Good for learning some SRV riffs.,
By LeftyGtar (Anaheim Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stevie Ray Vaughan* (Paperback)
When I started playing guitar some 35 years ago, I would listen to guitar riffs on records and try to emulate what I heard. That was a slow, laborious process, that not only resulted in many scratched LPs, but often I could never figure out exactly what the guitarist was doing. This book, and others like it, takes much of the guesswork out. It does not give you every note SRV played on the songs (I doubt anyone could thoroughly tab Stevie!) but does give the guitar player enough to learn SRV's riffs and how he weaved them into his songs. And the accompanying CD is almost like having a teacher sit with you; much more beneficial than just using a book!It looses a star for being too wordy and overly technical sounding (kill the adverbs, Wolf). Learning to play guitar is not complicated, nor does it take a music degree to be a Stevie Ray Vaughan (just lots of hard work, dedication, love of music and talent!). Like myself, many guitar players (SRV included) never took time to learn to read music. Just remember, the riffs are in the chords. If you want to learn to play like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Hendrix, or other guitar greats, this book will help. I think Stevie would have been flattered by the nice tributes Wolf gives him.

This review is from: Stevie Ray Vaughan* (Paperback)
I'm a Texas guitar player. Mostly Blues. I've been playing for half a century or better. I'm from Austin and the Vaughan bothers have been friends of mine. I miss Stevie like all get out. I guess we all do. He was a kind and humble guy. He lived to play his guitar. Not only do I love the respect and meticulous care Wolf put into this great insight into Stevie's playing. I love that Wolf put some real TLC into it. It's not Wolf's place to nit pick every tiny unexpected little nuance that Stevie's encyclopedic instincts whipped out on impulse and tab it out but rather to give you an insight into Stevie's sophisticated resevoir of knowledge and offer a musical explanation. In my personal opinion, Wolf does this as well as I've ever seen anyone do it. Wolf is as much a master at what he does as Stevie was at what he did. It's my personal opinion that Stevie would have said so had he had the chance. As for myself, I ate this book up like like apple cobbler at Threadgill's! Thanks Wolf, Keep on truckin, brother, You're smokin'.
