Stevie Ray Vaughan Discussion

Hey guys,

I'm using a gauge 26(wounded) G string for my electric. I am able to bend and all and I feel it is fairly alright for the tone. However, my fellow friends advice me to change to a plain s ...

Actually to be honest I'm quite comfortable with 13s. Not that I wanna get close to SRV, but I like the tension that the strings are giving me when I bend. Can "feel" ya know.

Unlike .9s- ...

Btw 1 more thing I wanna ask,

I'm using Marshall MG30 for practise purposes. I'm getting a fender tube soon. In rehersal studios I'm using fender tube amp as well.

Just that the sound changed really weirdly. Like the mids/treble increased by so m ...

Well to be honest, what I heard from others is, highaction + thick gauge = sweet tone.

SRV proved it. So I just wanted to give it a shot. The pain/obstacle just a matter of getting used to it. So I ...

Haha yes I do, a semi tone is tough enough to play with.

Still trying to get used to it. My middle finger's nail just had a tinnyyyyy opening between my meat. Pain Crying or Very sad

Anyway, can anyone gim ...
