[@Drcuono]

So awesome! I love how you interpreted the vocal parts. Unbelievable!!

[@kevinquinn6874]

Loved every note! 👏🏻

[@TomHoll4nd]

Loving your SRV course mate. Even all the background reading you've put into it is great. I'm chuffed to bits that I'm halfway through Texas flood and able to improv some bluesy licks over the backing track. Have you considered a private Facebook group for people on your courses to share their progress and feedback etc? Cheers

[@johnwilliams1223]

I bought the DVD when it first came out in 91. I watched it so many times, and brought over so many people to see it, and everyone always sat there with their mouths wide open. I loved SRV so much that in 94 when my son was born, I named him Stevie Ray.

[@ericwatler23]

You were damn close brotha!!! That was blue’s perfect

[@vladavasiljev]

El mocambo's Texas flood is ultimately the best electric guitar performance ever.

[@Aakarsh1068]

The first time I saw Stevie live on video. I was almost in tears with an open mouth throughout. Bought a strat soon afterwards and thus began my guitar journey.

[@robf4639]

Totally agree. His playing at that show was ferocious.

[@TurtleRocker12]

Yknow, I think the shout factory performance might be better 🤔. Or maybe not but i can enjoy it more if that makes sense, and i go back and forth. But this is timeless and a good step on point to all things stevie

[@glennmartin4232]

Yes, totally agree. He defined himself as the best blues player alive with that gig. No one has got close since.

[@dannyeglen4750]

The version of Lenny he did that night is the greatest thing ever and when he did tin pan alley into dirty pool, I think it was Japan. Incredible!

[@gtrpkr2487]

I came home from work the other day and caught my guitar watching this.

[@seanmannguitar]

😂

[@pierrem4153]

I never in a thousand years would've believed anyone could get this close to the original. That's unbelievable

[@rogon6294]

I have been studying SRV for 20+ years and can honestly say, Sean has almost certainly resurrected SRV from his grave to recereate this video. The phrasing, the tone, complexity and feel is so spot on, anyone would be very hard pressed to deny the exact replication of one of the greatest era Bluesman of all time. Phenomenal just phenomenal captures the sentiment.

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@seantogher3468]

Utterly Amazing playing mate , feeling spent , like an emotional journey... by the end

[@fadeskywards1245]

You really did Stevie justice with this cover. As Albert King said to SRV once: "You're qualified." 😁

[@seanmannguitar]

🙏

[@PixelGamerPro1]

As usual, one of the best (if not THE best) cover I have ever heard. You are one of the few guitarists who can capture the essence of SRV's songs. Love this cover.

[@ruditopoderoso]

I totally agree with you 👍🏼

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers man! 🙂

[@shawnho2349]

muacks

[@aligurun8034]

Agree, probably the best

[@bobdorothy9719]

Opinion

[@justinshew40]

I can’t believe that someone not named Stevie Ray Vaughan can play this song this damn good!! Dear lord Sean you are incredible.

[@davidszobota4428]

I have a new favorite guitarist. Thank you for keeping SRVS music alive.

[@rougeandrei9095]

"The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues." ~ Willie Dixon (1915-1992)

[@jordanpriest3629]

My hand started hurting just watching this. Amazing skills.

[@rougeandrei9095]

When Sean performs, Texas is always flooded in some way or another.

[@ruditopoderoso]

It's actually snowing at this very time which is very odd... But yeah, it's gotta be Sean's playing that's caused this

[@rougeandrei9095]

@@ruditopoderoso It's undeniably caused by the blues' power! Stay safe, and best wishes to all of my Texan brothers!

[@randydean888]

What kind of sorcery is this? You never fail to channel SRV in the most authentic way I've ever heard him brought back to life. Seriously. WOW.

[@edeto16]

That pinched harmonic at 7:25 is absolutely insane!

[@Giggiyygoo]

Yep, and that's the spot where Stevie starts playing behind his back in the original. I guess Sean wasn't gonna attempt that.

[@fredrikcederstrom3591]

Wow...best cover I’ve seen on SRVs masterpiece “Texas Flood”...I take my hat off ! Stevie Ray Vaughan is for me the most talented guitarist ever and a legend... I remember that day long ago when heard on my car radio as I was going home that he had passed away and I just pulled over and sat in my car for like 10-15 min and tears fell out of my eyes...He was taken away from us far to early...but those screaming riffs of his will live forever...RIP SRV! ❤️🙏

[@justinpolaski5713]

This is the best version of the El Mocambo version of this song I've ever heard. You should be proud of this cover

[@imrikeinan9955]

I honestly wouldn't have been surprised to see you playing behind your back!! Amazing!!!

