Stevie Ray Vaughan Discussion

I wouldn't be concerned about string guage right now. Fighting with your guitar is just going to be an unwanted distraction from honing your playing skills. Additionally, there's a real good chance yo ...

I'd take a pass on the Grandes. If it were a set of Tallboys it would be another story. Basically, the Grandes are way hotter than what you're looking for and they really don't even sound like strat p ...

A word on wankers and the subject of wanking.

Most people will agree that masturbation is perfectly normal, healthy behavior, with a few exceptions. Having said that, I think most people would also ...

Don't be too down on Vince. His heart se ...

It sounds good! Good playing, very tasty. And good tone too. However, if you wanna get funky you need to listen to some real funk and not some white blues rock guys who only know how to fake it. Your ...

It should also be noted that Stevie had recently gone though a costly divorce, and and severed ties with his management, shortly before he died and both of those things pretty much cleaned him out. Be ...

By the way, assuming noise and hiss are part of all this tone we're talking about, as others have witnessed before, up close his rig sounded like a huge nest of killer bees when cranked. I'm only co ...

Are you currently a session artist?

No, but that's probably what I should be doing. For some reason I'm just totally at home in the studio. It seems like the studio is really where I'm in my elemen ...
