| I'm rocking a 90's Tobias 6 string, an 84 G&L L2000, and a 2006 Lakland. I guess I'm out of the running since I don't have such as an old Fender. Has anyone seen my mojo? Man that's TFB I really wanted that gig. The guys got an albums worth! |

| I'm pretty sure Stevie played .13s. Had to glue his calluses back on his fingertips with Super Glue because the heavy gauge strings would tear them off. Or, so the story goes. Craigslist: A wonderland of weird stuff. DaveT |

| I don't know exactly what qualifies you as a bluesman. They called me the blues kid before Stevie Ray made came along and made it acceptable. Whats real crazy though is the metal head didnt' start showing up at our shows until Yngwie Malmsteen (of all people) told them if they didn't know the blues, they didn't know shit on guitar. I swear on Albert Kings grave that the very week that Guitar World interview hit the stand, the club was full of moussed up hair! I get shit from white guys at the blues jams - I have been know to sweep and tap during a solo and I like to crank some distortion. On the other hand, I have never played a black bar with getting standing ovations so who am I going to believe?!?! I have played behind some extremely bonefied bluemen. I got to tell you, not one of them checked the caps for my guitar. Tube amps? I guess BB King and his Lab Series or Joe Pass and his Polytone Brute wouldn't have made the cut! Or for that matter - Robert Cray and his post-1980 Matchless Oh I am indeed sorry. He was talking about bass players. Some tell Tommy Shannon and his 80's solid state Peavy's to stay home!

| First of all I'd beat the snot out of his "tech" if he dared to touch my '64 Jazz bass. Sounds like a nice ad to a great way to lose your vintage gear in a heartbeat.

| If this was for real, he wouldn't be using a Tube Screamer...he'd be turning his amp up to 10 and using that distortion. Plus it would pay so badly to back him up that he couldn't afford to be picky about the bass and drums. |

| Good point. This guy apparently is either yanking everyone's chain or else he has no clue that Stevie was no purist. |

Whilst I have no doubt that No1 was a lovely guitar, it was FAAAAAAAAAR from original. It was, for a start- made up of the several different guitars (I forget if it was 2 or 3). Also, the original saddles were long gone by the time Dan got his hands on them. There is loads more but I won't bore you all with the details. I am sooooo not interested in vintage for vintage sake. I'll play anything I like and buy anything I can afford- if something breaks or doesn't work then I'll fix it or get it fixed. I don't have any time at all for the 'make sure the wiring is untouched' level of soc all guitar aficionado's. Most of those guys can't play the bloody things in any case. (aaaaaaaaaaaand.... relax) EDIT: and let's stop this bullshit about Stevie only playing guitars string with 13-56 (or is it 58's?). According to D.E. the gauge would sometimes be that high- but sometimes he would use 10's to stop him from getting RSI, split nails, and generally ****ed up hands.

I've seen similar "vintage gear only" crap in adds for indie bands in LA. One, in fact, stated that music skills were less important than your appearance and your gear. "We'll teach you how to play, but you gotta look the part first". Pathetic. | |

| There was a quote attributed to Bob Dylan, though it probably went much further back, that went something like: 'All these young white players, they're trying so hard to get INTO the blues whereas the real bluesmen were trying to get OUT of the blues' What SRV clones miss is that his great playing was an amalgam of a lot of different influences: Albert King/BB. King/Freddie King/T-Bone Walker/Buddy Guy/Jimi Hendrix/Jeff Beck/ Eric Clapton/ Hubert Sumlin/Muddy Waters/Lonnie Mack/ Johnny Winter/Jimmie Vaughan/Wes Montgomery/Kenny Burrell/Grant Green....and tons more and not only guitar players. There was tremendous depth to SRV's playing and simnply copying a few of his licks from the 'Guitar World' Blues Extavaganza edition won't get you there.... Personally, I'm totally tired of guitar players that try to be 'the new SRV', in every case it will be a watered-down copy that dwells on certain stylistic traits like the 'perpetual 'Cold Shot' right hand shuffle' but it will also be devoid of the nuance and soul that made up SRV's playing. Charlie Sexton and Doyle Bramhall II are two younger players that came out of the same lineage as Stevie and were probably the two main contenders for his 'throne'. It's interesing that both of them were going in different directions than the obvious 'new SRV' route that was laid out for them. I have tremendous respect for them because of that as well as for their great playing. BTW, I'm 100% sure that the ad was a joke. Read it again....

One of my favourites is Muddy Waters when he was talking about the young English guys from the 60's. "They want to play the blues real bad...... and they play the blues, REAL BAD!" Classic.
