I got bored one night, put the mics up in the studio and busted out some blues. This is my live version of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Pride and Joy. SRV is probably one of the most influential guitarist in the last 30 years. While all the hairbands were shredding he was laying down some groovy rootsy blues and playing clubs and venues all over the world.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say:
Stevie Ray Vaughan (born Stephen Ray Vaughan; October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is often considered to be one of the most important electric guitarists in the history of rock music by other musicians and commentators. Six albums of Vaughan's work have been released.[1] In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Stevie Ray Vaughan #7 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,[2] and Classic Rock Magazine ranked him #3 in their list of the 100 Wildest Guitar Heroes in 2007. He is widely considered to be one of the most influential blues guitarists in history.
Anyway here's my small atempt at playing one of his most popular tunes.