[@DesignbyAndren]

Wow!!! There are very few people on earth that can play like Stevie the way you did. Incredible.

[@seanogden7752]

That pinch harmonic at 7:25 was sweet! What an incredible performance altogether! Keep on playin the blues! 🎸

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks a lot!

[@j.richardson7416]

The magnitude of greatness displayed here cannot be measured with todays existing technology. Thank you for doing this!!!!

[@pathfindermc]

Incredible! The fact that someone could come within an orbit of SRV performance is breathtaking

[@rougeandrei9095]

"The blues is celebration, because when you take sorrow and turn it into music, you transform it." ~ Odetta Holmes Folk, blues, spirituals guitarist, lyricist (1930-2008)

[@jdthompson123]

OMG it is like SRV is back from the dead. Sean Mann - you are the man 🎸

[@1Billyon]

Stevie's looking down smiling on your brother!!! OMG!!! You touched my soul with this one. Hugh SRV fan. God bless you brother.♥️♥️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@billwhitman4125]

1st of all.....I really enjoy watching covers. I think it's from mid and late 70s rock club scene in NY. There were 15 to 20 great Rock clubs within a 50 mile radius. They all had great cover bands 7 days a week. That plus all the channels here on KZbin. With that said....this is probably the best guitar cover I have ever seen. And we're talking covering one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk on the planet. Not just note for note, but in every way.....on his greatest song. Cheers my friend. It truly was incredible.

[@emilobrothaz9797]

This cover is a masterpiece!

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks a lot!

[@Nena_Eylici]

Dude i am watching this in class right now and my face is dropped. I cannot explain how beautiful this is. You have really done this one justice, to the max. I am honestly astonished at how incredibly well done this is, you're unreal!

[@markkennard861]

Mate you shouldn't be watching it in class, you should be showing it to the class .. lol

[@Justarandomspacemonkey]

This is insanely cool that you were able to cover this version of the song with this kinda precision. I bet this took some real work and dedication. I salute your resolve sir.

[@tjgoforth2557]

I truly doubt there is any better guitarist in the world at this time. S/M is a guitar genius!!! Please, we NEED a CD!

[@Jimbarleyy]

I love that you played his vocal lines and than the soloing chops, hands down one of the most accurate covers i’ve ever seen!!

[@turunturun]

100 points perfect score for the playing and bonus points for the shirt.

[@alvesjunior4585]

This one is the best cover of El mocambo's Texas flood i have ever seen. We the vocal's on, i would consider it the OG

[@Vale-nj7ke]

I would pay for see this in live perfectly, incredible!

[@cryptbeats]

You did this great. Stevie and Peter Frampton are the only artists that I can think of who's live performances are better than their studio records.

[@The_Oh_Gee]

Stevie would approve this cover applause… good job young fella!!!

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks!

[@madman9970]

If i closed my eyes and listed to this version I would swear it was the Guitar God himself SRV.. AWESOME COVER DUDE!!

[@Garrett9339]

Absolutely fantastic attempt my friend. I only say attempt because we all wish we could have his true feel and relentless attack on the instrument. You're closer than 99% of us no doubt. Cheers

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers Garrett!

[@philcampbell8516]

Mannnnnn.... what can I say? Don't let Stevie hear this..... he'll come back to haunt you! UNREAL...

[@rougeandrei9095]

"Everything comes out in blues music... joy, pain, struggle. Blues is affirmation with absolute elegance. It's about a man and a woman. So the pain and the struggle in the blues is that universal pain that comes from having your heart broken. Most blues songs are not about social statements." ~ Wynton Marsalis

[@DonovanDread]

Thank God for .25 Speed. I'm figuring this bad boy out. Already have the intro and the fast lick but I can only do the fast like at like 75% speed. It's hard.I might literally have to play this 1000 times.

