exam blues

Stevie Ray Vaughans Amps and Effects - 1985 Japan TourI have been wanting to post this on here for a while. I can link it in now.

Today I did my first practical … exam, I guess, at uni. I performed Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughan. I felt kind of stupid when I got there any all the people in my class were performing amazing things by Bach and Debussy … then there is me … having a slap around some blues solo.

To my suprise it went down alright!

The picture is of SRV‘s amps and effects set up for his 1985 japan concerts. Many guitarists try and recreate SRV‘s sound and it has been pretty hard to find information on exactly what he used, that is why I found this interesting.
