[@brunomonasterio1584]

Hey men, good video but you said that SRV tuned one step down, he tune half step down. Little correction

[@hkguitar1984]

You should have placed a warning or disclaimer just prior to the 15:44 cut scene. It still hurts to watch that...........................

[@onlyasnowman]

My 5 favourites: 1. Riviera Paradise 2. Ain't Gone N Give Up On Love 3. May I Have A Talk With You 4. Texas Flood 5. Tin Pan Alley 6. Look At Little Sister 7. Scuttle Buttin' / Rude Mood / Hideaway 8. Every other song he played :-)!!!! I'm the only teenager in my school who likes him so much :.(

[@ppvk2610]

Tin Pan Alley My favorite as well... Best version? Thats a hard one ... Most intense.. "In The Beginning" ; so raw Smoothest... original studio version.. Most soulfull.. with Jimmy Copeland... But i also like the other studio version, the one with the extra reverb, somehow sounding like a real hot texas day.. Other songs? All howlin wolf takes... tell me, You'll be mine, shake for me ("in the begining") Commit a crime (live alive) Also so excited (el macambo) Plus all mentioned in your vid...

Stevie was so incredible, I ended up naming my son after him.

[@domgoddard3106]

Good idea, you can tell pop fans named after stevie nicks, tell soul fans named after stevie wonder, and other named after SRB

[@DominickDecocko]

@@benjefferson Actually Lenny has some difficult parts compared to pieces that were demonstrated on the video. I don't understand what he means by "sleeping with his wife".

[@benjefferson]

@@DominickDecocko haha me neither, and I know it has difficult parts.. I know how to play it B)

[@Hannes_Lind]

@@benjefferson Lenny was his wife, so playing the song is like sleeping with Stevies wife. Im missing a live song he did with Jeff Beck called Going Down.

[@SteveGouldinSpain]

I saw Stevie live a couple of times in London, once up quite close. I took away from it how incredibly free has picking hand was. He would wave it around all over the place but always seemed to come back and hit the right note. Also during one of his solos he hit a high note, threw his head back and rolled his eyes back in his head. Then he lowered his head, opened his eyes and looked straight at me with just the whites of his eyes. It was the spookiest thing I've ever seen, like the guy was in a trance or something. Hell of a player. Hell of a performer.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I wish I could've been there! Must have been awesome!!

[@jicklesjingles8134]

Maybe he really was in trance. And maybe he had some catalysts to get there quite fast ;)

[@RaunaqSahu]

I keep going back to his Live at El Mocambo video every once in a while. He was absolutely monstrous on that particular night. That right hand attack has to be seen (and heard!) to be believed. I particularly love how the entire band swings on So Excited - that groove is FAT!

[@Mitch1977]

Raunaq Sahu the el mocambo evening is the best guitar performance of all time! Anyone who says different is just wrong

[@MindDezign]

I'll be wrong a great performance to me was second time back on Austin City Limits. El macambo recording and video was like a bad night drinking to me. Not Stevie or Double Trouble but the recording vibe to me Wasn't the best. I can watch Austin City Limits over and over. But El Macambo maybe once a year. I have all SRV DVD's. And his ABSOLUTE BEST was Wisconsin his LAST Concert was his Greatest Sound Performance EVER that was EPIC.

[@RC32Smiths01]

SRV is still on a whole other level. I don't think anyone can get the kind of energy he had in every song, but there's no doubt that he has had a lasting impact as him. Quite legendary to say the least!

[@angelocardoso5319]

Gary Moore is as amazing in my opinion. Listen to "still got the blues" or "parisienne walkways"

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@angelocardoso5319 Gary Moore is my personal favorite guitarist of all time. I would probably say SRV is a little more influential and iconic than him, but there is no doubt that he absolutely played the Blues, with everyone acknowledging it.

[@panan7777]

I would say that the only one on his level of exploding sky lighting fireworks energy was Rory Gallagher - Bullfrog Blues live in Paris. This guys held nothing back, they gave it all and have the band on the same level. There are players with better skills, yes, but music is not just about the skill, it's the feelings you let out. Who can remember and name ONE song from Malmsteen? Fast shooters, yes, but BIG something is missing.

[@JC-tm7xo]

When the Isley Brothers created Testify they had a little known guitarist called Jimi Hendrix providing the guitar licks. Stevie was paying homage like always. RIP to both. The best that ever did it.