[@gimmi3pleaze890]

Had to buy the VHS 2 times and keep 2 DVDs now, They have legs. That had great sound, camera angles, and they were on fire that whole show. El Macombo SRV greatest live so far

[@johnpalmer9774]

It sounds so much like him that I keep anticipating hearing SRV say “well it’s floodin’ down in Texas!” as I’m sitting here working. 👏

[@seanmannguitar]

🙏

[@FIGHT101TV]

This brought a tear to my eye I can feel you bring Stevie back alive thru the song...Damn this amazing 🎶

[@jujuperret2563]

It's so good that I'm flabbergasted every time. finally, I listen to it more than the original version of SRV which I love. All my neighbors know your version by heart.👏👏👏👏👏

[@jujuperret2563]

this is my favourite.I never tire of listening to it and watching the video when I can. it's truly incredible. 0:50 this lick is marvelous .

[@sebastianfors4491]

Definitely faithful to the original, but with a lot of your own flair thrown in. I can see you had the patience to sort out everything he played in order, while I usually just improvise my own solo that uses some ideas of SRV's solo. The result is, you sound much more like SRV than me.

[@rackemup4544]

Just close your eyes.... and listen!! Let it take you back!! Love it Sean!! You nailed it!! 🎸🎸🎸

[@_KerinR_]

Dude you got the chops, it sounds insane you only need a black face fender amp and you’ll be there that’s the only thing your missing a tube amp 🔥🔥

[@michaelborn3318]

Nice touch and emotion. You captured the spirit of SRV extremely well.

[@daniellongoria9622]

I watch the El Mocambo just to see the crowds reaction . If i could have just been in that club and listened to greatness . I often wondered if the ppl there knew what they were listening to and how epic it was .

[@rougeandrei9095]

"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art." ~ Charlie Parker (1920-1955)

[@jimwomack1865]

my left hand had cramps just from watching. Great job!

[@e321-g4q]

I never get tired to the el macombo srv performance.... it's tough for any human to mimic the greatest but you came prob closest.

[@glennmartin4232]

One of your absolute best Sean. Epic playing. Fabulous choice. If you can produce this tone live, time to start touring. You will kill it. I can’t give you any bigger compliment than say your the closest I’ve heard anyone get to SRV technique and tone and many have got close. If you love SRV you have to respect what Sean’s giving us guys. Best on KZbin

[@thierryc5544]

Perfect ! 👏 Greatings from France 🤘

[@brunochiarini_guitar]

Congrats, you have officially mastered the electric guitar. Seriously, Sean, this is so good, glad to be following you, I’m watching this the night before my SAT and this video was what I needed to cool off, so thanks on a personal note. This is AMAZING!

[@julianpruitt3771]

Outstanding really captures the full spirit of SrV

[@poretsmouthrunner]

Pure heaven!!! Amazing technical skills with all the feeling and sound!

[@seanmannguitar]

🙏

[@Pantalooj]

Firstly, hats off to you for going there! I have to agree, the El Mocambo version is quite possibly the greatest live guitar performance in history. Secondly, I absolutely loved your take ... just brilliant. Full of the El Mocambo flavour but not verbatim, with a healthy dose of licks that aren't in the original ... just really tasty stuff altogether. Thanks for putting this out!

[@Sailingbill1]

Fuck me!! Who else passed out half way through this....! Nice Sean!

[@stevierayplayer]

Thank you for sharing that piece of musical awesomeness you are really special ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@seanmannguitar]

Thanks for listening

[@bernardduponcheel5209]

Il faut avoir le courage de s'y attaquer, et le talent de le rendre avec autant de perfection. Quelle émotion, c'est juste incroyable !!!

[@MrFrazza1]

phenomenal... I can only imagine how much time you spent learning this song.... incredible

[@MaartenAnna]

Gobsmacked!!! You played the lyrics too...!?!?! My hatt's off to you. Closest thing I've heard in years...

[@martinmcgimpsey2633]

Awesome cover dude! And I’ve seen Stevie Ray do this twice! Totally enjoyed it! Well done! Thanks for the upload!

[@jasonkeith9317]

Dude if I hadn't have seen ur face I would have thought it was SRV playing great job!!!

[@bluzzjazz]

Wow I didn't expect the Helix to sound THAT good! Awesome playing.

[@josephconnelly8498]

WTF!! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD EVER HEAR ANYONE ..GET CLOSE TO DOING THIS SONG JUSTICE! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU DO THIS ..... SETTING DOWN!! REMARKABLE ... SRV , WOULD BE PLEASED! I SURE AS HELL AM! BRILLIANT!! MANY THANKS!

