I met Stevie and Jimmie in 77' a few blocks from my house at Charley's Guitar Shop when it opened. Throughout his life he never forgot my name. My cousin was his AA mentor in Austin. They used to trade T shirts at every meeting. I saw him and Eric Johnson play on the same bill for a couple of years 2-3 times per month at Tango's in Dallas when they were still locals. They would do a Hendrix jam set at 12am together. Those were legendary.

Stevie Ray Vaughan was indeed a superhuman when it came to guitar. It's a skill to be able to make a song sound better live than in the studio and he was a master at it.

@GuyNarnarian 2 жыл бұрын

I think the way you showed the shuffle rhythm makes learning that part a lot easier. Took me forever until I slowed it down like that and just kept the motion going while slowly adding the notes until I got up to speed. And he totally does just keep it going with no chords throwing in some licks when he's singing. I think people who start getting into their guitar heroes and learning their styles focus too much on lead and soloing and not enough on rhythm, melody and dynamics in their playing. EVH is another swing rhythm monster, especially on the early albums - but everyone starts at the tapping section on Eruption before attempting the intro to I'm the One for example.

it doesn't sound quite right tho.. Pride and joy is played slightly differently at least to my ears. I could be wrong

@jeffrey.a.hanson 2 жыл бұрын

@@andymccallum8090 You’re correct. SRV hits the open strings within the upstroke rakes of the rhythm then cuts them off. The intro shuffle sounds a little off as well. It’s the subtle blues nuanced hammer-on / pull-offs that isn’t really part of Tyler’s more aggressive left hand technique.

@jeffrey.a.hanson 2 жыл бұрын

@GuyNarnarian Keep it up and def one step at a time. I warn you from personal experience, tho, that his classic techniques don’t work great outside blues, tho, I think he played Rude Mood live on an acoustic 12 String to prove he could shred to a straight beat. A giant middle finger to all guitarists. Ha.

@GuyNarnarian 2 жыл бұрын

@@andymccallum8090 I never said his technique was perfect - but just getting the feel of the shuffle before trying to play that kind of part helps. He definitely hits the open strings, but look at what he is doing when signing, not hitting every note, just keeping the shuffle going. That was kind of my point. I don't think he was trying to play it perfectly, just showing how to get there.

I believe the descending lick around 10th - 12th frets is an Albert King lick, Stevie was a disciple of Albert King and if you listen to both of them you’ll hear King’s influence on Stevie. Additionally, Vaughan was influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters and Lonnie Mack. He also has some jazz influence courtesy of Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt and George Benson.

imacmadman22 - Spot on my friend. Most people catch the Hendrix influence, but he was alot more Albert King than he was Jimi. In fact SRV himself talked alot more about Albert and Lonnie Mack then he did Hendrix. Then stuff like Lenny and Riviera Paradise shows the jazz influence. I agree completely with your synopsis.

I was talking to an employee and he said "you wanna see something"? He then goes into another room and pulls this exact guitar from the stash! Being a lifelong SRV fan this sure was a treat! Ed Kings' 56' Les Paul was another guitar I was very thankful for them letting me get my hands on. Great people in that place! They made my day, and a memory to last forever.

The neck and bridge together is a pretty common Strat mod - popularised by David Gilmour, so it's become known as the Gilmour mod. Fender also had 7 way switching (standard 5 way, plus a push switch near the tone control to add in the bridge on positions 4 and 5) on the Mexican Deluxe Super Strat, which later became the Deluxe Player Strat. Bridge and neck together sounds vaguely Tele-ish, all three together is a great funk sound.

Actually there is a reason they call it a 7 way Gilmour mod, It was quite popular using a 5 way switch and a push pull, "The Black Strat" was documented through its changes by Taylor the tech for Gilmour, Honestly I am surprised it took Fender how many years to make it and incorporate it, now you just get it in the Ultra models and maybe a few Signatures. The elite was interesting and I wish the push buttons would come back instead of the 5 way switch marking those models as active electronics. Personally it was cool having the TBX expander and the MDX mid booster. Back then these failed because the guitar market was traditionalists that just wanted copies of the old strat with no innovation, this was an amazing mark, honestly Fender needs to try bringing back the elite now, basically Make it the premium above the Ultra Luxe.
