SVR knew how good Double Trouble & was very loyal to his bandmates. When David Bowie wanted just SRV to go on tour with him, instead of SRV & Double Trouble as his opening band, SRV told him to go f himself. They pretty much never talked again.

That is very offending. Tbh i dont hate srv nor do i worship him, i play that stuff but i wont describe it as "feel' as many people call it. Feel for me is some slow blues like bb king jazzy slow blues improvs etc. I play it because it sounds great but whenever i wanna feel then i play other things i mentioned.

Thats a very big double standard of "superiority" or "better " thing. What i said was that everyone has their own character. Saying bad about anyone is bad. If you say bad even if unknowingly offending a person then you should prepare for getting back even more. You werent fair in your comment either. Its like a set system of the 'legend" tag , like a rule that no one can have other opinions but in the modern guitar hero case there is no "legend" tag and its very easy to show hate indirectly disguised by a own hero respect comment(as this one here is) or directly. I bet, NO ONE GUITARIST IN THE WORLD will be called a "legend" even if he/she is better than srv or hendrix etc.. this is what i got offended about , the double standard and no respect for other fans

[@35diamondgirl]

DB2 grew up immersed in the Austin blues scene. His father, DB1, played in a band with Jimmie for several years, then got together with Stevie after Jimmie formed the Fabulous Thunderbirds but before Stevie formed Double Trouble. Years later, DB1 became Stevie’s occasional songwriting partner and father-figure (he was several years older than Jimmie and Stevie). DB2 was growing up while all this was happening around him, so it’s no wonder he developed his talents. He’s been part of Eric Clapton’s touring band for awhile.

It's amazing how people mistake Jimmie Vaughan's approach to guitar playing as bad. More notes does not necesarily equal greatness. Jimmie plays like the blues guitarists from the 60's like Hubert Sumlin, Robert Nighthawk, Albert Collins but has combined it into his own style. When you hear him play, you are hearing a time machine into the 50's and 60's style of blues guitar before Clapton and Hendrix came along. That's his intent. I'm sorry you don't know the history of blues guitar and blues music enough to realize nor appreciate yet what he's doing. But I get it and thank you Jimmie, I feel ya...every note! The guy has played on a Bob Dylan record...Dylan only gets the best players in the land.

[@joelcohen8438]

Jimmy was THE guitar man in Austin when Stevie was just a kid. I never heard him play until now. I've listened to everthing I can find, especially the Thunderbirds. He's a great licks or parts player. But his leads don't go anywhere. Every player on that stage illustrates why Jimmy never made it big. He learned licks but he never learned how to really play lead, to let it all hang out, express passion through his ax. He never plays a blue note, quarter tones, and eighth tones that are in between the frets. He never makes his guitar cry or scream. He never tells a story and builds it to a climax. He never gets off! I love the song he wrote after Stevie died, Six Strings Down, and the old Black bluesman style he plays it in. It has passion. Every time Stevie played, he played with energy and passion. He had all the chops and feeling Jimmy just doesn't. So does John Mayer and many others. Stevie is and always will be, one of the greats!

[@juancpgo]

I get how you feel about him. But I totally disagree. I think Jimmy Vaughan is one of those players that grows on you. His simplistic licks, often repeated, is not a lack of ability, it's totally something he worked on. The time when I fell in love with his playing was when I bought the "Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004", and in the opening title, right when you hit "play", you hear Jimmy Vaughan playing "Texas Flood". That bit is one of the most powerful guitar playing I've ever heard, and I didn't even know it was him, I didn't know much about him. Since then became a huge fan. It's nuanced, his playing. So, I would kindly tell you to reconsider and open your mind… a lot of music is kinda hidden in between the cracks.. under everybody's nose. That's where you often find the most precious bits.

[@chucklutter7399]

Jimmy has a completely different style from Stevie. Listen to his solo in Coal Train with SRV, Carlos Santana and Caesar Rosas. Currently my favorite live solo. Give it a serious listen

[@jokermaan1]

I'm always fascinated by Jimmie's left hand style, because he plays with straight fingers and takes them way off the fretboard between notes, making it hard to play in a fluid way. To me he's always making it look like hard work! It makes his lead playing seem disjointed and his phrasing erratic and it always seems to me he's short of ideas when improvising. He's not in the same class as JM and GCJ, although he was playing before either was born! He was appropriate for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, because his playing had a quality which seemed to better suit their music, which is not really pure blues.

John Mayer killed the vocals on this. Awesome. The best on that stage though was on the wall behind them looking over their shoulders. Nobody can play the Texas blues like SRV. NOBODY.

[@dannielgiraldo5445]

I imagine, jim Morrison, janice joplin, jimmy jendrix, stevie, and all the fallen musicians just jamming up on rock heaven.

[@johnchang7]

Epic. SRV what an absolute legend.

[@heavychevy383]

stevie was the man ...because albert king said so! ...great performance, thanx for sharing it!

[@backstreetkid3854]

Agreed 🤘

[@chrisb2038]

man look at double trouble, still cool as ever

[@sophiawolthof1238]

💗💗💗

[@leolovell6218]

I remember where I was when I found out Stevie Ray was gone my friend who turned me on to his music had passed away a few years earlier. I sat down and cried

[@uweseeler1]

John playing his 900 bucks SRV signature strat? That would be cool af...

[@idne12]

Manuel Küng he is

[@BlasterJunos]

That's his SRV signature strat that he bought when he was 19, or so the story goes...

