Will Stevie Get Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame?
2008-07-15 04:10:24
I speak for many people when I say that Stevie should be able to cut the waiting lines to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You might have been pondering about why he hasn’t been inducted even after his death 18 years ago. Well, the Hall of Fame has a rule. To [...]


Fender Blues Jr. Amp Review
2008-07-14 00:39:55
This Fender amp is quite a fascinating amp for it’s size. They sure got the name right when they named it the “Blues Jr.” This is THE amp if you want an affordable way for creamy blues tones and the Stevie Ray Vaughan tone. The BJ (blues jr) is a 15 watt all tube amp with [...]


Little Wing Guitar Tab
2008-07-11 04:54:53

Fender Necks & Fretboard Radius Explained
2008-07-10 23:48:22
I remember when I didn’t know anything about the guitar necks that I had been playing on. I played, but just didn’t pay attention to it. I read about C-shaped necks, D-shaped necks and what not, but really didn’t know exactly what it meant. It also wasn’t clear to me what the fretboard radius was. [...]

Vintage 62 Reissue Fender Stratocaster Review
2008-07-10 00:41:59
Well I think it’s time to give my honest review on the 62ri Strat. I purchased one of these probably about a month ago. I had been wanting one for about 2 years. The price had held me back. So whenever I had about $800 to spare, I would want a new guitar. But instead [...]

2008-07-09 00:34:49
This blog is about one week old, and I’m happy to say that I’ve gotten just about everything completed as far as design, some seo, some content and visitors. So I’m a bit satisfied with what we’ve completed so far I also want to point out a couple things. First of all, you’ll notice the [...]


Life By The Drop Guitar Tab
2008-07-07 05:12:27
This is a beautifully sang (and played) acoustic song with a blues progression. The first time I heard it, I thought it was going to be a simple blues song, until the vocals came in. It surprised me as it wasn’t what I suspected it to be by listening to the beginning. Apparently “Life By The [...]

The Greatest SRV Guitar Solo?
2008-07-06 06:42:42
What’s your all time favorite guitar solo performed by Stevie? Personally, I can’t think of one to choose at the moment, as they were all pretty much flawless and amazing. I almost want to grab a CD and compare some of his songs right now. Unfortunately, someone ran away with my album collection of all [...]

Pride and Joy Guitar Tab
2008-07-03 08:56:59
Pride and Joy is probably one of the most famous original songs written by Stevie. A great blues shuffle that will encourage anyone (including your grandma) to get up on their feet and shake their bum bum. Now before I show the tab, I’d like to go ahead and say that the guitar tabs on this [...]

Stevie Ray’s Personality
2008-07-02 05:08:52
One thing that I never did hear alot about nor think alot about, was Stevie ’s personality. I mean, we unlucky ones that never got a chance to meet him can only wonder what it would be like to sit down and have a beer with one of the greatest electric blues guitarists of all time. I [...]

One Crappy Wah Wah Pedal
2008-07-29 23:18:53
The first time I discovered the wah wah effect, I almost wanted to use it at some point in any and every song. That of course didn’t last long. These days I kind of hate wah wah pedals. But the effect is needed for certain songs of course. Such as songs like Voodoo Chile. The first [...]

A Free Ipod Touch?
2008-07-24 09:02:33
Good morning jolly ole chaps. I saw some non-informative spam today which encouraged me to write this. Before starting this blog about SRV, I was really into marketing and advertising on the net (I still am, but not as much). Ever seen those advertisements telling you that you can get a free ipod touch or [...]


Mary Had a Little Lamb Guitar Tab
2008-07-23 03:30:04
The very first audio sound to ever be recorded and played back, was the nursery rhyme “mary had a little lamb”, by Thomas Edison. He sang the first lines from the song to test out his new invention, the phonograph, in 1877. Buddy Guy electrified the song (someone correct me if I’m wrong) and [...]

Close Calls and a Death Premonition
2008-07-22 04:32:18
Being a huge fan, I can’t believe I didn’t know about this earlier. I recently learned about Stevie’s close calls with death around the time before he actually passed away. It’ll give you goosebumps. Also, Stevie had a dream about his death only 20 hours before he died. He had a nightmare on the night [...]

The Lenny Tribute Stratocaster
2008-07-20 05:19:19
I’m a wee bit late reporting this and I’m almost sure that everyone knows about the release of the Fender Lenny Tribute Strat. Since this blog was non-existant 6 months ago, I’ll report it now. The guitar was to release on December 12th, 2007. The very day my doggy was born (picture) The original Lenny Stratocaster [...]


Texas Flood Guitar Tab
2008-07-19 04:18:10
A special thanks to “Ben” who tabbed this out a whopping 6 years ago. “Texas Flood” was the title track of Stevies first album recorded in 1982 at Jackson Browne’s very own recording studio. Free of charge! It has been more popular than any other electric blues album in about 20 years. Texas Flood reached [...]

Tightrope Guitar Tab

On the 3rd track from the In Step album, here is the “Tightrope” guitar tab. Very very cool guitar solo in this song. I’m still not even sure what he plays exactly in some of the solo. I perfer improvising it myself. So improvise! The entire solo part is in this tab, but I encourage [...]

Seriously, How Do You Feel About Kenny Wayne Shepherd?
2008-08-11 22:25:02
Kenny Wayne Shepherd was a young blues player from Louisiana that had clearly looked up to Stevie. Shepherd was born June 12, 1977. He was about 13 when Stevie passed. There’s so many mixed feelings about Shepherd and the way he plays. Often called one of the biggest Stevie Ray Vaughan copy-cats. People with the [...]

My Own Version Of Voodoo Child (For Stevie!)
2008-08-08 23:03:50
I recorded my own rendition of Voodoo Child sometime last year using this recording setup. I thought I’d go ahead and share it with whoever wants to listen! There’s no vocals…Because I just don’t think I have the right voice to sing a song like Voodoo Child. So this is all just guitar, drums and [...]

Playing Guitar With Small Hands
2008-08-07 20:34:34
Longs hands and fingers are known to be excellent for playing guitar. Look at Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Jimi’s fingers were extremely long (think fishing poles) and Stevie’s fingers were long AND muscular. He was a short guy, but somehow got some large hand and fingers genes. I’m about the same height Stevie [...]
