Members Stackabones Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Looks like a Guild. Check out the stable behind him. [YOUTUBE]mZkLVinwR4E[/YOUTUBE] I knew he'd played 12-string on Life By The Drop, but I didn't know about this till one of my students mentioned it to me.

Members fingerpicker Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 I had a cd I copied of SRV doing a bunch of live acoustic on a 12 string. I think he used a 12 string alot when doing (albeit seldom) acoustic numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members C70man Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 To me, Guild makes the best sounding 12...they have a number of models over the years, but the Maples sound great to me....Love that stable of Stevie's guitars...... Hey, any reason guys with the name "STeve" are especially great guitar players? He certainly reminds me of seeing Steve Goodman live...a great chop. I wish there was a vid at the time of Steve doing his "Sin to Tell a Lie" back in the 70's.....a very similar style using the same chord formations and at a similar pace....a thousand notes a measure. This is the closest I can find on U-tube....not the same tempo, but again some similar licks. He gets into it at 2:00.

Members rhancox Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 Stack, that's got to be my all-time favorite video of SRV. For the life of me, I can't get that rhythm. It looks so simple and I consider myself a pretty good strummer, but this one escapes me for some reason. His songs fit into my vocal range so I'd love to be able to do a few.

I was inspired by Goodman's "Sin," too. I still do a fingerstyle medley of that and "Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter." They're pretty similar.)

Members totamus Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 He is doing a mute with his chord hand almost immediately after the chord is struck. That is giving it that "chop" feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. I can do a similar thing on other songs, but the timing of this strum and the mute is not quite the same. I know it takes practice. But it drives me nuts when I try it.

What a find! Now I have an excuse to take all my SRV P&J rhythm licks, transfer them to acoustic, and force them on my students! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still do a fingerstyle medley of that and "Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter." They're pretty similar.) Steve would throw really similar leads together and mix them into any song he was playing at the time. I think he just liked showing off a bit. I was sitting down next to him one late afternoon and he pulled out his LG and started doing a tune by Marty Stewart....Big Iron......unbelievable...... It's on his album....Easter Tapes....one of greatest albums of all time...well, for a Goodman fan. Unbelievable guitar licks, one song after another....and yes, there is a "different" version of "It's a Sin" on it as well....I heard him play that song live over a dozen times, and each time differently. Click on Easter Tapes, then listen to the free samples.....http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Goodman/e/B000APWCF6/ref=ntt_dp_epwcd_T1_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnkline Posted August 21, 2009 Members Share Posted August 21, 2009 If you liked those, then this has to be the rarest of Stevie Ray Vaughan acoustic songs ever, I only wish he finished it. It's in my top 3 songs on electric guitar of all time. Watch the Live at Montreaux version too..[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 SRV is one my favorite guitarists ever. I regard him as a technical player capable of doing almost anything he set his mind to - Eric Johnson and Danny Gatton are others that come to mind in that regard - but a player who could also create melodies, rhythms and PURE emotion that most technical players can only dream of doing. Love him. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
