Stevie Ray Vaughan

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a guitar freak of nature. This is a video of him playing "Texas Flood" live at Toronto's El Mocambo in 1983. One review I read said that this is like a brilliant essay on how to play electric blues guitar. Indeed. He plays the guitar behind his back so well it almost seems fake.



Of note: SRV was John Mayer's idol growing up and you can tell that Mayer modelled his vocal style after him.
