Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV) First Reaction to TEXAS FLOOD (Mr.Strongest fingers)

[@joshritz7067]

I was doing some work for his former tour bus driver. He told me about a time that he was picking Stevie up at the air port and a bunch of Japanese tourists got on his bus thinking it was for them. Not only did Stevie wait in line to get on his own bus, but he had the driver take the tourists to their hotel. Amazing guy

I love the innovation of Jimi, the perfection of Gilmore, the creativity of Vai, the technical ability of Bonamassa, the melody of Bratta, the flash of EVH, the instincts and virtuosity of Gales, the abandon of Page, the mastery of Schon, Friedman, and Moore- but there are 2 players who have achieved complete connection and transcendence with the instrument: Carlos and Stevie. Soul calls to soul. There are opinions expressed about the players I mentioned, and others- virtuosos all- but even Carlos would acknowledge that SRV was the greatest ever. SRV had 4 years of sobriety to show just how profound he was as a human being. SRV- G.O.A.T. Some don't see it that way. Sobeit.

I don't know that there is *one* that is better than them all. I think it's a genre thing. He is the GOAT in Blues, Blues Rock, and the like. No one is better. Period. But there are others who share that title in other genres of music. Eddie van Halen, for one.

[@HMan2828]

@randallECTRIC Jimmy was a pioneer of rock and roll, but he wasn't that good on the guitar. He's been elevated to a rock god status deservedly, but it wasn't really for his technical playing... Half the time on stage he was high a kite on acid, and there were plenty of false notes... He definitely had the feel, but Stevie here is so much better technically...

[@HMan2828]

@randallECTRIC Objectively, Stevie Ray is a better guitar player than Hendrix was. So are Van Halen, Satriani, Steve Vai, Albert King, and countless others. Doesn't make Hendrix any less of a rock Legend, it's just facts. He's not coming back from the dead to pat you on the back for defending his honor, so just chill out...

Stevie did not mindlessly shred, every chord-note came from another place that Stevie took us to. I got to see him live & the best concert I've ever seen.

[@manaen1lds]

Amazing how well you captured and described him. "It's like improvisation at the highest level" "How do you learn something like that?" Exactly. He taught himself to play guitar and never learned to read music -- so every performance of every song was mostly improvisation. Apparently,, the drummer's job was just to hold the beat so SRV could come back to it. "Strong fingers" Yes, he used 13-gauge cables for his guitar strings

Hendrix was Stevie's Idol. He even had one of Hendrix's effects pedals. SRV's covers of Hendrix songs are amazing. I suggest watching Little Wing from the same show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2eqZmZ4gsyondE Eric Clapton: "We played on the same bill on his last two gigs. On the first night, I watched his set for about half an hour and then I had to leave because I couldn't handle it!. I knew enough to know that his playing was just going to get better and better. His set had started, he was like two or three songs in, and I suddenly got this flash that I'd experienced before so many times whenever I'd seen him play, which was that he was like a channel. One of the purest channels I've ever seen, where everything he sang and played flowed straight down from heaven. Almost like one of those mystic Sufi guys with one finger pointing up and one finger down. That's what it was like to listen to. And I had to leave just to preserve some kind of sanity or confidence in myself." SRV made the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame question his own musicality.

Thanks for reacting to this song even though it probably had nothing to do with me requesting it a while ago. I recently took up playing guitar a couple months ago and I have a feeling that even if I quit my job and practiced all day everyday I would probably never achieve this level of playing in my lifetime. If you have never played guitar before, you have no idea how hard it is to play at this speed and fret every string in just the right spot so you don't get a buzzing sound or a flat sound if one of your other fingers bumps against the one you are playing. All that is just for the left hand. The right hand still has to pick the correct string at exactly the same time the left hand is fretting it. Much respect to anyone that has put in the time and effort to play like this. Stevie was the best. No question. R.I.P.

A watershed moment for me as well , remember driving and hearing the news on the radio that my favorite musician died in a helicopter accident ...telling my passenger to shush , hearing it verified , pulling over at next rest area and sitting in shock as a tear ran down my face ... fighting back tears just remembering it now .. still one of my all time regrets is not seeing him live . He use to play clubs and festivals etc all around me all the time and I kept thinking I’ll catch him next time and many times after that .... I was under age (20 yrs old ) and wanted to see him at a club where I could have a beer or two (to help my social anxiety) .. so let my story be a cautionary tale for you . You never know when the music will just not be there anymore , take those opportunities as they come ... don’t wait for the “perfect “ set of circumstances ... was home this past anniversary of his death and you better believe his music was a playing on my player(s). Rip SRV you are missed now and forever .. Sorry for being so sappy ... I’m kinda jealous she just now is finding SRV and gets to hear all that awesomeness for the first time .

Great reaction. You hit on a couple things that show how perceptive you are. The strength of his hands. Most people play between 9 and 11 gauge strings. Stevie regularly played with 13 gauge. Also you talked about his improvisation. You can listen to Stevie play the same song in 3 different places on consecutive nights and never hear the songs exactly alike. He draws from the crowds. Early in this video he was about to step to the mic to start singing. and changed his mind and continued his solo. Best ever. BB King, Clapton and others would agree. RIP Stevie.

[@drewflint7016]

Great genuine reaction! The "bodybuilder of fingers" is even more true when you realise he played mostly with 0.13 gauge strings, and occasionally up to 0.17 gauge, (closer to fencing wire some might say). And he could bend a full note with them. Thats why his tone and depth was so full. By comparison, and not detracting from them, Clapton and Page played 0.08 gauge. SRV is IMO the best of all time. Some lights burn bright but short. Maybe it's better they never get old, but he is sorely missed. RIP.

