Thanks, and yes that LP is really a beaut.
I’m a die hard LP man.
I’ll probably never own a strat even tho I love Stevie and Jimi and all the other strat men.
Help keep the Blues alive.
I met SRV early on before he became famous.
To me he was the most amazing live guitarist I’ve ever experienced in my life.
Nice post @Zurtle#6510
and yeah most of my hero’s have all dropped their bodies!
I saw his rig up close and it made no sense to me because in addition to the heaviest strings available his action was too high! (for me)
When I shook Stevie’s hand I noticed his large sausage-like fingers.
I felt like a little boy as my hand was swallowed up in his. lol.
I’m sure he started off with light strings, then moved into a jimi hendrix type of setup with maximum feedback/distortion.
I liked Clapton’s view that Stevie was always ‘On’. Always flowing.
I’m not that good either, meaning I’ll not be playing any live gigs soon.
But I spend 2- 4 hours a day practicing.
I’m with you 100% @Zurtle#6510.
We have to love it in order to play this difficult musical instrument.
