Remembering Stevie Ray Vaughan (30 person items)

"The first time Stevie and I met, he told me he had watched me before. It was in Austin, we were onstage, and I heard these electrified notes coming out from me like lightning and thunder behind me. And he had slipped up on stage behind me. And I turned around and said, "Who's that?" and the vibe was just there. This is Stevie Ray Vaughan. I said, "I've been looking for you."

My Favorite Guitar Tones (20 person items)

"When the guitar plays the Blues, it's hard to imagine without Buddy Guy all the people he's influenced. The closest thing to him was Jimi Hendrix's arrival in the 60's, and now so much of his tone has become a common thing with playing Blues and at the end of the day he's still very underrated. I prefer much of his first sounds with the Strat on the album Man and the Blues, and he also knew how to make the Gibson SG sound good. "

Take the blues out of contemporary rock music—or pop, jazz and funk for that matter—and what you have left is a wholly spineless affair. A tasteless stew. Makes you shudder to think about it... - Stevie Ray Vaughan Now one must forgive me, cause I have not heard a whole lot of Buddy Guy's classic work, outside songs on greatest hits."

"Isso é muito, muito da minha infância. Me lembro de ter seis, sete anos e ficar acordada de madrugada com meu pai. A casa em silêncio, ele tocava dois, três, quatro acordes e me explicava toooooooda a história do Blues. Buddy Guy era o herói de boa parte dessa história. Eu folheava catálogos velhos da Fender, revistinhas de tablatura, deitada no chão, de barriga prá baixo. Não prestava muita atenção. Gostava do som da voz do meu pai e do fato dele sempre querer me ensinar as coisas "