Sure he's one of the best of all time, but I'm not a huge Texas blue's shuffle music lover.

0:03: "Woohooooo!" Exactly! I loved the energy of this whole video. "Every single sound, it's like he point, he touching your soul." "It's like he speaks not through his voice, he speaks through his guitar." Beautiful concept; beautiful visual. 1:32 - 1:53: There is nothing better than watching you just have fun, just being totally random in the moment -- and that smile at the end of it is a wonderful thing. 10:45: "He's like a bodybuilder of fingers." I don't know anyone else creative or unique enough to phrase it that way, but you are very right! 16:17: "He didn't care about himself how he care about that music." That sums it up perfectly, I don't know that I've ever heard it stated better. You did a phenomenal job in this video of really capturing the essence of Stevie Ray Vaughan. I think your comments at the end unfortunately capture why he is not more well-known -- he was not commercial, he was a true artist. Commercial radio has no interest in such things. P.S. I also looked at your video description -- there was a check-out lane magazine about a Hollywood couple expecting an elephant?!? Bwahahaha!!

Different guitar styles create so many different lists for me. WHO is my favorite? What style. Gilmore's? Trower's? Page's? Hendrix's? Vaughn's? I LOVE them all and could name about 2 dozen more. The most often asked question about Vaughn is a comparison between him and Hendrix, who was better. I answer that one this way. Hendrix wrote the songs Vaughn played them better than anyone but him, sometimes better than him SO Vaughn ended up being better BUT give Jimi an extra decade of life and guitar playing that Vaughn got and who knows.

Less than a decade actually Hendrix died with 28 SRV 35

Young lady. I know you like metal. I am a guitarist and I played in a heavy metal band. Welcome to rock and blues, mixed. I can assure you of this....I felt I could play as well as many know guitarists. Well......all I needed to do when I thought I was getting good...is watch SRV. Than I knew I was not as good as I thought. The man was a beast with a guitar. Many of the best recognized him as one of the top two or three ever....perhaps the best. I love the blues connection. Thanks I have seen him play often but each time is easy to watch. Amazing.

I've heard professional musicians try and play his number 1 guitar in the video. And couldn't. He had super thick strings and set up maybe higher than an acoustic guitar. It was even common for him to super glue his fingertips back on so he could preform. RIP Stevie

I must have seen a 100 first reactions to Texas Flood, and love each and everyone's face every time.

[@joeshmoe9629]

Stevie was popular when I was young, I am a 30 year fan. He will always be known as the master of the Stratocaster. No one can create a presence with a guitar like him. Try Little Wing (another Hendrix cover)

[@johnfry4501]

OMG I was always in love with Gilmour and SRV and now you! Ok that is absolutely the. BEST reaction on SRV I have ever seen. Actually not just the reaction which was beautiful, but also what you thought about it yeah you’re smart enough to blah, blah as much as you want 🙂I loved it. I subscribed ..doh.!

[@MrSchulz777]

that overlay editing is great

[@bbollig9288]

SO much fun watching you react to this!

[@travismorgan103]

Stevie has more soul than any other guitarist in the history of ever...🎸😎

[@gregking8042]

I think this the most genuine and honest reaction I've ever watched about SRV! Dam this made my day!

[@NZLatic]

3:41You had the famous Stank Face! SRV was the king of stank-facedness and none of us are immune.

[@charlesburke9929]

Stevie Ray Vaughan is my favorite guitarist by far, and it's so fun to watch him play. But your facial expressions were so filled with joy and awe, I couldn't take my eyes off you. I think you'd really love SRV's song "Life Without You". It's very tender, and the magic he does on his guitar (or geetar, as you call it ;) is absolutely haunting.

[@hooya27]

People shouldn't be allowed to watch this without some sort of waiver or disclaimer or something. Not everyone's mind can deal with the level of awesomeness presented in SRV's performances.

[@johnmuse6626]

Dime from Pantera will always be my personal favorite and no matter how many rankings come out, we just have to find the person that we connect with the most. You have the most expressive reacting face! You literally just light up when you like something. Always love seeing new content from you. Keep it up my friend!

[@757optim]

What SRV was born to do. RIP Stevie.

[@davidleatherneck]

Good review. Thanks. I watched your review of SRV and VooDoo Child, but you didn't play to the end. The last few Mins are worth the seeing and hearing. Thanks. Looking forward to more from you.

[@Michael-----]

Stevie is a god and is missed so much! That sheer top on Yuliya tho😳

[@thatoneguyagain2252]

I always enjoy your reactions, but this one is really fantastic. Thank you for brightening up my day !

[@renegadespaceman]

This whole show (Live at El Mocambo) is Stevie at his best. I can't believe his guitar ever survived his playing.

[@timothywilliams2252]

Got to see SRV, live, in '88... A year later, I was in Navy A-School and heard about the crash. Grateful and heartbroken on the same day

[@rickyhubbard9261]

Can't stand the weather was there first 1million seller and it was going good tell he passed miss him so badly. Maybe he would have made music that would have blowed our mind's and maybe not butt rest his soul. God bless you a your family.

[@tonyl1981]

You're beautiful as an angel. I was sitting here watching your reaction and I seriously just spit out my drink laughing so I am now a fan. I'm still smiling because that was funny, make them noises again 😁🤣🤷‍♂️

[@shirleykelly9971]

We lost a true legend when Stevie Ray passed he was just getting started RIP

[@LouisFLamas]

You did GOOD! Stevie is da Man!!! Keep up the Super Great work on here!!! BOOM!!!
