Stevie Ray Vaughan

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.

Act Cool Fear Love Myself Try Walk
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.

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.

Different Guitar Instrument Kind Myself Sound Versatile
After I changed the string we picked up right where we left off – and punched back in at the same time. I don’t know if this has ever been done before. The engineer sort of looked at us weird, but we got it on the first take.

Change Myself Right Weird
Your sound is in your hands as much as anything. It’s the way you pick, and the way you hold the guitar, more than it is the amp or the guitar you use.

Guitar Hands Hold Sound Way Yourself
I don’t play with a lot of finesse. I usually play like I’m breaking out of jail!

While I was sleeping, I had a beautiful dream that all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength and began helping each other.

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

I play as many different things – piano, sax and harp parts – as I can at once. Whatever I can fit, whenever I need to.

The problem with taking amps to a shop is that they come back sounding like another amp.

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

I actually wanted to be a drummer, but I didn’t have any drums.

My baby she’s a long and lean, you mess with her you see a man get mean.
STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN

Herself Learning Man Yourself
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.