[@TheYank67]

I see this video's over 2 years old at this point, so I doubt the player even reads comments anymore, but I wanted to say just how fantastic the playing is here. As a fan of SRV since his first album came out in 1983, it sure was a breath of fresh air to come across this video and hear Stevie Ray's essence coming from a guitarist I'd never heard or known of until today. Such beautiful playing. Again, 2 years late, but thanks much for putting this video out there.

[@pdive01]

I think this is AWESOME.....Great playing from GP all inspired from one of the best, most intense bluesman to ever pick up an axe....Thank you GP! and keep up the great work you are doing....

[@emannaquilina6331]

Guitar Pilgrim...being ever more than serious...it is YOU that managed to send shivers up my spine with this video...I think it is one of your best ever. Your playing of these tunes of such a historical guitarist is immensely impressive. I cannot thank you enough for this video and may God bless your talent. Please keep instructing us with these techniques to be able to become a fraction of what you are doing in this video.

[@g.j.schreuder7152]

Thank you for being humble and realizing that it takes so much time to get to a certain level ,whatever that may be. It is a jou to play and to distract yourself from all the common things in life.It really brings you ( and me) to another dimension within your own possibilities and restrictions. It does not matter, it is all about feeling it and doing it. Thank you for your nice and real comment.

[@pdive01]

I agree with you Emann

[@russelstrings9978]

Stevie da man. Saw him in 1989. Out of body experience!

[@marciodecamposrodrigues5590]

Riviera Paradise! Love this song 😍😍😍👏👏👏

[@vincentvandijk9199]

For sure one of his greatest guitar performances... You’d probably also like Frank Zappa’s Watermelon on Easter Hay. Put the headphone on... volume to 10... close your eyes... and enjoy 😊

[@marciodecamposrodrigues5590]

@@vincentvandijk9199 thank you for the tip. What a master piece!

[@shaibal6363]

Yup. He had a powerful right hand. And the left..those bends. Such intensity. Great job.

[@Al-uv3dn]

Your playing and commentary are equally amazing.

[@matheusdecarvalho4240]

Speaking for me, you could do an entire month of SRV content and i would never get tired of it! Congratulations, cheers from BR.

[@DevonThomas1204]

Srv is such an amazing guitarist P.S You did a great job by the way guitar pilgrim

[@tepouogle969]

Nice playing 👍 LENNY live at the el mocambo is my number one. I first started learning that song 30 yrs ago off a VHS tape on a beat up acoustic guitar. I've still yet to perfect that song... Perhaps I never will lol. RIP SRV 🎸

[@richardlamar5010]

Totally enjoy your vids. Totally jealous that you can play SRV like this!!! My wife and I were driving back to Madison from NC and were somewhere in the middle of Kentucky when we heard the news about the helicopter crash and that Stevie was dead. We had to pull over and cry it hit so hard.

[@eliocostajunior8360]

Like Clapton said This man had an open channel with other dimension... maybe the gods of music. God bless his soul!

[@WorkmanJohn]

Hey Thom..WoW, what a great job in interpreting the Guitar wizardry of the late Great Stevie ray Vaughan.I enjoy your videos as I learn a lot from them. Back in the day I worked in radio here in Ottawa, Canada and got to interview him several times and see him play several times as well..He was an easy interview, he mainly wanted to talk about the musicians that he was inspired by rather than talk about himself...It was a great pleasure to meet him and see him sing and play so passionately. Now, about the thickness of his strings.. his handshake was like a vise grip so he had lots of strength to bend those big strings around...I think that we are all sad that he left us so early, especially we guitarists...

[@Finn-fh7hf]

Lenny will always be number one for me, such an amazing song. Great video

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Tommy Shannon once said during a concert he was just amazed out of all the sounds coming from one person. Great respect.

[@richat1691]

with all due respect to paul - this guy is far superior a player. I think he is the best on youtube with a strat.

[@gerin5297]

Stevie aside, you are a crazy good guitar player yourself easily standing tall and even rivaling the legends you teach us about

[@MondoArtista.]

SRV is a genius... and for those who talk about his drug use (abuse), it was a difficulty in plus, think about it, playing like this and having to deal with the adiction problem (that is a disease)... that's why he won the fight against the drugs and remained sober... he is a hero...

