]

...like it owed him money - and he didn't care if it paid him back - he was still gonna beat the piss out of it.

[@dabreal82]

Got his money and continued to beat it for more money!

[@musiclover9361]

Fun fact: from the moment Stevie broke the string to the moment he hit the first note on the replacement guitar, it took precisely 30 seconds - and he didn't miss a single beat. THAT, boys and girls, is class!

[@nathanwofford2996]

Stevie didn't die, GOD wanted to see him play live.

[@danielbritton8588]

Stevie is cleaner. I agree & many others would too. Jimmy was hanging around psychedelic bands & hearing psychedelic music & it melded into his wild side. Stevie is a different era & very blues. I think more of BB King when I see this. Mr. Video Gold right here.

[@opalviking]

Shame nolan neither was Stevie until the end tbh.

this dude CRACKS me up every single time. please never stop making videos dude. of all the quote-worthy things you said and things you did in this video (like trying to light up behind your back lol), my favorite thing is how you fall on the couch to start the video. always like how genuine you are as well.

[@chriscarr1659]

Dis man "Right Here," Dis man "Right Here" 💯. It's "Truly" a matter of taste,🎸🎸 Jimi and Stevie will ALWAYS be compared 🕶️ "BOTH" are THEEE best of all-time 💯 I'll bet if Jimi and Stevie sat down together, each would say the other is THEE best of all-time 🎸 "Both" humble men gone too soon😕 RIP Jimi and Stevie🙏

[@subzero308]

meh Hendrix was doing it all 20 years before SRV was even a thing. jimi didn't have anyone to copy... he was the one EVERYONE wanted to copy. in jimis time u had amazing groups and guitarist all saying they should find a new instrument wen they say Hendrix. SRV copied everything from Hendrix and was playing in the time of hair metal and shredders LMAO.. of course hes gonna stand out playing Hendrix songs. srv is cool but hes just a copy of the real thing.

[@musiclover9361]

​@@subzero308actually, Jimi copied from lots of guitarists, including T-Bone Walker and Buddy Guy. He copied so much from Buddy that after a Buddy Guy gig, they met backstage and Jimi reportedly said to Buddy something like, "Hey man, I really dug your set; I'd like to record it." All heroes stand on the shoulders of giants.

[@Drewmk-sc9zv]

Stevies sound is so clean and clear ,didn't even miss a beat when switching ... and what a wonderful reaction ...More Stevie please Bro ...:)

[@EJ-tm1fe]

Robert Cray has the cleanest sound of any guitarist I've ever seen and heard live in-concert. SRV had the greatest sound of any guitarist I've ever seen and heard live in-concert.

[@montywoodley6357]

not only did he break the e string by bending but he plays with big number 12 strings. the man has strong hands. legendary. flawless.

[@ElDuderino716]

B.B. King, the legend himself said this: “Stevie Ray Vaughn has proven that music doesn’t have a color.” SRV - GOAT

[@deborahcornell171]

"Okay, so he was something special." Oh, honey. Truer words never said. Ever. Watch his performance with Jeff Healey, same song.🌿💚💙

[@Guitcad1]

On a guitar like that, when one string breaks ALL the others instantly go out of tune. You can see that once it breaks he starts playing bended notes on the remaining strings. He's trying to bend them back to the notes they're supposed to be playing. That's when he shoots his guitar tech a look offstage to let him know "Need my backup!" That smooth switch was the result of 20 years of playing for live audiences. God only knows how many times he pulled that off before. (There's at least one other video clip, from a show in Tokyo.)

[@Daetalus67]

Dude I love me some Jimi but Stevie was the coolest cat ever and just watching him is so fucking fun. He had a style all his own from the way he played to the way he dressed. And he was a good person.

[@jokermtb]

it is quite amazing how he was so slick at the switch.

[@susanfontaine5214]

He broke LOTS OF STRINGS! He was 🔥!!

[@wolfe6220]

Stevie started playing at 8, began playing professionally at 13. He grew up 8 miles from where I live, in the rough part of town. Worshipped the great blues artists. By the time of this video, he'd been playing around 25 or 26 years. He would play in his sleep. He had the blues in his veins instead of blood. One of the blues greats said he was the blackest white man he ever seen. I just visited his grave on Xmas. RIP Stevie.

You honestly make me feel like there is hope for us yet my friend
