TürkçeThe Blues Approach Of Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie Ray Vaughan was obviously one of the epochal guitar player in Blues&Rock world just after Jimi Hendrix. He played ordinary blues patters like his own creation through his unique and incredible guitar technique. At this point some of people my not agree with me and they may say “Blues is a ordinary music so SRV may be a good guitarist but he was doing same thing”. I don’t think so because when you listen some of his songs like Lenny, Riviera Paradise you’ll realise that these songs includes some of jazz pieces. On the other hand when you listen Crossfire or Tightrope then you can hear rock solos with pentatonic blues patterns. He played completely different from the other blues guitarists using the same patterns and that’s why I admire to him.
Thanks to Stevie for his warm, open hearted and great music.
I can agree your admiration about his technique but I’m still not sure about him. Like everything in your life (you know, kidding), he does *not* make music in moderated way. It’s exaggerated, because I think his songs are basically country songs but he plays complicated and fastest as he can.
Sorry for my truthfulness but for me, there always will be something missing in his songs. I’m a follower of dire straits stream when the subject is blues-effected music.
Sure he’s a legand, and one of the most innovative musicians of his life, still i can’t listen more than 3 or 4 consecutive songs of him. Of course i’d dig him if i was a guitar player, it’s necessary for a blues/rock/jazz guitarist to be able to play such licks.
