oh my god Layton is HAMMERED in that pic!

Ok i listen to every week hendrix,srv,doyle bramhall II and his different groups like arc angels and solo stuff with eric clapton etc..,eric gales,little jimmy king,eric clapton in some form cream/dom ...

who else do you guys listen to???

i'm a fan of Stevie Wonder even more than I am Stevie Ray. He's my all time favorite musician.

Those versions on the Tribute To SRV concert were really great. Buddy doing Long Way From Home, Clapton doing Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love, Dr. John doing Cold Shot. Other than them, anytime I hear ...

I hear you bluz, but with srv, jimi, albert king, since they are all gone, it is nice to hear someone take their great music and put their own spin on it and still retain the magic of the original. I ...

youtube is amazing. i have found some great stuff on there....from old stevie wonder videos to joe bonamassa and jonny lang clips. great site!

not to start any fires here, but just for the sake of argument and observation why are we prasing artists for playing someone elses stuff....or even trying to sound like someone else? granted when ste ...

This is true; there a lot of players who went to 12's or 13's and have gone back to 11's; Aynsley Lister, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and others; I only use a 12 on top E; the rest are 11's.

IMHO dumbles, two-rocks, fuchs's and other botique amps are waaay overpriced for what they are and they are too hard to figure out quickly. plug into a super reverb or twin, crank that sucker and pres ...

Is it just me or is Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love really hard to sing and play?
its fairly easy...just takes some practice.

I agree with Bluz,

What I use for the SRV tone is a AV 62 Strat with a TS9DX and a 65 twin or a Vibroking. This setup get's me in the ball park. It's also close to the setup Henry Garza plays with ...

HERE'S THE FORMULA I USE GUY'S, AND ITS GREAT! AND ALSO, I'VE BEEN PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY FOR 31 YEARS, THE BLUES, AND I LOVED STEVIE. AMPS,VINTAGE AB763 CIRCUIT FENDER PRO W/O REVERB,PINE CAB, JBL D1 ...
