For starters he was from Dallas where I'm from.

Seriously though, unless you have a hearing fusion it should be obvious. Try and isolate the lead guitar parts in his songs. Do this for at least 15 minutes each day for a week. If the confusion doesn't clear up, then check back.

Like exercize, a daily dose of Stevie would be helpful for anyone.

I completely agree with you Cindy - but I think our rather clueless friend should begin with take that dose at least 3 times a day for the first seven days. In answer to the original question -GREAT...GREAT...GREAT :guitar:

For a great taste of Stevie Ray Vaughan, pick up his first rcorded music. It was titled Steve Vaughan Live. He and Double Trouble were playing in a hotel lounge or bar and very popular in Texas (of course) A promoter talked a radio station into putting their show on the air. It was agreed that they would record the show for an hour. Of course, they played for over two but as promised, only an hour was caught. The whole show was taped but somewhere down the line was destroyed. Stevie's guitar on Tin Pan Alley will knock you to your knees. If this CD/LP doesn't do it for you, none of them will. But hey, not everyone is a Stevie Ray fan.

SRV had an immense amount of talent. If you haven't already, try listening to songs such as: His cover of "Little Wing", "Say What", "The Sky is Crying", "Texas Flood", and "Rivera Paradise".

Not everybody likes him, but his talent is undeniable.

the vocals=not so great, this is the only reason I can't listen to too much SRV at a time.
