Stevie Ray Vaughan - Superstition | REACTION

[@MosaicRose99]

SRV and Stevie Wonder were good friends. Stevie Wonder loved that Stevie Ray sang this song. Stevie Wonder also spoke and sang "Amazing Grace" at SRV's funeral. People were in tears. It was a beautiful tribute....

[@susanoneill370]

Tears...

[@brandoncrow3741]

As a guitar player, I love to listen to talented players for inspiration, and to learn their techniques. But as a musician and music fan I listen to everything and the one thing you can't learn as a player is PASSION. You either have it or you don't. As a pure blues player SRV is the GOAT. But not just because of his technical prowess, but because of his PASSION. Every time he picked up the guitar, he BROUGHT IT. Thank you J for your reactions, and for your passionate love of great music.🙏

i dont know how many people know this but he had to have special strings made for his guitar because the way he played if he used normal strings they would always break

[@devinhood7340]

“I use heavy strings , tune low, play hard and floor it. Floor it, That's technical talk.” - Stevie Ray

[@joeday4293]

I can't remember which guitarist it was, but I remember reading an interview with someone who played Stevie's guitar, and asked him about the insane gauge of strings he used. He said Stevie got a sheepish look and said, "Yeah, man, I know. I'd use heavier ones, but, you know, I've got small hands." As though it was a criticism! I'll bet that sonofabitch could have broken a piece of railroad steel in half with one hand.

[@et2petty]

I met SRV once. He was tired and polite but quiet. I got to know Jimmie Vaughan fairly well tho...

[@Enstamskruvlos]

Fun fact, he went to lower gauges when he sobered up

[@et2petty]

SRV said his calluses would develop a dent the shape and depth of a #6 string and he filled the debt with super glue and file it flat

[@jimcowan8770]

[@mikek5958]

I remember waking up to this news when my alarm went off in the morning. I was working in construction at the time before fall semester and was just absolutely floored. My buddy showed up to drive in to the site together and had the same look I had; just looking empty and defeated. Both huge Stevie Ray and Double Trouble fans. Still hurts, what a tragedy.

[@joeday4293]

It was at the very beginning of my freshman year of college. For two weeks in a row, something awful happened on Tuesday. The first week, a draft scare went through the dorm, because Operation Desert Storm was going on. The next Tuesday, the news about Stevie Ray came. We were all terrified of what would happen to Tuesday after that, but thank God, nothing did. Losing him was one of the most crushing celebrity deaths I've ever dealt with. What a loss.

Tommy Shannon on bass and Chris Layton on drums (both form Double Trouble) are as solid as a rhythm section anyone could ask for. They were the reason SRV turned down David Bowie when David asked Stevie to join his band. That tells you something alone.

This song was originally written for Jeff Beck. Beck was doing session work for Stevie and during a break Stevie caught Jeff fooling around on the drums and loved the beat. So he wrote Superstition around it intending to give it to Jeff. He ended up releasing his own version before Jeff's came out and it was a massive hit.