[@jeffwyatt7199]

Stevies intensity was from another planet. His bends are almost impossible to replicate. Bending one string up and another down at the same time..... on cables not strings.....who else can do that????

[@kencromwell2805]

SRV is my favorite all time guitarist.. No one I've seen played with as much emotion as Stevie.. His tone was second to none.. But I give you alot of credit too @Guitar Pilgrim because you are one Heck of a guitarist yourself.

[@robertellison4691]

Tin Pan Alley was my number one pick. I also like his playing on Stang's Swang and Gone Home.

[@robertellison4691]

Life Without You is a very good one also, as they all are.

[@robertellison4691]

Add Dirty Pool to the list.

[@ppvk2610]

The more jazzy instrumentals.. Yeah like m too! How about chitlins con carn?

[@christinedorman9657]

I agree 100% my favorite, all time Blues Hero!! I'd trade EVERY concert I've ever been to, to have seen Stevie Ray Vaughn Live!!! He,s why I love the Blues!!!!

[@brunomonasterio1584]

SRV, the greatest of all time. Only needed the pentatonic to show the world his soul. Great video and great playing Guitar pilgrim, cheers from Chile!

[@javigar133]

The one thing nobody mentioned of SRV is his singing, Live by the Drop is a masterpiece of simplicity. Great video, I really enjoyed watching the playing and appreciated even more some details like dynamics and mixing chords with melodías. Keep Up the great content, I LOVE this channel

[@floriansilzle3133]

I love life by the drop.Only he and his guitar and voice, it's so amazing.Get goosebumps.

[@jocallaghan]

Totally agree! There's so much passion in the singing that brings the song to life. Although he's known for his ability to make his guitar sing, Life by the Drop doesn't need it.

[@gkgkjghiguggg527]

Life by the drop

[@tonyfowler7938]

thank you ,, I would only get goosebumps when Stevie played little wing but I got them listening to you ,, anyone who knows how hard it is to even play one chord let alone a riff of Stevies knows how good you are ... thank you again .

[@lucasribeiro4435]

tightrope is one of my favorites by him , the groove is spot on , kinda dissapointed it didnt make into the list, but after all, its your opinion . great video as always man, your playing is prety good .

Outstanding young man .you are a gifted player.Thankyou

[@geo5772]

Thom, I love the fact that you always emphasize emotion when playing, even a single note.

[@glebbochkarev4097]

All these songs are great. Besides them, I like to play "Life Without You" and "Life By The Drop" (beautiful and not so difficult) and of course "Lenny"

[@aljoschascherner3320]

Empty Arms and Lenny are my #1 and #2. Also his kinda simple stuff like "Looking out the window" is just amazing. Such a feel good track :)

[@Milyong]

People who got to watch SRV live during his days are truly lucky! Unfortunately I was born in 1992, 2 years after he passed.

[@ditchgator1]

SRV=conduit for the muse. Heartfelt and truth every time. Thanks for your beautiful renditions. Very inspiring. 👍😎❤🖖 Love brother

[@stevenland8116]

Very respectful list however I have a special place in my heart for "life without you" especially his live performances after he got sober and right before he rips the solo he talks about how drugs were ruining his life but he decided to get help with his addiction and invites anyone struggling to get out alive then rips the most emotional guitar solo... its beautiful

[@peterburman5419]

Wish I was Dutch and could’ve gotten lessons 10 years ago before my muscle memory got stuck in no man’s land :-) Great video! Thanks for making my Friday evening.

[@frankmalone236]

Stevie was a human tuning fork...an incredible artist and man! He's missed...a lot! You're very good as well, brother.

[@musicbytomcarpenter9930]

I dare say these performances were the only Stevie covers I have ever heard that have the right feel. Amazing. You made everyone else sound like robots.

[@mrbluetone8977]

That Riviera Paradise intro was great... thanks for reminding me of this track

[@gooblob4192]

It might not be a particularly spectacular guitar song, but "Life By the Drop" has always been one of my favorites. Both the vocals and the guitar have so much emotion.

[@DieterKrauss]

I keep going back to that "Mary had a little lamb" performance in Austin, Texas. Probably the video I've watched the most. He seems out of this world the way he plays in that video.

[@noahtenshen]

Speechless on two counts. Stevie's astounding abilities and yours to even make them so much more apparent with your own astounding abilities. You never cease to amaze and never let us down. Stay Well You Incredible Man.