[@ronnieguitar99]

Yeah, you are right. Fooled me at first because the SRV pickguard has been switched to a tortoise shell pickguard like the Meyer Strat but I saw the signature and then there was the gold left-handed vibrato.

[@darkrider3952]

@@ronnieguitar99 I never understood this part, So did Mayer switch out the pickguard???

[@nsc217]

Manuel Küng There’s no SRV signature for $900... It’s like $2,000

[@T35S]

John Mayer’s solo is just perfection 🤤

[@whtesrgeswe4128]

Just imagine if we got to see John and Stevie play together

[@Monomonmamon]

I can't insert a picture here but that would be like the spiderman meme where he's pointing to another spiderman lmao joke aside, that would be a mixture of madness and harmony

[@sheilabarron7206]

Thank you Double Trouble Jimmie John Doyle and Gary Awesome song✌️♥️

[@BRO_v1]

Jeeeezus, Gary Clark Jr is someone who I always, not forget about but ya just don't see very often and then BOOM he pops up every now & again and absolutely annihilates something like this.

[@carlosangel9404]

I think Gary has the best voice of the group. You can tell he puts his soul into it when he sings.

[@barbpence8784]

I love these guy but most a all I miss S R Vaughan I used to sing this song in my home town band I miss so much❤️❤️🎤🎸

[@bbb462cid]

I could listen to live blues all night every night

[@steveogregg6940]

Thay all gave it a good shot.. But. Can't none of them can play like the late GREAT S.R.V

[@Omahaguy68131]

have you listened to that young Kingfish fella? he's still forming.he's only 20. scary stuff, there.

[@dimebagsanchez]

j nordaker bro my boi christone is killing it rn

[@blairjones8231]

I prefer Jimmie to SRV - more space between the notes!

[@bobdillon1138]

@Justin Church Yeah right...LMAO.

[@josephl.2398]

@@Omahaguy68131 Kingfish is a force of emotion and raw blues passion

[@shawndaheisser4462]

Hot damn yes ma’am !!! No one is more deserving. Rest high on that mountain in groove time SRV.✌️🙏❤️

[@fakegibsonssuck7755]

4 great Guitarists, including Stevie's brother, all playing at once and they don't even hold a candle to Stevie's playing and intensity... Sounded null and Dull without him, shows what a once in a lifetime talent he truly was.

[@AECEntertainment]

Great tribute though

[@paulwallis1366]

absolutely true. no one and i mean no one has srv's sound and intensity. he didn't play his guitar, he attacked it.

[@MyJc1967]

They cannot play this like SRV his solos are always amazing and nobody else can play it like him he was the greatest guitarist I have ever heard in my life. God Bless everyone I miss him so much still today

[@bymyself9487]

SO AWESOME Stevie Ray is up there jamming with them💋👀🖤😊

[@rangeofmotion5993]

Gary Clark Jr. killed it on the vocals... and JM killed it during his guitar solo! Good shiz!

[@maxsernaa]

I love john Mayers music, but the only who could get to the high pitch and voice of Stevie was Gary Clark jr, he is so underrated.

[@kathleenloverso5654]

Just Awesome, Guys !!! Thank you !!! ✝🎸✝

[@mattilangofficial]

The next Blues generation!

[@YTOxygenLess]

Crazy to know now that John was playing through the "Texas flood" Dumble overdrive 005 here. Ie the actual amp stevie used to record it!!

[@______jsh______]

I love this man! 😍

[@bluesriot2]

just what i needed to hear on the day i heard the sad news that we lost the great blues patriarch John msyall R I P John and of course always SRV

[@thedoffen2000]

John Mayer has an amazing Stevie tone in his voice... goosebumps and watery eyes... SRV for life!

[@davidallen346]

Pure class proper tribute 👏 🎵🎸🤠🇨🇱

[@onlyasnowman]

I'm too young to have met SRV but I hope, sometime I will meet him in heaven and jam with him :-D!! But that's still a looong way - I'm 14 years old...

[@shawnwright5332]

I seen him live in 1983 he was the opening act for Robert Plant he broke off and came down to do a little show I know what it's like for people who saw Jimi Hendrix there's maybe 5-10 guitar players all time that have that kind of magic Rory Gallagher of Ireland is another mad mad talent!!!! Cheers

[@davidroper726]

It’s speaks volumes to Stevie’s talent when this stage full of elite guitarists sound as weak as they do trying to cover SRV. There’s just no comparison.

[@coolbreeze2000]

David Roper should have had Phillip Sayce & KWS

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

Indeed................ this sounds absolutely horrible.

[@nsc217]

David Roper Except there are tons of guitarists out there who could do more justice

[@zerohourdrift]

JohnnyG if you think it sounds horrible you’ve got some issues.... sure it’s not stevies version but it’s great.... jm, Gary Clark jr, jimmy and Doyle are all crazy good blues players

[@zerohourdrift]

coolbreeze2000 Hawkins Philip Sayce is a killer player, but he definitely leans more towards the hendrix side of things. He uses a TON of vibe on his songs, an effect Stevie was never really a huge user of, unlike hendrix

[@michelvanvliet2826]

Just shows how extremely good Stevie was.. Love you Jimmie!

[@董家琪]

Fender should just use this as the official stratocaster ad. Top notch guitar porn

[@idontwanttousemynameyoutub7538]

Doyle is great....Jimmie is the real deal. It opened right when Jimmie started playing.