[@chadox]

Incredible that we still see fantastic guitar players like you playing SRV. Keep bluesing buddy! Wish you all the best

[@billstone3113]

That was fantastic. I saw Stevie many times and he delivered these tunes with such intensity it was hard to fathom!

[@imyanetfamiliyanet6594]

Crazy, magical, very talented musician!!! Thank you brother!!!

[@scottie74]

Dude absolutely nailed it 👏🏻👏🏻 the best 9:34 iv ever spent on KZbin 🤘🏻🤘🏻😎 wow mate just wow 😃

[@johnwilliams1223]

That is without question the most impressive cover I’ve ever seen of this. Outstanding performance!

[@Bangkokguitar]

I believe Stevie would give his approval. Good work

[@jaywyatt3584]

Well. That's put a big, big smile on my face!! Fantastic!! That El Mocambo gig was superb, and Texas Flood was sooooo, sooo great. Great work. Thanks

[@cacontos3]

I am just beginning my guitar learning journey today and SRV is the reason. Watching you inspires me even more and gives me a goal!

[@DDE_ADDICT]

Nice, you even got "squeal" from him, put it behind his back @ 7:23 great work

[@andymat7359]

Hats off bro, this is the absolute embodiment of Stevies playing! 👍

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

You should book a small tour through Texas, I think you would absolutely kill it, obviously Texans would adore you. Maybe do something like Randy Hansen does but make it a SRV tribute.

[@Brett235]

Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of the best blues guitarists in the world and you did an excellent job, I'm sure he would be proud.

[@exitvelocity34]

Flipping utterly ridiculous. I cannot believe anyone but the man himself can do this that well. The amount of time an effort here is a lesson to us all. Well played Sean. Seriously--the WHOLE EL MOCAMBO TEXAS FLOOD. You have my full attention.

[@AlanCoffman86]

Wow this is insane! For being one of the best live performances ever by Stevey this could very well be the best cover of it.

[@66HM5]

Completely agree!!! The El Mocambo version of TF makes the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stand up every time I listen to it. Stellar cover btw! Love it!! I would absolutely love to see a video of you Sean, and Tommy Kotana together cutting heads on an SRV cover like this. That would be absolutely epic!

[@1Billyon]

Absolutely Amazing!!🎸🎶🎼🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kennethperkins4696]

I can not beleave my ears a re hearing this ! Way to honor this legend

[@thomasmurie4728]

Sweet Jesus Mann, you can shred, absolutely perfect

[@johnkenney501]

This is truly amazing. Everything you just done with that song. You are officially my favorite living artist! Have you seen or heard the Rockpalast show from 1984?? Anyone who hasnt, I suggest you do.

[@miriam4304]

Eu amo o SRV e nunca tinha visto alguém tocar as músicas dele como você. Perfeito.

[@santiagovilela7373]

i came to hear a cover, i didnt realise i end up listening sounds from heaven

[@RyanCampbell-ve8yz]

Your vocal phrasing is on point man, Incredible. Always love your SRV covers.

[@jujuperret2563]

great absolutely great. and you play with huge strings too.

[@davegilmer_Storyville4Life]

Wow, I don’t know if Stevie could of topped your version of that song😮..seriously. Mad skilz fer sure. Back in the early eighties I would have that song blasting on my way to a gig for inspiration❤ worked like a charm too! Thx for that.😎

[@Guitarozman]

the best guitar performance ever period ........and it was effortless for SRV

[@Ross23J]

As always, your phrasing is flawless..

[@howard731]

Congratulations you are now a guitar legend 🎉 this cover is absolutely amazing 🔥💯

[@Aakarsh1068]

I'm working on this version itself. Now it'll be much easier to follow after you've provided the clear view of the fretboard. Great playing as always.

[@monte6771]

geez....how did that guitar not melt. Sean, you smokin' that Fraser, love it!

[@vandermaas76]

Damn… just damn…. That tone is sick and your playing is awesome, bro 👊🏻👊🏻

[@MikesGuitars]

Sean, you should be so utterly proud of yourself after that performance. You nailed that and then some. Stunning job mate.

[@seanmannguitar]

Cheers!!

[@keshavjagadish1809]

One of the best covers of this song ive seen.... Crazy!!
