I remember I was working at the local pizza place when they announced that he died. There was a video I saw of him and Double Trouble playing a concert in some Canadian dive bar. Probably the best performance I've ever seen from anybody, anywhere. |

Its a shame, really it is. Stevie Ray Vaughn brought the blues bakc to the mainstream, and revolutionized guitar playing forever. People always ask, "who is th ebst guitar player ever?" Hendrix always gets the nod as the best. And then there are the other perenial greats. Clapton, Duane Allman, Yngwee, Santana, and Satrianni... Me, I always vote SRV. He didnt need to play screamin fast tripple arpegios to be the man, He understood the guitar, and what each note meant. You can tell that the man poured his soul into each and every note, string, pull off and hammer on. I have seen some really good players in my time, but they all seem to have a hard time with texas flood, pride and joy, little wing, and leave my little girl alone. Sure, they can play it, AFTER they modify it a bit so they can. But not SRV, he just could. A rare talent. And sorely missed |

thought I'd add a couple of links to some videos for the people that havent ever heard of him (oddly enough they are out there) or anyone that just wants to listen Texas Flood (long version... awsome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWLw7nozO_U Pride and Joy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU0MF...eature=related Pipeline (with his brother Jimmy, Stevie is playing the double net, then Jimmy comes over, leans over and they both assault the thing at the same time.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onqzu...eature=related Leave my little girl alone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQsqRBCXiuw And my favorite, Life by the drop (no actual video, I couldnt find one, but this is a great tribute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-2oPJW5pzQ |
