Anyone else worship stevie?
Before i got into his music I never thought of him as a speed player, but now I'm trying to learn "Scuttlebuttin", and it's quite a challenge, more difficult than a lot of metal i know. It seems like a lot of what I've learned doesn't prepare me for this.. what a great challenge tho!!!

oh yea, SRV totally smoked!
He had just as much technique as a lot of the best metal players, but he applied it in a different direction.
Legendary player. I've got a bunch of his CDs & DVDs

so far, I can only do that intro to Scuttlebuttin' at 70% of the original speed.. and I've been working on it for a while. hard to believe the speed on that.
I'd love to go back in time and see what Stevie's practice methods were. He didn't have Speed Mechanics...

actually, Speed Mechanics uses a lot of practice techniques that are very common and widely used at classical music schools. There's a good chance that Vaughn's practice techniques were very similar as those used today - though perhaps a bit less focused on speed.

Uhm, well, it's been said to have been a bit up and down on occasion, usually the latter being the case, so that generally speaking you should put up with it or put it off entirely, yes.

All the more impressive considering he played 13's or something. You gotta have a gorilla-strength grip to bend and vibrato those strings at his speed.
None of those pansy extra-light strings for SRV.

I got to see SRV in concert 3 times. Every time he amazed me more than any guitarist I've ever seen.
One of the great bluesmen discribed SRV's guitar strings as like playing telephone wires.
Check out the Live at Montreux 2nd DVD, he opens with Scuttle buttin' I love Metal, but no metal guitarist touches Stevie for technique, speed and intensity.

wouldn't call him a shredder, but he certaintly was fast! its those rhythmic, funky chops and just raw emotion that made stevie so different than any other blues player!Scuttlebuttin has good hammer ons n pull offs,followed by those funky chops!!!Awesome player, got most of his albums and he is in my top 3 players of all time!His brother Jimmie... I'm not such a big fan of (Playing wise) probably because I keep trying to compare him to Stevie.

To me a shredder is someone who makes me say, "I've got a whole lot more practicing to do". Stevie Ray definitely has that effect on me.
