Stevie Ray Vaughan Interview
« on: March 13, 2008, 09:42:10 AM »
Done by British TV not too long before he died. He goes through all the different techniques of the blues masters and some aspects of his personal life.
As an aside, I get tired of Googling a rock guitarist and getting instead a YouTube video of some teenager copying said artist. There are countless videos of these guys who have mommy and daddy buy them their Silver Edition 62 Re-issue Stratocaster, buying their "Learn any Rock Style DVD's", downloading all their guitar tablatures off the internet so they can slowly learn any song, note for note (including the key its in, all the bends, pull-offs and which finger to use) and then later trashing these original guitarists by saying "how easy it is to play that". No wonder there are so many soul-less technofreak musicians today interested only in speed and sweeps. They've never learned to play using their ears. I mean, like, that would take too long - dude.

Lol, yeah. I pretty much play by ear, I can't read standard sheet music at all. I do know TAB though. When I started out, that's how I learned the basics, power chords and a few scales. Everything else I learned from listening and translating the sounds to the fretboard, as well as trial and error involved in moving those chords and scales around the fretboard. I'm sure if I had the patience and attention span to get a few books and actually LEARN the complete lessons in them, I'd be a hundred times better by now. Any time I ever got one of those books, I breezed through it and never really got much out of them other than basic ideas. I learned the first part of SRV's Little Wing with a tab book which helped in learning the basics of that style that Hendrix used where he'd play a 2 note or 3 note chord and shift one of the notes around. After I realized what was going on in the song, I stopped and translated that style to other songs. For example, I used that particular style of playing to play Mountain's "Nantucket Sleighride", which sounded really cool.
