Guitar God Fridays! Stevie Ray Vaughn

Wow is it Friday already?
Where does the time go? Just once i want someone to answer that question for me…

Anyway I digress.

Welcome to the Second Installment of Guitar God Friday. This week we’ve got yet another dead legend (we’ll try to get to Clapton before he dies).   In order to create some sort of flow to the proceedings, we thought we’d honor Stevie Ray Vaughn, because not only is he most definitely a Guitar God (Rolling Stone ranks him as the 7th best guitarist of all time). But also because some say that he embodied Hendrix’s skill…..  Stevie was also a massive fan, and would always put a Hendrix Cover as a track on each of his albums.

So without further ado, lets watch Stevie talking about Jimmy!

So there you have it… just throw Jim Morrison into the dream as the lizard king, add Wayne and Garth and you’ve got the makings of Waynes World 3 (working title WW3).

Ahem.

Am i digressing again?
Sorry.

Next up is Stevie Ray Vaughn doing justice to Jimmy Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile.

Nice huh?
Next up, in the interests of those of the younger persuasion, I thought i’d include someone you all may know (he’s still alive!), passing comment on the late great SRV.
Ladies and gentle persons i give you John Mayer.

Second Last is a bit of treat – S R V talking guitar styles, drugs, Stevie Wonder and a sort of guitar lesson – well worth watching!

And last but most definitely not least one of Stevie’s own masterpieces Texas Flood.

That’s it for this weeks Guitar God Friday, check back next week to see who we have in store??!!