[@jimamsden]

Your recreation of SRV is stellar. Thank you.

[@meriam4109]

Life Without You is one of my favorites, but I can agree with your list. I only wished I could play them like you.

[@wildskel6350]

Just found this for the first time. Mega impressed.

[@354Texxx]

You are so humble about your own level of playing....It's very inspirational... it is always a pleasure and a learning experience.

[@martyfarrell9459]

My brother and I saw SRV in Toronto at the Masonic Temple. Late July, 105 degrees inside. We were dying just listening. He HAD to break up the set to rehydrate. I've never seen someone work so hard to do so well. His music earned our respect, his devotion earned our admiration, forever! BTW, you missed half the slide-ups in Scuttle Buttin' and all the feeling. You're forgiven. LOL. Great vid!

[@druwk]

Great post! Your incites are inspiring. All these songs are now in “standards” in any blues show. Serious crowd pleasers. Watch any of Stevie’s old shows and have your 🤯. It’s unbelievable how much heart and soul he put into his performances! Whole package...SMHD. What talent! Add to that any experience of trying to learn how to perform these songs, and the mojo required...all you can do is take your hat off to SRV. Wish he could have lived a few years longer?

You are incredible. Imagine SRV as he created this music. Your ability to master his work only elevates my appreciation of his creative talent.

[@suriakumarsupra7091]

In fact he was ahead of time in his blues playing.He played from his heart.

[@lorenzor2555]

Riviera Paradise is by far my fav SRV song, since it came out. It was the last vinyl I bought. You did a perfect rendtion

[@xArsVivendi]

Fun fact, 15:44 was a real pre-war Martin. They had a copy made by the Martin Custom Shop (for the scene where it gets destroyed), and an actual pre-war Martin for all the other scenes. (Maybe for authenticity reasons) But the actor mistook them and destroyed the real one. That's why the woman freaks out so much. She knew he had the wrong guitar in his hands. :'(

Thank you, for showing us the little fantastic and hiden things of the huge blues world... most of the people think blues is playing good and match the notes, but is mutch more, is about feelings, is playing and listening with the soul... Is a transmisioning of feelings... SRV is the top of the guitar player and the blues never gona have somewone like im. Huge loss. Sorry the english writhing, im Portuguese.

[@ghfdt368]

Great video and Stevie was one of a kind. id love you to do a video on the great Gary Moore, people often forget how much of an incredible blues guitarist he was because he made his name being a 80's hard rock and shred machine, but like stevie really made songs his own and had his own crazy style and intense feel and arguably was an even better blues player than he was doing his crazy 80's heavy rock music. Still got the blues, Stormy Monday, The sky is crying,The prophet, The messiah will come again, walking by myself,midnight blues, Trouble aint far behind are all terrific songs he wrote/covered among many others ive forgotten.

[@Sainte305]

Dirty Pool, that tremolo strumming is insane!

[@chrislangdell117]

Nicely done. Stevie was an absolute master. Great tribute to his mastery and your chops are pretty decent too.

[@bobeisenberg4125]

Wow! Quite a fantastic job you did, Sir. I’m surprised nobody seems to have suggested Telephone Song as a favorite. I don’t think it ever appeared on an album but when I heard it on Pandora, I was just blown away. Maybe not the most technically challenging SRV tune, but it sure does get me going. Thanks for doing this video!

[@OUSoonerinDFW]

Preach it, Brother! Stevie Ray Vaughan was just his own unique force of nature!

Hey Brother Thom, I love your You Tube channel. SRV is one of my all time favorites, his power and precision was amazing. So many great and bad ass guitarist came out of Texas going all the way back to Lightnin' Hopkins and the man who electrified the blues...T-Bone Walker. I'm wondering what your thoughts are about the Texas Albino who hit the scene hard and fast back in 1969. That being Johnny Winter. Could you do an episode on his unique style of playing. From his thumb picking to his monster slide work. I think you would have some fun showing us your example of Johnny's style. Thank you. and keep up the great work!

[@guitargeargarage1482]

Ditto on Mr. Black’s reply including we’d love to watch n listen to you doin a video on Johnny Winter 💥💥💥⚡️🎸

[@awakeningsouls4347]

One thing I read and tried recently that SRV did... turn your pick around and play with the wide end. You get much more attack and the notes sound a lot more intense.
