Stevie Ray Vaughan

Music really is a way to reach out and hold on to each other in a healthy way.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

Each Other Hold On Music Reach
Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing, and some of us, unfortunately, don’t make it there, and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn’t death.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

Death Example Growth Myself Unfortunate
What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, that’s all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me?
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

Hear Love Try Yourself

You know, there’s a big lie in this business. The lie is that it’s okay to go out in flames. But that doesn’t do anybody much good. I may be wrong, but I think Hendrix was trying to come around.

Looking back in front of me, in the mirror a grin. Through eyes of love I see, I’m only looking at a friend.

All the Strats have personalities of their own and feel completely different.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

Different Feeling Personality
I was walking around trying to act cool, like I had no fear at all. But I was afraid, afraid that somebody would find out just how scared I was. Now I’m finally realizing that fear is the opposite of love.

I mainly use Stratocasters. I like a lot of different kinds of guitars, but for what I do, it seems that a Stratocaster is the most versatile. I can pretty much get any sound out of it, and I use stock pickups.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

Different Guitar Instrument Kind Myself Sound Versatile
Even though there’s reasons to try things that may or may not work, it’s still a real intimate way to finish the song with everybody right there in the band just locked in.

God it’s good to be here walkin together, my friend.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

God Myself Togetherness Walk
If you hit the front end on the right-hand side you could turn that one on by itself and if you hit on the left-hand side you could turn it on and off. And in the middle it was like serious overdrive.
