Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Pride And Joy (Live at Montreux 1982)

Official Video for "Pride and Joy (Live at Montreux 1982)" by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a legendary blues guitarist and singer from Texas, known for his soulful playing and powerful vocals. He rose to fame in the 1980s with hits like "Pride and Joy", "Texas Flood", and "The Sky is Crying", which showcased his incredible guitar skills and deep love for the blues. Vaughan collaborated with many other artists throughout his career, including David Bowie (on the song "Let's Dance"), blues icon B.B. King (on the album "In Session") and his brother Jimmie Vaughan (on their “family Style” album). He was also heavily influenced by other blues legends like Albert King, Freddie King, and Jimi Hendrix, whose playing styles he incorporated into his own unique sound.

SRV is absolutely insane 6 stringer, and he can sing like no other in the blues genre imo. SRV in my mind is one of the best to ever play, but we need to all appreciate Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton laying down the groove.

[@artbagley1406]

Well, USUALLY his axe had 6 strings ... except when he was bending his notes with so much force, feeling, and fervor that they wore out and broke! Learned through other commenters that SRV used much heavier gauge strings -- "cables"? -- than "regular" guitar strings; he must have had very strong fingers, hands, and wrists.

He's often not mentioned because he got away from rock and is more into contemporary swing, but he belongs on that short list, too.

I can respect that, but for me SRV is the best guitarist of all time. That is my opinion, plus these guys play two completely different types of music. So it's really hard to even compare. I'm a blues guy, and naturally I think SRV is the best blues guitarist and the best guitarist in general. If you disagree with that then that's alright, no need to make it personal bud. So let's not say that it's ABSOLUTLEY 100% OBJECTIVE that Rhoads is the best guitarist of all time. Because it's all subjective, so don't be childish now alright. We can both have different favorite guitarist without telling people that they can die

[@brunojunakovic]

fanboy, they are both pretty fucking awesome at what they do, but you can't even compare them, their music is 2 different languages. and its all matter of prefference and personal opinion, for me SRV wipes floor with randy or any metal guiarist, but again thats my opinion because i prefer blues over metal anytime.

[@michaelluna612]

Some here in this thread said it earlier: his guitar is an extension of his entire being. He plays it with an instinctive effortlessness, as if he’s simply “thinking” the sound instead of physically manipulating his instrument. It’s otherworldly. It’s Genius at play. It’s a gift to every other human being who has ever heard him play.

[@srv318]

And I was doing exactly that back in May of '89 during the 'In Step' tour. Dead center front row at the Starlight Bowl in Balboa Park, San Diego. There was an almost continuous heavy wind blowing into the crowd from the stage and we couldn't figure out where the source of it was coming from. In between songs it would let up, but when he continued playing it would start to gain strength again. This happened throughout the show. A few of the times that he looked at us we pantomimed to him where the heavy wind was coming from. He finally came up to us between songs and asked us what the hell were we trying to convey, but he didn't know either and then winked with a big ass smile and started up again with the next song. By the end of the show we were convinced that the source of the wind was coming from the power of Stevie's guitar playing. Sounds crazy, but what else could it have been? It seemed to be coming directly from him and there was nothing else around that would've explained it. What was he trying to convey to us with that wink and smile? It was truly weird, but what a performance he put on that night.

@Cameron Grant Absolutely. As expected. Even great players like Stevie are gonna miss a note here and there, especially if you're ripping like this for a couple of hours a night. Equally all great players are just gonna move straight on from it. I'm sure Stevie noticed that dead note but it didn't affect even the next note of the solo. Not particularly in this instance but some mistakes even add something unique that can't be recreated the next time around. That's the beauty of playing live I guess.

[@biohazard8295]

I've heard that he actually progressively used less thicker string during his career. At one point he used 13s but i don't think it lasted much, because his guitar tech said he would eventually hurt himself. It's also interesting to know that when beginning a tour he would use 10/11 and as he built up more and more energy during the tour he would increase string gauge. He had incredibly strong hands but it's a myth that he always used 13s.

[@bryan1634]

@@biohazard8295 he was using 0.13 alot during the early 80s, when he was clean, he could feel the 0.13 dig into his finger, so then he changed to 0.11 until 1990

I don’t see a high action or high neck relief, why people on forum says he liked high string action.

This man was so very talented & what a shame to lose him so young. Never get tired of listening to his music.

[@chasebriscoefan14]

Someone needs to show this to Rolling Stones magazine because they ranked him the 20th greatest guitarist of all time, but we all know he is top 5

[@RealScottPowers]

Rolling Stone has no credibility anymore.

[@Jesso_21]

Yeah that's a low blow, some of their ratings are terrible though! Can you remember where Eric Clapton fit in? He rated SRV as the best & I'll bet Eric is in the top 5.

[@chasebriscoefan14]

@@Jesso_21Eric Clapton was ranked 35th, which is also utterly ridiculous

[@kingcharles1987]

when i first started playing bass, i walked in this old fashion guitar shop with older men running it, i thought i could just walk in and be some dumb teenage metal head and play motley crue etc, then my teacher showed me stevie ray and now i appreciate blues,folk more, it was nice knowing the roots of where rock/metal came from..i like to play a little blues now, it made me open my eyes,ears and mind,heart more to music, i love it. If i ever make it, you all will hear me putting blues songs out lol

My mom went to see Stevie in many different bar gigs in Texas when she was my age. (22.) she says when she heard he had passed over the radio she pulled over and start weeping. She says Stevie was their guy and they were proud of how far he had come.

I just marvel SRV can be so busy on guitar and still sing. Truly a great...too bad we lost him when he was on the rise.

[@davidwalker5054]

A lot of people have taken up playing the guitar after listening to Steveie even more have put their guitars in the attic

[@davidrpriest]

This is now the perfect example of " Texas Blues " His best song!

[@orphanblacks0126]

I grew up in Grand Prairie, TX at the same time Stevie Ray was coming up in the Cliff. I remember driving to Austin to see him every weekend. SRV didn't "play" the guitar, the guitar just played. Clapton called him an open channel. But really, Stevie Ray Vaughan spoke strings and frets better than he spoke English. He could convey thought and emotion better than any spoken language. He could put you in the state of mind he wanted you to be, the exact same point in place, in time that he was. SRV was Magic ~ RIP SRV

[@shawnnemcdaniel9902]

Stevie makes his soul come off his guitar strings and it hits you like lightning. I have tears often watching SRV and aint even sad. He was and is SO great!

i would say robert johnson but oh well eric clapton is pretty great too

[@johnsmathers21]

def not the king of blues. either B.B. King, Lightning Hopkins, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf. Clapton, Jimi, SRV were all great adapters and disciples of the kings of blues music. They also found ways to make Blues mainstream and modern. In reality these guys are all amazing musicians. its just tough for me to call him the "king of blues"
