STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

Of all our featured players SRV is the one where Albert’s influence can be heard most strongly. Space is left where the vocals would be and SRV often did this classic blues self-accompaniment technique where each vocal phrase is followed by one on the guitar. Check out the second finger bending as marked in bars 2, while bar 5 features a classic bit of Albert King vocabulary. This one also works well over a blues turnaround, intro or ending.
